TWO STORIES OF SPIRITS
one of Which Might Have Been Quite
Easily and Naturally Ae-
counted Fer.

When s~piritualism was comparative
~ new and we were youngsters, we
used 10 hear delightful spooky stories
about mysterious actions of furniture
and things, which one never seems 10
hear nowadays. remember n about
some people who had guests invited TO a
grand dinner. The table was spread
not yet been served. The family had
great store Of beautiful glass and
china, and ii was all on the table. For
a moment the servants were all out of
the dining-room, and just at that mo-
ment all the people in the rest of the
house heard a deafening crash of fall
ing dishes; from the dining-room there
came the sound of glassware precipi-
tated upon the floor and crushing into
fragments, and in the midst Of the roar
Of this wreck there rose TO the terrified
ears of the host and hostess the high,
clear notes of the smashing of much
thin china. Every body in the house
family, guests, servants-rushed 10 the
dining-roOm door at the same moment,
expecting TO see nothing less than the
table overthrown and every precious
dish on IL broken, and what did they be-
hold? The table set in perfect order
with not a thing on il disturbed. What
had made the awful crash? Nobody
ever knew. Not a dish was even nicked
in that house that day. The spirits-so
the story ran to us-had just made a
terrible ghostly crash for the fun Of Il
and the alarm Of the household.
"Iremember that this story impressed
me a great deal more than IL would
have impressed me If the dishes had
really been found smashed. though IL
could have been proved that no human
being had been In the room al the time.

was a crash and nothing more. fancy

WHY did THEY DO IT?

You knOw-everybody knows-that
the Central Vermont Railroad Com.
pany is a most critical purchaser.
When in the market for merchandise
they ask for samples and before plac-
ing the order, submit the samples to a
rigid examination by the most compe-
tent experts in their employ; they are
not looking for the cheapest articles
but the best.
In 1895 the G. V. r.. II. Co. had oc-
casion to purchase roofing for many
of their buildings, including the en-
CINE house at New London, Conn, and
Passenger Station at Burlington.
Every manufacturer in the country
was anxious for the order. The sam
piles were submitted, the experts x
amined them. The contract was
awarded Strong Hardware Co., and
Strong's Fire-ProofRoofing was used.
Gentle reader, are you in need ofroof-
ing ? Is the Roofing that the Central
Vermont II. r. Co. buys for its own
use good enough for you?
Remember, wise men profit by the
experience Of others. DO you wish to
profit by the experience Of the Cen
trail Vermont r. r. Co.'s experts ? II
so, use Strong's Fire-Proof Roofing.

ROYALTY AND NOBILITY.

The emperor of Germany is such a

mirer recently presented him with a
snuffbox of his famous predecessor Of
Prussia, Frederick the Great, William
at once had the box filed with the
best snuff and has been taking" 1t

port that the prince of Wales has aged

the physique that cannot be repaired.
Queen Victoria has appointed the
duke of Marlborough, who married Miss
Vanderbilt, paymaster general, in sue

has been made lord chamberlain. The
position is largely honorary, but gives
high rank and is a most desirable post.
The countess Of Warwick, the noted

the late Baron Rothschild another. The

A SHORE DINNER.


Like the New England boiled dinner
the shore dinner is distinctiyely a north.
ern affair. 1t is to the north what tn,
barbecue is TO the south, and yet differs
from that feast in that II can be served
TO few or many, while the roast OK Of
the south can only be dished up to adj
vantage and without great pesuniary
loss 10 a multitude. The New England
shore dinner serves as a magnet to draw
many a man-and woman, too to the
seashore resorts. and although cheaply
served is by reason of the expense in
reaching it generally a costly meal. OF
necessity its surroundings are crude
and primitive, and In most cases your
dinner is thrown at you" Yet we ac-
cept the many Inconvenience for the
sake Of the treat.
Why not have the shore dinner at your
homes? With the present railroad IA
c%ilities there is no place in the east where
all the essentials cannot be furnished at
a reasonable price. / have before me a
bill Of fare Of Of the most popular
shore dinners furnished in New England,

Fish or Clam Chowder.
Steamed CLANS. Butter Sauce.
Baked Blue Fish. Potato Chips.
Fried Sea Perch Fried CLANS.
Green Corn. Cucumbers.
Pie or Pudding.
Watermelon. Tea or Coffee.
That is the meal people go miles to
enjoy. There is nothing about II difficult
TO cook, nothing there that cannot be
prepared for a party Of five as well as
for a party Of 500, no reason why it can
not be lastly and daintily served.

This Years Wheat Crop.

New York. Oct. 1o.--The total wheat
crop of 1899 is estimated by the American
Agriculturist. in it's final report to be
published to-day, at 565, 350,00 bushels,
grown on 45,251,0O0 acres, as compared
with production last year which, in the
light of the seasons movement. cannot
have been less than 900 bushels The
average yield per acre is placed at 12.5
bushels. The winter wheat crop Is esti-
mated at 297,000,0G0 bushels; average yield,
ll.5 bushels. Spring wheat crop 269, 900, 900;
average yield, 1877 bushels
The average rate of yield of oats ac-
cording to the American AgricuIturist
Is returned at 30.4 bushels per acre, Is
bushels above that of last year and an
average higher than was ever before re-
ported for the whole breadth. The crop
is estimated at S69,OO0OO0 bushels, against
1890 coo in 1898 and S14,G00,0 600 in 1897 The
quality of the present crop is unusually
good.
The authority named places the aver
age condition of corn three points lower
than on Sept. !, and only two points high
er than was reported at this date year
ago, and adds that II the final rate of
yield shall substantiate that indicated by
the return the crop is likely to be found
rather above 2,215, 100000 bushels, a fairly
liberal yield. but not record crop.
