VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD.

Captain Hoyt, who inspected the V. n.
G. at Bennington, has made his report
to the War Department. Our militia
consists of twelve companies of fifty men
each, about one in five hundred of those
capable of bearing arms Captain Hoyt
makes some sharp criticisms. He
thinks the militia is too small. He
should remember that the State is small.
We have no large cities to breed riots
and make demand upon the militia.
This service is expensive. To sustain a
large number Of companies there must
be local pride to call out voluntary con-
tributions, If men are needed in an
emergency they can be gathered and
rapidly drilled. While he thinks that
some of the companies are fairly well
drilled, others, he says, are deficient.
They lack in practice drills. The Off
GERS had good capacity but not much
experience. The enlisted men were too
young, green and even physically dis
qualified. The Captain was evidently
disappointed that he did not find men
equal to those who had been trained for
years. But his chief ground of COM
plant was the lack of Difference shown
by the men to the officers. They were
too familiar. But the Captain should
remember that men and officers belong
to the same social rank. They are
thrown into this relation so seldom that
they do not readily adapt themselves to
it on the rare occasions when duty de-
mands it. Vermonters are not lawless,
and if sometimes during the war they
disobeyed orders, their enthusiasm got
away with their prudence. We are sorry
that the Captain did not find things in a
better condition, but he must remember
that we have abandoned the old maxim
and intimes of peace prepare to keep it
right along .-Herald and Nelcs.

NJ. Allen, it seems, died at Fort Nelson,
Virginia, in 1918, and the sword was re-
tanned by his widow, Agnes B. Allen.
After the death of her husband Mrs.
Allen made her home with Hannibal
Allen Hopkins, her favorite nephew and
heir. until death, in 1868. The sword of
Ethan Allen then became the property
of Hannibal NJ. Allen. He died in 1871
and left it to his widow. On her death
it became the property of her son, Fl.
Allen Hopkins, and is now in his pos
session, together with the commissions
above referred to.
There appears to be no reason to doubt
that with this sword Col. Ethan Allen
backed up his demand for the surrender
of the fortress of Ticonderoga, May 10th,
1775. In Memoir of Col. Ethan Allen,
Containing the Most Interesting Incl
dents of his Private and Public Career,
F. P. Allen, Pr; Plattsburg, N. Y,
193F'-of which it is stated but two or
three copies are in eXistence-are found
Ethan Aliens own words in describing
the use of the sword on that occasion.
At the time of the assault a British
sentry made a pass at one of the Ameri-
can officers with a bayonet and slightly
wounded him. ''My first thought"
says Col. Allen, was to kill him with
my sword; but in an instant 1 altered the
design and fury of the blow to a slight
cut upon the side of the head, upon
which he dropped his gun and asked for
quarter, which I readily granted him,
and demanded of him the place where
the commanding officer kept"
Col. Allen says of the British COM
mander of whom the surrender of the
fort was demanded: "He asked me by
what authority l demanded it. l an
swered him, In the name of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental Congress.
The authority of the Congress being
very little known at that time, he began
to speak again, but l interrupted him,
and with my drawn sword over his head
again demanded an immediate surren-
der of the garrison, with which he then
complied" 1.-THE sum-" adds brave
Ethan Allen to his account of the vic
tory, seemed to rise that morning with
superior lustre, and Ticonderoga and
its dependencies smiled on its con-
querors and tossed about the flowing
bowl and wished success to Congress
and liberty and freedom to America"

Remembering that this is an agricul-


tural country, it is somewhat strange
circumstance that we last year imported
for food purposes more than five times
as many sheep as we exported for the
same purpose, the importations having
reached 1886, 153 head, against exports of
barely 60,947 head.
The really meritorious varieties of
thoroughbred hens are Plymouth Rocks,
Light Brahmas and Leghorns. They are
the three great staple breeds of the fan
cier and farmer. They are valuable in
themselves, and impress their superior
ity upon the common run OF fowls when
crossed with them.
An old Massachusetts, law of the seven
teenth century says: ''If any dogge shall
kill any sheepe, the owner shall either
hange his dogge forthwith or pay double
damage for We sheepe. If We dogge hath
been seen to course or bite any sheepe
before, not being settle on, and his owner
had notice thereof, then he shall both
hange his dogge and pay for ye sheepe."

