MUSIC OF THE MONTH.

The eminent composer and teacher, John
Orth, has written three new piano solos which
Will delight those pianisis who look to this
Boston composer for something pleasing ana
musicianly. "Valse Arabesque," OPP. 10, NO.
(50c. }, is a waltz that piansts will do well to
take note Of" 1t is charmingly waltzy,
light and airy, nothing better to cultivate
refined and delicate touch,-and point
which makes all Mr.. Orth's work so attractive
to teachers and players alike, Is that Is much
easier to play than it sounds. "Sympathy,"

preston, not execution; heart, not mere
fingers. "Etude Brlhante," in fiat, OPP. TO-,
No. (50c.), is something that pupils VIII
like to practice, and which will help their
execution as much or more than the often
dislikcd exercises, besides being 'as pretty
as Il piece" when learned.
! David Stanley Smith, an undergraduate of
Yale, is most promising composer He re-
ceiVed honorable mention in the recent Mu'

song, now ON sale, 40c., is "A most sympathetic

A BIG MARBLE DEAL.
The True Blue Company Buys a Quar-
fn V1aranca

The True Blue Company Buys Quarry
in Florence.
The True lBlue MAJ bic company has
bought 1OS acres of marble land, situated
about half mile southwest of the Flor
ence station on the Rutland railroad in
the town of Pttsford. George Royce,
treasurer of the True Blue company, has
bought about 20 acres adjoing this tract,
which Is about three-fourths of a mile
south of HOLSTERS Florence marble
quarry. By these purchases the True
Blue and Mr.. Royce have got the owner
ship of ledge of marble about mile
long. Prof. Newberry of Yale college
bought this marble ledge some years ago
after making very thorough examina-
ton of 1t and the quality of the marble ;
but he died before he carried out his plan
to put this marble on the market. The
True Blue company now buys of the
New berry estate.
The ledge which has just been bought
is probably the largest vein of white
marble in Vermont. 1t is about 600 feet
thick and much of it of remarkable
purity, being what is known as statuary
marble and rivaling In quality Italian
marbles of its character. Experts who
have recently examined this Florence
marble fully bear out the opinion of
Prof. Newberry as to its quality. While
it has been known for some years that
Vermont is rich in statuary marble, very
little has been done in marketing it.
In those Italian towns situated in the
neighborhood of statuary maj BILE quarries
there are hundreds of artisans and
sculptors who turn out small busts and
duplicates of well-known pieces of statu.
airy for the foreign trade, and thus gain
a very fair livelihood. These little
Italian shops may be kind of pointer to
Vermont if the statuary marble deposits
are developed so that the material is at
hand to be worked up.-Rutland Herald.

Look out for the man with the patent
milk preventative. There are various
agents now abroad IN the land selling
"Freezene," "No-ice- needed Preserva-
tive" Liquid Milk Sweet" and several
such nostrums intended incidentally to
keep milk from souring, and primarily
TO gather In the farmers loose change.
In all those several cases which have
been reported to the Vermont expert
ment station, the chemical basis of the
pres ervative is the same. 1t is formalde-
hyde-formalin-a powerful disinfectant
and germcide, but not desirable arti-
Gle of diet for the human species. 1t is
not strictly and seriously poisonous, but
it Is held by all the best authorities to be
harmful to the digestive system. 1t Is
the same mater ial now largely in use In
, creameli S for preserving samples of milk
for testing. 1t will certainly keep
milk from souIing; and it thus en-
ables the slovenly dairyDen to cover up
many of his worst negligeDcies. 1t
leaves him free to enjoy the filth of an
urclean stable, to save himself the
trouble of cleaning his cans, to be as
loose and lazy and wicked as he pleases.
This is not to say that the man who
uses PIeservative, Freezene and the like
is necessarily that sort of fellow; but
these chemicals do protect him from the
results of.negliPence and ignorance, and
seem, to the unprecedented observer, to
offer the careless milkman an undeserved
salvation from his sins.

DePartee Not Drowned.

Still further doubt is now cast upon
the case of ]. N. DePartee, who was re.
ported drowned at Spalding about q
month ago. There seemed at that time
to have been deliberate attempt to com.
init suicide, or to deceive the public. The
effect was strong suspicion that DePar-
tee was in hiding and not yet fit sub
ject for the coroner.
Last Monday VIM. Bounds, who does
some detective work at odd spells, in a
manner cleared away the belief that
DePartee had become food for fishes. He
received letter from Poneroy which
stated that the man had been seen in that
place since the supposed drowning.
While there are chances for mistaken
identity, the circumstances support this
evidence and make the theory of decep-
ton still more reasonable conclusion.
1t is believed now that DePartee had
evolved the fact in his mind that the life
insurance would be worth more to his
family than his corporal presence
This unselish regard for the well
fareof his family is commenda-
Bile in the man if he was dishonest
enough to beat the mutual benefit socie-
ties which fraternated for post mortem
benefits.

Warehouse Burned.

The big Sanford Evans warehouse in
Genesee burned to the ground last Sat
urday This was one of the largest wheat
storage houses in the place and the loss is
a heavy blow upon Mr.. Evans and
the patrons of the house. The loss was
$4,000 bushels of wheat. Mr.. Evan
owned 10000 bushels of choice whea,
Individually which were destroyed.
The fire was caused by the explosion OF
an alright heating stove. A big pitch
wood fire had been put on and the draft
tightly closed. The accumulation of gas
or smoke exploded and threw off the
cover and scattered fire into the Office
which was all abiaze when discovered.
The farmers held considerable insurance
on their wheat, which partly covers the
loss, although in some cases there was no
insurance
This is the third big warehouse that
hus been destroyed in Genesee in four
years, each time with heavy loss to the
community.
