The Young Anchors and the Young Fa-

games yesterday, and the Young Anchors
won, though only after they had enough
trouble to strongly impress their oppo-
nents with the fact that they had been in
a ball game. The Favorites started off
looking like ready money. The initial in
ming gave six runs, and it looked easy,
but the Anchors cut down their lead
slowly but surely. They did not make big
punches at a time. but the two and three
runs each inning did the required service.
The fielding on both side might be better,
but the batting was good. Score:-

"a home training for a girl is a thing
not to be despised,'' writes Edward Box.
in an article, "Shall Our Girls go to Col
lege?, in the August Ladies' Home
Journal "If that training is of the best
it is an exceedingly fine question to de-
eide whether it is not as good in its high
est and truest results as a college course.
That a home training is Infinitely better
for a great many of our girls than the
best training possible at a college admits.
I think, of very little, if any, dispute. I
say this, and emphasize the point, be-
cause some of our girls are prone to feel
that they are, In a measure, abused and
handicapped if they are not permitted by
their parents to go to college. I question
very much from our present conditions of
society whether the time has yet been
reached in the American life when one
can truthfully say that the majority Of
our girls can be safely sent away from
tho home anchorage at a time in their
lives when they are most impressionable.

More than the hunger after bread,
more than the frenzy of love or hatred,
the poison-hunger overpOwers every
other instinct, and even the fear of
death In Mexico, the surgeon of the
Second Zouaves was one night awak-
ened by the growing of his spaniel,
and thought he saw a man crawling
out of his tent. The next day the cap
tain informed the company that some
fellow had entered the hospital camp
With burglariOus intent, and that he
had instructed the sentries to arrest
or shoot all nocturnal trespassers.
About a week after the doctor was
again awakened by his dog, and light
ing a match he distinguished the figure
of large man crawling from under
his table and carrying a large book.
He called for him to stop, cooking his
pistol at the same time but the fellow
made rush for the door, and in the
same moment was floored by a ball
that penetrated his skull. He lived
long enough to confess his desperate
enterprise. His regiment had been
stationed at Algiers. where he learned
to smoke opium. and having exhaust
ed his supply and HIS financial re-
sources he felt that life was no long
err worth living, and resolved to risk
it in the attempt at abducting the
doctors medicine chest.

WAERE DUB WsALTH LIES.

"There are two hundred thousand
visitors to Maine and New Hampshire
every summer" said a Maine man, land
they leave $40 each or more. We secure
$1,000, 900 Il year from them. Taking
care of these people is the largest in
dustry in Maine at the present time. 1t
pays better than farming or numbering,
or mining or fishing. And yet it is in
its infancy The business has grown so
rapidly that we have NOT been able to
build suitable hotels. In a few years
the palaces of the world will be in our
state"
What /, true Of Maine and New lamp
shire is also true of Vermont, in so far
as the profits of entertaining summer
visitors is concerned. Names chief ar
traction is her seacoast, and she has
the advantage of salt water; but there
the advantage ends. Our Incompatible
Lake Champlain coast and Green mount
ain scenery, our health-giving spruce
and hemlock forests and equable climatic
conditions during the summer months
all stand as the peer of any in the land.
We have ali and more of the charms of
New Hampshire, but-we haven't adj
vertised them. There's the rub. We
must bring our claims to the summer
resorters attention in season and out, if
we would have our rightful share of this
business.
Perhaps no other business is so wide
spread in its benefits as this. a large pro-
portion of the producers in the state share
in the business, directly or indirectly.
The entertainment of the summer guest
is much more profitable while il lasts
than like accession to the permanent
population would be; and we all know
the value of the latter.
Middebury possesses in a great de-
gree the attractions of which we have
written, and the large number of sum
mer visitors who annually make this
village their objective point attests to its
popularity. There is room for more.
While we are talking of the establish
ment of industrial enterprises in our
community, we should not overlook the
fact that our strongest pull is the
summer resort business.

