REvERIEs.

Before an audience hat filed the
Chapel of the First Presbyterian church
last night the "Reveries of a Bache-
lori was given in excellent manner un-
der the auspices Of the choir of the
church. The part Of the bachelor was
well taken by Edgar Mullen. Recfin-
ing in a large arm chair he pictured
to himself the girls he used to have.
AS the pictures occupied his mind hv-
ing portraits representing the visions
were shown on the stage. The effect
was novel and well appreciated by the
audience. Fred BRIGGS rendered a vo-
cal solo, and Miss Susie Dixon enter
tanned with a piano selection. Miss
Aldrich, of Brooklyn, recited in a very
charming manner Ice cream and other
refreshments were enjoyed after the
performance.

with the house-dy(N 49cu domeSicu. Linn.).

" bv The United States Department of Agri-
culture entitled House Flies, by.L O How
and. Chief of the Bureau of Entomology,
owes an excellent account OF the houso-1y,
II d describes several other similar insects
winch are often found in houses.
The house-Hy breeds in manure and de-
cayino organic matter, whore the eggs are
deDos I Il and the Iarval and pupal stages
are passed. The adult insect often flies d.
rectiv from its filthy b|reelin5 place INTO
houses. where it settle, ON or in food mate
rial- Other flies which occur in houses
have similar habits, breeding in the same or
similar situations, and are also carriers of
filth
Vhe oreotest imDortonce attaches to the
house-dy on account of its ability to carry
disease germs. The ngme typhoid fly has
been given to this insect, and is now COM
monty in use in the United States, IN order
that the people generally may constantly be
reminded of the dangerous character Of this
familiar insect.
According to DR.. Howard, flies are not
only d factor in the distribution Of typhoid
md other intestinal diseases, such as Asiatic
cholera, dysentery an infantilo diarrh0ea,
but thew are believed to aid In the dissent
nation of tuberculosis. anthrax, yaws, oph-

MAKING RAIN WITH ROCKETS
Experiments Tried With Considerable
Success on a Coffee Plantation In
Southern India.

Experiments made to ascertain
whether the discharge of explosives
during cloudy weather produces rain
fall are described in letter from
James Stanes.
Some years ago" he says. ian ex-
pertinent was tried in the Cuddapah
district Of southern India with con-
siderable success. I am part owner
OF an estate in the Seramully hills,
which is situated in a particularly
dry zone. For several seasons poor
coffee crops withered away from lack
of rain during July and August.
When | was visiting the estate in
July, 1905, / noticed that heavy clouds
gathered every afternoon and
thought that II we had been in a
position to fire explosive rockets from
the highest peak of the hills, about
$500 feet, a shower Of rain might
have been produced.
Il therefore arranged to have a
supply Of rockets kept on the estate
and fired off every afternoon at the
rate of one rocket every five minutes,
but only when the condition Of the
atmosphere was such that heavy rain
threatened on all sides.
Whether rain has fallen in re-
Spouse to these explosives or not the
fact remains that ever since we first
tried the experiment we have been
fortunate enough to catch sufficient
moisture to enable the crops to sur
vive the drought"
Firing into the clouds with the OBJ
ject of causing rain was practiced for
several years in southern Germany,
Switzerland and France, but seems to
have been abandoned some time ago.
The idea was to protect the vineyards
and other civilizations from damage
by nailstones, it being thought that
by the discharge of large guns rain
would fall and that the danger from
hailstorms would be averted.-London

