Vermont for VermonterS.

Vermont farmers, who sometimes
think they get rather more than their
share of storms and uphill work gen
orally, may find little comfort in
the following extract from private
letter, written by an old Vermonter
now resident in Southern California
sThe farmers here are having hard
time. Between low prices and the
pests which infest the vines and
trees, they say they are running be-
hind. Prices are getting down to
nearer their value now. On town
lots some desirable lots can now be
bought at one-fifth the asking price
of eighteen months ago." This from
a Vermonter who has lived in Califor-
MIA for some years, and whose prop
erty interests are there, is very sug-
gestive. 1t conveys its own moral.
No one portion of the country has
a monopoly of all the good things.
While we could get along with less
rain in this section of the country at
just this time, California hasn't
enough to settle the dust. Though
the morning papers for weeks have
contained daily reports of disasters
by food-and this morning is not an
exception-Vermonters have been
spared serious losses. Living in a
State founded on a rock, or on rocks
to be exact, has its disadvantages,
at times, and then again it has its
advantages. When the winds blow
and the rains beat upon these rocks
they generally leave them about as
they find them, which cannot be said
of other and softer portions of the
country. Vermont is the best place
for Vermonters, after all.-Free

own roads the Boston & Maine and
St. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
railroads 2 cents per mile; the Con-
necticut River railroad not yet heard

last year. 1t will be necessary for
comrades to purchase round trip
tickets over each road, as no free
return tickets will be supplied.

AGRICULTURAL Experiment Stations

We hardly think our people in Yer
mont realize what the Experiment
Station at Burlington is doing, or
might do, for the agricultural and
other interests of Vermont. The fol-
lowing shows what these stations
(they exist in every state) are doing
for the people:
AS instances of the value Of the
experiment station work, Farmers
Bulletin No. l, issued recently from
the office of experiment stations of
the department of agriculture calls at
tention to the fact that in COnnectl-
cut analyses made by the state station
have so reduced the price of the COM
mercial fertilizers that the saving to
farmers in the cost of q single ingre-
dent of these fertilizers has been
greater than the entire cost of main
tanning the station. Prof. Atwater,
director of the office, quotes one New
JERSEY farmer as cheerfully admitting
that the information obtained by him
from the experiments made at his
state station had been worth more
than $4,000 to him in a single year.
In n. Carolina, among the valuable
results coming directly or indirectly
from this work, are an increase of IA
per cent in the quality of the COM
mercial fertilizers sold in the state
and decrease in the acreage devoted
to cotton due to the substitution of
more profitable crops. Similar valu-
| able results are to be found at almost
all the stations established long
enough to have achieved results.
Copies of the bulletins from the VT.
Experiment. Station are sent free to
all who address the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, Burlington, Vt.

Do You Drink Ice Water 4?

That cool refreshing drinks in warm weather are
delicious is undenlable. That drinking ice water in
copious draughts when person is overheated is
injurious, not say dangerous is also undeniabe.
But that the free drinking OF water in some form in
hot weather must be avoided, is deniable and is
of the greatest popular errors eXtant. When a
person is perspring freely from every pore, vast
amount of water is drawn from the body, which
must be re-supplied, or great injury is being done
the physical health, and the foundation OF some of
the worst forms of kidney disease is being slowly,
but surely laid. Why someone will eXclaim, that
is just what causes kidney troubles, drinking
ter freely which contains much lime. Wrong
againi So long the water drank is freely carried
through the SYSTEM and converted in its passage
tue naturally acid reaction of the urine andperspir
alton. no danger can occur by deposits of urea or
lime in the kidneys and bladder, because they re-
mann perfectly in solution, and carried out of
the body instead of remaining in it. Literally they
are washed of the body by the copious draug
of water that most perfect of all known solulents)
same as a series of pipes 'sfushed' with water
clean them. A clean body is never diseased.
Do not drink ice cold water, bat pure cool water !;
a little lemon juice win improve the effectiveness.
Plain soda with little acid is also excellent.
If from drinking too much ice water you have
stomach cramps. are ''water-logged," as it is
called, or are attacked with cholera morbus, sum
complaint, diarrhoea, dysentery, do re-
alcoholic stimulating drinks. which irritate
rather than soothe and aay che inflammation hich

taking daily just before retiring during july and

vast amount of information about treating those
summer troubles.

