distinctly in front, recalling glrdle ef- fects. Many belts to elaborate recep- ton gowns are so cleverly managed that one does not realize, except in side view, how deep the droop is. The effect is to lengthen the waist a great deal. The proportions of the figure must be main- tained and the very deeply dropped belt should only be risked with long skirt, that will restore balance of length to the limbs. A too long waisted figure is ugly, or to put it another way figure that seems to be mounted on too short legs cannot be graceful.

Of 65o-horse- e-power in direct connection with an electric generator, which has been in successful operation for over a year. It has speed of one hundred and fifty revolutions minute and is or the vertical three-cylinder type. The cylinders are so arranged that, with each revolution of the engine shaft, an explosion of gas occurs by the aid of an electric spark. As the load varies the supplies of gas are automatically regu- lated with the result of obtaining a fairly constant speed.

DIFFICULT PORTRAIT PAINTING.

1 DIFFICULT PORTRAIT PAINTING.
 M. de la Neziere, who is just back from the west coast of Africa, has been spending some months in labolious at- tempts to paint the portrait of Samory
 the vanauished king, under considerable difficulties. The dethroned potentate has the greatest objection to artists in general, and in particular deemed it a piece of gross impertinence on the part of M. de la Neziere to want to catch his likeness. His dusky majesty had to be coaxed with innumerable gifts of cigar cites. matches and coppers into giving the painter sitting. Among all the presents showered upon him, small change, which he used promptly to put ill his mouth as a ptecaution against pickpockets, was what he liked best
 At last Samory was modified, began to call M. de la Neziere by the only French word he knew, camarade," and gra- cously consented to sit. The unfortu- nate artists difficulties were not yet, however, at an end. When Samory saw his royal features being drawn upon canvas he was suddenly taken with a bashful fit that lasted on and off for sev- eral weeks, He used every now and then to hide his countenance beneath his urban, and resolutely refuse to unveil. Whenever it happened that Samory's feelings of modesty were thus unac- countably hurt, the sitting had nvaria- bly, to be given up for the day. At oth- CT times the fallen but still capricious monarch used seriously to disturb the painters work by sprnkling him and his canvas with water. At last, howev- CT. M de la Neziere succeeded in getting few sketches of Samory, which he has brought back with him, and from which he intends painting a finished portrait of

s At the Presbyterian general assembly in Minneapolis one of the reports spoke of next year as the opening of the new century. Immediate objection was
 made, and after a lively debate the question was referred to the stated clerk. He, being a man of methodical mind, and knowing that one hundred years are required to complete cen- tury, decided that nineteen centuries must contain nineteen hundred years, and that therefore the twentieth cen- tury would begin with the year 1901 The decision was unanimously accepted, and harmony thenceforth reigned.

A prominent German ophthalmic sur- geon has recently published statistics of the causes of blindness in children More than 20 per cent. of the causes of blindness resulting from injuries to the eyes are shown to be caused by playing with sharp instruments; 12 per cent. by malicious injury from blows, stone throwing, etc. A Paris physician re- ports that of 939 children who were blind in one or both eyes $50 were in- jured by shooting and explosion of per- scussion caps.

As "a result credulous people gathered to- gether all the new one-dollar bills they could get, and so rapidly did the cir culation of the issue decrease that the officials of the sub treasury felt called upon to announce not only that the pre- 7mium story was untrue, but that the government had no intention of with (lrawing the certificates.

The hundredth anniversary of the vaccination in Vienna has just been celebrated in that city. Dr. Johannes Cheyalier de Carro, native of Geneva, who studied medicine in Edinburgh made Jenner's acquaintance, and, on settling down in Vienna, received from him in May, 1799, the first COW virus, with which, on May 10, he vaccinated his two elder sons, who subsequently, helped him to promote the use of the, new preventative. The Archduke Charles in 1903 recommended to the Hofkriegssrath, or War office, the in- troduction of vaccination in the army, but in the meanwhile pr. de Carro had sent COW lymph which was by that time being produced in Vienna itself, to Greece, Turkey and even to Bombay. sCeyIon and Sumatra, the invention of an ingenious method of packing vials of liquid lymph being attributed to him by his contemporaries.

