Canada Getting Ready.

Senator Sherman in a speech in con-
gress last week on the Presidents
retaliation message held that the time
had come when the people of the Uni
ted States and Canada should take a
broader view of their relations to each
other than had been hitherto practical
BILE. 1t would be better, he said, for all if
the whole continent north of Mexico
shared the prosperity and blessings of
the American Union, this end to be
brought about, not by unfriendly leg
islation but by friendly overtures.
Meanwhile dispatches from Ottawa
state that the British government, re-
alizing that Canada is in semi de-
fenceless condition should any trouble
arise with the United States over re-
taliation, has asked for an extensive
report of the armed resistance the
country could offer should there be
any trouble. Sir John Mcdonald, the
premier, also urges that the canal
which connects the Ottawa river with
the great lakes at Kingston, built by
the British government after the war
of 1912, be deepened sufficiently to ad-
NIT of the passage of gun boats, the
object being to open up an inland
water communication from Montreal
to the great lakes, in consequence of
the liability of the st. Lawrence river
and the Grand Trunk railway being
closed by American forces Immediately
on the outbreak of trouble. Due no
tice will undoubtedly be given before
war is declared.

Hon. Simon Stevens of New York
city, who is spending few days at his
old home in Barnet accompanied by his
daughter, gave his many friends very
pleasant reception on his birthday an
niversary Saturday, September %, at
the residence of VIM. S. Brock, who
lives in the house where Mr.. Stevens
was born sixtyth years ago. The
weather was threatening, but did not
prevent large number from paying
their respects and enjoying the rare
collation.. Some of the elderly ladies
and some of the younger ones, for that
matter, carried home pleasant memen-
toes of the occasion. His years sit
lightly on Mr.. Stevens shoulders, and
we earnestly hope that he and his
daughter may enjoy many birthday
anniversaries as happily as this one in
Barnet.

Sergeant-at-arms Phinney of the leg
islature has made these appointments :
Senate doorkeeper, Wilson Draper OF
Sheldon; assistant, L. j. Savage OF
Waitsfeld. House dOOrkeeper, III. E.
Taylor of Brattleboro assistant, S. d.
Hopkins of Burlington. 1t is said that
w. A Lord of Montpelier is to be re-

J. III. Mimms of st. Adams will I'M
doubtedly be the reporter in the house.
We owe Mr.. Atkins an apology. In
referring to his pay as superintendent
of the construction of the new federal
building at Montpelier last week, we
failed to state that his remuneration
had been reduced, in other words that
he had been "cut down" since his ap-
pointment, we suppose because his SER
vices were not found to be worth what
the government first allowed. This
comes nearest to being a frst-class
recommendation for the Cleveland ad
ministratiOn so far as Vermont affairs
are concerned, that we have observed
for three years and half.
Somebody has raked up one of the
late Mr.. Conkling's letters containing
sharp criticisms of Mr.. Blaine. Put
ting dead men on the witness stand is,
it strikes us, rather OVERRIDING the mat
ter for campaign that has for it's
chief characteristic square argument
and candid reasoning. Mr.. Blaine very
properly answers in reply to inquiries
that "Nothing could induce me to
enter into a controversy over Mr.. Conk-
ling's grave. During our joint service
in congress. some Is years in all, we
had some exasperating controversies,
but never spoke or wrote word con-
corning him, expect publicly, and now
that he is dead my lips are sealed
against every form of criticism or I'M
kind expression, no matter what may
be the imprudence or the injustice of
any of his surviving friends"

The Art of Advertising.
Another point which will afford you
Information as to the value of a publ
cation as an advertising medium is the
clOseness with which the publisher or

