There is considerable interest felt in
the appointment of county clerk to
succeed the late "A. E. Rankin. Until
Mr.. Rankin's successor is appointed
the deputy clerk, George H. Phelps,
holds the position. A number of

and also George A. Paine, the latter
former deputy clerk in the Office. The
appointment is in the hands of the as

THE RAILROAD SHOPS.
Prospects of Their Removal to St. Johns
bury.


Superintendent C. S. Mellen was
here Friday and talked very freely
about the circumstances attending the
possible removal of the railroad shops
from Lyndonville to st. Johnsbury.
The situation stands about as follows :
The railroad company is giving the
removal question favorable cOnsidera-
ton, and practically awaits some pro-
pOsit Oh from the citizens of st. Johns
bury. If the proposed change is made
the Lyndonville shops would probably
remain as they are, entire new build
ings being erected here. The present
shops at LyndOnville are not of suffi-
cient capacity to meet the demands of
the increasing business of the road and
the new buildings would be one third
larger tffan tie present shops and
would probably give employment at
once to one third more men than are
now on the shop pay roll. The build
ings would cost in the neighborhood of
$50,0OO. The railroad company al
ready has nearly land enough to meet
the requirements of the case and ar
rangements can easily be made for
what additional land is needed.
Mr.. Mellen comedies that it would he
much to the advantage of the road to
have the shops at this point and says
that it is not expected of the town to
foot the whole bill, but that the ex-
penses of moving, building, etc, would
be enough to pay extra expense of do
ing business as at present for many
years and that a money contribution
from the people of this place or from
the town as whole would be expect
ed. The sum needed is supposed to be
in the neighbOrhood of $25, 1000 or so
A number of citizens have signified
their willingness to subscribe to the
enterprise others feel that as the
town is to receive the benefit the town
should vote what it will do and raise
the funds by special tax. AS to Lyn
donville there is understood to be ne
notion of leaving that village out il
the cold as the shop buildings will re-
main there and, should the removal o
the works take place effort will bt
made to introduce some new business
| a movement in which the railroad com
pany will be pretty likely TO take {
lively interest.

EFFECTS OF EARLY RISING.
Getting Up So Early As to BE Less
Healthy, Wealthy and WISE"

Getting Up So Early As to BE Less
Healthy, Wealthy and Wise"
Let us begin by saying that every per-
son needs a certain average amount of
sleep in t~wenty-four hours, and that, ex-
cept in extremely rare cases, the person
best preserves health by taking that av-
erage amount every day, beginning at
the same hour, and of course ending at
the same hour, day after day.
In the next place, remembering that
if we observe the rule of taking a uni
form amount of sleep each night, the
question of what hour we shall rise is de-
termined by the hour of retiring, we may
say that, with most people, the morning
hOurs are the best and freshest of the
day. This does not cover the whole
truth, for, in considering this question, it
must be borne in mind that we are really
deciding between an hour, or less time,
ut the beginning, and the same time at
the end of the day.
Again, the amount of sleep needed is
not the same for all persons. Conse-
quently, if all are to rise at the same
hour, they must retire at different hours.
One of the most amusing conceits of
the Rev. DIR. Edward L. Hale represents
q farmer and his wife, with a frenzy for
early rising, to have argued, from the
success of 6 O'Clock as a uniform break
fast hour through the year, that they
could gain am hour n day by breakfasting
at 8.
The experiment worked so well that
they presently pushed the breakfast hour
back to 4 O'Clock, and so gained two
hours n day. Again they moved the
hour back to 3 o'clock-and 50 they went
on, until they had gone backward through
the hours three times, with the result OF
gaining three whole days every day they
live.
Obviously one may rise too early, and
may in consequence be less ''healthy,
wealthy and wise" than by choosing an
hour more reasonably early. And, final
y, no rule covers all cases. Beyond q
doubt there are persons, young and old,
more especially old, who cannot rise at
what is to most people not too early an
hour, without extreme discomfort, and in
some instances at the expense of health.
1t makes no difference how early they
retire. The addition of an hours sleep
at the beginning does not mako them
wakeful n sooner; or, it happens
that they cannot sleep at the beginning of
the night If they try. Such people, if
the afiliction is a real one, are to be
piticd.
Now our readers will see tho comfort
we offer to late risers. We say to them
that if they cannot rise early they ought
not to do so. Leaving out of the &C
count those whose work compels them to
bo up late at night, we estimate that one
person in fifty is unable to rise early
without harm.
The rest of those who do not get up to
hrcakfast-are lazy.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Six months in the school room will
prove to any n that there are many
children of many minds. There was a
lad in my school last year who was pain
fully stupid in all his studies, but he had
n lively imagination, and in n story
writing contest he led the school. Then
there was n girl about the size of q silver
dollar who could reason out any problem
in mathematics, and that was about all
h could do with the school room studies.
l had an Irish-American boy in the room
who was remarkable for the memory he
possessed. He could frequently recite,
without his book, the entire reading lesson,
and he could express himself very clearly
and rapidly. Then there was another
boy scarcely larger than he who was a
prodigy in geography. He could remem-
Der the exact location of all cities, rivers,
capes, bays, inlets, mountains and valleys.
He could not learn to read, however.
Two years ago 1 taught n boy II years old
who could draw on slate, paper or board
fine pictures of any pupil in the school
and of any scenery visible from the school
room windows. That is all he could do,
for he never averaged more than Is per
cent. in his other studies. The most re
mafkable boy in that school was n self
confident chap who could beat any boy l
ever saw imposing INSTRUMENTATION on
those he met. l never saw him studying,
and yet he made as good appearance in
the class as other pupils, because he could
appear to know what he did not know

Pen Picture of whittier.

