The Right Kind of Bread.

Sir Erastus Wiman, having settled
many aher of the vexed questions of
this universe, now comes to the relief of
dyspeptics, which means most of the
human race, and tells us what kind of
bread we ought to eat to improve our
health. Mr., Wiman is right in his con-
| illusions too. In The North American
Review he points to the fact that in
spite OF health, reason, common sense
and even of proper gustatory taste,
civilized people will demand white,
starchy -four from which to make their
bread. Whether they do this because
they think II darker colored bread will
hint dimly of time when all their an
cestors We're obliged to eat black bread
on account of poverty, one cannot make
out, but there certainly is no right kind
of reason for mankind insisting on white
bread to the destruction of its teeth and
digestion.
The whole berry of the wheat, ground
to such tineness that none of it will act
as an irritant to the lining membranes
of the digestive apparatus, is what we
want, says E. w We want it because
the germ of the wheat contains some of
the most important elements of human
food-fat, ash and phosphoric acid. But
fashionable taste throws out this germ
because it slightly colors the white
flour, Again, the cerealine of the bran
is most important aid to nutrition,
actually helping to digest not only
bread, but other articles of food. But
this, too, must be sacrificed.
To remedy the unnatural and un-
healthful tastes Of civilized people in the
matter of bread company in London
started few years ago mill for the
grinding of whole wheat and making a
palatable flour with all the grain left in
In this they have succeeded so well as
to overcome to some extent in England
the prejudice against a golden brown
flour. They have produced -four from
which is made the London whole meal
bread" so called. Mr.. Wiman thinks this
is the best bread in the world, and those
who have tasted it will be inclined to
agree with him. Why can we not have
as good in America? London millers
say it is because Americans will not
take time to properly grind the wheat.

Parson Dill was tried, of all places in
the world, in New Jersey, for being too
attentive to the ladies. One of the accu-
sations brought against him was that he
had gone down on his knees to some of
the girls 1t looked bad for the parson
till an aged brother brought the other
presbyters all up in heap by asking
those among them who had never in
their lives been ON their knees to girl
to rise. Not a minister left his seat.
They looked at one another sheepishly
for minute or so and then burst into
laughter, 80 much for that being
anything against man." quoth the aged
brother This coming from New Jer-
sey, is very shocking.

Alphonso Chaqutte of Ferrisburg
was sentenced Tuesday at Middle
bury to imprisonment for life at hard
labor in the Windsor state prison by
Judge Taft of the Supreme court.
Chaqutte was convicted in the Coun-
ty court last August of the murder
of Frederick Collette of Ferrisburg
on the night of August 81, 1890,
but sentence was suspended pending
the hearing on an appeal to the Su-
preme court, which met here this
morning. The appeal was not enter
ed up and sentence was pronounced.

We have received a copy of the
Watagan Valley News, sheet whose
sole excuse for existance is to adver-
tise Tennessee Cooperative town
company, of which Robert P. Porter,
superintendent of the cencus, is pres

ter of this sheet it is admitted to the
mails as second class matter, while
Printers Ink, publication of great
value to printers, is refused that priv
ilege. And this under the admins

Well, there is nothing like having a

Catching Men.

Lady journalists, the most emanci-
pated of them, do not appear to write
quite like men, 1t is not likely they
will do so, at least not in our time. 1t
is not desirable they should, the lady
journalists will answer, which may be
quite true. Still, by way of a general
observation, one may remark that news
paper men do not as a rule give two
thirds of their space to the subject of
getting wives, They are ungallant
enough, probably to consider that the
topic is not worth SO much space, and
that wives can be got in plenty without
going into the newspapers about them.
With women it seems to be different.
The lady writer asks for the industrial
emancipation of women. She demands
equal wages; she talks at times as if
women were already on the high road to
self support, and yet everlastingly she
comes back to the same topic of how
best can woman catch a husband. If
husband hunting is the end all and the
be all Of woman's existence still, as it
was in the days before the sex was
emancipated what was the use of eman-
cipation at all? Girls understood very
well how to go cunning for men even in
the old days of bondage. A noted
woman writer, whom one would expect
to be advising her sex how to improve
their health, intellects, or at the very
least how to get on in breadwinning
occupations, gave whole newspaper
column recently to telling girls what
kind of young ladies We're the most apt
to get husbands. This may be the proper
thing of course. 1t shows, however,
that it is hard for women to divest them
selves of the sex idea even in their bread
winning employments, much harder
than for men.

Mr. Tolman, of Brooklyn, announces
to the world that he can extract alumni
mum from clay at cost of five cents a
pound by new process he has invented.
When he does so then aluminium will
become the most valuable adjunct in the
domestic line that the world has OBJ
tanned. A metal that can be used in
stead of iron, steel, brass, copper, nickel
or zinc in the finishing or furnishing of
house, and yet will not tarnish or cor
rode or melt easily and forms no poison.
Gus compounds like brass or copper, will
indeed be blessing. Nozzles and door
knobs made from it will never need
securing.

SUMMER HOMES IN VERMONT.

