YOU HAVE Walled FOR THIS.

There are many people who would be glad
to abandon the habit of drinking coffee if
they could only find some substitute for it.
That substitute is Grain-O, made from pure
grains and, in the opinion of those who have
given il II thorough trial, beverage in every
way preferable to coffee. Grain-O is not a
stimulant-it is something better. 1t is
cheering, nutritious and Strengthening. In
other words it is a food drink. as coffee is
MT 1t is acceptable to the most delicate
stomach, and agrees even with confirmed
dyspeptics. Unlike coffee Grain-O produces
10 nervous action. 1t never interferes with
sleep. As for the flavor of Grain-D. people
who use it say that after using it a week OF
two they like its taste better than that OF cot
fee. Grain-O is sold by all grocers at l5c and
25c per package. Try it.

TOWN BONDS FOR $4,000.
This Amount Voted Yesterday Payable $500
AnnuaIIy-FOur Per Cent Interest.

Some dozen or Is of the legal voters of
the town of Rockingham met in town hall
yesterday forenoon persuant to warning.
The meeting was called to order by Mod
orator H. d. Ryder.
The following resolution was introduced
by 4. H. Allbee seconded by John H.
Williams and unanimously accepted and
adopted.
Resolved-For the purpose of defrayinp
expenses of purchasing site, grading the
same, and erecting the high school build
ing thereon, the treasurer and selectmen
are hereby authorized and directed to issue
bonds of the town to an amount not
exceeding $4,000 in such denominations
as they deem best; said bonds not to bear
a larger rate of interest than four per cent,
payable semi-annually, and to be payable
$4,000 on the first day of January each
year beginning January 1, 1893, and ne
gotlate the same, or such portion thereof
as may be found necessary; said bonds to
be denominated Rockingham school bonds,
authorized by act 242 of Vermont legisla-
ture, A. D 1896, approved November 4 ,
1896.
The argument used by those favoring
this kind of an issue &c that the town owes
S18,5OO which can be paid at any time
during the next 10 years; paying $500 a
year on this and $2500 on the new issue
would make S4,000,-just what has
been paid on the debt during the past
year. This year, however, there was
special assessment of 10 per cent to apply
on the Indebtedness, and so in order to
meet these payments this 10 per cent extrs
will have to be made permanent.

Basket Ball.

A close and exciting game of basket
ball was played in Union hall last evening
between the Town and the Y. NJ. C. A.
teams resulting in victory for the latter
by score of 2l to H.
The line up was as follows:
Town Y.M.C. A.
Jennison left guard Burr
Moulton right guard Buttterfield
Lawrence center Chandler
Dennison left forward Danfortl
Andrews right forward McKinnon
Referee, Coffin of Vermont Academy
umpires, Wilson and Freer; timekeeper,
Campbell; scorer, Finlayson.
Lawrence four goals, Andrews three
Danforth two, McKinnon two, Chandler
five from field and three from fouls. The
town team had six fouls to its credit and
association five.
AT the end of the first half the score
stood 8 to 6 in favor OF the association
team. The boys are playing very good
ball considering the practice they have had
and the prospect of holding teams in sur
rounding towns to close score before the
end of the season is fiattering.

rireproof Paper.

Fireproof paper. for printing and
writing purposes, is now manufactured
in Berlin by new patented process.
Ninety-fye parts asbestos fiber OF the
best quality are washed in solution
of permanganate of calcium and then
treated with sulphuric acid as bleach
ing agent. Five parts OF wood pulp,
as used in paper factories, are added,
and the whole is placed in the agitat-
ing box, with an addition of lime water
and borax. After being thoroughly
mixed the material is pumped into the
regulating box and allowed to flow out
of gate on an endless wire cloth,
where it enters the usual paper-mak-
ing machinery. 1t is easy to apply
water marks to this paper. which or
dinarily has o smooth surface, but
which can be satin finished, this being
more preferable for writing purposes.
Paper thus produced is said to resist
even the direct influence OF flame and
remains uninjured even in a white
heat.

A RICH FAMILY.