In New England, manures applied to

1t is a well established fact that butter

oleomargarine requires from one hun

THE CANADIAN CENT BRINGS BAD
LUCK

After the accident to the steamer
Penobscot, on her last trip to Bangor,
Purser Hanscomb, who resides in Win
terport, got on shore there, thinking the
boat would not make the trip from Ban
gor, Sunday, as contemplated.
He left word, however, that he be kept
posted, and late Saturday afternoon was
instructed by telephone to come to Ban
gor, and the boat would leave that night
for Boston, and did so. But the fog
came in thick, whereupon Captain In
graham concluded not to leave for Bos-
ton until Sunday morning, and Purser
Hanscomb returned to WinpOrt, intend
ing to come to Bangor Sunday night and
take the night train for Boston, boarding
the Penobscot there Monday morning.
Sunday afternoon his relatives drove
him up to the Hampden end of the cleo
trio road, where he took car. Coming
up to the city he paid the car conductor
a fare, receiving in change a Canadian
cent. When he saw this he threw it into
the mud as though it had stung him.
He was asked why he did so, and said:
"Why, would not put that in my
ocket for ten dollars Canada cents
have brought bad luck to the Penobscot.
You know, and SO does everybody, she
has been ashore five times and each time
l have found Canadian cent in the cash
drawer.
when we nearly lost the boat on Otter
Island l found two of them. When pas
sengers give them to me for fare always
toss them overheard through the Office
window. Bet you that cent brings bad
luck"
Hardly were the words finished when
a man began to tell of the extreme low
tide in the river Sunday morning and
what fog was upon the river. He said
the Penobscot went down very carefully,
but hit Steamboat Rock opposite the
Maine Central and again on a bed of
edgings near High Head.
Told you So" said Purser Hanscomb.
THE Penobseot is all right, but Cana
da cent brings bad luck dead sure. -

You Take no Risk

In buying Hoods Sarsaparilla, for it is
everywhere recognized as the standard
building-up medicine and blood purifier.
1t has won its way to the front by its
own intrinsic merit, and has the largest
sale of any preparation of its kind. Any
honest druggist will confirm this state
ment. If you decide to take Hoods Sar-
saparilla, do not be induced to buy any
thing else instead. Be sure to get

The question as to whether animals
shall be kept for special or general uses
is largely to be determined by condi-
tons, as locality, natural production,
markets and various other things.
Bear in mind that your ducklings are
voracious, but as they grow rapidly and
reach the market in half the time re-
quired for chicks, they do not cost any
more per pound to produce than do
chicks. r.@
Paper money has 30 many advantages
that its continued use is certain; but

which it rests the better. Our nation
cannot afford to make any reckless ex-

As ducks rarely have an established
nest, but usually lay wherever they
chance to be, they should be confined to
shed or small enclosure until eight or
nine o'clock in the forenoon, that the
eggs may be found.

A Michigan Family owns the Blade he
Carried at Ticonderoga.
The sword which Ethan Allen carried
when he demanded the surrender of
Fort Ticonderoga Sin the name of the
Great Jehovah and the Continental Con-
gress," is, by gift and inheritance, the
personal property of II. Allen Hopkins,
resident of Jackson, Mich. The sword
is an old-fashioned blade, nicked and
venerable, q inches long and slightly
curved The handle measures 7 inches,
making the total length of the weapon
"a inches. The handle is of bone and
horn. The mounting is of silver washed
with gold, the latter being partially
worn off. A dogs head of silver forms
the end of a handle, and from this to the
guard runs silver chain. On one Of
the silver bands of the scabbard the
name ETHAN Allen" is engraved in large
letters; on another band, "E. Brasher,
maker, New York" and on still another,
in script, ''Martin Vosburg, 1775." Why
this name appears no one knows. Upon
the death of Ethan Allen the sword be-
came the property of his son, Capt. Han
nibal NJ. Allen.
