these are almost as numerous in the United States as are patent medicines.They quietly endure and ignore the most infernal noises, Owing to the enormous distances one has to frav- erse in the states, one spends a considerable part of one's time on the train and it is this reason which possibly accounts for the fact that Amerl- cans persist in talking on the cars, Mr.Lucas has recently reminded us that Carlyle bequeathed certain books to Hurvard university because of his esteem and regard for the American people\u2014*\u201cparticularly the more silent part of them.\u201d The latter exist not only in the imagination of the Chelsea philosopher.They wire perhaps not very numerous, still they exist, MEAT UNDER PERPETUAL BAN Residents and Visitors on Island of Valamo, Finland, Must Obey Law Centuries Old.Every day is fish day on the little Island of Valumo, Finland, 12 squares miles in aren.Almost ten centuries ago monks of the Greek Catholic church embarked on Lake Ladoga to find a new home and landed oh Vala- mo.A fine old monastery they built and framed a law that from that day on no meat should ever be eaten on the island, Recently several members of the American Red Gross stationed at the Russian refugee camp at Viborg, made a journey to the istand and were entertained at lunch in the monastery built to replace the one destroyed in 1754.The old law is still observed by the 430 monks now living there, From the day they arrive on the island to the day they leave or die no meat is eaten by them.Husky, strong and living to n good old age, tid: lack of ment as food is not apparent in thelr build.For lunch the Americans bad fish in several forms, fried, buked and in soup, but always fish, Hunting is barred, trapping is fa- boo, so that temptation in the shape of ment may never come, Smoking also Is banned, Paper Gown for Physicians.The first design of a paper gown which can be worn by physicians handling transmissible diseases, and then discarded, has been made by Mrs, Annie C.Miley of Mount Alry, Philadelphia.The present garments are difficult of disinfection and have been found to be frequently dangerous sources of contagion, They are also expensive, Mrs, Miley's gown is made of soft white crepe paper and resembles the enveloping garment worn hy Red Cross nurses during the war, Mean Advantage.Chairman (of publie banquet) \u2014Gen- tlemen, before T introduce the next speaker, there will be a short recess, giving you all a chance to go out and stretch your legs, Guest\u2014Who is the next speaker?Chairman\u2014RBefore telling you who he is 1 would rather wait until you come back.\u2014Life.Police! \u201cPear you got robbed last week,\u201d commented Jinks, \u201cLet's see,\u201d meditated Binks.\u201cOh, ves, now that I think of it, the landlord «did call around to collect the rent.\u201d \u2014American Legion Weekly.Presents From Editors.\u201cIt ix my one regret that I didn't become a poet.\u201d \u201cHad you done so, my boy, you would have regrets by the hundred.\u201d \u2014Boston Transcript.VERMONT ITEMS The census gives Vermont 24 Indians.Richford is forming a machine gun company.The Baptist Church of Derby is being repainted.Doris Eddy is clerking in the store of O.L.Kelley of Derby.Mre.L.A.Edwards of Newport is home from Brightlook hospital.Raspberries are very plentiful ipo some sections of the state this season.The State Hotel Association has adopted \u2018Boost Vermont\u201d as its slogan.West Dummerston will rebuild ita community house, destroyed by fire in 1918, VERMONT ITEMS Mr.and Mre.John Taylor of Detroit, Mich., are visiting at Derby.The Boott Toy Co.of Newport is closed down on aocount of the extreme beat.Mre.Levi Kelley and granddaughter Frances Kelley ot Derby are at Old Orchard Beach.Mre.W.A.Kelley of Derby is entertaining ber sister, Mre.Bert Bugbee of Pittsfield, Mass.Mr.and Mrs.P.J.Farrell and family o!

miles away and about 500 feet above the village level, is its source of supply, and today lawpe and gardens can have all they require.Up to the present no restrictions have been placed upon its use, and the annual rate is far below apy neighboring village.While Barton is certainly favored by natural physical conditions, it must have citizens with a vision.Some man took a long look ahead when about 25 years ago he purchased Clyde River Falls at West Charleston for 8500, making possible the comfort of so many homes and business places.VERMONT ITEMS The John W.Bimpson memorial library of East Oraftebury was dedicated July 3.Miss Jean Simpson of New York City, daughter of John W.Simpson, gave to the library 1,200 books.Dr.Motte of New York made the presentation address.It is surprising how some people and communities will rise from disaster, no handicap being too great to overcome.The village of East Oharleston has really found its pace since ite terrible fire;

