UNDERGROUND ULSTER.
PuxzIine Relics Of Ancient Ways of
Living In ireland.

Curious underground passages called
"souterrains" exist in maay parts of
Ulster. They are built or dug few
feet below the ground and laid out
with chambers and possible hiding
places or boiling holes, according to
more or less well defined plans. They
are not large enough for man to
stand upright m He would have to
crawl on his hands and knees to ex-
plore them or TO make use Of them in
any way.
Some districts are honeycombed with
them. What could they have been
used for? Not for living in. though
primitive pottery has been found in
them; not for the dead. though some
Etruscan burial places were not dis
similar, because no bones have been
found; possibly for refugees. Some OF
the souterrains are City to seventy feet
long.
Irish and local tradition attribute
them TO the fairies. the good people.

which are probably only chalk pits-or.
in rare instances, to the Picts, But the
Danes referred to by the Irish coun-

people who are said to have lived In
Ireland before the coming of the Celts.

BENNINGTON, VT, JUNE 4, 1913


The discussion over the tariff bill
lobby in Washington is the same as
that which arises in every state cap
ital in the country on smaller scale.
The real question is how far inter
ested parties have a right to go. 1t
is manifest, both at Washington, and
at the various state capitals
that people interested have a
right to make their wishes
and their beliefs known, but
have no right to use undue means
in influencing proposed legislation.
The difficulty is to know just where
to draw the line. No remedy has yet
been found and it is doubtful if an
effective one can be discovered that
will do justice in all cases.

HuInor and
Philosophy
b. DUNCAN m. SMITH
THE OUTWARD SHOW.

WE cannot but be bluffed by dress,
w Deny 1t as we may.
We size men up by what we see
And not by what they say.
Though wisdom drops in verbal pearls
From off beggar's chin,
We pass 1t for the jest of tops
Who sport a diamond pin.
The man whose coat and vest are cut
On George the Second style
Can get the ear of very few.
And those who listen smile.
Take his advice on anything
Or for his counsel bid?
Oh, no; he might have known the tricks
When Adam was kid
But how you cotton TO the man
Who wetxs the latest out!
His robes proclaim he knows. indeed,
Just what he is about.
You listen TO the honeyed gush
or this well tailored gent
And on his word buy mining stock
That never pays a cent.
You know that wisdom does not come
Through haberdasher's art.
And still In spite of that you fall
For one whose clothes are smart.
The bluff will catch the best of US.
The outward form we scan,
And to the wise. all knowing world
The clothes proclaim the man.

Times In Our Lives When Grim Death
Eyes Us Enviously.
There are certain ages wherein death
is very imminent, and of all these ages
the most perilous is the age of an hour
or two. Yes, it is just after birth that
we are in most danger of death. and
the next most perilous age to this is
seyenty-one yehrs.
The age of three is the next most
dangerous age. Almost one-fourth Of
all the babies born die during the third
year
From three on to the age Of forty!
i've life is comparatively safe, but for
ty-fve. especially for women, is try
ing time and many are carried off.
After passing forty-fve in safety
men and women may reasonably hopa
TO reach seyenty-one. Here again they
are in great danger-the greatest save
for the first few hours after birth.
Longevity is hereditary quality. ut
passes from father to son and from
mother TO daughter. He who had an
Octogenarian father may hope to be-
come an octogenarian himself, and she
who had an octOgenarian mother may
hope to become an octogeparian her
self. But fathers longevity does not
pass down TO daughter, nor does a
mothers pass down to son.-New

IlIeaihle Writers.

The illegible letter upsets the saint

breeding to make chaotic messes of

the spirit of mortal ever be proud OF
such tortured and twisted penmanship?

WOLF HUNTS IN LAPLAND.
Reindeer Must Be Protected as They
Are the Nations Wealth.

ARC IUc NdhiOHS
The Swedish Lapps are said to live
entirely with. by and upon their rein
deer. A Lapp who owns thousand
deer is a rich man, but as taxes are as
sessed upon the number of deer he is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy of the
herd is the wolf. which can kill any
deer. A band of wolves can make
rich Lapp poor
When the snow Is deep and soft and
1t Is announced that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
deer the swiftest runners on snowshoes
prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have start of mile
or two. but the track it leaves in the
deep, soft snow is so conspicuous that
the hunters can follow it at their best
speed. The wolf though he may run
swiftly, has but a slight chance of es-

A Crank In the csmmons.

Mr.. Farmer Atkinson was a curious
psychological study. An astute man
of business, he was founder and first
president of the chamber of shipping
of the United Kingdom. But in the
house he proved a veritable "crank."
One OF his habits was to stalk In
ghostly fashion from behind the chair,
suddenly to utter some unexpected and
irrelevant remark In stage whisper
into Speaker PeePs ear and then van
ish. Poor Mr.. Peel stood it patiently
for awhile. At last however. it got
on his nerves. Old parliamentary
hands remember the sensation that
was caused one night when the speak
er was obliged to appeal to the house
for protection" against these persist
ent annoyances. Soon afterward Mr.,
Farmer-Atkinson withdrew from pub
lie life on grounds Of Ill health and
Westminster saw him no more.-Lon-

TRINlDAD's ASPHALT LAKE.

the asphalt droops disconsolately. A
few tufts of grass have secured a
footing in places. But for the rest it
is a solid mass of black, dull, evil
smelling pitch, with pools Of water
here and there, in which swim little
parboiled fishes. Against any Of the
hot spots in the world. bar none, this
can be backed.
"A wicked looking blacksnake six
feet long glides into the bushes near
the margin of the lake. 1t has been

what the negroes hewing with mat

enormous quantities that have been

oratory and Athletics

A Bennington young man has won
a substantial prize at Colgate Uni
versity for oratory. The youth is to
be envied by other college students,
In these days when so much empha-
sis in college work is laid upon ath-
letics it is positively refreshing that
attention is called to one who excels
in debate or the graceful art OF pub
lie speech. The probabilities are
that nine parents out of ten would be

Because of demand in the north

company in that part of Vermont
are to be investigated. The investi-
cation ought to be extended to cover

employees and representative are
keen and active in its interest and
sometimes get and take more than
they are entitled to while the public
and especially the individual has a
hard row to hoe in getting exact JUS
tice. In this town the telephone
company has taken more than it had
a right to in the streets of the viii
lage and is taking little more all
the time. 1t is high time that the
village shut down on 1t. No more
privileges of any kind should be
granted the telephone company until
it removes that unsightly row of
poles from North street nor until it
uses the public a little more fairly
in other sections of the village. The
telephone company is big and
rich corporation and can well afford
to put more of its wires under
ground especially in the thickly set
tied portions of the village.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
Thefk is only one way 10 cure deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining OF the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when u Is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored 20 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
