the cruiser Columbia, anchored off
Old Point Comfort. The crews of all
the vessels have been working by
electric light in stripping the ships of
woodwork and clearing for action.
The Minneapolis has arrived and
will join the squadron outside the
capes. Preparations are under way
with the squadron at this hour for
some grave emergency. There is no
doubt but that the commander is

LETTER TO MIR. G. T.. CLARKE,
Island Pond, VT.

Dear Sir: Every property owner in
Island Pond will be interested in the fol-
lowing from the February issue of the
Painters Magazine:
The finer the pigment is ground the
more oil will it take up. This is one rea-
son why finely ground paint will give
better service than when the pigment is
coarse. Another point in this connection
is that the particles lie closer together,
making more of a compact mass to
withstand the elements"
The Painters Magazine states what
has been known by Chemists and Paint
Manufacturers for years, viz: The finer
the paint is ground the more oil will it
take up and the longer will it wear"
That is why pure paint ground by
powerful machinery will wear so much
longer than lead and oil mixed by hand
F. W. Devoe s. Co.'S Pure Lead and
Zinc Paint is LIST, ground in powerful
grinding mills; I'd, mixed in powerful
mixers; Sd, re-sround; 4th, re-mixed.
Imagine, if you can, the difference in the
fineness of paint twice ground and
twice mixed and one simply mixed in a
paint tub with stick.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE &. Co.

The new issue of Golfers Weekly has
spirited double-page picture, by Gilbert
Gaul, symbolical of the present Rally
Round the flag" Many American types
are portrayed-the farmer, the mechanic
the merchant and his clerk, Northwestern
cowboys, Southern planters, miners from
the mountains, fishermen from the sea-
shore, lumbermen from the forests
whites and blacks, rich and poor and
conspicuous among them the veteran
wearers of the blue and gray. 1t is a
picture that indicates the final and en-
tire obliteration of sectional liEes. There
is page of pictures of San Juan, Porto
Rico, to which city Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet paid its respects last week, and also
full-page drawing Of the bombardment.
A tull.page map, from official sources, of
Manila and its approaches accompanies
a careful description of Admiral Dewey's
fight by w. Nephew King (who has been
recalled to the naval servicel. Even the
fiction of the number is a war-story,
with four illustrations by Wenzell, and
all the editorial matter is on subjects
suggested BY the conflict.

General superintendent Michigan, su-
perintendent Cotter and other Grand
Trunk officials were here last Monday
night and passed the evening making a
thorough examination of the railroad
yard in order to increase it's car capacity.
Various plans are under consideration,
one involving the leveling Of the sand
bank at the rear of the engine house, the
highway running alongside the bank to
be utilized by the company, and new
highway put in its place running through
where John Linehan's house stands. The
coming season will doubtless witness
many changes and improvements made
by the company, premature to discuss
now, but all to benefit Island Pond, and
let us all therefore aid and encourage the
company in every possible way.

The Right Rev. DR.. Hall, Bishop of
Vermont visited Christ Church last week
Wednesday, conducting evening service
and administering the Sacrament OF
Baptism. \ large congregation greeted
him and listened keenly and reverentIy to
a most eloquent discourse on the subject
of the Ascension. He also celebrated the
Holy Communion early Thursday morn
ing, Ascension Day. His visit was much
enjoyed by the embers of this Church
and was very helpful and encouraging to
them. There is no doubt but that the
vacancy in this parish will shortly be
supplied. The Bishop left for Newport
on Thursday morning.

MEnORIALaDAY. 1898.

BY .. s. RICE, SCOTS, N. II.
There are tears upon the petals
Of the flowers we bring TODAY;
And silence in our households
For the dear ones far away,
Side by side, the blue and gray.
Gathering for the battles fray.
There is sorrow; there is darkness;
And our only guiding light
Is the spirit that awakes us,
Freemen. to the coming fight
The old spirit of our fathers
Ever strong for truth and right
We have thought in peaceful spirit,
As the flowery years went by,
And we decked the graves of heroes,
That no more the battles cry
Could be heard where men so proudly,
Saw our banner in the sky.
Now a shadow, treacherous,.C ruel,
As the dungeon ergave,
Came up against our sunlight
Rusted armor from its grave;
y We have met the naughty phantom
Wars first blood has touched the wave.
Bring the flowers-springs fairest purest, :
LET not love one token miss;
Lay them where thy dead are sleeping,
They are asking only this;
PRAYERS and gifts are for the soldiers,
Now called by the bullets hiss.
