COUNTY POLITICS.

The republican county convention
will be held in the Town Hall at ST..
Johnsbury next Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock. The call for the conven-
tion appears elsewhere.
The interest centers about the NOM
ination of senators, county judges
and states attorney.
Caledonia county is entitled to two
senator's and St. Johnsbury's claim
for one of them is generally recogniz-
ed. St. Johnsbury's candidate will
be L. D. Hazen, who is man worthy
to fill any office in the state. c. J..
Bell of Walden and George P. Blair
of Barnet are two excellent men who
have been mentioned for second SEN
ator Oh the ticket .-..,,.,,,e,-,
7or county Judge the fr1ends OF
Judge Tucker will doubtless present
his name for a second term. and Kirby
has candidatein Preston H. Graves.
Kirby has never had side judge and
presents strong candidate and
man who would ably fill the position.
Judge Hall has proved an excellent
man for the place and good many
friends wish he could be kept where
he is.
For states attorney w. H. Taylor
of Hard wick has been mentioned
and if chosen for this Office he would
carefully serve the interests of the
state. The people of St. Johnsbury
feel, however, that this office ought
to be kept in this town as so much
of the business has to be done here.
The present incumbent, Henry c.
Bates, is not a candidate for the
Office, but if nominated would accept
it again. Marshall Montgomery
would take the Office, but is not
working for it. Another name
favorably mentioned is that of Alex.
P. Nelson of the firm of Dunnett &
Nelson. The suggestion that Mr..
Nelson be candidate has come en-
! tirely from his friends, who think he
would fill the office with credit to
himself and the county.
Sheriff Sulioway and Judge Smith
will receive the unanimous renomina-
tion they deserve,
Caledonia county republicans will
work for,,the success of whomever is
nominated and a harmonious con-
vention next Tuesday is assured.

The pines may truly be considered
the most important of all trees in
Japan, and great care is taken in
their cultivation and preservation.
They are generally grown from seed,
and great care is taken to select the
choicest quality of seed. In the spring
of the second year, when the seed
lings are about eight inches in height.
they are staked with bamboo canes
and tied with rice straw, the plants
being bent in different desirable
shapes In the next fall they are
transplanted TO richer soil and are
well fertilized.
In the following spring the plants
are restaked and twisted and tied in
fanciful forms This mode of treat
ment Is given until the seventh year,
when the trees will have assumed
fairly large proportions, the branches
being trained i'll graceful forms and
the foliage like small crowds of dense
green. The plants are now taken up
and placed in pots II feet in diane
ter and are kept well watered every
succeeding year. Great care must be
taken TO keep new shoots pinched
back After another three years of
this treatment the trees are virtually
dwarfed, there being no growth
thereafter. Garden and Forest

The origin Of that compound Of salt
peter, charcoal. and sulphur known to
commerce as gunpowder, is very ancient
in fact 80 ancient that the first record
we have Of its use is by the Chinese in
the NTH century, in the preparation of
fireworks. and as the propeling force of
rockets. Seven hundred years elapsed
before one human being found that by
using it In an iron tube he could kill his
fellow. for from the sixteenth century
dates the discovery of firearms. Car
lysle says, in "Sartor Resartus." that the
great benefit of gunpowder is that it
makes all men equally tall''-for the pur-
pose of lighting. The more modern dis
covery Of steam transportation is some
what like, IN that it makes all men
equally speedy in travel. The sick can
move as rapidly as the well. the old be-
come swift as the young, while the mod
ern improvements in safety OF operation,
and cpmfortableness of surroundings,
nearly annihilate space and time. And
nowhere does this equalization of hu-
manity in speed Of motion appear more
plainly than on the well-equipped lines

tween all the principal cities OF the
