Sunrise Magic.

Along the silent, sleepy street
The houses. gray n ole,
Bloom into castles, ruby-peake6.
Their windows paned with gold;
And rose-lights flicker where but now
We're shadows. deep and cold.
The shafts Of ashen smoke that swept
From chimneys. tall and grim.
Now wind. in coils OF violet
And purple, soft and dim,
Then roll away in Iroken wheels
With amber spoke and rim
The suns red wand has made a court
OF every barn and byre,
And with a single flashing gem
Has tipped the village spire.
And turned the snowballs on the lawn
To balls of carmine fire.

HINsDALEs EXTINCT VOLCANO.
Mine Mountain in the Wantastiquet Rang
Exhibits Traces of Ancient Volcanic Erup
tions-The Terrific Explosion Of 1900;

The Hinsdale correspondent of the
Sunday Republican offers the follow,
ing interesting contribution upon the
present prevailing world topic:
The terrible devastation and loss of
life by volcanic eruptions is an allah
sorbing theme just at present, and the
possibility of like calamity in other
ATTITUDES is freely discussed by scien-
fists If, as Virgil says, 1--WE may
compare small things with great
there are some grounds for the belief
that we have an extinct volcano right
here AT home. In a foot note to a sec
ton on volcanoes, in one of the edi
tions of Lyell's Geology. which was
standard textbook in the colleges and
academies half a century ago, it is
stated that Mine mountain in Hins-
dale, n. H., is the only locality in the
United States where are found traces
of ancient volcanic eruptions. OF
course the researches of biologists
since have been fruitful in the discov-
cry of like traces in other localities,
especially in the far West. but for
long time Mine mountain, the highest
peak in the Wantastiquet range that
extends from the Connecticut river
across North Hinsdale, was alone in
the rather doubtful honor of being an
extinct volcano. There was a singular
unanimity among the old people of
former generation in Hinsdale, most of
whom are now dead, in describing a
remarkable circumstance that hap
pened somewhere about the year 1900. .
As they told the story, one summer af- /
ternoon there was a terrific explosion, /
followed by rumbling sound, in the /
region of Mine mountain. \ cloud of /
smoke poured forth, dense and black. /
Not only men and women, but even an
imals were frightened by the noise,
which was heard at Dummerston, Vt,
and other places, and the whole coun-
try round about was enveloped in thick
smoke, which had peculiar odor An
immense amount of yellow ochre was
thrown out from the interior of the /
and scattered all about even
to its base, and it is said that the first Il
idea of digging for gold and silver
came out of this incident, and it is
certain that the project of mine was
started soon after by an Englishman
Dy the name of Hall. who formed
stock company and built house down I
below the point of excavation. 1t is I
natter of record that the mine had .
'een eXcavated prior to 1903, but the t
earch for gold and silver was fruitless, t
nd yellow ochre only rewarded the s
earch. For a long time afterward 5
most of the houses in that region were t
ainted with yellow ochre, and the old
own hall at Chesterfield had a coat of /
he same material. 1t is not impos-
ible that the highest peak of Wantas-
lquet has some secrets hidden away in
he bowels of the earth that may yet a
ecome evident to future generations. n

As result of an incorrect diagnosis
of a smallpox case Rutland is now
threatened with serious epidemic of
that disease. Henry NJ. Stringham
died at the city hospital May 3, after a
short illness. Fully dozen of the
best physicians diagnosed his case as a
blood disease. During his illness all
his friends were allowed to call on him
and he had a public funeral in the
Baptist church, about 300 attending.
Saturday the hospital nurse who cared
for Stringham, the dead mans sister,
his two children and five members of
the family of I. W. Riley, a friend,
are i'll with smallpox, as the result.
The physicians now admit that the
case of Stringham must have been
smallpox in peculiar form. Four
hundred men who worked at the shop
with Stringham were nearly all ex-
posed. The hospital has been quaran-
tined

NOTINGS.

At the convention in Trenton, n. J..
last week, Bishop Scarborough of the
Protestant Episcopal church expressed
strong disapproval of the custom Of
women appearing in public, especially
in churches, without hats. He also
urged the ministers of his charge to
devote more time to teaching the in
dissolubility of marriage.
The women compliments on customs
abuses began their campaign on Con
gress Thursday, having finished with
Secretary Shaw, by an appeal to Chairi
man Payne of the Ways and Means
committee on whom they urged the ne
cessity of passing the Mccall Personal
Baggage bill. They insisted that
something should be done to make the
inspection of baggage on the docks
easier, and urged the repeal of the
free limit of 500 on goods purchased
abroad.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Is Daily Saving Precious Lives
After Pronounced Failures
of Physicians.

The months just passed of the pres,
ent year have brought bereavement and
dark clouds of sorrow to many homes
in our land. Fathers, mothers, sisters,
and brothers have been forever re-
moved by the grim reaper, death. The
large majority of such could have been
saved had their friends given them
Paine's Celery Compound, instead of
the worthless medicines the sick ones
were forced to swallow.
In many families too lavish obedl-
ence to medical dictation kept the
true life saver from the sick and dy-
ing ones Past records of marvellous
cures and victories wrought by Paine's
Celery Compound were ignored by med
ical men; in word, it was unprofes-
sional in their estimation to introduce
the life giving compound.
All Remorse is now doing its quiet
but effective work, and those most
closely Interested are suffering for
their neglect.
Will you, dear reader, allow some
dear relative or friend to pass from life
without making an effort to save the
perishing one by Paine's Celery Com
pound: The virtues and powers of DR..
Phelps prescription are wondrously far
reaching and mighty. Even though
your friends have suffered long, and
have come to that point where the ply
stefan is helpless to save, even then,
there is a blessed hope if Paine's Gel
cry Compound is used
The desperate cases cured in the past
and the number of precious lives saved,
is the bright, the living proof, that
Paine's Celery Compound makes sick
people we'll.
