Hughes.
cortland Oregonian.)

The greatest service Mr. Hughes has
performed in his campaign tour is to
himself, for he has dissi2ated com
pletely a common belief that he is stiff,
formal and distant. The mind s eye
of the public pictured in Hughes a
judge-sedate, circumspect and eau
tious; but it has been learned that he
has a sparkling attractive personality,
a normal instinct for the society of
his fellows, gracious and simple man
ner and an entirely human outlook up
on the pleasures and problems of life.

Primary Brings Changed Methods,
{ Windsor Journal.)

Even the Rutland News which has
always opposed the direct primary adj
nits that newspaper advertising for
political purposes is the cheapest and
best method of distributing informa-
ton. Sure! 1t S way ahead of the good
old days when the money used to get
into the hands of petti-fogging rousta-

Now that Maine has settled its elec-
tion problems to the satisfaction of the
Republicans at least, the state ought
to look its prohibitory law squarely
in the face. When one city is known
to have from 100 to $50 open saloons
it is time to turn to local option or
revamp its prohibitory law so that
there are teeth in it.

LEGEND OF THE VAMPIRE.
Queer Beliefs That Cling About This
Old World Superstition.

The vampire, according TO the belief
Of eastern Europe, is the physical body
Of dead person, male or female, that
maintains itself in sort of half life In
the grave by returning TO its former
haunts and nourishing itself on the
blood of living persons. This supersti-
ton Is Enthusiastically Slavonic.
The vampire superstition is strongest
in White Russia and the Ukraine,
though it also pervades the popular be-
lief in Poland and Servia. among the
Czechs of Bohemia and the Slovaks of
Hungary and Is TO be traced as far as
Albania and Greece. Comparative phi
lology proves it to have had common
origin with the equally hideous legend
of the were wolf, human being who
could at will assume the appearance
and ferocity of wolf, which If wound
ed In its nocturnal pursuits In the head
or limbs could not etface its injuries or
escape detection when it returned to
its human form.
The vampire is to be detected during
his visits to the haunts of man by his
extreme pallor, his unnaturally long
and pointed canine teeth and his fetid
breath The vampire also throws no
shadow either upon the ground or on
looking glass and is never seen to eat
or drink. How he leaves and re-enters
his grave Is an undecided point be-
cause no one is ever supposed TO have
had the courage and address to see, but
the belief is that locked doors and
closed windows are no bar to his move

MAILING AN IMAGE.
Curious Custom Of tho Natives OF the

Among the curious objects in the

eiety at Kenslngton Gore. In London,
is fetish that was captured in 1865
from river pirates on the Kongo riv-
or. II is a wooden figure with mica
eyes that glisten unpleasantly in the
dark. A number OF heavy nails have
been driven into its body.
According 10 Mr.. T. A. Joyce OF the
British museum. the practice OF driv-
ing nails into images has two pur-
poses. One is simply TO get favor
granted. In that case the worshiper
on paying the fetish man q fee is per-
mitted TO drive nail into the figure
while uttering his petition. The 9TH
er purpose is TO injure an enemy. In
that case the applicant pays a heavy
fee and drives his nail into the figure
in the belief that his enemy will fall
i'll and die.
A man who falls i'll goes at once to
the fetish man and makes inquiries,
and II he finds that an enemy has
driven a nail into the idol with him
in mind he brides the fetish man
heavily to remove 1t. That. he thinks,
insures his getting we'll.
The principle underlying the prac-
tice is quite different from that un-
derlying the old practice of making a
wax image OF an enemy and driving
pins into it. The wax figure repre-
sented the victim, who in some oc-
cult way felt in his own person the
abuse lavished on his eff1gy. The nail
driven into the wooden figure. on
the contrary. is TO remind the god to
perform the wishes of the petitioner.

ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for week ending July s:

Notes Tor week ending july .:
This past week the county agent has
measured the hay yield from the various
plats to which nitrate of soda, CONNER
cial top dressing, salt and lime have beer
applied. All have given gains, but not
as large as last year, due probably to the
extreme wet weather teaching out much
of the soluble nitrate before the plant
could use it and at the same time leach
ing out some of the acidity so that lime
was NOT as necessary. Complete figures
will be given in the next circular letter.
A letter from Prof Lutman, plant
pathologist at the Vermont experiment
station, gives the following warning con
corning potatoes this year:
IF the present weather keeps up we
are sure to have blight and the potta toes
can only be saved by early spraying

mending a 2Ka-21a-50 mixture this year

Less than three pounds OF arsenate of

less. Unless your beetles have more
delicate constitution and digestion than
ours, you will have to add this much"
The mixture mentioned above means
two and one half pounds copper sulphate
(blue vitroll, two and one-half pounds
quick lime to 80 gallons of water. He
recommends sticking to the old-fashioned
bordeaux mixture rather than using
some of the commercial preparations
which may contain much less copper.

with this minimum bordeaux mixture Civ
en- above Some of our popular sprays
are excellent insecticides but useless TO
prevent blight. Note that he also recon-
mends arsenate of lead rather than paris
green. The arsenate stays on much bet
ter and will not injure the plants. Paris
green is also very high in price this year.
Full directions for making bordeaux mix
ture can be had upon application to the
county agent.
Dates for various picnics and field days
are already arranged for August and the
county agent would recommend that any
more making plans get in touch with him
that there may not be conflicting dates
if it can be helped.
Watch for the date and plans for the
two-county picnic to be held in Barre
sometime in August The two county
associations with the cooperation of the
Barre and Montpelier Boards of Trade
plan to make this the largest and most
successful get-together day ever held in
