Mr.. Birrelrs story about the little
ragamuffin in a church school stirred
q clerical correspondent to write let
ter wherein he spoke Of ragamufiins
as boys who have more rags than
mullins" No doubt that was not meant
tobe taken seriously from the etymolog-
ical point of view. The muffin of the
word has puzzled many. "Ragamuf-
fn,' says DR.. Johnson, sis from rag
and know not what else" According
to Dr. Brewer the word means a rag
ged "muff" or muffin" Ia spiritless

Another Of the iSa me Sort.

On Friday, June 80, 1906, occurred the
50th anniversary of the marriage of w.
j. Brainard and wife. The marriage was
one of the first to take place in the town
of Wyoming, Iowa.
Whitney j. Brainard was born in Me-
dina county. Ohio, September IA, 1928,
and came west settling at this place
November 20, 1854, when it was simply a
town in prospect, but plenty of work for
one following his calling of carpenter
and contractor. Jane Cady was born at
Stowe, Vermont, January 81, 1910.
With her parents she moved west in 1854,
settling at this place, On June 29, 1856,
this young couple were joined together
in the holy bonds of matrimony and
have grown up with our town for it has
been their home through the fifty years
of welded life. Their living children
are Sterling H. Brainard of this place,
Stanley G. Brainard of Davenport, Hat
tie Garrison of Stanwood and Mae Rich
ards of Mechanicville.

largest of these is that just supplied to
the new battleship, Connecticut. The
lens of this sea1chlight is more than five
feet across. When the maximum power
is being used the lights have an intensity
of sixty thousand candle power, and its
rays can be thrown several miles.
Searchlight drills take place whenever
a squadron lies in harbor, Steam
launches to represent attacking torpedo
boats, are sent out from the vessels, with
instructions 10 return under full speed,
each launch striving to get as close as
possible without being1 discovered.
Meantime the searchlights are so direct
ed as to have their rays skim every
square yard of water within the lights
range. Sometimes, even under the
severe glare of light, the boats succeed
in reaching their ships. In actual war
this would, of course, result in the ami
hilation of the war vessel.
Visitors to the jamestown Exposition
will have an opportunity to see search
lights on a scale never before attempted.

Since our return we have noticed the
following in the Burlington Free Press:
AUToIsTs BRIGHTEN HORSE, WOMEN HURT
Charlotte, Aug. 3.-While Mrs. Henry
Thorp of this town and Mrs. w. White,
wife of DIR. White of Chicago, were driv-
ing down the hill near the Congregation
al church this afternoon at about five
o'clock, they met two automobiles COM
ing up the hill. Mrs. Thorp's horse be-
came frightened and backed in front of
the head machine. The mud guard on
the automobile caught in one of the car
riage wheels, tipping it over. Both Mrs.
Thorp and Mrs. White were thrown to
the ground and severely bruised and 9TH
erwise injured. The two women were
placed in the automobiles and taken to
their home. The two machines are own
ed by parties who have been stopping at

We do not know what the conditions
of road building are in New York,
but in Vermont, where towns build
and maintain roads, and the care of
them is left to these towns, with especial
laws for the removal of nuisances, we
would like to see the question tested,
whether these towns are not re-
sponsible for all damage which results
from their remissness, in not preventing
any condition which renders the roads
unsafe for those who have the right to
use them.
We doubt not that this will eventually
be done, and then we will know where
we are at. There certainly must be
responsibility somewhere, and that some-
where must be where it can be used at
once, and we know no place where it SO
certainly rests as with those whose duty
it is to see that these roads are kept
free from nuisances a nuisance Of
necessity being anything which interferes
with the safe or comfortable use of the
highways by those who have the right
to use them.
And this we believe to be true, not
"ilHeIdHuinS our present laws 90 nOI
hold the towns responsible for complete
repairs of the highways. The two cases
are different. 1t does hold them respon-
sible for the condition of bridges, directly
recognizing the principle that there are
some deficiencies which the traveller may
be reasonably supposed to be able to
DrOvide against and others that he can-
not.

PUMICE STONE.
The Product of Monte Chirfca, on the
Island of Lfpari.


