A daughter was born to Gov. and Mrs.
E. G. Smith Thursday evening. The
governor was in New York helping Dewey
celebrate but on receipt of telegram has-
tened to St. Albans to do little celebrat-
ing at home. JfsGilq
Keene citizens were bound to have q
Dewey celebration Wednesday night.
Bonhres were started and the police called
out the fire department to extinguish them:
A rumpus between citizens and fremen
followed and the fremen turned the hose
on the crowd and wet down much ardent
patriotism.
Lieut.. Gov. Bates and 16 other Yer
monters made Admiral Dewey an official
visit on the Olympia in New York harbor
Thursday. The admiral stated he should
prefer to have the demonstration in Mont
pelier not later than October -. A def
mite date will probably be fixed this week.
Vermont has shown less enthusiasm over
the arrival of Admiral Dewey than any
other state in the east. We hear of dem
onstrations on every hand even the little
village of Gilsum over in New Hampshire
had enthusiasm sufficient to get out the
brass band, fire cannon and touch off a
bonfire. No doubt Vermont is saving its
wind for the demonstration at Montpelier
next month.
Robert A. Perkins, editor and manager
of the Rutland Herald, has severed his con-
nection with that paper. This takes from
Vermont journalism the most original and
unique quill driver since the days OF Hiram
Atkins. Absolutely fearless, Mr.. Perkins
by his editorial work has given the Herald
high rank among the papers of the state
and of New England.

Feeding Too Much Grafn

Cows differ much in their ability to
make profitable use of the grain fed
them. Those which have the beef tend
ency strongly developed will at once
uegin to fatten on grain, unless it is fed
in such moderate amount and combined
with a large amount of succulent food.
Those who have ensilage or roots, es-
pecially beet or mangel wurtzel, can feed
more grain to cows and have the fat
go to the milk pail than those who
only have dry feed. 1t is not safe to
feed farrow cow much grain, nor yet
one that is near the time TO drop her
calf as it will then stimulate the milk
glands too much and probably cause
garget. Yet it is an advantage to COW
to be in pretty good flesh when she
drops her calf. The inside fat she then
carries will be mostly used up in en-
riching the milk the following sum-

of the young animal not imposed upon
IN the least. Simply go to work and
make crate on wheels, such as is
shown herewith in the illustration, and
into this any calf, pig, sheep or the like
can be driven, the door closed, and His
majesty" wheeled away in triumph.
Indeed. if any calves happen to be
dropped by their dams in the pasture,
nothing devisable is more convenient
for bringing them into the barn. 1t
is also exceedingly useful for convey
ing fat sheep and veal calves to that
place where it is customary on the farm
to dress" them for market. The fact
is, the worth of this simple affair cam
not be estimated as labor-saving de-
vice until one has used it awhile, and
as its cost of construction in the com
parative sense is very small, no farmer
ought to be without it.-Frcderick O..
Sibley, in n. Y. Tribune.

TOLD OF ELIZABETH.
A Characteristic Anecdote of the Late
Empress of Austria Related
by Her Companion.

The biography of Elizabeth, recently
published by Harper d Bros. under
the title The Martyrdom of an EN-
press" contains many interesting in
cidents and adventures of which the
empress was the heroine during her
long and eventful life. Elizabeth and
her constant companion, the author,
used to disguise themselves and visit
the slums of the cities, nursing the SICK
and comforting the afflicted. One night
they were riding through the outskirts
of Pesth when they heard woman's
screams from a rickety hovel.
ION the impulse of the moment" says
the author, 1--WE both leaped from our
horses, and, rushing to the door and
pushing it open, we found ourselves in
a villainously dirty room, where huge
ruffian of a man was dragging woman
about the floor by her luxuriant, un-
bound hair, kicking her vigorously as
he did so. Before | realized what was
happening the empress had laid her
heavy hunting crop about the fellows
face, and so surprised was he at our
unexpected appearance and at this Wig
orous onslaught that he dropped his
victim and stared at us in blank amaze
ment. His astonishment was, however,
as nothing to ours when the ill-used
dame sprang to her feet, and, putting
her arms akimbo, demanded, in her
shrillest Hungarian, and with torrent
of invectives, what we hussies' meant
by interfering with her husband. The
empress burst into peal of laughter,
and taking from her habit a couple of
gold ten-gulden pieces she handed them
to this model benedict, excaiming;
Beat her, my friend; beat her all she
wants. She deserves it for being SO
ioyal to yOu'"

