Hiding at Island Pond for which the are, no doubt, duly grateful. There must be a perennial candidate for lieutenant governor hiding in the woods in or about Brattleboro, judging by the way the Phrenix furs up its back and shows its teeth every time the sub ject is mentioned. With Speaker Proctor out of the gu bernatorial race, it looks like a straight contest between Dr.

W. S. Webb and Gen. J. G.

McCullough with both in at the finish, no distance flags and no with drawals. King Edward of England honored the flag of our country by standing while Sousa's band played "Star Spangled Banner." If American audiences would do likewise it would not only be a pretty custom but would also be a lesson in patriotism to a younger generation. The Vergennes Enterprise doesn't like Vermont's below-zero weather. 1 It says: "Certain state papers are finding fault with Dr. Webb and General McCullough because they don't live in Vermont the whole year 'round.

How many Ver-monters do, who can afford to spend the season elsewhere?" STATE PRESS. Spanking Pro and Con. The Vergennes Enterprise sighed recently over the rut into which the journalistic luminaries of the state had fallen, and cried out for the cooling comfort of an original idea. The brethren have of late broken away from stereotyped forms in consideration of the subject of spanking. Some of these expressions seem to be animated by childhood's recollections which will never pass away.

The Morrisville News and Citizen expresses an admiration for the hand-spanked boy, and a belief in his advantageous start in a strenuous life. The Newport Express Standard observes: "We do not speak of spanking from the experience of a father but rather as a son who was spanked," and the Northfleld News is moved to remark that the editor of the Newport (Jon-temporary "must be a great object lesson on the spanking question either for the spankers or the anti-spankers." The Barre Times, whose editor is young, and who evidently remembers some things more poignantly than others, "The greatest trouble with spanking is that it too often represents ill temper or indigestion on the part of the parent rather than wilful wrong doing on the part of the child." The St. Albans Messenger has held aloof from this discussion, but may be heard from when another symposium is in order a decade or less hence, the scion of the Greene household not having appeared until last Monday night.

Orders executed on the Boston and New York Stock Exchanges for the purchase or sale of The booth is artistically arranged with Japanese banners and curtains and cov ered with a gigantic Japanese umbrella. There is a case containing court robes owned and worn bv a Chinese mandarin. These interesting relics were obtained in unina auring the late unmese war Dy a member of the firm. There is a Japa nese armor used during the time prior to 1860.

There is a general display of cof- iees ana teas, snowing all tne dilterent packages made by the firm. One of the most unique is the "Native tea." so called, direct from Formosa where it was packed by the natives in tin cans made by them by hand. There is a handsome lithographic copy of Abbott Graves' painting of the old-fashioned New England grocery store, the original of which is owned by the firm. Then about the walls of the booth in place of the tinie- nonored mottoes of "what is home without a baby" and the like, are appro priate legends like these, "One pound of Chase Sanborn's tea makes 200 cups. Can't you afford it at this price?" and "200,000 cups of Chase Sanborn's co'- fee are drank every day in the year.

Comment is unnecessary." Samples of teas and coffees are given away and hot conee is served. A C. Bnggs of Boston is in charge of the exhibit assisted by Miss Elsinore Brock and Miss Ethel Pierce. Austin Young and Company. If you want to see two hundred dif ferent kinds of fancy biscuits, don't fail to visit the display of Austin Young near the middle of the hall.

There are biscuits for everyone from baby to grandma, sweet or plain, frosted or otherwise, representing the package goods and fancy brands now -sold by nearly every first-class grocer. Some people have conscientious scruples about dealing with trusts. Such people will be interested to know that this firm is the largest independent concern outside the trust, so that il "you needa jinjer you can ge; it, on easy terms with your scruples and with no sacrifice of quality. The whole display is a most complete and wholesome one. Samples are freely distributed, and many boys and girls of a larger growth come back for a second helping.

The exhibit is in charge of J. G. Young, a member of the firm, assisted by W. F. Smith of Burlington, agent for this territory, and Miss B.

E. Lobban of Boston. Vermont Magazine Agency. Good reading matter was never so cheap as at the preseit time. The New York Tribune, in Gre-iley's time back in '49, used i cgt th California gold- iners 50 cents a wtek.

They were glad to get it at that price. Today it can be obtained for two years for that price. Other papers aid magazines are proportionally cheap. While the price has been cheapening from year to year, the quality of the mateiial used is constantly growing better. All these things are practically demonstrated at the Food Fair booth of the Vermont Magazine Agency of St.

Johnsbury, where Manager Rice, or his Miss Carrie Caswell, is ready to quote prices and take subscriptions. Ripcblican sub scriptions or orders lor extra papers may be left here and will receive prompt attention. W. W. Sprague, the general agent of the National Life Insu-ance is distributing some attractive calendars from this booth.

George Rannej, Grocer. An attractive booth tn the south side is that of George Raniey, grocer. It contains many things of interest to housekeepers teas, coffees, canned goods and a general line of grocerv goods. In flours, Pillslury's best pastry and Marvel brand, nanufactured at Lacrosse, hold imminent places in the display. The exhibit shows the staple goods to be fouid in one of St.

J.ulinsbury's up-to-dati supply houses and speaks much fur enterprise of its proprietor, who, we believe, has been in business iu this Iinelonger than any other merchant in tnwi, with possibly a single exception. The Rauney booth is charge of Walter Pi t. Lougee Brottv-ri Smytlie. In the center of the south aisle is the exhibit of Lougee Brithers Smytlie. It is a handsome one aid catches the eye of every visitor by tie richness of the materials of which itjis composed and the artistic taste displayed in the ar rangement.

Ihere ae handsome samples of draperies, lacecurtains, rugs and upholstery goods, aid all are arranged to the best advantage: The exhibit is in charge of C. C. Loi ki and R. J. Cramer of the company's canet department.

The Glenwod Range. In a handsome red iooth at the right of the south entrance is the exhibit of Glenwood ranges, stoves and heaters made by that hustlhg Railroad street dealer, Henry J. Goilrich. There are live stove kinds in allin the display and the fussiest liiiusewiftin Vermont would oiler no objections ifone of them was to be installed in her home. They are all as bright and shin' as good materials highly polished can make them.

An Interesting feature o1 the exhibit is a sectional model of an entire house, showing a (ilenwod furnace in the basement and its onnections in the different rooms of WKll.amn. intuit dwelling. Kaeh rum is conmletelv furnished and there i an air of cheer and warmth about evn this little model which ulono cuines, tie dealer the use uf a Kanlut'iCare. I' the visitor at the fair lias made the tour of the hal as Indicated by this last to attract his attention before leav ing the hall is that of C. F.

Ranlet, the Railroad street caterer, which occupies a sn little corner near the door at the south entrance. He is prepared to serve hot lunches of all kinds, ice cream and fresh candies to all visitors. It is need less to say that he is doing a rushing uusiness. Attractions for the Week.

A few of the shop windows are already so decorated as to show to the most ignorant what season is niraost here.

Field Rowell has a very attractive window full of pictures. One of the wiudows at Currier pharmacy is adorned with pret- tv bottles of choice perfumes. Dolls, games, tops, and an assortment of the season's novelties with a miniature tiger make the windows at E. N. Kan dall's store a charming suggestion of the things within.

H. A. Belknap's window has a sedate old owl admiring the pretty china and silver around him. Perfumes and comb and brush sets make the win dow in Landry's drug store a sight pleas ing to the eye. Lattice work of red, green, yellow and white bebe ribbon in Ritchie's window calls attention to the pretty novelties which are there ar ranged.

Not the least attractive windows in town are those at E. L. Hunt Fancy articles of all kinds are seen in one window, while in the other. a merry-go-round with dolls of all des criptions as riders, delight the eyes of tne children. D.

What a Purenu Really I. When parchment was used for writing and whei bookbinding was in Its Infancy and a bound book was a costly luxury, it was the custom to place the book on a piece of cloth or a strip of wool in order to prevent the binding from possible damage on the rough wood of the table. Those who had to deal with money also had a strip of cloth on the table or counter so that the coins should not roll. This strip was called "bureau." In course of time the custom changed, nnd tho snme word was appl'ed to the writing table covered with jreen or other colored cloth and at length descended to the modern table with the center protected by leather. As an office contains oue or more of these tables it Is not difficult to understand that the name should, iu one country, have been given to the room that contained the bureau.

