Of village homes these articles are not obtain
able, yet the children eau manufacture many
beautiful decorati )us for the Christmas tree,
in which they will take quite as much pleas
ure as II they were from the fancy shops of
the city.
With few sheets of gilt, blue, scarlet and
silver paper cut into tiny strips four inches in
length and half an inch In width you can
make long chains to entwine from bough to
bough Of the tree. With bottle Of muci.
lage paste the two ends of the strips together
until half Of them are made into rings then
make up some more by slipping one end
through two rings and joining them together
Let the three rings become dry, and Join
them into long garlands Suspend around
the outer branches Of the tree from top to
bottom. Twenty yards will be needed to
trim large tree, twelve for a small one.
These paper chains when once made can be
kept for years If carefully handled. Parch o
large pan of popcorn, and string them into
chains with a needle and coarse thread En-
twine them also about the branches, and after
the presents are distributed break up the
chains into necklaces and throw around the
necks of all the guests.
II you possess a broken looking. glass carry
it to glazier and have it cut into bits three
inches by two. Paste a bit of brown paper
over the back of the glass, and bind the edg-
es with strips of gilt or scarlet and blue pa
pers, and paste bit of ribbon or paper at
the top to suspend them from the boughs
You cannot have too many tiny mirrors.
Purchase a pound or two of English walnuts
and cut them into halves and cut out the
meats. Save them to put into the middle of
each small frosted cake. Purchase also a
pound of sugared caraways, and fill half of
one of the nut-shells with them, and paste on
the other half. Use common glue or gum
tragacanth for paste. Insert bit of narrow
ribbon in any color at the top Of the nut.
Cut small round of gilt paper and cover It
with paste, and wrap it carefully about the
nut, letting the folds Of it lie evenly about the
bit of ribbon. Make as many as you can of
these, for they are the prettiest of rattle
boxes, and everybody likes to possess such
trophy.
Little lace bags made of bobbinet lace or
ash-illusion, by running them together with
scarlet, blue and gold-colored worsteds and
using bit of it for string to draw them to-
gether, are also very pretty and desirable
when filed with nuts, raisins and sugar
plums for the children. Small apples closely
stuck with cloves are also nice to perfume
bureau drawers and dozen or more will not
come amiss upon this most wonderful tree.
A Christ-child or angel, made by dressing
doll in lace and silvered wings, is very dec
orative when fastened to the topmost bough
of the tree. Small candles can have bit of
wire thrust through the lower end by heating
it, and then fasten it securely to the boughs
of the tree. Apples and oranges can also be
suspended with thread wire. Cut rings of
cardboard and slip over the candles, and they
will catch their drippings. Ladies' Floral

The vermont UnlysrsI.y Building.

tfofbes . Letter TO Boston Journal
The recent gift of $40, 900 to the Universi-
ty of Vermont by Mr.. John p. Howard for
the purpose of remodeling the college build
ings (at Burlington) is highly gratifying to
the many friends of the U. V. NJ. The con-
templated Improvements will be commenced
next May on plans and specifications to be
furnished by Mr.. S. S. II. Randall of Rutland.
The building in its present shape is POS feet
long and three stories high, with chapel and
recitation rooms in the central portion and
dormitories at either end. The improve
ments will make the college edifice one of the
finest among the public buildings in the state.
The floors of the wings and the roof will both
be raised, giving another story with dormer
windows. About one-third of each end will
be changed so that the roof will be at right
angles to the line of the main building. At
the centre of each wing tower will be placed.
through which entrances to the college will
be had. The main front of the building will
be used as a chapel, having windows like
church front The dome will be replaced by
a tall spire. The central portion of the build
ing will be made 20 feet deeper. The interior
of the college will also be remodeled and re-
furnished.
The original college building was begun in
1894 and completed in 1905. Gen. Ira Allen
of Burlington may be said to have founded
the institution, having contributed several
thousand dollars as early as 1855 for estab-
fishing the college. The General Assembly
of 1871 granted the charter for the corpora
tion. A square of fifty acres of land was set
of for the buildings at that time The first
building was four stories high, 100 feet long
aud % feet wide at each end. The material
was brick, aud the cost of the building was
$4,000. In 1924 this edifce was burned to
the ground. The people of Burlington then
raised funds toward the erection of new build
ings, and the cornerstone of the present
structure was laid by Gen. Lafayette in 1925.