MUlvANEY'S DEBUT.
The Officer Proved Himself q Hero
when the Time Came, but He Never
Mentions IL.

"nen the llme came, Dut He never
Mentions Ii.
Mulvaney had been taken on the
force the week before.
This night he took up beat for the
first time. Up and down Farmer street,
At the rear of the big Woodward avenue
buildings, he walked with a measured
tread, his chest expanding, his lips
whistling the while that popular air of
ten years ago: Hes on the Police
Force Now"
Once in awhile Mulvaney would look
at his watch at the corner of Gratiot
avenue, where the frosted bulb of an
electric light hung over the street.
Then he would thrust the great silver
timepiece back into an inside pocket,
and, buttoning his coat close over it,
would resume his journey down the
street.
1T was just little past midnight. No
one had crossed Mulvaney's path since
ten but two drunken men, and he had
seen nothing out of the usual but cat
having a fit on an ash barrel behind
one of the upper corners on the beat.
AT the lower end he walked back.
Past Gratiot he strolled. There is va
can't lot just there and at the edge of it
Mulvaney stopped. He glanced up at
the back windows of big Woodward
avenue store. The rays of the street
lamp shone upon the windows. One
glance and Mulvaney gasped. Against
the panes, away up there on the fourth
floor, he clearly discerned the outlines
of two human forms.
"Boorglars, be gobb!" exclaimed
Mulvaney. The sight meant action on
his part. He crawled into the alley.
All the lower windows of the big
store were barred. They had not been
tampered with.
Mulvaney ran around to the front
and aroused the Woodward avenue Off
Ger, who was leaning against corner
of store door and doing.
He explained the discovery hastily.
The two found the night Waterman. He
held his breath while he unlocked the
door. The three stepped noiselessly in
side the building. The foorth tiure,'
whispered Mulvaney. Up, up the stairs
they crept. They crawled out upon the
fourth floor at the head of the stair
way. Mulvaney, his heart humping
beneath his new blue coat, crouched on
his hands and knees behind a counter
and peered around the corner. There
stood the figures by the window,
The three men whispered. They
drew their revolvers, and of a sudden
all three stood upright. Throw up
yer hands!" cried Mulvaney.
Throw up your hands!" cried the
other two. And rush was made upon
the forms there by the window.
The forms didn't move. They
couldn't. They were display dummies
taken up there to be epaired.-Detroit

Making EyeIet Holes,

The home dressmaker may find it
useful to know that when bodices are
laced instead of being buttoned or
hooked the eyelet holes through which
the cords are passed should be made in
narrow space between two small
whalebone strips. The whalebone on
each side of the row of eyelets prevents
the cord from wrinkling the bodice.
The places for the bones may be pre-
pared, but the bones need not be slipped
in place until the eyelets are made, as
it is much asier to make the latter be-
fore the material is stiffened. Very
small, round whalebones are most often
used for the stiffening, as they adapt
themselves more readily to the curves
of the figure than do the fiat ones,
which will only bend backward and
forward

CONVENIENT CRATE.
Sheep or Calves Have to BE
Moved Around.

