officer of the North church auxiliary, who
greeted the visitors, and then read a

A splendidly helpful day is in store for
Caledonia county Christian Endeavorers,
Dec. IL, the occasion of their tenth an
nlversary as county organization. The
program has been prepared with a spec.
ial view of emphasizing the practical lea

portunity for candid discussion. The
presence of Rev. F. E. Clark of Boston.
during the latter part OF the afternoon
session and in the evening, will count for
much, and it is hoped that his address at

The forenoon and afternoon sessions
will be held in the chapel, and the even.
ing session in the larger audience room.

A great storm wave is peculiar to cy-
clones. At the center of the disturb
ance the mercury in a good barometer
may be lower by three inches than that
in similar instrument on the verge
of the cyclone. This is owing to the
diminution of atmospheric pressure
consequent on the rotation of the air
wheel, and as nature abhors a vacuum
the sea in the vortex rises above its
usual level until equilibrium is restor-
ed. THIS storm wave advances with
the hurricane and rolls in upon the low
land like solid wall. In the Backer-
gunge cyclone OF 1876 the storm wave
covered the land at the eastern end of
the Ganges delta at heights varying
from ten to forty-fve feet, as measured
by marks on the trees. One hundred
thousand lives were lost on this occa-

Holiday Sales.

The first holiday sale of the season was
held at the Universalist church Thursday
and Friday and was very successful in
every way. The clam chowder supper
Thursday evening was excellent and well
patronized and the "Snow Cap Sisters, Z"
which was presented Friday evening,
was very pleasing entertainment. The
society realized over 500 from the two
afternoons and evenings, and may well
feel satisfied with the results.
The sale of fancy articles and food held
by St. Margaret's Guild and the Rec
tors Aid Society of St. Andrews church,
Monday and Tuesday, was also very
successful. The FIVE cent table proved
quite novelty, and many awaited them
selves of the opportunity to secure
Thanksgiving supplies from the food

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
In reading the very interesting article
in the CALIFORNIAN on the asbestos mines
l notice one serious error, which for the
benefit of your readers and the public
generally, wish to correct at this time,
and that is the location OF my mine. The
writer says it lies on the north spur OF
| BelVldere mountain. Such is not the
case at all. My land is practically all
on the east slope of the mountain. From
my boarding house which is probably
twenty-five feet higher than the brook
which runs through the lowest portion
of the valley at this point to the foot of
the ledge due west in nearly a straight
line is, by actual measurement, Al rods,
and less than one hundred feet above it.
From the foot of the ledge to where the |
milling plant is to be built is $50 feet
from the milling plant to the saw and |
finishing mill which is directly over the
brook in the valley, is exactly so rods
BeNlueTe mountain mas but one spur
and that is due west from the house one
and one.half miles, and the summit is
but little lower than Jay Peak. The
deposit OF asbestos runs southwestern
through my land and into the town OF
Eden to the New England Mining and
Milling Company's property and south
If the summit. In the event of rail.

Praise for Brightlook Hospital.

The Morrisyile News and Citizen has
the kindest words for one of our leading
institutions and says this:
'St. Johnsbury has shown commend
aole enterprise in many worthy objects,
but IN none more effectively than in it's
oIrganiz1tlon and maintenance of Bright
look Hospital 1t required consider
ape work to get the enterprise on its
leet, but those who have had the labor.
ing oar can now see the results of their
work-a good building, well furnished
and equipped. 1t is founded for the our
pose Of caring for the SICK and suffering
OF Caledonia county; those who are able
to pay, do so, but those who are not. are
cared for just the same. All honor to
the projectors OF the enterprise, which is
a most worthy one, and might well be
initiated by other co unties."

They Found the Pail,

During a spell of particularly hot
weather a well known baronet came
across three workmen engaged on a
job on his estate. One of them remark
ed, as workmen not infrequently do,
on the dryness of the job. The heat
had perhaps extended itself to the bar
onet's temper. At any rate he turned
away, with the reply: IF you are
thirsty, you know where the we'll is.
You will find pail there"
Thinking over his remark a little lat
er, it flashed across the baronets mind
that he had given orders for three bot
ties of champagne to be put into the
pail and lowered into the we'll to cool
for dinner. He FASTENED to the well
and discovered three empty bottles!
What he said this time is not reported.

Magic and rlimiCry.

The next entertainment in the Star
course comes Tuesday evening and will
be an enjoyable night of mirth, music,
mlmlcry and magic. Both the perform
ers are new to st. Johnsbury audiences,
but for three years they have delighted
audiences in all states and the combna-
ton cannot be duplicated in this coun-

work so cleverly that it borders on the
marvellous. The San Francisco Call
