THE Montpelier Union School and
the Washington County Grammar School
closed last Friday afternoon with an
exhibition in the school chapel. The
programme consisted of rhetorical and
musical exercises by the pupils. The exhi-
bition was in charge of the popular princi-
pal, Professor j. A. DeBoer, who deserves
great credit for the highly satisfactory man
ner in which the programme was carried
out The musical portion was under the
direction of Professor II. L. Walker of Bur
lington, and the excellent manner in which
the selections were rendered gave evidence
of the thorough and systematic training
the scholars have received in his depart
ment. Miss Flora Terrill presided at the
piano. The programme follows: Decla-

THE FARMERS TRUST COMPANY This
company was incorporated in 1885 and has
been in active business since. 1t has a paid
up capital OF fifty thousand dollars and a
special guarantee fund Accumulated which
amounts at this time to about twelve thou
sand dollars. While the control Of the com
pany is in the hands of well-known resi-
dents of Vermont, it relies exclusively on
western security in the matter of invest
ment, and makes no loan which the mana
gers can not ascertain by personal investi-
cation to be secured beyond all question.
Safety has been tie first consideration
With this end in view the company will
guarantee the payment of six, and in many
cases seven, per cent interest to purchasers
of its securities, believing that this is all
that the safest line of investments and con-
servative management will warrant. The
Farmers Trust Company has negotiated
about six hundred loans, secured on real
estate. In each case investors have re-
ceived their interest promptly and the
principal at maturity. The company has
acquired no land by foreclosure. These
are facts which investors are invited to in
vestgate. Loans are onstantly on hand
from 5000 and upwards and are for sale at
the Office in Montpelier, Vt. Correspond

THE LAMoILLE COUNTY SAVINGS BANK
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of Hyde Park has been or.

bank can be run as a Vermont Institution
1t relies exclusively upon Vermont bust
ness, makes no southern or western loans
whatever, nor any loans which the man
ayers can not ascertain by personal investi
cation to be good beyond question The
conservative policy of its president, Hon
G. S. Page, is well known to all who
have observed his recommendations as in
spector of finance for the state of Vermont
during the past four years. His ideas have
been regarded as overcautious touching the
matter of investments, but the policy of tn,
management of this bank will be in the ex
act line of his well-known views. Safety
will be the first consideration, and with thi,
in view the bank will guarantee the pay
ment of four per cent, compounded semi
annually, believing that this is all that thu
safest line of investments and conservativ,
management will now warrant Persons
at distance can send money with en-
tire safety by express, post-office order
express money order, registered letter
or by bank-check or draft, and deposit
book will be returned by mail. Deposits
in this institution are exempt from in
dividual taxation to the extent of 81, 800.

HISTORY OF CORSETS.

According to strut They Were Used az
Early a. the Thirteenth Century.
Toward the conclusion of the four
teenth century women We're pleased
with the appearance Of "A long waist,
and in order to produce that effect they
invented a strange DISBURSEMENT called
a corse or corset The word corset
appears as early as the thirteenth cent
ury, and in sumptuary laws made
early in the reign of Edward "
wrought corsets and corsets wrought
with gold are restricted to certain
classes of the female nobility. They APP
pear, however, to have been worn by
both sexes. and were usually quilted,
having slips of whalebone between
the quilting. Their breadth, together
with the mode of fastening them by
lacing permitted of their being drawn
very tight, aud thus produced the slim
waists referred to by various writers
of the period. "A French moralist o.
who wrote during the reign of Henry
VI, says: BY detestable vanity la
dies of rank now cause their robes to
be made so tight in the waist that they
can scarcely respire in them. and so
often suffer great pain by it in order to
make their bodies small. ''In the
time of Queen Elizabeth" says Strut,
1.-THE bodice was also used by men,
though this custom, | believe, was
never generally adopted" Pictures
of some of the remarkable men
of that time are represented
with slim waists, which are pre-
sumably the result of such tight lacing.
From that period up to our own day
corsets have been worn by women of
England and of most other civilized
nations They combine in one the
mammillare, the strophion, the zoster,
the iona, etc, of the ladies of ancient
Greece and Rome. That the wearing
of corsets is "A gain to many women is
evident enough from the fact that they
are worn under conditions in which
the wearers are regardless of mere APP
pearance. For instance, we may cite
the working peasant women, unmar-
ried as well as married, of France,
Switzerland. the Tyrol, Austria and
Hungary. etc, who wear stays during
the performance of very laboriOus
work, yet who. one could not
suppose, would do this if their
stays interfered with their comfort
or movements. Another example of
the same fact is illustrated by the very
poor working women of our own Ma
ton. who, when obliged 10 sell their
clothes, or when these hang about
them IN rags. still, as a rule, stick to
the use OF stays. Many other ex-
amples to the same effect might be
given. showing that mere regard for
appearance will not. as is generally
supposed, explain the widespread
adoption by the women of our own
time Of corsets or OF tightly-bound
sashes, as in the case. for instance, of
the country women Of Spain. National

