SIMPLE RULES FOR CHILDREN

IL has been noticed that as a rule
children are not as we'll trained as
they should be, and writer makes
these suggestions for elementary in
structions:
Drink from the cup, never from
the saucer.
Teaspoons arc left in the saucer,
not in the cup.
Making noise, either in eating or
drinking is vulgar.
Little children only have the napkin
arranged as a bib.
Always cheerfully defer to older
people and to guests.
Eat slowly and do not fill the mouth
with large quantities.
Eat the food served, or quietly leave
it on the plate without remark.
Avoid drumming with the fingers or
feet; it is the height of impoliteness.
If in doubt at any time as to what is
proper, follow the example of more
experience.

TIE VERMONT MUTUAL.

| The last annual report of the YER
mont mutual Fire Insurance Company
| shows that the number of losses for
the year ending July 81 was 725, an
increase compared with the previous
year, due in some large measure to
unusual destruction of property by
lightning The amount of money paid
out for losses in 1899 was $191. 079. II, ,
as against $63, 941. 58 in 1898. Neverthe-
less the assessment on the policy
for the business year of 1899 is only
four per cent, the same as for 1898 and
many years preceding, a circumstance
due to the wise policy of the manage
ment in creating a surplus to serve as
an evener in the matter of assess
ments. The company takes SIG, 1885
from it's accumulated surplus of $780,
902 10, represen ting about three Fights
of one per cent of the premium notes,
which, with the customary four per
cent assessment, pays all reported
losses and expenses for the year just
ended. It is matter Of interest and
Importance to the insured TO know,
with reasonable certainty, what their
assessment will be from year to year.
The Mutual is pursuing a policy that
renders this-or the size of the maxi
mum assessment within reasonable
limits matter of quite specific infor-
nation, and this is important and
valuable to the insured and those who
are proposing to insure. The cold
MutuaI' grows stronger, year by year,
in respect to business and financial
strength in popular regard and conf
dence, as shown by it's steadily grow
ing membership, numbering at the
present time 1864, of whom II, 479

RESTING.


Gone from earth and its sorrows,
Where Joy and pleasures never end,
Where light is given for darkness!
There is our mother, sister. friend.
Gone from all that could grieve her here,
Gone from all earthly harm or loss;
Ready to answer her Savior's call,
She went by the way of the cross.
Her kind hands were always ready,
The labor OF others to share;
Her work is done, on her peaceful breast,
They are quietly resting there.
She walks the golden streets above,
Her trials and sufferings DER;
She found waiting a robe and crown,
When she entered the open door.
Her eyes see the King in His beauty,
For the film has passed away;
Singing Gods praise, and near his throne
She will rest through an endless day.
She left your home for mansion,
Just beyond the evergreen Shore,
There she awaits you, one and all,
Where fearful partings are no more.

DEATH OF FERN OLNEY.

The following article, which we
publish at the request of Rev. r. L.
Sheaff, contains an account of the
death of a Shetland pony formerly
owned by Mr.. Sheaff.
Poor little Fern is dead. For over a
year he was the idol of the household
of Selectman Olney. From the very
start he became general favorite and
pet, and no greater pleasure seeming
ly was his than when romping with his
youthful owner Thomas and associates.
He was frequent visitor to the kitten
en- and if tho door happened to be
closed he made his presence known
by knocking, and when given a piece
of sugar or bowl of milk would bow
his head as a token of thanks and
then depart for lawn or orchard or
where his master was, as the two were
practically inseparable.
Thursday afternoon Thomas, Clifford
Harrington, Joseph Fallows, Sd, Ray
mond Burnham and several other boys
were playing ball and having a good
IDENTIFY relished the sport and when a
ball was hit he would kick up his heels
and frolic about. The boys also
enjoyed his antics, and when he was
seen to suddenly fall the game was
stopped and Thomas ran over to his
pet. That he was badly injured was
very evident and Selectman Olney
was sent for, who, upon arrival, found
that Fern had undoubtedly stepped on
round stone and the sudden wrench
together with the weight of his body
had broken leg in three places. DIR.
Pugh was sent for and advised that
chloroform be administered, as it was
impossible to save him. 1t took about
10 minutes to end his sufferings, and
during his struggles tears streamed
down the faces of the gathering pres
ent.
Yesterday, after removing the little
shoes which will be bropzed and kept
as keepsakes by Thomas, Fern was
given a Christian burial under a
spreading tree, and the little grave
will ever be kept green not only by
Thomas and his playmates but by
faithful Jerry who mourns the loss of
Fern to whom he was fondly attached.
Fern was purchased of the Rev. Mr..
Sheaff of Barton, VT, and was found
to be just as represented, Selectman
Olney never questioning the sellers
word, sending an express money
order without seeing his purchase.