The amiable poet is erect in stature,
firm and graceful in all his movements,
and the very soul in kindness. There is
nothing in his appearance to indicate
that either G or illness have mingled
one bitter drop in life's big cup of happi-
ness. His hair and beard, white as the
SHOWS that gather oil his native hills, con
trast pleasantly with the dark eyes that
glance from beneath projecting brows.
He wears no mustache, and thus thin lips
forming n small but determined mouth
are exposed to view. A high and massive
forehead suggests breadth and vigor of
mind. His whole face is the embodiment
Of gentleness, grace and intellectual
strength.
l saw him when he was dressed to re-
ceive guests, and surely / never met n
better dressed or more refined looking old
man. He was, rs is his wont, in black
broadcloth, and while 1 did not dis
cover either precision or e~Xactness in
style of garment, there was by no means
any departure from prevailing custom to
warrant anybody in saying that he was
in the unpretentious garb of q Quaker.
His most enthusiastic admirer could not
have wished to see him better arrayed,
and l actually was struck with the ap-
propriateness of his apparel. Indeed,
do not hope ever again to see another such
q fine looking, finely dressed man at So

Never lean with the oack upon any.
thing hat is cold.
Never begin n journey until the break
fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between the
shoulder blades, well covered; also, the
chest well protected. In sleeping in n
cold room establish n habit of breathing
through the nose, INC never with the
mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet.
the skin is in active condition, the cold
and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind, never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
of a car for n moment; it is dangerous to
health or wen life.
When hOarse, speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from,
else the voice may be permanently lost, or
difficulties of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to heat after it has become comfortably
warm. To do otherwise is facilitating.
When going from n warm atmosphere
into q cooler one, keep the mouth closed
so that the air may be warmed in its pas
sage through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken a slight degree
of exercise, and always avoid standing on
ice or snow, or where the person is ex-
posed to cold wind.-Sanitarium.

The Indians of Alaska.

The husbands have seemingly every
thing to do with the management Of
common property, as far as use and en-
ployment are concerned, but the instant
if is to go out of the household by sale or
barter, the Better half Tor two-thirds to
~three-fourths) regulates the entire affair,
and can annui or veto any sale or ex-
change of her husbands even after the
money has been passed to an exchange of
goods. This singular state of affairs has
caused more petty trouble in Alaska be-
tween the whites and Indians thar any
other source 1 can now recall. Most of
the white men there are of that kind who
hate to see n woman ''stick her jaw in,'
especially to undo n good bargain that
they thought was past recalling. The
husband has no such rightin the woman's
shopping, nor does he ever think of any,
thing more than the meekest suggestions
in u matters
Not that the husbands are chen peckedr
at all, as my remarks might imply, for
beyond the peculiar relations l have ex-
planned, there seems to be no difference
between them and the ordinary run of
other people in like conditions. The
women do the hard work of the house
hold, n the men the harder work of
keeping it supplied with everything; and
rough and severe as the work necessarily
is, it is somewhat fairly divided accord
ing to the strength and capability of each.
No such brutal sight, once SO common
among the Indians of lower ATTITUDES, as
an active young warrior ~ reclining in
the shade while his wife and aged mother
did the mems work toward making him
comfortable, is ever seen in Alaska

1t is generally supposed that banks are
eager to receive deposits from all sources
and pay little attention to the character
of the depositor, provided they get their
money. This is a very great mistake.
Good banks are not in the habit of open
ing accounts with every mar who wants
to deposit without knowing something of
their customers business methods. 1t is
almost as hard to become n depositor in
some of the strong eastern banks as it is
to get n position in n of them, and the
depositor must come highly recommended
before his money is accepted. The fact
is, the relation between n banker and his
depositor is n confidential one, and the
banker cannot afford to have tricky or
dishonest patrons whom he knows he
must watch all the time. He would
rather let them keep their money
and have nothing to do with Them

The most unique and beautiful collec-
ion of water lilies in this country is the
boast of Paramount park in Philadelphia.
In the great lily ponds every variety,
from the pink blossom of New York to
the imposing Victoria Regina, an island
in its broad expanse of leaf, is to be found.
Through blue, purple, red and white
lilies the gold n silver fish dart, and in
summer butterflies of brilliant hue hover
over the pond flowers in delight. A new
variety of the lily family is to be added to
the collection. 1t is produced by a French
gardener, Latour Marliac. The flowers
are six inches in diameter, and their color
Is the soft canary of the Marechal Mel
rose. Only two other yellow water lilies
are known-a pretty North American
species and a dull colored species of Brazil.
