tant factor in the Boards work. Fideia

this country together have expended
more than $50, 100000. More missiona-
ries have been born in or gone out from
Vermont in proportion to the numerical
strength of the church than from any
other State. Over 200 claimed Vermont
as their home, including DR.. Clark, DR..

died at Alden, and who was a student in

A SYMPATHETIC JURY.
1t Reimburses a Litigant for the Loss O
Valuable Tooth.

1t Reimburses a Litigant for the Loss of
a Valuable Tooth.
A case was recently tried in one of
the Boston courts which involved a
peculiar state of facts. 1t was an
action of tort against the keeper of a
restaurant to recover damages for per-
sonal injuries and the loss of a tooth.
1t appeared in evidence that the plaint-
iff, man of high social standing in
Boston, and one who thinks a great
deal of his personal appearance, went
into the defendants restaurant to get a
lunch. Among other things he Or
dered some lettuce. Being somewhat
of a nervous temperament and being
in haste to make a train, he ate rapid
ly. While eating the lettuce a promi-
nent tooth struck large-sized gravel
stone and was badly broken. The res
taurant keeper refusing to make any
satisfactory adjustment of the matter,
the injured party brought suit to re-
cover damages for the alleged negli-
gence and carelessness of the defend
ant and his servants to wash and clean
the lettuce properly. The court, on
the plaintiffs testimony, ruled that the
case was a proper one for the jury.
The expert testimony as to the value
of a tooth apart from the physical and
mental suffering of the plaintiff, was
conflicting, it being novel and per-
picking subject in which to fix the
measure of damages. The plaintiff
claimed that the lost tooth was of q
particular value to him, both as to use
and looks, and that he would not have
lost it for $500 The jury was of the
opinion that the defendant should be
more careful, and gave the plaintiff
substantial verdict, a sum sufficient
to buy an entire false set. Chicago

The Burro and the Bulldog.

A burro and bulldog had fight
recently in Fresno, Cal. Burro is Cali
fornia for donkey. The burro was
browsing on cookie burs by the road
side when the bulldog trotted along,
stopped, and without a grOwl, seized
the donkey by the shank bone of the
off hind leg. The burro kicked and
kicked, and then he tried to reach the
dog with his mouth, but unavailingly.
Then the burro laid down on his back
and brought it's hind legs forward to-
wards it's head. He shut his jaws on
the dogs back and slowly Strengthened
out. The dog without finching kept
his grip on the shank bone. But the
donkey had just as much grit, and
kept on Strengthening out, though the
strain was causing the flesh and mus
cles to be terribly lacerated. The dog
let go. first. The burro kept its hold
on the dogs back, and in a second was
on its feet, with the dog dangling from
it's mouth. The burro's leg was ter
ribly lacerated, but he did not seem to
mind. He limped across the road,
and, deliberately pausing several times
to rest, rubbed the dog back and forth
over the barked-wire fence until it was
killed. The dog did not howl from the
beginning to the end. Coo Chicago

PITH AND POINT.

He that hath ears to hear let him
hear. But usually the man with the
most ears, wants to do all the talking.
The charity which holds multi
tude of sins isn't half so much needed
nowadays as the sterner virtue which
rawhides them.
Extremes meet in almost every
thing; it is hard to tell whether the
statesman at the top of the world, or
the plOwman at the bottom, labors
hardest. Terrence.
Men think it's goodness of heart
that makes them generous at times
when in reality it is only regularity of
the liver. Merchant Traveller.
We are not more ingenious in
searching out bad motives for good
actions, when performed by others,
than good motives for bad actions,
when performed by ourselves.
"A man will find that the mere re-
solve not to be useless, and the honest
desire to help other people, will, in the
quickest and most delicate ways, i'm

Happiness comes only from a con-
sciousness of well-doing. Fleeting
pleasure we may enjoy for a short
time; but we need look back with no
regret to a happy ''might have been"
unless we could picture ourselves do
ing right.
There come hard experiences in
most lives, when self-denial must be
practiced and many things which are
desirable done without; but it is to a
great extent left to our choice whether
this shall be during the strength and
enthusiasm of youth, or when the in
firmities of age are upon us.
The day-laborer, who earns, with
hard hand and the sweat of his face,
coarse food for a wife and chill
dren whom he loves, is raised, by this
generous motive, to true dignity; and
though wanting the reinements of life,
is a nobler being than those who think
themselves absolved by wealth from
serving others.
If, in the pursuit of that on which
we have set our hearts, we take steps
which violate our sense of right and
lower our moral tone, to just that ex-
tent we do not lessen the success of our
lives. The temporary gain which may
seem to ensue is in reality our worst
failure, and will sooner or later mani
fest itself as such.
Whoever is wise is apt to suspect
and be diffident of himself, and upon
that account is willing to ''harken unto
counsel;" whereas the foolish man, be-
ing in proportion to his folly full OF
himself, and swallowed up in conceit,
will seldom take any counsel but his
own, and for that very reason, because
it is his own.

something he should have thought OF
when we took possession of the cabin,
that rattlesnakes had stored them
selves away for the winter in the hooks
and crannies about the old chimney

warmed them up so that some of them
had crawled out of their hiding places
and had probably coiled themselves on
the hearth to enjoy the genial glow of
the fire.

stone of the fireplace and killed nine
immense rattlesnakes. He said that
there were undoubtedly many more
stored away about the cabin, but
neither nor my friend cared to have
them hunted out, and we did not tarry
any longer about Burned Mill Cabin

mind then that l would just as soon

One of the most valuable and covet-

Thousands of people place necklaces
of coral beads around the necks of
babies, with the belief that they will
assist the children in teething.
When the Saxon dynasty was over

In South America the natives wear
