The lecture given by Prof. John B. De-
Motto ON "Python Eggs and the
American Boy'' at Seaver's hall last
Wednesday evening was one of the be s
ever given here. Prof. Denote is an
ardent champion of young people of
America and is seeking to do all that is
possible for their advancement. His re-
marks were interesting from the first and
o. great benefit to all present. The Illus
Irations, though not numerous, were very
appropriate and with his clear and in
structive explanations helped to make the
lecture more easily understood. The
house was well filled by an appreciative
and attentive audience. We hope that Mr..
Denote will be secured for our course
another year. Mr.. Denote will fill one
hundred and eighty-four engagemer 5
during the season, which shows that be
very busy man. The work which he is
doing throughout the country will do
much toward uplifting the thoughts of
those who listen to him and their influence
Will be felt in other places, thus helping to
bring all to higher level.

ONE GOOD HABIT

When the whole world turns over a
new leaf, it seems time to remind our
readers of one good habit which we
can commend: 1t is the reading of The
Boston Herald. Some of our patrons
read the Daily Herald and some of
them the Sunday herald. We would
that all of them read both the Sunday
and the Daily Herald. This pre- emf
nently great newspaper, the greatest
in New England, has made the great
est record of its record breaking ca
reer. In every department it has made
unmistakable advancement. In it's
makeup it meets every requirement
of the reading public. From the small
est item of local news to the greatest
events of the day it omits nothing,
and yet in it's great pages finds room
for stories, incidents and anecdotes,
which seem marvellous when one
considers the demands upon its col
umns. The Sunday Herald is greater
and broader than ever before, and
every page is frightened by timely
we'll drawn illustrations. During the
past year the Boston Herald in its
various editions has published nearly
10, ZOO illustrations. Certainly the
of the Boston Herald is to be
commended. Are you Herald reader?
If not why not become one during
1899? 1t is your last chance of the CEN
fury.

How to Color Black.

In the autumn season and early win
ter the knowledge of how to color WOOL
en- materials black is valuable to many
good housewives. Here is the way to do
it: Allow four pounds Of wooden ma
terial to one-half pound of copperas.
Wiring the goods very dry out of warm
water and put into the copperas that
has been boiling in water (have enough
water to cover the goods an hour Set
aside until cool enough to wiring, then
wash thoroughly in clear cold water.
Boil two pounds of logwood, tied in a
bag, one hour. Allow the articles to re-
main in this until cool enough to wiring
then to prevent shutting put them for
half an hour in water that dry clover
has been stepped in. Dry thoroughly
and wash. Press while damp.

st. Johnsbury, Dec. 19.-The board
of railroad commissioners met here
today to consider the failure of the
st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
Railroad company to place on sale
mileage books at two cents mile, as
required by an act of the last Legisla-
ture. All the members of the board
were present. The railroad company
admitted that they had failed to COM
ply with the law and asked to be ex-
empted from its provisions claiming
that they could not afford to carry
passengers at this rate. After hear
ing in the matter, the board declined
to grant the company's request and
gave them until Janusry 18th. to COM
ply with the law.

BORROWING THE PAPER.

The habit of borrowing the local
paper is somewhat detrimental to its
prosperity and occasionally fatal to
the disposition of the editor. The ex-
change that expresses itself as follows
has evidently suffered some from this
custom.
Some people will go around Robin
Hoods barn, inconvenience and ha
rass their neighbor, in order to save
$1.5O. In nine cases out of ten such
people are much better able to spend
the $3.50 than their neighbor. The
printer quite frequently comes in
contact with this class of people.
They will ask for half column COM
plimentary notice about their sons
marriage Or the death of their moth
erin law, but will squeeze five cent
piece for week before buying a copy
OF the paper. They poster the life
out of their neighbor by borrowing
the paper and finally he swears he'll
stop it. They do all they can to starve
the printer out of town, and if their

1T. But thank goodness there is
limit to such pest. There is moth
ing that does more for the good of it's
town than the country newspaper.
and no institution that gives more for
nothing.
A liberal patronage from the peo-
pie OF the towns benefited by the ex-
1stence of the paper is the only thing
that will keep it alive. Few realize
the expense of issuing a country
weekly. Of course one can be got
out cheap, but the result is a cheap
paper, not credit to it's town. To
issue good readable paper, such as
we endeavor to make this one. re-
qulres money each week. We give
you weekly bulletin of what is going
on IN your town, the surrounding
towns, the state and country, and all
we ask in return is $3.50 a year, paid
IN advance. There are people who
realize the benefits of the country
weekly and give it their hearty sup
port, but there are also some stingy,
foul blots like the above borrowers
who appear to regard the printer as a
sort of community doormat and think
they can wipe their feet on him. But
few sharp teeth are sometimes in
serted in the doormat for the especial
benefit of such. The editor is in
deed happy mortal. He sometimes
finds a rose among the thorns by get
ting an occasional invitation out to
dinner for some aspirant for office and |
a free pass to the circus. Don't wor-
ry about him; he'll keep a clean col
lar around his neck and a barrel of
flour in the pantry. How he'll do it
the Lord only knows-but somehow.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Cook In Your Ovens-The Barrel Chair
Seat-New Picture Frames.
To Color Black

