QUEER LACK or VISION.

The members Of the Vermont house
of representatives are strangely blind
to some things. A slick little bill which
had been passed by the State senate
and favorably reported by the house
military committee was unanimously
killed" in the house of representatives
This measure provided that between
the first day of March and the 18th day
of October the comnander-in-ch of
the National Guard should direct a
parade of that body for drill, ETC.,
which parade should continue not less
than three nor more than eight days,
and be directed in army manoeuvres by
tine commander chief 1t was eX-
pected that the bill would go through
the house without discussion, but when
it became necessary to explain why
there should be a three days en-
campment of the State militia as early
as March /, when the snow is six feet
deep on the State camp ground there
was discussion, and the true inward
ness of the bill was revealed. Its OBJ
ject was to enable the Vermont State
troops to attend the Mckinley inaug-
uration at public expense.
What were those legislators thinking
about? Couldn't they see that 1t would
be an honor to their State for the mill
tia to so to Washington, have a good
time and exhibit themselves? Rather
than not have this honor the people of
the State win do well to contribute
enough to have 1t. There Is naught
| that sheds as much glory on a State
as a large body of it's militia parading
at somebody else's expense in another
State.

THIS COUNTRY TEACHES THEM

THIS COUNTRY TEACHES THEM.
Ii Hung Chang carried home from
this country some ideas which will be
useful in China, and it is said that
of Ways Of Communication, learned
much while he was here. He had no
his way home from America, having
promised the Gear to be in st. Peters,
burg before his return from his round
of European visits. He arrived in St.
Petersburg just in time to meet the
Emperor at the Gatchina station. A
correspondent of the London Times
says that 1t is too soon yet to try to
guess at the possible results of the
Princes visit to America, but that
hints have been made already as to its
possible connection with the construc-
ton of the Siberian railroad through
Manchuria. He then goes on to point
out InaL the alIeullOu WHICH the Amer
leans are giving to the worlds compe-
tition outside their own country al
ready extends to Russia, and that
American business in that country
promises to increase as well as that of
the French and Belgians. American
locomotives are being imported Amer
leans are building locomotive works On
the Volga and manufacturing pipe lines
for naphtha in the south, and for the
first time armor plates are being made
in the United States for the Russian
Admiralty. The correspondent believes

guish in their pictures the rising from
the setting of the sun. Their designs
will or should show distinctly the at
mospherlc conditions which do differ
greatly in the morning and evening
colorlng.
The misty haze overhanging the trees
in the early part of the day disappears
before high noon, and the forest scene-
ry is in brilliant rudy glow toward
evening
The rudy light of evening differs in
height and shadows. The numberless
white clouds circulating above the for
ests at mid-afternoon show clearly
that trees attract the elements of the
air, and form a chemical action with
earth and air frightened by the num-
berless rays floating downward
through the atmosphere, are absorbed
by the foliage of the trees, are inves-
sanity reverberated in all directions.
Every life and vine seems to breathe In
yitalizing powers from oxygen, nitro
gen and carbon which combine In
new splendor for the trees all through
the progress of the descending sun.
Nature is always in perfect harmony
with the atmosphere.
The incidental beauty Of the land
scape when the sun has reached the
meridian is exhibited at its best in lux
uriant beauty of ooloring. Flowers are
always darker in color at high-noon
when all things in nature are at their
best. Tho perpendicular rays of the
sun illuminate all vegetable produc-.
tons with a glow which does not APP
pear at early morning.
The old masters rarely represented
the objects iii their pictures of the
grand old forests. The grouping and
tufting of the trees and the deep, cool
recesses of the wilderness can be per-

A whimslcal use Of Ginghnns.

Checked ginghams on cloth, or even
on silk, gowns is such an odd notion
that the average dressmaker is afraid
of it, and so it remains with a cachet
OF perfection as characteristic OF
some of the prettiest imported dresses
as a triumph on many a deity planned
made at home rig. Green and white

railroads which would be useful and in

cause they make flesh, build muscle,
sinew and tissue. They are also, as
has been said, the basis of blood, bone,
brain and nerves. They can also be
transformed into fat, and for this rea-
son are more essential nutrients than
fats and carbohydrates which go di-
rect1y into the fat of the body, and only
that, and cannot be changed into pro-
tein substance to make flesh, etc. This
is because the fats and carbohydrates
do not contain nitrogen which is found
in the protein compounds.
A way has been devised for esti1nat-
ing the fuel value of nutrients. The
unit is called ca1orie and is the a.
mount of heat that will raise the tenn
perature of one pound of water about
four degrees Fahrenheit. A gram
(463.6 grams make make one pound
avoirdupois) of protein or a gram of
carbohydrates contains on the average
4.1calories, and a gram of fats SO cal
cries. A pound of rather fat sir1oin
beef contains about 800 Galleries, a
pound of butter $500, pound of wheat
flour about 1000, and a pound of po-
tatoes about $40 Galleries. The potatoes
yield so little, because they are three
quarters water.

All this strikes many women as mere
" a senseless fad, and though such
tricks are now resorted to by very care
full dressers, it Is not hard to believe
that the fancy will not live long. Chit
fon is a standby of adornment, and is
now as stylish as 1t ever was. 1T has
the advantage, too, of being sure to
outlast in stylishness the gown it is
placed upon. 1T Is a pretty example
of it's use that the artist sketches to-
day; theater dress made of pale green
satin. IT'S skirt was plain and its
blouse waist had a white chiffon front.
The gown was enriched by a bolero OF
white chiffon dotted with embroidery
and having embroidered edges that
turned over on white satin bands. The
high belt was folded satin with a big
jewelled buckle in front, the fitted

and had draperies of white chiffon in
stead of puffs. 1t need hardly be point
ed out that these sleeves make almost
as trying display of the shape of the
arm as would sleeves without any
drapery at the shoulders.

A case Just decided at Portland, Ore
gon, is interesting to doctors, patients
and others. One of the contentious in
the case was that the size OF a doc

the patients ability to pay, and an
other that the patients death or re-
covery after an operation does not de-
termine whether the operation was a
success or a failure. In this instance,

 There was a nine miles, march through driving snow and sleet after the landing before Trent0 could be reached, the point of attack, and two men were frozen to death as they went General Sullivan sent word that the guns were wet. "Tell him to use the bayonet," said Washing ton, flor the town must be taken" And 1t was taken-in the early morning, at
 the point of the bayonet with loss of
 but two or three men. The surprise was
 complete. Colonel Rahl, the commander of the place, was mortally wounded at
