Genuine Vermont Lingo.

Several years ago 1 was at a certain
railroad station in Vermont when the
track had just been completed and o
lot of ''embattled farmers" with their
wives and children, were given free
ride, which was to some, at least, their
first journey by rail. Their appearance
and more especially their customs and
habits Of speech 1 shall never forget.
One old lord of the soil acc0sted an
elderly lady maiden with: Wal. wal,
how be you? and hOw's Eben?" ''Oh.
we're WE'LL" was the reply. go
done hayin'?" was the next question.
"Oh, yes" said the old lady, 1--WE got
done haydn last week and we've been
gaddin' ever since (Which being inter.
preted meant visiting), l tell EbcD
we'd better CAD now till his oats is
ripe" WAL" said the man, you'd
better come up to our place and CAD a
spell. My folks would be awful glad.
Come up an CAD with U.s." ''Oh. !"
was the reply, 1--WE don't owe you NO
gads. Cor. Philadelphia Times.

GOOD JUDGMENT.
Plain Common Sense as q Factor In the De-
cision Of Legal Points.

Plain Common Sense as Factor In the De-
cision of Legal Points.
A farmer, noted for his good judg.
ment. having been made the admins
traitor. of an estate, applied to Yankee
lawyer for advice.
Don't bother yourself about the
law" answered the lawyer, ''but de-
eide each matter, as it arises, accord
ing to your own idea of right and
wrong. Should any one object, you
come to me and / will undertake to
find the law to sustain your decision"
That's the whole thing in plain
English, ma lorrdds," said John Clerk.
an eminent Scotch lawyer, clinching
point he was arguing before the
House of Lords.
"You mean in plain Scotch, Mr..
Clerk" answered Lord EldOn, allud-
ing to the broad dialect of the counsel
mae maitter!" retOrted the lawyer;
Gin plain commOn-sense, ma lOrrdds,
an that's the same in a languages We
ken weel eneuch."
The Scotchman and the Yankee were
right; plain common-sense or good
Judgment is the same in all languages
and in all people. Luther. the great
refOrmer, was not a lawyer, but his
good sense often enabled him to de-
eide correctly knotty questions of law.
The following case was once placed
before him for his decision.
A miller had an ass, which went into
fisherman's boat to drink. The boat
not being tied fast. floated away with
the ass, and both were lost. The miller
complained that as he owed to the fish
erman's neglect to tie his boat. tho
loss of his ass, the fisherman should
make that loss good. The fisherman.
on the other hand. complained of the
miller for not keeping his ass at home,
and desired him to pay for the loss of
the boat Luthcr's opinion was asked
rs to whether the boat took away the
ass, or the ass the boat. He answered.:
Both men were in error; the fisher
man that he tied not fast his boat. the
miller in not keeping his ass at home"

Sympathetic Listening.

One of the surest ways of showing
sympathy and of being attractive in
conversation. is by listening with a
hearty interest to what is said by an
other. Good listeners-not quiet and
dull listeners, but hearty and sympa-
thetic listeners-arc far rarer and far
more winsome that good takers. 1.-The
reason so few people are agreeable in
conversation" says the keen-witted
La Rochefoucald, lis that each is
thinking more Of what he is intending
to say than of what others are saying;
and that we never (realy] listen when
we are DESTROYS to speak" Sympathetic
listening is an Outgrowth and proof Of
loving unselfishness.-S.S s. Times.

DISCOVERIES At ZOAN.
The Rare Archaeological Relics Recently
Found In Egypt.

