of people who were awaiting the arrival of the incoming \u2018spur\u2019 train at the Beebe station.At the Junction the runaway horse collided with the railway scales and was brought to a sudden halt.There four men seized the maddened beast and took him across to C.E.Twombly\u2019s livery stable.The sleigh was a pung, and the seat, as well as its occupant, was missing.With a torch Engineer Hutcine patrolled the track back as tar as Beebe looking for a possible obstruction; from Beebe the train crept slowly up to this place while the engine crew watched the track ahead.The main line train was an hour late, otherwise a collision would have been inevitable.Mr.Austin J.Miles, of Derby, driver of the runaway horse, had been \u2018spilled out\u201d between this place and Beebe, and

VERMONT ITEMS.At the annual meeting of the State Dairymens\u2019 Association at Burlington last week, Mr.Myron A.Adams, of Derby, was elected treasurer.Madam Phelps, of Fairfax, aged 90 years who fell down some stairs recently, is gaining.Mrs.Phelps is the mother of Dr.8.H.Phelps.L.R.Allen, principal of the Johnson State Normal School, is soon to move to Massachusetts where he has a situation, having resigned his position there.The loss on the Sibley woolen mill at North Montpelier, owned and operated by the Little Manufacturing Co., which wae burned to the ground December 31, is about $20,000 and there was insurance of 812,500.Secretary Walter H.Orôckett of the Vermont Historical Society urges public recognition of the 100th anoi- versary of the birth of Stephen A.Douglass, a native son of Vermont.Mr.Douglass was born in Brandon April 23, 1813.The sale of between $370 and 8380 worth of Red Oroes Christmas stamps has mow been reported in Vermont, and from the present outlook the sale will be rauch larger than last year.As usual, Brattleboro is far in the lead and the sale there will probably reach $240.The New England alumni of the University of Vermont, will hold their annual dinner at the Boston City Club February 7.The speakers will include President Guy Potter Benton, Dr.H.C.Tinkbam, dean of the medical department; Gov.Fugene N.Foss, of Boston, Dr.J.B.Wheeler, of Burlington, Dr.F.Thomas Kidder, of Woodstock, Theodore N.Vail, and Ralph A.Stewart of Boston.George Schmitt\u2019s unusual luck attends him even in South America, for although the Rutland bird man has been ill in Columbia of typhoid fever his recovery was possible only through a very fortunate combination of circumstances.The three physicians who attended hlm at the Cartagena hospital told him he was the first American ever treated for typhoid at the institution who emerged alive.The stone cutting plant of Sweeney Bros., Montpelier, was burned to the ground Saturday.The loss is about 815,000 with 812,000 Insurance.The fire was discovered by William Gould, who was awakened by the reflection of the flames.The fire is thought by Chief W.A.Patten to have been of incendiary origin.This the seventh fire in the stone shed belt in 12 years, the total loss amounting to $100,000.A rare instance of longevity is found in the family of which Mrs.Eliza Morse, of West Brattleboro, is the last surviving member.The father of the family, James Nichols, died at the age of 99 years and nine months.His wife, Roxy Sargent, was 85 years old at her death.Mrs.Morse is 96 years old.Her sisters and brothers died at the following ages: Sophia 95; George, 84; Sophronia, 80; Annie, 80.The aggbegate of these ages is 651 years.Vermont leads all the states of the Union in the matter of mere numbers in the record of school attendance, with 927 children out of every 1,000 in public or private echools, according to a report just made by the division of education of the Russell Sage foundation.In other respects, on the whole, this state showe up fairly well in education, as compared with other states, but in the average amount of salary paid to teachers, Vermont is near the foot of the list.The fellow workmen of a Bethel granite cutter who died in poor circumstances showed their regard for him and a practical charity by working during the funeral hour and contributing the aggregate of their wages earned during that hour to his indigent family.The amount earned by labor was 875 and this, added to 854, otherwise contributed, was a much more substantial way of showing their respect for the workman than to have appeared in the cortege.One of the largest deals ever put through in Richford is the reported sale by the Miesisquoi Lumber Co.of that village to the Woodstock Lumber Co.of Boston of the spruce stumpagse in Canada owned by the former company and the mill at Stevens Mills in that town, and the leasing of a period of 15 years of the mill yard at Stevens Mills.As the Woodstock Lumber Cois chartered inthe state of New Hampshire, there will probably be a company formed to do businees in Vermont.It is expected thata largely increased business will be done by the new company.Older Green Mountain Boys to Meet.By invitation ot the people of Sax- tons River, the third annual conference of the Older Green Mountain Boye will be held in that town, beginning Friday afternoon, January 17, and closing Sunday evening, January Last year there were 247 men aud boys present, and the coming conference it is anticipated will bring together a large number of boys, as well