GRANT AT WEST POINT.
A Good Record as Student and Higi
Record as a Man.

A Good Record as a Student and High
Record as a Man.
He was brevetted second lieutenant of
the Fourth infantry and ordered to re-
port to his command at jefferson bar
racks, ST. Louis, after short vacation
The entire army of the United States
at that time numbered less than 8, 600
men, and the supply of officers was EN-
barrassingly large. 1t was the custom,
therefore, to brevet graduates second
lieutenant.
He graduated twenty first in roll of
80, with a fair record in all things-a
good record in mathematics and engin-
eering and remarkable record as horse
man.
More than 100 had entered with him,
but one by one they had dropped out till
only 80 remained.
Apparently Grant remained markedly
unmilitary throughout the four years
course He served as private through
out the first two years. During the third
year he was made sergeant but was
dropped promotions at that time were
made for soldierly qualities and had no
exact relation to excellence in studies),
and during the fourth year he served
again as private.
The first year he took up French and
mathematics, and though the course
was severe, including algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, application of algebra to
geometry, etc, he stood fifteenth in a
class of 60 in mathematics and forty
ninth in French and twenty-seventh in
order of general merit. The second year
he climbed three points i'll general merit
and stood twenty in class of
53. He stood tenth in mathematics,
twentythird i'll drawing, but was be-
low the middle in ethics and French.
In his third year he rose in his drawing
to 10, and was twenty second in chem
istry and fifteenth i'll philosophy, which
was "A very good standing indeed. He
rose to 90 in general merit, 16 in en-
gineering, II i'll mineralogy and geology,
but was a little below the average in
ethics, artillery and infantry practice.
In general, it may be said that he left
the academy with a good average record
as a student and a very high record as u
man.-Hamlin Garland i'll McClure's.

TESTING A WATCH.
How English Timepieces Are Tried ~ to
Their Regularity.


Their Regularity.
There has been matchmaking at Gov
entry as long as there has been watch
trade in England, which is for the last
200 years or thereabout. There used to
be three centers of the English trade,
these being Liverpool, Coventry and
London. Now there are practically but
two-Coventry and Birmingham. The
test of good watch is that it should
obtain a Kew certificate, and of the
watches that go to Kew IS per cent are
from Coventry.
At Kew no watch has yet succeeded
in getting the 100 marks which signify
perfection, but Coventry has come near
est, with 90. and is always well to the
front. The Kew test is no light one.
The watch is tested in every position
and its rate registered, not only per day,
but per hour. 1t is hung by its pendant,
hung upside down, hung on each side,
placed dial down and back down and at
any number of angles, and to finish up
with is baked in an oven and frozen in
an ice pail. No wonder that watch
with Kew certificate is comfort to
its owner.
When it is considered that it makes
$4,000 vibrations an hour and must not
vary second a week, while quarter
turn of its two time screws, meaning
the millionth of an inch, will make a
difference of 20 seconds day, the deli
cacy of its adjustment will be appreci-
ated, as will also the risk of intrusting
its repair to any but skillful hands -

Set Out Trees In the Spring.

Spring is better time to set trees
than fall, because at that season trees are
beginning to grow and will, therefore,
be in a condition to respond more readi-
ly to treatment, while in fall they are
unlikely to establish themselves before
cold weather sets in. Preserve the roots
to the fullest possible extent and do not
disturb the tree until after it has ripen-
ed and has shed its foliage. If the roots
are cut away, as they almost invariably
are i'll spring planting, be sure to cut
back the top proportionately.- Eben Z.

A CLERGYMAN'S VIEWS.
On One of the Vexed Questions
of The Day.

The greatest free thinker amongst our
readers would doubtless dispute some of the
pulpit utterances of the Rev. Geo. A. Wiki
ms, Of West Lebanon, N H., the village
just across the river from White River Juno
ton, VT. but the greatest follower of the re-
doubtable Ingersoll will go back on his
champions teachings if he doubts the evil
dence of his senses or refuses to believe
what the most superficial investigation will
prove to be true. If the Rev. Gentleman
lived on the Pacific Slope and his views or
opinions on the subject under discussion
were published in the States of Vermont and
New Hampshire, there would be room for
argument. But as he lives in the State of
Vermont, is well known on both sides of the
boundary line, and has ministered to great
many congregations, skepticism is not allow
able. From exposure and overwork," he
says "while in my last clerical charge ex-
perienced considerable trouble from an af-
fiction of the kidneys. Having made use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills I found great relief from
them" You can't spin a long yarn
about backache.. You have it, it hurts and
you wish to get rid of it. What will drive it
away is worth more to the reader than a
column and half of symptoms. Can you
ask for more convincing proof than the Rev.

Brewster Trial Again Postponed.

Mildred Brewster was arraigned in
county court Friday morning, and the
indictment of the murder of Anna Wheeler
read to her by the clerk of the court.
When called upon to answer the charge
made against her, she answered in low
but firc1 tone of voice, mot guilty"
County court convened at Montpelier at
2 O'Clock Monday afternoon TO begin the
trial of Mildred Brewster. AS soon as
court had assembled w. A. Lord, acting
for the defense, moved that the indict-
ment be set aside, on the ground that it
was improperly found, because a ste
nographer was in the grand jury room
while the government witness were tes-
tiiving. The court ruled that the su-
preme court would have to settle that
question and the case was continued till
the March term of county court to allow
the question OF the propriety of the in
dictment to be argued before the supreme
court in January. If the supreme court
rules that the Indictment is valid the case
will go before he county court in March.
1t the court rules otherwise it will have
to go bt fore the grand jury again.
