Chemically the apple is composed
of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar,
gum, chlorophyll, malic acid, gallo
acid, lime and much water. Further
more, the German analysts say that
the apple contains larger percent
age of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter, lethiein of
the brain and spinal cord. 1t is, per-
haps, for the same reason rudely I'M
derstood that old Scandinavian tradi-
tions represented the apple as the
food of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves to be growing feeble and
infirm, resorted to this fruit for re-
newing their powers of mind and
body.
Ladies should be careful how
they use vaseline on the face, for the
result of a number of experiments
has induced the suspicion that per-
sistent use of it will cause hair TO
grow on almost any part OF the face.
There have been instances known of
ladies inducing heavy growth of
hair on the upper lip and chin by u.s.
ing vaseline to drive away pimples.
Like some other medicaments, vase
line is too new to allow of all it's pro.
perties being yet known, but the fact
that it will induce growth of hair
if presistently used seems to be fairly
well settled.

many peculiaritieS. Among them in
his penchant for perpleXing mishaps
on journey He is train misser,"
a name he coined for himself. If there
is change Of time, it's the train Ril-
ey wants that has changed. If a
train on the road is late, its a train
Riley is on. If connection is missed
its the one Riley wants to make. If
he goes into Union station, he
boards the wrong train, and when the
conductor comes along he finds very
modest, very blonde, and very per-
picked young man, whose very actions
denotes fear that he has made mis-
take, and sure enough it's Riley on a
train bound for Des MoineS with a
ticket to WATERFOWL. Bill Nye SAYS
its his bump or location. When
they made Riley's head they run out
of gray matter before they had filed
his bump of location, and they filled

representative of the bright, sturdy,
Vermont Yankee in the best sense.
When he becomes governor of the
state there will be an honest and
practical man at the helm.
Windsor County is probably out of
the field, unless, without his wish, some
of his friends put Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher
to the front. Gov. Fletcher is too
bright man, and has been too strong
an opponent to the promotion rule, to
allow himself to be beaten on that is
sue at this time. He is the sort of
man who will keep green and keep
over few years.
This let's us drop down to Windham
county, where they are claiming the
governorship belongs this year. Here
the most popular candidate is Col. Levi
K. Fuller of Brattleboro. Col Fuller is
one of the best known citizens of the
state Like Gov. Page or Col. Fair
banks, he is eminently a business man,
and has wide knowledge Of matters
duu u1Su. IIiO SApOIIOllCO LII CAIO 1OS
islature well fits him for the executive
chair, should he reach it. Col. Fuller
is man of unblemished private char
acter, genuine, public spirited Chris
tian gentleman, who makes and holds
friends wherever he is known. Many
who are interested in the welfare of
the state, and who wish to magnify
her interests at the Worlds Fair next
year, believe that Col. Fuller is the
best man for her to make chief Exec
utive. He is largely interested in our
manufacturing and productive inter
ests, and would put time and execu-
tive ability into the work of pushing
her interests to the front as far as pos
sibIe.
Taking the whole matter into mind,
we hardly see how the state can do
better than to accept the Windham
county candidate. We hope that in
the ante convention discussion there
will be no attempt on the part of any
to disparage the claims and the worth
of any candidates so far named. They
are worthy men, and wherever the
choice falls it should be accepted with
the utmost unanimitty and good feel
ing. Harmony, enthusiasm and big
republican majority are the things de-
sirable at this time.

MAPLE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The following is brief synopsis Of
the regulations defining the duties of
collectors of internal revenue to ma
pie sugar producers, and of sugar
weighers, chemists and sugar produc-
ers and the sugar bounty law.
DUTIES OF COLLECTORS OF INTERNAL
REVENUE.
Collectors will inform maple sugar
producers that sugar containing 80
per cent or more, of pure sugar, is ell
igible to bounty.
They will, upon request, furnish
blank forms to sugar producers, and
instruct them in the steps necessary
to be taken for obtaining bounty.
They will sub divide the districts to
meet the requirements of applicants
for bounty, and stationa a sugar weigh
er at some convent point in each
sub division.
They will provide weighers with
blank returns, triers, or sampling in
struments, sample boxes, stencil
plates, blank books, and when neces
sary with scales.
They will examine producers appi-
cations and daily records, weighers'
returns and chemists classifications,
find the amount due the purchaser,
certify the same to the commission
er of internal revenue, and, when re-
ceived, transmit checks in payment
of bounty to the producers entitled
thereto.
DUTIES OF SUGAR WEIGHERS
Weighers will see that licensed ap
plicants for bounty make returns at
the beginning of the sugar season of
all sugar and syrup on hand.
They will, during the sugar season,
weigh at their stations, all sugar pre-
sented to them, in packages of ten
pounds or more, by licensed appi-
ances and mark each package weigh
ed with the weigher's name, gross
weight, tare and net weight, enter
ing the weight in book (No. y pro-
vided for the purpose.
They will, at the close of the sugar
season, beginning on the date desig-
mated by the collector, visit each fac
tory in their respective sub divisions,
and weigh, mark and record in like
manner all the sugar left on hand.
They will make as many sub divis
ions of the different lots presented for
weighing as there are different kinds
of grades in the lot, and draw one
sample of three ounces from each sub
division, the sample to be drawn as
to fairly represent the lot sub division
from which it is taken.
The samples will be put in the box
es provided, covered Immediately,
and the blank label on the box filed
out.

One prominent journal estimates
ed States at s12,oOO,OOO, and other

resents an enormous loss of property,
which would be calamitous to the
losers but for the modern system of
fire insurance which distributes the
losses among the many.