Navy Building.

The gunboat Yorktown is evident
ly strong and stable vessel. The
trial of her battery at sea on Mon
day was exceedingly gratifying in
its results. The heavy six-inch rifle
guns of the Yorktown, weighing,
with shield and carriage, eleven tons
each, were repeatedly fired with the
full charge of 42H pounds of brown
prismatic powder, and the gunboat
was not strained or damaged in any
way by the conclusion of the firing.
The gunboats Bennington and Con-
cord, built after the style Of the
Yorktown, will be launched this
month, and the following month the
three great cruisers, San Francisco,
Newark and Philadelphia, each of
about 1000 tons. The construction
of the San Francisco is rapidly go

yard in Philadelphia. Great eX-
pectations are entertained concern
ing the two first named, and their
speed is promised. to be in excess of
that of the Yorktown. The de-
signed speed of the three last named
is nineteen knots. Then we have
two line-of- f-battle ships building, the
Maine and the Texas, and as soon
as the San Francisco is finished, the
keel of coast defence vessel hav-
ing a displacement of 1000 tons will
be laid on the same dock. This
month, bids are to be opened, ano

struction of five rapid-fring cruisers

and prerogatives under which French
Canadian nationalism is being devel-
oped.
If, however, there must be one
permanent people, and not two, IN
Canada, then the French Canadians
will prefer to join the United States,
and nothing could prevent them. In
deed, they, holding the Upper st.
Lawrence, would compel the rest Of
British North America to join also.
They would rather fuse, if they must
fuse, with the stronger than with the
weaker English-speaking nation. 1t
is of no use to think of restraining
t. French Canadians by arms. The
war could not be carried on. The
|, 3h would be with the French and
the United States would be ready to
receive them. The effort which Mr..
Mccarthy is now making for constl-
tueional revision can only hasten dis
runtion or annexation. No one can
properly Judge of the wisdom or like
lihood of Canadian annexation with
out carefully studying the position
of the French Canadians, so many of
whom have found happy home IN
our own country.-Indepe1edent.

The Canadian Race Problem.

We have our race problem, and
Canada has hers. Our two races
differ in color; the two Canadian
races differ in language and religion.
Of these differences that in language
is generally the most serious and di-
visive. but the treatment of Ireland
by the English government has alien
ated all the sympathy of the Canadian
Irish from their English-speaking
brethren, and their sympathy will 60
wholly with the French. The French
and the Irish together include three
sevenths of the total population.
1t is the desire of the English ele-
ment in Canada to fuse the popula-
ton into one homogeneous mass,
but this is not the desire of the French
Canadians. They have accepted the
confederation, but it is not to them
an end but a means. By it they
dwell in peace with their English
neighbors, while developing their re-
sources and preparing for a national
future. Their ideal is not the ideal
of their neighbors, but it is the form
alton of nation which shall profess
the Catholic faith and speak the
French language. They wish the
confederation to continue-at least
the governing Ultramontane MAORI
ty of them do-until they are strong
enough to declare independence and
set up for themselves, apart from
their Protestant and English-speak.
ING neighbors Their leading organ,
La Verite, boldly asserts this pro
gram.
1t is doubtful if the rapid drifting
apart of the races can be prevented
/ by any revision of the constitution
Revision almost impossible withou
war. The French would never submit
to the abolition of the dual Language
system, which is imbedded in th'
Manitoba Act of 1870 and the British
North American Act of 1879. Th
position of French Canada is her
impregnable. The latter act, which
is in good part the constitution o
British North America, expressl.
recognizes the existence of the twt
races and guarantees the privilege

jure the resources of the people. Its
operations practically cease with the
closing of the saloons, leaving per-
sonal liberty unimpaired. 1t exoner-
ates the state from completely and
participation in the most formidable
agencies of it's own destruction"
ssBut those who would cure intem-
perance and reclaim the drunkard,
should remember that it is not enough
to close the dram shop and destroy
the distillery. They must be replac-
ed. Human nature abhors vacu-
um. When the unclean spirit went
out of man, and, finding no rest, re-
turned to his empty, swept, and gar
nished house, seven devils entered in
and dwelt there, and the last state
of the man was worse than the first.