United States Department of Agriculture.As u result of u persistent campaign for the control County Agent Inoculating Pigs With Hog Cholera Serum.of cholera and strict organized effort to eradicate it, there has been u remarkable decrease in the diseuse in the county during the last two years.In 1917 the loss from cholera in the county, according to the county agent, was about $10,000.In 1018 it was a little less than $5,000, and in 1919 it was about the same.In 1920, however, only three cases occurred in the county, which leads the swine breeders to believe that if thelr efforts to control the disease are continued cholera can be practically eradicated.CLUB MEMBERS SECURE PIGS Registered Animals Given to Boys and Girls in Mississippi\u2014Scholar.ship at End.A public-spirited man in Fayette county, Mississippi.gave six registered pigs to the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 pig- club work last year, with the understanding that each one who received a pig was to glve back to the club one pig from the first litter and one from the second.The donated animals were drawn for by members from each beat and one from the county at large.The recipients were very proud of their pigs.The six from the first litters were distribute.in December.If the plan is continued for five years it is estimated that 204 registered plgs will be given away at the close of that time, and it is hoped that purebred hogs will be found on every farm in the county.If these plans mature as is hoped.the 204 which will be available for gifts at the end of the five years will be put up at auction and the proceeds used for a scholarship to the State Agricultural and Mechanical college, which will he awarded yearly to the winner of the county pig- club championship.ALFALFA AS HORSE ROUGHAGE Plant Is High in Protein and Minerals 4 and Is Especially Good for Young Stock.Alfalfa receives great favor as a horse roughage.It Is high in miner als and protein and is especially good for young

Is Haunted.Corner sites are usually at a premium in any great city, but l\u2019aris hus one that has remained unoceupied for nearly 80 years simply because French carpenters, bricklayers and masons refuse to complete a structure which was begun there and which they declare {8 haunted.The corner is the rue de la Villette, In 1892 the owner of the plot decided to build a three-story brick apartment house, but hardly had work started on the walls when workmen found the body of a woman who had been cut into pieces and buried in a basket.The laborers threw down their tools and refused to work, A new crew was hired, but the first day they were at work a scaffold fell, killing one of the workmen and in- Juring another, This convinced the superstitious ones in the force thut the place was haunted and they induced the contractor to give up the job.For 22 years the construction work was halted and then another contractor tried the task, but the following day the war began, and the contract was recalled.Since then the owners of the property have refused to go near the site, although they are willing to sell it if a buyer can be found who will assume all the risks.READ BIBLE TO GET PENNIES Woman in State of Washington Mas Found That Scripture Study May Be Purchased.There is complaint that people no longer read their Bibles.Mrs.Gaches of La Conner has found a way to popularize Bible reading.A few weeks ugo she offered to pay a penny a verse to every child or adult who committed to memory verses from certain chapters in the Bible; And now she is receiving the heaviest mail in La Conner\u2014reports from the children and brethren who have eurned thelr pennies and want them at once, Glen M.Foley writes in the Seattle Post- Intelligencer.It would require one person's time to answer all the letters and mail pennies.Requests have come from all parts of the United States and there have even been applications from foreign countries.Hence, general Bible reading, we note, is only a matter of, going out and buying it.Mr.Rockefeller and others of his fatness might make Bible reading the avocation of the whole country by detaching a few million dollars and turning them into pennies, But will that variety of Bible reading do any good?Will it stimulate the renders who are after pennies to follow the Christian life?Or is it stm- ply estimated that nobody cun read much in the Bible without some of it sticking to him?How to Use Violets.Violet time is at hand.In addition to bouquet making these flowers have a number of uses which might well be more widely known.We are told that the blossom ig a cough remedy, an emollient and a medicine for increasing the perspiration, It is also used in the treatment of varlous inflammatory ill- pesses.A hair tonic may be made from violets by slowly pouring over them oil of sweet almonds, which ab- gorbs their fragrance, and mixing this with a quarter of its volume of 80 per cent alcohol.This emulsion is said to prevent thd hair from coming out if used daily.To perfume linen: Detach the violets from their stems and put them in a small bottle in alternate layers of violets and table salt.When the bottle is half full, seal it hermetically and put it in a corner of the kitchen near the stove.At the end of three weeks the stopper may be drawn and the bottle placed among your linen, will infuse the garments with the fragrance of violets, The next day take the bottle out and re- cork it.The process may then he repeated whenever your linen needs perfuming.\u2014From Le Petit Parisien.Coal on Farms.The United States uses about 100,- 000.000 cords of wood annually for fuel, vf which 80 per cent is consumed in the rural districts.In spite of the fact that most of our farm woodlands oceur In the seventeen states making up New England and the lake states, the farmers and rural population of thls section annually use in excess of 18,000,000 tons of coal.If by substituting wood one-quarter less coal could be burned on farms and one-tenth less in villages, the total saving would amount to nearly 3,000, 000 tons, or between 65,000 and 70,000 carloads.Puzzled Expert.As two friends were

