The State Campaign.

Although we should have preferred that
the name of w. w. Stickney should head
the state ticket, we accept the verdict of
the convention philosophically and shall do
what we can to roll up the usual Vermont
majority next September. Major Grout is,
we believe an able and honorable gentle
man, and will make Vermont good gov
ernor. He has not been opposed because
of any unfitness for the office but because
of the kind Of support he was receiving.
We believe, as we have believed all the
time, that the parcelling out of state offices
by coterie of self appointed bosses, for
years ahead, is pernicious and wrong, and
Mr.. Stickney's almost victory was the loud
est sort ofprotest against this sort of political
tactics. Mr.. Stickney's friends are proud
OF the admirable fight he made against the
ring. an almost united state press, and a
formidable array Of promises of support
exacted anywhere from two to ten years
ago. This campaign has made known the
existence OF faction in the party that the
leaders will no longer dare ignore.
Now that the fight is over the ranks will
close for an aggressive campaign against
the common enemy. There will be no
skulki6g on the part of the Stickney men.

vices Of an able and conscientious publ,

A Cool Effect In a Cottage.

A woman with fondness for cool
effects has made a charming corner i'll
her summer cottage by the liberal use
of green denim and white linen. The
New York journal says: The divan is
covered with green denim. The pillows
xre Of plain green denim, plain white
linen and green and white Grape cloth.
The covers were made with buttons and
button holes, so that they could be read
lily laundored. The screen at the foot Of
the divan was of green and white Grape
cloth shirred over white wooden
frame. The white tea table was set out
with pale green china, and the white
shelf that extended around the corner
half way up the wall had bits of green
hric-a-brac in glass and pottery upon it.

pour it at once into the cups of stone
ware, we'll buttered. Do not melt the
butter or heat the cups, but butter the
cold cups with unnelted butter. Do not

muffin, with butter. 1t is often served
rs plain dessert, with sweetened cream.

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.

Il
 The early settlers in America paid no attention toward protecting themselves against fire, and the different colonies had grown into fair sized communities with several industries we'll established before any steps were taken in that di- rection. About the earliest mention of definite method of fire protection was made at Salem, Mass, in 1644, when each inhabitant was ordered to be sup piled with ladder under penalty of fine of shillings. These ladders were undoubtedly made in Salem or in the immediate vicinity, and one might readily say that here began an Ameri- can industry that is now carried on so extensively in many places and under a multitude of different forms In 1648 four fire wardens were appointed in New York city. These men passed law to fine every one whose chimney became foul or whose house was burned by his own carelessness. The money so Ob tained was to be used in the purchase of ladders, hooks and buckets These were not provided, however, until some years later.
 Boston also took steps in this direc- tion, and on the first day of the twelfth month of 1853, or, by the modern method of computation, on Feb. l, 1854, the following entry is found in the town records:
 'The selectmen have power and lib erty hereby to agree with Joseph Jynks for Ingins to Garry water in Case of fire if they see Cause soc to doe. John o. Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A Little Sketch of Casabianca, Real
 Hero In g Famous Naval Battle.

A Little Sketch of Casabianca, a Real
 Hero In g Famous Naval Battle.
 The boy who stood on the burning deck has been familiar figure in the mind of every school child, but 1t IS surprising to learn how few people know anything about him or the vessel on the burning deck of which he perished.
 Louis Casabianca, father of the youth ful hero, was a Corsican serving iD the navy of the French republic. He was a brave officer, and when General Bona parte invaded Egypt in 1798 Captain Louis Casabianca was appointed to the flagship L'Orient.
 His son, lad of only 10 years of age, begged to be allowed to accompany him, and he was also appointed ''middy" on board the admiral's ship. The fleet sailed from Toulon with the transports and troops, and Sir Horatio Nelson went after them with the British fleet.
 A curious thing happened while the fleets were in the Mediterranean. The English were seeking the French, and when 15 men -of-war were hunting for IT other men-of-war and 400 transports vou would think that in such narrow sea they would meet. But they dldn t.. The hostile fleets actually crossed each other one night, and not even Casabian- ca's keen young eyes detected the ene- my's vessels.
 The Orient and the rest of the French ships reached Egypt, the soldiers under Bonaparte landed, and the admiral anchored his ships in the bay of Abukir.
 It was on the 1st of August that our young hero, always oD the alert, was sitting up at the masthead, on the watch for the enemy, when he perceived two strange vessels, then three more and fin- ally a dozen ships approaching. He i'm mediately gave the alarm. The English had come. Then followed fearful nav al battle.
 Captain Casabianca was wounded and carried to the cabin, accompanied by his son. Smelling fire, which had seized upon the ship, the father, so one story of the occurrence goes, sent his son to the deck, probably for greater safety, bidding him remain until he told him to leave it. But the brave captains life went quickly out, and his heroic son waited in vain for the word that could never come. Thus it came to pass that, in the words of the poem:
 He called aloud, "Say. father. say. if yet my
 task is done''
 He knew not that the chieftain lay unconscious
 of his son.
 And when at length a fearful rending explosion shatters the flame swept ship whence all but him had fled''-
 The boy! Oh. where is he?
 Ask of the winds that far around with frag
 ments strewed the sea.

The Color Line Obliterated.

The Chicago Women's club, which distinguished itself last winter by hay ing internal dissension on the admls- sion of Mrs. Fannie Berrier Williams, a colored applicant for membership, has at last placed itself on record as being in sympathy with the spirit of the fifteenth amendment.
 The progressive members of the club have amended the constitution, and the club as whole has accepted the amend ments. The clause which it was feared might cause a controversy was passed without comment. It declares qualfica- tions for membership to be character, intelligence and the reciprocal advan- tages to the club and the individual, without regard to race, color, religion or politics, and it was carried, conse- quently by the concluding ballot. By virtue of this final decision on the color line the supporters of Mrs. Fannie Der rier Williams say there is no reason why her name may not be proposed for read mission this autumn.-Exchange

The Average Woman.

Some one has suggested that copy of the statue of the average woman" recently exhibited in Boston should be placed in every girls school in this country in the hope that it will serve as a much needed object lesson. The statue is the result of 5000 measure ments taken by Dr. Sargent of Harvard from young girls The result is figure at least "50 per cent removed from a perfect type," showing conclusively the crying need of physical culture for American women. The statue of the average man" obtained in the same way is 8 much more nearly perfect figure.

Where Kissing Is Unknown.

Excepting where they have adopted the habit from other more civilized folk, kissing is unknown to the Australians, New Zealanders, Papuans and Eskimos. It is curious that peoples of the tropical south seas and the icy north should pos sess this solitary point of agreement. Instead of kissing, they rub noses to. gether. It has been noticed, however, that when they have acquired the kiss ing habit they stick to it.

Mrs. s. R.

She thinks equal suf- frage would "raise the moral tone of the whole country, especially as regards the liquor traffic and the prevention of the regulation of vice" :" The Newark Daily Advertiser recalls in this connection that it was owing entirely to the untir- ing efforts of the women of New Jersey that the age of protection for girls was raised from 10 to 15 years
