State Board of Health.

The board met in Burlington on
Dec. 81 and considered first the bill
vetoed by Gov. Dillingham;, regret
ting that the bill could not have be-

quest the selectmen to appoint such
an officer as the law directs Next
was considered the propriety OF eS-
tablishing sanitary periodical for
circulation with the state, and 1t was
voted that the experiment be tried.

"NoMINAL cANDLE-POW.ER., ;,

One of the points made by Judge
Ross in his cndcavor to keep his fellow
townsmcn out of the trap set for
them bv the ThOmsOn-HOuStOn com
pany, was the showing up OF flaws
and Objectionable features in the con
tract which calls for nominal 1000
candlc-powcr arc lights, and warned
the people against ratifving any such
uncertainty as that called for. One
of the dictionary definitions of''nOm-
inal" is existing in name only"
That is probably Just about the size
of this nominal candlc-power.
At Springfield, Mass, the electric
light company was not sharp enough
to get in the word nominal, but
agreed that each light should be
2OOO candlc-power." The committee
on street lighting madeup their minds
that they were not getting what
their contract called for and recently
employed Prof. John T. Stoddard of
Smith college, an eminent authority,
to measure the lights of the city.
The result is that their 1000 candle
power lights ran all the way from
1000 down to 800 candle-power, the
average being about 700 candle
power. On receiving the report the
committee refused to approve the bill
presented for the December lighting.

4 PROSPEROUS YEAR.

The wear 1883, though a prcsidcn-
tial wear. was on the whole q most
PROSPEROUS one and one that added
much to our nations wealth. Our
local banks and corporations have
done an excellent business and the
merchants report exceptionally brisk
holiday trade Our large farmers
made more sugar III the spring and
harvested more hay and grain i'll the
autumn than ever Their annual
average Weld OF all the crops was
somewhat reduced, however, by con
tinuOus rains and early frost Our
trunk line railroads have done Il large
business and in many cases their
stock is several points higher than at
the beginning of the year. AS an eX-
ample of the prosperity of our New
England mills the showing which
Fall River makes may be cited. Here
is a city of 60. 900 inhabitants, the
largest cotton manufacturing centre
of America. Her 40 corporations,
representing 4 capital of$2O, 900, 900,
have all declared dividends during
the year and no strike has occurred
among the 10000 employees. The
dividends of the several mills range
from . to 80 per cent and average
nearly 10 per cent, the dividends
paid aggrcgating the greatest
amount ever paid in the history of
the city. More than this three of,
these corporations are building new
mills, and two more corporations
have recently been organized. Other
manufacturing centres in New En-
gland Will probably make as good a
showing when they close their &C
counts for SSS

RIEG4TE.
Bound to Have a Christmas Sleigh Rid,


Christmas was not publicly OBJ
served in town, but two of our young
ladies more devout than the rest,
thought they would have a nice time
anyhow. Accordingly the Saturday
morning before, they started for an
adjoining town, equipped with an
old pung sleigh, and the family horse.
The morning was cold but the little
snow that covered the ground made
very comfortable sleighing and they
reached their destination in due time,
and excellent spirits. But alas for all
earthly plans. The weather changed,
the snow melted, and the mud re-
sumed sway of the highway. Tues
day afternoon found them turning
their sOrrowful faces and the old
must be opened on the morrow The
first two or three miles there was
passable sleighing, and then the mud.
The pung must be returned so the
girls took turns walking for a while,
but at last even that seemed too
much. Then they both walked on
beside the sleigh, holding on to the
reins and the old mare pulling them
at running hops through the mud
until they finally reached home a
wiser and Sadder crowd. Fortunate
ly darkness kindly came down on
them, hiding them from the prying
eyes of neighbors. Next time thes-
ladies take q sleigh ride on bare
ground they will stay at home.

THE GREAT 90" STRIKE OVER.

