1 presidents who have been free users of the veto power king presidents, and their opposites congressional presidents. The most striking examples of the kin? president are the two democrats, Jackson and Cleveland, and the two republicans. Tohnson and Grant; the most striking examples of the congressional president are the two democrats, Tefferson and Monroe. and the two republicans, Lincoln and fticiuniey. "King presidents have been in spired by the idea that thev were the special and peculiar represent atives ot the people chosen to pro tect the people against other rep resentatives, writes G.

Iv. Hunter in Ainslee's Magazine for April." Jackson, being able to persuade the people that he was richt. creat- ly exalted the authority of the chief magistrate. When one con gress toueht him. the oeoole sent him another that was submissive.

Johnson could not command the support ot, the people, and by his attempt at absolutism exalted the power of congress. Grant, thoueh the idol of the people to the end, could not get a submissive congress. Cleveland, who was swept into office bv a wave of popular protest against existing political abuses, retained the admiration of the people well into the second term. No president ever treated congress with such disdain as he. RESTAND HEALTH TOflOTHER AND CHILD Me.

Battled a Five-Ton Canting- Over the Ice of Lake ChainpUln Showed Good Nerve in Tight The base of the big stone crush er for the use of the Rutland-Ca nadian railroad at Grand Isle has reached its destination although the moving of it was attended with some exciting circumstances The article in question, which is an iron castning in the shape of an immense bowl, weighs five tons. F.

H. McCale of Burlington had the con tract. The castine was started on its journey over the ice diawn bv three double teams. Blocks and rigging were also taken along to hoist the crusher in case it tipped over. It was decided at first to po by way of Milton, but this route was abandoned on account of the big snow drifts and the bi? load left the lake shore near Colchester Point.

An immense crowd of farmers gathered to witness the event which was bound to be interesting; for all had predicted that the big mass 01 iron would go to the bot torn of the lake in short order The three teams of horses were placed about 100 feet in front of the sled on which the casting was riding, the tongue of the sled be ing attached to a big rope about 100 feet long, the other end of which was fastened to the sleigh the horses were drawing, contain ing the hoisting pulleys, blocks, etc. Two men guided the s'eds carrying the casting and Mr Me Cale stationed himself at the rear end of the sleigh with a sharp axe ready sever the rope in an instant if the load should break through the ice. A lung train of teams followed to be i-resent when the ci usher fell through. It tipped over three times on the way over, but each time was set right again. Once when they were crossing a big crack, the ice on one side began to sink and the water came up around the crusher.

The men guiding it called out for Mr McCale to cut the rope, but he held on a minute longer and the crack was safely crossed. The casting reached South Hero in safet after a five mile jjourney over the ice. $IOO Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that 1-Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fiaterniiy. Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up ie constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative power that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. L.

W. S. Say. Underbill. Manurial Resources of.

the Farm. The recent stiarp advances in the price of crude stock used for purposes, nocably those fur nishing nitrogen, make it WiSTT 1 important than ever that the farmer look after the manurial re' sources 01 his farm. He must take more care to avoid unneces sary losses of plant food through careless methods ot handling ma nure. It should be remembered that as a rule on dairy farms commercial fertilizers should supplement and not replace barnyard manure. It is furthermore true that the better the quality of the manure the less plant food will have to be purchased to keep the soil in a fail condition for crop production.

liquid manure from cattle is richer in the amount as well as the quality of the nitrogen than is the solid. It follows that measures should be adopted whereby this portion can be saved and added to the solid manure so that both may play a prominent part in soil fertility. In stables where no provision has been made for collecting and storing it, this is best done by the use of absorbents. While straw is generally used for this purpose yet muck and peat are superior. Beds of muck and peat are quite generally scattered over the state and from analyses made at the experiment station many are found to be capable, when dry, of absorbing large amounts of moisture.

These are also rich in organic nitrogen arid are valuable as a source ot hu mus, as well as arj absorbent; and the decomposing organic matter serves to liberate mineral plant food already inthsoil, i. potash and phosphoric acid. They also improve the mechanical condition of many soils. Where the manure is rot immediately applied to the land it should be so kept that it will not be exposed to the leaching or dis solving action of rain, as this necessarily causes a deterioration in value.

Wheeler of Bellows Falls has perfected a collar and cuff starcher, after three vears of experimenting. During this time Mr Wheeler has constructed six machines on entirely different principles.
