VERMONT NE WIS.
Supt. Barney Drowned

Superintendent P w. Barney of
the Champlain transportation COM
pany was drowned Sunday morn
ing in Lake George. He, with his
wife and children, left Saturday
morning to spend Sunday at the
company's hotel on the Fourteen
Mile Island in Lake George. Sun
day morning the party took row
boat and rowed over to Pearl Point,
where the steamer Horizon lies over
Sunday Mr.. Barnev's son Walter
stepped short distance on to rock
and dropped line in to see if he
could catch fish. In pulling out
the line it became tangled on limb.
In the endeavor to unfasten it, he
fell into the lake and sank. Mr..
Barney at once dove for him, and
getting hold of the boys leg came
up and handed him to Mrs. Barney,
who pulled him out. Mr.. Barney
was drowning when he came up
with the boy. After Mrs. Barney
had taken hold of Walters foot
Mr. Barney Immediately sank and
did not come up again. Help was
near at hand ana in a few minutes
his body was recovered. Physicians
found that in diving he had struck
rock, which knocked his false teeth
down his throat. He never revived
after being taken from the water
Mr.. Barney was an expert swimmer,
and it is a wonder after receiving
such a blow he could have saved his
boys life. Strangling and almost
dead he did not give up until he
handed the limb of his boy to his
wife Mr.. Barney was about As
years Of age and had held the posi-
ton of superintendent of the Cham
plain Transportat ton company since
the retirement of A. L. Inman in
1875. Mrs. Barney and three chill
dren, Helen, aged IA, Walter, aged
II, whom he lost his life in saving,
and Rupert, aged Z, survive him.

Gov. Page has received letter
from the management of the world S
fair, asking if they should reserve a
lot for Vermont for a state building,
and he was obliged to answer that
the amount appropriated by the
state would not permit of state
building. Such condition of affairs
is not at all commensurate with the
dignity of the commonwealth, and
possibly the special session of the
legislature will afford opportunity
for improving on the meagre sum
named at the regular session for Yer
mont's representation at the fair.

THE PARADISE FISH.
A Handsome Member Of the Finny Tribe Found
in China.

A handsome Member OF the Ftnny Tribe round
in China.
The paradise fish. like the German
canary, is a product OF cultivation, as
there is no place known where it is
found in wild state. 1t is a native of
China. There they are cultivated and
kept in aquaria as ornamental fish
only. The male is the larger of the
two sexes, measuring, when full
grown. from the mouth to the end OF
the caudal fin, three and half inches.
The body is shaped very much like
that OF the pumpkin seed suntish. Its
colors surpass in brilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head is ashy gray. notified with
irregular dark spots. Tho giIls are
azurine blue. bordered with brilliant
crimson. The eyes are yellow and
red, with black pupil. The sides Of
the body and the crescent shaped
caudal fin are deep crimson; the form
err having ten or twelve vertical blue
stripes. while the latter is bordered
with blue.
The under surface OF the body is
continually changing color-some-
times it is white, at others gray or
black. The dorsal and anal fins are
remarkably large, hence the generic
name OF the fish-macro; large; podus,
the foot or fin. Both fins are shaped
alike. They are striped and dotted
with brown and bordered with blue.
The dull-colored ventral fins are pro-
tected by brilliant scarlet-cOlored
spine. extending three-fourths OF an
inch behind the fins. The pectorals,
situated directly above the ventral
fins. are we'll shaped. but. being trans
parent. show no color. Hugo Muleret

What the Farmer Wants.

Very few farmers have the time, aud
still fcwer have the inclination to read
books on farm practice. The practice
on the farm varies according to the lay
OF the land, the climate, the tempera-
ture. the depth and the character OF
the soil. the man himself and the tools
and machinery he possesses. 1t can
not be expected that all these can be
alte red or changed, nor in most cases
any one OF them. to suit the views Of
editorial farmers. After conceding
these points there is but one course
left. Teach the principle which gov
ems the production OF each crop. the
proper fertilizer for it. the essential
rules for cultivating and housing
il, and trust the farmer to be shrewd
enough for him to discover for himself
the best mode for him to go about it,
according to his means and his appli'
ances for the work.

Putting in q little salt before beat

the process.
Use one part salt and three parts
hard wood ashes mixed to paste with
water to mend cracked griddles or -

Rinse milk utensils in salt and
water. and when there is no boiling
water. wash sour milk pans in cold
water and rinse in strong soda water
and lastly in pure cold water.
In cutting corn bread hold the knife