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The reciprocal trade arrangement be-
tween the United States and Canada is
now an important subject of discussion
in Washington. The traffic of the two
countries, to and fro, totals today $3i5-
100000. From 1854 to 1866 the provinces
of Quebec and Ontario had free inter-
change of products with this country,
but these relations came to an end in
1867, when the various British provinces
were united under the name of the Do
minion of Canada The principal purpose
of the negotiations on the part of the
United states seems to have been to OBJ
tain a reduction of the high cost of liv-
ing by greatly enlarging the free list
so far as it relates to foodstuffs.
The United States has agreed to re-
move the tariff entirely from 764 per
cent of the dutiable articles entering this
country from Canada and to reduce the
schedules on 1t4 more, or, in other
words, the duties are to be removed or
reduced on 81 per cent of the dutiable
goods coming from the north. Canada
has agreed to remove the duties on 1876
per cent of the dutiable goods bought in
this country and to lower the tariff on
an additional 1875, making sc per cent
of dutiable goods to be admitted by
Canada either duty free or at lower
rates than at present, as against 81 per
cent on the part of the United States
Canada, however, has been buying 80
worth of goods from us for every 81
worth sold to us. While the percentage
of articles affected by the treaty appears
disproportlonate the total value of ar
ticles involved is nearly equal for each
nation. In the case of goods imported
from Canada the amount affected will
be 1883, 900 as against $47,S 900 of goods
sent into Canada.
Turning to the actual amount of du-
ties remitted by each country, the
United States again appears to be the
greater loser. The duties to he re-
mtted by this country in carrying out
the treaty are $iS5OOOO, against $3.50. -
OOO for Canada The contrast, however
is less striking when it is recalled that
under existing tariffs the United States
has an average tariff wall of 40 per cent
against Canada, while Canada has erected
barrier of only trine over 90 per cent
The treaty if carried into effect will re-
quire some readiustments in trade con-
ditions Gloucester, Mass. is up in arms,
claiming its fish industry will be ruined.
Vermont farmers will undoubtedly find
some competition from dairy products
imported from Eastern Canada. Large
importations of hay will probably be
made to the New England markets.

SUIT FOR BACK TAXES.
Town Seeks to Recover $15, 900 from over.
all company-lnventores from 1904 to
1910 Alleged to Have Been Fraudulent.

a suit to recover back taxes in the sum
of $4,000 was brought by the town OF
Brattleboro yesterday against the Hook
er, Corser & Mitchell company and the
writ and declaration were served upon
the clerk of the corporation, w. G.
Mitchell, by Deputy Sheriff C. /. Knapp.
only a nominal attachment was made,
the town having no fear but that suf-
ficient property would be available to sat
isfy judgment of the court in the event
of the suit resulting favorably to the
plaintiff. The attorneys are Town Agent
a. p. Carpenter and II. G. and f. E. Bar
ber, the papers being drawn by II. G..
Barber.
The suit is a result of disclosures made
by w. II. Proctor in a suit brought by
him against j. F. Hooker, w. II. Corser
and c. ID. Whitaker, his partners who
undertook to deprive him of a voice in
the management of the affairs of the
company as it stood then, and as a re-
suit of facts which have come out in
another suit brought by Mr.. Proctor
against his former partners, who are now
proprietors of the Mohawk overall COM
pany of Schenectady in which II. G. &c
F. E. Barber are counsel for the de-
PENDANTS. 1t is stated by the attorneys,
however that this suit is not retaliatory
in any way and that they were consulted
by the selectmen in regard to bringing
such action long before Mr.. Proctor's
summoned to appear in county court in
Newfane at the next term.
The first of the seven counts alleges
that on April l, 1904, the company owned,
In connection with its overall business,
a large amount of cloth, thread, buttons,
garments, machinery, patterns, cash
notes and bills receivable, etc, to the
value of 100000 in excess of all exemp-
tions allowed by law; that it was the
duty of the company to give the listers
a correct list of such property for the
purpose of taxation; that the defendant,
intending to injure and defraud the plain
tiff, returned to the town a false list, the
inventory containing only a small part
of its taxable property, to wit, $4,000 1t
sets up that the listers had a right to
rely, and did rely, upon the list as return
ed and that the defendant knew that
the list was fraudulent. The town was
cheated out of $4,000, the plaintiff alleges,
by such false list that year
The six other counts are Identical with
the first, except that the years are
changed up to 1910, and there is a slight
variation in the amount of taxable prop
erty
