vacuum in q Geisler's tube improved,
the dark space surrounding the negative
pole increased, and he was ultimately
enabled to carry exhaustion SO far as to
make this dark space equal to the whole
length of the tube, in other words, he re-
moved so many of the molecules form
ing the inclosed gaseous matter, that, i,
like the bees in the hive, they could pass
from end to end without collision When
this point was reached, the residual
matter within the tube exhibited entire
ly new phenomena: the violet light of
the electric discharge disappeared, and
that which had been well called radiant
energy took its place. 1t was soon found
that particular degree of exhaustion
was most favorable for the display of
this new force. The vacuum might be
so perfect that the discharge would not
pass at all; on the other hand, it might
be too low, in which case the violet light
of the ordinary discharge may be seen.
The best point is reached when one-mil-
ionth part of the atmosphere remains in
the tube. . ......

Lord John Mannershas, we think, con-
ferred an obligation on many classes of the
community by his system Of Post Office
orders. These are to be in four sorts,
for sums, respectively, of 2s. 3d., 5s.,
1Os, and 15s. The charge on the first
two classes will bs Id. per order, and
double that amount on the other two.
So far, the new system differs only slight
.ly from the one now in existence. The
real improvement is that any person may
keep supply Of these new orders on
hand and fill them in with the names of
the payees and the addresses Of the Post
Offices where he wishes payment to be
made. On presentation to Postmaster,
that funetuary will require q receipt to
be signed, either by the payee himself, OF
by some person properly authorized to
act on his behalf. The Postmaster may
also call upon the payee to oindorse the or
der itself, even after the receipt has been
signed, should he have any doubt about
the identity Of the person presenting the
orders. These formalities being
complied with, the amount stated
in !. the order is handed over
and the postal authorities will then
be considered free from responsibility
whatever mischance may afterward com,
to light. These orders may also b'
crossed like banking checks, and wher
thus dealt with they become payable, il
presented by 3 banker, at any money
order Office in the United Kingdom, ever
when the name Of some particular offic'
has been inserted.

THE VERMONT sTEwAaT.
Details OF His Suit against Judge
Hilton.


Woodstock (va) standsrd1
The venerable Alexander Stewart, Of
Cavendish, who started out to contest
the will of his cousin, Alexander 7. Stew
art, of New York, but who was bought
of, as was supposed, by a few weeks en-
tertainment at the Metropolitan Hotel
and some fair promises, has now brought
suit against Judge Hilton, laying his
damages at $500, 1000, and levies upon
all the Stewart property in this town,
including the factory, the boarding
house, the tenement houses, and the
Woodward homestead, on Mountain
avenue. As we understand it, he sets up
that he was taken to New York and kept
at the Metropolitan Hotel for long
of time, namely, seven months, surround
ed by the agents and emissaries of the de-
fendant, and, being an old and infirm
man, was persuaded by them to discharge
his attorney, who had commenced pro-
ceedings to contest the will of his de-
ceased cousin, and to engage in his stead
an attorney provided by the said Hilton,
and who was in his interest; that the in
ducement held out to him for abandon
ing his pursose to contest the will was
the promise of farm in Cavendish, as
good dresses for his wife as Stewards
store contained, and $1,00O,000 in mon
ey; that except the purchase of a small
farm for him for 81, 500, and little live
stock for the same, all these obligations,
voluntarily assumed by the defendant,
are unfulfilled. Deputy Sheriff Hewitt
levied on the property Tuesday, and the
writ is returnable to the May term OF
the Windsor County Court. Plaintiff Is
attorneys are Chittenden & Hub
bard, of New York, and John
F. Dean, of Cavendish. 1t need
not be matter of surprise il
the plaintiff should make out good deal
of case against Hilton. At any rate,
there are numerous transactions during
the past two years, about which there
can be no question, that tend to establish
the claim he makes in the present pro.
ceeding. Meanwhile, it is worth while
to state that the original mill property,
which does not include the Mountain
avenue residence and several tenement
houses, is under mortgage to the Windsor
Savings Bank for $4,000, all it will be
worth in little while if it is not occu
pied and kept up.

