Landslide at East Putney.

a serious landslide occurred early
Monday morning about a mile north of
East Putney, covering the Boston &
Maine tracks for some distance and
badly wrecking a freight train which
was passing. The engine of the
freight was damaged and thrown from
the track. Two cars in the middle
of the train were doubled up and
broken in two by the sudden stopping
of the train and one car went down the
embankment toward the river. A
wrecking train was called from Bel
lows Falls, but the track was not clear
ed until about noon. One car which
was damaged the most was burned,
and the engine was taken to Brattle-
boro. The rest of the debris was left
to be moved next Sunday. The two
forenoon trains for Springfield were
sent around by Keene and South
Vernon
The point where the slide occurred
is only few rods from the place
where the slide of July took place
and the bank for some distance has
been considered so unsafe of late ow-
ing to the excessive rains that man
is kept on duty there day and night to
watch it and all trains have orders to
reduce speed while passing. This
slide came suddenly, directly in front
of the approaching engine.

struct the foundation for the water
wheels and power plant. Two pen
stocks, eight feet square. will carry
water from the pond. They will be
made of steel, shipped in sections to
the scene of operations and put to-
gether there. One of these penstocks
will not be used at first, but will be
closed and kept in readiness for use
when occasion demands.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear There is only one
way 10 cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies, Deafness is caused by an in
tlammed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rambling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when IL is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh'
which is nothing but an intammed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

He Saw the Joke.

Here is true story of curious per-
sonality well known to many profess
sional men in London today: He is a
Scot, whose business ability is above
the average, but everything he does is
done with the air of a man constantly
wrestling with some problem of the
soul. He rarely speaks unless spoken
to. He never smiles, and his eyes have
fixed but intense expression. One
day he was returning to London with
several companions. The whole par
ty were Scotch, but the companions
were of genial type. One of them told
n humorous tale, over which the rest
laughed uproariously. Not so the hui
man problem. He sat in a corner of
the railway carriage glowering at his
mirthful friends. Half an hour after
ward, however, when all were standing
at a street corner before separating he
took one aside and said solemnly and
slowly: eye would obsairve that l did
ma laugh at yond story. Well, | saw
the joke. Ye might not think it, but
have keen sense of humor. London

Curious Translation Errors.

Some amusing errors are made by
translators. An Italian paper turned
Kipling's "Absentminded Beggar" into
DISTRACTED Mendicant." Another
Italian editor who translated a pas
sage from an English paper about a
man who had killed his wife with a
poker added an ingenious footnote to
say, 1--WE do not know with certainty
whether this thing 'pokero' be a domes-
tic or surgical instrument" The des-
perate eXpedient of the French trans
lator of Coopers Spy" who had to
explain how horse could be hitched
'to a locust" is worth recalling. He
had never heard of locust trees and
rendered the word by ''sauterelle," or
grasshopper. Feeling that this needed
some explanation, he appended a foot
note explaining that grasshoppers
grew to gigantic size in the United
States and that it was the custom to
place stuffed specimen at the door
of every mansion for the convenience
of visitors, who hitched their horses
to it.

The Bluejay.

One may pet or patronize, according
to ones nature, chipping sparrow,
bluebird or phoebe, but he is indeed
we'll coated with self esteem who does
not feel a sense of inferiority in the
presence of a jay. He is such
shrewd, Independent and aggressive
creature that one is inevitably led to
the belief that he is more of a success
as a bird than most men are as men.
Conspicuous by voice and action dur
ing the fall and winter, when other
birds are quietest, he becomes silent
when other birds are most vocal. If he
has love song, it is reserved for the
ear of his mate. At this season he
even controls his fondness for owl
batting and with it his vituperative
gifts. The robin, the catbird and the
thrasher seem eager to betray the loca-
ton of their nests to every passerby,
but the bluejay gives no evidence of
the site of his habitation by being seen
in it's vicinity.-Frank M. Chapman in

"An Entire Concert in Himself"

1t seems !most incredible that a
banjo player, entirely unassisted,
could hold the attention of cultured
audiences in first class music halls
for upwards of two hours, and win
enthusiastic applause for every selec-
ton and numerous encores and calls
at the conclusion of programmes COM
prising from 10 to 30 numbers, yet
Mr. Farland has accomplished this
almost nightly for upwards of seven
years. His repertoire includes Bach S
Sixth Violin Solo Sonata, Beethoven's
Eighth Violin Sonata (Peters' Edi.
tom, Mendelssohn' Violin Concerto,
de Beriot's Second Concerto several
standard overtures, an almost un
limited number of lighter selections
by Chopin, Schubert, Verdi, Mosz-

hearts of the people. 1908

The Adirondack Forest.

The state of New York now has a
baby forest in the Adirondack where
trees are being raised to reforest a de-
nuded tract This has brought the
state fish, game and forest commission
to the consideration of project to es-
tablish tree nurseries in the woods on
much the same principle of the state
fish hatcheries. After trees have had
the proper growth they would be given
free to citizens and municipalities and
used where needed ON state lands. In
this way it is hoped to reclaim much
denuded land. The proposition is COM
nlendable. 1t emphasizes, however, the
folly of permitting what remains of the
Adirondack forest lands to be cut over
if the state later Is to be at considera-
BILE expense to undertake the slow
process of reforestation.-Rom Senti-
mel