Many families would be healthier il
more cooking was done in the oven and
less on top of the stove. In too many
homes meat, potatoes and many other
things are almost always fried. Few
| cooks can prepare a really digestib BILE
"fry, and even under the best manipu-
lation fried food is neither so nutritious
nor healthful as baked.
Potatoes sliced, placed in a crock or
heavy earthenware dish, with salt, pep
per, bits of butter and enough sweet
milk to barely cover, covered and baked
Slowly for an hour, are far more palata-
BILE and digestible than fried potatoes.
Cold boiled potatoes may be warmed in
about the same way and are fine. Pota-
toes cut in two, placed in baking dish,
with slices of ham or salt pork over the
top, nearly covered with sweet milk or
water, seasoned, the dish covered and
baked slowly for an hour or longer, are
excellent. Plain baked potatoes are bet
ter and more nutritious than boiled ones.
Parsnips, onions, kraut-in fact,
everything that is usually fried will be
found better and less trouble if baked
for when thing is once in the oven it
requires almost no further care or at
tention, as fried or stewed foods do. IF
eggs instead of being fried are broken
into buttered gem pans or heavy sauce
dishes and set in the oven a few min
utes, they are much more delicate than
fried.
Steak, rolled in flour, put into hot
baking pan with little boiling water,
covered, put in very hot oven which
gradually cools and baked for an hour,
is better and more easily digested than
the fried beef that is often served. If
potatoes are added, they are very nice.
Young chicken, jointed, rolled in
flour, put in a deep baking dish with
salt, pepper, bits of butter and sweet
milk to almost cover and baked slowly
for an hour or until the milk has cooked
away, is certainly the best way in
which chicken can be cooked, sweet,
tender and free from greasiness.
Many other things will suggest them
selves to the thoughtful housewife when
once she learns to use her oven more,
which will serve to Tighten her cooking
and keep her family in better health

New Picture Frames.

Black holdings with black mats are
the newest and best liked for the plat
inum finish pictures, especially photo
graphs, and the oval form is perhaps
considered the most elegant.
For an ultra novelty the "shadow
box style, as it is termed, consists of
double molding, the inner broad and
but scarcely indented. This is incased
under the glass, while the second and
narrower molding stands out consider
ably and gives it the effect of greater
depth. Broad black frames sometimes
have narrow inner line of gilt where
the background of the picture is very
dark, and even color is permissible in
fancy pictures.
Chic and odd frames, especially for
little ideal pictures, celebrities or dane
ing figures, have Florentine edges of
gilt with line of color inside, and the
mats in dull art shade cut out in
rocco or conventional shapes with the
picture and traced in a fine line of
white at the outline.

OUR FARMERS.
BETTER FARMING.

There is no doubt but what farmers
are raising better crops and keeping
up the fertility of their lands more
generally than was the custom of a
century ago. In view of this fact it
behooves every tiller of the soil who
is anxious to make his business re-
munerative to adopt the very best
system of crop cultivation and farm
management. Few acres under Gull
tivation and larger yields per acre is
the only way to successfully meet
competition these times. Our
labors must be directed along inter-
esting lines, be it in the production of
either stock, fruit or grain, and the
one who produces the very best of
everything will find the readiest mar
ket and realize the largest profits, the
keynote to their success being through
cultivation and liberal fertilization.
They not only get enormous yields,
but produce fruit of the very highest
quality.
Even in these times, when farmers
have cause for complaining about
low prices and close competition, in
telligence, thoroughness and a prop
er understanding of whatever is I'M
taken will bring success that most
people are satisfied with. Low prices
for grain and stock have a tendency
to make the progressive farmer more
thoughtful and careful in whatever he
undertakes, instead of drifting along
and waiting for the dawn of better
times. He would welcome a change
as much as anyone else, but until the
dawn of better days he doubles his en-
ergies to come out ahead at the close
of the season.
There are some facts that the aver
age farmer must learn before he can
do much towards getting along in the
world. For instance he never makes
any progress growing ten bushels of
wheat per acre, twenty-fiv bushels
of corn, or a forty dollar horse when |
he has to care for and feed until he is
five years old. But the man who gets
a yield of thirty five bushels of wheat
sixty bushels of corn and produces
horse that will sell for $125 he can see
some profit resulting from his labor.
The best farmer now is the man who
can show the largest profit upon the
capital invested in his business. 1t is
he ability to combine labor and skill
With any amout of capital or invest
nent, in land and make it return the
largest possible profit.-Farmer's
Guide.

DEWEY,S RETIREMENT.

Capt. r. D. Evans name is men
cessor in the New York navy yard
now that it seems to be decided tina
Rear Admiral Sampson will remain
commander in chief of the north At
lantic station, and Rear Admira
Schley will be assigned to sea duty
in compliance with his request.
Unless Congress should pass Law
authorizing him to remain on the act
i've list Rear Admiral Dewey will be
| placed on the retired list. Only one
other retirement will occur next year
that of Commodore Ell. L. HoWison.
now commandant of the Boston navy
yard.
There is a strong sentiment in naval
circles in favor of the passage of a
law which shall permit the retention
of Rear Admiral Dewey upon the act
i've list for ten years, as was done in
the case of heroes of the civil war.
Reports from Manila that Rear-Ad-
miraI Dewey desires to return home
are not believed by Department Off
Gals, their advices from him indicat-
ing that he desires to remain in the
Philippines. 1t is not expected that
he will be detached from command of
the Asiatic station until just in time
to reach the United States on the day
of his retirement.
Work is being pushed by the navy
department on the small cruis-
ers and gun-boats to be used for pa
troll service in Cuban waters. 1t is
appreciated that in six days this gov
eminent will assume control in Cuba,
and it is desired that the navy shall be
prepared to do it's fair share in pre-
serving peace and order in the sea-
ports of the island.
Capt. A. T. Mahan will not be re-
ed for travelling expenses from
Rome to Washington, in pursuance of
orders called him by the secretary of
the navy. The auditor Of the navy,
supported by an official opinion of the
comptroller, has determined that ma
val officers on leave of absence are
not entitled to receive travel pay
when instructed to resume duty.
