The CANARY ISLANDS ARE Wa
TERLEss.-The Canary Islands pos
sess not only the most wonderful
climate, but an extremely fertile
soil. The only difficulty in agri.
culture is the want of water. It
has lately been found that there are
great quantities OF water in cavities
of the mountains of Teneriffe. An
English company has undertaken
to get it out. They find that bor-
ing to a depth Of a hundred feet is
enough to procure large supply of
water. II they succeed in getting
an unlimited supply in this way,
the islands, which have declined in
prosperity in recent years, will pro-
badly develop greater productivity
than hitherto.

How TO PEEL TOMATOES
Nearly all cookbooks says: ssPour
boiling water over ripe tomatoes,
then skin them" and at least
ninety in every hundred persons
attempt. to skin them in this man
ner, and. consequently, do it very
imperfectly. This is the proper
way TO peel tomatoes: Cover them
with boiling water half q minute,
then lay them into cold water until
perfectly cold, and the skin can be
peeled of without difficulty, leaving
the tomatoes unbrokea as firm as
they were before being scalded.

The HISTORY OF THE CENT
The first American cent was ''struck
off, and put in circulation just 1O1
years ago, in 1898. Previous to
that date several "pattern pieces"
had been made, but they were ex-
periments only and were never put
in circulation. The so-called
washington cents, which existed
previous to the date above given,
were not issued by the Government,
and were, therefore, only medals.
The cent of 1913 was very similar
to the large copper cents of later
date, with the exception that the
face of Liberty" was turned to the
right, and the legend "One Cent"
was inclosed in u chain of Is links.

WHAT ACASEoN BALL CAN Do.
In dwelling upon the wonderful
power Of the guns Of the Indiana,
Albert Franklin Matthews, in an
article on 1.-The Evolution Of Bat
tle-ship," in The Century, gives
illustrations from the recent Chilean
civil war showing the effectiveness
Of the smaller sizes of breech-ioad-
ing rifeguns.
A shot weighing $50 pounds
from an eight-inch gun of Fort
Valdivia in Valparaiso harbor
struck the cruiser Blanco Encalada
above the armor belt. passed
through the thin steel plate on the
side, went through the captains
cabin, took the pillow from under
his head, dropped his head on the
mattress with thump, but without
injuring his hair, passed through
the open door into the mess-room,
where it struck the floor, and then
glanced to the ceiling. Then it
went through a wooden bulkhead
one inch thick into q room 25x42
feet where 40 men were sleeping in
hammocks. It killed six of them
outright, and wounded six others,
three Of whom died. after which it
passed through q steel bulkhead five
inches thick, and ended its course
by striking q battery outside, in
which it made q dent nearly two
inches deep. 1t was filled with
sand. Had it released deadly gases
no one knows what damage it might
have done.
A 450-pound missile from To-
inch gun in the same fort struck
the same vessel on its 8-inch armor.
1t hit square on bolt. The shell
did not pierce the armor, but burst
outside the vessel. 1t drove the
bolt clear through, and in its fight
the bolt struck an S-inch gun, COM
pletely disabling it. Such is the
power of the smaller-sized guns.

"MUGwUMPv IN ELIor's EXC
LIsH BIBLE.-Mr. A. Lindsey, of
st. Louis, writes the Republic as
follows concerning the subject men
toned in the headline: ssIt is
known to but q limited few that
John Eliot, the famous preacher,
inguist and Indian apostle, was
the author of the word smugwump.
Eliot was noted for his pathological
scholarship and linguistic talent
and as the only man who ever ac-
quired q complete mastery Of the
Algonquin dialect, which was spok-
en- in his day by the Indians Of the
Massachusetts, Bay region. The
word 'mugwump,' as it occurs in
his translation of the Bible, has a
meaning totally ut variance with
our acceptation of the term-it be-
ing there used to designate q great
chief or captain, such as Gideon,
Joab and others, and not as q dis
gruntled partisan, as we apply it,
Since receiving the above / have
taken the trouble look the matter
up, and find that Bro. Lindsey is
right in every particular. In the
Cambridge edition of the Bible in
question it appears three times in
Genesis and Samuel of the Old Test
ament, and in the eighth chapter
of Matthew. Each time it is SPELL
ed "mugquomp."

To PRESERVE FENCE PosTs.-
Fence posts are made very durable
il the part to go in the ground is
stepped in lime water. This is
most easily done by putting the
posts, butts down, in a pit two feet
deep, with fresh lime mixed in
among them and some under them.
Water is then poured on the lime,
and this is Stacked F; the heat of the
Stacking drives the air out Of the
wood, and more water being thrown
on thel ime, this is absorbed as the
wood cools, thus the pores are filled
with lime, by which the albumen
of the wood is destroyed and this
being the principal agent of decay
in timber, the posts are generally
increased in durability. They have
been known to keep souEd for over
forty years after this treatment.

