the Academy Hall, Wednesday evening,
to enjoy sugar festival, given by the

The sugar was fine, being bresoed just
right for waxing. In addition to the
sugar may be mentioned pickles; afford

advanced guard against the jaundioe

AS gratuity we had fine music, vocal
and instrumental. Mrs. G. e. Whitney
and Miss Elsie Jones sang beautiful
Duet, which was followed by charade,
in three acts, prominent in which ap-
peared the two accomplished sisters, Mrs.
Charley Hewitt and Miss Bella Raymen-

by their charming acting. All who par
ticipated, some - or 10 in all, were
praiseworthy.
The Art Gallery, under the direction of
Miss Anna Sergeant, was an entertaining
feature of the evening. Everything was
sweet and satisfactory.

AFFIDAVIT.

On the 23d October, 1914, while board
ing in Providence, r. l., saw two ladies,
fellow boarders-the name of one | well
remember-who firmly believed they
were to ascend to heaven that night, and
appeared very anxious that [, with four
or five other boarders, should go with
them to the general meeting of the Mil
lerites and place of ascension. I had fire.
quently seen these ladies sewing on fine
white goods for several days. They said
to me they were for ascension robes. They
were made longer than ordinary dresses
of that day. My engagements did not
permit me to accompany them to the
meeting; but those who went, one of
them my own brother, since dead, told
me there were over thirty in the compa-
ny of about two hundred that were ready
ao5th their ascension robes on, and that the
excitement was very great.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF EXPERIMENTS.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF EXPERIMENTS.
To few circumstances are We more indebted for
our perfection in science, than to the successful
EXPERIMENTS of practical men This was brought
forcbly home to US the other day, by reading
over the names of individuals who received me-
dals and premiums at the Paris Exhibition. We
were particularly struck with one article which
was awarded prize. In the memoirs of the 'uc-
cessful candidates we find that Mr.. Speer had
been for years, preparing his celebrated Sambuci
Wine, which has since proved so decided a sue
cess. Nineteen years of unwearied labor, close
study, heavy outlay, innumerable experiments,
are a long period to look back on, yet Mr.. Speer
can look with satisfaction on the years so spent,
when he is conscious that his wish has been con-
summated. We glad Mr.. speer has lived to
see his sambuci Wine supersede the abominable
imported trash with which Americans are yearly
poisoned scientific American
Druggists sell this wine. Also Speer's Port

ANECDoTE Oh HENRY STEVENS

ANECDoTE Oh HENRY STEVENS
The following anecdote is related of
Henry Stevens, the well known antigua
rian and the first President of the Ver-
mont Historical Society:
Mr.. Stevens represented Barnet two
years in the State Legislature He was
no speaker, but generally managed to
carry his point by force of native talent
and ingenious surprise. At one time the
Legislature was at deadlock on the ap-
pointment of some officer and neither
party would yield. The opposition con-
tended that the candidate was not equal
to the place. The gentleman from Barnet
gained the floor. "Mr. Speaker" said he,
"may ask if this candidate is the man
who, unarmed, recently Rugged bear to
death ?" "He is" "Then, sir, think
he is not the man to finch under any
circumstances-he shall have my VOTE"
and amid roars of laughter the candidate
was unanimously elected.