The old English recipe, How to cook
a rabbit started off by saying, First
catch the rabbit" So, in the sacrifice
of the dogs, the first and most difficult
thing was to secure pair of white
dogs. In order to make the rite eff
fective it was considered necessary
that the dogs be perfectly white, with
out dark hair on their bodies and
the Indians would go almost any
length to secure such animals. The
dogs were treated with especial care,
and made as sleek and fat as possible
before the sacrifice. 1t was regarded
as a great honor to be appointed to
care for these sacred beasts.
At the appointed time the braves and
their families gather at the council
house. The variety of bright colors in
the dress of both men and women
makes the assembly look like a piece
of brilliant tapestry. Everybody is
smiling and happy.
First comes the dance. The crowd
gathers in silent rows about the long
hall, while the musicians occupy an
open space in the centre. A dried deer
skin is tightly stretched between up
right posts This is the drum, which
is operated on by the chief musician.
His assistants have horns partly filled
with shot, or gourds containing beans,
which they rattle in time with the
drummer. The Emusic" that they
make would ruin a white mans nerves
in short order, but it seems to fill the
Indians with the same sort of joy that
a boy derives from frecrackers and tor
pedoes AS soon as the musicians
strike up the eldest chief of the tribe
rises and begins shutting about the
floor in time to the rafting gourds and
booming drum. The others follow in
the order of their rank, with the wO-
men at a respectful distance. AS the
dance goes on the time quickens, until
presently a circle of leaping, shouting
savages is whirling about the room, eX-
ecuting the most grotesque and violent
figures With short intermissions the
dance is kept up till almost morning,
when the dancers retire to prepare for
the final ceremony.
Just as the sun comes peeping over
the tree tops the braves alone gather
for the sacrifice. The two dogs are
dangling by their heels from a rude
wooden cross, and they have been care
fully strapgled, so that not hair of
their smooth white bodies is rutiled.
About their legs and necks are .tied
bright ribbons, and their breasts are
covered with gayly covered blankets.
heap of brushwood has been
gathered, and the elder of the tribe
now proceeds to light it, always using
the spark from flint. for only virgin
fire can be used for this solemn rite.
AS the pile blazes up two young braves
spring forward, and, taking down the
bodies of the dogs, bear them to the
elder, who places them on The fire, at
the same time calling on the Great
Spirit to observe him. AS the blaze
rises higher the elder or chief priest
as he might be called, throws handfuls
Of dried odorous herbs upon the pile,
at the same time pronouncing an ora
ton to the Great Spirit for the beneht
Of his friends who are gathered about.
This Grafton he keeps up until the fire
has burned itself out and the victims
are entirely consumed.

A great many toys are now made in
this country, including many mechan-
zeal devices. Many toys are still inn
ported. Such things as woody sheep
and dogs, now as highly priced by chill
dren as ever, come from Germany. as
do the skin-covered horses. They
could be made here, but they can be
produced cheaper abroad.
As a rule. whatever can be made by
machinery is made here While joys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute a thing is brought within
the reach of machinery, American
manufacturers can pay their higher
prices for labor and still beat the
world. With the low prices of labor ll
foreign countries handmade produce
tons can be made cheaper ian them. AS
result of this there are toys OF some
kinds which i'm their completed state
are partly American and partly foreign.
Among these are toy vehicles with
horses attached. The vehicles and ev-
erything i'm and about them may be
the product of American machinery,
while the horse standing between the
shafts may be from Germany.

OHIO POLITICS.

The whole country is being interested
in very remarkable exhibition Of reyo-
Iutionary politics in Ohio. This is all
the more remarkable that it is taking
place i'm the Republican party, at time
when the national administration is not
only Republican, but has for chief
member of the party from Ohio. In
spite of this fact, which ordinarily would
of itself be controlling of harmony, the
party Is rent in two by schism so sharp
and decisive that it is impossible to see
how it will ever again come together.
1t is recognized at Washington that the
bottom of this is protest against boss
ism, and particularly that kind Of
bossism which depends for It's force
largely if not entirely in the use or
possession of money. However much
or however little of personality there
may be mixed up In the matter, it is this
condition that makes such a volcanic
outbreak possible. Mr.. Hanna, a great
representative of the monied interest,
and depending upon the forces that
grow out of the possession and control
of great wealth. has assumed to manage
the party in Ohio, turning down such as
were not subservient and elevatng
those who would be entirely so to his
wishes or orders. Thus during the last
campaign he turned down Mr.. kurtz,
who was chairman Of the Republican
state committee and in sympathy with
Senator Foraker. 1t has proven to be a
very bad turn down, as apparently
Kurtz has got enough vinegar in him to
make a very large amount of trouble.
Mr.. Bushnell, the Republican governor
Just chosen for a term of four years, is
also in a state of eruption of the most
vivid character. Mr.. McKisson, a Re-
publican mayor of Cleveland, and said to
be very strong with the labor element,
casts a lurld light upon the scene. In
deed the whole atmosphere is filled with
pyrOtechnic display, whilst at Washing
ton Senator Foraker is calmly consider
ing the peculiar conditions.
At the present moment the anti-Hanna
crowd, together with the democrats,
have captured and organized both houses
of the legislature, with a margin APP
