Vermont turns out nearly nine per cent of the stone products of the entire country, being exceeded in \u2018that merely by the great and rich state of Pennsylvania.Who says, then, that Vermont is not a state of opportunity?With only 855,000 people and a scarcity of capital, it means that the state has splendid natural resources in order that it should attain such a high position in the stone industry.Given more capital, the production would increase and that increase in production would in turn, increase the population by attracting workers in the quarries and the atone finishing plants.A little old state tacked away up here in the remote section of the United States, al- moet crowded out and into Canada, in fact\u2014what a record of advancement in the stone industry under conditions which have been not particularly conducive to development?If such a thing is possible with so comparatively little capital, it will be easily possible for little old Vermont to double its output with the incoming of more capital.And, too, instead of sending money out to the Western states, let bome capitalists inveet at home, thus furnishing the best incentive for outside capital to be attracted to the state\u2019s industries.\u2014Barre-Times.Memories of Old Vermont.Though Vermont was not admitted to the Union until 1791, there are 53 towns in the state that may or might hold sesqui-centenniais this summer, ae The Montpelier Journal figures out local history.Such a number must presuppose very email beginnings and the closest calculations of dates, since Vermont at the begining of the Revolution was but sparsely settled, and was claimed both by New York and New Hampshire.Not until after the peace was Vermont able to demonstrate that it owned iteelf, and was even then materially aided in the assertion of its claim by the payment of a \u2018\u201csalatium?\u201d to New York to quit its title.Some of the towns dating back: to 1761 must bave been in that year of about the proportion of one log house.However, to a community bent on holding a sesqui-centennial one log house is enough.\u2014Boston Transcript.BUNKER HILL.un Mr.and Mre.A.W.Feich visited friends at

of \u201cThe Sheafe,\u201d a religious monthly published at The Waeirs, N.H., which contains this reference to Emanuel Jones: The following is a letter from Emanuel Jones, who was diefellowshipped in the September Sheaf.Canaan, N.H., \u201cI write to acknowledge that all that was said in The Sheaf was true, and I want to ask the pablic everywhere to forgive me for preaching one thing and living another.From the bottom of my heart, I ask you all to forgive me.I pray the Church of God that I may be forgiven for Jesus\u2019 sake and that from this day forth I may be His humble follower.\u201d (Signed) EMANUEL JONES.\u201cI would say that the above letter Was received by me October 9, 1910, and I give it verbatum.\u201cI will add that Emanuel Jones sent for me, desiring to see me.I am sorry to say that in my private talk with godly sorrow, but a desire for reinstatement rather than a desire for forgiveness.\u201cI still feel to warn God\u2019s peopie againet him until he shall be brought to genuine heart repentance.\u201cJt is getting to be a common thing for Christian workers to do things that would make the worid blush and then, turning, say, \u201cI will repent,\u201d and expect to continue in the mivis- try.According to the Word of God, we should have a spirit of forgiveness toward all, and if a brother turn, saying, \u201cI repent,\u2019 he should be forgiven.I feel in my heart nothing but a spirit of forgiveness toward Emanuel Jones, but I do not believe that he or any | other man should be intrusted with tne gospel after he has been guilty of crime, until he has proven himself in such a manner that the Church of God can send him forth with their benediction and blessing.\u201cAs the question has been coming to me from every side, \u201cOf what has he been guilty?\u201d I will here briefly state: He bas been guilty of unclean habits with young men, leading them into self-abuse, and this in homes where he has gone for the purpose of preaching to them the everlasting gospel.\u201cIs it not time to cry out against these things, and that we demand of every Christian worker that they be pure even as He is pure.\u201d J.A.WRIGHT.THE BIG BAR 13 inch Glass

curtains.Whether at home or in boarding school the draping of windows adds much to the beauty of the room.As the chief charm of a young girl's room is simplicity, curtains should be dainty rather than ornate.They should also be sheer enough not to shut out the light and alr, so important to a growing girl.Curtains reaching to the window- | sil! are fn fashion.They are provided with a narrow casing at top to rua on a brass rod, and ench side is finished with an inch-wide hem with a three or five inch hem at bottom, When a window is sectional a sine gle curtain is used on each section, eurtains the lace ones are on the two outer windows only.It is possible by watching bargains to get sets of net or Swiss curtains at reduced rates, but many girls who do fancy work prefer to work their own, or their mothers will do it for: them.Various materials are suitabie for \u2018such curtains, from dotted or figured Swiss at 10 or 15 cents a yard to fish net or cotton brussels net from 25 to 50 cents a yard and a yard and a quarter wide.For the average window (wo widths are needed, each halt of the curtain being two yards aod a half long, allowing for hems.As window frames differ, measure from rod to bottom of sill, and them allow enough for casing and hem.It is well to have the curtains a little long at first to allow for shrinking.The trimming of the net curtains may be kept quite simple, or an elaborate design can be used across the bottom.This is more stylish than to have an all-around border effect.Turn in the side and bottom hems, basting them closely.On Swiss this hem can be held by