Often is it desirable on the farm to
move swine, sheep, calves and the like
from one building, pen or pasture in
closure to another, but just how to do it
always is a problem, for neither a calf
sheep nor pig likes, as rule, to be led
Or driven. Albeit they are usually
willing enough to go in company with
others, they decidedly object to going
alone, and if forced" it generally takes
lot of energy to convey them even a
little ways.
Happily, however, all this trouble
can easily be averted, and the feelings

RUSSET SHOE POLISH.
Formula for Making Ones Own Sup
ply of Liquid Cleanser and
a SITTER Paste.

Replying to inquiries from CORE
spondents. the American Druggist gives
these recipes, the first for liquid pol
ish. and the second for a sitter paste:
The liquid preparation has compost
ton resembling the following: Yellow
beeswaX, two ounces; fiaXsced oil, three
ounces; oil of turpentine, ten ounces.
Dissolve by means of water bath in
closed vessel and add hard yellow soap
finely shaved, Cne and a quarter ounces.
Dissolve the soap with the aid of heat in
IA ounces of water and add the solution
to the solution of yellow wax and flax
seed oil formed in the first instance. a
nice russet brown color may be impart-
ed to this shoe polish by incorporating
about three grains of Bismarck brown
to each ounce of the polish.
Russet shoe paste has many of the
characteristics of rosin cerate. 1t usual
ly consists of an ointment of yellow wax
and turpentine, colored with palm oil.
The following formula may be used:
Yellow wax, one ounce; palm oil, one
ounce; oil turpentine, three ounces;
oil mirbane, Is drops. Make into
paste. The color may be heightened if
not of the right shade by the judicious
use of butter coloring made from an
lattO.

Keep the Managers Clean.

Much dust ana soied food is apt to
accumulate in the horses manger, and
as he is all the time breathing over it,
the manger quickly becomes so Of
fensive that much food is wasted. Much
of this feed will, however, be eaten by
cattle, as they Will eat freely after
horses. Even the horse excrement is
not so offensive to them as to prevent
them from picking out bits of hay
mixed with it. But the horse has more
delicate taste than any other farm ami
NAL except sheep. When cows pick
over the piles of horse manure for the
hay they are probably in need of salt,
and are attracted by the saline taste of
horse urine.-Farmers' Review.

GIANT AMONG HOGS.
1t Measure Over Nine Feet from the
Tip of Its Nose to the Tail and
weighed 600 Pounds.

The largest hog ever raised was re-
Gently slaughtered in New York. The
animal was a Jersey red boar, two and
one-half years old, weighing alive 1909
pounds and dressing 1886 pounds. The
National Provisioner has the following
to say of the prodigy: This huge
swine measured over nine feet from tip
of its nose to end of its tail. 1t meas
ures two and one-half feet across the
loin, two and one-half feet across the
ham and six feet in girth. This makes
the hog three feet through. 1t is split
at the shoulder, and to look into the
great carcass is like looking into the
crevice of a cavern. The carcass spreads
across the perspective of the store like
Titanic statue of pork personitied. 1t
also looks like the body of the great hog
god embalmed and reposing in its gi-
gantic majesty. From hip bone to toe
1t measures three and one-haf feet and
about the same from the crest of the
shoulder blade to the bottom of the
foot. The great fat jowls extend nearly
two feet across. From between the ears
II the tail is over seven feet. The tail
itself is the smallest thing in the big
proportions. 1t is a mere point in the
air. The face of the hog is also small
for the size of the animal. 1t is only 16
inches long. The hams are monsters in
size, and the vast stretch of pork in the
long waist is borne just above the
ground by four comparatively small
feet. The usual pe.ker is mere pigmy
by its side. The biggest hog heretofore
grown weighed 1880 pounds dead
weight"

What "kuIsomines" Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary prep
nrations manufactured from chalks, clays,
whiting, etc, and are stuck on the walls
with decaying animal glue. They bear no
comparison with Alabastine, which is a ce-
ment that goes through process of set
ting, and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine, should see that the goods
are in packages and properly labeled Moth
ing else is Just as good" as Alabastine. The
claims of new limitations are absurd on
their face: They cannot offer the test Of
time for durability.