London press reports place the wealth
OF the Rothschild family at 81, 600, ,O0O,-
0O0 Among how many persons the
wealth Of this family is divided, the
Rothschilds alone know. As the stock oil
gold money in the world is but abou,
"a. 900, OOO. 900. the Rothschilds have one.
half, or would have il their possessions
could be converted into cash without
sbrinksge. But much of this wealth is
in the form Of bonds which no one ex-
poets to be paid. The rules which ap-
ply to banks in respect to the msinte-
nance OF relation between cash on
hand and liabilities do not apply to ma
tional bonds. The latter become paya-
BILE at fixed dates and, Of course, cannot
be presented for payment until the time
has expired. There are current sales in
ell the exchanges. Of Europe at which
such bonds as are offered are purch ased
without regard to the date Of maturity.
The critical time comes when for one
cause or another the offers exceed the
demand. Then prices fall. Then great
houses like the Rothschilds rush in TO
sustain the market. II the cause which
induces the fall 10 slight, firm tone is
given to the market by q comparatively
email investment on the part OF large
bondhelders. One service the Roths-
child family performs is to stand between
the world and big war. There is no
diplomacy so persuasive as the diplomacy
of q money-king who simply buttons up
bis pocket when q war-kiDg wants to 90
to war. There is in fact but one ruler in
Europe aud his name is Rothschild. The
several nations of Europe owe collectively
about $50, 900. .O00, 600. Only one-thir-
tieth OF this is held by the Rothschilds.
But such is the power Of that family
over the money market in Europe that
ordinary war clouds are dispersed by
Rothschild breath. When one bears in
mind that great national debts are but
about 100 years old the question natu-
rally occurs as to the time that can
elapse before the limit Of debt can be
reached.-S. +. Bulletin.

Poison fn Peaches.

Peaches as We know them are de-
licious fruit. In their native state,
however, they are rankly poisonous.
The original peach is an Arabian
fruit. Its pits contain cyanic acid, in
very small quantities, it is true, but
enough to kill a man.
Cyanic acid is most deadly poison.
A drop OF it on the tongue will produce
almost instant death, and even the
fumes will kill man. The acids and
all OF its salts have the characteristic
smell Of peaches.
Many children are in the habit oi
cracking the peach pits and eating the
meats. A few OF them will not pro-
duce any serious result, for cultivation
has done wonders with the originally
poisonous peach. But many a child
has lost its life from eating too freely
OF peach pits.

ALFALFA GROWERS.
OF Interest 90 Them-The Farmers
of Trnckee valley Menaced by q
pest worse Than ALI Others.

nj
pest worse Than All Others.
Gus Martin, one Of the most promi-
,sot farmers on the Truckee Meadows,
o.lled Of the Journal office few days
AGO and reported danger to the alfalfa
farms in the valley that is rapidly grow
inc and already has commenced to
tall on many Of the ranches. so that there
w.s a marked loss in last years crop in
various sections Of the valley.
The pest is commonly known as the
MEADOW mole, little animal two or
three times larger than an ordinary
mouse, and there are myriads OF them in
and around Glendale. Some idea can be
fcrmed Of how numerous they are, from
giving one instance Of Mr.. Martins ex-
ns,;sncs with them. He took a small
dog one morning short time ago, and in
The course Of couple Of hours. killed
462 moles on part Of his alfalfa land,
and hundreds escaped.
Mr.. Martin says they burrow quite
deep and attack the alfalfa roots where
they are tender, cutting them of entirely
and killing the plants. He says that as
soon IS they have destroyed one patch
tbey move to another, aud go from field
to field. Drowning them out has been
tried with some success, but they will
find higher ground or climb up into the
stalks of the alfalfa, until the water has
subsidized, and then renew the attack.
They breed remarkably fast and at the
rate OF from eight to ten at litter. ii
something is not done. and that soon. to
check or destroy them. they will, in his
opinion, at the rate OF increase OF the
last year or two, take the valley in
short time. He thinks that il is some
thing that should receive serious consid-
Grafton, and that no time should be lost,
as an attack on them now will save the
farmers Of the valley. particularly
around Glendale, thousands OF dollars.
He does not know OF any particular
method Of ridding the country Of the pest,
bat thinks that the Experiment Station
at the University should look into ID and
see il some plan cannot be recommended.
He suggests that q large number OF
them be caught alive and that they be
innoculsted with something that will
produce Q contagious disease. and then
turn them loose in different sections OF
the valley. = He believes this can be done
and that il would do more to rid the
valley Of them than any other method
that could be adopted.
He offers to furnish the live moles for
experiment, and considering the circum-
stances and the menace to the farmers.
the suggestion 10 worthy of consideration.
The Journal will be glad to publish any
article or information regarding the sub
jsct ct any time for the benefit OF ell par

mother and Child.

The mother should carry the key OF
her child's heart. No trust is as sacred /,
no JOY as sweet, as its confidence. She
should know what things are being
sown and planted in her child's mind ,
what grows and blossoms there every
day. Motherhood needs to be well
nigh omniscient. Young life runs so
many risks. The invisible seeds of
error blow everywhere, "spirits OF
darkness are ever on the wing"
Better lar that a mother lose any
hour than that in which her child
comes with the door OF it's heart open.
Let her cancel any engagement, forego
any pleasure rather than have that door
close against her, for child's conf
dence is a subtle, delicate thing. Let
it be unheeded, ignored, rejected but
once and il may be forever withdrawn.
The door may close and open not again,
though the foolish mother wait weep
ing there. God pity the children who
by cruel death or more cruel neglect
lose when most it is needed this ten
der maternal function and confidential
watch care.
