A BeIIicose Youth.

The boy is still father to the man. A
certain prominent political hustler,
who, like the British tar in ''Pinafore, !"
is ever ready with his fists, showed his
pugilistic taste at an early age.
p The first day he went to school the
family were, of course, anxious to know
his impression Of the new occupation.
"Well, Sammy" said his father,
"what did you learn on your first day at
school9"
Strengthening up and assuming .
bellicose attitude Sam replied. "Father.
learned I can lick every boy in my
class
A few days later his love Of pugilism
and frequent battles led to his expul-
sion. He came home that day and sur
prised his good mother with the remark,
"Well. mother, thank the Lord, have
been turned out utl"-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Archery In a Citx,s Streets.

The military students of Tung-Chou
are conspicuous nuisance. They have
q way of using one of the main streets
in the city as convenient spot for
practicing archery, and we have been
repeatedly obliged to edge up to the ex-
treme edge of the footpath to avoid
possible eccentric flights Of arrows
Characteristically 1t never occurs to
them to suspend operations for others
safety or convenience, and minor acci-
dents must not be uncommon.
A lad was brought to the hospita, the
other day who had been struck by an
arrow just below the eye as he was edg-
ing along the highway. He was not
badly hurt and probably regarded his
injury as incidental to the ordinary
risks of travel on city streets. North

The Worms are Coming.

If reports are true there are many indi-
cations that the caterpillars will visit us the
coming season in larger numbers than ever
before. A Montpelier exchange says
People recalling the experiences of last
summer shudder at the prospect of their
renewal, with the probability Of an increase
of many fold, during the summer that is
close at hand. A suggestion Of what ths
plague may be is derived from some twig!
exhibited by a Calais man, which h9
recently picked from the top of mapldl
that had fallen down. Encircling the
spray of the branches-the outer and upper
and most delicate parts of the tree-are
the deposits of the eggs of the caterpillar
moth. These deposits were everywhere
present in the tree top, and they are
unquestionably omnipresent among the
other trees OF the forests. From these
innumerable deposits of eggs the early
summer warmth will. hatch out counties.
broods Of worms, and the experience o
the ancient Egyptians will be repeated
here among the hills a summer paradise.
Here is what was reported from Win
ocski early in the week: can apple-tree
twig was shown upon which were seer
hundreds Of miniature worms as large
around as small twine and measuring posi-
bly, an eighth Of an inch long. They arr
built and look precisely as the army worn
which bothered so much last year. The.

distiuguishable except upon close inspec
ton. The worms were very much aliv'
and appeared foraging for leaves whicl
were not. The immense number of worm
which appeared last year leaves little room
to doubt that they will be upon us soon il
full force unless promptly treated"
A report from Rutland says: ga resi-
dent Of this cily, who last year wage
fierce war, on the caterpillars that worke
such havoc with our trees, hired bo
Tuesday to 60 over the trees on the plac
and destroy what eggs could be found. .

Bride. md Wet weather.

A Breton bride rather likes to have .
wet wedding; it Is held to signify that
all her tears are now shed and that she
will therefore have happy married
life. I know of no similar belief In the
British isles
The Era of Simbirsk call the day
before the wedding the weeping day,
and the bride and her girl friends weep
all they can, with the idea. it would
seem, Of getting the mourning Of life
over 80 that only JOY may remain.

DRYING PREPARATIONS simply develop dry
catarrh: they dry up the secretions which
adhere to the membrane and decompose,
causing far more serious trouble than the
ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all driving
inhalants and use that which cleanses, soothes
and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such rem
edy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. All druggists sell il
at so cents or it will be mailed by Ely B. 9TH

The state board of railroad commission
ers has filed its answer in the United States
district court in the Rutland railroad two
cent mileage case and it is expected that q
hearing will be held shortly. Here is what
the commissioners say regarding lobby /:
''We aver that said defendant the Rutland
Railroad company displayed the utmost in
terest in preventing the passage of said
acts Of 1898, maintained lobby at con-
siderable expense at said Montpelier in its
behalf, distributed passes with free hand
over its road to the members living along
the line of the same and especially to such
as lived in sections where said acts were
most approved, and in other ways tried to
defeat said legislation"
One OF the best known and most liberal
citizens of Vermont is Col. Robert j.
Kimball of Randolph. He has given to
the graded school district in Randolph
a scholarship in perpetuity in the Univer-
sity OF Vermont and State Agricultural
College. In his letter to the prudential
committee of the district, under date Of
April %, be states that he always regretted
not having taken a college course and
hopes to atone for it, in a measure, by hav.
ing student from his academic alma mater
in the university of the state for years to
come.
Hon. Hamilton S. Peck has announced
that he will certainly be candidate fol

they should do if they decided to become
candidates.