as leaders of work with boys, who are interested in the best welfare of the boys in the state.The conference will open with the supper Friday evening.Saturday wil be devoted to addresses and discussions.Vermont for All.Now and then one hears something about Vermont for Vermonters.It ls foolish to talk of such things; sucha slogan bad better be sent te the scrap pile in a barry and never called back.Vermont never has been for Vermonters.Vermonters never have been all in all for Vermont.Vermont bas furnished every state in the Union with some of its strongest men.Vermont bas given to every section of the nation its best blood.Vermonters, leaving tbeir native state, have made names for themselves famous the country over.And Vermont in turn bas received from outside some men who have grown into great things under the influences that surrounded them in the Green Mountain state.Vermont wants these outsiders to-day as much as ever.There must not be even the suggestion of exclusiveness.One sees how foolish such a policy would be from reading the word, \u201cex- clueiveness.\u201d Vermont is for the whole nation.Vermont needs the nation and the nation needs Vermont, for Vermont ie the mother of men.\u2014 St.Albans Messenger.HOTBED IS VERY IMPORTANT Best Location ls on South Side of Bullding for Protection\u2014Pro- vide Fall for Rains.(By J.W.GRIFFIN.) The hotbed Is a very important part of a well-kept garden.It lengthens the season in which we may supply our tables with fresh vegetables.A bed that is 13 feet long and 6 feet wide will accommodate four reg- ular-sized sashes, 3x6 feet.In this bed we have 48 squares of space, which 1s sufficient to grow the plants for a good-sized garden.A garden, three or four hotbeds and some cold- frames is a good start toward suc cessful truck farming.The best location for the hotbed is on the south side of the building, a high, tight board fence, or one protected by a heavy growth of ever greens for a windbrake.The site should be a little higher than the surrounding surface so that good drainage may be secured.Make an excavation a little wider and a little longer than the bed 18 to be.The inside dimensions for a bed 6 feet wide and 12 feet long will be 6 feet 4 inches wide, and 12 feet 4 inches long.The excavation should be about 2 feet deep.The opening should be boarded up with 2-inch stuff for keeping out the mice and moles.Where possible, the beds should face southeast, or directly east.The back of the frame should be 16 inches, and the front about 8 inches high.This gives sufficlent fall for water from rains or snows to drain off nicely, and the rays of sunshine will have better opportunity to get at the small seedlings.The preparation of the manure is not such a particular job as is generally supposed, but the simple prin- Hotbed Protected by High Board Fence.ciple involved is not generally known.The yeast fungus, when once introduced into a manure-heap suitable to its development, spreads rapidly, and soon has the whole mass In a state of heat.Horse manure is the best, espe cially when the horse has been fed on rich foods, such as grain, bran and .ollmeal.The bulk of the manure should be urine-soaked straw, that which has served as bedding in the stalls.Forest leaves, when mixed in with straw, make a heat that 18 most powerful and lasting.The manure should be hauled df rectly from the stalls to the beds, and piled in a conical heap, leaving it until fermentation has set up.Before fermentation becomes too 1tvely, which is ascertained by the es caping steam, the pile should be fork: ed over into another part of the frame and left over until the escape of steam is again noticeable, then it should be tramped into the frame per fectly solid.If the manure is very hot, the soil should be put on at once, but if not, the sash should be placed over the manure for a few days, until the manure is well heated, then the soil put on.The bed should be watched, and as soon as the seeds of weeds which are in the soll begin to come up all over the bed, it is time to plant the garden seed.Do not neglect the ventilation, as the bed will get very warm on sunny days, at which time the sash should be opened a little at the top, and be careful that no direct draft reaches the tender plants, A covering of old carpet or matting is good to place over the sash during cold nights, and during the day, when there is much sunshine.The frames should be closed before nightfall, es pecially on cloudy afternoons, and they should have manure banked up around them during the cold spells.As soon as the plants are two ot three Inches tall, they should be transplanted to the cold frames which are not unlike the hotbeds, ex: cept that they have no bottom heat and are covered with muslin to keep oft the chill and frost.CASE FOR SPROUTING GRAIN Cabinet Containg Shelves for Placing Sesdo\u2014Foeritlizer Tray Below Water Resorveln Pwo Missouri men have designed what appears to be a very complete cabinet for the sprouting of grain or other seeds.A series or shelves on which the seeds are kept slide in and out.In the sides of the cabinet are hot air passages and means for controlling the flow of air through them.At the top is a reservoir containing water and leading down from this are a number of pipes with perforations along their inner surface.There is also a fertilizer tray below the water \u201cdl or gh Grain Sprouting Case.reservoir.When the contents of the shelves need moistening, the water ls turned on and sprayed through the holes in the pipes, the drippings fall ing into a lower reservoir.If a little extra heat is required, that can be turned on in an instant, while the fertilizer tray has a perforated bottom for sprinkling, GLEANINGS FOR BEE LOVERS Buckwheat Makes Fine Honey\u2014LIttle Insects Are Benefit to Orochard\u2014\u2014 Care In Moving.