YermOnt's Attractions.

In an editorial article On the charms of
New England, the Boston journal says
his of Vermont: Vermont has not the
magnificent seacoast of Maine, nor quite
the lofty mountain peaks of New Hamp-
shire, but she has potent charms of her
own. as evinced by the annually increas-
ing multitude of sojourners within her
borders. There are portions of Vermont
which are far less rugged than many
regions in the two eastward states. The
hills are not so high, the forests not so
dense, the surface smoother, the soil
mellower. 1t is to such places that
people who prefer nature in her softer
and more genial aspect love to resort.
But there are towering hills in Vermont
for those who like them, too, and wild,
dark woods and quiet and secluded val
leys. Lake Champlain is deservedly re-
garded as one of the most beautiful
sheets of inland water in America, and the
whole region about it is historic ground.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the tide
of summer travel to Vermont is increas.
ing year by year, that it's commercial
value il considered worthy of a place in
the official statistics of industrial prog
ress. AS compared with her two
sisters, Vermont has started little late
IN the race. ont now That she IS falrly IN,
Maine and New Hampshire must look to
to their laurels. Unhappy the lot Of the
man who is called upon to decide which
of these three fair states is the most
beautiful. 1t is task with which that
of Paris of old is almost boys play in
comparison. Each state has her thou
sands of devoted admirers, and each
state vows that she is the fairest, as she
views her charms mirrored in the waters,
Maine of the great blue ocean, New
Hampshire of Winnipesaukee and Ver-
mont of Champlain. Massachusetts,
perhaps, might be the arbiter of this
gay dispute-but Massachusetts is not
unconscious of her own modest merits.
herself, in point of natural attractions.

In the moonlight evening, long and still,

In the moonlight evening, long and still,
The youth assemble from many farm;
Though the air without was crisp and chill,
There's bright wood fire and welcome warm
Nuts and apples are passed around,
The hands of the clock get a backward turn,
Innocent frolic and mirth abound
Till low in their sockets the candles burn.
Young men and maidens of artless ways
Are brought together in groups like this;
Their hands are joined in the rural plays,
And sweet lips meet in the guileless kiss;
Twin hearts are linked with golden chain,
And love with marriage was early crowned;
How oft dream am there again,
Teaching school and boarding around.

TEACHING SCHOOL AND BOARDING
AROUND.
from Harper's Bazaar.


NV thoughts go back to the ROSY vine,
And memory paints anew the scenes
Altar in the bleak New England CLINE,
Though half century intervenes.
On n highway corner the school-house stands,
Under an elm tree, broad and tall,
And rollicking children in laughing bands
Come at the masters warning call
They pile together their sleds and skates,
Diigent study succeeds the play,
mountain stream turns gray stone mill,
That runs with a low and slumberous sound.
And there in fancy wander still,
Teaching school and boarding around. q
Near by is a farm house, large and square.
With its doors and easements of faded red,
A stOop that shades from the summer glare,
And wood well piled in the sheltering shed.
There's an ancient barn, with swallow holes
High In the gable, three in line;
The 1.-THE bay colt In the deep snow rolls;
From racks of hay feed the docile kline
Closely are huddled the timorous sheep,
As the fails resound from the threshing floor;
The pilfering poultry stealthily creep,
And silently watch at the open door &
For each stray kernel of Smelling grain. ~
Full of content was the lot found
Among the farm folk, honest and plain,
Teaching school and boarding around. ~
The farmers table has lavish supplies;
Chicken, and sausage of flavor rare,
Cruers and cookies, and buildings and pies,
Are items rich in the bill of fare.
The teacher sleeps in wide soft, bed,
Kept clean for guests in the great spare room,
With gay chintz curtains over his head
And blankets Woye in the old-time LOOM
The thrifty wife ere the break of day
Springs from her rest, though the morn is cool,
And breakfast ended, we haste away
Ger the shining crust, to the district school.
Here morals are pure and manners sincere,
And men in the church and state renowned
Have made the first step in a grand career
Teaching school and boarding around

Foreign workmen Mt tho ra,r.

