As soon as the secretaries had made
report that the entire collections amount
ed TO $542 so, Rev. B. F. Alexander, pre-
siding edler, called upon the following

H. g. Goodwin, secretary and treasurer,
A. A: Dean, J. H. McNeely, J. N. Thomp-

dent w. L. Richardson then made the pre-
sentation in the following words:
I'VE present to you this house, to be set
apart from all unhaIlowed or common
uses, for the worship Of Almighty God"
DR.. Evans requested the congregation
to stand, and then repeated with great
fervor and solemnity the beautiful "Sen-
tence Of Dedication" as prescribed in the
discipline. The whole congregation then
knelt and the doctor offered up the ritual
prayer for the benediction and blessings
of God to rest upon the consecrated
house of worship. At the conclusion Of
the prayer the organ pealed forth the

Obituary..

CAsAvAINT.-Died, in Chicago, May IT,
Archie s., son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Casa
vaint, aged twenty-five years Earth has
few sorrows that can compare with the loss
of a dear one, cut down suddenly in the
prime of young manhood, whose heart is
full of noble aims and lofty aspirations.
Tie world has great need of young men of
unblemished character, and to the human
eye il seems a strange mystery that a life
like ArchieS should be so soon ended on
earth; but here we see as through glass
darkly." Let us trust and believe that the
Great Father has work for him in another
sphere, and through the seeming evil some
divine end shall be wrought. Many friends
to whom he had endeared himself by his
noble qualities of heart and mind, sympa-
thize with his family in their irreparabe
loss.
LEoNARD.-Died, in Lynn, Mass, May 7,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah
b. Leonard, wife of the late Chauncy b.
Leonard of Berlin, VT, aged eighty-one.
Mrs Leonard was born in Montpelier, May
s, 1909, daughter of Russell and Abigail
Putnam. She united with the Congrega-
tional church in her native town at the age
OF eighteen years. and was true follower Of
Christ until her death, a true Christian, a
fond and devoted wife and mother kind
and sympathetic friend and neighbor. She
leaves nine children, the youngest thirty
seven years of age. There was no break in
the family for a period of forty years,
until one year ago March T. when the hus-
band and father was taken from them
Mrs. Leonard had been in delicate health
since year ago, when she barely escaped
death. Being of cheerful disposition, her
friends did not realize that she was seri-
ously i'll until the day before she died. She
passed away easily and quietly, after an i'll
ness of about seven days, of acute bron-
chitis and heart failure. Her end was
peace. Mrs. \. l.. HUNT.

was highly interesting and was listened to
by large congregation. A solo by Miss
Gertrude Richardson was rendered in a
very pleasing manner
Monday evening reception was given to
the graduating class and their friends in the
parors Of Green Mountain Lodge Those
present enjoyed the evening greatly.

Important for Montpelier.

Professor Clark from New York, one Of
the most expert opticians in the country and
a specialist in lenses for correcting all man
ner of eye defects, will stop with c. w.
skinner, the jeweler, State street Mont
pelier, Vt, for one week, beginning next
Tuesday, June 3, for the purpose Of making
a scientific examination of all eyes Ex-
amnatons will be free. Many suffer much
pain in the eyes, head and back of the neck,
and doctor for what they call neuralgia, but
in vain for in the majority of cases the pain
is caused by defect in the eye called astig-
matism, and can be wholly relieved by hav-
ing proper glasses made. Let every reader
try reading with one eye at time; also to
look at distance II the eyes are not
mates; there is some defect which may cause

place and that the examinations are free.

Tho vlands Preferred by Some Of the

BegiiAing with the offshoots OF royal
houses. il may be mentioned that the
Due d'Aumale has a French cuisine
onion soup for luncheon and household
bread; the only luxury admitted is
cheese made of the finest cream. With
tho Comto de Paris the cuisine is
English and bourgeoisie, so NJ. Benigne
says, though the custom Of taking soup
for breakfast is surely not English. In
the morning no uses English, in the
evening French plate, and his favorite
wine is Asti. In Italy the court dimes
around table covered with magnif-
cent service In gold; 1t is the only
luxury; there are no flowers, and the
dishes of the country are invariably
served-above all the fritto, composed
of a foundation OF artichokes, liver.
brains and cocks combs. The Empress
Victoria adheres to the old English
fashion, but has used more milk ever
since the first symptoms OF her hus-
bands illness appeared. She is fond OF
gravy, soups and pastries. Atthe Ger
man court the finest table is that Of the
Grand Duchess OF Baden; she has an
excellent French cuisine and n Partisan
chef. The cuisine is rather too white,
thinks the writer-there are too many
"quenelles" and ''coulis Ia refine"
but the wines are excellent and every
thing exquisite, The Queen of Sweden
has very tempting table aud bill OF
fare-soups. almost always milk ''cat-
tle," and beeisteak; one of her favorite
dishes is composed of balls of mince-
meat cooked with oil and surrounded
with garnishing of poached eggs;
then there Is almost at each repast the
national plate, salmon preserved in
earth.
NJ Benigne cites Queen Victoria as
an example OF sovereigns who live,
comparatively speaking, more plainly
than ordinary individuals. Among the
other lilSings she has learned in Scot
land is one for the dish on which Sgd
ney Smith and his companions culti-
waited tho muses., but we never before
heard it called tune bouillie d'avoine
ct dc creme porridge;" however 1t is
just possible that the phrase may con-
vey the right idea to the French minds,
though we should doubt it. We are
farther told that the Queens favorite
wine is pale sherry, which she drinks
from n beautifully carved silver cup,
inherited from Queen Anne. The
royal dinner is very complete. The
table is lighted with gold candelabra
furnished with candles; orchids placed
In epergnes rise up to the ceiling. The
Queen eats special bread, square,
we'll cooked and OF mastic color.
Among the beauties who did not eat
one may mention Nine. Recamier,
whom very few people ever saw at
table. She ate alone, rapidly, and
that she might not spoil the romance,
scarcely ever accepted n dinner in
town. II she was forced to do so, she
came late and took only some slight
delicacy under the pretext of illness.
Oitener she remained gantee, aud sat
ut little distance from the table. II
was said at the time that her stomachic
regimen sprung from n belief on her
part that she did not look to advantage
