Spirit Of the Dress.
III
HOME sim


The experience of the past quarter Of
a century ought to be conclusive proof
that home investments pay the best il
the long run and settle the question thai
Vermont offers at least equal attractions
to prudent, careful investors. Whether
as individuals or corporations, those
who have confined their investments ex-
clusively to Vermont have almost in.
varlably %prOspered. True, the rate of
interest has not been so large in most
cases as that derived from western OF
southern investments, but when the
periods of business depression passed
over the country the principal was not
swept away, except in a very few cases
here, while the reverse was true In a
majority of cases elsewhere.
Look at the record of savings banks
and trust companies in this state that
have adhered closely to the motto SAL
in Vermont"
Every one has %prospered beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its incor-
poratOrs. The reverse is true of the
banks and trust companies of our sister
state New Hampshire, where these insti-
buttons were tempted by high interest to
place the most Of their loans in the west,
as they were allowed to dc by the lenient
laws of that state. There is hardly one
of these institutions that has survived
the long period of financial depression
and disaster in the west.
What Is true of these financial institu-
lions is more true of the individual In
weston, as the latter did not use the same
knowledge and care in placing their
money and were in too many cases de-
ceived by a smooth tongued agent and
made to believe that a wildcat scheme
was a safe Investment. There are few
towns in the state that have not lost
much hard earned money and that
nave not many mourners. On the other
hand men who invested their money in
legitimate local enterprises in scores of
small towns in Vermont have been
uniformly successful. Where is the
man who invested his money judiciously
In real estate in any of these places ten
years ago that has not made money and
is satisfied with his investment?
The field for home investments is
larger and better today than at any time
in the past twenty-five years. Water
powers that then could not be used to
advantage may now be developed and
the power transmitted by electricity to

PROTECTING OUR F,sHER,es.

W. ~ w OOh '
The work of the commissioners of fish
cries and game for Vermont for the past
two years is clearly and Complementary
shown in the fourteenth biennial report
to the legislature. The work at the
hatchery at RoXbury has been in imme-
diate charge of Commissioner Bailey and
the output of fish during the past bien-
NAL term has been larger thar during
any previous term. In addition to the
regular work of rearing and planting
fish, a barn has been built 2Sx30 with a
lean-to on each side. A new entrance to
the hatchery grounds with bell and tower
and stone walk has been constructed, al
so a stone bridge and gravel driveway to
the grounds. A bank wall by the large
pond near the cottage house 100 feet lon
has been laid n the cottage ground
graded and improved. A gasolene motor
with fixtures and cutters for grinding
e used for fish food has been provid-
ed. An addition of 30 feet has been
made to the hatchery, containing 20
trOughs, being used mainly for rearing
and spreading out the fish as soon as the
sac is absorbed. The hatchery as it now
stands is So feet long by 2S feet wide and
contains A troughs u feet long by II
inches wide, the capacity of the hatchery
being about one million fed fry, that
have been fed from one to three months
before planting. Water rights, and
change of course of brook supplying the
hatchery, have been purchased of, and
changed, on the land of Messrs. Kennedy
and Bean.
MIR. Bailey asks: Does the fish
hatchery pay - and answer his question
as follows:
our present biennial appropriations is
5000. The output of fry for the same period
Is 2'2SS,OOO; the output of ingerlings, $4,000.
The fry at - per NJ. and flngerlings at $50 per
NJ, which is the market price during this
period, w"uld aInountto 1894. 1t is therefore
a matter of demonstration that the hatchery
has not only been self supporting during the
present biennial period, but has paid for all
additions ana improvements, with n balance
in favor of the hatchery.
The tables printed in the report show
that the total lumber of fish of all kinds
and sizes planted from the hatchery dur
the biennial term was 2,347, 800. How
far this large number of fry will 90 to-
ward replenishlng our streams and max
ing Vermont an attractive place for
sportsmen it is now impossible to tell.
1t can be told to a certainty. however.
that the work is of undoubted value and
the state will reap full benefit from it
sometime.
COMMISSIONS Titcomb makes a report
on the waters stocked and closed by the
state trout laws, seine license and seine
fishing. He shows that the seine fishing
in Lake Champlain in 1898 produced a
net profit to the fishermen of $4,000, while
the catching of these fish caused the loss
of about a billion of eggs 1t is for the
people of the state to say whether the
of a net income of $4,000 to 30
citizens of two counties will pay for the
loss of so many prospective fish and the
of the summer boarder busir ess
along the shores of the lake. According
TO MIR. Titcomb, the latter result has al
ready begun to be felt. and he properly
asks "What is to become of the future of

hours a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys ;
If it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
victing proof that the kidneys and

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-koot, the great kidney remedy,
fulhlls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, Kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passages.
1t cOrrects inability to hold water and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and OvercOmes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to 90 often during
the day, aud to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you SHOULD have the best. At druggists,
fifty cents or n dollar.

EDUCATED BY J0VF. /"

At Il leading New England college
some years ago, when the commence
ment exercises were over and the diplo
mas had been distributed, says ID. s
Sanford in the June Atlantic, a member
Of the graduating class, who had been
more distinguished by conviviality than
studiousness, and who had barely
escaped losing his degree, appeared upon
the campus, and waving the much-prized
parchment over his head, shouted glee
fully, Educated, by Jove! Educated.
The idea expressed by the rollicking stu
dent, more in jest than in earnest Illus
trates Il notion of education which dies
hard. The popular prejudice that culture
is something extracted from books, pick
ed up in lecture-hal or n laboratory,
or seized during the feeting years Of
ones school Or college life, is so prevail
ent that it becomes the obvious duty OF
the school to press home to the con
sciousness of every person the conviction
that an obligation rests upon him TO I'M
dertake a course Of education lasting
throughout his life.

made it possible for the Democrats to
consistently meet them half way. If
the State convention adopts its owl,
platform and proposes that all the
forces favorable to the white man, the
white metal and good government unite
in a joint ticket, there will be an over
whelming victory for the white man and
the white metal in this year of grace.
1t will be such a result as we witnessed
in 1890 when the opposition fell to
pieces before the day of the election. In
saying this, we do not mean to imply
that all the Populists would support the
joint ticket The Harry Skinner and
Ohio Wilson portion of the party are
already Republicans in everything ex-

THE SAD MEANING OF WAR.


The terrible railroad accident near Sa-
vannah. that resulted in the death of
Private Barbee, and the mortal injury
Of Private Colclough, both of the Dur

the true meaning of war. The dead
young man was noble and true-hearted
soldier the son Of aged and devoted par
ents. whose hearts are almost broken by
ton except such as comes from the feel
ing that their brave son was At the
post of duty, going to uphold the honor
Of his country and defend its flag. In

the recollection of his nobility win lessen

aged mother. who has been seriously i'll,
will receive the prayers of all her man

The prayers of the whole State will
