Ike Sloan was farmer, like all other
Vermonters. but wasn't exactly one of
the type whose CRITTERS and vegetables
always bring more money than other
peoples. On the contrary. if there was
any difference between the price that he
got for his products and the market
rate. it was generally to his disadvant-
age. One day on his way back from
the village he complained bitterly to the
people with whom he gossiped along
the road that the storekeeper had abus-
ed him most shamcfuly by giving him
only nine cents a pound fer his maple
sugar. But, gol dern him, said Sloan
with a chuckle. Il GOT even with him,

Many urban Americans are too delicate
in their tastes and too generous in their
appetites for their own good Fine food,
finely prepared, is desirable for every
one; but it should be taken moderately.
Gastronomy leads to gluttony, or its
equivalent and though it may not beget
dyspepsia, it is apt to destroy the health.
Gout. worse than dyspepsia, is the pun
ishment of sensuality, and consciousness
of deserving it abates not its torments.
Our best dinners are barbarous in
their profusion. 1t is marvel they do
not xiii at once; their penalty is that
they kill by degrees. The edibles and
potables of an elaborate dinner should
serve for half a dozen dinners. The
Castilian proverb is correct: He dimes
best who at the close is not surfeited.n

AN OLD REPUBLIC, WHERE THE
PEOPLE ARE HAPPY

| ILOfLE AhE HAPPY.
| The great majority OF Americans are
apt to imagine that orr republic is the
oniy one which has prospered for any
length of time. In fact, Americans who
are Intelligent on other subjects, some
times write or speak as though our re-
pubic Was the only one on earth. Bnt
the truth is that in comparison to some
others the American republic is a mere
infant in age.
Ihe republic of Andorra, in the Pyre.
nese, between France and Spain, is over
tbopsan.4 wears old. 1t was established
by Charlemagne, In The eighth century,
aud has fiourished from that day to this.
Its territory is thirty miles wide by
thirty seven long, and it has popula-
ton of eight thousand. Its total revenue
would not afford plunder enough for one
Credit Moblier Congressman, and vet

had an investigating committee.
The republic of San Marino is still
older than that of Andorra. 1t Is in Italy.
III what used to be the states of the
church, and not far from Ancona, on the
western shore of the Adriatic. 1t is a
city on rock, in the centre Of territory
about as large as the island of New York.
Its population numbers but trife over
seven thousand. 1t has an army of 1,1S9
warriors, and a public debt of 81 200.
It's public revenue is $4,000 a year.
Napoleon, in the first flush of his early
renown, visited San Marino in 1876, and
asked the President what he could do
for the republic. ''Leave us alone"
said the President. Napoleon took the
hint and his departure, after giving the
little republic one cannon.
Switzerland, France and Spain fill out
the catalogue of European republics, as
it stands now. How it will be year
hence no one can tell.

by purifying, renewing, and invigorating
the blood with Ayers sarsaparilla. When,
through debility, the action of the kidneys
is perverted, these organs rob the blood of
its needed constituent, albumen, which is
passed off in the urine, while worn out
matter, which they should carry off from
the blood, is allowed to remain. By the

There was an earthquake Tuesday even
ing which was felt throughout nearly the
entire portion of the United States east oi
the Mississippi. 1t was most severe in
South Carolina and Georgia. At Augusta
Ga. ten distinct shocks were felt between
9;5l and lO'45 p. m. At Savannah five
shocks, and at Memphis, Richmond and
Washington it was so severe that the people
became panic,stricken.
Charleston, S. G. suffered the most.
A bridge leading to the city was shaken
from its foundation, carrying along all
telegraph lines, ana shutting out the city
from all outside communication. The first
shock was felt at $3.50 when the people
found themselves being thrown about and
houses tumbling on them. Every one ran
screaming into the streets, and many shout
ing "My God save us" "God have mercy
upon US sinners" The first shock was
followed by others: at intervals of half hour
each, but less severe. Several fires were
started and many buildings consumed
Not house in the city escaped injury.
Many are so badly shaken and cracked
that slight wind will bring them down.
There were probably so persons killed and
over 100 injured. The loss will reach eight
or ten million dollars. Another shock was
felt at Charleston at 1850 Wednesday

which cost Mr.. Robbins the immense sum

features which can always be seen in this
