1t is very probable that some
comma-shaped microbes may be found in
the United States this year. The comma
shaped fellows mean cholera. The
surest preventive of cholera is clean
illness. House cleaning this year should
be most thoroughly done, and we sug-
gest to the good housewife that a coat
of Chiffon Paint for inside work will not
only beautify the home, but will kill any
stray comma-shaped microbe that by any
misfortune may find its way into the
house. We suppose that almost any
kind of paint would kill cholera microbes
and perhaps if that were the only object
in painting, some of the cheap paints
that contain benzine in such liberal
quantities would be as good, but we think
that while you are using paint as pre-
ventive of cholera it is well to use the
Chiffon, not because it will kill more
microbes than any other paint, but be-
cause it will last longer, keep brighter,
and look better than any paint you use.
Get pound can and see for yourself.

FARM PROPRIETORsHIP.

There are 32,573 farm families in Yer
mont, which are 1898 per cent of the
total number of families. OF these
26,s35, or S2.3S per cent own, and 1913,
or 1852 per cent, hire the farms cultivat-
ed by them, while of the owning families
brance on their farms and 1895, or
55.65 per cent, have no incumbrance.
The average 100 farm families are com
posed of 1852 that hire, 1903 that own
with incumbrance, and 1885 that own
without incumbrance.
! In 1880, l3.4l per cent of the farms
WoCe hired, so that there is an apparent
rtttive increase of farm tenancy during
tie decade; but the sources of statistics
for 1850 and 1890 are not the same, since
the figures for 1880 represent farms and
those for 1890 farm families and this may
somewhat affect the comparison.

VERMONT HOMES.
INTERESTING FACTS IN REGARD TO OWN
ERSHlP.


The census bureau has Just issued
bulletin on Vermont farms, homes and
mortgages and debt, etc. In
regard to farms, the conclusion is that
17.G2 per cent of the farm families hire
and 81 80 per cent own the farms cuti-
waited by them; that Abs per cent of
the farm-owning families own subject
to incumbrance and 55.65 per cent own
free of incumbrance. Among 100 farm
families, Is hire their farms, SO own
with incumbrance. On the owned farms
of this State there are liens amounting to
$ll ,9j2, 400, which is 4l.76 per cent of
their value, and this debt bears interest
at the average rate of 5.SS per cent,
making the average annual interest
charge $50 to each family. Each owned
and incumbered farm, on the average, is
worth $2405, and is subject to debt of
S1004.
The corresponding facts for homes are
that 5439 per cent of the home families
hire and 1851 per cent own their homes !;
that of the homecoming families 63.l1
per cent own free of incumbrance and
$3.50 per cent with incumbrance. In 100
home families, on the average, 81 hire
their homes, II own with incumbrance
and 30 without incumbrance. The debt
on owned homes aggregates $3.50, l7O,
or 81. 20 per cent of their value. and bears
interest at the average rate of 5.04 per
cent, so that the annual amount of inter-
est to each home averages So. An av-
erage debt of $745 incumbers each home,
which has the average value of S2026.
There Is one city and one town in the
State in the class of those having pop
pulation of 5000 to 100000 burlington,
1850; Rutland, 1l,760), and in these
two places $500 per cent of the home
families hire and 4l.95 per cent own their
homes, and of the homecoming families
46.lS per cent own with incumbrance
and 1892 per cent own free of encum-
brance. In 100 home families. on the av-
erage, are found 50 that hire their
homes, 10 that own with incumGrance
and % that own without incumbrance.
The liens on the owned homes are 1928
per cent of the value of those subject to
lien. Several averages show that the
rate of interest is 5.94 per cent; value of
each owned and encountered home,
S3252; lien on the same, $l262, and year
ly interest charge on each home, 500.
Real estate purchase and improve
ments, when not associated with other
objects, caused S267 per cent of the
farm families to incur S3.7l per cent Of
the farm debt and Sl.5l per cent of the
home families to incur Sl.79 per cent OF
| the home debt.

The Way to msA sha ma

Pillow shams from the DAYS of their
first Inauguration, have been consid-
cred by plain folks a nuisance and the
new device of having a kind of ma
chinery attached to the head of the
ped to work the sham, proves an ag-
gravation as we'll. At least such was
the case with two guests at the late
State Sunday School Convention. They
were ladies who knew all about keep
ing room nice and sweet, but could
not get hold of the management of this
device. and after an hours effort, and
almost in tears, they finally called to
their hostess to get them out of their
difficulty, which was soon done.
A gentleman who had no idea of
making his bed on the floor, in sheer
despair of getting the shams fixed,
though his were only pinned on and
not arranged by machinery, got over
the difficulty readily. He simply
lifted the covering at the foot of the
bed and taking the pillows that were
intended to occupy the head after
unpinning and removing the shams,
he was soon snooZing away, his feet
resting peacefully under the ornamen-
tai shams.
In answer to the usual question in the
morning as to how he had rested, he
said, splendidly, that he had not had
SO good a night of sleep for a long
time; pointer, by the way, to turn
shams to good account with those
who are troubled with insomnia. If
the gentleman had been from some out
OF the way rural place and not up to
the new tricks of housewives, it mis- ght
not have been surprise, but the joke
in the thing is that it was by a
resident of a city north of the canal.

