like the detached engine that whirls its dizzy

ement Of the brain trembles, like the walls
Of tbe building that the brain itself col
lapses as when the engine flies TO pieces
and that the whols fabric crumbles and falls
before its time. The power of the mill is
the steam-engine, yet nothing about the mill
requires such careful and delicate attention;
the power Of the man is the brain, and one
little overstrain upon it may do IL more harm
than the mangling Of all the limbs. A man
may live, be physically healthy and mentally
brilliant, after all his limbs have been cut of
but the final burden under which the brain
breaks down brings apoplexy, then speedy
death. OF that disease, which fortunately is
no lingering one, probably all hard-workng,
certainly all oycr-worked journalists have
felt those warning ymptoms-vertigo, un-
natural drowsiness, imaginary black specks
floating before the eyes, a sense Of pressure

HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
The NEW FLORENCE OIL SEovE

1.-THE NEW FLORENCE OIL SEOVE
lSupplies long-felt want of the house
keeper everywhere; it relieves the
housewife of half the drudgery of the
kitchen and makes her duties a light
and pleasant task it relieves her from
and to a great extent makes her indie
pendent of, troublesome and unfaithful
servants.
1T IS DURABLE.
Most other oil stoves have been made
either of tin and solder, and are, conse-
quently, are almost certain to become
leaky after a few months use; or OF
common cast-iron, through which coal
oil is sure to ooze. The Florence Stove
is made ct the best cast-iron (thorough-
ly and handsomely galvanized, inside
and QUIT, and fine Russia sheet iron.
ii is made to last
1T is ODORLESS.
No other oil stove has ever yet been
made IN which the disagreeable smell
OF kerosene is not too plainly apparent,
but by means of the patented devices
OF Gen. Edwards the gases are entirely
consumed in the Florence. In rooms
warmed by the Heater the purity and
moisture of the air is most remarkable.
while in the Cook there is no odor to
cast suspicion on the toothsome steak
or the appetizing loaf.
WHAT WILL 1T DO?
The Cook stove, when run to its ut
most capacity, will consume only two
quarts of oil in II hours. There is no
kind OF cooking it wilf not do, and do
better than any wood or coal stove or
range, as the heat is under instant and
perfect control. Bread, cake and pies.
baked by it, are like those baked in the
0ld-fashioned brick oven. In two min
utes after lighting the fire the oven is
at baking heat. With the flames at
about twO-thirds height only, four
loayes, of common size, can be baked
evenly through, with tender crust, in
20 to 80 minutes. Steak can be broiled
quicker and better than over hickory
Goals. Broiling, frying, toasting, stew
ing and roasting can be done with neat
ness and dispatch.
1t is meeting with rapid sale wher-
ever introduced and is everywhere ac-
as the most useful and
improvement of the Centennial
year.
Descriptive circular, showins cuts of
stove and giving prices of same, and
all accessories, will be mailed upon re-
quest by applying to the

The Centennial of the Settlement OF
Moses Warner of Andover

Editor Rutland Globe During the
early mart of this month ! made some ex-
animation of the records of the town OF
Andover VT, cnquired OF such old people
as could find, and went to the cemetery
near ..the Chandler place" and from whal
| could learn, think it is one hundred
wears this spring since Moses Warner my
great grandfather emigrated from Enheid
in the county Of Hartford and colony OF
Connecticut to ''the township Of Andover,
county Of Cumberland, and province OF
New York" and settled on the "Jesse
Townsend lot,' or fright of Jesse Town
send" in the possession Of which Moses
Warner and his descendants have since re-
manned; still 1t may be one hundred and
one wears. AS his deed from Amos Babcock
hears date, Dec. 10, IVA, and is the third
deed on record in that town but my grand
mother Hutchinson once told me that she
was three wears old when her father (hoses
Warner) came from Enfield 10 Vermont.
II am right in my recollection this Is the
"centennial year. Of his settlement, and his
descendants should meet on the "oid MONT,
| stead" during the coming huin"ei "uu
beg leave through the GLOBE TO make 'his
suggestion to them.
The first deed on record IN Una. loml
bears date October lS, l710. and was re
corded January l, 1881, 10y Moses war
ner Rgt." NV grandfather WAS the tirs
town clerk of Audover, and continued II
that office until 1900, and was proprietor
clerk for longer time think, and hi
writing and records show that no was wei
used to pen The town and proprietor
record of Vermont reports from vol. /, L
AZ both inclusive, are in an excellent stat
of preservation. Andover has been yer,
fortunate 10 the cnolce Of her various oil
ficers from first to last, and the yonnPes
and last clerk, Mr. Gutlerson, WIZ INN
prove not to be "least,' and II they zee
him In office long enough, will be respec,e
| for "his weight of years" as well as ior d