The efforts made last year by the
management of the Central Vermont
Railroad Company to place before
the dwelers in the cities the attrac-
tions of Vermont country homes as
Summer resorts, resulted in bringing
into the State many thousand visitors
who had never before beheld the seen
ic beauty and charming landscapes,
which lie within each valley and On
every hillside in the Green Mountain
Stale. The amount of money left
with our farmers and boarding house
keepers by these city people aggre-
gated thousands of dollars. A com
Dlete canvass of those who visited the
towns along the line of the Central
Vermont r. X. was made at the close
of the season, and the result exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of
the management. These reports are
on file in the office of the General
Passenger Agent, and they form
very interesting reading. They show
that hundreds of people were attract
ed to Vermont through the medium
of Summer Homes among the Green
Hills of Vermont" issued by the
Passenger Department of the Central
Vermont r. Il. The responses made
to the circular letter of enquiry re-
garding Summer boarders, express
the satisfaction 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 railroads, during the
season, from city visitors.
In short it was clearly demonstra
ted that Vel mont's chances of securing
her share of the large sums Of money
now flowing into other States, arr
| limited onl Y by the amount of none,
available for spending in advertising
the superior attractions of the Greer
Mountain State.
The edition of "Summer Homes
for 1892 is now being thoroughly re
vised. and those desirous of havin.
their names appear in the forthcom
ing number should make application
at once to 5. W. Cummings, Genera
Passenger Agent, Central Vernon
r. R., St Albans, VT. The new
edition will consist Of 10, 900 copies
and the work will give fuller des
cription Of the towns and villages
than the one issued last year
will be an attractive and valuabl,
publication. The attention of cit,
people is being turned more than eve
before to Vermont and Lake Cham
plain as summer resorts, and tn,
coming year requires an increased eff
fort in this direction TO offset tn,
competition Of other States that hav,
held a monopoly of this business.

The Boston News brings this sto-
ry from Colorado:
A chicken fancier was troubled ex-
ceedingly by the propensity of his
brood to scratch up his garden, so he
set to work to solve the problem OF
prevention. After elaborate expert
ments he succeeded in crossing a
breed of long-legged brahmas with
short-legged bantams in such way
that the chickens had one long leg
and one short one. When they at
tempted to scratch they lost their bal
ance and fell over, which, after few
trials, was sufficient to show that
scratching was impossible, and they
gave it up.

An automatic device has been ar
ranged by which the engineer of rail
way train can tell exactly whether it is
safe for him to proceed beyond given
station. As train reaches the station,
the hour and minute hands flash across
a clock face to tell the right time. AT
the same moment red bullseye flashes
into the clock face. 1t remains there
five minutes. then disappears, to be fol-
lowed by a green bullseye. The green
light remains five minutes, then it also
fades out. If no light at all is visible
when the following train arrives, the
engineer will know the train immedi-
ately in front of him passed that station
at least ten minutes before.

La, says that at last the true secret
of the withdrawal of the Louisiana
state lottery from the public arena. Is
out. Half dozen friends of John
A. Morris, the principal owner and
director of the company, have been
aware of the coming change, but
the secret has been carefully guard
ed.
A stockholder of the company has
said that the Louisiana lottery will
be moved to Mexico in 1898. Presi-
den Diaz has already expressed him
self favorable to the project provid-
ing the lottery will make as favorable
proposition to the Mexican govern
ment as was made to the state of
Louisiana.
1t is understood that Morris favors
the City of Mexico as a location for
headquarters.

That Savage Horse.

EulGOf tribune:
Your information in reference to Mr..
Sayage's horse seems to be erroneous. The
circumstances are as follows: The horse
referred to belongs to Mr.. SaVage's mother
and has never been used as a street car
horse. Miss Alice Savage had driven the
horse in buggy over to our house on the
,Westside to spend the night with us. The
horse, during the night, got loose and
quietly started for home, as all well treated
horses will do. The horse was stopped
and taken up at Mr.. Littlejohn's stable
when crossing the bridge.
In the morning, finding the horse gone,
| sent man to Mr.. Savage's after him,
but he had not returned home. The man
next went to the city pound master, but
he knew nothing Of him. He spent all day
hunting for the horse but could get no
clue as to his whereabouts. The second
day the advertisement appeared in the
paper. I wish to ask if the proper place
for stray animals is not in the charge OF
the city pound master.

CAPITOL CHANGES.
FIXING UP THE OLD STRUCTURE
FOR THE COMING SESSION.

A Complete Change In the senate
Chamber and in the Interior of the
BuIldtngs.-.New strong Cedar
Posts for the Foundation.
Secretary Weir is fixing up the state cap
itol in good shape so that it will present
an entirely different appearance in the
interior on the upper, or senate chamber
floor at least, when the legislature meets
next January. The last Legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for repairs on the building
and close inspection has shown that they
were badly needed. A new roof has al
ready been placed on the old portion of the
building. In examining the foundations
of the structure it was found that many Of
the rafters were resting ON the extreme
edge of soft brick columns and in danger
of collapsing. New strong cedar posts are
being put in. In the senate chamber the
sergeant-at-arms' room and the smoking
room on the south are to be torn away.
which which will enlarge the chamber and
make more room for senators as well as
spectators. The room on the north, at the
head of the stairs, will be fitted up for the
sergeant-at-arms room with adoor opening
into the senate chamber. New rooms for
the secretary and his force of enrolling, en-
crossing and journal clerks will be erected
in that portion of the building on the
south, which was formerly used as the
library. A stairway will also be placed in
this part of the building leading to the
hall Of the representatives. Improvements
will also be made in the lower part of the
building in order to make the old structure
comfortable, as it will undoubtedly have to
be used for five or six years longer.
