Raises Her own Tea.

Mrs Increase Sumner, of Starke,
Bradford county, raises her own tea,
and has treated her guests to cups of
the homemade beverage, which was
pronounced delicious. She says that
owing to rapid growth she has to cut
off the bushes every three or four years,
while in China this is done only once in
seven years. She gathers three crops
year; the finest tea costs fifteen dollars
a pound, but will not stand sea voy-
age, and never gets farther than Russia,
but her bushes furnish it to her for the
picking. -

After They Got Loose Their Owner Had

the Car to Himself
81 was going to New York some time
ago. said a traveller to ST. Louis
Globe Democrat man. AT way sta
ton in Indiana little old man entered
the sleeper, carrying wooden box
bored full of small holes. The car was
crowded, and nearly everybody had
gone TO bed. The newcomer ordered his
berth made up, and retired to the smok-
ing-compartment car for a few whl1fs
on black brierwood pipe that was
strong enough to curl the hair on a
wooden Indian. When he started to re-
tire he picked up his perforated box.
The cover had come off, and the little
man stood staring at it with such look
of hopeless, helpless despair that ven
tured to ask him what was the matter.
sMatter? he shrieked in his thin
falsetto that went through the car like
the note of bagpipe, matter? had
six centipedes in that box which l was
taking home from Texas, and the last
mothers son of 'em has got eout?
ssWeu, sir, if you had exploded a
Mound of dynamite in that car you
would not have created greater con-
sternation. Men and women came
tunbling out of their berths in their
nightcaps and shortstop clothes. One
woman scratched herself on pin, de-
clared that centipede was in her
clothes and got rid of her scant habili-
ments in one time and two motions
A fat man, who was victim OF prickly
heat, imagined that he could feel cen

A London Man Had Planned a specula-
tion, But His Wife Spoiled It.
sYour worlds fair souvenir half dol
lar reminds me of a singular incident,
said Ralph G. Watson, of London, IN the
hearing of st. Louis Globe
Democrat reporter. During the
queens jubilee all England was
flooded with jubilee coins. The
largest denomination was five pound
sterling gold piece, and from that down
to a farthing. After the jubilee all
those special coins that found their way
back to the Bank of England were taken
out of circulation, and before 1T was
generally known that this was being
done ninety per cent. of the coins, l
fancy. had found their way into the
NAV of the old lady of Threadneedle
street.
81 was among the few who had sense
enough to keep set. had hve-
pound sterling piece. sovereign,
half-sovereign, a crown, four-shllllng
piece, half-crown, two-shllllng plt,
one shilling, a sixpence, a fourpence,
threepence, penny, half penny and
farthing They lay idle in a box in
my dressing-case for nearly four years.
1 thought nothing of them until one
day last summer, having business IN
Glasgow, l went there. Here the Jubi-
lee,coins were a great rarity, and l
found that my collection, which
amounted to seven pounds, five shil-
lings, six pence, ha' penny, farthing,
would bring something like twelve
pounds.
'sNow, thinks I, I'll just make that
five pounds like a wink, SO l tele-
graphed my wife to forward the box OF
coins to me by express at once. The
next day got letter from her inclos-
| ing postal note for seven pounds, six
shillings, an a note from the dear
woman saying that as long as was in
| need of the money she thought the let
ter post quicker than the package post,
and had had my coins exchanged for a
postal order, and added the change her
self to make it even money. Mad? was.
I not only lost my five pound specula-
ton, but lost my jubilee coins as well;
but say, it was rather thoughtful of
her, you know, and under any other
circumstances would have been very
gratifying"

SOLDIERS HOME MENAGERIE.

Dr. Day in the Troy Times, writes
pleasant article, which we copy:
One of the attractions at the Vermont
Soldiers Home at Bennington, is the
''menagerie" which has slowly been col
lected from many sources. The princl-
pal part of the show is in the roomy
cages along the margin of a wide, shady
walk that leads east from the Home.
Many of the animals are exceedingly
tame, and some delight in having olt
of sport with keeper or visitor. TWO
young coOns, fat as pigs and comical as
clowns, often play roughly with each
other, but always gently with visitors.
A couple of bright-eyed foxes, always
wary, retreat with jump to the dim re-
cesses of the upper section of their cage
whenever a stranger approaches. An
antlered deer, three prairie dogs and q
gray squirrel that spins his wheel With
bewildering speed, come in for due
amount of attention. A vicious wood
chuck, unconfined by cage, has dug a
hole in the lawn, but as he has been
struck so many times with canes and
stones he seldom makes his appearance
until about nightfalL He is the impla-
cable enemy of the troop OF rabbits
about the Home, and has wounded SO
many of them that he is an object OF
fear to those timid quadrupeds. When
the woodchuck is feeding, any undue
familiarity is Immediately resented and
he will chase the offender about the
ward. He is the king among the beasts
at the Soldiers Home. Two young ALI
gators, about twenty inches in length
sleep lazily in the sun or lash into foam
the water OF the tank at the approach Of
a meddlesome visitor.
A small monkey is the pet of the col
lection. The veteran who wears specta
cles has learned better than to put hi
face too near the mischievous animal. A
paw darts into the air, and in the sam'
instant at the further end of the cage thu
monkey is triumphantly holding up tn
spectacles, his eyes shining with al
most human intelligence. He is some
thing of burglar, too, for when he i
given the liberty Of the house and car
catch Major Coffey, the superintendent
of the Home, asleep, he will steal none,
from the majors pocket and thel
stealthily carry it to Mrs. Coffey.

