CARPENTERS Will BROKEN.

Years ago Abel Carpenter lived in
Lyndon and was the father of a large
family of boys and girls. One son,
Charles w. Carpenter, when about
21 years of age, went to California
and in parternership with one c. K.
Bailey became rich. Some years ago
Carpenter died and willed his prop
erty to his partners children. When
his relatives in Caledonia county
heard of the will, they employed A
H. Carpenter, son of A. B. Carpenter
of Waterford, no relative of the fam
lily although bearing the family name,
to go to Stockton, Cal, and investi-
back that he could break the will and
began the fight at once. 1t lasted
one month and the Carpenter heirs
were successful The case was ap-
pealed by Bailey and the supreme
court ordered a new trial. This was
four years ago. The second trial be-
gan about May list, A. H. Carpenter
and L. w. Elliott appearing for the
Carpenter heirs. After being out a
few minutes the jury returned YER
dict in their favor. The property in
controversy is valued at about $751;
900 and consists mostly of real es-
tate near Stockton. A. H. Carpen-
ter, attorney for the Carpenter heirs,
is a graduate of St. Johnsbury Acad-
envy in the class of IA and of Dart
mouth college in '7S, and is brother
of Ezra P. Carpenter, who was mar
ried Monday evening. Alexander
Dunnett and Judge w. P. Smith have
been connected with the proceedings,
receiving testimony from the heirs in
this county to be used at the trial.
The heirs will receive several thou
sand dollars each and their friends
will congratulate them on their sue
cess in bringing this money into Gale
donia county.

WILL SOME ONE EXPLAIN?

Having grown strong under pro-
lection, the American Screw COM
pany of Providence, r. l., will soon
build a factory at Leeds, England,
to be located on the banks of the
Avre, and will cover an acre and a
half of ground. Turn about is fair
play" and the fact that American
manufacturers are getting able to
compete with the English on their
own grounds affords encoura9 cement.
i st. Adams Messenger.
This sounds first rate and reads
like leaf from '92 campaign docu-
ment, but we wonder if the tariff
editor of the Messenger saw the dis
pa tch from Providence which read as
follows: I'm this factory the COM
pany will place a lot of their machin-
cry now idle in this city. President
Angel assigns as the principal rea-
son for this step the onerous condi-
tions requisite to securing drawbacks
on the export of their product, i'm
posed by the present tariff law" We
do not claim to be an expert on the
tariff question but we like to see both
sides of the question. And we fail to
see how the over-praised Mckinley
bill has benefited this Providence
concern. A tariff that drives our
manufactures to foreign lands is
little too much of good thing.

Proper Mastication.

Proper mastication implies that the
food be thoroughly chewed and mixed
with the fluids of the mouth before be-
ing swallowed and that these functions
be performed without haste. Most peo-
pie eat as though they were ignorant of
the fact that the stomach has no teeth
or means of ensalivating the food with
which they fill it. The stomach is a
most faithful servitor and makes a long
and earnest struggle to preserve its
owner from the inevitable consequences
of imposing upon it functions which ma
ture intended should be performed by
the teeth and the salivary glands; but,
like the indulgences of faithful mother
or any other self sacrificing friend, its
services are only recognized when it is
unable to respond to demands for them.
Most people as they approach middle
life lose many of their back teeth, which
are the principal implements of mastica-
ton, but they fail to bear in mind that
they should take more time at their meals
in order to properly prepare their food for
swallowing They should remember
that nature makes no allowance for their
infirmities in this respect, but will hold
them to strict account for any neglect
to observe the rules of health.-Wash-
ington Star.

colored Glass for speetacies.


Adams is reported to have been the
first to recommend the use of blue
glass, but they were at first more widely
used in Germany, chiefly through the
recommendation of the great oculist
Crate, Of Bohm, and others. The blue
color of glass is chiefly to be recon-
mended because it absorbs those rays in
their passage which belong to the yellow
and orange portion of the spectrum, in
which the greatest brightness and great
est heat are concentrated, and the eyes,
especially weak ones, consequently
greatly protected by the blue color,
while rays which such eyes are able to
bear obtain access.
The material for blue glasses which
has to be made in various shades to
suit individual eyes, is somewhat less
hard than that employed formerly for
green spsctacles and is also inferior in
that respect to white glass, but it has
gained in durability comprised with
former descriptions of glass.
Still greater is the progress recorded
in the manufacture and hardness of
smoked" glass, also used for protecting
the eyesight. This kind of glass, which
is colored gray or mouse colored by the
addition of manganese, formerly suffered
from too great softness by the addition
of large quantity of lead; but the best
manufactures now made are nearly
equal to white glass in point of hard
ness. The object of smoked glass is to
reduce the glare of light without segre-
eating colors.-Chambers' Journal.