The Revival.

The revival which commenced with
the evangelistic work of Rev. w. K.
Galloway, as stated in our last issue.
still continues. The congregations
have been large, filling the auditorium
every night, with an unusual serious.
ness and attentiVen9ss manifeted bv
the people, and an entire absence of
that levity and Indifferent demeanor
on the part of those who usually oc.
cupy the rear part of such meetings.
There has been no repetition of the
wonderful outpOuring of the Spirit at
the noon hour of Sunday week, such is
rarely seen in a lifetime. but everv
meeting has been attended by con-
versions.
Religion had been running at low
ebb for several years, and while it is a
great matter for rejoicing to see many
new additions to the fold, not the least
benefit to the church has been the re-
animation and reclamation of MANY
members who had little to claim but
the fact that their names were on the
church record. This revIving was
felt from the pulpit on down through
the pews to the doors. The attendance
last night was the largest of any week
night service yet, the auditorium
packed, and many having to 90 to the
gallaries. The altar was we'll filed
last night with penitents, adults, in.
cluding some of our young men, class
that the church very much needs.
Rev. Mr.. Galloway, who has won the
hearts of the people, cannot leave
while such interest is manifest. He
was assisted last evening by Revs.
Wilson, Smith, Stephenson, and Como
way. 1t is expected that the new pas
tor vii be present next sunday.

Narrow Escape from Fire.

James w. Anthony, near town. came
very near having serious FIRE on
Sunday morning. The family had
just seated themselves at the breakfast
table when they heard something drop
overhead.
Thinking perhaps a pet cat had
gotten into the room and knocked
some bric-a-brac from the mantel. Mr.
Anthony sent his son Will up to see
what was the mischief. The son was
not long in returning: opening the
stair door he hasitated moment. as if
to be cool and show that he had not
lost his head, he said to his father

roaring blaze, the fire having crept
through the stOvepipe hole, ignitipg to
the paper, had run up it until a cord
that suspended a picture had been
burnt into and let the latter drop. a
fortunate circumstance that was the
means of saving the house. A bucket
or two OF water extinguished the incip-
tent hames here, when attention was
gwen to the top of the house. With
the aid of ladders Mr.. Anthony and
his men had soon reached the roof and
a few buckets of water poured down

A feature of this conference is the re.
markable progress Of the church dur.
Ing the past year, as shown by the re-.

past year has been one Of almost un.

and spiritual matters. Scarcely a
charge within the bounds of the con-
Terence failed to report accessions to its
membership, increased collections and
welcome revival Of thorough reliR-
ious sentiment. In addition, the inan-
clal statistics showed the expenditure
OF liberal amounts for the erection of
new buildings aud the Improvement Of
OLD oaes, while many also reported a
substantial increase in the salaries Of
their pastors. Some of the country
charges, in particular, have advanced
salaries to figure more in accordance
with what is due a competent and
faithful preacher. aud Others have set
the figures up to the limit Of q really
handsome compensation all circum-
stances considered. And the almost
uniform report of church finances in
cluded the cheering announcement,

Mr.. Cleveland has put in force of Civ
ing to the public the names of appIi-
eants for appointment with the names
of the endOrsers in the more important
cases. One consequence, noted by the
Washington correspondents, is that
the hotel population of Washington
has been diminished, a considerable
number Of bashful persons not being
nee the new light that now
beats upon an Office hunter. Another
Is that Senators are considerably re-

A Washington correspondent has the
following paragraph in a letter to an
eastern paper:
"a man who honOrs his mother is a
man who can always be trusted" used
to be a maxim of one of the best men
i ever knew, and it was called to my
mind by the fact that the two men
President Cleveland and his private
secretary, Mr.. Thurber-who will, di.
vine Providence sparing their lives,
have the most to do with the executive
business of this great nation for the
next four years, both took the oath of
Office upon Bibles which each of them
cherishes as his most precious possession n
because it was once the property of his
mother. Mr.. Cleveland's bible has
been twice used for the swearing in"
OF President of the United States.
The example of these two officials
ought to be brought to the attention of
every young man in the land.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Ocean Grove Record has the follow
ing in reference to the makeup of the
Cabinet:
The last administration was often
jOkingly referred to as Presbyterian
administration, but that denomination
was not then so strongly represented
as it is in the present one. With one
exception every member of President
Cleveland's cabinet is a Presbyterian.
The exception is Secretary Carlisle,
who is not church member, but who
is, like Mr.. Cleveland, rather inclined
to the Presbyterian church. Surely it
is matter for congrat ulatiOn that so
many of the men who will direct the
government for four years to come are
God fearing church members.