Major Montaine, a prominent civil en- gineer in Lyons, Massachusetts, tells of a remarkable discovery in Arkansas. s While making survey he found ruins of what he declares was once the me- tropolis of the prehistoric mound builders and the largest city in the world. He is quoted as saying: "On a decline east and west for thirty-five n saw ruins. Computing the number of people by estimating that each dwelling contained five inhabitants I found that 11,o0O,000 people had their homes in this great city" This city of ruins is spread over three counties.

Camp Martin.

The vacation season at the shore resorts
1 Is drawing to close and the opening o.
/ the schools in town and city, and the re-
sumption OF trade and business routine
/ 10 all eenters, has drawn the people e
/ their homes with many twinge OF regret
A notable link in this wonderful chain
| OF sum mer resorts is Camp Martin, locRt-
ed on the South bay OF Lake Champlsin
opposite the Sand Bar bridge and seven
miles from Milton.
This season many experienced travellers
and recreation-seekers have enjoyed the
natural beauty OF the scenery and the fine
fishing, which the lake affords.
There has been quite a change in the
camp during the past year in the way OF
new cottages, walks and lawns, and the
prospects are still better for another year
TOR along this beautiful stretch OF shore
there are sites for many an attractive cot
tage.
Just east and back OF the cottages there
is lofty ledge running north about two
and one. half miles, gradually growing
higher and terminating in Eagle noun
tain. Occasionally pleasure party from
camp have elm bed to the top of his noun
tain but were more than rewarded BY the
series Of views that lay before them, es-
peeially Of Mt. Mansfield, the Adiron-
dacks and the many islands Of Lake
Champaign.
The fishing this season has been, it is
said, the best anywhere along the lake
shore. The largest catch in one day was
100 fish. Two fine specimens OF pickerel
we're brought in by Miss Lucy Macdon-
ough ard Mrs. Robert Adams OF Philadel-
phia, Pa, one weighing nine and one half
pounds and the other nine and one-fourth
pounds. William h. Martin OF Underhill
also caught a large one.
Among the guests at the farmhouse
from South Royalton were Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Tarbell and Miss Florence, VIM. II.
Sargent, A. l.. Lewis aud Leon Latham.
Others who visited the camp during the
summer were Mr.. and Mrs. Washington
Cooper and three children of New York
city, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Daggett and
daughter OF Boston, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Martin OF Barre, +. 5. Rogers OF Boston
and VIM. Hackstaff OF New York.

do not visit this town. The hall owners
aud managers are in no wise to blame, of
course. Remodelling or removal to sites
away from the track are impossible. They
have maintained and rented their halls
more out of public spirit than for profit,
and II better accommodations could be
provided they would use their halls for
other purposes to better advantage, quite
likely.
II an opera house were to be built,
nice adjunct would be quarters for our
public library-iight, comfortable and
ommodious-wherein the books would
not only find a convenient depot from
V hitch to circulate, but wherein a public
reading room would afford a chance for
people to step in and read for an hour or
an evening. The value OF the library
aud possibly a supply OF magazines and
newspapers-would thus be greatly en-
BANGED, for the use OF such matter is all
the good there is in it.
As paying investment, an opera house
and library room might not support its
stockholders in idleness, but nobody ex-
poets that. All would rejoice liz, and be
proud OF, a building for these purposes
that would be creditable TO the town and
fitted for its needs.
We understand that two public-spirited
citizens have expressed a willingness to
half the sum necessary to build
a sl5 900 music hall, il the other half can
be raised. Others have thought this too
good offer to let pass and 1t is likely
that steps may soon be taken toward sub
seribing the balance.

The season tickets will be sold for the
same price as last year. There will also be