Last Friday morning, on the north-bound
passenger train, were five as happy people as
one sees in this mundane sphere. A brother
and sister had met after separation of 20
years, and the meeting had been brought
about in Davenport by the little son of the
sister in a most peculiar way. The facts, as
CLEANED from the Democrat, are these One
week ago yesterday the raft steamer Clyde
went into Davenport on her way north, and
Capt. Douglass tied up his boat for a while
in order to permit some of his crew TO go
ashore and make purchases. Among others
who went ashore was Aaron Carter, a RATS
man. The weather was very cold, with a
keen northwest wind. While going along
the street Carter met a poorly y-clad little boy,
who was running along crying bitterly. Car
ter asked him what was the matter, and the
little lad sobbed out "Pm cold" "Come
with me, said Carter, and, taking the boy to
a clothing store, he bought him suit of
warm clothes and pair of mittens. He then
asked the boy his name. aaron Dunlap"
was the reply. Carter was thunderstruck
Aaron Dunlap!" he cried. "Where are
your father and mother? ?" "Father is dead,
the boy replied. "Well, take me to your
mother, then, as quickly as you can" said
Carter The boy took him TO his humble
home, and when Carter entered the house,
the boys mother rushed into his arms with a
shrek that made all the other occupants of
the tenement-house rush into the hall to see
what was the matter Carter had found a
sister he had not seen in almost 20 years, or
since the year 1862, when he went to war
with Maine regiment for his father was
lumberman FROM Maine. She married and
came West the year after, and the family, in
the course of 10 years, lost all sight of her
because her husband turned out badly. He
died in West Liberty, Iowa, 10 years ago,
three months before her youngest child was
born. The joy over this meeting cannot be
described. Carter returned TO the steamer

Although the existence of the naphtha
springs in the neighborhood of Baku, Russia,
has been known for centuries, it is only with
in the last ten years that measures have been
taken for realizing their production by using
it for lighting purposes. From one of the
chief wells the liquid shoots up from foun-
tain, and has formed lake four miles long
and one and quarter wide. Its depth is,
however, only two feet, so that in very
hot summers it is nearly dried up. This

posing spectacle, the thick black clouds of
smoke being lighted up by the glare of the col

The smoke and heat were such as to renders
nearer approach than 1000 yards distance i'm
practicable. Suitable means for extinguish-
the fire were not at hand, and it was feared
that the oonhagration would spread under
ground in such manner as 10 cause an ex-
plosion. This suppOsition led many inhabit-
ants of the immediate vicinity to remove to a
safer distance. The quantity of naphtha on
fire was estimated at four and a half million
cubic feet. The trees aud buildings within
three miles distance were covered with thick
soot and this unpleasant deposit appeared on
persons clothes, and even on the food in the
adjacent houses. Not only was the naphtha
itself burning, but the earth which was satu-
rated with it was also on fire, and ten large
establishments, founded at great expense for
the development of the trade in the article,
were destroyed. The fire ceased of itself un-
expeetedlY, and thus the fears of total destruc-
tion of the local naphtha industry have been

Gui,eau'. Treatment by the Court.

The leading English papers criticise severe
ly the manner in which Guiteau's trial is be-
ing conducted. The trial, they say, aston
ishes and shocks English readers, and law
yers declare that no such spectacle of Judi
cial incapacity has ever been seen. They
consider the examination of the prisoner,
touching his own insanity, as a scandalous
innovation. 1t is good deal easier for Eng
lishmen to criticise the trial than it would be
for them to point out how, under our consti-
tuition and laws, it could be conducted differ
emily. The court has a remarkably difficult
person to deal with, and the people are be-
ginning to acknowledge the wisdom of Judge
Cox's moderation and conservatism. The
New York Tribune, which at first criticised
the court proceedings in unmeasured terms,
now remarks:
"Had Guiteau been treated as such crimi-
nal deserved, it is possible that there would
have been lingering doubts of his RESPONSE
bility, even in the minds of some sensible
men. But he has been permitted to exhibit
himself completely, and the whole world will
now see that he knew only too well what he
was doing, and that his deed was a violation
of law. Hour after hour before a crowded
courtroom, he has exposed TO scrutiny his
Infamous nature-a compound of the basest
and most dangerous motives with more than
ordinary shrewdness and cunning. Here he
is forced to say that he knew the act of kill
ing to be crime under the laws of the land,
and that he deliberately planned and slowly
worked himself up to it, His blasphe-
nous pretepce of inspiration is clearly
proved an after-thought. Until the deed had
been committed, he calculated upon human
means and agencies only picked his pistol
aud practiced his hand to kill anticipated
all the consequences; sought in advance pro-
lection from the anger of the people and
thus at every step behaved precisely as no
man could have behaved who had imagined
himself the instrument of higher power.
The world knows, from this exposure of
Guiteau by himself, that no assassin ever de-
served to be hanged if he does not. Civil
lized society cannot conceive of criminal
more dangerous to its peace and order than
