clever and pretty puzzle with which to
entertain your friends is called the 1892 trick
Take nine glasses and put them in straight
row. They must be distinguished by mum
bers, and the best way to manage this is by
means of numbered slips of paper stuck in
the glasses. The trick now is to produce
the celebrated year 1892, in which the il
lustrious mariner Columbus struck the hos
pitable shores of San Salvador
Your glasses must run one to nine con-
secutively, from left to right You must in
three moves of two glasses, and two only at
one time, ne"er leaving an unoccupied
space larger than may be filled by one glass,
make tho date 1899 at the left hand end of
the row and have the glasses in a continu-
GUS line and touching one another, OF at
least not far from touching when the task
is done
The key to the trick is the moving of the
two end figures first. You move No a
space TO the left and at the same time move
o into the place left. You now move an
other space to the left while you are NOV
ing to the space just vacated by |. You

tnan Wlling to rest from ,ne most weary
ing exhibition | ever attended, | must
call the attention of Vermont dairymen
to the statement going about the country
regarding our place in the dairy exhibit.
Some of our sister States have credited
us with a position We did not earn and
do not care to claim.
The exhibition was conducted on the
plan of "no competition between the
States" and with our extreme modesty
Vermont has been silent until now.
Some of our own State papers have print
ed the statement that vermont stood
third in the October exhibit" etc. Now
this may, or may not, be true, on gen
eral average" basis, which is not fair
showing of our States standing. Must
of Nermont's samples were dairy goods,
and States showing mostly dreamer V but
ter cannot compare on general aver
age basis. In the absence of an
making comparisons, even if such COM
PARSONS were not "odiOus," but as Il
Nermonter and one deeply interested in
her welfare and especially In the line of
dairying, | beg to say Vermont has led
the world IN the score Of her butter. in
the last three exhibits, and am of the
opinion that the June exhibit gave YER
mont larger per cent Of perfect butter
than any other State or country. If am
correct. our creamery average in Septem-
Der was but small decimal below 81,
While we scored in the dairy. on tub and
prints, above the highest given to any
other section. Having given my best
efforts to the State during the Is months
since my appointment as superintendent
of our dairy products, l very naturally
desire to claim what is ours. and want
nothing more than was given us. New
York, one Of the best as well as largest
dairy States, on a general average
would be treated with great injustice.
When the official score is complete it
will be my pleasure to furnish the State
press with complete copies. and | will
try to show that Vermont has taken no
"third' position. by the official figures.
| beg to say, in closing, that | had faith
in Vermont, and while some of the States
and countries we were exhibiting with
gave great deal of attention to
the selection of their exhibits from the
very best scOurces, | sent circulars to
every section of this State soliciting
exhibits, and took every sample sent,
and placed it in the exhibit, so simply
showing what Vermont was doing in that
line Trusting this may explain the
position Vermont holds, which believe
to be correct, and hoping my brother
dairymen may approve of my work in
the interest of the leading industry of
our State, am,

thraldom to go west and pre-empt land
claim in Dakota. Returning from that
adventurous life about eight years ago,
she settled down in Milwaukee as a teach
er of whist and recently went to Chicago
on invitation TO organize and instruct
whist classes there.
Time has not weakened her devotion to
the game, nor is she yet convinced that
she has learned all there is to know about
1t, as she showed by her answer to the
question, Have you mastered the gameY''
