The New style Of Writing

Since vertical writing has been adopted
in schools it has been considered neces-
sary by some to use very stiff and hard
pen, and nearly all the pen makers re-
commend pens of this heavy and I'M
yielding description. 1t san error. how
ever to make them too stiff, for sufficient
action and hexibiity are the essential
qualities of perfect pen. 1t is well
known that many persons have ten
dency to grip the holder and press too
bard with the pen. This habit can only
be overcome bv using one made with
some degree of flexibility and fneness Of
point, which compels lightness of
touch, and helps toward graceful and
gliding motion. Pens made properly
will be found to write smoothly, and are
suitable either for the vertical or ordinary
slanting writing.
The Spencerian Vertical Pens No. 81
carry out these ideas and possess this
smoothness of action and well tempered
frmness, together with the well known
superiority in finish of the Spencerian
Pens.
Samples will be sent free Of charge to
our readers, if this item is cut out and
sent with name and address to the Spen
cerian Pen Co., $50 Broome St., New
York City.

Colonel Roosevelt on the Camp at
MOntauk.

For the first few days there was great
confusion and some want even after we
got to Montauk. The men in hospitals
suffered from lack of almost everything,
even cots. But after these few days we
were very we'll cared for and had abund
ance OF all we needed, except that en- sew
eral occasions there was shortage of
food for the horses, which should have
regarded as even more serious than a
shortage for the men, had it not been
that we were about to be disbanded.
The men lived high, with milk, eggs,
oranges, and any amount OF tobacco,
the lack OF which during portions Of the
Cuban campaign had been fe.t as serious
ly as any lack of food. One of the dis
tressing features of the malarial fever
which had been ravaging the troops was
that 1t was recurrent and persistent
Some of my men died after reaching
home and many were very sick. We
owed much to the kindness not only Of
the New York hospitals and the Rec
Cross, and kindred societies; but of in

s,ors md Stripes i'm Porto Rico.

The eighty-fve post Offices of Porto
Rico will have to get along without
United States flags unless they are sup
piled by patriotic citizens. No authority
apparently exists for the purchase OF
flags for this purpose by either the war
or post office department, and Mr..
Elliott, the director OF posts in Porto
Rico, will probably be keenly disappoint-
ed when this response to his requisition
Tor flags reaches San Juan. The post
offices in the smaller places are often the
only evidences in the towns Of American
possession, and Director Elliott thought
it very desirable under such circum-
stances that the building should be
marked by the stars and stripes. Every
schoolhouse on the island floats the
American flag, the gift of Grand Army
post of New York.

The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN says
that Senator Ross won't tell whether
he will vote to re-seat Quay in the
senate or not. Personally we have
no curiosity as to what Mr.. Ross Will
do, but we venture to say that II ne
does vote for Quay he will have the
satisfaction of having aided a man
to place in the United States senate
who has proved to general satlsiac-
ton that he is unworthy of the
honor. Whether legally found guilty
or not, Quay has disgraced himself
and his state enough. Undoubtedly
Senator Ross knows the sentiments
of his constituents and agrees with
them Ludlow Tribune.
There appears to be good ground
for the opinion expressed, by those
who are in a position to know what
is being done and the plans of the
new management, that the Central
Vermont is likely to be of more real
benefit to the people of the state than
ever before. Both Mr.. Hays and
Mr.. Fitzhugh are practical and sue
cessiul railroad men and know what
ought to be done for the good OF the
road and the people. The latter said,
in a recent interview, that the road
would be run as a straight business
proposition; that it would try and
get patronage by deserving it. The
train service will be increased and
improved as fast as circumstances
will warrant. Every effort will be
made to develop the local business of
the road as well as the through bus
mess" This is certainly encourag.
ing and speaks well Tor the future

Vermont may lose one of her con-

apportionment made after the first
census the ratio OF representation
was 33 600. In 1S90it was 70, 901
and in 1900 it will probably exceed
200, 900, on the basis OF house OF
1857 members. In the judgment Of
many experienced legislators who
have studied the subject, the number
of members in the lower house o.
congress should not be permitted tC
exceed 200; and if this view SHOULD
be adopted by congress- in making
the new apportionment, there woulc
be considerable scaling down in thu
East and South, while the Western
representation would remain sub
stantially unchanged. In any event
and under any system OF apportion

The White Brute and the Black.

Written for the CALEDoNIAN.]
Shall the Southern white brute dare
Slay the brute Of darker skin ?
To the brute whose skin is fair
Let the black brute trace his sin !?
Is the black mans soul defiled,
Swart and hardened as his hand
10, his mother bore her child
Like the cattle in the land
If the morals OF the South
Dare not chain the lynching beast,
Ere with foaming ribald mouth
He shall spread another feast,
From the white brute's demon-breast
Let the bloodhounds of the chase
Seize the heart by hate possessed.
Blacker than the black mans face
Has the South no law to tame
British men by slavery made
Ay. the nation shares the shame:
And the nation must upbraid
Let the true of either race,
BE they black, or be they white,
Stem the tide of foul disgrace
Backward roll barbaric night!
Seek, o South, the larger mind
Former master, former slave,
Racial hatred bruise and bind
This alone shall heal and save.