The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say ''skedule" instead of making peo-
pie open their eyes by saying schedule" .
When we are in England we may say
''tong" instead of "tung" for ''tongue,"
but the wise American will go with all his
countrymen in such matter when he is
at home Very few people, either English
or American, ever say "dyuty," 'con-
stityution," and so on, and yet that is
undoubtedly the way we ought to pro-
nounce them-if we are going strictly
by the authorities. 1t is better to be
idiomatic, either in writing or speaking,
than to be just right by the book.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

Irrelevant Theft.

An Arkansas man is seeking the pas
sage Of law which shall punish what
he calls irrelevant theft" more severe
ly than other species Of larceny. The
stealing of valuable copy of Shake
speare by a teamster first moved him to
advocate such a statute. Among other
things he says:
II would say nothing if blacksmith
were to steal bellows, or if a plumber
were to purloin a roll of lead pipe, but l
do cry out in just denunciation when a
carter, who couldn't read his name even
if it were thrown with calcium light on
the bosom of Lake Michigan, steals a
rare volume of Shakespeare. New

Reticenf Red Men.

No one knows where an Indian is go
ing. Travelling across the plain in a
stage or an army ambulance you will see
him afar off galloping as if he had been
sent for the doctor and was afraid he
wouldn't find him at home. Approach
ing you as the two paths cross he will
usually rein up, exchange salutations,
study your outfit closely, checking his
pony to the slowest of walks, and with
out asking question will know just
where you are going, what you are 60
ing to do and what food you will proba-
bly, give him if he calls upon you atyour
evening fire. Then he is off again,
ranging easily in the saddle, and soon
disappearing from sight. The land
from which he came is as empty as that
into which he has vanished. There is
not sign of human habitation in either
direction. He has probably come twenty
miles since dawn, and will, unless he
concludes to camp with you, make an
other twenty before drawing rein.-Chi-
cago Herald.

In a Street Car.

There was a typical bit of life shown
in recent incident in Brooklyn street
car. Two fashionably dressed women,
strangers to each other, and each with
a child on her lap, found themselves
seatmates in a crowded car. The hand
some blue eyed boy on one knee soon
fell q victim to the coquetries of the
dainty little maiden with golden curls
and soft brown eyes on the other, and
to the mutual satisfaction of the parents
a pretty little Irritation went on
Farther up the car on the other side
plump, rosy checked miss of two years,
a comfortably clad but evidently poor
child, stood against her mother and ad-
miringly watched the pair At certain
street the mother of the boy signaled to
stop. kiss the baby" she said, as she
stood the little fellow on his feet, mean
ing of course Miss Golden Hair, and he
turned to obey.
AT that moment, however, the other
little girl, making her way out with her
mother, was exactly abreast of him, and
Master Blue Eyes, finding this little face
before him, promptly bestowed sound
ing, hearty smack upon it. And every
body smiled, while the prince was led
out, the beggar maid wonderingly went
her way, and the disappointed princess,
who had leaned forward for the royal
salute, buried her face in her mothers
cloak, learning thus early in life the bit
ter truth that the kiss is not always for
the one who expects it.-Her Point of

Why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables.
Meat is manufactured product for
which large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
d process of transforming the vegetable
protein. fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
corn to make pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume large quantity of
soil product to produce small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation of the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do,
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have none at all. 1t is
hard enough for them to get the nutri-
ment they need in vegetable forms
Meats they cannot rd.-Professor At
water in Century.

MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE.

In the autumnal cleaning, sad and chill.
The moorland mere in silent slumber lay;
Unruffied were its waters, darkly gray,
And all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still;
The peewit's last good night fell clear ana
shrill,
The west was dusky brown with dying day,
When came across the heather far away,
The CLEAN of moonrise DER the distant hill.
Like flame that flashes through the cannon
smoke
A full moon climbed above the swaying frs
The rushes felt that herald breeze of hers;
Thee whispered to the water that awoke,
Athwart its face golden ripple broke,
And the queen kissed her nightly worshipers.