HORSES CAN CoUNT.-A Rus
sian doctor has been experimenting
to find how far some domestic ami
mails can count. The intelligence
of the horse as shown in mathemat-
les, seems to surpass that of the
cat or deg.
The doctor found o horse which
was able to count the mile posts
along the way. IL had been trained
by it's master to stop for feed when
ever they had covered rs versts.
One day they tried the horse over 9
road where three false mile posts
had been put in between the real
ones. and, snre enough, the horse,
deceived by this trick, stopped for
his oats at the end of % versts, in
stead of going the usual %.
The same horse was accustomed
to being fed every day at the stroke
OF noon. The doctor observed that
whenevr the clock struck the horse
would stop and prick up his ears az
il counting. IL he heard IL strokes
he would trot of contentedly to be
fed, but IL it were fewer than IL
he would resignedly 60 on working.
The experiment was made of strik.
ing II strokes at the wrong time,
whereupon the horse started for his
oats in spite of the fact that he had
been fed only an hour before.

The Pains of Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, origin
ate in morbid condition of the blood.
Tactic acid, caused by the decomposition
of the gelatineous and albuminous It's
sues, circulates with the blood and at
tacks the fbrous tissues, particularly in
the joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The back
and shoulders are the parts usually at
fected by rheumatism, and the joints at
the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are
also sometimes attacked. Thousands
Of people have found in Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla a positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism. It has had remarkable
success in curing the most severe cases.
The secret of its success lies in the fact
that it attacks at once the cause of the
disease by neutralizing the Tactic acid
and purifying the blood, as well as
strengthening every function of the

LOOK TO YOUR DAUGHTERS.
THE WIVES AND THE MOTHERS
THAT ARE TOBE.
Their Thin, Pale Cheeks and Lack of
of Spirit Leaves no Doubt.
The Nerves are Poorly Fed and Blood
Lacks in Red CorpuscIes.

o, my boys are never nervous. One
couldn't stand that. But with girls, you
know doctor, it is different.
Too many mothers reason like that.
They do not like to hear their girls
called tomboys, and they hasten to
make them ''ladylike," to keep them
from running and climbing and from
vigorous games, while the boys are lay
ing in a stock of health that will last
them far into middle age.
The least sign of physical failure on the
part of girls at the critical times in their
lives should ring a grave alarm. Pale
lips, nervous ha bits. retarded growth, a
lack of high. youthful spirits and a poor
condition of the skin, urgently demand
better and a more complete nutrition.
In all cases, whether it be a young
child or an aged person. Paine's celery
compound adds vigor and increased
weight by strengthening the very founda-
ton of health, by feeding blood and
nerves richly and promptly. 1t is only
when the nerve centers are healthy that
the other bodily functions can be healthy.
If anxious mothers will only follow the
advice Of the most careful physicians,
and make sure that their children are
getting sufficient material to meet the
big demands made by their growing
nerves and tissues, there will be an end
to the weakly condition, the continual
headaches, the "blue days" and the
general ill-health that SO few young girls
escape.
The best ally against nervousness and
irritability is that remarkable nerve
food, Paine's celery compound, first
prescribed by Dartmouth's greatest
educator. Day by day, when taken with
the regularity and care that physicians
say is indispensable for excellent results,
comes invariably a steady gain in
weight, which can mean but one thing:
a gain in quantity and the quality of the
blood. Trifes begin to worry them less,
sleep comes naturally and refreshing,
appetite increases, and their frames grow
plump with solid flesh, because all the
delicate parts of the nervous system, up
on which the nutrition and ell-being of
the body directly depends, are beginning
to be fully nourished and to work with
out friction.
A body thus fed by Paine's celery COM
pound makes those joys and little in
nocent pleasures possible, without which
childhood and girlhood is sad to look
upon.

VERMONT MATTERS.

The fall meeting OF the White River
Medical association was held at White
River Junction, Dec. 4, with DIR. M. S.
Woodman, president, in the chair.
A barn full of hay belonging to Mark

The association of American agricultu-
raj colleges and experiment stations at
its recent session in Washington, ap-

the colleges and stations.
Vermont has nearly $4,000 miles of
public highways. Upwards of 100000
is annually expended on road improve
ments by the town and state govern
ments. This makes IN expenditure ev-
cry year OF over $50 per mile and almost
$1.6O per capita.

II. Sanborn. Rutland, harness; Nelson D.
Stanley, Essex Junction, nut lock.
1t is understood that there will be over
forty criminal cases on the docket for
next term at the Windsor county court.
Brattleboro is leading all Vermont
towns in road making. The town has
$4,000 macadamizing plant, and the
cost of macadamizing is So cents per
square yard.