The Rare Archaeological Relics Recently
Found In Egypt.
ZOan was the seat of the Pharaoh of
Joseph. the scene of the miracles of
Moses, being situate in that pastoral
district, which in the hierOglyphic rec
ords, as well as in the Hebrew Chron-
icles, bore the name of 1.-THE field Of
Zoan"; and which, under its classical
name of Tanis, continued SO late as
the times of the Ptolemies to play an
important part in the history of the
ancient world. 1t twas the chief city of
the Delta during the most interesting
two or three thousand years of Egyp-
tan history; it owed much of its
splendOr to Rameses H., who restored
and built here upon scale of extraor-
binary magnificence-the King when
1.-THE Egyptians made the children of
Israel to serve with rigor.
At San are the remains of . city
once hardly inferior in grandeur to
Thebes itself, while about it, as the
capital of the Hyksos or Shepherd
Kings, as the Zoan of the Bible and
the Tanis of the Greeks, centers sa-
cred interest and an historical value
peculiarly is own. Here, to illustrate
the gigantic masonry of the place,
Mr.. Petrle disclosed the broken .por-
tons of the greatest of all cOlOssi
known to mantle Monolith of Ram
eses II.
Among the labors, discoveries or re-
suits ut San, have been the successive
and exhaustive surveys of the great
temple, with mappings and photOgra-
ply of every object and mound in the
enclosure; the critical scrutiny of every
fallen block of the great pylon of
Sheshone I'LL; trenching and shafting
in many parts of the mounds; proof
that the wall of Piesbkanu reaches en-
tirely around the temple, and that the
Ptolemaic stratum averages fifteen feet
above the palaces and villas of the He
brew period; granite sarcophagus
larger than the great one at Sakkarah;
the unpublished half of the celebrated
tablet of Tirhakah; an inscribed ODE
lisk. in part, Of the XIIIth dynasty; q
curious Greco-Egyptian chapel. with
valuable relics; large stella of Ptolemy
Philadelphus and five smaller ones;
royal statuettes and sphinxes, discovery
of the Great Metropolis and minor ne
cropolises, and the disclosure of
private dwellings of the pre-Ptolemaic
and Roman times. containing many
objects of special archaeological and his
tOrical value to illustrate the domestic
life and the worship of the periods rep

Pocket Pea-Soup.

Twas talking to a friend Of mine last
week about the different modes of re-
lieving distress that have been adopted,
when he pulled out of his pocket a
small slab wrapped upin paper. This.
he said. II have given in numerous
eases. 1t is the German pea-soup.
which gave bone and muscle during
the last war. This slab costs three
pence; it makes seven pints of pea
soup. requiring no addition to it. fox
meat is pressed in with the peas.'
Well, 1 tried it, and better pea-soup I
never tasted. A packet would make q
sufficient dinner for q family. My
friend bought the slabs that he gives
away of 3 grocer who has shop in
George Lane. FOlkestOne. and who i'm
ports them from Germany.-Labou-

USERS OF SNUFF.
A Commodity Which Is Now Sold Almost
Exclusively to Women.

A Commodity Which Is Now Sold Almost
Exclusively to Women.
"Of course 1 sell snuff" replied one
of the leading tobacconists of Washing
ton to a question from reporter, who
had been gazing with great curiosity at
row of tin boxes on a shelf in the rear
of the store. There is very good
demand for snuff and always keep it
in stock"
II supposed that the habit of TAX
ing snuff had died out" remarked the
listener.
"Well, don't suppose that there is
as much used now rs there was twenty
five years ago." was the response.
''Only the ghost of the old trade
remains, so to speak, but still there is q
market and demand"
There are very few men that l
know use snuff" observed the report
err, with the air that this was strong
argument against the view of the
tobacco dealer. '.Besides the men that
do use it are very old and contracted
the habit when snuif-taking was the
universal CUSTOM"
Il sell to very few men," remarked
the tObacconist, calmly. 1.-The fact is,
that know but one or two men who
use snuff"
"Who in the world are your CUSTOM
ers, them" inquired the listener, with
considerable establishment.
"Why, the ladies, of course" was
the reply. NEARLY all my customers
are women, and / have quite good
trade"
..What sort of ladies?" asked the
reporter with some doubt.
s.All kinds" said the man briefly.
.sThere are certain class who use q
great deal of snuff, but then the habit
is not confined to any particular class.
know wives of members of Congress
who are fond of tobacco in this form,
and use a great deal of it."
Il should think that their vanity
would keep them from such a habit, -"
said the reporter. 1T makes the nose
larger, does it not?"
.'They don't all snuff it. A great
many dip snuff. You know that habit
is very prevalent, especially in the
Southern States. NV customers, how
ever, are not from any particular local.
ity, but from all parts of the country.
1 think that the majority of people who
use snuff dip it. That is. rub it over
their gums with small stick"
"Is it an expensive habit?"
"Not very" was the reply. 1t don't
cost as much as smoking and chewing,
and in my opinion is much cleaner than
the last. The best snuff is Martinique,
which costs about 81. 25 per pound. But
the article usually purchased costs &c
and 60 cents per pound. There are not
| as many varieties made now as there
| used to be when the habit was more
prevalent. Only standard brands are
in the market, and it may be said that
the trade is dying out. "-Washington