rates.
Caution to Investors.
Boston CttItiuator.
We note with considerable alarm the
sublime Indifference with which many
innocent people purchase Western
farm mortgages without sufficient ac-
tual knowledge of the value of the Sc
curity. Many are attracted by the
high rate of interest offered, often put
ting the principal at peril to secure
large prospective income. Why not
use the same caution in loaning money
on a worthless ''sand- hills" farm in
western Kansas that you would in TAX
ing mortgage on blueberry pasture
in New England. Distance is no ele-
ment of security or value.
Methodists and the Third Party.
Chaplain McOabes Position.
We believe in prohibition, but u
large majority also believe in the re-
publican party, and think at this time
the urgent need is to get this govern
ment out of democratic control. As
Mr.. Lincoln put it, "One war at a
time" Some of us may favor local OPP
ton and some oppose it, but there are
few of us who are in favor of third
party as temperance aid at this junct-
ure. Of our eighteen bishops, five
sixths probably are opposed to such a
movement. The rest may favor the
prohibition ticket, but the majority
think, can be counted squarely against
it.
Courtesy to the President.
Boston Oongregattonalist, Religious.
We are glad to see that the report is
cOntradicted that President Cleveland's
name was Kissed at the Grand Army
national encampment at Columbus the
other day. 1t is high time that it were
recognized as it ought to be that to
treat the name of the president of the
United States with indignity is a dis
grace to all who are guilty of so doing.
1t is not an affair of party at all. No
matter to which party president may
belong personally, he is ex officio the
head of this great nation, and is en-
titled to respectful and courteous treat
ment from every good citizen and every
honorable person. Campaign speakers
of any and all parties also need to bear
this fact in mind. Some of them re-
Gently have allowed themselves lib

duty, and it always pays also.

ed on bargain counters the economical
purchaser should select two remnants
of wool of harmonious colors for a
dress, such rs Suede colored cashmere
for skirt with dark blue or green
cashmere for polonaise, or for q

color being used for the upper gar
ment, and frightened near the face by
o vest of the color of the skirt. A
pearl skirt will be worn with a
dark-blue over-dress, and sage green
will compose we'll with terra-cotta
drapery and basque. For more dressy
cashmere toilettes cross-barred Ben
galine and watered silk skirts will be
chosen in patterns that have for their
foundation color that of the cashmere
to be draped above them. Plaid
woolens of very light tints. sometimes
with cream white grounds, are being
worn all through the winter, and will
be in favor throughout the spring and
summer; rough-surfaced yet softly
woven stuffs are chosen for these
gowns that are worn almost all the

La Science en- Famille.
A ton of coal yields about 5000
cubic feet Of gas and 1900 pounds OF
coke. The publication of the gas
furnishes As gallons Of ammonia wat
er, from which is obtained sulphate
of ammonia for agricultural purpos-
es, and about 1870 pounds of tar. 1t
is.here that the operation becomes
especially interesting, for from this
last named product are obtained 70
pounds of pitch, is of creosote, 8 of
naptha, 10 of heavy oils, 6 ofnaptha-
line, 4 of naphthol, 3 of alizarine,
about 1 each of phenol, aurine, and
aniline (the substance to which we
are indebted for SO wonderful colors),
10 ounces of toluidine, 6 of anthra-
Gene, and II of toluene. Finally, it
will interest photographers to know
that hydroquinon, that product that
has been so much spoken of recently,
and which was at first obtained from
cinchona, is now obtained from coal
by industrial processes. %

A most wonderful invention is re-
ported from Vienna. An engineer
has designed truck to be run before
every railway train, being maintain
ed at fixed (but adjustable) distance
in front by the force of an electric
current transmitted from a dynamo
on the engine. If the truck comes
into collision, the connection is de-
stroyed, instantly and automatically
applying the brakes on the following
train. 1t is claimed that two eX-
presses fitted with this system,
might with impunity be set to run
full tilt at each other. The collision
of their pilot trucks would arrest the
progress of both trains before they
could meet.

will be sure to see, and which will
make him positively unable to cure

Helping one Another.

Let us help one another. This lit
tie sentence should be written in ev-
cry heart and stamped on every
memory. 1t should be the golden
rule practiced not only in every
household but through the world.
BY helping one another, we not only
remove the thorns from the pathway
and anxiety from the mind, but we
feel a sense of pleasure in our own
hearts, knowing that we are doing a
duty toour fellow man. A helping
hand or an encouraging word is no
loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others.
Who has not felt the power of this
little sentence? Who has not need
ed the encouragement and aid of a
kind friend? How soothing, when
perplexed with some task that is
mysterious and burdensome, to feel a
gentle hand on the shoulder and a
kind voice whispering; "Don't be
discouraged; I see your trouble, let
me help YOU" What strength is In
spired! What sweet gratitude is
felt, and the great difficulty is dis
solved as dew beneath the sunshine.
.=sYes, let us help one another, by en-
deavoring to strengthen the weak,
and lift the burden of care from the
weary and oppressed, that life may
glide smoothly on, and the fount of
bitterness yield sweet waters; and
He whose willing hand is ever will
ling to aid us, will reward our hum
BILE endeavors, and every good deed
will be as "bread cast upon the
water"