tie Malws makes à habit of taking cargoes to spots that \"are hardly os the map.I say bardly, because I doubt if one out of ten mariners \u2018can\u2019 find Port Madryn, which most people would take for a Chinese harbor or the village of an Indian tribe.As a matter of fact, Port Madryn lles on the border of Patagonia, although it comes properly under the dominion of the Argentine Republic.We've been eall- ing for that port for several years, and so far we have escaped any trouble, githough once we came near being caught on the rocks, far from buman assistance.\u201cThe Malwa had entered the roads near Puerto Madryn, as the South Americans call it, and we were feeling our.way through the tortuous channels when my mate sang out that the Malwa seemed to be wabbling.I was in the cabin at the time and too much engros ed with a good dinner to feel the wab- bling that the mate told me of.\u201cAs I came on deck I, too, fait the queer motion of the barkentine.There was a stiff breeze blow'ng across the channel and I-ordered the canvas reefed so as to slow up a bit between the treacherous sunken\u2019 rocks.ahead, lurching over one way cne time and over toward the other s'de the next, like an intoxicdted person, and squeaking in a queer way all the time, just like & human being in distress.So PUSHING A BARKENTINE ALONG \u201cNothing that we could do with the sails seemed to hold the ship.It looked to me as if the blooming rocks were rising and falling like a toboggan slide and keeping the Mal- wa on the go in spite of herself, scraping her bottom as she went over the smooth but dangerous rocks.\u2018My mate, Carlton, told me he was beginning to feel queer like, and one after another the crew \u201c\u2018got white around the gills.\u201d By and by the motion of the Malwa got me going, too, as the apparently crazy craft kept wabbling to end fro and sliding forward as if she was PD ing over greased ways instead of cutting deep water with her pretty bow, \u2018Something had to be done to stop the Malwa.There wasn't a man in the crew who was fit to haul a rope, much less to think up a scheme to save the barkentine from what appeared to me to be certain destruction.\u201cI managed to get a few of the men to get out some long poles, and four of us hammered poles down in an effort to stop the uheven progress of our vessel.Everywhere we felt rock, rock, rock, and the Malwa continued to wobble and wobble.At last we were unable to reach bottom, and a few minutes later we struck mud with our poles.None of us cherished the idea of being canal boat men on a barkent'ne.But with our poles, pushing against the persistent headway of the Mal- wa, we certainly were no better than the crew of a canal liner, \"We brought up in a sort of cove and breathed free for an hour or two while I ransacked the charts to find where we were.The charts told nothing of the channel there, aithough I am sure that we had had an open sea at the same place before, from all observations, \u2018\u2018\u2019At Puerto Madryn where we finally made port, we learned that on the day we had been tobogganing through the rocky channel there had been an earthquake in Pata- conia that had caused much destruc tion and I realized why those blooming rocks had been a-wabbling.\u201d Big Tips for Little Favors.\u201cIt is surprising,\u201d sald a veteran Pullman porter, \u201chow big a tip a

