THE LESSON OF NATURE.

There's wealth of lovely pictures in TINS
blessed world of ours;
There's the rainbow in the heavens, after
spring and summer showers
With it's wondrous hues prismatic, with
its perfect arching grace,
From the zenith of its beauty to its dis
tant misty base.
There's the sunrise DER the mountains in
the simmering August days;
There's the sunset in the valley in vel
of blush haze;
Nere's the river flowing gently from the
upland to the sea,
Now all golden in the sunlight, in the
shadow silyery.
There's the meadow fun of clover, and the
cattle grazing there
All is silent, all is peaceful, all is free from
every care.
There's the vista through the woodland
with its gorgeous autumn hue;
There's the twinkling star a-peepinG
through the deepening evening blue.
There's the vast unrestful ocean meath a
fair unclouded sky;
There's tho dancing wave a-winking a!
the ships go sailing by;
There's the garden with its MOVERS WITT
it's roses all ablow;
There's the very soul of purity. the first
fresh fall of snow.
And they come and go forever in a never
ceasing train,
And we mortals, gazing on them, know
they're sure to come again.

Encouraging for Our Horsebreeders

We recently printed figures showing the
alarming extent to which the adoption of
electricity for street car propulsion and the
RAPIDLY increasing use of the bicycle were
diminishing the demand for horses. Evil
dcnce of this influence is to be found in the
remarkable depreciation of horses in mar
ket il being possible to secure a very good
carriage horse in many parts of the coun-
try for 500 or less. Interesting statistics
bringing out this same fact have recently
been published in Iowa. 1t is shown that
the average value placed on horses in the
Hawkeye State in 1898 was $40, whereas in
1885 the average value has deprecated TO
$40.
The general effect Of this depreciation
throughout the country will be to cause
breeders of horses to devote their atten-
ton to some other stock or industry, and
this will be in accordance with one of the
well-known laws of supply and demand.
as demonstrated by experience. The wise
breeder of horses in Vermont, however,
ought to be an exception to this rule, and
If he manages rightly he will be in posi-
ton to profit from tho reaction which is
sure to follow.
In the first place it is to be noted that
the class of horses displaced on street car
lines in all of the large cities by the cable
or electricity is not the class that Vermont
breeders place upon the market, but rather
draft horses, and those of the plug order.
Then again the demand for fine carriage
horses will not only continue, but it will be
sure to increa SCI for the present cheapness
of horses will lead many people to keep
their own carriage who have not been in
the habit of so doing, and the habit of rid
Ing will not easily be shaken off, even
when higher prices follow.
1t is predicted that as a result of the in
nuences which we have pointed out good
carriage horses will be worth twice as
much two years hence as at the present
time; but as most breeders will have be-
come discouraged over the unprotltab BILE
stock on hand and handsome young horses
cannot be grown in single year, there
will then be marked sea rcity of attrac-
tive drivers. Fine carriage horses have
made Vermont famous, and our breeders
have only to stick to the raising of this
class of drivers to reap a harvest in the
near future.

n marked impetus will be impaired to the
construction of cross-country lines con-
Meeting villages; for the income to be
derived from the furnishing of power to
mills and other industries along the line
will form a new factor in electric road
investments and render such lines profit
bic where otherwise perhaps they might
not be completed.
Vermont is rich in its possession of
water power all over the State, and it is
not impossible that in the early future
there will be few of our larger villages
which will not boast of their electric
plants, furnishing power for short lines of
railroad, as well as for large farming
operations and other industries in their
immediate vicinity. This time now seems
to be far distant, but the rapid and remark
able progres5 already made in the electric
field suggests the possibility that it may
be much nearer than most of our residents
suppose.

Electricity in Rural Districts.

While most intelligent people nave APP
prcciated the many ways in which electric
power might he used in rural districts,
they have been unable to understand how
an electric current could be provided for
such operations. While water powers are
plentiful in many parts of the country the
obstacles TO be overcome are so great and
the inducements to construct electric
power plants for use in agricultural
operations apparently so small that the
early introduction of this power into farm
ing sections has seemed to be extremely
improbable.
A Missouri corporation has. however
come to the front with project which
opens the possibility not only of furnishing
electric power to farms in the vicinity Of
electric railroads, but which also contem
plates the Illumination of rural district.

The Serum Cure for Diphtheria.

Prof. Bggs of the meteorological labora-
tory of the New York health department
has just returned from Europe, where he
attended the congress of the British Insti-
tute of Public Health He says that the
consensus of opinion among the eminent
physicians in attendance at the meeting
who had devoted much time to the prac-
teal observation of the treatment of diph-
iberia by anti-toxin, that the experimental
stage had long since passed, and that the
remedy had proved its claim to be far
above all other remedies for the cure of
diphtheria. and that no physician would be
justified in neglecting to resort to this
treatment in any case of dlphtheria that
he is called upon to attend.
From Munich came the report that since
the beginning of the serum treatment the
mortality had been reduced to III per
cent. considerably more than one-half
when compared with the best years.
Prof. BaginsSy of the University of Berlin
said that during the last year he had
treated 525 diphtheria patients with serum.
Previous to the introduction of this form
of treatment the mortality during four
years averaged Al per cent, but by the
serum treatment it had been reduced to
1876 per cent. The serum treatment was
said by Prof. Baginsky not only to reduce
the mortality, but the whole condition of
the child was improved by it. The use of
anti-toXin has increased much in Paris,
the result being that during 1895 the high
est figure of mortality for fourteen days
was twenty-seven and the lowest was
four. "No better evidence of the efficacy
of the serum treatment is needed to estab-
fish its value and extend its USE" says Dr.
Biggs.

NEW ENGLAND'S LEGISLATURES
Q'rom the Springfield Republcan)

Tho inequalities of legislative represen-
cation in the New England States are strik-
ingly brought out by a writer in the An
nails of the American academy, George II.
Haynes of the Worces.ers' polytechnic in
institute. Connecticut and Vermont offer
well known instances, since in these States
the principle of equality in town repre-
sentation is largely insisted upon, in Yer
mont entirely so. Still in the other States
there is a noteworthy difference between
the strength Of each political party in the
Legislature and at the ballot box. In
Maine, New Hampshire. Massachusetts
and Rhode Island the third parties, while
casting together nearly per cent of the
popular vote at the last elections, have no
representation at all in tho Leg slatures.
But this not so well worth remarking as
the difference between the two old parties.
The following will present the situation
graphically for each State:
