Fifteenth Century Guns.

In 1927, when the English in Nor
mandy made their last assault on Mont
st. Michel under Lord Scales, they at
tackled it with several powerful en-
gines and certain machines of war"
Says an old writer, "They trained n
battery so furiously against the walls
that they made q breach" Among
these formidable weapons were two
enormous wrought iron guns, which
they were compelled to leave behind
OH being obliged to raise the siege.
They are still on exhibition with some
of their projectiles in a rallied inclosure
just inside the main entrance to the
town. The guns are of the kind for
merly called "bombards' and are of
different sizes. Tho larger one has a
caliber of nineteen inches, thirty and
quarter inches being the greatest eX-
ternal diameter and twelve feet the
total length, of which about three feet
four inches belong to the smaller pow
der chamber in the rear. 1t weighs
very nearly six tons. The other gun
weighs about a couple of tons less, is
of fifteen inches caliber and eleven feet
nine inches long. These weapons are
not cast, but built up" guns, being
formed of longitudinal bars about three
inches wide, arranged like the slaves
of a cask and bound round closely with
wrought iron hoops. The "Michelets,"
as they are called, are most likely Of
Flemish workmanship. Their projec-
tiles are made of hewn granite, and
those for the larger gun have been es-
timated to weigh 300 pounds apiece
The powder chamber is capable Of
holding about forty pounds of explo-
siye

There is hardly a single group of IN
appetite of one or more species of bird.
The eggs and larvae are dug and pried
out of their burrows in the wood by
woodpeckers and creepers; those un-
derground are scratched and clawed up
to view by quail, cartridges and many
sparrows; warblers and vireos scan
every leaf and twig. Flycatchers, like
the cat family of mammals, lie in wait
and surprise the insects on the wing,
more particularly those flying near the
ground, while swifts, swallows and
martins CLEAN harvest from the host
of high flying insects. When we think
humming birds are taking dainty sips
Of honey from the flowers they are in
reality more often snatching minute
spiders and flies from the deep cups of
the calyxes. When night falls, the in
sects, which have chosen that time as
the safer to carry on the business of
active life, are pounced on by crepus-
cular feathered beings; the cavernous
mouths of whippoorwills engulf them
as they rise from their hiding places,
and the bristle of night hawks brushes
them into no less rapacious maws If,
perchance, they have succeeded in
reaching the upper air.-New York

new YORK WORLD
THRlCE-A-WEEk EDITION..
Read wherever the English Lang
uage is s oxen.

The THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD was a
brilliant success in the beginning and has
been steadily growing ever since. Time
is the test of all things, and has set its
seal of approval on the Thrice-a- Week
World, which is widely circulated in
every state and territory in the union,
and wherever there are people who can
read our mother tongue.
This paper for the coming winter and
the year 1908, will make its news service,
if possible, more extensive than ever.
All events of importance, no matter
where they happen. are reported accur-
ately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar a
year, gets three papers every week and
more news and general reading than
most great dailies can furnish at five or
six times the price.
The Thrice-a-W Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias
is never allowed to effect its news
columns, and Democrat and Republican
alike can obtain in its pages truthful
accounts of all the great political cam
paigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice
a-Week World furnishes the best serial
fiction, elaborate market reports and
other features of interest.
The Thrice WEEK Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer il
and this paper together one year for
al 80 in this county. The regular sub
scriptioi- price of the two papers is 81.

BRISTOL.
MiddlebUry,
Vermont.

Health Officer f. II. Palmer announced
Tuesday that, in view of the fact that
no new cases of smallpox have appeared
in Bristol since December %, services
will be held Sunday. January 8, in the
churches, and the winter term of school
will open Monday, January 4. This will
relieve the situation to a great extent, j,
and will do much toward restoring
confidence. The school building was
thoroughly fumigated Monday
Those who now have the smallpox are
getting along nicely. Part of them ar
nearly recovered. So far as Bristol
concerned there is no reason for believ
ing there will be any more cases outside
the families now affected.
The report circulated Monday by an
irresponsible party that there was a case
in Middebury is absolutely false, there
is not a case in the village.

REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in a concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without a drop of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use il entirely
in all cases where | formerly depended
upon fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.