After winter grain is sOwn there is
yet time to remedy defects Of soil and
exposure If there is a knoll in the
field it is probably the poorest part Of
the lot, and one or more loads of ma
nure distributed over 1t any time before
winter will have a wonderful effect,
not alone upon the grain crop, but on
the equally important clover or grass
seeding that should go with it. If a
farmer will do this every time field
is sown the poor knoll will soon be-
come as rich as any part of the farm.
There is such thing as a natural
aptitude for different kinds of BUSH
ness. One farmer will grow poor on
a rich farm, while another will grow
rich on poor farm. One poultryman
will make money in fowls, and another
win lose it. The one is adapted to his
business, the other is the right man in
the wrong place. or the wrong man in
the right place. Success can be had
only when the right man is in the right
place. Life is strewed with the wrecks

Feeding Bran or Potatoes.

Approaching the subject from the
chemical side we can get a pretty
satisfactory answer from that point Of
view. At % cents per brshel potatoes
are worth about 40 cents per 100
pounds. Calling bran $l2 per ton we
have cost of 90 cents per 100 pounds,
so that the question IS: Which is the
cheaper feed. potatoes at 40 cents per
100 pounds. or bran at 60?n On page
10i Of the fourth annual report of this
station is a table showing the digesti-
bic constituents of our common food
articles. BY this table we find; 100
pounds potatoes. worth 40 cents, con-
tain l pound protein. 1876 pounds
of carbohydrates; 100 pounds wheat
bran, worth 50 cents. contains
1876 pounds protein and * pounds
carbohydrates and fat. 1t is quite evil
dent that bran is far cheaper than the
potatoes for feeding purposes at the
prices named. and If a farmer can get
- cents per bushel for the potatoes he
can afford TO haul them some distance
TO exchange them for bran at such
prices. The potatoes would require
cooking IL fed to cows. l believe,
however. that if one should feed pOta-
toes 10 stock he will get rather better
results than would be indicat ed by a
chemical expression as / have here
given. Animals require variety in
their food in order to make the best
gains, and the farmer who feeds moth
ing but hay and bran, or cornstalirs
and bran all winter long viii fiud that
for time his animals will show re-
markable results from almost any new
kind of palatable food they may re-

A Singular Case.

For four years Mrs. Benjamin
Meyer, of Souderton. Pa. was totally
blind. Not long ago she was taken
i'll. so that she had to stay in bed sew
eral days. On the fourth day she
awoke in the morning and exclaimed:
Il seer Her husband rushed to the
bedside and was recognized. She point
ed out different articles Of furniture in
the room. told different persons what
they were wearing. and in many ways
proved that she saw. She asked that
all her children and grandchilden.
twenty-five in all, come TO her bed
side. and they did. She told them that
she had earnestly prayed thai she
might see them all once before she
died. and this was the answer 70 her
prayer. Then she said: This is the
last day that shall ever have the use
of my eyesight." She awoke the next
morning as blind as ever. and has been
so ever since,
