Trip to Lake Champlain.

This morning, despite the threatening

a seasonable start on its Burlington trip.

tation details were handled expeditions.

loaned by citizens of Barre, were re-
CURED to accommodate the visitors and
an automobile was started at the end
of every interval of two minutes While
the heavy rain of the morning may have
slightly dampened the ardor of the SUI
perintendents, they were disposed to
look on the brighter side of the situa-
ton and it was not an uncommon thing
TO hear an optimistic super" after
scanning the horizon, remark that "the
rain had surely laid the dust"
The way lay through the Winooski
valley and the travellers were to be per-

CAN A FROZEN FISH
 BE RESTORED TO LIFE?

Occasionally a fish" story gets into circulation which has such a scientific flavor that it challenges the credulity of even the very well informed. To this class belongs the story of the resurrection of a fish called the "Chindagaks, whicl' il is reported, will come to saia after having lain frozen 3ild in the ice for months.
 According to the authori es cs3n- nected with the United States Fish Commission, the chindagaIs is a newcomer not only into the h<l1 ot fish literature but also into
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-12-21

lists Of known species. None of the experts on the Commission has heard of it before. They declare that when a fish is entirely frozen, He IS extinct; though it is possible Tor fish to appaer to be frozen when it's flesh is only stiffened from the cold. The blood is still uncon- gealed, therefore the fish is still alive and will, of course, revive gradually when placed in water of the proper temperature.
 Even this will happen only to a nsh which has been caught through hole in the ice and left lying ex- fased on the ice surface until it has become stiffened from the cold.

The song Dixie was written in
1859 by D. d. Emmett, and was first
publicly sung by Bryant's mintrels, in
New York, at Mechanics hall. The in
spring air and the words, which were
in the darby dialect, appealed to the
South, where the song became popular.
1t became the battle song of the con-
federacy. There were two other
"DixieS," the one northern ballad and
the other a southern ballad of the Civil
war, by Albert Pike, which first ap-
peared In the Natchez (Miss.) Courier.
The origin of the phrase 'Dixieland''
is thought to be IN the/name Of q Mr..
Dixie, a slave-holding New York citi-
zen, who moved to the South. His
large number of slaves, the story runs,
bemOaned leaving their old home,
which they called DiXie's Land. The
phrase spread and was appropriated
for the Southern states, which were
substituted for the original DiXieland.
The phonetic connection between the
word and Mason and DixOn'S line also
has been pointed out. The boundary
line to the negroes was Mason and
Dixie's" land.

New Grounds for Divorce.

There have recently been furnished
by an English novelist new grounds for
divorce, namely, 'incOmpatability of
furniture" This is not so slight as it
seems for, though the day has gone by
when q woman can torment her huS-
hand with the tidy" ''the lambre-
quin' and the "antimacassar," there
are other means to the same end.
There is, for instance, the futurist
footstool-a small affair of gaudy tint
that leers aggressively upward if he
looks thoughtfully down; that has, if
he should be wild enough to desire to
rest his slippered foot upon it, mass
of hard, silk, wOuld-be fruit sewed just
where it will interfere on the top.
Ever this footstool is placed where he
will be sure to stumble over it in the
dark. Then there is the hand-painted
in oils Chinese bed of wood, or the
photo of the mutual friend he can't en-
dure or for his dresser drawer the
silk tie case she made him when she
knows he likes to hang his tie Gp-but
look around a little for yourself-and
charity begins at home.

Horses of the coesacks.

That the Cossacks should have been
the first of the Russians to win through
by roads deemed impossible is no mat
ter for surprise to anyone familiar with
the COssack's horse. He is small, with
short, thick head and neck and
sloping back, but what he lacks in size
he makes up in sense. - weather and
climate he is alike Indifferent, and does
not miss a farm stable, because that
IS a luxury he never had. He viii
thrive where any other horse would
starve, and relishes food that a goat
would scorn. His rider will tether him
on a snow-covered plain and he will
get his own food by scraping aside. the
snow to get at the reindeer moss. And
so dOcile is he that he viii form a
breastwork fer his master to fire over,
or cover incredible distances on the
shortest Of commons.

Saccharine.