\u2014 (By A.JOSEPH.) If you have the space and would plant buckwheat you will find it makes fine honey.Plant it late so it will bloom when all other flowers are gone.Some people think bees destroy fruit, but that is not so.The birds pick the fruit and as a usual thing they bite at the ripest on the trees and when the bees find these fruits, they devour them and leave nothing but pit and skin.The damage to ripe fruit fs never started by bees; and after being damaged by the birds it is useless for marketing and, if it la not removed from a sound fruit next to it, the one it touches will rot also.Thus you see the bees are a benefit in the orchard.In moving bees do not do so unti) the weather gets cold, too cold for them to leave the hive, or they will not stay.They will go back to the old location, unless moved a mile and à half or two miles.Then they will stay without any trouble; but if mov ed only a short distance in 24 hours the hives will be pretty well desert ed.As a general thing bees do not fly more than a mile or mile and a half and they become familiar with the surroundings within that distance.[DAIRY NOTES Poor cows are never clean, No dairy is ever too clean.Slow ripening of cream produces a bitter flavor.Every rapid churn is a failure.It wastes butter fat, Many a common cow can be made -good with more feed.Properly managed, dairying brings in a constant income.With calves too low a temperature of feed causes scours, The cow that gives much milk must have plenty to drink The best way to keep cows clean is to use plenty of bedding.Keep the cows out of the chill ing winds.There is no profit in a chill, Do not excite the cows or expose them to stress of insects, flies or the weather.It is sald that the occupation of dairying is confining.If this is true, then it must be & good cure for loafing.Dairy shows, fairs and all the expositions show us what has been done, and give us a glimpse of what may be done.In dairying there is no excuse for the man who goes at it blindly to blame luck and weather for his failure.Turn the separator with a steady and uniform hand and flush down with skim milk or water at the end of separation.It is quite customary among dairy men to quit feeding calves skim milk when they attain the age of eight or nine months.If you don't believe in keeping cows comfortable visit the stables of the men with the big cream check.That ought to convince you.Butter for market wrapped in pa per will always get the edge in price, and the expense is trifling.A quarter buys a big batch of butter paper.Throw away the first few streams of milk from the teats, This milk is very watery and of little value, and is quite apt to injure the remainder of the milk.KATHAN & HOPKINS THE \u201cGOOD QUALITY\u201d STORE During the slow months of January and February you will find us evenly stocked in all lines.y OUR DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT is full of fresh stock.We always lead in Linens, and just now we are showing the best line in our history: BUTCHER LINENS, TABLE LINENS, NAPKINS, DOILIES, COVERS, SCARFS, RUNNERS, HANDKERCHIEFS, WAISTS AND DRESS LINENS, BED LINENS.We have a great variety of Embroidered Linens.You will find what your seeking in this department.We have also been the SILK STORE of the section.See our line now in Black and Colors.Here is where \u201cGood Quality\u201d counts.We have Taffeta, Tamalene and Surah.We have a full stock of Embroideries, Fancy Ribbons for Hand Bags, a Beautiful line for 25 cents.DOMESTICS, PERCALES AND FLANNELETTES in full Stock and many Bargains.Splendid Line of Cashmeres in Black and Colors.LADIES\u2019 FURNISHINGS We have everything needed in Underwear for Women, Misses and Children in Union and 2-piece Suits.Night Robes, Sweaters, Handkerchiefs, Collars, Ties, Toilet Articles, Aviation Oaps and Toques.We have à great variety of Corsets.In Hosiery we are in a position to ft your wants in a big range of prices in Woman's Misses\u2019 and Children\u2019s.A full line of Automobile Hoods.We carry the celebrated FOWNES' GLOVES and MITTENS, in all Glove Leathers, in Silk and Fur- lined.Overshoes, Rubbers, Slippers and a good line of Moccasins.\u2018 MEN\u2019S FURNISHINGS Here we have an interesting selection.In Underwear, we carry for our best The Wolsey, an imported all-wool and full regular made, and Pen-Angle.Work and Dress Shirts, Collars, Ties, Gloves, Mittens, Overshoes, Rubbers and Slippers, a full line of Moccasins.The best Flannelette Nightgown we ever saw for $1.00, and the best Cravenetted, Flannel-lined, big Collar, Working Coat we ever saw for $2.60.In Men's Stockings, we have theline.Full line of Pajamas.NEXT to a Vacuum Cleaner stands the Famous Bissell Carpet Sweeper and we buy enough of these at the time to own them right and you get the benefit.Ji OUR GROCERY DEPARTMENT A]!