rate fabrics are avoided Nor is it any
longer necessary that all the dresses
should be white; there is decided
fancy for color in these small toilettes.
not merely for light and delicate tints,
but for dark rich shades of red, blue,
golden brown and yellow, that make
gay little frocks, and have the further
advantage of not being easily soiled.
In the cotton fabrics, prints, cambrics,
ginghams, lawns, batistcs and Cham
berys are chosen in colOrs that wash
well. For calicoes, prints, satteens
and cambrics, there are pretty
sprigged patterns on cream, paic or
dark blue. or bright Turkey red
grounds; for ginghams, are pin-head
checks of a color with white, or half
inch blocks of three or four c0lOrs to-
gether, or half-inch stripes of two con-
trasting cOlors, such as blue with yell
low, pink with brown or pale rose with
dark red. and also fancifnl large
plaids: new lawns and batistes have
open-wOrk stripes or crOss-bars like
drawn-work woven between lines Of
color, and there are solid ecru or blue
batistes, while others, like the Cham
berys. have either open or close em-
brOidery in white or in contrasting col
ors. in stripes, in small figures, and
also along one scalloped selvage. The
newest piques have cross stripes of
clusters of cords, but the repped
piques and those with embroidered
sprays are still most used. The du-
rable linen lawns that wear intermin-
ably are excellent for these little wash
dresses, especially for the yoke slips
with sash backs worn by girls two or
three years old. The white dresses
are of Victoria lawn or nainsOok with
embroidery and tucks-nOt lace-fOr
trimming; indeed, lace is almost as
completely banished rs are silks and
velvets from these simple garments.
The only silks used are the light sum-
mer silks, such as the large-AOwered
India silks, or French patterns in fOu-
lards in quaint aesthetic cOlOrs. or else
checks or small plaids as gay as Scotch
plaids, yet not in regular tartans. For
more fanciful stuffs the cream white
etamine or canvas is chosen, also the
thin wool challi with flower designs on
cream, pale rose, or blue grounds.
For warmer woOlens for the seaside
are cashmeres for best dresses-white,
dark red or pale blue-while for gen.
eral wear are thin French flannels or
the heavier twilled domestic fannels

LEFT TOO QUICK.
Insurance Agent Dfetmer Leaves Town Suddenly With a Woman $500 Short in His Accounts.

1 Insurance Agent Dietmer Leaves Town Suddenly With Woman $500 Short in His Accounts.
 Alfred A. Dietmer, representing the John Hancock Insurance company, which has an office in the Connecticut bank building on the corner of Church and Center streets, is missing and so is some of the company $ money Where Dietmer has gone or for what reason he fled is not known. The missing man is of German descent and speaks and writes English, German, French, Italian and Spanish with readiness. Before becoming an insurance agent he had charge of the foreign correspondence of H. P. Hub bard's advertising agency. The insurance company, which paid him $500 a year for his services, was warned about six months ago that it's New Haven agent was crooked, but continued him in it's employ.
 Two years ago at Savin Rock he met Miss Nellie Moves of Seymour, an estimable young lady of good family, and few months later the couple were married and lived at 66 Howe street until about two weeks ago, when Dietmer urged his wife to return to her parents home in Seymour where she now is. Dietmer it is said left this city with dressmaker named Phillips, who lived on Whalley avenue, and who has a child the whereabouts of which is not now known. Dietmer leaves the insur- ance company about $500 short besides ows ing many other debts about town. Dr. Charles Park, who was physician of the com pany, received the following note from Diet mer last Friday, containing an enclosed letter directed to his wife,
 DKAR DocToR-I am ruined. I have taken mon ey belonging to the company, and have gone, no one knows where. Please give enclosed letter to my wife. Good by. A. L D.
 Dr. Park delivered the letter as requested, but what it contained is not known.
