THE LITERARY WA YSIDE.

The Progress of the World" the
Record of Current Events" and the
Leading Articles of the Month";
are popular departments in the Re-
view of Reviews, which if read from
month to month will furnish a fairly
complete understanding of the move
ment of events and of opinion
throughout the whole world. These
departments are especially full in the
October number, and are profusely
illustrated.
The Century has just "come Of
age" and in It's November number
begins it's twenty-second year with
some notable features" Mr.. Coles
e~ngravings of the masterpieces
of the Italian painters reaches a
climax in the full-page blocks, after
two of the Sibyls of Michelangelo,
which are printed as a double frontis-
piece in the Century for November,
and which are the prelude of the con-
Guiding year of this important
series, under the title can American
Achievement in Art" and stating
that these blocks of Mr.. Cole are still
classified by the treasury depart
ment, not as works of art, but
merely as manufactures Of wood"
The feature of the November Century
which is likely to attract the most
attention is probably the new novel,
THE Naulahka," by Rudyard Kip
ling and WOlcott Balestier.

A HIGH WA IMPROVEMENT.

EDITOR CALEDONIAN:-The tenden-
cy of rye olden time" was to build
Travelled roads yer the tops Of hills.
apparently choosing the steepest
ascent to the top. The road through
Spaulding neighborhood, this town,
was no exception, either from St.
Johnsbury Centre or from St. Johns
bury. The fathers" of our town,
instilled with the modern tendency
in economic road building and re-
pairing, have recently laid out a new
thoroughfare, in compliance with
petition presented, to the east of the
old highway On the heights, thereby
avoiding the ledgy and steep ascent
at top; besides they will hereafter
get rid of the expense of keeping the
snowdrifts subdued, which every
winter has been no small matter.
The work has just been completed,
and was well done. A more pleas
ant drive just out of town cannot be
conceived than a trip following the
river road east from Summerville to
Judge Hovey's, thence two miles 10
the height and limit of the new road,
which overlooks the fish pond Of
Messrs. Moore and Hartshorn, with
Danville and the adjacent country
spread out before you north and
west, while to the east a distinct
view of the Franconia range is seen.
In fact, the round trip from St.
Jo~hnsbury makes a p~leasurable
drive. T. c. U.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEA VOR CON-
VENTION.

The sixth annual meeting of the
Vermont Christian Endeavor Union
at BrattlebOro last week was an
other memorable event in the history
of that movement in this state. The
attendance was large and the inter
est manifested in all the sessions
proved conclusively that the young
people of Vermont believe in Chris
tan Endeavor and are willing to
work along the lines there laid out.
Thepapers and addresses were in the
main earnest and practical, abound
ing in helpful suggestions touching
the several departments of the work.
The Brattleboro societies rendered a
cordial hospitality, and the social
features of the meeting were not neg
lected. Secretary Towner in his
opening report said:
"A review of the reports from the
various societies indicates a marked
advance in conversions. Last year
at St. Johnsbury l reported 216 soci-
cites of Christian Endeavor in our
state. We have at present 255, a
gain of 80 over last years record.
Last year the 152 societies heard
from reported 5O57 active members
and 1905 associate, a total of 1862.
Up to the present time your secretary
has received statistics from 14S, who
report 5O9S active and 1876 asso-
ciate members, a total of 1894. At
St. Johnsbury 237 conversions were
reported during the year from 152
societies heard from. And now it
gives me great pleasure to say that
out of the 14S societies heard from
80 report 292 conversions"
The presence of General Secretary
Baer and Rev. H. c. Farrar of Troy,
n. V, and the addresses given by
them, added materially to the inter
est in the meeting. Bennington was
chosen as the place of the next an
nual gathering, and these officers
were elected:
President-Rev. L.. Marten, Ben.

Vice-presidents-Rev. H. NJ. Doug

AT THE PUMP

I'VE have done all we a do at
the pump house this fall" said Trus-
tee Blossom, land the entire COM
p%letion of the repairs there will have
to go over till next spring" Really
the most important part of the re-
pairs has been attended to. The old
wooden foundations on which the
pump rested were found to be very
rotten, and these have been replaced
by solid masonry and iron girders,
which will prove a substantial sup
port for the machinery. The eleva-
ton and encasing of the wheels could
not be done now, because it would
necessitate a complete shutdown of
the village system, and the St. Johns
bury Aqueduct company's resources
were not ample enough to warrant
a dependence on them for a supply
while the village water-works were at
rest. Preparations have been made
so that in the spring, when there is
plenty of water, the desired improve
ment on the wheels can be made.

The Intelligent Voter.
Politics should not be a battlefield
where one who leaves a cause, how
