THE HIPP0P0TAMUS.
Uncouth Antics of This UnwieIdy AMI
NAL In African Waters.

MAJ III HTFlCdH WdISTSs
''In the channels which traverse
the marshes of certain districts in
central Africa" writes a traveller,
"hippopotami in incredible numbers
are met with-sometimes in herds of
sixty and seventy. Wherever the
channel widens out into a reedy
lake rows of grotesque looking heads
with ears erect appear above the
water surface, their owners studying
the extraordinary apparition pro-
duced by the steamer. On approach
ing the spot these heads disappear,
one after the other, under water,
and a series of waves and large rip
Piles indicate the passage of the mon
'ster forms below the surface. After
a few minutes time the same huge
heads reappear, generally down
stream of the boat. They have an
other stare and again disappear, with
a snort and the expulsion of small
volume of water from the nostrils.
Not infrequently severe bump is
felt in the steamer, making the
whole hull culver, as the back of a
hippopotamus seeking to escape has
touched it.
eff the water should happen to be
shallow, the attempts of these ami
mais to hide themselves are ludic-
rous, as their movements are clumsy
and their anger and fear are evident.
In such cases their heads and the
fore parts of their bodies are under
water, and nothing is seen but the
huge pink hind quarters, struggling,
kicking and churning up the water
in the effort to get out of sight. AL
though their uncouth antics may be
safely watched from a steamer, it is
a very different matter if the OBJ
server is in a canoe or a small boat.
Then his position is one of consider
able danger, as he stands a very
good chance of being upset.
''As the water of all these chan
nels swarms with crocodiles, such
contingency is not pleasant to con-
template. The natives are fully
alive to this risk and never venture
in their dugout canoes into the
broad streams infested by hippo
potami, but invariably keep to the
shallow and narrow branches on Ell
Their side of the main river"

Divine Worship on Top of Mt. Mansfield.

At 10 30, a. m, Sunday morning,
July 20, 1905, an informal Union
service was held in the cheerful par
lor of the summit house, Mt. Mans
field, with brief address by Rev. c O.
Day, D. d., of Andover, Mass, Dean
of Andover Theological Seminary.
and former Chaplain of Ist. Vermont
Regiment.
In the conduct of the devotional
exercises he was assisted by the fol,
lowing singers, who very kindly con.
sented to lead the singing of several
familiar hymns: Miss lila Faunce,
Soprano; Miss Anna Mayo, soprano;
Miss Alice Campbell, contraltc; Mrs.
w. H. Hillman, tenor; and Mrs. J.
B. Campbell, bass. The service was
unique not only as to time and place,
but also in the personelle of the wor.
shippers, which included the EN-.
ployees of the House, the regular
guests and large camping party of
rs young men and boys, which had
arrived from Mallet's Bay, Lake
Champlain, the day before, in charge
of Mr.. C. w. Mayser, of Newark, N.
!. One of the humblest and most
attentive listeners to the sermon Of
the Rev. Doctor. was "Bill," strenu-
Gus Irish TERROR, and mascot OF the
party, who the proceeding day had
been so unwise as to have gotten
into controversy with large sized
porcupine.
The Rev. Doctor selected the
theme of his address from Matt. ~.
l-2, emphasizing consecutively the
inslgnifcance and greatness of man
in contrast with the grandeur of the
Universe, the value of mountain
climbing as a discipline, and the ne
cessity of being truly good and great
ourselves if we would correctly ap-
precate the moral grandeur of the
life and death of our Saviour.
During the course of the service an
offering amounting to S495 was re
ceived from the assembled guests by
Mr.. Mayser, acting as Deacon, and
by happy pre,arrangement the money
was made over to the Clerk of the
House with introduction to deliver in
equal thirds to the respective Treas
urers Of the three Churches of Stowe
village.
On account of high westerly winds
it was deemed impracticable to hold
the service in the rocks adjoining the
House as originally planned.