GOOD ROADS.

1t is well established fact that the
community having the most and best
roads, invariably has the lowest tax
rate, the greatest thrift, the most and
best homes, and the highest prosperity.
For instance, according to the returns
in the Office of the Secretary of State,
and published in our issue of June 30,
the road mileage of these cities and vii
lagos is as follows: Brattleboro, %
miles; Bennington, 10 miles; st. Al
bans, 20; Rutland, As; Barre, IS; Bur-
lington, "a. Bennington has the least
road mileage and the highest tax rate.
1t follows as a natural sequence, in
evitably, that any policy pursued in OPP
position to building roads, wherever
needed to open avenues to homes and
encourage their building. whereby the.
taxable property, the comfort and con-
venience of the people may be promoted
is "a penny wise and pound foolish"
conception of the public welfare, say
ing at the spigot and losing at the bung'
method which is public loTs and det-
riment to any community.
The BANNER has no desire to question
the motives of the selectmeD in offering
Messrs. Childs and Bingham $50 for land
damages for the prospective road con-
Meeting South and Silver streets (the
land cost them nearly $500 before any
improvements were made) but the law
does not premit the confiscation of pri-
vate property, for public uses, without
adequate compensation. This road
would give from to 10 new houses and
$780, at least, of additional taxes to the
town and village each year. Messrs.
Childs and Bingham naturally resent
such c. proffer, as an invasion of their
rights of property and their privileges as
citizens and heavy tax payers.

PARALYSIS CAN BE CURED.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY TROY MAG
NETIC INSTITUTE CAN BE DONE AGAIN
BY THE SAME METHOD.
Paralysis has been regarded by the
regular profession as one of the incurable
diseases, medicine having very little eff
feet upon it. Electricity has done bet
ter, yet many cases existed on which
even the power of that was lost, and it
was not until magnetism began to be
scientifically applied thatall cases yielded
to treatment. The physicians of the
Troy Magnetic Institute have found that
the ELECTRO MAGNETIC TREATMENT
works wonders for this class of diseases.
Magnetism combined with electricity will
cure cases of paralysis where everything
else has failed, as many who have been
benefited can testify. In all cases of
partial paralysis we expect perfect
cure, and in all cases of complete paraly-
sis we expect TO be of more benefit than
any other form of treatment yet discov-
cred. Mr.. Charles Sherman, night bag
gageman at Whitehall, had paralysis to
that extent that he walked like drunk
en- man. He could scarcely use his
hands, and the sense of feeling was
greatly diminished. He had tried in
vain to get some relief from the use of
medicines, yet one or the stan OF Cne
Troy Magnetic Institute restored him to
perfect condition in, one month. This
case was remarkable from the short time
necessary to effect cure. IfyOu doubt,

large and constantly increasing business
of this Institution shows that the public
appreciate this form of treatment. Their
offices are daily filled with suffering hu-

thing necessary is to secure perfect

a kick to register. Why is it that Can
yon county Jail is not completed? /
understand that this county is now
maintaining prisoner in Ada county
Jail at cost of about - per day. II
our Jail was completed the cost could
be reduced one half. That would save
this county an amount equal to the in-
terest on $4,000, besides the money

nation is correct, it is time to kick
against the delay of completing the jail.
TAXPAYER.
EDITOR KICKER's CORNER-I have
lived in Caldwell a good many years.
In late years quite sum of money has
been collected as city taxes. would
like to know what becomes of it all.
l think the law requires that some sort
of a statement should be published. l
kick against paying taxes and never
knowing what becomes of the money.
CITIZEN.
EDITOR KICKER-I want to kick
about starting school SO early in the
morning. / think that 8 o'clock a. M,
sun time, is early enough this season
of the year. PUPIL.
EDITOR KICKER-Will you please let
me indulge q kick. Caldwell merchants
send away thousands of dollars In good
hard money every year for pork and
butter and eggs, but when farmer
brings any of those products to the
stores, they will not give him a cent Of
cash, but he must trade it out. I think
Caldwell merchants would do themsel-
yes and the country q great deal Of
good by paying cash for farm products
and letting the farmer buy what he
wants and where he will. The mer.
chants can make profit on the purchase
and sale from the farmers truck and in
most cases they win get the money
right back. We farmers like to handle
a little money once in q while If we
don't keep it long. Just as well let vi
handle it as send it to Kansas and Iowa
1t never gets back from there.
