Sit Up Straight.

Nothing is more abominable in a
young person than the habit of STOPPING
and, except when caused by malforma-
ton or actual weakness, nothing is more
incxcusablc. A slouchy, STOPPING habit
Of carriage always suggests laziness, and
often stealth and dishonesty. Carry
your head erect, expand your chest,
throw back your shoulders, or you will
never possess grace or a commanding
presence

Round shoulders and ow-shaped spines
may be avoided by watchfulness during
youth, and retained in maturity without
an effort.
If you bend over too much in your
studies, get low seat. Saw the legs
off an old chair, aud then sit down so
low that your chin will come just above
the table; make bind legs little shorter
than the fore legs, and then read and
write with your arms on the table, and

INSPIRATION.

In the white October morning,
When the first frost brightly CLEANS
On the velvet Of the flowers
Ere they wakeu from their dreams,
And their petals, pink with blushing,
Are yet folded, in embrace
OF the pearl enameed dewdrops,
Like the tears on some sad face
In the brown October morning,
When the silences are sweet
With the music of the waters,
"Where the brook and river meet"
And the moss with constant dripping
Echoes back in softer song
All the melody my pent up soul
Would utter the day long.
In the gray October morning,
When the dying grass is wet
With the weeping of the angels
For the Springs dead violet
All my heart is flushed with passion,
All my limbs with strength seem prone
| would lift my voice and praise my God
For the universe own

TAXATION IN VERMONI,S LARGE
TOWNS.

The residents of Vermont will be
interested in a bulletin which has
Just been issued by the census bureau,
dealing with the subject of the
finances of municipalities having a
population of 1000 or more. The
figures contained in the bulletin have
been summarized from the final re-
ports Of the last census, and contain
statements showing the assessed
valuation of real and personal prop
erty, the total taxation as well as
the rate per capita and per 500, the
valuation of property, the debt per
capita and the true and assessed
values of real estate.
Burlington heads the list with an
assessed valuation of both real and
personal property of $40, 1857
Rutland, including the town, has
total assessed valuation of $685.
$40; Brattleboro, $4,231 ,724;
Rockingham, including Bellows Falls,
$3,61S, 1872; St. Johnsbury, $3,6O7,-
500; St. Adams, So, 159, 1926; Mont
pelier, So, O79,O5 Bennington, 3d.
$50, 413; Barre, $2,441 1888; Col
chester. including Winooski, 81 1884,,
22O. The rate of taxation per 500
in the respective towns is as follows:
Montpelier, $2O1; Rockingham,
$1.73; Colchester, $1.72; Benning-
ton, $1.66; st. Adams, $1.64; Rut-
land, $1,53; Brattleboro, Jas !;
Burlington and Barre, each, $1.39;
and ST. Johnsbury, $1.24.
In comparing the rates of taxation
between the several places, it should
be borne in mind that the relation of
the assessed valuation to the true
valuation varies greatly, and what
is apparently a high rate of taxation
may be owing, not to an excessive
levy but to the low value placed up
on the property assessed. requiring
the rate to be correspondingly high
IN order to yield the desired revenue.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
taxation per capita represents more
nearly the relative burdens imposed
by the tax levy.
Referring to the figures given by
the bulletin relating to the tax levy
for all purposes on real and personal
property, we find the rate per capita
in various Vermont towns to be as
follows: Montpelier. $14S5; Rock.
ingham, $13.71; Rutland, $40 %
Burlington, $967; Brattleboro

CARING FOR QUAIL.

Chairman n. P. Leach of Highgate,
of the recently chosen League COM
mittee to look after the introduction
of new game into this state, has is
sued the following circular to MEM
bers of the State Fish and Game
League, on the matter of caring for
quail:
ITO those who intend to make a
plant of quail, the following in
structions may be of value. The first
thing to be considered is to secure
strong, hardy birds from either West
Virginia or Eastern Tennessee.
Southern birds are smaller and much
less hardy.
1.-The next to be considered, is your
locality adapted for quail? The
most desirable localities for quail in
Vermont are the pine plains in the
lake towns, where there are thickets
of white birch, sweet fern and briar,
with low evergreens in the ravines
and swamps. When you release
your birds, select a warm day early
IN May and take them to some back
road, or where the sand is exposed
near thicket. Take them out of
their coops one by one, and thorough
ly saturate them in a pail of luke
warm water; this will cause them to
run and hide in the thicket, instead
of starting for some distant locality.
After the last bird has been released,
retire with the coops as quickly and
quietly as possible, and the birds will
soon come out to the sand to dust
and dry themselves, and thus become
wonted and attached to the spot.
1.-The next thing is to provide shell
ter and food for your birds during
the coolest stormy days of the COM
ing winter. Get some farmer in the
vicinity to put in patch of buck
wheat, and when ripe cut and stack
it, with the tops outward, in the
edge of a thicket where the quail
frequents. Drive down each side OF
the stack crotches; lay in poles and
cover with brush to keep off the
snow. This will furnish them food
during the stormy days, when they
cannot forage elsewhere. For shell
tiers, they are best made beside a rail
or brush fence by laying rails or poles
side by side, one end on the ground
and the other end raised some two
feet from the ground. Make this
lean-to ten or twelve feet wide, put a
layer of straw underneath, and cover
with straw and brush. Also brush
up the sides, excepting hole about
two feet square each side near the
top end. If not built against fence,
also enclose the raised end with
wall of brush. IF not convenient to
make buckwheat stack, feed for the
birds should be placed every few days
during the winter in the shelter that
they most use. This food may con-
sist of screenings, seeds of all kinds,
corn, damaged wheat, etc. Their
food should be placed in the shelters
during the middle of the day so as
to not disturb the birds in the morn
ing or evening. With a moderate
amount of food and shelter they will
stand any amount of cold weather.
Trap off all weazels and skunks, and
shoot all prewling woods-cats found
in the vicinity, and Bob White will
flourish and be the merriest game
bird in the country"
To this it may be added that the
planting of wild sunfower seed,
which may be obtained in Colorado,
furnishes an excellent food for ouai1