The great strike of the engineers
and fremen of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad was settled
last Friday after an all night session
between the railroad officials and
the officers of the brotherhood of To-
connective engineers who ordered the
strike. Both sides exhibited a will
ingness to compromise which neither
exhibited when the strike began. If
one is inclined to lay all the blame on
the engineers let him remember that
Immediately after the strike was de
clared other great railroads centering
in Chicago granted their employees
nearly all the Burlington engineers
had asked their employers for in
vain. But on the other hand it cam
not be denied that the engineers made
continued attempts to boycott the
road and to prevent the new men
from properly discharging their du-
ties. In their attempts at boycott
ing, the great order, which boasts of
seldom ordering strike or failing to
gain their point when a strike is be
gun, made a signal failure. The road
has more than held its own against
its prosperous competitors and IS to-
day doing a larger business than
ever before.
Did the strike pay? 1t has lasted
Al weeks, has cost in the neighbour
hood of 100000 and a dozen
lives, broken up 1000 homes, driven
$500 men out of employment, inter
tered with commerce and caused
riots, dynamite plots, long trials and
imprisOnments Perhaps 900 of the
strikers had been in the service of the
company continuously for % or 80
years and were reputed the best en-
ginccrs III the country. Are the con-
cessions granted the strikers balanc-
cd by these great losses? Certainly
not.
The strike ends just where it ought
to have begun-with arbitration.
Both sides have finally yielded by
adopting the peaceable method
which is the universal panacea of all
strifes between labor and capital.
The brotherhood gained some of
their requests, but at Il terrible sac
rifice of lives, money and loss of time
Chief Arthur gained his particular
stipulation, namely the eXoneration
of the order, of which he is the hon
Ored chieftain, from any participation
in the Hoge dynamite plots. The
public had exOnerated the brother
hood long ago. The old engineers
will be reinstated when vacancies Oc-
cur, the Burlington officials very
properly declining to discharge any
of its present force to make places
for the strikers Thus ends one of
the longest and bitterest labor strug-
giles of the present time, and 1889
opens with peace in the world of la
Dor and toll.

At the closing session Friday night
NJ. W. Davis, member of the state
board from Westminster, gave a
most instructive talk on the economy
of stock feeding. He urged all to
study to secure the feed that produc-
ed the results; that went to make up
| the bone and muscle as well as the
fat of the animal, and that after be-
ing utilized by the animal was the
most valuable for manure. Early
cut grass and clover with leaves that
are not all dried up is the most nu-
tritious that can be fed to the stock
Vermont's future for 20 years is in
her dairies. Feed your COWS the
most nutritious food, keep them in
warm barns, care for them kindly
and you will soon see the results of
your work in more milk and more
butter. Vermont has ovcr4O dairies
where the COWS yield 800 pounds of
butter annually. Mr.. Davis asked
how many present could report an
equal showing from their diaries and
Ezra Parks of Waterford and l.. c.
Fisher of Cabot raised their hands.
Walter G. Cook ofSt. .Johnsbury was
the only one present whose stock
produced over 200 pounds of butter
annually. Continuing the speaker
advised the farmers to sell their
stock when well developed rather
than keep them for years to fatten.
This fattening process never brought
q good return. In closing he eXhib-
tied tables showing the feed that
yielded the most returns in making
bone, fat and muscle and for manur-
ing purposes after the animal had
extracted its nourishment.
William Chaplin of Middlesex
thanked the audience on behalf of the
board for their attendance. Judge
Hovey responded by thanking the
board for these profitable meetings
and for the advice our farmers had
received.

of the last sickness of her husband.
The opening sentence of her letter is
characteristic of the noble woman
who wrote it. 1t is addressed to

but a few days after his son. The
opening sentence is as follows: eli
he cablegram sent to Boston reach
es there all right long before you get
this YOU will have heard of the great
jOv to which Giles has attained -
The letter then proceeded to recount
his illness, which was not of long du-
ration The direct cause of death
was the failure of the hearts action.
He sat to the table for the last time
with his family on Thanksgiving day,
passing on to the better land on the
following Tuesday, Thousands OF
the natives came to the funeral to
mourn the death of one greatly be
loved who had done so much for them
both temporarily and spirituality; for
BY Mr. Montgomery earnest and
persistent efforts many lives were
saved during the long famine. His
dealt is a great loss to the world.