kaThere is no present prospect of a
change of generals in command in
Manila. One may come later, but it
will not be from Otis to Lawton, I'M
less present views here are materially
altered in the meanwhile. Lawton is
regarded as a splendid fighter, it is
considered that he is better as an ex-
ecutant than as a planner of COM
palgns. Moreover, to supersede Otis
with a junior officer would be hui
initiation which the President will
never consent to visit upon him. 1t
is possible that Otis may ask for relief
himself, which would afford the desired
opportunity to send out Merritt, or it
may be that Miles will be sent as head
of the whole army to the field in per-
son. The one thing that blocks the
aforementioned plan is the political
consideration, Miles having become
doubtful actor since Dewey announced
that he would not be tempted into
politics. The political consideration
may eventually be overweighted by
the pressure from the whole country
for something to 'charge the luck" in
the Philippines.
The Presidents reluctance to inter-
fere may be better understood when
it is known that there has reached
him through diplomatic channel in
formation which has led him, and
other members of the Administration,
to believe that Aguinaldo is making
his last play, and that the war will be
over by November first. He firmly
credits this, but has consented to push
matters ahead little faster, till the
last information is proved true or as
misleading as some which has preced-
ed it.

WASHINGTON LEI TER.
SPECIAL ooRREsPoNDENoE OF THE MONITOR

Secretary Wilson, who has just re-
turned from a Western trip all the
way to the Pacific coast, upon which
he went to study agricultural con-
ditions so as to make the work of the
Agricultural Department as helpful to
the farmers in that section as posi-
BILE, says the talk about a sentiment
in the west against the Philippine
policy of President Mckinley is all
manufactured in the east, and that he
did not meet single "anti' west Of
Chicago, although he met hundreds
of men, in all stations Of life He
found the farmers prosperous all
through the west, and especially SO
in the corn belt. He says the wheat
crop of that section will be a little
short, but that the crop of corn and
oats and other farm products are
enormous. Speaking of the annexa-
ton sentiment in the west, Secretary
Wilson said: "The people of the
west understand this question better
than do those of the east They know
that Dewey was sent to the Philip
pines to protect our large and grow
ing trade with the Orient. We have
labored to build up trade with China
and Japan, and when the war began
Spain had a fleet in Oriental waters
ready to attack and destroy our COM
merce. She also was ready to en-
courage privateering, and Dewey
went to Hongkong to be ready to pro
tect our shipping. He destroyed the
Spanish fleet as the safe way to pre-
vent it from preying upon American
merchant ships. Had the battle re-
suited in victory for Spain rather
than for Dewey, the Spanish fleet
would have crossed the Pacific to at
tack our western ports. The people
out west realize this, and they also
realize that Dewey's victory and the
subsequent events which transferred
the Philippines to the Z. S. have Civ
en- an extraordinary impetus to the
commerce of this country with the
Orient. At all the Pacific ports the
docks are piled up with goods await
ing shipment to the Orient, and we
have not ships enough to carry them.
The people of the west regard the
Pacific as an American lake, which
should be covered with ships carrying
the American flag, and don't know
but they are about right. Why, I
went on one big ship, loading at
Tacoma, and 1 found in the cargo
lumber, wheat and -four from the
state of Washington; butter and eggs
from Iowa and Michigan; fruit from
California and Oregon; steel from
Alabama; cotton goods from the
CaroHnas; bicycles from Chicago;
notions from New England, and some
thing from more than half the states
in the Union. This cargo was bound
for China and Japan, and it repre-
sented nearly every branch of in
dustry in the U. S. 1t showed me
more clearly than had ever seen be-
fore the general interest we all have
in this Oriental trade"