The "PIimsoII Mark"

Many a person has looked at a
British ship lying in low water and
wondered what was meant by cir
cular mark with straight line run
ming through it which is to, be seen
on the side of the vessel. This is
known as the "Pimsoll mark. :"
Samuel Plimsoll, the friend of sea-
faring men, devoted the best years
of his life to furthering the interests
of sailors. He noticed that over
loaded and unseaworthy vessels were
often sent on voyages, with great
danger to human life. He tried to
induce the British parliament to
alter matters; but, failing to do so,
he himself entered the house of
commons in 1868 and succeeded in
getting the merchant shipping act
passed. By tk5s act the board of
trade was empowered to detain any
vessel deemed Unsafe. Finally own
ers were ordered to have a load wa
ter mark painted upon their YES
sells sides.

shoulder one hour thirty minutes. "
Later, on the other page, Partial
firing continued until four hours
thirty minutes, when victory hav-
ing been reported to the Right Hon.
Lord ViscouHt Nelson, K. B., and
commander in chief, he then died of
his wound" And all the time in the

Pascal, who Disraeli called the
greatest of Frenchmen, from birth
till death suffered from nervous
troubles. At one year of agsu be fell
into languor, during Which he
could not see water without mani
Testing great outbursts of passion,
and, still more peculiar, he could
not bear to see his father and moth
er near each other. In 1927 he had
paralysis from his waist down, so
that he could not walk without
crutches. This condition continued
three months. During his last hours
he was taken with terrible convul-
sions, in which he died. The autop-
sy showed peculiarities. His crani-
UNI appeared to have no suture un-
less perhaps the lambaoid or sagit-
tai. A large quantity ofsthe brain
substance was very much condensed.
Opposite the ventricles there were
two impressions as of finger in
wax. These cavities were full of
clotted and decayed blood, and there
was, it is said, gangrenous condi-
tiOn of the dura mater.

The ImmIQratlon Peril

According to the predictions OF
those who ought to know, the emmi-
grafton to the United States, which
has so far exceeded all previous rec
ords, will continue to increase in the
future. The immigrants, too, seem
to lose in quality what they gam
in quantity, and matters are assum-
ing a serious aspect, so serious IN
fact that the government has sent
two inspectors over to Europe to IN
vestigate the causes and conditions
of such an influx TO this country.
These inspectors report that, not
withstanding the strict laws OF our
government, and rules of the steam
ship companies, parties claiming to
be agents of the transportation lines,
will for the consideration of few
dollars extra fare, guarantee to ad-
NIT any person to this country, and
this is evidenced by the number OF
aliens who are turned back as soon
as these shores are reached, and NOT
allowed to enter.
When this country was young, we
rceded all the immigrants we could
get to open up and settle the vast
farms in the middle west. The class
OF foreigners then was of the desir-
able kind who were industrious and
would in time make COED citizens.
But now a change seems to have
taken place, and instead of settling
in the country, most of these persons
will stay in the large cities like New
York. Philadelphia or Chicago, and
establish colonies of their own scarce
ly ever coming in touch with the
Americans except to take part in
some riot or other form of disturb
ance.
To be sure there are many desir-
able persons in Europe whom we
should be glad to welcome and would
make good citizens, but in the imml-
grafton of late years, these are in
the minority. 1t is the roaming, dis
satisfied sort who come here, and,
not finding the wealth of which they
had heard, as easily obtained as ex-
pected, they start in to run things
after their own ideas, and the result
is strikes and anarchy. America has
ever been the haven of the oppressed,
and always will be, but more pre-
cautions should be taken against adj
mitting this class who never will,
and never can, make good patriotic
citizens.

The Vermont Press Association
was handsomely entertained by the
press of Brattleboro at it's meeting
at that place last week. The COM
mittee having the affair in charge
were untiring in their efforts and it
was the unanimous opinion of all
that it was one of the best meetings
in the history of the Association.
Brattleboro is a model New England
village-large enough to be a city,
but it prefers not to be. It's fine
residences, handsome churches and
beautiful public buildings, with its
well kept lawns and nicely laid out
streets make it an ideal place of resi-
dence. Delightfully."- located and beau
tiful environments makes Brattle-
boro one of the handsomest of our
New England villages.
