It brings the Italy earthquake some
what nearer home to be hold that four
hundred New Englanders were in the vi
entity of the region affected. Their home
people will naturally be greatly dis
turbed for their safety, especially since
the largest tourist hotel in the city Of
1fessina is said to have been entirely
destroyed. Americans 20 to Italy to
view Vesuvius and Mt. Etna, but with
never fear for their own safety
when the earth trembles from some
mighty interior disturbance Therefore,
the catastrophe Of Monday adds to the
perils Of sightseeing in southern Italy
one feature which will detract very
largely from the pleasurethe fear of a
repetition Of the earthquake But the
more venturesome Of tourists will newt
ably be drawn to the region by their
desire for the novelty Of viewing the
ruins Of the once populous cities Of Mes
sina and Reggie.

The terrible crime in New York City
yesterday in which misguided fool be-
headed his mother because the end of the
world was most at hand and he was
ediyinely inspired" to do the deed, is
probably the result of the dire influence
OF Lge J. Spangler, the man who de-
clared that last Sunday was to mark
the end of the world Such a fomenter
OF dull minds as this man Spangler ought
TO be placed where his wierd influence
cannot be exerted.

An exchange says, FThe Vermont legis-
lature is on the point Of adjourning, and
it is coming in for severe criticism from
the press of the state" Which is rather
far.fetched; the press is not criticising
the Legislature because it contemplates
adjourning some time in January, but be-
cause it seems likely to adjourn without
having done anything very notable in
one of the longest sessions on record.
That's the reason for whatever dissatis-
faction that may be felt by the people
and expressed by the newspapers.

An example of the queer things that
an apparently rational person VIII
sometimes do was demonstrated on
Bridge street Sunday evening. On one
of the houses not far from the hose
house colony of hornets had estap-
lished themselves and had built nest
of conside rable proportions. So large
that one of the occupants of the house
did not like the idea of having them
there. and on Sunday evening ne decid-
ed to destroy the nest. He wanted TO
destroy it quickly SO as not to run any
risk of getting mixed up with lot or
hornets, and in order to accomplish
the desired results threw lot OF tur-
pentine on the nest and then set hre TO
it. The nest burned all right, IN fact
it burned so rapidly that the chances
were excellent for setting the house on
fire. At this junction small poy
shouted fire" and the men at the nose
house hooked up the horses and We're
lust starting out when someone ascef-
tanned that the trouble was over.

which are not suitable for ship
ping. Pineapple juice in bottles,
pineapple cordial, vinegar and
other products, need only to be-
come known to the world to com
mand fancy prices, and we have
the land to produce all the pine
apples that may be required for a
large factory.
Fourth, the production of honey
should attract the attention of
those who understand the manage
ment of bees. Small apiaries in
this neighborhood have already
demonstrated the feasibility and
the big profits Of the honey bust
ness, which requires but little CAPT
tai and still less labor. On the
East Coast and in Franklin county
in the west this is a big industry
and brings in wealth to those en-
gagged in it.
Fifth, the utilization of the
abandoned big ice plant for the
cold storage of beef is possibly
the biggest thing suggested by our
correspondent The largest cattle
owners in the State reside in this
county, and this is a scheme which
it seems they would readily take
hold of, as it means additional
wealth for them. Possibly there
are 100000 cattle within one to
two days drive of this great ice
plant. Here is a golden opportu-
nifty with the whole State waiting
to patronize those having the cap
ital and spirit to sieze upon and
develop it.
The foregoing are only few of
the neglected opportunities here;
there are many others to which att
tention will be called later.