More molasses is being fed in the north than ever before, but most dairy farmers are not yet satisfied that it is profitable.In an experiment at the Hatch sta- | tion, Prof.J.B, Lindsey says: \u201cMolosses contains about 3 per cent.of protein and 70 per cent.of digestible sugar.\u201cCompared with corn meal\u201d says Prof.Lindsey, \u201cit equals substance pound for pound in results obtained in feeding milch cows, but when fed to horses they do not seem to be quite equal to the same weight of corn and oats.\u201cIt is estimated that corn meal at $1.20 per hundred pounds, molasses would be worth about $1 per hundred pounds.Its quoted price im Boston is 12 cents per gallon by the barrel and 8.6 per gallon in 10 barrel lots.\u201cA gallon weighs about 12 pounds, so that at present relative prices the molasses would be a little cheaper feed than corn meal.\u201cA good point with the molasses is that it is agreeable to stock and makes them always ready to eat such sub stances as cut corn stubble, malt sprouts, distillery feeds, etc, when mixed with the molasses.\u2018 \u201cA serlous objection is that molasses is not very convenient stuff to handle and attracts flies in summer.\u201cAs a mixture with high grade protein foods, I suggest one-third distil lery grains, one-sixth cotton seed meal, one-half molasses, or one-third malt sprouts, one-third gluton-meal and one-third molasses.\u201cFor working horses, nine pounds of provender and one quart of molasses, or twelve pounds of provender and three pints of molasses, or for hardworking horses substitute one-half pound dry blood or one pound cotton seed ofl or linseed meal in place of an\u2019 equal quantity of provender.HOG SCALDING IS MADE EASY By Use of Apparatus Described and lliustrate

of lever down as low as possible, and tie securely to For Hog Scalding.the hog.By pulling on small end of pole one man can then easily lift the hog while another turns it, writes Ar nold Kurth in the Missouri Valley Farmer.To hang hog put gambrel in on one side and tie rope to that leg.Then by walking to the left the man at the end of lever can bring the hog up and directly under pole when gambrel can easily be put in place and the hog hung with little exertion.GARDEN ond FARM NOTES Don't try to save money by buying cheap seed.Farm tests are worth more than all the theories.Deep plowing is necessary to get the best results.Don't sow alfalfa seed on very recently plowed land.There never were better opportunities in vegetable garden than today.Cabbage growing for kraut fac tories is a peculiarly uncertain busi: ness, .Build a silo and save much of the fodder that would otherwise go to waste.Watch your machinery for loose bolts and nuts, and don\u2019t forget the oil can.A half crop of corn can be turned into five-sixths of a crop by saving the fodder.Two of the best acreage-saving mon- ey-making propositions up to the farmers today are silage and alfalfa.Don\u2019t plant the large varieties of cucumbers, expecting to ralse as many as if the cluster kind were used.Salsify or vegetable oyster should be left in the ground the same as parsnips.Freezing tmproves it.T ick neck onions are usually seen during such seasons as have wet weather at the usual time of ripening.Although there is little data on the subject, alfalfa silage of good quality would certainly make an excellent hog feed, Some enterprising gardener should work up a fancy trade on Al vege tables in the neighborhood of cities of 5,000 or over.Driving a wedge with the back of the ax has spolled many a good tool.Take & paul or beetle to do that work and save the ax for its own use work.Put a small handful of meal in the pail of milk.The calf in licking the pail will get the meal, and after it learns to eag this way a small feeding box can he nasd to batter advantage.NECKBA::DS 97 RIBGGi ye ui DECORATED WITH MOCK JEWELS, THEY ARE MOST EFFECTIVE.With Cheap but Carefully Selected tones a Perfect Imitation of the More Costly Ornaments May Well Be Achieved.Neckbands of velvet ribbon on which are sewed rhinestones, crystal or jet beads are easily made and very effective, The popular width for neck velvets this season is an inch or a trifle more and where the rhinestones are sewed on to simulate slides the inner side of the velvet ribbon Is stiffened slightly with a piece of satin covered collar bone.In making such a neckband measure off an inch and a half on each side of the front and at this point sew a closely set row of tiny brilliants, which cost as little as ten cents a dozen.So placed and well stiffened underneath these simulate the jeweled slides of the more expensive neckbands.This leaves a center space of three inches for special decoration.A