Edward Van Sicklen of South Burlington
has IA leg Broken-Other Casualties.


Edward Van Sicklen of South Burling-
ton was driving up st. Paul street Satur-
day afternoon when his horse became
frightened and turned sharply at the cor
der of Bank and St. Paul streets, throw
ing Mr.. Van Sicklen out and against
telephone pole, breaking one of his legs just
above the knee. The horse was stopped
on Church street Mr.. Van Sicklen was
taken to the residence of DR.. Wheeler who
reduced the fracture aud then took him to
his home.
AS II. l.. Melaney of Underhill was driv-
ing double team down the hill on this
side of the river ut Winooski, Saturday,
the team became frightened at some boys
who were cOasting and turned round.
The sleigh was overturned and Mr.. Me
laney was thrown to the ground with
great force, but the only injury he sus
tanned was a badly bruised foot. The team
with the front sled attached to them, con
tinued their mad career down Pearl street
until they reached Church street, when
they attempted to turn down that
street, but did not turn soon enough and
ran into the fence on the southwest cor
ner. One of the horses was so
badly cut that a number of Stitches
had to be taken to close the wound.

Agricultural Colleges.
10. VI. Tinkhum.

What are the reasons why so few grad
yates from the agricultural colleges be
come farmers | think ! can name some
of them; \ farmers boy knows the hard
ships of a farmers life; he has turned
the grindstoue before breakfast, MIXED
the cows in the morning in winter when
the mercury was hunting the bulb in the
thermometer, and he doesn't like it, He
sees only the fair side of other Occupa-
lions Che will learn later that they all
have their hard linesl, and he thinks he
will take the brighter, easier life. An
other reason Is IA the idea that 4 man who
goes to college naturally takes some pro-
fesSiOn, and that farming does not need Il
college education. Again, he may not be
ambitious, and those he has known rs the
hOnorcd-thc Judges, senators, governors,
presidents-haVc been professional men,
and he sees only that path to riches and
honor and does not recognize the fact
that it is not the path so much rs the per
son who treads it that reaches the heights.
He sees the success but notes not the
failures. Again, | do not believe Il man
can be made Il thorough, practical farmer
at any college, even though it may have
a farm and experiment station attached.
The farm is tire place for that, and the
better the young man is equipped men
tally and the keener his intellectual tools
are sharpencd by discipline, the better is
he equipped for his work and the more
probable (all other things being equal his

In such way that the blade Of the axe
struck him on one of his thighs close to

inches long aud about two inches deep

not known exactly, tut his mother, be

started for the woods to search for him
when she found him unconscious at the
scene of the accident. After trying in
vain to lift him ON the sled she went to
the neighbOrS and obtained help, and the
boy was taken home. DR. Briggs Of this

FrescUed " omen.

1t is relief to see a woman, be she
young or old, whose complexion is MOI
artificial. Time was when the woman
whose face was powdered and rouged
whose lips were painted and eve brows
stenciled, was viewed with social sus-
picion and mentally placed where she
no doubt properly belonged. 1t is
different now-Yery different Partisan
art certainly beauties the face.
but the arti6ciality is detected
simply because it is too beautiful
to be natural. 1t is argued that
the designations of fashionable life,
the round of gayety, late hours,
luxurious eating, inadequate exercise
and fresh air prematurely destroy
youth and freshness of face, rendering
recourse to cosmetics necessary. No
doubt this is true, and more the pity,
and one can only conjecture what
manner of faces can be hid behind the
MASKS seen on the piazza, at the table
d'hote, and in the parIors. Saratoga
and Long Branch abound in these
frescoed women, and, from certain
standpoint, they are sight to see. It
is all IN keeping, however, with Vanity
Fair.-New York Mail.

Cigar Color br the GALLON.

IAN interesting feature of the trade, y

from the richest, Oilies finest gummy
tobacco, and no matter how old and
dried out the cigars may be the process
entirely aud perfectly renOYates them.
The process is a secret. The material
used is as clear as. water, yet it gives
to q cigar much darker and
richer appearance. It cannot cone of

not become dull bv age. The material
costs IS gallon. The fact is, the public
Is continually demanding cigars of bet
ter quality, and the only way to keep
up with the times is for the nanufact-
urers to improve their quality of to-
baccU to the fullest extent. The way to
do it is to throw aside all prejudice and
"ldfashiOned notions. The looks of CT

dark and shiny they viii sell every
time; that is my experience.-New York