capes, and in all ages have they worn them \u2014in the days when court ladies of the empire covered the indiscretions of their Indian musling with bright grass green capes, glitteringly embroidered in golden garlands; in other days when the prim Colonial Priscilla hid the soft whiteness of her kercBief under a demure gray cushmere cape, as she hurried by with downcast eyelashes; and in far desert countries where dark-eyed women, ldling beside the sweetmment hooths in the bazaars, shrouded their dark beauty in the colorful brilliance of their burnouses\u2014 draped, silken capes.For every woman knows the infinite grace and glamor surrounding a cape and the wearer of a cupe, The crepe capes of today surpass in their charm and vurlety all the capes which have gone before them und

the Appearance of American Seaplanes.One wonders what the Inhabitants of Old Providence {welund thought when seven American seaplanes, with that rending clamor of motor that murks these powerful devices, swooped down on her tiny harbor.The report of the seven fliers is epic in its siw- plivity.\u201cSome of them scemed scared,\u201d suid they.\u201cThey had never seen an nir- plane before,\u201d Life in Old Providence, as it appeared to the marooned sca fliers, is primitive in its simplicity, The 1s- land itself is four wiles long, lying in the midst of the Caribbean sea at a distance of 280 miles from Colon.In its center a wooded eminence rises to what scemed the majestic height of 1,100 feet, The harbor is too tiny and too shallow to permit the entrance of big ships, and so the island's only connection with the outside world is through the semi-occasional visits of a little yawl, which curries freight and passengers each way.Sometimes the yawl gets to Old I'rovidence once in three weeks.Sometimes 1t doesn't.Its schedule depends on freights, the whim of its master, the winds, the\u2019 conveniences of the day.\u201cUsually it brings the malls,\u201d sald the Old

remote protoplasinie organism, that his twenty-times-great-grandfather wins a wire-haired hahoon in the wilds of Abyssinia and other near-Darwinian monstrosities, were all regarded by Sergeant John Burrows of the marine corps as so much \u201cbunk.\u201d Still, his mind was never at rest, The sergeant re-enlisted after the war and was ordered to Guain, The other day a letter was received nt the marine corps recruiting headquarters.It came from Sergeant Burrows in Guam.\u201cAt last,\u201d he stated, \u201cI have discovered where my ancestors have come from.\u201d The sergeant explalned that natives of the island had enlightened him.In accounting for the origin of man, they sald that everything in the world was derived from a certain rock on the island of Guam, which first became human, then a stone, and gave birth to all men.From this islund men were scattered all over the world.They forgot their language and \u201ctalked like fools without understanding one another nor knowing what was sald,\u201d\"\u2014 Portland Oregonfan.Wealth and Happiness.Much of the anxiety and care of these days is needless and springs from an overemphusis of the amount of property necded for happiness, Everything in our country tends to stimulate men toward excessive ambition.Our elimate is rich in oxygen, and is an Irritant to work, The undeveloped resources of our land appeal to cu-

teach the art\u2019 of getting on instead of getting up.Little by little young men feel that it is a disgrace to llve modestly, Avarice is a virus in the blood.Undue ambition is pols- oning the springs of contentment, Youth has forgotten Cervantes\u2019 warnings not \u201cto fly too high toward the sup lest the flame consume the wings.\u201d \u2014Newell Dwight Hiilis.How Many Presidents?Percentages intrigue our funcy.So when we read that \u201c55 per cent of our presidents have heen college men\u201d we wonder how many that was.Twen- ty-seven men have held the office, und on that basis 14,85 were college men.But Mr.Harding may be included and that would indicate that 15.4 were college men, The fractions grow worse; it looks As though someone were he- ing Insulted.There is a further possibility; some rolks reckon Grover Cleveland as the twenty-second and the twenty-fourth president.This duality of Mr.Cleveland would make Mr.Harding the twenty-ninth President.It's a strange thing that in so important a matter, men cannot agree on how many presidents the country has had, And when ene comes to frie.tional Presidents, the tusk of the percentage gatherer proves hopeless, \u2014 Milwaukee Journal, Power in Palm Oil We have thought of palm oll In such peaceful connections as soap stock and massage creams, hut had never nxsoclated it with those devilish stuffs,

