Brattleboro where the farmers say they
have sold practically no hay since the
last crop was harvested. The 1907 crop
was heavy in Windham county and

for Il good trout season is regarded as
exceptional. Fishing may begin leg

IA days later. There is some snow yet
at the head of the rivers but the warm
weather will soon put them in condi-

freshets, the size and quality of the
trout is expected to be good as the
brooks were full of half grown fish last
season.

New Orleans. April 2S.---With about
s25 newly made graves distributed

10 say positively that the death list In

the fatalities are possibly score Of the

In hospitals throughout these states,
The remaining injured, numbering
about 1000, are reported TO be on the

The gravity OF the situation centres
In the problem OF the living, namely,
hunger and shelter. At least one
stricken town is reported to have eaten
literally It's last meal and IL is relying on
charity for its supper.
Fortunately, the great territory over
which the stricken districts are scat
tered has left an opportunity for the
unframed neighbors everywhere In
these centres of want TO furnish relief
more quickly and effectively than would
have been possible had the disaster
been confined TO one place.
Cities, little and big, on all sides OF
the tornado belt have made rapid prep
arations to ship supplies and money
into the tornado district. New Orleans
has started a money subscription and
also shipped food to Amite, the worst
damaged town In Louisiana.

The Red spider.

In dealing with that troublesome lii
tie pest, the red spider, really sue
cessful remedy is found in some of the
liquid tobacco or nicotine extracts,
now fairly numerous on the market.
They may be used either by vaporiza-
tion overhead directly with steam
pressure, or by spraying cold dilutlons
In water. They are rather costly and
must be handled with care, as they
are particularly deadly internal poison
to humans as well as animals, but are
effective when used according to direc-
tions and little harmful to even the
most delicate plants, states Rural New
Yorker. This remedy is of course eff
fective on less resistant insects, such
as aphids, thrips and scales. 1t does
not promise much as regards white fly
or outdoor scales, but we have good
remedies for these pests in hydrocyanic
gas and soluble oils

Hawks and Poultry.

A writer in the Scientific American
declares that he effectually put an end
to the depreciation of hawks in his
poultry yard by fastening an old scythe,
ground to razor edge, with the sharp
end down, on high pole set in the
edge of a field near his yards. The
hawks, as is their habit, lit on the
scythe, grasping 1t with their claws,
with the result that their feet were
badly cut. This angered them and they
attacked the, scythe, literally tooth and
toenail, and of course got the worst Of
It, Every hawk that came along met
with a like reception, and within a
short time they were either killed or
driven away.

SLAVES IN MASSACHUSETTS.

EARLY Church Discussion on Slavery
--DandiAed Negro Waiter.
The colored NANNY" devoted, 10y
al and autocratic, one thinks of as be-
longing to the South and the days be-
fore the war, but In the far-away time
of slavery in New England she was
known there also, says the Youths
Companion.
One such nanny, happy and below
ed, but despotic, was Violet, the slave
Of the Rev. Moses Parsons of Byf1eld,
but the real ruler of the household and
his lively brood of boys. Her husband,
Primus, belonged to their nelghbor,
Deacon Noyes.
The revolution was scarcely over, but
even then in that quiet corner of Mas
sachusetts the anti-slavery spirit was
stirring and it's first result was to pre-
cipitate violent church quarrel. Dea-
con Colman had scruples against slav-
cry and he expressed them with vigor
and not always with entire respect for
his slave-owning pastor. He was sus-
pended; there were meetings, discus
sions, appeals and denunclations and
only at the death of Mr.. Parsons was
he so far softened as to admit, while
Iyet maintaining his principles, that he
had urged them with undue vehe-
mence and asperity." He was then re-
stored to the church and his office of
deacon.
In the neighboring town of Newbury-
port were number of slaves and freed
slaves, concerning some Of whom anec-
dotes have been handed down to the
lpresent day. One negro man, hoeing
barefoot in the fields, struck suddenly
with his hoe at what he took to be a
large toad In impertinently close COM
lpany with him. 1t was his own naked
big toe, as he learned painfully when
he had neatly sliced the top off with
the blow.
Another colored man of much higher
station and more complete and elegant
attire was a dandy waiter employed in
the old Wolfe tavern. Noting an es-
peclally fine pair of boots owned by
one Of the patrons, local magnate
Ebenezer Moseley, he went to the shoe.
