the creamery are highly pleased with
the showing for the nast year. The
creamery strives to make the very best
goods possible. Great pains are taken
by the manufacturers TO have all the
cream from the patrons Of high order.
Patrons of creameries must understand
that in order to get the most money for
their cream, that they have something
to do, and that is to keep mic, cows, feed
them well keep everything neat aud
clean about milking and setting their
cream then the butter will sell higher
and their returns will be more. Az the
Woild's fair, in competition with most
all of the creamt ries of Vermont, only
one in the same class scored more points
q poinD than the Valley for June.
They only sent goods that month aud
were well satisfied with the result. The
management think that II, M. Arms is
deserving of great deal of credit for the
able manner in which he looked after
the interests of Vermont dairymen at
the Worlds fair.

The Intrinsic Cash Value of q Man.
From Scribner's Magazine.

We have it on the authority of Thack-
cray that you have to wait until FORTY
years before you know the worth of a
lass. The knowledge would not then
appear to have much value and it is for
tunate that science now presents an ex-
act means OF determining the worth of a
lad at any age. The last census officials.
or some other infallible authority, have
had his constituent ingredients weighed,
appraised. and filed away as perma-
nent standard of value in the archives of
the National Museum at Washington
much as the Smithsonian Institution or
other grave authority preserves The STAN
dard yardstick or the standard quart. 1t
is somewhat Of relief thus to find the
value of an everyday 154-pound young
man placed by the government as high IS
$1S 300. We had not deemed they took
SO exalted view of human nature at
Washington. But they give US chapter
and verse for the same or, rather, weight
and measure for they have the body of
such man neatly decomposed and put
up in jars or in bottles on the shelf.

The great bishop, Phillips Brooks, was
stricken down in the prime of his man

He is pastor of four churches. Is it
any wonder that he broke down in

The reverend gentleman gives a very
interesting account of himself and his
troubles:
"For ten years." he said, II have been
nervous and growing worse all these
years. During the last four OF five
years | became so nervous l could

81 was unable to hold my head steady
in the pulpit, nor could hold or handle
my books and papers without embarass
ment, owing to the trembling and weak
ness of my hands and arms. 1 was sc
nervous that could scarcely feed my

by physicians, but found no permanen
relief.

medical men is almost double that of
clergymen, and the rate is increasing.
