NOTES..

Gentle reader, are you fond of
onions? If so, here is a chance to
combine business with pleasure.
Charles A. Smith, of Denver, has is
sued a broadside challenge to eat
onions against any man in this coun-
try for $500.
The Masonic Temple of Chicago is
the highest building in the world, and
visit to it's observatory, 302 feet
above the sidewalk, is both enter
tanning and instructive From no
point may such perfect comprehen-
sion of the vastness of that great
city be had, and ones visit to the
Worlds Fair is not complete until
one sees this great building and its
environments.
Unless you write or have printed
on your envelopes the number of
days you wish your letter held, the
postmaster, by a new ruling will
hold them thirty days instead of ten.
This is important to business men
who do not want their letters detain-
ed over five or ten days. To avoid
trouble the number of days the letter
is to be held should be conspicuously
printed.
1t would seem as though more of
our farmers would engage in the
raising of early garden fruit and
vegetables for the market. Here is
one enterprise i'll which the farmer
of Vermont is not obliged to COM
pete with his western brethren, and
the wise farmer of Vermont will de-
vote his energies to that branch of
his calling in which there is the least
competition and the best outlook
for profitable returns. Quite an
amount in value of these goods are
brought into this and other towns
six days every week, and If raised in
town the money could be kept at
home and besides at the prices sold
for there is a good profit to the
raiser.
The temperance reformer, Francis
Murphy, is of the opinion that drunk
enness is decreasing, in spite of sta
tistics to the contrary. His expert
ences show him that the demands of
business more and more require
sobriety in men, and employers are
insisting upon strict temperance in
their employees. SO the drinking
man is finding it more difficult to
obtain employment and is led to re-
form. Stronger than all the moral
arguments is the appeal of personal
interest, and it may be that the most
effective temperance reform is to
come through the necessities of bust
ness. If this is the ease, the drinking
question will yet be settled in a ra-
tional and altogether satisfactory
way.

1t is always good policy to use the
best kind of seed oats in planting,
as a good crop is generally the re-
suit. But when you use your neigh
boris oats for this purpose without
his permission, the price is rather
higher than the average farmer cares
to pay. Nevertheless, an enterpris-
ing young farmer on Battle Row did
the latter and now pays for the oats
at the rate of 81 90 per bushel. Still
he can console himself on the fact
that he has a good crop and of a
variety not generally found in this
section.

man bearing the same name, gave
two performances of this kind in this

spectators. The remarkable per-
formances of fifteen trained horses
and mules constitute a portion of
the programme, and in addition to
this feature there is some wonderful
slack wire, tight rope, horizontal bar
and flying trapeze work by male and
female artists. The performance
closes with some interesting hippo
drome races. The show visits TWEEN
ty-eight places in Vermont and is
we'll worth seeing.
