Haying in December.

A White River Junction business
man on one of his journeys Through
the White River valley last week be-
held the unusual spectacle of haying
in December. Moving machine,
horse rake, and loading teams were
in full operation in tem-acre field.
He did not ascertain whether the
crop was this years or last, or
whether winter haying marked the
precocity Of the season of 1903 or the
tardiness Of the season 1908.

The Word mSaIarv I"

The way languages are built up
is very interesting, and the deriva-
ton of the word SALARY" is CURIOUS
as we'll. IN ancient times Roman
soldiers received a daily portion of
salt as part of their pay. "Sal" is
the Latin for salt, and when the salt
was in course of time cammuted for
money the amount was called salari-
UNI or salt money, hence our word
SALARY" and hence, doubtless, the
expression mot worth his SALT
that is, not worth his salt money"
or salary.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24.-According
to reports made by Los Angeles mer-
chants, the American Hawaiian steam
ship line, which will deliver a ship
ment of a thousand tons of genral
merchandise from New York and Phi
ladelphia when the steamer hawaiian
arrives at San Pedro this week, is pro-
viding a competition by rail and water
that promises to solve many troubles
of transcontinental transportation,
and is regarded as significant indica-
tion of what may be expected when
the Panama canal is completed.
The rail and water service via the
Tehuantepec Railroad is now patron
lied by Los Angeles firms to the eX-
tent of 100 tons of a month, although
the first shipments were made but a
few months ago. In addition to the
advantage of lower rates, it is con-
tended that the time, varying from
nineteen to thirty days, compares fav-
orably with the all-rail route.

THE LOG-DOOK

A writer on nautical matters in the
Journal of Commerce, of Liverpool,
Eng, some time ago asked that gra-
mOphones of good calibre should be
supplied to ships engaged in deep
water trades, in order that the crews
should be thus enabled to hear a few
good songs and enjoy a dance in the
dog-watch when the ropes are coiled
up and decks swept down, or at such
times as may be convenient. Well,
men in shore employment have their
nights to do as they please with, and
there are many good entertainments
open to them, either provided by phi
lanthropic persons, or to which en-
trance is obtained by payment of
few cents They may attend secular
or religious feasts of reason and flow
of soul, at their own option, but the
sailorman, as a genrai rule, has nei-
Their. The forecastle Ananias soon
spins his yarns to a finish, many of
which have come down from the an
cient mariners and just embroidered
upon to suit the occasion, and even
the boss chanty man is not necessarily
singer, although his raucous notes
do very well either at the capstan, the
pumps, or at rope-hauling in general.
Hence the resting times of the sea-
man, in the pleasant weather of the
trade wind areas are not nearly so
profitably employed as they might be.
All work and no play, according to
| the old adage, makes shore Jack dull
/ boy, and this expression of the phi
losophy of the people applies even
more appropriately to seafaring Jack
with nothing in sight save sea and
sky.

be but little doubt that his candi-
dacy will meet with the heartiest
support Throughout. the entire dis
trict. Mr.. Fallon is well and favo.
