Divided skirts.

No girl who has faced the wind in 8 divided bicycle skirt on frosty day will return to the old open. Tapping skirt that impedes her movements as it ehills her knees The divided skirt has the ''yeas" by great majority, and she will cast about to see how she can make the prettiest divided skirt she knows how. There are divided skirts and divided skirts, you know, and there is wide difference in kind
 A new bicycle costume is made of heavy Scotch cheviot in small, irregu- lar brown and tan check. The skirt Is a we'll hanging divided skirt, reaching to the shoe tops, with two broad box plaits at the back and front that are so full that one never suspects the dividing line at all.
 The jacket is short, snug garment. cut ill an irregular way at the front to show quite an expanse of the brown lin en blouse front. A broad white braid fellows the edge of the jacket, and st the back seam of the sleeve the braiding is quite elaborate.
 A dark brown suede belt and soft white berretta complete this outing toi- let. The black berretta is worn also. and on very cold days a chamois jacket is slipped on underneath the bicycle suit. New York Commercial.

THE DUDDERAR MADsToNEs

They Save Adams From an Awful Death
 Their Singular History.
 John Adams of Somerset, Ky, who was bitten by mad dog several days ago, WAS taken to Stanford to submit to the application of the famous Dudderar "madstones. They were applied to the wound and adhered the first time. Ad- ans, shortl.~ after he was bitten, at- tempted. with extraordinary nerve, to cauterize the wound, and, as he thought, thus burn out the poison. He used a eharred stick and severely burned his hand
 The Dudderar madstones are known throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. Mir Dudderar told the correspondent that they were brought to Kentucky from Missouri about 1842 by his father, Samuel. Dudderar, who said that the stones came from the maw of Rocky mountain goat. In the 50 years or more that they have been i'll the Dudderar family the stones have been applied to at least 1 1000 mad dog bites, and of all the patients only one has died, and in that case the wound was neglected for IS days after the biting. g.-Cinoinnati Enquirer.

 Within recent months so called in- vestment companies, with headquarters i'll New York, have established agencie ill Indiana, and alIuring circulars have been widely distributed promising in- vestors from f to 300 per cent returns on small investments.
 Notwithstanding the warnings by 10. cal banks and by the commercial agen. cies this sort of investment is taking like wildfire among the poorer class" s, and 1t is estimated that fully $250, O00 has been drawn out of this city within the past six months.
 One of the commercial agencies in. vestigated the financial status of one of these so called investment companies which operate, as they style it, on the "huctuating system, and found that, instead of $1, GOO, 900 capital stock, it had but so, ,000, and that all of it's business was done outside of New York.
 People have been found in Indianapo- lis who have taken the Christmas saw ings of their children to invest in this "co-operative speculation, and each day the fever is spreading. It is feared that when the collapse comes the result will be astrous. - Cincinnati En. quirer

 The peculiar religious society known as Dunkards, large numbers of whom have lived in northern Indiana for many years, are endeavoring to purchase the entire body of land comprised within Brown county, to which they will em. igrate and establish government ac- eording to their own peculiar notions.
 c. E. Everett of Fort Wayne is nego- tiating with many landowners in the county and has already purchased Al, ,000 acres, to which 100 families will move in a few days and form the nucleus of the new settlement. The county con- tains a great deal of valuable land and large quantities of building stone, ard as the Dunkards are an industrious peo- pie it is expected that the county will become in time the garden spot of h. diana
 MT. Everett thinks the sect will have no trouble in ultimately acquiring all the land ill the county and will put in- to practice their ideas of local govern ment The proprietors of the scheme say that neither jail nor courthouse wiil be needed, and that the election of local officers would be held only to comply with the law, as all property would be held in common. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

A Potato That lifted a Ton.

Charles w. Simmons, who lives 8 farm near Pleasant Home, brought in from his farm curiosity. He discov- cred it while digging potatoes. It con. sists of a Late Rose potato grown in the root of tree The potato vine seems tc have crept into the root, and the new potato then started down in the depths. It fourished in it's strange surroundings and developed into large and well formed potato. The room ill the root was too small for its expansion, and so the spud exerted not less than ton pressure on the root until the side was split open. The root is about 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches ill length. About all inch of the spud protrudes from one end. It is quite curiosity, and all who have seen it say they never saw anything like it before. Portland Oregonian.

