Offering their charters at the rate of

took on the American ship at the rate
of six pounds per ton of forty cubic
feet! The "Oriental' hoisted her an
chor on August %, in the teeth of a
strong southwest monsoon. She
beat down the China Sea, rounded
the Cape of Good Hope, and in just
rinety-seven days from her departure
she was lying at the West India docks,
at London, making a record for voy-
age under sail that has scarcely been
surpassed since. She landed 1000
tons of tea in England, the freight
on which, from Hong-Kong, was the
tidy little sum of $48,000. Not bad
for a three months trip. And her
first cost, ready for sea, was S70,000
Even more romantic is the story of
the Surprise" built for the same
owners in 1850, in a Boston ship
yard. She was towed to New York,
and was hailed, on her arrival, as
the most beautiful ship ever seen in
that discriminating port. Consider
ing the number of vessels that had
passed in review before the eyes of
the Gothamites. this was compliment
raised to the nth power.
Well, Low & Brother sent her to
San Francisco, which trip she made
in just ninety-six days. Unloading
there, she sailed for London, England,
by way of Canton, China, taking on a
fresh cargo at Canton for English
markets. When her freight bills
we're paid at London they were just
fifty thousand dollars more than her
entire cost plus her running expenses
sor the long trip!
Later on, she went regularly into

In carving, ham and beef should be
cut thin; pork, lamb, veal and mutton
little thicker. When carving a leg
of mutton, take hold of the bone end
with the left hand, then cut thin
slices down to the bone and loosen
each slice by putting the knife fiat on
the barred bone and cutting through.
The slicing should gradually change
direction slightly, so to always cut
across the grain.

More Big Munition Plants.

That gigantic corporation is being organized at the present time for the erection of plants and the manufacture therein of munitions of WAT for the na- tions now fighting particularly with a capitalistic support of $50, ,00O, 900 is a seemingly we'll authenticated report heard in Bridgeport.
 Contained in the report is the further rumor that four large plants are to be erected immediately, one of which is to be situated in Bridgeport and the other two at various points ill New England. One of these is to be located in South Norwalk. The capital is said to be almost wholly made up in Providence, R. I.
 The assertion was made that the com- pany already has accepted several enor- nous contracts for munitions to be shipped as soon as manufactured to the foreign fields. It is believed in some circles that the output for the present will be entirely for the allies.

A BIG BLAST
$500 Pounds of Dynamite DisIodges
 Thousands of Tons of Rock.

People in the village were startled last Friday afternoon, at about 2:3O o'clock, by the sound of a mutfied ex- plosion, accompanied by jarring sensation that made houses tremble and windows rattle, and the first thought was that an earthquake had occurred. But it was nothing of the sort. It was the most stupendous dynamite blast, in the lime quarry of the Connecticut Lime Company, that had ever been detonated ln this region, which loosened and shattered, according to the es- timate of MT. M. H. Deely, president of the company, about 13, 900 tons of lime stone.
 Preparations for this big blast had been going on for about a month. A monstrous electric drill, boring hole five inches in diameter, had been in stalled, and eleven holes of that diameter, each sixty feet deep, were drilled along the west brink of the big excavation and twelve feet back from the edge, at regular intervals for the whole distance of 160 feet width of the rock face. Into these eleven holes was deposited $500 pounds of dynamite, in "sticks" 5x8 inches, which were simultaneously exploded by electri- city.
 The few spectators who had been notified by Superintendent Brewster to take places of safety where they could witness the explosion, scattered them selves over the hill and adjacent spots at vantage points where they were out of harms way, and awaited results. When all was in readiness the signal was given and the spark applied. The great depth of the holes muffied the sound to a large extent, and the ex- plosion was not as loud as the specta- tors had expected to hear, from almost two tons of dynamite, but, the results were apparent. The explosion sent a dense cloud of smoke straight up into the air. and at the same instant thous- ands of tons ot rock toppled over into the abyss with a deafening roar. When the spectators reasembled on the brink they saw that the floor of the quarry, sixty feet below, was covered with stupendous heap of shaUtere , rock, and that the entire west wall was twelve feet farther west than it was before the explosion. MT. Deely and Superintendent Brewster pro- nounced it a splendid blast" the powerful charge having dislodged a solid mass of rock 160 feet long, 60 feet high and 12 feet thick.
 This was the first application here of the process used in the Deely quarries in Lee, where it has been in vogue for some time, with gratifying results.

