THE FERN HARVEST,
Carriers Are Now Busy In the Vicinity
Bennington, Vt.

Every day now until the snow flies
loads of ferns will be shipped from
the vicinity of Bennington, VT, to the
big cities where they will be placed
in cold storage until sold during the
coming winter to florists in New Eng
land and the central Atlantic states.
This business of fern gathering in
the mountain towns of Bennington
county has been established for sew
eral years. but every autumn finds
more contractors and more pickers en-
gagged in the harvest At first the
picking was done entirely by the ma
tive residents. but within the last two
years parties of Greeks have been
brought into the mountains by the
contractors and installed in camps to
do the work.
The most favored locality for the
business in that section is embraced
| in the Eastern and Western slopes of
the Taconic mountains extending
| through the towns of Remington
Woodford, Somerset and Stamford
me sides of the mountains were
cleared of the evergreen forest some
years ago, and the hardwood timber
that followed is accompanied by an
underground of ferns. The ferns COM
pletely cover the sides of the steep
Valleys and in the months of early fall
| they are i'm perfect condition for pick
| Ing
| There are numerous varieties of the
bright green plants. but the hardy
rock and the serrated ferns have
proved the most desirable because of
|
qualities. Pickers formerly received
~ cents thousand for the ferns. but
the price has been reduced to Is cents
during the past two years. Even at
this figure the families living in the
mountain sections are able to earn an
appreciable income, a fast picker will
gather as many as 10000 of the ferns
in day. The season comes at a time
when there is but little work TO be
| done on the upland farms.
AS fast as the ferns are picked tbev
are tied in lunches of rs, much of this
work being done in the evening with
every member of the family doing his
or her share. then packed in baskets
or crates for shipment.
| The ferns picked on the eastern
| slope of the mountain in Stamford
and Searsburg go to North Adams and
Hindsdale, n. II. The contractor is
usually the retailer. He stores tho
ferns in buildings constructed espec-
Tally for the purpose and delivers them
as ordered to the florists during sbe
winter
| experience has taught the flower
dealers that box of blossoms no
matter how choice the varieties NAV
be, frequently proves disappointing TO
customer for the reason that the
flowers in box by themselves annear
cold and artificial. 1t is to correct
tnls fauit that the ferns are used
Ihelr value for this purpose can on,v
oe appreciated after florist has
paced two boxes of winter flowers
one with and the other without tbs
background of light green.
While the difference between tho
price paid to the picker and that Maid

ways large. The maintenance of cold
storage plants is expensive and there

Assault and Raids on Midway.

Among the jewellers In the Midway
were several followers Of the fairs,
wtac had come here from Brockton
and 1t was. among these in. one of
their tents that trouble arose. which
ended by one Of the men receiving a
blow from which he was rendered I'M
conscious and remained so at late
hour tonight. while the man who
struck him Is still at large although
being sought for by the fair police.
The name Of the man who was hit
was John Dupres, who with his wife
has been doing singing act at va
riolis county fairs. AS nearly as car
be learned Dupres asked Edmund
Cormier Of Fairfield. another fair fol-
lower, the man for whom the officers
are looking, for the payment of a
loan. It Is alleged that Cormier then
drew his hand from his pocket and
hit Dupres a blow which felled him
to the ground. A deep cut beside
and beneath the right eye was found
upon Dupres when he was raised
from the ground. Cormier was at first
taken into custody by the officers but
allowed to go upon his personal rec
ognizance. Later after the man was
taken to DeMory's boarding house
on Gilman street, it was found that
his INJURIES were much more serious
than at first supposed and the severe
nature OF the cut gave rise to the
story that brass knuckles had been
used In the alleged assault, When
Dupres failed to regain conseiousness
after dinner warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of his companion upon
the charge Of assault with danger

entity lost himself in the crowd for at

unable to locate him.

from his lordship At the age of eight
the boy made his debut in public, when
he appeared at a banquet. His father
had just proposed the toast of The
King" which was drunk with accla-

shrill, but distinct childish voice: Il
ask you TO drink to the health of Queen

SHE RECOGNIZED THE VOICE
And From Remark Made. Also Knew
the Party Was Not En-
gagged in Prayer.

Confidential friends OF Louis p.
Shields are telling this story about
that eminent Republican. A state
convention at Columbus had just adj
journed and the Cuyahoga county
delegates were all back home when
somebody suggested a friendly game
of poker. The game was going along
right merri,y at three a. m.
At that hour an officious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence, which
happened to be almost next door.
This is long distance" said the
servant with no warrant of authority
whatever. I'VE are all here in Co
lumbus and cant get home until morn
ing"
That's all right" came back the
reply, but if that voice hear in the
apartment house next door saying
that's good isn't Mr. Shields then
can't recognize a voice when hear IT
at night"
And that is the end of the story, for
the voice saying that's good" was
indeed that of Mr.. Shields. and It was
so near home. so the narrator relates
that there was no use in offering a
denial.-Cleveland Leader.

RUSSIANS LIKE u. s.

of emigration which is flowing Amer
icaward cannot be stopped and he cal.
culates that it will soon consist of
half a million persons yearly from
Russia alone. AS he also calculates
that the British. German, Italian and
Austrian emigration to America will
shortly fall to insignificant figures, it
is probable that this great wave of
Slavonic immigration will be the last
great billow of the kind that will
strike the United Statse. 1t would be
interesting, therefore, to speculate on
the effect which this addition of Slav
blood will have on the ultimate Amer
lean type. 1t will probably make that
type more dreamy, philosophical and
artistic, and consequently improve it,
but Mr.. Nelidoff does not deal with
this aspect of the question.
He sticks to hard facts and these
show him that while the emigration
from Russia formerly consisted chief
ly of Jews, Films, Germans and Let's,
pure Russians now take the first place,

Delicate Seismographic instrument
Shows That Buildings Salute
Twice Each Day.

London-As a result of series of
experiments recently carried out by
Professor Milne, the pioneer of mod
ern seismology, it is now known that
twice each day at high tide the build
ings along opposite sides of tidal ba-
sins salute each other.
The experiments were carried out
at Bidston observatory, near Liverpool,
one and a half miles from the sea,
with a modified form of sesmograph
designed to record tidal effects and
the more minute movements which
other seismographs would not or not
often record. The instrument re-
corded photographically, tilt on the
pillar supporting it causing definite
detection on the film.
From the very first the instrument
gave very clear and definite records
of the strange effect Of the tides.
Twice a day the recording needle
swung in one direction. showing that
the steepness of the hillside on which
it rested was increasing.
At high tide the be dof the Irish sea
became depressed from an increased
load, and the effect Of this was to pull
the shores together. The amount of
this change was not very great, al
though much greater than might have
been expected. At Bidston the amount
of DETECTION was about equal to one
inch In sixteen miles.
In thing occurring a measurement nf
the DETECTION caused by the tide Pro