roll in the east division of the township of Bolton seems to have stirred up something woree than an ordinary hornets\u2019 nest.The old roll was manifestly unfair.Properties differing thousand of dollars in actual commercial value were listed only a few hundred dollars apart.Last yeur the appraisers made a break, boosting not only properties assessed too low, but some others which had been assessed quite bigh enough.Some of the \u2018show\u2019 farms of the east side which had been listed around two to three thousand dollars were just about trebled.Naturally, perhaps, the owners, who had for years been getting by with very low taxes, resented such a radical change.They assailed the couucil, and a recent session is said to have been so stormy that Mayor Juby was unable to maintain order, and the sitting was abrupt- iy terminated.Some of the dissenters secared counsel, and were on hand with lawyer J.P.Wells of Sherbrooke for the meeting July fourth.Bat it is said the council transacted its business at the home of one of its members, assembling at its regular place of meeting only to snap an adjournment, Such tactics are, of course, indefensible, but it is doubttul if all the blame is on one side.The meetings of a mupicipal council should be open to the public, and ratepayers have a right to present their grievances.But, they should always be able to control their own tempers and to do their part to preserve decent decorum.On the other hand Kaiserism in municipal affaires always works to the ultimate disadvantage of those responsible for ite introduction.It has been tried out in several municipalities in Stanstead | County in years gone by, and all now admit the mistake.There ougbt to be | some means of adjusting the differences between the East Bolton council and the disaffected ratepayers.With a spirit of fairness in the former and a spirit of reasonableness among the latter, there should be no great difficulty in reaching a basis of agreement, unless the appraisera have gotton both parties into a hopeless muddle.Valuators are sworn to appraise property at its actual value.Common practice decrees that such value should, as nearly as possible, be determined by what a property will bring at forced sale.We have heard of sending someone to ask an owner what he will take for his property and then using the price tbus obtained as a baeis for appraisal.That is an absurdity.A man may have a property worth 25,000.00.He may ask $25,000.00 because he does not want tosell.A man may want to sell but he may have absurd ideas as to what he should get.In such cases the matter of sentiment sometimes figures largely, but no appraiser should be influenced by sentiment.His business is to determine real values.If he has not the ability to do so he should quit the job.Guess work in such matters is a dangerous practice.Under no cir- cumatances should a property ever be assessed for more than it would bring in the open market.best ever

Willoughby Lake, the farm formerly owned: by the late A.W.Lyon of West Charleston.The doctor bas removed the rambling old barns and sheds that were on the westerly side of the highway, opposite the house, leaving the view of the Jake from the bouse and grounds \u2018intact, and has added a 12-foot wide veranda to the westerly and southerly sides of the house, making a beautiful place of this ordinary farm house.The following responded to the call to lunch under tbe grove of maples porth of the house: Mr.and Mrs.E.W.Barron and Mr.and Mrs.C.E Hamblett of Barton Village, Mr.and Mrs.James Young of Brownington, Mr.and Mrs.Carroll Davis and Mr.and Mrs.F.M.Sherman of Newport City, Mr.and Mrs.H.A.Clark of Coffeyville, Kansas, Leon J.Bennett of Estherville, Iowa, Olin 8.Olarke of Chicago, Illinois, Mre.Ina Gonyea of Bethel, Vermont, Mre.Flora O.Robinson of Island Pond, Mr.and Mrs.O.M.Carpenter, Mrs.C.R.Counter and Mr.and Mrs.Charles E.Bennett of Derby Line.All but six of these people were school boys and girls at Clyde River academy, West Charleston, from 40 to 50 years ago, and this was about the first of all being together since that time.The cheer and excellent re- treshments made it a rare occasion, anc the setting could not have been better.Everybody seemed to have left formality at home, and the greetings of the school days of nearly balf a century ago could not have been truer por more whole hearted.An estimate of the value of this getting together of these old time friends was well expressed by one of the cool business heads present: \u201cI would not bave missed it for a thousand dollars,\u201d and be had an American money look in his eye when he said it.Too many things occurred during the afternoon to set the funny bone vibrating and now and then to cause a lip to tremble and an eye to express emotion unspeakable, to record bere.The spirit of the gathering was a continual reminder of the homely, yet beautiful saying of Sam Walter Foss: \u201cI would live in a house beside of the road and be a friend to man.\u201d Perhaps, as these old boys and girls journeyed to their own roof trees they held in their hearts a new and sweeter memory of each other, to abide even linto tbe eternal homeland.* GEORGEVILLE The public are all invited to a social held in the'iew barn recently erected | by Mr.Olaf Cass at his place, the J.H.| Holland farm, on