An Expensive SquIrreL.

One lone gray squirrel cost SylEeste Travaglino, an employe at the lime kiln, Boardman, $35.07 and the con- fiscation of his gun, valued at about $25 in all, about $60, and then did not have the pleasure of eating the squir- re, for that was seized as evidence, says the New Milford Gazette. Special Game Protector Morris Dennis, of Falls Village, came here Sunday to try to run dow n some one who has been getting more deer than the law allows, and in- stead stumbled upon Travaglingo just as that gentleman was in the act of bringing down a gray squirrel. The man was placed under arrest, and liberated on the guarantee of Superin- 'tendent Hager thet he would appear for trial Monday morning. Judge Merwin imposed fine of BIO for hunting on Sunday, and also fine of $7 for hunt ing without a license, with costs amounting to $18.07.

KNEE BROKEN
Barrel of Lime, 300 Pounds, Falls on
 Mans Leg

L. B. Tinker is in the Hlllcrest Hospital, suffering with a badly crushed knee, the result of a peculiar accident at the Canaan Lumber Go. yard Tuesday forenoon.
 MT. Tinker was unloading barrels of lime from his wagon, at the lumber yard. Standing at the tail-end of the wagon he had let one barrel down and was in the act of casing the second one off the wagon, when i'll some way he slipped and stumbled, losing his hold upon the barrel, which crashed down upon his left knee. The barrel weighed about 300 pounds, and struck on it's chime, or sharpest edge, painfully crushing the flesh of the mans leg and breaking bone. {.
 James A. Snyder, employed at the yard, went to his assistance, helped him into a wagon and took him to Dr. Lees office. Dr. Lee examined the in- jnry and administered treatment, talk ing the sufferer at noon to Pittsfeld.

lakeviIIe Alive.

Lakeville is alleady getting ready for the community Christmas tree, which was such beautiful feature of the holiday season, over there, last year. Rev. Dr. Goddars writes, in the Journal:
 It is proposed to repeat the happy experiment. of last year in the matter of a community Christmas tree. The effect was wonderfully beautiful in it. self, and the united effort strengthened that community fellowship, which is one of the charms of the old town. The location is central, in front of one town building, the library, fianked by the Town Hall, and immediately upon the premises Of one of the oldest and most historic houses in the place. Seldom can one find finer pine. so symmetrical, so large for this region, or so we'll adapted to the purpose. The electrical apparatus, also, was very we'll designed and installed by the Con- necticut Power Go, as a contribution, too, to public veal. The tree was a great lad" for the town, though that was the least of it's merits, and elicited comment and admiration from every quarter. The 1915 tree will be better A few infelieities in the running of the machinery, will be bettered. The music will be more familiar through out; there will be some emblematic tableaux as an added feature.

Railroad Swamped with Business.


 President Howard Elliott, of the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford Railroad Company informs the Hart ford Courant that the facilities of the road may he unequal to handle the transportation in New England. He said:
 "Just now our chief problem is to have facilities enough to do the busi. ness offering, and we are approaching a condition ill the United States which I have long anticipated, namely, there is not enough transportation to go around, and business will be checked for that reason. am very fearful of the situation in New England because the condition for the last four or five years have been such that it has been practically impossible for the railroads to go ahead with constructive work
 "Now we are doing everything we can to get equipment, sidetracks, yards, etc., but the continued investigations and the present trial are handicaps, to a certain extent, on the class of work to which the officers should be devoting their entire time. We want to deliver the right kind of transportation to the people of New England and we want to have enough of it for future needs. Our plant, however, is not sufficient at the present time to furnish the goods that you want and that we want to give.''
