THE FRATERNITIES.
What They Are Doing In st. JOhnsbur

What They Are Doing In st. Johnsbury.
At the Post Chamberin camp fire
Saturday evening Gettysburg was the
subject treated. While the number
present was not as large as on some
occasions the exercises were very in
teresting. G.. p. Carpenter read the
first paper giving an account of visit
to the battle field year or SO ago.
Mr.. Carpenter was one of the 18th reg
iment boys, a regiment that figured so
cOnspicuOusly in that eventful battle.
His story was not less thrilling in some
of it's parts than Mr.. COffin's SO recent
ly told here, and was particularly in
teresting as giving a more minute ac-
count of the part taken by Vermont
to the fact that no monument or tablet
of any kind, not even board, marked
the spots that were held by the Green
Mountain boys and urged the necessi :
ty that the next legislature should
make provision for an appropriate
monument. Mr.. Carpenter was fol-
lowed by DR.. Billiard who spoke with
not little feeling of the events of
those days, of his meeting with Gen.
Hancock on the Gettysburg field, of
the sick and wounded and also of many
scenes Of IA lighter and pleasanter sort.
Both contributions were listened to
with the deepest interest. During the
evening Mrs. d. Smith recited an
original poem descriptive of the war
days, which was loudly applauded, and
the rising vote of thanks for Mr.. Car
penter's paper and Mrs. Smiths poem
was unanimously passed.
The next camp fire of Chamberlin
post comes next week Saturday even
ing when w. w. Sprague will tell his
story of eight months experience in
Libby prison.
Rebekah lodge have their masquer-
ade and sugar party this evening in
the Odd Fellows hall. Public invited.
The MasOns are doing good work
these days and good deal of it. The
Council worked degree Monday even
ing, the COmmandery Tuesday even
ing, the Blue lodge meet tomorrow
night and the Chapter Saturday eve

$40 to S25 worth of shop tools and

Tic interest on such an investment
will lie less than it may cost to
make IL single trip TO the village to

sable repairing done when harvest
is driving. and perhaps several men
waiting with nothing to 'lo but to

very near a shop we should abont

without q good hammer and mon-
Ike, wrench, and yet until moving
nachiues came into general use
and wrencheS were put in as Il
part of the outfit By the manufac-
turer monkey-wrenches were quite
rarely found ON farms. An old
pair of broken iawed pincers were
frequently the nearest approach to
Il wrench when Il nut needed to be
taken oil Tor putting new Iointto
the plow. We know this, for we
have had our fingers pinchel many
times trying to do just this thing,
before good wrenches became COM
mon. No farm outfit is complete
without TWO or three saws, q claw

Chinese Costumes.

The principal feature Of China
mans costume is the fact that
nothing ever fits bnt his stockings.
His clothing consists, really, of
three or four shirts, each opening
in front and having five buttons, a
sacred number. These buttons
are never in a straight row, but in
IL sort of semi circle half around the
body. The onrer garments have
sleeves a foot longer Than thu. arm,
~ fact which affords abundant OF

Converting Corn Into Pork.

Pork and corn seem to be inSep
arabic articles. But unless the corn
is properly fed the pork will he ex-
pensivc. Corn aud pork only so
tosetl.crwhen it is desirable to fat

any other manner, or for a differ
cllL piill.ose, the pork becomes a
very expensive product. We do
not advocate feeding corn i'll the
summer to any class Of stock, and

invaluable to the pork raiser, and
The most convenient article he can
USE, pork can be Produced more

though aged, do not know that
dover hay can he fed with advan

fact. We have long separated the
log from all other classes OF stock,
and denied him the privileges of
being fed on grass, cut hay, ground
oats and other food that is more &c
ceptable TO him during bis growing
period than corn, and the cOnSe
uuelce is that he fails under the
long continued diet OF corn, and
