Bows and Easter Eggs.

There is nothing more trying to a
boy than, after great care in accumu-
lating these shelly resources, to have TO
place them in basket and bring them
forth to the light two weeks before
Easter. Boys, therefore, manage with
skill and dexterity. About this time
of the year you see them lurking
much about the barrack and hay loft.
You see them crawling out from stacks
of straw and walking away rapidly
with their hands behind them. They
look very innocent, for have noticed
that the look of innocence in boys is
proportionate to the amount of mis-
chief with which they are stuffed.
They seem to be determined to risk
their lives on NOW poles where the
hay is thin. They come out from un-
der the stable floor in a despicable
state of toilet, and cannot give any eX-
cuse for their depreciation of apparel.
Hens hutter off the nest with an un-
usual squawk, for the boys cannot
wait any longer for the slow process
of laving, and hens have no business
to stand in the way of Easter. The
most tedious hours of my boyhood
were spent in waiting for a hen TO get
off her nest. No use to scare her off, for
then she will get mad, and just as like
as not she will take the egg with her.
Indeed, | think the boy is eXcusable
for his haste if his brother has dozen
eggs and he has only eleven.-T. DE

About Butter Making.

II. K. Slayton of Manchester, n.
H., in one of his addresses before
the Vermont Dairymans, Association
said:
On the whole | think Vermont has
progressed very fairly in the making
of dairy butter AS most of you know
who have read the papers of the
country, 1 have been agitating for
long time the cooperative system of
dairying, for the reason that, how
ever good a few people can make
butter by the old systems of private
dairying, there is no uniformity in
the make, and the good suffers by
the reputation of the poor; and, a
gain suppose man makes a very
fine butter here, he has got to go to
market himself or get buyer to
come and inspect it before selling
The best creameries make a large
amount, of uniform excellence, and
can sell on established reputation.
Some years ago we exported a
great deal more butter than we are
exporting to-day. The chief reason
for this is that the world has pro-
gressed faster than we have. In other
countries they have caught on to
these creamery separators quicker
than we have With one accord they
left their old ways some years since
and all passed into this separator

Monopolists and Their Victims.

The vast burden of poverty under
which we are staggering is mainly
due to the appropriation of public
services, of social rights, by individ-
uals who neither can nor do render
an equivalent for them to their fell
low citizens. That is the meaning
of monopoly. Monoply,whether crea-
ted yesterday OF the heirloom of ag-
es, is nothing less than tax on all
present and future productions of the
land in which it fourishes. Abolish
the monopoly of resources now enjoy
ed by few, and the nation will not
be the poorer by the smallest fraction
of any commodity at any moment af-
ter. But let there be a universal
strike of all except the monoplists,
and how long would society endure !?
There would be famine in year, in
two years nakedness, and in ten the
land would be a desolation. Monop-
ly means a present tax as we'll as a
past usurpation. The monopolist
may also be receiving ''wages of sup
erintendence but they are a trifing
proportion of his income, and no part

Chicago is to have the Fair; and
it is to be held in 1898. That is the
verdict which the House of Repre-
sentatives rendered recently by a
vote of POP to 40. This action was
taken in the face of grave doubts as
to the basis on which Chicago's guar
antee fund stands; and as to that
city's providing any sum in addition
to the S5,OOO,OO0 now claimed to
have been pledged the prospect is
rather shadowy. However the mat
tea is settled thus far. From the di-
cision to postpone the Fair until 1898
there can be no rational dissent. 1t
would hardly be within the range of
possibility for Chicago or any other
city to get ready by the date which
has commonly been thought most ap-
propriate for the American 1nterna-
tional Exhibition. Even one year
more will allow none too much time
for the vast amount of work that
must be done.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
WnShin0tOn. Nor. 24.

WASHINGTON. Mar. 24.
The members of the majority of
the ways and means committee are
leading a hard life since the prema-
ture publication of their report to the
House of the tariff bill. Every indus
try that is unfavorbly effected has its
lobbying friends either in Washing
ton or enroute to protest. The COM
mittee room is besieged by emphatic
pleaders, who announce that if this
or the other thing isn't undone the
Republican party will be. The biggest
howl comes from the New England
shoe men who threaten to present an
enormous petition against taking hid
es from the free list. The hide men
are quite as loud in their appeals that
they must be protected against for
eign competition. AS between the
divided interests of the men on the
western farm who will be relieved Of
an extra tax on ready made shoes
while he trudges to market with
calf's hide that will have to come in
to competition with the pauper hides
of Europe, and the clashing interests
of the hide men and the shoe manu-
facturer, there seems to be a chance
for fine Congressional deliberation.
The pension appropriation bill, in
volving the expenditure of S98,5OOO,-
900, passed the House on Friday.
There was no attempt at opposition
further than few remarks about the
crying need of reform in the Pension
, Bureau and few words from Mr..
Allen, mildly protested against the
growth of the pension system. But
) there were more stump speeches than
: the House has heard for many day.
' The entire gamut of pension legisla-
, ton was sounded. General Grosve-
, nor, who can always be trusted foi
f extremely partizan speeches, led OF
for the Republicans, while Genera
: Splnola took upon himself the task OF
= showing that the Democratic party
1 was the only and original, simon-purt
: all wool friend of the soldier. Their
: the debate degenerated into a a.fret
Y fight, in which the combats were bad
0 ly disfgured. General Spinola lost his
o temper, and wound up by reading
;. letter from Kansas to the effect tha

system. Within ten years there have
been some two thousand of these
creamery separators put into Den
mark. She was exporting to England
in 1879 some IL, 100000 pounds of
butter. She is this year exporting to
England some 45, 100000 pounds of
butter.
The best butter know of now is
separator butter. You will find in
reading commercial papers that sepa-
rator butter is quoted higher than
cream gathered butter.
I am very much gratified with the
exhibit, and am very glad there has
been so much improvement in the
dairying of the State. But Vermont,
having the best feed of any State in
the Union, having the most crystal
springs and clear brooks, and having
most people who first started in dairy
ing in this country, they are not up
to their conditions; that is, the con-
ditions of the State are such that
you ought to make the best butter
here and lead all other States.
If all the butter made in the State
was made by the separator creamery
system, and the butter was all equal
to that made by the separators this
year in Veamont. I have no doubt
that on the 25,OOO,OOO pounds made
in the State that it would have sold
at an average price of four cents pei
pound more than the average price
obtained by the private dairy.

1t really looks ominous this-time
as if there might be some foundation
for the reports about the prospective
failure of the peach crop. A factory
in Delaware devoted to making bas-
kets and crates in which to ship the
luscious fruit has shut down on ac-
count of the belief that the recent
cold snaps make further business in