fishing were common.Many stories are told of lucky finds.A trio of tramps one day tried to induce a ferryman to carry them across the river.He gruffly refused, telling them to go work and hunt pearls for a living.They took his advice, and in about three hours had gathered several bushels of shells.Sitting down to open them, they discovered in the fifth shell a pear! that sold for more than enough to buy all the early possessions of the ferryman.A lad playing about a boat used for pear]! fishing discovered something shiny on the bottom.He showed it to a man whom he met on the street, and cheerfully accepted $10 for the pearl.The man disposed of it to a friend for $50, who sold it later for four times that sum to a professional buyer, who is reported to have received several thousand dollars for it.A business man who was on the verge of bankruptcy went down to the river to put in a few days fishing while he contrived to think some way out of his difficulties.On the first day he found three pearls that he disposed of for sufficiert to pay all of his debts.Pearls worth $900 were found one afternoon by three young Northern women who had accepted an invitation from a Southern hostess to join a bathing party with a pearl fishing attachment.The proper dress for these functions, by the way, was the ordinary bathing dress and broad brimmed straw hats.Although the industry has waned greatly the last year, there are still numerous camps of fishermen to be seen dotting the river banks.The shallows were, of course, first looted, and nowadays most of the work is done in the deeps.For this purpose oyster tongs are used, and the work is kept up most of the year.Dredging for pearls is very largely a business matter tnese days.Dredges are used on the ueep places and on the bars the river bottom is ploughed up and the mussels brought in scows and opened.The shells are saved and sold to the button factories that have sprung up at every town and village.These shells more than pay the expenses of the work, and the pearls found are clear profit.Several comfortable fortunes have been built up in this way.There are hundreds of button fac tories all along the upper Mississippi.Wherever there are sandbars and shallow places the work of dredging for mussels goes on.The supply is getting shorter every year, and to preserve the sources And propagate the mussel the last Congress was induced to make a liberal appropriation.Shells by the carloads are shipped to the factories and there they are made into blanks and buttons.A big business in shipping the blanks to Germany has been built up in the ast few years, Rule Where Men Burn.The rule of conduct on \\den, where men bern :oop the head cool and «arm, QUEER AUSTRALIAN GAME.Native Fhwncants and Quails\u2014The Bustard\u2014=S8oup of Kangaroo Tall, It is on the billabongs and crooks of the back country that the best sport is to be obtained.Im wet ses- sons ducks and teal are to be shot, and in the ranges between the hurray and the Murrumbidgee Rivers the \u201cnative pheasant,\u201d or mallee hen is to be found.This is & fine table bird, quite equal in my opinion, to any English pheasant.It is very shy and not easy'to obtain.I knew a man who kept a few bloodhounds for hunting dingoes.He used to go into the scrub where there were malee hens, put the dogs on their tracks and center after them.The birds would sometimes rise in an open space In the scrub, and I have known him to bring down a brace of them when shooting from the saddle.Good duck shooting might be had at the large water holes if it were possible to get near without being seen, and In the summer evenings excellent sport is obtainable by waiting for the brorzewinged piz- eons, which at sunset fly to water.There is also a small quail, like the Egyptian, to be shot in New South Wales after harvest.There they strlp tbe wheat, 1.e., take merely the heads off with a stripping machine, leaving the straw.I have known half a dozen guns make & capital bag without dogs.The Australian game bird, however, ig the native bustard, or \u201cwild turkey,\u201d as it is there called, although It is now very scarce except in the extreme back country.At one time it was common enough in Victoria, though now rare in that State, but on the back blocks of New South Wales it was plentiful a few years ago.They were, nevertheless, difficult to stalk on foot, but, curiously enough will allow one to drive quite within range, and I have seen many shot from a buggy toward the Darling River.They are capital table birds, often larger than the biggest turkey one coulu buy at an English Christmas market.The flesh of the breast is brown and tastes like wild duck.Properly cooked the Australian bustard has hardly its equal.It prefers arid plains and I have shot them on the goldfields of Western Australia, where there is little or no water.They must be able to fly great distances, for ome never sees them about the desert country of West Australia in the hot weather.Imported hares are very numerous in certain parts, and the rabbit fs ubiquitous.I remember an Aus tralian squatter, who was ruined by rabbits, saying he bad not much left, but be would be glad to subscribe a pound toward a monument to the idiot who Introduced rabbits and foxes into Australia! Rabbit shooting is to be had almost anywhere, and as they are trapped and poisoned by the hundred thousand, perhaps they too may become extinct in tinie.No one who bas not seen the rabbit warrens in the sandy back country of the Darling would credit the enormous number which exist tuere.I have passed miles of sandhills gt dusk which seemed absolutely alive with vermin, as Australians call them.This reminds me of an Englishman engaged to cook for the shearers on a back sta tion, who by way of a treat, made a rabbit ple for the men.He was nearly murdered for his pains! Austrian shearers had not come, they said, to eat vermin.Twenty or thirty years ago the back country squatters, in order to destroy kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at the corners of their paddocks, running yards of calico along their wire fences and then drive the kangaroos into the pits, clubbing and shooting them.In those days kangaroo sking were of mo value; now that they are almost extinct, there Is a great demand for them.The flesh of a young Kangaroo is vy no means to be despised, and the kangaroo tail soup is a delicacy now hardly to be obtained.\u2014London Field.* Lived 8,000,000 Years Ago.A fratbered glant of the past.Extinct b\u2019rd call~{ the phoyorhacods.It lived about 3,000,000 years ago Un \\ Hume TRE PHOYORHACOS.| and hed its home in Patagonia.Its height was eight feet and its head as large ss that of a horse.It could not fly but was a swift runner.Tt lived oa living prey.Did you ever Meas of a coroner's jury returning a verdict of \u201ckilled bp kindness?\u201d For a long time Margaret sat by her desk, holding the letter in her hand and staring across the room at the mirror\u2014the mirror that for seven months had been heavily draped, and that while she lived always.would be draped.The side of Margaret's face that was turned toward the window\u2014sand this accounted for the inconvenient position of her desk\u2014was almost faultlessly beautiful.The profile just escaping too great aquilinity, the smooth, creamy skin, the dark, finely drawn eyes, the intensely red mouth, the masses of black, wavy hair\u2014 every feature was exquisite and beau- titully placed.The other side\u2014but we will not look at Margaret from the other side.She had not done s0 herself for seven months, since the fire.Let us look instead at that para- gfaph, so often reread, in which Dale had said he was coming home again.\u201cMy own, it will not be long now\u2014 has three years seemed long to you?You will not believe me, of course, but even art is no fit mistress for a man in love.Every picture I have painted has had some touch of you in Ît-even when my model was & chubby blonde.face, my Margaret!

spoiled fragment before you?Let me know before you plan to return.\u201d And Floss watched with two perfectly good eyes and quivered an um- spoiled nose while Margaret sealed the letter.Dale\u2019s answer was not long in coming.If you did not know Dale, fit sounded cruel, \u201cOf course I'm ali broken up about Floss,\u201d he wrote.\u201cBut 1 don\u2019t see what you can do but send her to
