sophomore Foot Ball Team Defeated by
the Goddard seminary Eleven at Barre.

the Goddard seminary ELEVEN AT barre.
The Sophomore team played the Goddard
Seminary team Monday at Barre, and were
defeated by score of 81 to e. The team
played well but the referee proved TO
be their strongest antagonist, The
boys feel that if the referee had played ms
fairly as the opposing team did, their score
would have been larger.

A CLEVER THIEF.


From a letter received 10y Chief Dumas
from Mrs. +. j. parmalcc of Enosburch
Falls, il appears that Burlington is not the
only place where George Richardson
operated successfully Mr., Parmalce
states that he was in that vicinity
last July as book agent The Rich
ar,!son family came here fron St. Mbans
and are close friends of the Parmalces
While in EnoSburgh Richardson boarded at
Mrs Parmalce's and during the week end
ing July Both the family took their vaca

also mentions that another house was ell
tered while Richardson was there. When
shown the letter in his cell Wednesday after
noon the young man acknowledged robbing
Mrs. Parmalces house. He buried part of
the silvcrware near the shore of the lake at
81. Adams bay and the rest he threw into
the lake. During his career as a book

CUSTOMS OFFICER vs.. PORTER.

A Coiorcd "Gcntleman" Cannot be Pun
ished for Pounding n Deputy Collector.
When asked what he intended doing re
Garding tho beating which Deputy Collector
Beatty located nj Richfold. received at the
hands of porter on Il through train ON the
Canadian Pacific railroad Friday last while
acting in his official capacity, Collector
Smalay said Tuesday he could do nothing
He further stated that the assault was com
mitted in Canada and consequently tho
porter could not bc arrested on that charge
by the United States authorities if found
in the States. The only charge he knew
o. upon which the colored gentleman
could be detained here was that of snug
Cling and there was no evidence to sub
stantiate this allegation, although he
himself had no doubt but what
the porter was guilty of it. Mr..
Smalicy said that the officer was ptlrsu-
ing his duty exactly as required and As has
always been and is expected to be done.
Mr.. Beatty's mistake was in not waiting un-
til the train reached Richford, where he
could have held it until all the passengers
and employees aboard it would have allowed
him to examine their baggage.
While the porter may not he punished for
the assault, he will probably be discharged
by the company, as it il i'll the interest OF
the railroad companies that the govern
mcnt 5 officers examine baggage in transit
so as not to interrupt the operation OF the
traius Mr.. Beatty was lately appointed
and his ineXperiencc, perhaps, precipitated
the assault. He was given Il thorough
trouncing. When the train arrived at Rich
ford he expected to put the porter under ar
rest. but the latter could not be found, not
being aboard

The Romans and saxons Were Far
Apart In Their Nomenclature.

The Romans and Saxons Were Far
Apart In Their Nomenclature.
The first day of the week was Dies
Soils with the Romans Sunnandae
with the Saxons; Monday was Monan-
daeg with the Saxons; Dies Lunae
with the Romans. The Teue-daeg of
old Saxon times-Tuesday OF to-day
was Dies Martis, the day Of Mars,
the war god, according to the Roman
mode OF reckoning and rules of nomen-
clature. The fourth day of the week
was the Woden's daeg of the Saxons
In plane English it was Odin, the
warlike god Of most OF the Northern
races and the nearest in character to
the Roman war god Mars. With the
Romans it was Dies Murcuaii, Mer-
cury's day. The fifth day of the
week, the Thor's daeg OF the Scandi-
navian nations. was also known by
name which signified Thunderer's
day among the Romans, it belonged
to their Dies Jovis. Jove and Thor
were both thunder gods Friday,
which the Romans dedicated to Ven
us, and called Dies Neneris, received
the name it now bears on account of
1T being the old day set apart upon
which to worship Friga, a mythology
cal character which corresponds
almost exactly with the Roman Ven
us. The SaXons called Friday Frigen-
daeg. The last day of the week took
the name it now bears from the
Roman Dies Saturni and itS Soxno
appelative of Seatcr-dacg from myth
illogical deities which very closely
approach each other in character.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; cffectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and tcvcrs
and permanently curing constipation.
II has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

A WONDERFUL VOLUME.
a Bible COPIED by Monk Centuries,
Ago and Now in Washington.

