OAice---the RObber Secured 5000.
Station Agent Thomas of the Central
Vermont railroad company was robbed of
5000 to 500 in his office at Richford Fri

there was any freight for him. When Mr..
Thomas looked on his book the stranger
struck him on the head. Thomas did not
regain consciousness for half an hour. He
staggered to house near by and gave the

find the robber He was of medium height

however. So eager were the Plais-

of the heather Americans that they
took no means of verifying the
money showed at them, and the con-
sequence was that they gobbled up
thousands Of dollars of confederate
money. Bills on state banks that
went out of existence thirty-fve
years ago, leaden dollars, halves and

RHEUMA TISM VS.. GOVT.

In the town of c. there lived
DR.. W, man noted in his imme,

as a physician, but tor his native
wit, An old lady afflicted with
Sciatic rheumatism, which had be-
come chronic and beyond the hope
Of relief, relates with much gusto,
that after several visits from DR..
W of the consolation kind, IN
which he had evaded, by carefully
leading the conversation into other
channels, committing himself as to
the outcome of her malady, deter
mined that next time he should say
something definite and with the toll
lowing result:
Mrs. H: "Now, doctor, |
want you to tell me if you can cure
my rheumatism
DR.. W, judging from her tone
that evasion this time was out OF
the question, thus replied:
Madam, how do | know whether
you have rheumatism or govt r? 49,.
We'll, doctor, what is the dit
terence between them 2"
DR.. W, with a comical twinkle
and a solemn countenance: MADAM

sin; govt is actual transgression,'

diagnosis Boston Journal.

MILK THE COW DRY.

rho COW should, if possible, be al
,,avs MIXED bv the same person,
D"ad MIXED out dry before rising
a crom the stool. Give every COW a
.orLf,l of clover or green oats. She
~. .bnnld be in her own stall and hal
s ,ared While she is eating she should
Ie quickly MIXED, first washing off
~ he udder and wiping dry with
~, clean cloth. 1t takes but five to
o;eht minutes to milk cow properly,
re oed with a good mixer, the cow
,yill let her milk down at once. The
Glowing article, taken from the
british Dairy Farmer, is to the point
give cows were MIXED four
weeks by two different persons, each
mixer serving two weeks, both be-
no competent, one doing his average
mixing and not aware that an ex-
nrriment was under way, the other
iIly informed as to the nature of the
sxnerient and expected to contribute
ais best skill for the purpose in view.
IN the case of the one unaware OF the
cxoeriment the yield of milk for the
Ave cows for two weeks was S64
hounds. The yield of milk from the
,ame COWS for corresponding per-
;od, while in charge of the man
aware of the experiment, reached
100 pounds. The excess is 267
bounds in favor of the man who
MIXED to dryness."
The experiment proved that it
pays to get all the cow has to de-
liver; so that it is matter of i'm
oortance that the udder be emptied
as rapidly as possible in a manner
acceptable to the cow-this because
of the effect OF the richness of the
milk in fat globules. Another i'm
portant feature in milking to drynes'
Is that first milk is most aqueous
while the latter contains the mos
butter fat. While not strictly re
suit of this experiment, it demon
strates anew the teaching OF the ex
perience that proves thatincomplete
Il MIXED COWS have a tendency t.
diminish their yield Baltlmor

While the senate has been talking
about silver and scores suffering in the
cities for want of work, Vermont farm
ers have been harvesting ,the best crops
in years and selling them at good
prices. The average Vermont farmer
with home of his own and few hun
dred dollars against rainy day, is little
troubled by those financial storms that
come periodically, and often mean suffer
ing to people in the large cities. On the
farm he has builded better than he knew.
His crops grow while he sleeps, his chill
dren are sent to school or college and wear
good clothes, he and his wife are men,

THE DERT STATEMENT.

Condition of Government Finances at the
Close of the First Half OF the Fiscal Year.
The Treasury Department December pablo
debt statement, issned Yesterday. shows fairly
gratifying results in the fiscal operations Of the
government during the last month. well as
during the last six months or the first half OF
the current fiscal year, which ended December
81. During December the aggregate of the
debt was increased about one-half a million,
but the treasury surplus was lowered million
and q quarter and now Aggregates but S29. 092, :
5SS fully five and half millions less thaa it
was on January 1. 1892. The debt on January
/. less the surplus cash in the treasury and the
one hundred million gold greenback reserve.
aggregated ssS5. 1872, l65. Compared with the
statement put out year ago the statement
made yesterday shows a decrease in the debt
during the year just closed of about six
millions.
The treasury gold balance fell off about three
and half millions during December and on
January l amounted to si2l,o00,0 0e. or
SlO. 900 900 less than IL was January 1. 1892
Government receipts during December were
unusually heavy. amounting to thirty-three and
q quarter millions, and for the last six months
or the FIRST half of the current fiscal year
reached Sl95. S59, $50, fully twenty millions
more than during the cor res bonding months OF
1891 Fifteen millions of this increased revenue
came from customs receipts which for the last
six months amounted to 500. $40, 227. Internal
revenue receipts for the last months were
Ssi, 6l3, 697, or seven millions and half more
than from July TO December 81. 1891. On the
other hand, increased expenditures have kept
pace with increased revenue during the
first half of the current fiscal year.
During this period ekpehditures aggregated
Sl95, $50, l64 or Sl9 600 o,nore than from July
l 10 December 81, 1891 Increased pension
payments alone account for this great increase
in expenditures, the pension charge for the
last six months amounted TO CSC, AS COS, against

of 1891. This points TO pension charge dur
