THE COLONIES OF SPACE.

 Nfnetv-Ffxe in the shade.

$fnefy-kixe in the shade.
 We rarely realize how easily the earth parts with it's heat, and how cold space is through wfich the earth sweeps in it's orbit. Nor do we commonly appreciate how re Iantlessly space sucks away the heat which the earth has garnered from the sunbeams. out into its H. limitable depths. Way out in space is q cold so intense that we fairly fail to grasp it's meaning. Perhaps 30Oo or 400 below the freezing point of water, some philosophers think, are the dark recesses beyond our atmosphere. And night and day, summer and winter, this insatiate space is robbing us of our heat and fighting with demoniac power to reduce our globe to it's own bitter chill. So after all our summer and winter temperatures are only maintained by the residue of the suns heat which we have been able to store up and keep hold of in spite of the pitiless demands of space. Our margin sometimes get so reduced on nights in winter that we can readily believe the astronomers and physicists when they tell us that a reduction of the suns heat by : per cent. and a slight increase in the number of winter days woald suffice to bring again to our hemisphere a new age of ice, with its inevitable desolation. The balance is really a nice one be- tween the heat we daily gather from the sun and the share of 1t which we lose in pace.--Harper's Magazine.

who are confirmed drinkers-that is,
who have this horrible, unnatural rum

bitterly, and long to be free from it.
But they cannot get out of bondage.
One of the many physical evils of

is to have the manufacture and sale

Summer Homes in Vermont.

Below is the statement of the results of
the effort of the Central Vermont r abroad
Company during last summer, to direct to
Vermont a lar er share OF the summer
travel. The showing is so satisfactory,
the railway management has decided to
publish new edition of Summer Homes
for 1892. The attention Of every one inter-
ested in Vermont, and OF every one in Yer
mont who wants to lake dollar by keep
ing summer boarders is dir .cted to the fol-
lowing announcement: The efforts made
last year by the management OF the Central
Vermont Railroad Company to place before
the dwellers in the cities the attractions OF
Vermont country homes as summer resorts,
resulted in bringing into the state many
thousand visitors who had never before be-
held the scenic beauty and charming land
scapes which lie within each valley, and on
every hillside in the Green Mountain state.
The amount of money left with our farmers
and boarding house keepers by these city
people aggregated thousands of dollars. A
complete canvass of those who visited tho
towns along the line OF the Central Yer
mont railroad was made at the close OF the
season, and the result exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the management
These reports are on file in the office of the
General Passenger Agent aud they form
very interesting reading. They show that
hundreds OF people were attracted to YER
mont through the medium of Summer
Homes among the Green Hills of Vermont"
Central Vermont railroad The responses
made to the circular letter of enquiry re-
garding summer boarders, express the sat
isfaction OF the writers at the result of the
seasons business and show that those who
took boarders received much greater
amount of revenue than the railroa Is, dur
ing the season, from city visitors. In short,
it. was clearly demonstrated that Vermont's
chances of securing her share of the large
sums of money, now flowing into other
states, are limited only by the amount of
money available for spending in advertis-
ing the superior attractions of the Green
Mountain state. The edition OF Summer
Homes for 1892 is now being thoroughly
revised, and those desirous of having their
names appear in the forthcoming number
should make application at once To 5, w.
Cummings, General Passenger Agent Cen
tral Vermont railroad ST. Adams, VT. The
new edition will consist of 1900 copies,
and this work will give a fuller description
of the towns and villages than the one is
sued last year. 1t will be an attrac i've and
valuable publication. The attention OF
city people is being turned more than ever
before to Vermont and Lake Champlain as
summer resorts, aud the coming wear re-
quires an increased effort in this direction
