A reduction of $25,O00,000 in the
national fire waste for the year marks
a tendency which ought to continue.
asserts the Hartford Times. Although
the shrinkage for the twelvemonth is
encouraging the total is still indefen-
sibly large. A daily average destruc-
ton by flames of $55S,000 worth OF
property in the United States and
Canada is an excessive tribute to care
lessness, recklessness and inadequate
protection. The size of the fire waste
is still an offense against reason and
is inexcusable.

Should wool, cotton or linen be
worn next to the skin? Wool has its
devotees, who would look on discard
ing their merino or flannel vest or
drawers as a risk of life. Medical
opinion, AYERS Leslie's, has radically
changed in recent years, and now
many, if not most, doctors favor cot
ton or linen next the skin. Wool abb
serbs perspiration and retains it; it
absorbs it with difficulty at first, but
surrenders it to the surrounding air
with even greater difficulty. Cotton,
ON the other hand, asks only an OPP
portunity to dry, which 1t does as rap
idly as possible. The best plan in
cold weather is to wear cotton or lin
en- next the skin, with wool outer
clothing. The wool excludes moist
ure and cold, while the cotton absorbs
the perspiration quickly, and dries
even more quickly. This it does with
out chilling the body if the latter has
an outer covering of wool. In this
climate, where houses and Offices are
generally overheated in winter, and
the transition from indoors to out
doors is attended by far greater
change in temperature than in milder
climates, where the houses are not
kept as hot as they are in'America, it
is better to wear cotton or linen un-
dercIothes, and to rely upon heavy
outer garments to resist the cold air.

Ont OF Doors.

Live out of doors as much as pos

follow and the time she gives to her

take little trips out of the city, If ii
be only for the day, or use trolley

into whirl Of excitement by man

1 For three hours, villagers along the
Connecticut river below Hanover were
frightened by a supposed wild man, who
with frenzied gesticulations and excla-
nations chased women and children.
Shortly before 2 o'clock, a farmers
wife, Mrs. Josiah Brown, noticed the
man walking along the river bank,
throwing his arms about him in man
ner which at once attracted her atten-
ton.
Thinking that the man was about to
commit suicide, she ran to prevent him,
but as she approached he greeted her
with glare which she Immediately be-
lieyed To be that of a wild man. His
hair was disheveled and his eyes emitted
fire.
Becoming alarmed, Mrs, Brown ran
back and locked her house, and taking
her two. year-old child ran to the nearest
neighbor, Mrs. jeremiah Jenkins, quar-
ter Of a mile away
The news spread like wild fire and in
half an hour every house along the river
was locked up and the children taken to
safety. Meanwhile the voice of the man
could be heard for half mile along the
river bank
Chief OF Police Gauthier of Hanover,
notified by telephone, at once organized
an armed posse and started In pursuit.
After q halt hours search, the man was
located by his cries. Chief Gauthier sta
toned his men at strategic points, and
approaching from behind, bore the crazed
one to earth.
With outraged mien, he confronted his
assailants and demanded to be released.

Burlington's rather expensive expert
ment in a municipal electric light plant
may prove somewhat of a deterrent to
other similar enterprises, but the fact
remains that the agitation is growing
for establishment of plants under mu-
nicipal direction. Brattleboro is consid-
ering the proposition to a certain extent,
although there the sentiment is lessened
BY the action Of the established private
plant in reducing rates to more nearly
the average charges. But if the expert
ment is to be of any success, it must
have suitable conditions; that is, the
municipal plant must be, in a position
to compete on even terms with the es-
tablished plant. Burlington went on the
principle Of trying to compete with a
plant which had the advantage Of water
power, while the municipal plant had
none, with unsuccessful results. Muniel.

Pres. Buckham's work.

Rarely does the Characterization. "a

rcer as it does to that Of the late Pres
ident Buckham OF the university of
Vermont. OF his seyenty-eight years,
fifty eight were passed at the university
as student, tutor, professor and pres.
ident, The only interruption of the long
association with the university was his
brief service as principal Of the Lenox.
Mass, academy. In the thirty-nine
years of his presidency the university
made great progress. 1t has a faculty
Of 90, q student body Of nearly 600,
and library of $4,000 volumes. It's
expansion has been largely due to the
growth OF its professional schools, and
the Incorporation Of the agricultural coll
lege. Its medical school, despite its elm
ical limitations, attracts many students.
It's data is not impressive In comparison
with those Of the great universities, but
it must be remembered that Vermont
is email state in population, with no
large city. The three institutions of
higher learning in Vermont, the univer-
sty, Middlebury and Norwich, had at

No great good could come Of pulling
up tradition by the roots, as would
be done in changing the name OF Cancels
Hump to Ethan Allen mountain, as pro-
posed by some in connection with the
proposed gift Of the summit Of the old
mountain to the state. Besides, history
does not say that Ethan Allen had any
direct association with the mountain
which it is now proposed to name after
him, and, therefore, there is nothing par
ticularly appropriate about naming the
peak after him. The name is already
attached to various parks, forts, etc,
throughout the state, and it cannot be
said that the name Of Ethan Allen is
not being perpetuated. What reason,
then, for making old Cancels Hump an
swer to the name Of Allen?

TREATMENT OF SUMMER VISITORS
IN VERMONT.

IN V VERMONT.
Some rather disagreeable facts are
stated by the Newport Express and
Standard about the treatment OF sum
mer people in the vicinity Of Lake Mem
phremagog and Of wealthy persons who
would purchase property there under
conditions that might be considered at
all favorable. The contemporary says
that the entire lake front is being posted
with Private property" and keep Off"
signs, which forbid the summer visitor
to do more than cruise about the pretty
lake, and even the landing at one Of the
fayorite picnic grounds is closed for the
ordinary public. "The whole thing is
becoming curse" declares the Newport
paper. More than that, a great many
people who are attracted to the lake
and who could get along in spite Of the
no-trespassing signs are not satisfied to
stay, because the accommodations are
not what they are accustomed to have
in summer resorts; even the hotel keep
ers themselves admit it, says the con-
temporary. In the third place, property
owners proceed to get strangla-hold
on the wealthy yacationists, once they
show desire to purchase land for locat-
ing. II is said that land values jump
tremendously just as soon as the in.
formation leaks out that the prospective
purchaser is person of considerable
means and many really desirable par
ties are driven away through the grasp
ing tendencies of the natives. Other
reasons for complaint are noted BY the
contemporary but the aforementioned
are the most powerful in keeping down
the summer-visitor business in the yicin-
ity OF Lake Memphremagog.