An interesting question in relation to
the admission Of foreign laborcra who
como with exhibits to the fair was dis
cusscd recently by the committee on
federal Legislation. Many of the acmi-
official displays, such rs tho "Strcct
Sccnc in Cairo" which is designed to
furnish 4 picture of life in Egypt, will
be practically valuelcss unless natives
of those countries can como with those
exhibits. There will be large num-
bcr of such displays at the fair, md
in addition to these many other cx,lib-
itors will want to bring native mcchan-
les and nttcndant3. The treasury de-
pertinent at Washington made ruling
several months ago That certain classes
of foreign worlzmcn may be admitted,
but d further expression of opinion is
desired, and Secretary Foster will be
asked for additional information on the
subject. Director Edwin Walker feels
confident that tho dcciCion will be ia
vorablo to those who have occurred con-
ccssions to operate such attractions as

WRAPPED WITH SNAKES.
Adventure OF Farmer Who Descended
Into an Old Well.

adventure OF q FARMER Who Descended
Into an Old Well.
Alexander Krolsky, a farmer near
Derby Hill, Conn, recently had IN cx-
pcrience with snakes that has rendered
him temporarily insane, and the ply
sicians are not sure that he will ever re-
gain his reason. KrolslSy went down
into n we'll on his farm for the purpose
of cleaning it out. lie had been down
but q few minutes when he shouted to
his cousin, who had lowered him, to
draw him up. The man began pulling
up tho rope. When he had helped
Krolslzy nearly to the top he looked
down and saw several black and brown
water snakes were around Krolslly's
arm and body.
The sight of tho scrpcnts scared the
man, and, dropping the rope, he ran
bowling away. Krols1iy's shrielis were
heard by laborcrs short distance
away, and they ran to the well. Ilrol-
sky was battling desperately with the
snakes. lie was quickly helped out.
From his body five immense snakes
wcrc torn and killed. Ills mind is now
dcrangcd. The old we'll in which he
encountered the reptiles is apparently
full of them. A lantern lowered into
! it revealed q countless number Of ser
pcnt heads protruding from the wall.

Pfgmy Camols OF Persia.

The western part of Persia is inhab-
itcd by species of camel which is the
pigmy of its race. Typical specimens of
this creature are almost q pure white in
color, aud are, on that account, wor-
SHIPPED by some tribes Of the natives.
When the shah was in Berlin In 1889
he was very kindly treated by the city
authorities, and in return presented the
municipality with pair of these little
white wonders. The largest Of the two
weighed but sixty pounds and was only
wenty-seven inches high.

SOME FAMOUS OLD WOMEN.
Tho Countess of Desmond Lived to Be
145 and Then Died by m Accident.

Tho Countess OF Desmond Lived to BE
145 and Then Died by IN Accident.
1t Is an acknowledged fact that O
great age is attained by women of:ener
than by men. Tissot, with what the
ST. Louis Post-Dispatch calls doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by dcciar-
ing that the large amount of talking
for which women arc famous is n very
healthy exercise and promotes the cir
culation of the blood without ovcreX-
erting the organs. The true reason,
probably, lies in the quictcr and mor
regular life usually led by women,
whose nervous system and brains are
consequently not worn out SO quickly,
as 4 rule, rs those OF men. One of the
most famous OF female ccntcnariaus
was the countess of Desmond. who
lived to be one hundred and forty-five
and died in tho reign of James I. from
the effects of an accident. This won
dcrful t found herself 10 the age
of n hundred SO lively and strong as
TO be ablc to take part in 4 dance, and
when she was ono hundred and forty
She travelled all TIC way from Bristol to
London-no tri1ing journey in those
days-in order to attend personally to
ON business affairs.
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by Il French
woman, Marie Prion, who died in st.
Colombo in June, 1898, it is said, at the
wonderful age of one hundred and Gfty-
eight. Toward the end of her life she
lived exclusively on goats milk and
cheese. Although her body was SO
shrunk that she weighed only forty-six
pounds, she reclaimed all her mental
faculties to the last.
1t is an extraordinary but incon-
tcstablc fact that solne women ut the
age when most people die undergo 4
sort of natural process of rcjuvenGtion
tho hair and teeth grow again, the
wrinkles disappear from the skin, and
sight and hearing ~rcacquirc their
former sharpnc S. A lnarquisc dc Mir
abcau Is an example Of this rare and re-
raarl;ablc phenomenon; she died at the
age OF c~ighty-;ix, but n few years be-
fore her death she became in appear
ancc quito young again. The same
change happened to Il nun Of the name
of Marguerite Vcrdur, who at the age
OF siXty-two lost her wrinkles, regaincd
her sight and grew several new teeth.
When she died, ten years later, her ap-
pcarance was almost chat of q young
girl.

The theory of this has proved to be
correct The cat never leaves the main
tlonr of thh bail ling, and apparently is
satisfied with the hunting ground it
