BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes. this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consul, ed physl-
clan and tried his medicine, a ID III week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more anot her scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hooa's
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. s. WRoTEN, Farming

Arbor Day Proclamation.

To encourage a respected public Gus.
tom, do appoint Friday, the Goth day
of April next, Arbor Day. Let the day
be borne in mind, not forgetting to con-
tribute something to the beautiful of our
state. Many locality already testifies
to the desirabiity of Arbor Day observ-
ance, which so acceptably engages our
better thoughts and more deeply inter-
ests in the study OF nature.
Let then every one in the common
wealth consecrate this day to memory
by planting with conscientious care a
tree or shrub, in some suitable place
which in the course CT time will be more
beautiful for it's presence. More partlcu-
larly may colleges and schools give the
day such attention as will render it
present pleasure and future value.
Art, song, and science dwell among
the trees, the hills, and the mountains;
and let our students employ the day in
identifying their natural home.
Given under my hand and the State
seal in the executive chamber at Derby,
this 10th day OF April, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-eight, and of the independence OF
the United States the one hundred and
twenty second, and Of the independence
of this state the one hundred and twenty-
first. JOSIAH CIRCUIT.

For Anglo Saxon Union.

The London Daily Mail has just
printed poem under the caption of "a
Voice from the West. !" by Alfred Austin, the
poet laureate, which is based on the idea
of sympathy and cooperation between
Great Britain and the United States. The
poem follows:-
"What Is the voice hear
On the wind OF the Western sea
Sentinel listen from out Cape Clear,
And say what the voice may be.
IT'S q proud, free people calling loud
To people proud and free.
"And 1t says to them. Kinsmen. hail,
We severed have been too long;
Now let us have done with wornout tale,
A tale OF an ancient wrong.
And our friendship last long as love dothlast
And be stronger than death Is strong.
ANSWER them sons Of the selfsame race,
And blood Of the seltsame clan,
Let us speak with each other face to face.
And answer as man to Llan,
And Loyalty love and trust each other
As none but free men can.
"Now fling them out to the breeze
Shamrock thistle and rose,
And the star-spanged banner unfurl with
these
A message to friends and foes,
Wherever the sails Of peace are seen
And wherever the war wind blows.
"a message to bond and thrall to wake,
For wherever we come. we twain,
The throne OF the tyrant shall rock and
quake,
And his menace be void and vain,
For you are lords of strong, young land,
And we are lords OF the main"

Special Legislation Possible.

The calling of a special session Of the
legislature to provide means, should it
be necessary to move the state troops,
has been a matter of consideration by
the executive and among the state
officers.
Sergeant-at-Arms T; c. Phinney has
had the state house put in readiness so
that it would be prepared should the
proclamation be issued.
One of the principal reasons for not de-
string to call special session is the large
expense. State Auditor F. D. Hale states
that there is money enough obtainable,
but not sufficient amount at the dis
posal Of the military department. In
case OF hostilities it has been suggested
that sufficient amount of money be
made available for military purposes,
and when the legislature convenes next
fall that amount could be appropriated.
In case Vermont troops are ordered
out it is likely that they will be sent to
man some oil the coast defenses.