Pumice. as is we'll known, is of vol
canic origin, being trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape of gases when in a molten state.
1t is found on most of the shores of the
Tyrhenian sea and elsewhere, but is at
present almost exclusively obtained
from the little island Of Lipari. Most
of the volcanoes of Lipari have elected
pumaceous rocks but the best stone is
all the product of one mountain, Monte
Chirica, nearly 1000 feet in height,
with its two accessory craters The
district in which the pumice is excavat-
ed covers an area of three square miles.
1t has been calculated that about 1000
hands are engaged in this industry, GOO
Of whom are employed in extricating
the mineral.
Pumice is brought to the surface in
large blocks or in baskets and is car
ried thus either to the neighboring vii
lage or to the seashore to be taken
there In boats. The supply is said to be
practically inexhaustible. Pumice is
used not merely for securing and
cleansing purposes, but also for polish
ing in numerous trades; hence the fact
that the powdered pumice exported ex-
ceeds in weight the block pumice. Be-
tween twenty and thirty merchants are
engaged in the pumice trade on the
island.-London News.

Wonders of the Ofshore Sierras, a
Coast Range of California.
Along the great blue current Of
Japan that sweeps down the Califor-
MIA coast is strung a chain of islands.
They are the SUBMITS of offshore SER
ras, a coast range of California that
has been partly overwhelmed by the
sea. All have peculiar beard, or pro-
tecting growth of weed, that consti-
tutes a perfect forest about them, a
giant seaweed growing in water sixty
or more feet in depth and forming a
natural wave break and a home for
countless marine animals. The vines
are sometimes 100 feet in length vast
cables, with broad, crimpled leaves of
a dark olive hue, which assume grace
full shapes in the tide.
When the visitor peers down into
the turquoise water the scene is often
a revelation. A new world is opened
up and the real beauties of oceanic or
submarine scenery are appreciated.
The great leaves are carried by the
1tful currents that sweep these islands
in every direction. Sometimes they
are extended at full length and appear
like a horde Of green snakes. Again
they lie down upon the surface list

shapes and forming hooks and corners

So attractive are these forests that
what is known as the water glass has
been elaborated into glass bottomed

glass windows through which the pas
sengers may look down into the kelp

rowboats to sidewheel steamers, so ar
ranged that they can float over the
forest and view its wonders up and
down the coast.-Chicago News.

GOLDEN WEDDINGS
Former Vermont Couples CeIe-
brate Their Anniversary

Tuesday, July 3, 1906, was the fiftieth
anniversary of the wedding of Israel Pei
key and wife of Wyoming, Iowa. The
fact became known to their neighbors
and on the afternoon of that day some
twenty -four of them called and spent a

Vermont, July 4, 1885, and Lorraine H..
Mills at Bridport, Vermont, December 20,
1888. They were married at Shoreham,

Jones county, Iowa, in October, 1898,
settling in Madison township on farm.
About. sixteen years ago they left the
farm, and settled in this place, where
they are enjoying a ripe old age, COM
fortably Mr.. Pelkey answered the call
for troops in the early days of the civil
war and served in the 9Th Michigan ar
tillery from March "a, 1862, to January 9,
1868. Afterwards, on August 30, 1864,

THE DANGEROUS AUTO.
Local Evidence Of Its fMenac ing
Character People Fled From Its
Approach.


Approach.
There were lively times on the lower
portion of Court street Tuesday after
noon. A big touring car was seen ap-
preaching, when all at once the chauf-
feur exhibited signs of distress and the
car began lurching from one side of the
street to the other. Teams and footmen
alike were alarmed and fled from its APP
proach. The passengers it contained
seemed wild with excitement, looking
for some means of escape, the men i'm
ploring the women to keep their seats
and the latter almost going into Mysteries
with fright The big machine darted
toward the sidewalk just missing large
tree, and ran upon bank where it was
overturned. All six of the occupants
were thrown out, two of them-a lady
and one OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES evidences
of injury, but with stoical indifference
kept up their courage.
One of the front wheels of the vehicle
was found to be smashed and other parts
wrenched and damaged. The occupants
were found to be Mr.. and Mrs. Warner
Bott, of Albany, Mr.. and Mrs. Bullard,
of Schuylerville, and lady guest of the
party. The auto belonged to Mr.. Billiard
and they had come from Shelburne
bound for Albany. The passengers re-
manned here over night and took the
train in the morning for their destna-
ton.
Judging from the comments of the
persons collected about the scene of the
accident automobiling did not make any
advocates at this place.
