an appeal to some very simple but very

than obey a radical principle. and TO
dispute with him as to the limit he has
set for his line of artistic conduct is to
reproach a painter of frescoes because
he is not a painter of miniatures.

vERMONTERs HIT HARD.

The New England Loan and
Trust company, of Des Moines, Ia,
which went up the spout last week,
is said to have placed between
$4,000, 900 and $3,ooo,ooo of YER
mont money in mortgage loans
throughout the west. These loans
were given by the savings banks
throughout the state and by individ-
uals. Just how much the investors
in this state will suffer cannot be
told until an investigation is made
of the kinl of mortgages held.
1t is said that in the neighborhood
of $4,000 has been put in the west
through this institution from this
city alone, says the Montpelier Ar
gus. The failure of the concern
has caused great interest throughout
the state and everywhere in banking
circles there is evinced desire to
investigate what kind of mortgages
are being held. The general opln-
ion prevails that it is another of
those western plums which has
soured on the stomach of Vermont
investors.
One of the charges against the
company now is that the assets have
been doctorcd. One statement was
that the loans on real estate were
$5,27S,4II.4o and the real estate
owned $3So,ooo, while the real es-
tate controlled should have been
$4.ooo,ooo.
This may prove serious for Yer
mont investors when adjustment
comes.

FISH AND GAME.

The fourteenth biennial report of
the commissioners of;game and fish
cries Of Vermont tor the year end
ing June 80, 1898, has just been is
sued. John w. Titcomb of St.
bloomsbury, and Horace w. Bailey
of Newbary, the commissioners,
have been unt,ring in their efforts to
promote the fish and game interests
of the state and are conscientious
aud thoroughly able officials. The
result of their work is great i'm
petus given Vermont as summer
resort state, large numbers of visit
ors, having been attracted by the ex-
cellcnt fishing, although few years
ago the streams and ponds were
nearly depopulated of fish.
The number of brook trout fry
planted in 1897 was 1923, 900, the
total plant of all kinds being 1885,
400, number almost equal to any
two previous years. In 1898, 5S5-
900 trout fry were planted, the total
plant being 972,2oo There was
unusual mortality the latter year. a
like fact prevailing in other hatcher
les.
The present biennial appropria.
ton for the hatchery is $3.50
The output for the period, figured
at the prevailing market price for
the fry and fngerlings would be
$6,344. So it will be seen that the
hatchery is a paying institution.

Most doctors number among their
patients women who are suffering
from the effects of arsenic eating.
The arsenic is taken for the purpose
of attaining various results with re-
gard to personal appearance. The
gravest warming of the terrible
physical eff ects which must in time
ensue are altoG ether disreSarded by
these ladies. Physicians declare that
patients when cured will constantly
recur to this drug, mot so much
from craving for the drug the

The use of belladonna for the eyes
is, as every one knows, most calcu.

the sight. Thousands and thousands

painful and dangerous operation
upon tho eye itself, the object Of
which is to impart a graceful curve
to the eyelid The danger of the
operation consists in the possibility
of injury being done to the nerves
controlling the action of the lids,
causing partial paralysis.

Aguinaldo, the Philippine insur-
gent, is throwing the Monroe doc
trlne at the imperialists on this side
of the world. He said in speech
which is causing considerable COM
ment:
"Our friends the Americans came
tor the. purpose of demonstrating the
generosity and grandeur of their
government, and to assist in releas.
ing the people from slavery without
anncxing the islands, thus setting a
good example. We now understand
and appreciate the famous Monroe
doctrine of 'Amerlca for Ameri-
cans, and justice demands that they
add the Philippines for the Fihpi-
nos"
The inference is that America
will have to fight for the Philip
pines, supposing she wants more
than a coaling station-and fight

conquest, with its terrible cost, 1t