~
Ago and Now in Washington.
The most beautiful volume among
the half-million in the congressional
library at Washington is Bible
which was transcribed by monk in
the sixteenth century. 1t could not
be matched to-day in the best print
ing Office in the world. The parch-
ment is in perfect preservation
Every one of its thousand pages is a
study. The general lettering is in
German text, each letter perfect, as
is every one, in cold black ink, with.
out scratch or blot from lid to lid
At the beginning OF each chapter the
first letter is very large, usually two
or three inches long, and is brightly
illuminated in red and blue ink.
Within each OF these capitals is
drawn the figure of some saint, some
incident OF which the chapter tells,
is illustrated. There are two columns
on a page, and nowhere is traccable
the slightest irregularity Of line,
space or formation of the letters.
Even under magnifying glass they
seem flawless. This precious volume
is kept under glass case, which is
sometimes lifted to show that all tn e
pages are as perfect As the two which
lie open. A legend relates that a
young man who had sinned deeply
became a monk and resolved TO dc
penance for his misdeeds. He dc,
termined to copy the Bible, that he
might learn every letter of the di-
vine commands which he had violated.
Every day for many years he pa
tiently pursued his task. Each let
ter was wrought in reverence and
love, and the patient soul found its only
companiOnship in the sanity faces
/ which were portrayed on these pages.
When the last touch was given to
the last letter, the old man reverent.
| ~ kissed the page and folded the
sheets together. The illustrated in
itiaIs in perfection of form and brill
liancy of color surpass anything pro,
duced in the present day With all
our boosted progress, nothing either
in Europe or America equals it.

TALKING ABOUT SPORT.

Talking about sport" observed

The curious thing about those rats
was that caught them in an old
cistern.h
..Did you set an old cistern out
somewhere so they could run into
it," inquired the man who had his
feet on the table.
1T doesn't make any difference
how the cistern got there. The
main fact is that caught those fif-
teen rats in it without any bait and
without making any special prepa-
ration whatever for catching rats. F"
"IIow did you do it?"
81 pumped the water out and
found them at the bottom"
"Did-you rescue them?" asked
the man in the SLOUGH hat, after a
painful silence.
"N-no," said the man in the
macintosh, refectively. "You could
hardly call it a rescue. was toe

THE ADVERTISING COLUMNS
There's Lots of News in Them for this
Well Posted Man.

MAN.
The advertising columns of news
paper are among the most Important;
for no man really becomes acquainted
even with the news Of the day until
he has thoroughly perused the adj
vcrtisements.-H arper's Monthly.
Perhaps some men may smile at
this statement. Women will not
They all read the advertisements,
and are both entertained and in
structed by the praiscworthy habit
Many men also examine the adver
Using columns patiently and regu-
larly, and in this way keep well in
formed of movements in business and
financial circles. To the practiced
eye short advertisement often al
fords wealth of suggestion: it is sig
nifCant--a straw showing the direc-
tion of the wind. If one concern is
frequently advertising for additional
help, and another seldom or ever does,
the reader easily infers which is the
more prosperous.
We contend, however, says the
Troy Press, that from news stand
point the advertising columns are
important, interesting, and instruc-
tive; they disclose the trend OF the
times with remarkable accuracy. The
trained reader of current advertise
ments can tell without reading any
thing else whether things are boom
ing or bursting; whether crops are
heavy or light, and whether com
munity is stagnant or energetic.
We defy anyone who is not an in
corrigible prevaricator to read the
advertisements daily, fully and regu-
larly for one week without indorsing
every affirmation herein submitted.
The experiment is worth making. 1t
will quicken tho dull mind to the in
comparable utility of advertising; it
will open up a wide, varied field Of
new information to person who is
not an habitual reader of advertise
ments.
Harper's Monthly is right. To be
thoroughly posted men and women
must read the advertisements. There
is no escape from this conclusion.
