WESTMINSTER WEST.
Mrs. Aaron uoIbrook Of Townsher

Mrs. Aaron Uolbrook of Townshend.
Mrs. Aaron Holbrook, who died recently
in Townshend at an advanced age, was a
native of this place. Her maiden name
was Philena Perry. She was born in 1901
in what was formerly school district No. 3.
The Perry house stood few rods north of
the Newell Moore house on the opposite
side of the highway. 1t was deserted and
disappeared many years ago. The neigh
borhood was once thicl1ly settled furnish
ing scholars enough for a large school. No
school has been supported there now for
many years; the schOolhouse is gone, to-
gether with more than half the dwelling
houses in the district, and the very few
children remaining have had their school
ing, if any, elsewhere. The whole range
of farms along the east side of Windmill
hill, and so on north, has been mostly
turned into pasturage and the numerous
dwellings along the hillside have vanished
Philena Perry was employed for several
years, while a girl, in the family of Dea.
Ebenezer Goodhue, where she was highly
esteemed. She is well remembered by the
only survivor of the family Hon. Homer
Goodhue. She was one OF the large num-
Der, nearly one hundred persons, converted

of her death.

They are trying what they call Good
Will farm in Maine, with a considerable
degree of success. Bad boys are sent to 1t
instead of to reform schools. On the farm
they are separated, as far as possible, into
groups, in a number of cottages that have
been erected, The idea is that in this way
the boys may be subject to the beneficial
influences of home life. The household
work in each of these families is divided
up among the boys, who also work on the
farm or in shops. The same thing is to be
tried in Massachusetts also. A farm has
been bought in Danvers, on which it is
proposed to care for 500 homeless and des-
titute children. Its distinctive feature, the
cottage system, might well be tried on a
larger scale in other states, in place of the
great institutions in which so many boys
and girls are huddled together.

The Great wall of China.

The scenery from the Great Wall is very
fine. The wall is here dividing line be-
tween the high, rugged hills of China, which
tower above us on the one hand, and the
great stmdy plains of Mongolia on the other,
with dim mountain-summits beyond in the
far distance. Over these barren, rocky
spurs and activities, ascending to their
very SUBMITS, winding about in irregular
curves and zgzags, its serried battlements
clear-cut against the sky on the topmost
ridges, descending into dark gullies to APP
pear again rising on the other side, the
endless line of massive stone and brick
runs on and on until lost to sight behind
the farthest range. And so it goes for
miles and miles, eastward to the Pechili
gulf, and westward, mostly in two great,
rambling lines, along the border OF the
Cobb desert and Kansu, until it ends among
the foothills of the Nan Shan range. How
ever we may regard II, whether as a grand
conception for the defense of an empire, as
an engineering feat, or merely as a result
of the persistent application Of human labor,
ii is stupendous work. No achievement
of the present time compares with it in
magnitude.
But it has outlved its usefulness. The
powerful Tatar and Mongol hOrdes, whose
sudden raids anu lnVaSlOns II was quilt to
resist, are no more to be feared The great
Genghis and Kublai could not lead their
people to CORY conquest now as they did
centuries ago. The Chinese civilization
has endured, while the once conquering
Mongols, the people who in their brightest
days established an empire from the Black
sea to the China coast, and court at Pc
king of such luxury and splendor as Marco
Polo described, are now doomed to pass
away, leaving nothing behind them but the
traditions, and records, and ruins of bril-
liant past The wall stands as a sharp line
Z of division between the tribes of the North
and the Chinese. The latter, though re-
peatedly subdued, and forced 10 bear for
eign yoke, have shown ali irrepressible vi
tality to rise like a phoenix, and to reassert
their supremacy and the superiority of their
civilization.-The Century TOR January.

Not so Good as a vermont savings Bank.

Putting not his faith in banks, George
Gibbons of $40 South Seventh street, in
August, 1891, encoffined $3.50 in bills in a
tin box in his cellar. A week ago, to with
draw his deposit, he dug up the tin recep-
tacle. A heavy coating of rust had gath
cred upon it, and he congratulated himself
that no one had got at his wealth. But
into the tin box had crept mildew. The
fine crisp greenbacks had been converted
into mass of rotten and rusty paper. Mr.
Gibbons bore the relics to the sub-treasury,
where, through the utmost ingenuity, S240
was picked out and identified by the Off
cials. The rest has been sent to Washing.
ton with an affidavit subscribed to before
Magistrate Eisenbrown in the forlorn hope
that the treasury will not refuse to father
