The Gold That Glitters. DO RICHES MAKE HAPPINESS. OR DOES HEALTH MAKE WEALTH The richest man cannot always bo said to be the most successful, for true success is not possible without happiness.

Burns and Scalds. Postotflce Statistics. That Vermont's po-tal business has shown increased prosperity during the year just passed, will bo seen by toe following figures: The 42 presidential offices in the state had a total of gross receipts last year amounting to $377,408.71. For the fiscal year preceding the total gross receipts were only $377,871.88. These figures, too, it should be remembered, do not denote the entire postal business of the state.

There are a large number of what is technically known as fourth-class postoffices. Their business is not included at all in this reckoning. At Burlington, the largest postoffice in the state, the gross receipts last year were $107,626.60, a very big sum for a Vermont office. The gain over the previous year was very great. In 1897 the gross receipts of the Burlington office wcie $99,792.37.

But the figures for this office are increased all along the line. The government therefore made clear out of the Burlington postoffice last year, the magnificent sum of $36,691.11. This is a gain of almost $7,000 over the previous year.
