The Good Old State.

One reason why Vermont has not
experienced the advent of the good
times that we hear SO much about in
other places, is because it is an agri-
cultural, rather than a manufactur-
ing State. The more manufacturing
we have in Vermont the better times
we shall have, and the sooner we
shall get the benefit of them. We
have always advocated the establish
ment of more new manufacturing in
dustries in this State, believing it is
the best way to boom the State. Our
public spirited men, and especially
our boards of trade should bend
every effort toward the multiplying
of these industries. They will help
the farmers and the farmers will help
them. They will increase our wealth
and the population of the state as
well. Let us all take a hand in the
good work, and let the watchword
and our motto be "Boom Vermont~
There are facilities in the way of
water power that are unequaled in
any part of the Union, and there is
so much idle capital that hundreds
of our citizens have in the past been
sending it out West. Now the tide
has turned, and Vermonters are not
only willing but anxious to invest
their money at home, if any good
opportunity is offered them of doing
so. That is the thing to do. Invest
your money at home. Bring the
good times to our own doors. Build
up our Industries and increase our
wealth and population, so that there
may be greater prosperity and lower
taxes. Boom Vermont.-The Earth.

The Boston Journal directs the at
tention of all "modern women" to
the appearance of Miss Phoebe
Brown of Matlock, England, as noted
by William Hutton on July 3, 1901.
Her common dress was a mans hat,
coat, with spencer above it and
mems shoes. She could lift one hun
dred weight with each hand aud car
ry fourteen score. Her voice was
more than masculine, it was deep
toned, and the wind in her face, she
could send it mile. Yet she had no
beard. She could sew, knit, cook,
spin, but hated them all; she &C.
cepted any kind of manual labor,
but her favorite avocation was
breaking in horses at a guinea a
week. She was an excellent Judge OF
a COW and shot accurately with a
gun. Her chief food was milk and
she was fond of Milton, Pope and
Shakespear. This admirable female
also performed neatly on the flute,
violin, harpischord and bass viol.
She could cover easily forty miles a
day, and when a gentleman at New
Bath treated her rudely she said that
1" she had a good mind to have
knocked him down."

POLYGLOT PETITION.
HonOred Rulers Representatives and

Honored Rulers Representatives and
Brothers.
We, your Petitioners, although be-
longing to the physically weaker sex,
are strong of heart to love our homes,
our native land, and the worlds
family of nations.
We know that clear brains and
pure hearts make honest lives and
happy homes, and that by these the
nations prosper, and the time is
brought nearer when the world shall
be at peace.
We know that indulgence in Alco-
hol and Opium, and in other vices
which disgrace our social life, makes
misery for all the world, and most of
all, for us and for our children.
We know that stimulants and OPT
ates are sold under legal guarantees
which make the Governments part
ners in the traffic, by accepting as
revenue portion of the profits, and
we know with shame that they are
often forced by treaty upon popula.
tions, either ignorant or unwilling.
We know that the law might do
much, now left undone, to raise the
moral tone of society and render vice
difficult.
We have no power to prevent these
great iniquities beneath which the
whole world groans, but yon have
power to redeem the honor of the
nations from an indefensible compile
ity.
We therefore come to you with the
united voices of representative WON
en- of every land, beseeching you to
raise the standard of the law to that
of Christian morals, to strip away
the safeguards and sanctions of The
state from the. drink traffic and Tho
opium trade, and to protect oul
homes by the total prohibition O
these curses of civilization through
out all the territory over which YOU
government extends.

THE POLYGLOT PETITION.

So much has been said of late re-
garding the Polyglot Petition"
that we give herewith an article con-
corning it and also a copy of the pc
titiOn:-
What 1 Have Learned About The Worlds
Petition.
The word polyglot means the same
thing in many languages, hence,
polyglot petition means a petition
In many languages. Over thousand
yards of white muslin, bound on one
side with blue and on the other side
with red braid have been used in
mounting the names of the signers.
The principal object of this Petition
is to prevent governments from
granting licenses for the sale of
tobacco, alcohol and opium, because
these articles injure both the body
and the brain, besides bringing mis-
cry upon other people.
There are nearly fifty countries rep
resented in this Petition and about
as many languages.
The United States has the greatest
number of signers. Great Britain
comes next, with three hundred fifty
thousand, Canada with sixty-seven
thousand, then Burmah, and after
ward come the rest of the foreign
countries with more or less signers.
There are one million one hundred
and twenty-one thousand actual
signers, besides five million signers by
attestation. Although this is a
woman's Petition, there are both
men and women signers, including
people who are officers of societies.
That great Prohibition man, Neal
Dow, heads the list, while a little
farther down is found the name of
Joseph Cook. Besides these two we'll
known names are the names of a
great many other noted people.
The people who are circulating this
Petition will not stop until they Sc
cure two million actual signers be,
sides the signers by attestation. The
Petition has already been presented
to President Cleveland, who spoke
kindly of it but did not sign it. After
awhile it will be taken across the
Atlantic Ocean and presented to the
heads of various governments there
Since this is SUCH worthy Petition
and has SO many signers, it surely
ought to accomplish some good
which if it does will gladden. the
hearts of many of the United States
as well as those of people in Other
countries. GEORGE DIvENNEY,