good way ls to festoon, from one upright to the other, three or four strings of small beads, letting the lower string droop below the line of the velvet band.Another easy decoration le to use a single string of beads for the the festoon and in the middle attach a small pendant.A single pear shaped mock pearl is good for this purpose and so are many of the inexpensive pendants of mock jewels.Hand made pendants are easily fashioned by covering with black vel vet two circles of cardboard of about the thickness of a visiting card.Sew them together with a neat over and over stitch, drawing the sewing silk tight enough to sink into the pile of the velvet.If pearl beads have been used for the neckband sew small pearls at intervals around this velvet circle, threading the beads so that they shall lie out from the circle like a little frame.Have a center formed of a jet or pearl cabochon with three or more radiating lines of small beads Such a finish for a velvet neckband may be varied almost indefinitely and the size may range up to the dimen sions of the popular enamel lockets Even with a neckband of black the pendant may be of any bright colo: with an encircling row of jet beads and a center ornament of jet and rhinestones.Neckbands of folded black malines are a8 novelty and are easily made along the same lines as the band of velvet except that the rhinestones o1 pearls used to simulate slides should be sewed to a background of the nar rowest of satin or velvet ribbon and the necessary boning placed on the inner side.CARRYING SMALL PACKAGE: (Photo.by Underwood & Underwood, N.?.)

but, nevertheless, the election of mayors .of provincial towns is attended with functions both interesting and curious.For instance, the annual election of the mayor of High Wycombe is not considered complete unless his worship fs \u201cweighed in.\u201d The mayor, as well as each member of the corporation, takes a seat on a pair of gigantic scales, and the result {8 entered in a big book kept at the town hall for the purpose.It is declared that the custom dates back to the reign of Edward IL When a man reaches the mayorship of Plymouth he is supposed, according to an anclent custom, to pay at least one visit during his reign of office to the Lake of Burrator.When this function takes place the whole corporation turns out in all its finery, and, led by the mayor, journeys to the lake.Arriving there, two lines are formed, and a couple of ancient golden goblets, filled with water taken from the lake, are .passed round from mouth to mouth.The mayor and corporation drink to the memory of Sir Francis Drake, who, when mayor of Plymouth, brought water to the town by means of a canal more than twenty miles in length.When the water placed in the goblets is consumed the vessels are filled with wine, and the mayor, holding one at arm's length, exclaims: \u201cMay the descendants of him who gave us water never want wine!\u201d The visit to Burrator lake concludes with a feast, the first dish served being a sucking pig.The mayor of Peterborough\u2019s show is held every October, and his worship and the members of the corporation make their way to Bridge Fair, and de clare it open from the bridge spanning the river.The bridge unites two coun- tios\u2014Northamptonshire and Hunting- donshire\u2014and the mayor, after adjuring all visitors to the fair to conduct themselves soberly and civilly, goes on to declare that \u2018the fair may be held as well in Northamptonshire as in BRuntingdonshire today, tomorrow and the day afterward.\u201d A very ancient custom is the presenting to London's mayor and mayoress every year a selection of pears, apples and grapes by the master of the Fruiterers\u2019 company and the general purposes committee of the city of London.It 18 interesting to know that in earlier times the lord mayor of London was entitled to a proportion of every consignment of fruit arriving in the metropolis by ship.The ax- action of this due caused a good deal of disagreement in days gone by, and it was finally arranged that a yearly presentation of fruit should be accepted in its place, Bver since the days of William the Conqueror, the chief magistrate of the city haa received four bucks from the Royal forests, while each sheriff has received three bucks, and the recorder, the common sergeant, the chamberlain and other city officials one each.Since the title of lord mayor was bestowed on Sir Thomas Legge by Edward III, tn 1954, the high office has carried with it all manner of titles and dignities.In early days he sometimes used his power to the disadvantage of those in office under him.For instance, Harrison, referring to the lord mayor for the year 1479, says: \u201cThis year Thomas Byfleld, one of the sheriffs of London, was fined £50 by the court of alderman for affronting the lord mayor, which arose from no other cause than ls kneeling too near the mayor during prayers at St.Paul's cathedral.\u201d WINS BY WALKING SIX YEARS Peddies Patent Kitchen Utensil Pay His Way as He Travels the Country Over.to Memphis.\u2014 Walking to cheat death, Robert KE.Hillman, thirty years old, arrived in Memphis, covering the last lap of probably the strangest journey in the history of the country.Six years ago physicians told Hill- man in Waterville, Me., that within a month or two he would be dead, a victim of the white plague.A friend advised Hillman to \u201cget plenty of fresh air; get out and walk, eat vegetables, drink plenty of water and fresh milk.\u201d And so Hillman started to walk and tramped all but 400 miles of the way to San Francisco, Hillman arrived in Memphis from Texarkana.He walked from Dallas to that city.Physicians declare him a well man, and he will go back to his old home town on a train, In the eix years he has made enough money from the sale of patent kitchen utensils to more than buy transports- tion.\\ Joman's Great Canning Record.Peace Valley.\u2014The preserving and scanning record of Colorado is believed to be held by Mrs.G.L.Blackburn, who put up 1,700 quarts of fruit.Jellies, jams, spiced fruits, marmalade and every sort of preserves is Included in the array of lars \u201cMY BACK HAS NEVER TROUBLED ME Since Takiag GIN PILLS Lyons Brook, N.S., Feb.26th.\u201cYou are perfectly free to use m name in any way to benefit OIN PILLS, for they deserve the highest praise.My back has never troubled me since g GIN PILLS, and my wife feels much better after taking GIN PILLS for her back.She thinks GIN PILLS will make a complete cure.\u201d JAMES L.NAUSS.GIN PILLS will always relieve Lame Back, Sciatica in Back and Legs, Rheumatism, Burning and Scalding Urine, Painful Urination, Weak or Strained Kidneys, and always prevent taking cold in the kidneys and bladder.Every box is sold with a itive guarantee to give prompt relief or money refunded.Soc.a box, 6 for $2.50.Sample free if you write National Drug and Chemica!

passed, for the purpose of establishing a charitable institution to reclaim white slaves and other women of that class, give them good homes and place them in positions in which they will be self-supporting.More than 200,000 names and addresses of young women in need of the rescue work of the association are in possession of the department of justice.Stanley O.Finch, chief of the United States government bureau investigating the white slave traffic, will be in active charge of the finances, which will be under the control of Mr.Rock- feller and his accociates, largely men of prominence in the business world.PARCEL POST FOR CANADA?À New York Sun story from Ottawa says Postmaster-General Pelleter, after having sent several officials of the department to the United States to watch the workings of the parcel post, has prepared a zone map for Canada, dividing the country into five zones, and is about ready to promulgate an order establishing a parcel post system for Canada.The country is divided into five zones, consisting of the maritime provinces, Quebec, Ontario, the prairie provinces, and British Columbia.Local zones are also established.Rates have not been finally decided, but will probably be the same ns in fhe United States.Total foreign trade (imports and exports) of Canada for 12 months ending November 30, 1912, was 81,005,700 000, à gain of

month the borers must be hanted,\u201d sald the father.\u201cHow often?How long?\u201d asked the boy.\u2018\u2018Once a month dor- ing the opeu seasons\u2014for years.I'm going to leave it to you.\u201d Kpeeling or half lying for hours in the rotting muloh, the boy dug and cut and wired out the small enemies\u2014-for years.He found that once a week was necessary in some periods.Boys went by to baseball and swimming.They called cheerlly across the creek lot, but nelther side spoke of his quitting to go.It was one of his chores.The new orchard was out of sight of the house.But letting a row go till next month, on bad days when ice storms were slanting in, did not occur to him.Many times he left a tree and a big root-channeling borer, his staying power all drained out through the sore fingers, but came back the nextday and the next.It was his chore.When the orchard was well luto bearing and pride, a windstorm destroyed two- thirds ot it.The boy who dug the grabs has since bent patiently at the roots of some other things and seen them tend ubward.Recently he bought those fifteen bounteous apple trees back into the family, and has started his boy