famous fresco in the CampaniIe,
painted in 1855; another, still the
same, in Hogarth's idle Appren-
tice," painted just four hundred
years later. Many tribes and ma
lions have hand-looms resembling
our own; but these are exactly like
it. Hundreds of thousands of men
and women of the generations of
these seven centuries since Giotto's
day have woven on just such looms
as our grandparents had in their
homes"
The loom in the Museum was
made by Alpheus Goss about 1900.
He was a relative of David Goss who
set up his log house in Goss Hollow
in 1871. Alpheus built a log house
about the same time. on the road
between the Center and Paddock
Village. About 1900, he replaced
this with a one-story frame house
which was occupied by his son, Ma
thaniel Goss and is now the home
of his granddaughter, Angelina Goss
Fuller.
This loom is made of hard wood,
though many of that period were
fashioned of soft pine It's excellent
condition shows that though it was
used until recent years, it was care
fully handled and escaped being
carried from house to house as were
some looms. The warping bars,
skarne, loom spools and swifts, also
presented by Mrs. Fuller, were not
so carefully made and have had
much harder usage.
A rag carpet is in process of be-
ing woven on this loom. 1t was set
up by Mrs. Helen Stockwell of Con-
cord, who is one of the few persons
in this vicinity still able to do this
interesting form of handcraft.
Owing to favorable conditions, the
flower tables are very interesting at
present. During the past week the
blossom of the cat-tail and stag
horn sumac have been displayed,
these being rarely noticed until the
ripening of the fruit.
The new flowers shown on the
flower tables during the past week
are as follows: False climbing
buckwheat, July 8; wild yellow lily,
American wild mint, fruit of smooth
sweet cicely, bitter dock, July 9; pig
weed, red raspberry, shinleaf, stag
horn sumac, messy stonecrop, tear
thumb, Canada thistle, northern
willow-herb, rough bedstraw, cat
tail, sweet elder, white melilot,

arbor vitae or white cedar, and

LETTER FROM MIR. sEARLEs

States His Position Regarding the
Fifteen Miles Power Project.
July Is, 1912.
To the Editor of the CALIFORNIAN:
Since the announcement last week
of my candidacy for town represent
alive, l have been frequently inter-
rogated as to what my position would
be as to 1.-THE Fifteen Mile Falls
Power Company" the corporation
chartered by the general assembly
during the session of 1910, for the
manufacture and sale of electric
curernt at or near that part of the
Connecticut River known as the
Fifteen Mile Falls, and in order that
there may be no misunderstanding
about my position with reference to
this or any other matter, / desire to
publicly state that l am a strong
believer in the speedy development
of our natural resources; that l be-
lieve The Fifteen Mile Falls Power
Company, as chartered, is destined
to greatly enhance the commercial
and manufacturing possibilities of
this state, and if the people of st.
Johnsbury see fit to elect me as their
ref resentative, 7 hereby pledge to
them my most earnest efforts to pro-
cure such legislation as will enable
this Company to commence, carry on
and complete this great undertaking
at as early a time as is possible for
one of It's magnitude. If elected,
also pledge myself to do all in my
power to promote The planks of the
republican state platform into laws,
rather than to permit them to Lone
somely dry rot and crumble away.
And finally, if elected, pledge my
self as the servant of my constitu-
entS.
Believing that the people have a
right to know how one who propos-
es himself for public servant stands
as to the above matters, so set forth
that he may be COMPOUNDED by them
IL he does not keep faith, | respect
fully request that you allow this let
ter to be printed in full in the
columns of your paper.
Thanking you, l am,
Yours truly,
J. ROLF SEARLES.

MUSEUM NOTES
A Loom of Local Historical Interest
Added to the Exhibit.

/
In view of the interest in colonial
| history aroused by the preparations
for the Pageant, readers of the Gale
DOMAIN may care to know more of re-
cent accessions to the historical col
lection of the Museum.
Within the past year, several addi-
tions have been made to this depart
ment, all the articles being secured
from the town of ST. Johnsbury and
all being valuable on account of their
history as well as for their intrinsic
worth
One of the finest exhibits in the
Colonial room is the loom, gift of
Mrs. E. M. Fuller of st. Johnsbury
Center. The following description
from Alice Morse Earle's Home
Life in Colonial Days" well describes
the important place a loom held in
the economy of the Colonial life.
"Any one who passed through a
New England village on a week day
century ago, or rode up to the
door of a Pennsylvania or Virginia
house, would probably be greeted
with a heavy thwack-thwack, from
within doors, a regular sound which
would readily be recognized by every
one at that time as proceeding from
weaving on a QdQQ-lOOuI. l. Sy were
also found in every house of any
considerable size, and in many also
where they seemed to fill half the
building. Many households had a
loom room, usually in an ell part
of the house; others used an attic
or a shed-loft as a weaving room.
Every farmers daughter knew how
to weave as well as to spin, vet it
was not recognized as wholly wom-
ans work as was spinning, for there
was a trade of hand-weaving for
men, to which they were appren-
ticed and every town had profess
sional weavers. They were a uni
versally respected class and became
the ancestors of many of the wealth
lest and most influential citizens to-
day. The hand-loom used in the
colonies, and occasionally still run
in country towns today, is an his
toric machine, one of great antiquity
and dignity. 1t is, perhaps, the
most absolute bequest of past cen
turtles which we have had, unchang-
ed, in domestic use till the present
time. You may see a loom (lfke
the one in the Museum) in Giotto's
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-07-17

ANTI-FLY CAMPAIGN.
Remedies for determination of Fly
Suggested by Committee.

Suggested by Committee.
The ely Campaign" is moving
steadily forward and with good re-
suits. The "Home Economics COM
mittee have distributed 1900 ely
'atechisms" calling TIE attention of
the people to the danger of flies in
home Nearly every store Keeper, no.
tel and restaurant keeper, fruit deal
er and milk man have been personal
~ visited. Not one has refused to
sign the pledge shown them, which
calls for careful screening and fly
fighting around their domains. This
list will be completed and published
next week.
In response to earnest inquiries
regarding ways to destroy flies, we
copy from reports sent out by 'The
American Civic Association"
"A cheap, and reliable fly poison,
which is not dangerous to human life
is bichromate of potash in solution.
Dissolve one dram, (Which may be
bought at any drug store), in two
ounces of water, add a little sugar
and place about the house in shallow
dishes"
"To clear the rooms Of flies, use
carbolic acid, heating a shovel, and
pouring on it 20 drops of the poison
The vapor will kill the flies; or burn
pyrethrum powder in the room. It
Supplies the flies. when they can be
swept up and burned The powder
should be moistened and made into
cones and after drying, each cone
should be placed on a plate, and
lighted at the top. It will burn slow
ly and the odor IS not disagreeable.
For a Barn or Livery Stable.
The manure should be kept in a
closed bin or pit. Every time the
stalls are cleaned and the manure
placed IN this pit, sprinkle it with
powdered gypsum or slaked lime. 1t
flies begin to breed in stored manure
they may be killed by thoroughly
spraying it with kerosene oil or Paris
Green and then pouring on enough |
water to wash the oil or Poison well
in. The objection TO using kerosene |
is that it ruins the manure for ferti-
lizing purposes.
A solution of Iron Sulphate, Zone
pound to a gallon) applied at the
rate of one gallon day in stable
where one horse is kept will kill all
the maggots. It costs about S1.00 per
100 lbs, so that the cost of keeping
flies from breeding in a one horse
stable is about one cent day.
