MARBLE.
A MODEL MARBLE TOWN.

HE great trouble with Vermoners is the fact that they
fail to appreciate fully the good things of their own
State until they obliged to leave ii but then they al
ways look back with pride upon the thought that they
born and bred among the Green Mountain hills While
to our beautiful hills and valleys seem commonplace,
a stranger coming among them for the first time is
charmed with their beauty and grandeur. &c. too, with
the principal industries within State. We do not
fully realize the Importance of them the way in which
they regarded in the outside world.
While Vermont is spoken of the Green Mouna ain
State it is not inrequenty called the Marble State and
to this title it is without doubt fully entitled The census
returns for 1890 furnish information in regard to the
growth of the marble industry and Vermonts share in
the that must surely be very gratifying to all resi-
dents of the State. The figures compiled show that
than 63 per cent of all the marble produced in the
United States comes from Vermont alone and of the bet
ter quality and grades used for monumental purposes not
far from ninety per cent is quarried among our hills
The most valuable portion of this wonderful deposit is in
Rutland County, and the of the industry in this
County is Proctor.

part of the present century, hut it is only within the past
thirty years that it has been worked to any extent in

VERMONT'S MINERAL WEALTH.

I has almost been overlooked even by her people
that Vermont is rapidly taking front rank possess
ing valuable mineral deposits.
In marble she leads all other States Estimating
fairly those who failed to report find that in 1889
there invested in the marble business about six mill
ions of capital nearly three thousand men were en-
poyed receiving wages and salaries about one million
dollars. The out put about million, seven hun
dred thousand cubic feet, valued at about two million
dollars.
The granite of this State has SUPERIOR if it has
equal If the present rate Of increase continues Vermont
will lead in this we'll in marble. Six hundred
thousand dollars capital is invested, about fifteen hun
dred men employed receiving in wages and salaries
five hundred thousand dollars The out put for 1889
was five hundred thousand cubic feet valued at nearly
one million dollars.
The slate industry is also rapidly developing 1t has
a capital invested of five hundred thousand dollars
ploys about thousand men, paying them in wages
and salaries about four hundred thousand dollars The
out put for 1889 one hundred and fifty thousand
squares of roofing slate and one million five hundred
thousand square feet of milling Stock valued at six hun
dred thousand dollars.
Besides these larger industries there successful min

At the session of the Legislature, the Vermont
Fish and Game League incorporated. Starting off
with hundred and twelve charter members its
bers have steadily increased. 1t is State institution
working for the benefit of all its inhabitants. Its
bership roll open to all citizens interested in the well
fare of Vermont.
We have fish and game laws, too many Of them, but
they exist in many sections only to be dsregarded AS
in other States the greatest difficulties in the way of
cessful protection of fish and game conflicting and
misleading laws and ignorance of them. Experience in
other States goes show that proper observance
of the laws follows the erection of hatchery Appar
emily influenced by the work of State in this
matter Congress made liberal appropriation with which
to purchase site and establish o. S. hatchery within
our limits Thus with two hatcheres within the State,
it only remains proper legislation to protect
fry and young fish and see that the laws enforced
One of the most crying evils to-day and one which on
certain streams would accomplish by prevention
than the hatcheres will accomplish by propagation, is
the reckless discharge of sawdust me refuse from gas
houses &c. into streams which would otherwise abound
in fish, If the State engages in fish culture and would
make a success of it, this evil must be corrected
This article is written from purely economic and
business standpoint will not enter into the details of
the pleasure to be derived from fishing and shooting, or
the recreation coming from such pure outdoor sports
Our citizens would be benefited if they would spare
time to themselves and encourage youthin these
healthfu amusements.
With all the gifts of nature at our DOORS let us show
roads, wise protection of forests and faithful
attention to the work just inaugurated to increase
fish and game supply, Vermont will be truly called the
Arcadia of America.

Our Sidewalk Etiquette.

''Talking about the crowds which throng on
the north side of the Avenue between the
Capitol and Treasury these fine afternoons"
said West End society man to group of
interested listeners, "the laws of etiquette,
like other laws, are frequently observed after
they have become dead letter, practically
speaking. For instance, it is considered the
proper caper for gentleman to give lady
with whom he is walking the inside of the
pavement Yet this rule is not adapted to
Washington. 1t may, however, apply to
city or village where the narrowness of the
sidewalks allows only two to walk abreast
In this city the lady should walk to the right
of the gentleman. On a crowded thorough
fare this is especially desirable. 1t is the rule
to turn to the right. If the lady is on the
right side of the gentleman she will not be
subjected to the swear and tear" SO to speak,
of the passing throng. Any one who, on
day of parade or other crush, or even on
these fine evenings when the promenaders are
out in force, will act according to the COM
nonsense rule here laid down will under
stand what is meant. This is a case, as it
were, in which sauce for the village or one

SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Teachers and Pupils working to Get
One in Every school.

Teachers and Pupils Working to Get
One in Every School.
For the past few years both pupils and
teachers of the public schools have worked
hard and with some success to put library in
every school-house. Already the benefit is ap
parent especially in the high schools. There
are more books in biography, science, travel,
and even politics read by these young men
and women in the high schools than works of
fiction. 1t is a good sign and says a good
deal for the methods of the teachers. The
teachers have felt the need of good working
library as much as the pupils, and in sew
eral of the school districts the plans are being
perfected for getting it. A well-known edu-
tor, who is deeply interested in the
project, says: "What is needed is a well-se-
lected technical library, divided into depart
ments, so that when teachers feel they need
more light on n subject they will know where
to look for it, There should be books relating
to the history and philosophy of teaching.
Another department should consist of reports,
charts, ETC., relating to schools in Amer
lea, as well as everything that pertains
to public education in other countries. A
teacher should find in this school library every
thing written pertaining to his grade Of school.
Lastly, a department should be devoted to
classical and current Observation-Disclosures that
would suggest topics to his mind for example
or teaching, as well as relaxation and amuse-
ment for himself All the best treatises on
natural history, science physics, and art
should find a place on the shelves Of
teachers library. 1t ought not to take much
talking to convince any one of intelligence
how important feature of equipment
teachers library may be made. A good style
and the art Of refined expression comes largely
through reading good books. And of all men
and women those forming young minds and
moulding the men and women of the future
should have them. This library should be
centrally located--one in each school divi-
sion. The first division have already
made move to raise funds for library
by giving the cantata of .'The May
Queen" on MAY Is at Albaugh's Opera
House. The schools in the first division
include those in the Franklin. Dennison,
Force, Grant, Thompson, Adams Weightman,
and Berret buildings, and the whole enroll
ment of pupils is over four thousand, distrib-
uted through eighty-fve schools. In no
city in the Union are the people who
patronize the public school generally so
well to do, and there ought to be no
difficulty in obtaining funds for school
library The teachers library is as much
needed as anything that can be imagined
or desired. If all the fathers and mothers,
brothers and sisters of the pupils in the first
division 60 to see "The May Queen" cantata
on the 18th the teachers library will be
fixed fact by the reassembling of the schools
in September The library will probably be
located in the Franklin building"