on more trees and borers be- bind a windbreak.Chore laws are ancient, simple, and inexorable: Do the thing half feared or dreaded, at the time appointed, without being told again, as well as if the master stood alongeide.Bring in the wood the same when the pile is icebound and go back after the dropped stick.Get the young cattle through the barway, though they break and go around you twelve times and again, and dark comes, and you are crying.Warm your fingers afterward.Don\u2019t tell.The majority of Awerican children bave been rather abruptly bereft of chores! In the morning hours when the soul of childhood lies almost bare in the clear, expectant eyes, from school-out till supper, from supper to bedtime\u2014something more than play is needed.Children feel this and wait, and prowl about for material of a stouter weave, something filbered with the full life roundabout and impending; and, adventuring unguided, they get knowledge and scars.Organized play will not fill this gap in education.Manual training has limitations.But in every home lie neglected means af giving to its youth a etrengthening and character-mak- ing apportionment of the day\u2019s work.Partly because of chores the rural youth, desptte increasing proportion- até disadvantages, will go on regularly to the hard, high places.Land about a home means chores.\u2014Collier\u2019s.NATURE IN MIQWINTER.June, crowned with roses, and October with the riot of color, have their messages.But in the silence and whiteness of midwinter nature is seen in her most haunting way.The great snow world is unrelieved in its dazzling whiteness save for the faintly traced tracks of a rabbit, the tracery of bullrushes or reeds, and a blush of pink at eunset.The silent lake, locked in by brooding hills, presents a somber stretch of pallid ice.The barren elm trees whisper titanic secrets in the winter twilight.The branches of the firs and yews are laden down with clods of snow.Each little twig and stalk along the wayside is a crystal wand as if the magic band of Jack Frost had suddenly transformed it into silver.Hedgerows, gateposts, and stubble take on fantastic shapes.Through the arched boughs of the trees you look upon a vignette of purple skies, white plumes and brown fretwork.The world has taken on nun\u2019s veiling and has gone into retreat maybe in preparation for the resurrection soon to come.Nature is a vestal virgin, thoughtful and silent.In the village churchyard the snow fairies are covering with a white mantle the low mounds even as the birds covered with leaves the soft Uer's.Among the foremost assets of Canada, industrially, stands her forest production.The annual output for 1912 is estimated to be worth $166,000,- 000.During the last 40 years Canada\u2019s forest products bave been worth more to ber by one-third than her farm products.Considering the fact that two-thirde of the country is fit only for timber growth, but for the best structural timber in the world, Cabpa- diane, if they follow out the policy of conservation, just begun, may look forward to her forests as an unlimited source of wealth.Sammy Lichtman, known as the king of Toronto newsboys, has sold a property on the corner of Elm and Elizabeth sts.in the foreign quarter, which netted him a profit of 825,000.Within 18 months young Lichtman is reported to have cleaned up $100,000 in real estate transactions.Commissioner Franklin K.Lane, of California, was elected January 8 by the interstate commerce commission to serve as chairman for

experience of Mothernood is a trying one to most women and marks dis- tinetiy an epoch in their lives.Not one woman in a bundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself.Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at soch times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it fs over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover.Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and à distinct change in the mother results.- There is nothing more charming than à happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty.The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un- condition, and with ample time which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invig- orator of the female organism.In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E.Pink- ham\u2019s Vegetable Compound makes women normal, bealthy and strong.If you want special advice write to Lydia E.Pinkham Medicine Co.(confidential) Lynn, Mass.Your letter will be opened, read and answered by.a woman and held in strict.confidence.ENGINE BARGAINS.1 Olds Gasoline Engine, 85 h Py almost new, run about a year, also | Leonard Steam Engine, 18 b.p., in good repairs, and boiler,