When Mrs. Vanderbilt secured divorce and mar ried Oliver H. P Belmont, it was said that she would retain the Newport house. but since then she has changed her mind and the place is for sale. The traditions of Marble House are so close, ly associated with Vanderbilt family, and more especially with her first hus- band, that Mrs. Belmont. much as she would like to keep the big white palace, has concluded to sell

 Queen yictorIa's Gay Dress.
 The queen always had liking for gay colors, and lady who was present ed to her on her first visit to Deeside gives the following interesting account of the queens dress: Her majesty wore a bright blue silk dress, with a great number of founces of varying depths. each edged with narrow black velvet over not inconsiderable crinoline. Above this very brilliant garment she wore royal Stewart tartan shawl in all its rainbow colors, white chip bon. net trimmed with pink roses and blue ribbon bows. A white veil and pale lemon colored gloves completed what could hardly be called quiet costume. She carried in her hand small blue silk parasol, with thick silk fringe of the same shade and with white ivory handle and stalk. Woman

last evening in Representatives Hail, when
Rev. DIR. NJ. ID Kneeland OF Boston, secre-
tary of the New England Sabbath Pro-
tective League, spoke on " The Preserva-
ton TO Americans Of the Sabbath" Alter
pleasant introduction, DIR. Kneeland re-
ferred to the gift of a true Vermont girl he
received, twenty -one years ago.. who had
ever since been an inspiration to him Inc
speaker said he was glad to appeal to the
citizens of Vermont in behalf OF the SaO-
bath as a factor in American civilization
From patriotic standpoin he spoke of the
corner-stones on which the American Sab
bath rests. First, freedom, the best inner
itance that God ever gave to mankind, LID
erty, or freedom, lies at the foundation OF
national life and success In republic,
where every man is a freeman, IL IS abso-
lutely necessary that he be in touch with
the best things that come with the Ameri-
can Sabbath. The naxt cornerstone is law,
impossible to be separated from freedom.
Sunday laws are more essential to national
life than any other on the statute books.
The greatest good to the greatest number is
secured by the enforcement of Sunday laws.
The speaker referred to the Sunday laws of
Vermont as comparing very favorably with
those OF the other New England states, and
spoke of several impoI tant bills bearing
upon this point that will be introduced in
the next Massachusetts legislature. The
third cornerstone of the American Sabbath
is education. Sunday is the working-man's
college, in which he can open the books of
humanity and nature, and, from purely
economic standpoint, it would be disastrous
to allow the Lords Day to be made sim
ply day Of work, or of pleasure. The
idea that the open door of pleasure on Sun
day always leads to the open door of work.
was forcibly illustrated The last of the
four pedestals on which the Christian Sab
bath rests is morality. Let us hold, in the
name of morality, this Christian Sabbath,
and transmit it unimpaired to our children.
The Sabbath is Gods gift to weary human
ity. AT the close of DR.. Kneeand's elo-
quent address, OF which the above abstract
gives only faint idea, an opportunity was
given those who desired to join the League.

THE PROWLER.

THE PRowLER, having lived for years in
Massachusetts, realizes every fall that the
chief advantage which that state has over
Vermont lies in the abundant chestnut
trees which sprinkle her pastures and line
her forests. To wander forth with basket
and bag and wrestle all day with the spny
shell, returning at nightfall with mangled
fingers but exultant hearts, is pleasure we
may not know. But when January bowls
around the house, happy is the man who
can go to closet or garrett and help himself
from his store of winter-dried chestnuts.

THE PRowLER, sitting in solitude, pom
dering upon the inexplicable eagerness Of
many Montpelier citizens to have an annual
instead of a biennial legislative session, has
just found a key to the enigma. The Sc
cret lies in the revered institution known
as Ladies' Week" The gathering in
Montpelier, from all over the state, of the
exceedingly fair, and the comparatively
fair, and-others, appeals to some suscepti-
BILE souls as an arrangement which would
compensate for the annual presence in
Montpelier of the liege lords and masters of
the aforesaid.
The discussion which has lately arisen
anent the possible annexation of Mont
pelier's long and narrow sub lrb across the
river, together with that suburbs vigorous
protest against the proposition, suggests a
a rapacious -" whale and a reluctant " Jo-
nah" But have no fear, gentlemen of Ber-
lin, who tremble at the thought of the
Montpelier tax-rate. We will not send an
armed force, consisting of Policeman Wood
and the Montpelier Military Band, to annex
you by main strength.
NAY, morel We would bs glad to consider
a proposition to allow Jonah to swallow the
whale and form Greater Berlin " by the
annexation of Montpelier to that city. In
that case we could secure, as some OF our
citizens have already done, the benefit of
the Berlin tax-rates. The city post-office,
mayors office, and city court could be To-
Gated in the Nicholas block.
THOSE whose familiarity with the game
of football is confined to the long haired
pictures and the jokes in Puck and Judge
will be surprised to know that there are on
record several instances of players sur
viving an entire game and being able to eat
hearty meal within day or two. There
is, apparently, an impression abroad tn at
the exhibitions given, anciently in the Ro-
man Coliseum, and now on the football
"gridron," should be classed together.
The fact is, however, that good, game of
foot-b ball is an exhibition of speed, muscle
and science, so combined as to form a
worthy rival of baseball. The Prowler an
ticipates with pleasure the games this fall
in which the strong Seminary eleven"
will take part.
