DIXONIZED GUSH.

The Hon. John Nugent has been
much in evidence in the columns
Sof the Honorable Samuel Dixon's
Charleston Mail during the past
few days. He has dashed him
self into frenzy over an edi-
torial which appeared in a recent
issue of the B1ine Workers Journal
and which was reproduced in this
paper. Mr.. Nugent and his
official mouthpiece, the Mail, az
sert that the aforesaid editorial
was a "bitter personal attack" up.
on him, and in consequence have
made warranted and malicious
attacks upon the National and
District Mine Workers officials, the
official organ of that organization
and everybody in general connect
ed with the labor movement.
That their contentious and the
construction placed on the article
in question by them are utterly
absurd can be readily seen by a
careful pcrusal of the article by
any fair minded person. Mr..
Nugent's name is referred to only
three times in the entire editorial
and then only in a casual and gen
eral way, the main portion being
devoted to the existing conditions
i'll the unorganized coal fields of
West Virginia.
TO those conversant with the
facts i'll the case it looks as though
Mr.. Nugcnt were playing to the
galleries for a little cheap news
paper notoriety and is being ably
assisted by the remnant of the
Dixon twins, who is always at
home when it comes to maliciousIy
mlsreprcscnting organized labor.
The fair employers and good
citizens are not giving this latest
Dixonized star play serious consid-
Grafton and no amount of such
cowardly thrusts at John Mitchell
and his great organization can
shake their confidence and esteem
i'll that peerless leader.
AS to the attack upon us we will
onl y say that we are willing to let
the people with whom we have
come in contact and labored with
during the past twenty one years
which by the way was long before
this bunch of character assassina-
tors made their advent hcre-be
the judge and we are willing to
abide by their decision.

THE TONGUE OF A BIRD.
An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species,

Few people have given thought tc
the subject of birds tongues. Many
even of the amateur bird students.
know little of the literature on the
subject and still less from personal OBJ
servation.
Birds must use their bills as hands.
and to some extent the tongues supple
ment such use. Thus nut and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the SHE'LL which is cracked between
the mandibles.
The full complement of bones of the
tongue consists of eight. The shape
varies considerably in different Species
and the comparative size very much
more, although there is a prevailing

velously developed and greatly elon-
gated, for these are the bones on which
the tongue is hung.
The edges of the tongues of most
birds are more or less fringed, this fea-
ture being most noticeable in thin
Most birds have greater or
less number of papillae-small feshy
projections, spinelike in appearance
and usually inclined backward-on the
upper surface of the tongue. These
are of service in working the food
backward toward the throat.
Some of the sea birds have very sim
pie tongues. which serve but little pur-
pose. The tongues of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long feathering.

A very pretty feature of the exercises
was the singing of America by ten child
rem, beneath the stars and stripes. under
the leadership of Miss Ethel Ramage.
Chauncey Miltemore of "Green
Mountain Hall' farm was superintend-
ent OF the pyrotechnic display, which
was elaborate and beautiful. Sim Ren1ick
had charge of the bon-fres on the hill
which lighted up the country side. The
general arrangements were nnder the
supervision of David Ramage Jr., of"Ard-
na-clachan." Mrs. James Ramage of
North Troy and Mr.. Inglis of Portland
were among the guests. A vote of
thanks and three cheers were given to
the host and hostess for the delightful
evening which their thoughtful kindness
had made possible, to which Mr.. Ramage
made fitting reply, expressing the
pleasure which the occasion had afforded
him and his family.
After singing America the party
separated at II o'clock, after an evening
OF unalloyed pleasure. which will long be

St. /. 6. LittletOn 2.

In addition to the circus there was an
interesting game of ball played here the
Fourth that drew good crowd and
proved a red hot contest.
The local team on this occasion put it
over the crack aggregation from Little
ton to the tune of 6 to 2. Manager
Laird was in the box for his team, and
if the Littleton bunch had planned on
raising their batting averages on this
trip, they must have discovered early in
the game that they were up against the
wrong man, as Hydie's wing seemed to
be made of iron and he was as steady as
a clock, not hit being scored off from
his delivery during the nine innings, and
the support he received was worthy of
the big leagues.
Lynch, the schoolboy, was the slab
artist produced by the visitors, and his
work was all to the candy except in the
fifth, when by punching the hits and
aided by a wild throw by Daisey and
one or two fielding errors, our boys got
four men across the plate and cinched
the game. There was little in the line of
sensational plays, but it was good
consistent base ball all the way, just the
kind the fans enjoy, and the kind the
local team have been putting up all the
season and give promise of so doing in
the future. roy

Arthur F. Stone had charge of the

ii. n. Turner to give the address of vel
come. Mr.. Turner spoke of the CRYING
need OF work Tor young men, and said he
was with them to put the Y. NJ. c. A.
upon an active and business basis.
j. K. Edwards of Sherbrooke, presi-
dent OF the Y. M c. A. there, spoke of
the successful campaign at Sherbrooke,
where $32, 1000 had been raised in ten
days.
Hon. ]. A. DeBoer of Montpelier fol-
lowed with an uplifting and eloquent
address upon the great rewards of help
ing young men. He gave a striking per-
sonal instance of the success of the group
OF boys that sold newspapers in Albany
a generation ago, and said it was de-
hberate falsehood that the American
wanted to make money. They wanted
the chance to better themselves and to
work for an honest wage. He said we
owed it to the young man to give him
the best chance in life, and the Y. NJ. c.
A. furnished the means to do this and
the best means.
F. S. Retain, president of the Bdrling-
ton Y. NJ. {. A., gave a stirring talk
upon how Burlington raised $55 900 in

ing St. .Johnsbnry to see what this town
would do and he was sure they would
succeed.
Principal Rowland of the Academy
said the educational institutions and the
churches did their part part in helping
the young men, but the Y. NJ. c. A. did a
work which no other organization could
do He spoke of the undenominational