London Standard. Docrlbcd. A schoolmnstcr was endeavoring to make clear to his young pupils' minds the meaning of the word "slowly." Ho walked across the room In the manner the word Indicates. "Now, children, tell me how I walked." One little fellow who sat near the front of the room almost paralyzed him by blurting out, torhy It la Important The Moat Available Methods. Professor Phelps of Connecticut has an article in a recent Massachusetts crop report upon irrigation in humid climates which may be of interest to many eastern farmers.

His reasons for the importance of irrigation to New England farmers are: First, the uneven distribution of the rainfall and the occurrence of frequent severe droughts during the growing season; second, the large amount of water used by all crops and especially by most crops of high market Value; third, the large amount of water lost to the plant by leaching and by evaporation from the soil; fourth, the high value per acre of many of the crops best adapted to New England; fifth, the high price of lands and the changed conditions of agriculture: sixth, thei many small streams and ponds by means of which irrigation may bo made practicable at small expense. The cheapest method of irrigation Professor Phelps finds to be from ponds so located that water can be taken from them to lower ponds In open ditches. Perhaps the use of rams is the next cheapest when available. Good windmills on high ground, with a large storage tank, may do work enough to water three to six acres. When water is only wanted for a short time on crops that give a good profit, steam may be used economically to pump the water.

Naphtha or gasoline engines of five or six horsepower are economical of fuel and easily operated, while of lighter weight than coal engines. The oldest method was to let the water into a furrow between the rows at the upper end of the field and back through the next furrow until the lower rows are reached. A man w'th a hoe is needed to remove obstructions and direct the course of the water. SHEEP RAISING. Conditions That Make It Profitable.

Lambs For Curly Spring Market. The first essential in sheep husbandry is to have a large, warm, dry basement facing the south and east. The sunlight can get into this and be of un told benefit iu keeping the sheep quar ters in good condition. It is also very desirable to have the sunlight for sheep and lambs during cold weather. If you have a hundred ewes, divide your barn space into four parts.

When the lambs begin to come, transfer the ewe and lamb to another pen, and keep filling up the pens as fast as the lambs appear, keeping the older ones together. This will prevent injury to the young ones. See that the pens are well bedded with straw and that the ewes get plenty of salt and fresh water. Silage from corn is probably the best feed for sheep. It should be cut after the corn has glazed.

Feed this morning and night, and at noon feed roots and hay. Do not give more than the sheep will eat up clean every time. The lambs should begin to come about the middle of December or Jan. 1. The basement should be warm enough so that the temperature will reach 65 degrees during the warm part of the day.

Of course sheep must have plenty of fresh air, but be sure fiat drafts do not strike them. Let the lambs run out in the yard as much as possible, and when old enough to wean put them into a pen by themselves and give them cornmeal, bran and all the silage they will eat. By this treatment the lambs will be ready for early spring market, says an American Agri culturist correspondent. Colony Poultry House. This is an excellent colony house for hens or growing chickens.

The con struction appears plainly in the cut, from The Farm Journal. There is a closely protected room for roosting and laying, if used for hens, but one In stantly accessible. Eggs can be gather- COLONT HOUSE FOB HENS OR CHICKS. ed from the outside through the open-lugs at tho end. The space behind the netting and below the second floor gives protected space for the fowls or chicks during a storm or shower.

For chicks a roost can be placed In both compartments above, the doors being left open and netting placed across the front. This gives protection and ventilation also. The height in front Is four and a Imif feet. Agricultural Brevities. rrovide soil for next spring's hotbed now.

Worcester Salt. At the front of the hall facing the stage and the north aisle is a pretty little house made of bags of Worcester salt and tastily trimmed with flags. This is the food fair distributing point of Worcester salt "the salt that has not lost its savor." The booth is in charge of E.

