The death of Miss Harriet w. Mead
on Friday afternoon at the residence of
her mother, Mrs. Mary w. Mead, Acad-
emy street, will be deeply felt through
out the village. Miss Mead has taken
such part as her strength permitted in
women's work for the village, and has
been unobtrusively prominent in the
Congregation al church, of which she and
her mother have been beloved members.
A large Bible class of young women
have greatly profited by her rare cul.
ture and deep religious experience. Miss
Mead has been student at Oberlin and
Middlebury colleges and graduated at
the Normal school at Potsdam, N. Y.
She was asuccessful teacher for several
years. Her mother survives her, and
also brother, Carl A. Mead, who is en-
gagged in law practice in New York city,
and sister. Mrs. Anna Mead Hobbs, the
widow of Rev. w. A. Hobbs, promi'
nent Congregational clergyman in New

church Monday afternoon at two o'clock
and was conducted by Rev. S. II. Bar
mum of Cornwall and DIR. Dickinson
Significant features of the service were
the presence of Miss Mcad's Bible class
and the singing with exquisite taste and
feeling, of two selections by Mrs. Cush
ing Hill. The burial was at Cornwall
the former home of the family, and wai
attended by many old friends.

An I'm postor.

A woman, claiming to be Mrs. Will
son of Mendon, VT, has canvassed this
and neighborng towns, begging money.
While here she claimed to be trying to
get money to pay the expense of trans
porting her family which she claimed
consisted of crippled husband and four
small children, to Pennsylvania. She
collected considerable money here and in
Salisbury, before the authorities learned
of the facts. When last heard of she
was in Rochester, VT, and claimed Mid
dlebury as her residence. William NJ.
Jackson, overseer of the poor, states that
this woman is swindler and should be
made to answer to the law for her acts.
"Middlebury can and will care for her
poor" he says, "and will care for Sister
Wilson if she will come within our juris-
diction again"

might feast on their brains and ate por-

there is still something to be said for
barbarian cannibalism in comparison
with the cannibalism of Wall street,

the fact that the former eats his dish

ERGAND LAMPS.
A Swiss Doctors Invention and What
1t Accomplished.

A swiss Doctors Invention and What
1t Accomplished.
What did Argand do for the lampf
Examine an ordinary lamp in which
goal oil is burned. The chimney pro.
tects the fame from sudden gusts Of
wind and also creates a draft of air,
just as the fire chimney creates a draft.
Argand's lamp was the first to have
chimney. Look below the chimney and
you will see open passages through
winch air may pass upward and find
It's way to the wick. Notice further
that as this draft of air passes upward
1t is so directed that when the lamp Is
burning an extra quantity of air plays
directly upon the wick. Before Argand
the wick received no supply of air.
NOW notice-and this is very important
that the wick Of our modern lamp is
nat or circular, but thin. The air in
abundance plays upon both sides of the
thin wick and burns it without making
smoke. Smoke is simply half burned
particles (soot Of burning substance.
The particles pass off half burned be-
cause enough air has not been sup
Piled Now Argand, by making the
wick thin and by causing plenty of air
to rush into the flame, thereby caused
1t to burn with a white fame
After the invention of Argand the
art of lamp making improved by leaps
and by bounds. More progress was
made in twenty years after 1888 than
had been made in twenty centuries be-
fore. New burners were invented, new
and better oils were used and better
wicks made, but all the new kinds Of
lamps were patterned after the Ar
gand.-S. E. Forman in St. Nicholas,