Saccharine is the sweetest substance
in the world. 1t is $50 times sweeter
than cane sugar. and is extensively
used in jellies and preserves, as well
as in the diet of persons who cannot
stand sugar.
Prof. Ira Remsen of Johns Hopkins
university discovered 1t nearly forty
years ago while working ON a series of
experiments in the laboratory.
ANY practical man." Professor REM
sen wrote, would unhesitatingly have
condemned the work as being utterly
usleSs, and 1 may add that some did
condemn il. There was no hope, no
thought entertained by us that any
thing practical would come of it" But
saccharine was the result and it is now
extensively manufactured.
This incident is one of many an
swerS TO the plea that all education
and all work should be practical" The
whole foundation of modern civiliza-
ton is laid ON scientific work that
often seemed the most impractical in
the world.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State Of New York alone
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Ro the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, IN most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,

macy 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two slzes-50c and $l0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

GRAVY Calculating.

Edgar H. Bruton of Moultrie, Ga,
who until recently regarded himself
as d mathematical genius, has consult
ed specialists in. Atlanta to determine
if he cannot stop calculating. He suf-
ferS from an ailment which he refers
to as acute and chronic calculation,
and as result of viii III his head hurts,
he talks constantly to himself and his
nervousness increases daily.
Mr.. Bruton became so mathematical
that he counted how many steps he
took in any direction, how many times
he opened and closed his eyes in a
given time and how many strokes he
took when shaving. At first he required
SOB strokes of the razor to do the last
mentioned performance, and when he
cut the strokes down to 300 and whit
tied his chin down to nothing he began
investigating himself with the aid of
physicians. He now estimates that he
will be cured by spring, during which
time he will open and shut his eyes 49,

War rraveIinq--A Retrospect.

J. West Goodwin of Company l, Six
ty-second regiment, Ohio volunteer in
fantry, has told the story of how he
and his comrades went to war in 1861.
According to Private Goodwin's ac-
count he and his fellow enlisted men
went to war on fiat cars, locating them
selves as they could amid their wagons
and guns. and taking the smoke and
cinders and weather as they came. The
commissioned officers were provided
with passenger coaches lighted with
enc candle each. The regiment, trav-
cling in this style, reached West Vir-
ginia just in time TO enter the battle
of Rich mountain. Private GOodwin's
pay was IS a month and no provision
for the family left behind and no guar
anty that his job would be held open
for his return.
Even the worst of war travelling in
1916 was luxury compared with the
best in 1S61.-Buffalo Enquirer.

IN THE CRISIS OF BATTLE
Awful Striin Upon the Nerves of SOL
diera Before an Assault Is
Made on Enemy.

In modern warfare the ten min
utes preceding an infantry attack hold
for both sides the most intense strain
human nerves can withstand. To
crouch in shelters through hours of in
tense bombardment, to be fully con-
SciouS during that suspense of what is
coming, and finally, when the shells are
falling like hailstones before the bar
rage is lifted further back, to wait for
the appalling cry from the lookout:
Here they Gomez" all these expert
ences are likely to torture exceedingly
and stupefy defending force. But for
the attacking soldier there is, perhaps,
more trying experience, writes a cor
respondent to the London Globe.
The morning of the attack dawns
and preparations are made. Yet the
strain is not apparent. Only when the
last buckle is fastened, the last bayO-
net fixed, and the sergeant major mods
meaningly to the company commander,
do the nerves tighten. Each man
stands close against the parapet, bur-
dened with his weighty equipment and
grasping a rifle. Despite the clamor
of guns, the awful silence of waiting
inactive is unbearable. Here and there
man is nervously lingering the am
munitiOn pouches on his belt, another
with his eyes fixed on the trench wall,
runs trembling finger over the bayo-
net edge. There is no conversation
except for an anxious, whispered col
loquy between two officers who are
comparing watches. Then they. too,
turn to face the sandbagS, silent.
You feel that something must snap
unless you speak; but the man by
your side is looking up at the airplane
that Swims high up in the blue sky.
Madly and more madly Shrek the
shells. No enemy can be alive in those
tortured trenches opposite; the dead
lie In the trench bottoms lacerated~and
Enthusiastically twisted. And now, you
are lowering on the brink between the
movable and the UnknOwable. There
is q hereafter-you are quite certain of
that. 1t is wonderfully comforting. .
The company commander is speak
ing, and his words seem strangely mum
dane and inconsequent but their mean
ing penetrates to the material under
standing. With a final, unbelievable
crash, the Smelling ceases. y whistle
shrieks and the charge is on.