E. McGaffey of Barnet, assisted by Mrs. F. O. French of St.

Johnsbury and they have 5000 sample bags of salt and any quantity of advertising natter and souvenirs for distribution among the visitors Bumford Baking Powder. In the middle center facing the stage is the industrious demonstrator of the Rumford Chemical company of Boston baking biscuits and dainty rolls which he serves hot with butter to show the superior qualities of his baking powder. While you are allowing the mouthful of Discuit or roll to melt on your tongue. you will notice that the booth over which E. L.

Griggs is the presiding genius is one of the handsomest of the fair. It is daintily "upholstered" in shrimp pink and nue green and if you call once, you'll want to call again. E. M. Taft.

The other booth in the bald-headed row next the stage is handsomely trimmed in heliotrope and white and is occupied by St. Johnsbury's hustling wholesale grocer, E. M. Taft. There is an attractive display of general grocer ies, including an especially fine line of canned goods.

This booth is in charge of Mrs. A. IS. French, who successfully the good qualities of tjala. da teas, samples of which, both in packages and hot in dainty cups, is freely distributed.

Don't -'round this corner" without sampling a cup of "Salada." S. I. Atwood, Caterer. In the convenient corner of the hall, south of the stage, is the dainty white booth of Atwood, the caterer. Here are displayed baker's goods, fresh candies and delicious ice cream.

Samples of ice cream are distributed free and the many Oliver Twists in the crowd would gladly hold out their dish for more, but well, it all goes to prove that Atwood does make good ice cream and we always do want a second plate if we can get it. Mrs. S. D. Atwood is in charge of the booth and is assisted by William Chesley and Miss Lulu Patterson.

Salad Dressing, Cheese, Tea-ette. I There is a handsome double booth on the south side of the hall where, the su perior qualities of Royal Salad Dressing, Luncheon Cheese and Tea-ette are dem onstrated by Miss Harriette B. Daniels and Miss Jeannette Weiler. Those who ought to know what they are talking about say there is no better salad dressing on the market than the Royal, and we know we never tasted a luncheon cheese which rilled the bill as well as that exhibited by representatives of the M. F.

Carney company o'f Buston at the food fair. It was our kind. Try it. Then there's the tea-ette. It isn't little tea, as we supposed from the name, or mock tea, or anything of that sort, but simply tea that is nut injurious because it is tea with tannin and other injurious qualities removed.

It is, of course, pure and the samples served make I he noisseurs smack their lips as if they en joyed it. The Sterling Range. The visitor to the fair entering the hall by the north entrance, finds at the right near the door the practical exhibit of the Sterling stove company, represented by C. H. Goss, the wrll-kuowu local iiardware dealer.

A Sterling range is set up and in operation and one does not have to take the word of the demoustra-torforit, although she speaks with a frankness which carries conviction of truth, in speaking of the merits of the Sterling outfit. Five hundred loaves of bread made and baked on the spot are being given away. It is claimed lor the Sterling that there never has been a range within the knowledge of man that could tackle a barrel of Hour and turn it into crisp, delicious loaves of bread so quickly and so well. We are not pre pared to dispute the statement, especially in view of the appetizing samples pro duced in evidence. Clark's I'hotographs.

In the next booth are tastily arranged many fine samples of the photographic work of C. II. Clark, the Eastern avenue artist. In the center of the collection is an elegant sepia water color of President McKiuley in a handsome frame. There are several large 14x17 panels of local Queen Esther characters.

A large frame contains 110 cabinet photos of St. Johnsbury business men and another the cabinet pictures of the Academy class of 19U2. Still another frame is filled with uby pictures of the students and business men and presidents of tomorrow. If anyone can get a good, sober picture of a laughing baby, or a laughing picture of a sober baby, Clark is that man. This booth distributes some pretty calendars.

Atwood' Kisses. On the left of the north entrance is W. B. Atwood's candy booth, He is not afraid to show the way they are made and he need not be fur they contain oulv the best ot material. If the regular den tist is nut at nana, tins is the best place In town tu get your sweet tooth filled.

Atwood's kisses have come to be as staple as wheat in all the towns around and are lu growing demand. Tuns of them are made every year and the supply can ever overstock the market. Charles '''iw and Miss Laura Huberts are as-bis; uts iu the, Atwood booth and are kept busy supplying the customers. Chase A Sanborn' Good.
