The Importance of the Porch.

In Suburban Life Magazine for Oeto,
Der, Agnes Athol has a helpful article
on What Our Friends Have Warned Is
About Building" In which she tells som,
Of the things TO do and some not to do,
On the subject Of old porches, she says
"Porehes are in so many instance,
wrongly placed by the well-meaning am
ateur. Privately entered porehes, not
accessible from the street, and cOnse-
auently not receiving their modicum Of
dirt and mud, are in every case TO be
preferred. The actual entrance to the
house need not be over the porch at all
I have seen some charming doorwsys,
sheltered only BY little slanting scrap
Of roof, or framed in the dignified pill
Jared style Of the colonial architecture.
Western porehes are, g. a rule, sunny
in the afternoon, Just the time one could
be most free 10 enjoy them. East, south
east or south j. the best exposure. We
use our porches chiefly in the summer
time. AMI ought 10 think Of them as
summer r0oms.7

PoRcUPINE VS.. HEDGEHOG.
Are as Different as Cow Moose from Sal
walton Army Lassie.

Editor: have read with interest tn,
statement in the legislative news that
the bounty on "hedgehogs" is to be
killed. have nothing to say concerning
the wisdom or folly of the action: let
the solons pound that out according to
the wisdom that is theirs.
But while they are doing that
wouldn't it be good thing to look up
their natural histories bitY They will
find, | think, that there are no hedge
hogs in this country, unless there arc
some in confinement. The animal they
are talking about and legislating about
is porcupine: an animal with practi.
cally no likeness TO a hedgehog. Let
that matter be settled; and if the law
makers do no more than learn the cor
rect name Of much abused creature
they will have done more than they
do.
The porcupine is no more like the
hedgehog than n COW moose is like a
Salvation Army lassie.
Yours truly,
Height of Land.

Late Invoking of Vermont Craftsmanship.

President Taft's father, the late Judge
Alphonzo Taft of Ohio, is said to be
remembered by persons still living in
Townshend. However that may be, there
is little evidence that any of his chill
dren have made very much of their Yer
mont extraction before this year.
William H. Taft went through the
campaign of l90s for election to- the
presidency with no more than most
formal reference to Vermont as the pio-
neer ground of his family. OF course
Vermont was not a doubtful state in
1908. With only four electoral votes,
she does not count for much, anyway.
Still, the clannish spirit of Vermont may
be worth invoking for the sake of that
few votes, this year.
There is no doubt but that Vermont
has always taken due pride in whatever
claim she may have upon President Taft
as man of Vermont forebears. If that
pride has been largely unreeiprocated I'M
til now, she may as well rejoice in its
present recognition, even if the bull
moose" has been factor in bringing il
about.
While Vermont may feel that Presi.
dent Taft has missed some rare oppor- !
tunities to fraternize as Vermont |
ciansman when he could not have been
suspected Of needing the response of
Vermont clansmen, nothing on that ae-
count is worth laying up against him.
Of course ne should have come home as
4 Vermonter before, but it is something
30 much more than usual to have Yer
mont recognized as of presidential ac-
count much NAV be forgiven.
President Taft is the only candidate
Tor the presidency with any Vermont
,ssets of Craftsmanship. Remote as he
5 from the common people. he is nearer
he Vermont sort than Dutch ROose
Telt or a temperamentally southern viii

SADDLE MAKING IN MEXICO.
Entire Families often Take Part In
the Home Industry.

The making of saddles, while in the
aggregate an important local Mexican
industry. is purely home affair. the
artisans for the most part working in
dependently in their own homes and
often pressing the entire family into
service. The manager of the largest
wholesale and retail dealers In saddles
In Mexico City says that all the saddles
which they handle are made locally al
home by hand, and he estimates that
more than 100 families in the city are
similarly employed.
Many of these handmade saddles are
handsomely carved and most creditable
In appearance. although the leather as
a rule is far inferior TO that used in
American saddles II is the practice Of
retailers TO furnish the trees. leather
and fittings OF all kinds TO the work
men and pay them for their actual la
Dor. The labor is the cheapest item
entering into saddle construction, many
entire families being satisfied with a
wage Of so cents TO 81 American cur
rency per day.
The saddletrecs used for the better 1
grade OF saddle are imported from the /
state OF Colima. the cheaper grade OF .
saddles using a tree Of local make No /
American saddles or saddletrees are
carried in stock by local merchants.

cording 10 the specifications Of the In

ROLLING THUNDER.
Why the Rumble at Times Is So Long
Drawn Out.

Why the Rumble at INES " % LOHS
Drawn Out.
The prolonged roll of thunder is
readily explained by comparison with
a volley fired along a line of troops.
Suppose troops to be drawn up on
line In such numbers as TO extend for
mile and ordered by signal that
all could see to fire at once. one
standing at the end of the line would
hear the report of the musket nearest
him instantly He would hear the
others successfully. Thus a report $50
feet away would come to him in half
a second. and he would not hear the
last report for FIVE or six seconds after
the gun had been fired. This would
produce sort of roll, which would
gradually increase in intensity.
II the listener stood exactly midway
between the two ends Of the line the
reports from both ends would reach
him at once, and the sound would be
but half as long in reaching him as IL
he stood at one extremity. If the sol
diers formed a circle there would be
one sharp explosion.
Flashes of lightning may be consid-
cred as representing three lines Of
troops along which the explosions oc-
cur at the same time. Consider the
variety of distance and position of the
listener and we account for the va
riety of sound In thunder. In noun
regions the rolling Is augment
ed by reverbera tons or echoes.

II cannot be expected all these recon-
mendations will be carried out but they
show that Gov. Mead has closely studied
the conditions in the state and has ey.
erciscd his long and successful business
experience in suggesting remedies, The
law he recommends for the conduct OF
political campaigns would have forever
barred him from the govcrnorship but
he has served well in the position and
every one will wish him happiness and
in his return to the life of a
private citizenship.--St. Johnsbury Cul.

The Floods

The floods have made another record

the terrors that might result from the
sweeping away OF their homes and the
destruction oil property. Many Of the
citizens south OF Hickman are driven
from home by the floods, and many
have been cared for by the generosity OF
their more fortunate neighbors. The
city leyee broke the first Of the week,
but the Government leyee still remains

source was made and every man possible
was detailed for duty. The water was
