The forenoon session was occupied aim st en-
tirely with talk by G. VI. Winslow, cattle com
missioner and member OF the board OF agricu
ture From knowledge Of facts gained in his
experience within the last year he had become
convinced that tuberculosis among cattle was
new disease that had been introduced into this
state within the last - or 30 years, II it had
listed for a longer time all the cattle in the state
would have been exposed to the contagion and
all, or nearly ALL would have had the disease,
Mr. WinslOw gave a somewhat detailed account
Of the work Of the cattle commission in this state
| They had proceeded upon conservative grounds,
being careful not to make the state unnecessary
expense in the examination OF cattle or herds not
probably affected. When they were applied to

test inquiries were made, which, il honestly an
swered by the owner, would snow whether there
was any probability Of the disease being In his

Tired. Weak. Nervous,

Means impure impoverished blood, and over.
work or too much strain on brain and body The
only way to cure is TO feed the nerves on pure
blood. Thousands Of people certify that the best
blood purifier, the best nerve tonic and strength
builder is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What 1t has done
for others It will do for you-Hood's Cures.
Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss OF appetite and
general debility all disappear when Hoods Sar,
saparilla is persistently taken, and strong nerves.
sweet sleep, strong body, sharp appetite and in a
word, health and happiness, follow the of
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The strong point about Hoods Sarsaparilla is
that they are permanent, because they start from
the solid foundation Of purified, vitaliZed and
riched blood, Through its healthful effect upon
the blood, Hoods Sarsaparilla reaches every
nerve, organ and tissue Of the body, and by Civ
ing them the pure life food which they need, it
makes the weak strong. II does not act like a
narcotic, sleeping potion or stimulant, giving
fictitious strength from which there must follow
a reaction of greater weakness than before, but
1t builds up In perfectly natural way all the
weakened parts and gives nerve, bodily, menta
and digestive strength.

HTNSDALE, N, H,
Prof. RevernRe,s Address.

Professor O. l.. Beverage of Brattleboro
gave the third number In the High school
lecture course Friday evening. If this
lecture course continues to give such good
things to the audiences it will prove the
best ever given i'm Hinsdale and far the
most profitable to the hearers. Prof. Bev-
erage took as his subject summers out
ing on board fishing schooner. The sub
ject was so new, so fresh, and so interest
ingly treated as to impress most wildly all
who heard it, Prof Beverage was junior
in Colby when the offer came to him to
form one of the fishing crew, and he went
partly for the outing and partly for the
money to aid himself through the senior
year. A drawing of the schooner on the
blackboard gave good idea of a fishing
vassel and on such one he left for the
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the stretch of
Prince Edward's Island coast between East
and North East capes. The first ascent
to the lookout, the first sight of a school
of mackerel and the doubt whether it
might mean thousands of barrels or only a
pod; then the exciting race of many of the
fleet of from 80 to 200 schooners always
gathered on the fishing waters, then the
taking to the dory and the casting of the
220 fathom seine as the boat made the cir
cult of the fleeing school, the drawing of
the 'purse string" and the work of all
night, all day and until o'clock the next
morning to cure and pack the fish, until
the exhaustion of the weeks of constant
watching and excitement, of the tremcn-
dous strain of the race, and the unceasng
exertion that followed, often made the
strongest fall fainting in their places; all
these were wildly described by one who
told no fish stories, excepting true ones.
The fact that these things are found in no
books, but only on the lips of one who had
lived the fisherman's life, made the talk
most valuable.

PUTNEY,
An Attempted Robbery.

