are standing now in nursery rows. is
! proposed to distribute these gratuitOusly in

that they can make profitable use of them
keep accurate record Of ther growth, hardi-
ness and productveness, and report from

Mrs. Bicknell's spring millinery
opening will be annouaced in our adj
vertising columns in an early issue.
She is proposing to make this the
most complete event in its line ever
held in this section. She has secured
the services of Miss e, Florence Hall
of Boston, trimmer who has had
much experience in the toniest and
most fashionable millinery establish
ments of Boston and vicinity. With
roomy and attractive store, large and
varied stock of fine quality and a sys-
tenn of prices consistent with legiti-
mate and honest dealing there can be
no doubt OF the success of Mrs. Blck-
nells business future.
Governor Page of this State has is
sued an appeal for collection to be
taken up in every church in the state
holding Fast Day service, for the starv-
ing millions of Russia. This of course
will reach very few who would gladly
help in this fearful crisis of famine in
Russia. The appeal says:
''The fierce winter, with all it involved of
suffering, is now thing of the past, but it
is more than replaced by the Increasing
terrors of disease from which few escape.
The picture is still that of millions of
galnt haggard, desolate, dying families; of
children appealing to weeping mothers,
whose agony of distress makes sole answer
in wailingS and lamentations of fathers re-
linquiShing their share of discriminating
stores, bidding farewell to wives and chill
dren they cannot save, and going forth in
anxious quest of food enough to save them
selves; of numbers in every village not only
starving but sick with famine-fever and
pleading through tears for the fastening of
death they cannot escape; finally, of loved
ones dead in many a desolatc home where
there is not strength enough in those who
survive to bear them forth for burial"
That this appeal may not miscarry,
will you send in your contributions to
either of the pastors of the churches in
Bradford, and those at distance do
the same, or send it to Mr.. E. o.
Leonard, treasurer of the bank, who
will see that it is sent to the Hon. FL.
F. Field, State Treasurer, Rutland,
this State.

4 Definition.

The difficulty of defining certain very
simple words is known to no one better
than to the makers of dictionaries. The
word life" has bothered dehners great
deal; and one photographer was unable
TO do any better, IN making his diction-
airy, than adopt schoolboy's definition
of the word What Is hfe?' asked the
schoolmaster. Being alive" answered
the boy; and the photographer put it in
his dictionary as his formal definition OF
the word-,.the state OF being alive"
The most elaborate scientific defini-
ton of the word does not define 1t bet
ter, because men Of science do not really
know what HE Is. In a certain text
book of science, used in a great college,
the definition Of the word was the fol-
lowing:

A Highly Civilized Race In the Heart OF |

mistakes with regard to Africa, and
one of the greatest is that Of consider
ing the Congo region the best part OF
the continent The Congo district is
practically worthless, although labori-
GUS efforts have been made TO colonize
II, but the Niger Valley one of the
richest regions on the globe, is neg
lected. Little commerce OF value comes
from the Congo, while the exports from
the Niger are worth upward OF $50, ,OOO,-

and the Kong Mountain region, which
are set down in our maps as part of the
Sahara, are inhabited by two tribes OF
people, the Foolahs and the Mandin-
goes, who are really in an advanced
state of civilization. They manufacture
excellent cloths, are metal workers,
make iron swords equal to any in the
world, produce their own guns and buy
nothing from the white traders but the
best grades of Silks satins, fine cloth
and repeating rifles and ammunition.
They have processes of tanning by
which they produce the finest leather
in the world. They will take the or
binary grades of leather, such as with
us is used for shoe leather, and by their
methods Of tanning will evolve a
leather perfectly waterproof, that will
wear for years and remain as soft and
pliable as an old glove. A pair OF boots
made from such leather, reaching to
the knees aud ornamented with small
metal buttons, will sell among them for
$50 or more, and be cheap at the price,
for they will wear half lifetime. /
