Peace With Spaln.

Gov. Long eloquently calls for
"peace with Spain.' Great heav-
ems, if we are not at peace with
Spain, what are we? We could
kick Spain from one pole to the
other now, without word of pro-
test. What we seem to want now
is peace with the Filipinus. They
are in arms against us, and defying
us to conquer them. Do we want
peace with them' No! Not until
Aguinaldo has been scalded and
f1ayed, and every one of his lieuten-
ants blinded with a hot poker.
When that is done, and not till then,
we will send Bibles and breech-
clouts to the Filipinos.-Boston Ad-
vertiser.

ARTIFICIAL INDIGO.
One of India's Industries Imperfect by
Recent Dissolve riss.

One of India's Industrie Imperfect by
Recent Discoveries.
Chemical experiments which had
indigo, ard which, consequently,
threatened to eXtingui2h Il great
East Indian industry, have been in
progress for years, but they have
only recently reached II stage
where this product can be obtained
cheaply enough to compete with the
old article commercially. There was
a time when, III central Germany, a
large quantity of indigo was manu-
featured from home grown plant.
But for some reason the indigo plant
of East India yielded a much larger
proportion of dye than this one, and
after Il century or two, iii spite OF
protective legislation and the prom,
iscs of European manufacturers to
use only the domestic indigo, the
Germans Il abandoned the further pro.
duction of the latter. it now looks
as if East India were about to eXpe.
rience Il similar fate. At the present
time her indigo industry yields her
several millions of dollars. She fur
nlshes the calico printers of the
whole world with dye stuff.
Chemistry has found it a much
easier task to take a substance apart
than to put it together again. Count
less essences and extracts have been
Analysed and their exact compost
ton learned. Careful lists have been
made, showing The precise proper
ton in which the atoms of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen go together
in these compounds. But when tho
chemist attempts to build up one OF
these substances from its elements
he often discovers that they won't
combine Already several perfumes
of flowers have been exactly imitat-
cd by this Eothod, and 30 years ago,
after Is years of experiment, a cheap
way of getting the coloring princi-
pie of madden, a beautiful red dye,
out of coal tar was found. Since that
time it has not been profitable to
raise the madden plant. The posi-
bllity of mans putting together tho
ingredients which nature employs in
making the essential part OF indigo,
and in precisely the same proper
tons, was demonstrated long time
ago. And synthetic chemistry
has since been studying the problem
of cheapenias the process, so that it
might be placed on commercial
| basis.
A German house, the Badische
Anitin and Soda Fabrik, of Lud-
wigshafen- ont e-Rhine, has placed
on tho market an almost pure indigo
blue at price so very near that of
the East Indian article that a for
midable competition is at last threat
ened. 1t should be observed that the
indigo plant yields, i'll addition tc
the blue principle (indigo tin) red
dye.
The manufacturing chemists have
thus far got only the blue dye. More
over, it is alleged that the system OF
treating the East Indian plant now
in vogue does not extract all of Ell
Their principle which exists there
Improved methods of manufacture
may perhaps cheaper the patura
article little more 1t is too soon
therefore, to predict the complete
downfall of the indigo business ol
the east. But it is certainly in great
er peril today than ever BEFORE

if home loans are sought tor and en-
couraged hv savings bank managers,
new industries will from time 10
time spring up and develop to alb,
sorb the loaning capacity of its Local
savings bank. The fact that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. does not own an asset out
side of Lanoile and adjacent coun-
ties is the best possible substantial
ton of this position. TO claim
otherwise is of course to assert that
Lamoile County is an exceptional
field, and we know of nothing to
warrant such assertion. Indeed, it
is Il matter of record that in 1856 the
only bank in Lamoille County was
compelled to reduce its capital from
$4,000 to 100000 because it
could not loan its money. Whv:
Simply because the people felt no
safety in entering upon any enter
prise requiring banking assistance
for tie reason that the bank felt no
moral obligation resting upon it to
take care of those enterprises during

The physician who suggests that
the telephone is great place to get
grip in seems to have basis for his
theory. He went into several of the
hotel exchanges IN New York, it
seems, to some of the public tele-
phones, rubbed off the mouth piece
of the receiver with some cotton
balls. These balls, upon examina-
ton, yielded number of grip bacil-
Ii. The moral isn't difficult. Keep
your telephone receiver clean, espec-
ially when everybody using it is
coughing, sneezing or giving other
signs of some throat or lung affcc-
ton.

THE REAL SNAKE CHARMGR
How He Differs From the Ordinary Ma
nipulator of Harmless Reptiles.

How He Differs From the Ordinary Ma
nipulator of Harmless Reptiles.
The famous snake charmers of In
din are divided into two classes
viz, the genuine and the imitation,
or the real charmer and the tricky
but clever manipulation of snakes.
The former actually charms tho
venomous reptiles into temporary
docility and harmlessness, while the
latter merely handles those which
have been rendered harmless by the
extraction of their fangs.
The real charmer seldom performs
in a large town, because snakes are
not as numerous there as in the
smaller villages and the jungles.
One of this class carries his worldly
possessions in two bags hung on a
bamboo pole which vests on one of
his shoulders His most important
and highly priced belongings, his
pipe, a rude musical instrument
made Of II gourd and section OF
bamboo, he carries in his hand.
If you are living in the mofussil,
or rural district, and desire to ascer-
tain whether there are snakes har-
bored within the precincts of your
garden, pay the charmer a rupee or
two and he is at your service. Care,
fully depositing his bags on the
ground, he sits down beside them,
cros-lcgged. closes his eyes and be-
gins to play a mournful melody
upon his pipe.
To the occidental ear there is moth
ing impressive or thrilling in the
performance, and You fail to detect
even faint resemblance to har
munlo,is arrangement of tones such

True, the president asks only for
the ratification of the treaty, but that
means nearly everything under the
sun as the thing stands now. 1t can
not be called a modest request by
any stretch of the imagination. The
treaty makes no promise of indie
pendence to the Filipinos, for which
they have fought for years as right
full owners of the islands. The
Filipinos. have shown no h,lngerine
desire for the particular brand OF
liberty rendered them by the admin
istration and until some definite pol
icy aside from the grabbing of the
islands by the treaty of 'peace' is
announced, there will be very Just
protest against its ratification.

The work of the war investigation
commission, which was apparently

ment methods, is not likely to lead
to any practical reforms or the bet

AT the same time, however, the

which was not anticipated, and that
is to weaken the movement for an