WHY CHINAMEN DRINK TEA.
As q NervIne. as Stimulant and
as a Blessing.
Professor Williams Lecture.

Professor Williams Leeture.]
If the sanitary effects of tea upon the
system are so great and wholesome its
effects since its general introduction
among Occidentals can not be overlooked.
The domestic, quiet life and habits of
the Chinese owe much of their strength
to the constant use of this beverage, for
the weak infusion which they sip allows
them to spend all the time they choose
at the tea table. If they were in the
habit of slipping weak whisky in the
same way, misery, poverty, quarrels and
sickness would take the place of thrift,
quiet and industry.
The general temperance seen among
them is owing to the tea much more
than any other cause. One who remem-
bers of the carousing described in Scott's
novels, and compares those scenes with
what would now be considered good So
ciety, will acknowledge an improvement,
and tea has had much to do with it. One
of Wilson's stories in "Lights and Shad-
ows of Scottish Life" of the same date,
about eighty years ago. makes one of the
characters lay great stress on the COM
plete disuse Of tea as one of the prime
means Of success in life. But it has won
its way more and more, till in the present
generation the associations that cluster
around the tea table form an integral
part of the social life among English
speaking people.
One of the most likely means to re-
strict the use Of spirits among them is to
substitute the use Of warm beverages of
all kinds by those whose system has not
become vitiated. I think tea is one of
the greatest benefits to the Chinese,
Japanese and Mougolians, and its uni
versal use, for at least fifteen centuries,
throughout their territories, has proven
its satisfaction as nervine, stimulant
and beverage. If one passing through
the streets of Pekin. Canton or Ohoska
and seeing the good-natured hilarity of
the groups of laborers and loiterers
around the cha-kwaus and the cho-yas Of
those cities, doubts the value Of tea as a
harmonizer and a satisffer Of human
wants and passions, it must be taken as O
proof Of his own unsatisfed cravings

Most persons have seen the well-known
Geissler's vacuum tubes, and are acquaint-
ed with the appearances presented by the
discharge. The space separating the
positive and negative poles is filled With
violet-colored light, but a close inspection
shows that the immediate neighborhood
Of the negative pole is surrounded by q
dark region. The violet light is pro-
duced by collisions among the molecules
Of gas left after exhaustion, which are
excited into abnormal activity by the
passage Of the electric current.
These molecules, as will afterward ap-
pear, stream out from the negative tow
ard the positive pole, and the small dark
spot around that pole represents their
mean free path, or, in other words, the
distance which they traverse before COM
ing into contact with their fellows. So.
at least, Mr.. Crooke's imagination led
him to suppose; and in the verifcation
of this brilliant guess, he has made the
world acquainted for the first time with
that radiant condition Of matter which
Faraday prevised. Faraday, as we have
said, wanted means to prove the truth OF
his anticipation, for the vacuum Of an
ordinary Geissler's tube is far more per-
feet than any which could be produced
in his day by the old fashioned air.

MAKING GOOD PORK.
Live Stock Journal.

We have, within year or two past.
frequently discussed the method of feed
sng and general management essential to
producing the most healthy swine and
the best quality of pork. we have en-
phasized the fact that breeding stock es-
pscially should not be subject to the
forcing. high pressure system that so
generally prevails among our best feed
ers, and we have asserted that this same
system, while it might be for the present
the most remunerative system for farmes,
was not conducive to the general health
OF swine, nor productive of the best
quality Of pork. The time is coming,
however, when farmers will be compelled
to lock more to the general health and
thrift Of their hogs, on account of the
alarming prevalence of disease among
them. Buyers are already beginning to
discriminate between well developed
we'll fattened, muscular hogs, and the
