have been circulated in regard to cases
of poisoning of human beings. In
only q single case vas the name of the
person or persons who had been killed
by cabbage supposed to be infested by
this hair worm given, and the post
master Of the city promptly denied any
knowledge OF the facts, all efforts that
were made to locate the origin of the
account being without success. 1t may
be safely assumed that all other reports
were equally untrue or greatly exag-
gerated. In fact, the entire matter was
a hoax save for the fact that the ru-
mors were placed in such general cir
culation that the consumption of cab
bage was greatly curtailed, many per-
sons fully believing in the poisonous
ness Of the hair worm. There is no
doubt, on the other hand, that the ma
jorty OF the reports of damage to the
cabbage crop were founded on fact.
We have positive knowledge of one
of these in Tennessee where fully
eighty-five per cent. of the States cab
bage crop was lost in 1904. Similar
losses were reported in various por-
tons of Missouri. Iowa, West Virginia
and Virginia. From data at hand it
can truthfully be said that thousands
of cabbage growers incurred severe
losses on account of the unfortunate
'scare" due TO the unwise circulation
of the verieSt rumorS.
In support of the statement which
has been made by letter by the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the past two
years, a DR.. Louis Leroy made tests in
order to determine whether the hair
worm or cabbage snake possessed
any poisonous properties. The usual
laboratory animals. rabbits, guinea pigs
and domestic animals, were fed with
the worms, raw and cooked; extracts
from the hai1 worms were prepared,
and the animals fed with them. and the
substance was injected hypodermical-
", the final result being reached, as
none Of the animals thus treated were
affected, that the cabbage snake" is
entirely harmless and the public ru-
mors and superstitions are fallacies
without semblance of foundation.

With proper space to grow and

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of 1T Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be .Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes,
because she has thequali-
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because Of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What disappointment.
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! Asiclly, half
dead-and-alive WON n,
especially when she is
the mother Of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness In the home, and a
drag upon her husband.

slant illness is a serious

OUR ANCESTORS.
The Erection of the First House in Town
to be Common Grated.

The Erection of the First House in Town
to be COMMUNICATED.
Benjamin Smalley from Salisbury,
Conn, was the first immigrant who
brought his family into town. In the
spring of 1878 he took possession and
built the first log house in town on
his 200 acre patch lying at the mouth
of Middlebury River. John Chapman
and Gamaliel Painter soon after came
with their families. The events of the
war of the Revolution soon changed
matters. AT the Invasion of Burgoyne
in TIT scouting parties composed of
British, Tories and Indians compelled
the retreat of the settlers in great haste.
In 1888 Mr.. Smalley and soon after
Mr.. Chapman, Painter and others re-
turned with their families. Mr.. Smalley
still retained his 200 acre lot on his
home farm and soon replaced his log
cabin with a frame house. His wife,
Martha Smalley, died in 1899 and he
then married Widow Story, celebrated
in history, with whom he lived until
his death in 1907.
Our antiquarian has often thought
some notice should be taken, and has
with the assistance of Mr.. Battell and
Mr.. Rose who contributed most of the
material, caused to be placed a marble
shaft designating where the house stood
AS the road has been moved greater
distance from the original site it was
thought best to place the stone near
the side of the road where it could be
easily read.
The inscription reads, Near this place
Benjamin Smalley built the first house
in town 1878. He married Widow
Story"