The Worth of Silence.

Men great in deeds are often tao
iturn. Does their taciturnity arise
from the diffidence which fears lest
words should exceed deeds, or from
a conviction that safety is promoted
by silence? Washington's reserve
made him stiff, formal and i'll at ease
in company, but it also prevented
his plans from being betrayed to an
enemy and the country from being
deceived by his promises. William
the Silent was frugal of words, be-
cause reserve that concealed his de-
signs, even from those acting with
him, was necessary to the independ-
ence of the Netherlands. A writer
in Leisure Hours says that the most
dramatic of silent men was Wallen-
stein. the antagonist of Gustavus
Adolphus, and the commander OF
the emperor's armies in the thirty
wears war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign around
him. His officers took care that no
loud conversation should disturb their
general. They knew that cham
berlain had been hanged for waking
him without orders, and that an offi-
Ger who would wear clanking spurs
in the commanders presence had
been secretly put to death. In the
room of his palace the servants glid-
ed as if phantoms, and dozen SEN
tinels moved around his tent charged
to secure the silence the general de-
manded, Chains were stretched
across the streets in order to guard
him against the disturbance of sounds.
Wallenstein's taciturnity, which made
him shun speech, and his love of ST.
lence, caused him to be irritated at
the slightest noise, were due to his
constitutional temperament. He new
er smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to
be gazed at, even when giving an or
der. The soldiers, when he crossed
the camp pretended not to see him,
knowing that a curious look would
bring them punishment.

On Saturday they completed the
count of the cash and securities
in the United States treasury. This
was rendered necessary by the trans
fer of the office from Mr.. Hyatt to
Mr.. Huston, incident to the change
of administration. Such a change
once in four years would seem to be
wholesome and necessary. The
amount at stake is 500, 900, 700, and
a rigid accounting ought to be made
tolerably often. Every dolla, up
posed to be in the treasury W.. &C.
counted for with the exception OF
shortage of So in the new silver vault,
where 50, 100000 silver dollars are
stored, and deficit of $15 in the old
silver vault, containing S45, ,OOO,0
These shortages were at once made
good, and q clean receipt given by
Mr.. Huston to his predecessor.
We believe at the last accounting,
four years ago, there was nickel
missing, or something Of that sort.
1t is a qualification, irrespective of
party, that the enormous amount of
cash and securities locked up in the
treasury is safe from the depredations
of thieves and peculators. 1t is a
testimony to American political and
official honesty, in the presence Of q
temptation unprecedented.

The Belgians are thoroughly in
earnest in their belief that there are
great possibilities for development in
the Congo country, and prove their
sincerity by becoming responsible for
one-third the sum needed to put the
projected Congo railroad into oper-
alton. Subscriptions to this amount
have been made by the Belgian
people, bankers and capitalists, and
in addition to these, by an almost
unanimous vote the Belgian cham
Der of representatives has empow-
cred the government to contribute
the sum of $4,000 in aid of the
construction of the railroad. The

The acting secretary of the treasu-

lar to officers relative to violation of
the alien contract labor laws by Ca
nadians, but chiefly concerning boat
men at Alexandria. He explains
very clearly that this applies to cases
where contracts were made before the
alien went To the United States. That
the law does not prohibit aliens or
foreigners from going into the Unit
ed States and there obtaining labor
by contract or otherwise. The law
mainly intended to protect American
labor from American employers who
