POTATO STARCH.-The potato starch fac
tories of northeastern Vermont are reported
to have made the last autumn, IL 900 tons of
potato starch-making home market for
1925 bushels of potatoes, for which the fac
tories paid 25 cents per bushel.
So says an exchange. 1t looks like pref

Gail Hamilton's idea of "Man, VS..
Women is set forth in an article in the
Independent thus:
"Women ought to have more than
an equality. They are heavily weight
ed in the race and ought to have advan-
tage. The husband owes TO his wife
support. The wife does not owe it to
her husband. The law ought to put its
hand into the husbands pocket and take
out enough for the wife's maintenance,
whether he will or not. But cannot
see any reason why it should put its
band into the wife's pocket at all. This
however is only on the ground that wo-
men and men are not equal; that men
have the facilities and women the disa-
bilities for business; that it is a mans
and not woman's to earn money. If
this is not soft men and women are to
be on the same plane-then see not
why the wife should not be responsible
for the husbands support, as well as the
husband for the wife's; why her proper.
ty should not go to pay his debts as en-
tirely, as inevitably as his to pay hers;
why she should not be equally liable
with himself for the support of his chill
dren.n

Ewing,s Finanoial policy.

The following extract from General
Ewing's late speech at Columbus, fur
nishes hisown statement as to the char
acter of the financial policy he desires
to see adopted:
''From the whole system of finance,
past, present, and to come, adopted and
proposed by the Republican party, the
Democracy of Ohio announce q new
departure which wilI.relieve the
people Of much of their burden OF taxes;
leave no heritage of debt to oppress
and enslave our children; and SO estab-
lish and regulate the currency as to
greatly reduce interest, and thus dis
tribute the net increase of wealth fairly
between labor and all forms of capital.
They propose that the General Govern

people, in an issue which shall be a

legal tender equally with coin for all
public and private debts whatsoever,
except where the contract expressly
calls for specie, and with it redeem
the five-twenty bonds; and, to prevent
an undue expansion of the currency,
issue "a three per cent. bond, which
shall be exchangeable at par for legal
tenders at any time, and into which
legal-tenders may, at the option of the
holders, at any time, be converted"
The plan as above expressed, involves
the destruction of all National Bank
circulation, followed by a fearful ex-
pansion, and an Inevitable return to all
the multiplied evils and demoralization
of an inflated currency, inconvertible
except into three-per-cent bonds, and
irredeemable That this policy would
again bring the country into that whirl

when the G. & NJ. V. r. r. is opened to

up to this city, which can bevery large

Lazy Bows.

An exchange says, lazy boy makes
a lazy man as sure as a crooked sapling
makes crooked tree. Who ever saw
a boy grow up in idleness that did not
make q shiftless vagabond when he be-
came a man, unless he had fortune to
keep up appearances? The greatest
mass of thieves, criminals and paupers
have come to what they are by being
brought up in idleness. Those who
constitute the business part of the COM
munity-those that make our great and
useful men-were taught in their boy
hood to be industrious. Boy, take that
pipe out of your mouth and think of
this.

In the Scotch and Irish express trains
only fifteen minutes are allowed for re-
freShments-that is for what at home
wo1ld have been a meal-and if there
have been delays on the road, even
these fifteen minutes are encroached
upon. The French syste N is different,
and better. Some time during the
journey an agent goes through the cars,
takes your orders, telegraphs them
ahead, and on reaching the station,
what you have asked for is handed in,
to be Consumed at your leisure on the
journey; or, descending into the re-
freshment rooms, you find small bask-
cts upon the "buffet, /" containing, with
such refreshments as are most called
for, a knife and fork, napkin and glass.
On each basket is label stating the
contents and prices. The passenger
buys the basket, takes it into his car
rfage, dimes or lunches at his leisure,
and at the next station at which the
train stops hands back the basket, &C.,
to a waiter, and receives for it fixed
price, which is also set down on the
label. This system has just been begun
in England on the Midland express.

A newly fiedged Philadelphia doctor
recently settled in Havanna, ILL.,, and
the first case he had was a boy, who,
while shelling popcorn, got kernel
in his wind-pipe. The doctor examin-
ed the case carefully, looked at the pa
tient's tongue, and then told the father
of the boy to build up hot fire. When
that was done the doctor told him to
take the boy and hold him over the
fire until the kernel was hot enough to
pop out. The father went up stairs, but
while his father was loading the rifle
the doctor escaped.