The Sioux City, Ia, Times, under date
of January 81, has the following to say of
G.. NJ. Gilbert, a brother of j. NJ. Gilbert
of this place and well known here: Had
George NJ. Gilbert, a merchant tailor of
Ala Fourth street, fingered few moments
longer at his supper Thursday evening he
woull have been several hundred dollars
poorer. When Mr. Gilbert returned from
his supper he noticed one of the doors
leading into his place of business was
slightly aiar. Thinking he had forgotten
to fasten the door he went directly into his
shop and was met by two men, whom he
thought to be customers. One of the men
greeted him with, Good evening Are
you the tailor? When will the other man
be imp While the men were talking they
were making their way toward the door.
Mr.. Gilbert had only time to answer their
questions when the men hurried through
the door and down to the street. Mr.. Gil
bert then noticed the lock had been forced
from its fastenings. He fastened to the
other end of the shop and there found,
heaped up in one pile, all of the clothing
which had been made up for his customers,
valuable Innings, silks and other goods.
The men must have entered his store as
soon as he left, for he was absent only
about As minutes. He seldom is in the
shop in the evening, but was expecting
a customer, which fortunately FASTENED his
return from supper. The fastening of one
of the other doors has been loosened, but
the men were unable to effect an entrance
by that route. A description of the men
was furnished to the police by Mr.. Gilbert,
who says he could easily recognize them if
he should see them again." Previous IN
successful attempts have been made to rob
this same store, as Mr.. Gilbert is known to
carry valuable stock of goods.

inexpensive Cold Storage House

A refrigerRting house has been built
in Michigan which will serve as q useful
model for small country communities
which desire the advantages of cold
storage at low cost. The walls Of the
house are built Of cedar blocks, laid up
with lime mortar like masonry, save that
the mortor is laid under each Of the
leaders eighteen inches long, Of which
the wall is chiefly composed, leaving
six-inch air space in each joint. The
outside Of the wall has coat OF cement,
and the inside is heavily coated with
quicklime plaster, against which dressed
sheathing was nailed while the mortar
was still soft. The floor is paved with
cedar blocks and the loft over the storage
room is filed with straw, The windows
have five sashes, with successive four
inch air spaces. The cost Of the building,
with cold room "a feet by 30 feet by 8
feet high, is given at about 5000. The
building is cooled by natural ice stored
during the winter, and ripe fruits are
kept in it q month without injury

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
connot reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh Is blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure 1t you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. Il
was prescribed by one Of the best physi-

cous surfaces. The perfect combination
Of the two ingredients is what produces

"Men give me credit for genius"
said Alexander Hamilton. Gan the
genius have lies just In this: When l
have q subject in hand, | study 1t pro-
foundly, day and night. 1t is part Of
me; explore 1t in all It's bearings; my
mind becomes perVsded with 1t. Then
the effort which l make people are
pleased to call the fruit of genius; 1t Is
the fruit of labor end thought" These
words disclose one of the secrets Of
the impression which q mind dealing
with q subject with which 1t has filed
itself always makes. Hamilton was q
man Of genius in spite Of his disaVoWsl;
but genius cannot supply the place Of
information nor render unnecessary
the thorough work which must pre-
cede mastery of any subject. A trained
eye can always detect in print the diff
ference between q treatment Of q
subject based on a thorough and pro-
found study, and treatment based on
a rapid consultation Of the encyclO-
pedias. Many men have the power of
picking up information rapidly, but
the difficulty with this method is that
the information 80 collected does not,
to use HamiltOn's phrase, "perVsde
the mind" 1t is only when q subject
is mastered by exploration In every di-
rection and by long meditation that
the mind becomes imbued with It's pc
culisr quality, is able to divine what 1t
does not see at q glance, and In the end
presents 1t from q fresh and individual
point Of view. The intellectual differ.
ence between men Is much more i'm
portsnt along the line Of quality than
along the line of mere information.
There are great many fairly well
informed people who have practically
nothing to say on any important sub
ject; they know q good deal but they
have not mastered the subject, nor
have they really entered into 1t. On
the other hand, there are those whose
information is comparatively limited,
and yet who make positive contribu-
tiOns to a subject whenever they dis
cuss it. There are those who touch
everything on the rim, and there are
those who see everything from the
center, The first are always superb
cisl, no matter how large their infor-
nation; the second are always funds-
mental, no matter how limited their
definite knoWledge.-Ihe outlook.
