Another quotation and then u few
words will close this article. The
next quotation will illustrate how Mr..

responds to the theme OF country. 1t
is from his speech on the reception OF
the statues of General Stark and Dam
iel Webster to the Statuary hall Of the
L. S. Capitol-a memorable occasion.
"New hampshire is fortunate in the
selection of characters tor Statuary

throughout the country, and great
with all English-speaking peoples.
Vermont congratulates New Hamp-
shire and welcomes these her sons in
commemorative marble to the COM
panionship of the great in marble and
bronze from other states. The hero of
Ticonderoga from Vermont welcomes
the hero of Bennington from New
Hampshire. There let them stand,
typical soldiers of typical states, con-
temporaries in life and in the sculp-
tureu renown of death. The eminent
lawyer, jurist and statesman, Jacob
Collamer, who came nearer making
good the place of Webster in the SEN
ate than any other man of his time,
now welcomes that great lawyer. ora

Stark was with her in war and Web

WILLIAM ". CIRCUIT.
Sketch by DIR. J. f.. Rankin, President
of Howard University, Formerly a
Pastor at st. JOhnsbury.

For more than two hundred and tif-
ty years the Grout family has breathed
the air of the New World; for more
than one hundred years the air Of Yer
mont. William Wallace Grout is II
Vermonter through and through.
This. as to his hcredity. The family
has lately celebrated century of life
on one farm, where he resides. Ralph
Waldo Emerson says, "There is one
mind common to every individual
man. What Plato has thought, he
may think; what has befallen any
other man, he can understand" If
this is true of the human kind, it is
especially true of the citizens of Il state
and especially Of a state so unique in
it's character and pursuits us the state
OF Vermont
1t is said you cannot manufacture
certain brands of wine except from
grapes raised upon peculiar soil; you
cannot manufacture certain kinds of
china except from clay of peculiar
tint and texture. think Vermont is
one of the best states in the world for
the making of men. 1t has good soil
for such II product What state can
beat her? Recall her Collamer, her
FOote, her Phelps, her Poland, her Ed
munds.
Sir William Jones asks, "What con-
stitutes state ?" And then he
answers himself, "Mcn, high-minded
men. Men who their duties know,
but know their rights, and knowing,
dare maintain" High-minded men
are IA native product Of Vermont; Just
us maple sugar is, as fleet horses are.
In the Civil War there was a place
where the commanding general always
wanted his Vcrmonters. At Gettys-
burg, it was where General Stannard
had them in the hour of the country's
need. They turned the tide of the
day. Pure air, crystal water, the sight
OF the mountains, short summers, long
winters. a rugged soil, feats Of
strength in forest and the harvest
field, free schools, free churches and Il
free state; there you have the condi-
tions of moral and mental independ-
ence, strength and greatness. This is
the Vermont environment. Vermont
ers are not seeking great things for
themselves, but they stand ready for
emergencies. 1t was an emergency
that gave Admiral Dewey his chance
at Manila. 1t was an emergency that
gave General Stannard. his chance at
Gettysburg.
William Wallace Grout has been
more than generation in the public
service. He has always met emercen-
cies. From the day when he resigned
the office Of states attorney that he
might enlist in the U. S. army and lead
Green Mountain Boys to the 'front.'
which is thirty-eight years ago-he has
been known and read OF all men, as q i
man of untlinching courage, inflexible
integrity, sagacious, serviccable; al
ways answering to the roll call,
"Here!" What interest of his state
has ever been neglected by himp AS
ISOLATED rs he has been with some of
Vermont's noblest public men-such |
as Edmunds and Morrill, in the Sen
ate-and men of similar character and

himself worthy of their fellowship.

INDIAN SERVANTS IN ENGLAND.
For General Housework the Duslsy
Maids Arc Not Success.
T

why not import ayahs to England, and
SO solve the domestic servant problem '
writes a correspondent. She adds that
they make very faithful, good servants;
that there would be no chance of the
policeman on the beat, the milkman, or
the postman walking OUT with the
swarthy girl, and consequently her head
would not be turned and household at
fairs would run more smoothly.
The suggestion. of course, is very good,
but only workable in theory. and there
are Il dozen reasons why the ayah in Eng
land would not be a practical success.
The servants quarters in the ordinary
middle-class house or fiat are not large
enough to accommodate the number of
ayahs who would be necessary for the
household work
No ayah could be found who would
work as general or house parlor maid.
A woman who would nurse children would
absolutely refuse to brush the carpets or
cook the dinner. Then comes the great
question of health Few colored women
can stand the English climate. To save
their live. and keep the healthy dark
color in their skins they must constantly
return to their native land.
Therefore the same cry, II am changing
scrvantsi" would be heard in the land,
and the housewife would be worried as
ever. Add to all this the fact that many
Anglo-Indians have tried the ayah in
England and found her to fail.

has wit enough to see the jest. and point
jihes at the unfortunate victim.
To carry a stick while in cap and gown
Is universally barred. This rule is, per-
haps, correlative Of the last.
1t is probably the cap and gown which
give most trouble to the freshman. He
has been known to go down to the river
in them, and has sat in tub all the after
noon, gravely wondering what everyone
was laughing at.
The undergraduate is a hardy and
clearly animal; whatever he may have
been at school, at Oxford he is the cham
pion of soap and cold water, hence one OF
his unwritten laws. Everyone is sup
posed to have a cold bath every morning.
This Is a law to which everyone con-
forms, at least outwardly. If one does
not the college may perhaps treat him
to a cold bath in the college fountain, or
duck pond. IL IT possesses one. some cold
winters night on the breakup OF wine
party. The addition to the matutinal tub
of hot water from kettle is looked upon
with suspicion, as practice derogatory
to the dignity of undergraduates. Hence.
almost everyone prefers to battle in cold
water, even in winter In secret. doubt
less. many put in so much hot water and
SO little cold that the cold is swamped,
but this must be done by stealth.
The first care of the freshman is to get
into the society OF the college. After sit
ting in his newly furnished rooms for an
hour or two he begins to feel lonely. and
sallies out in search of his brother fresh
men. The rules Of calling are, Of course,
different in different colleges. AS gen.
eral rule, no freshman may call on SEN
ior man until the senior has called on
him, or has asked him to his rooms. and
the freshman. when he calls. must not
leave cards. He must call and call again
like a dun-till he finds the senior man
at home. but in some colleges the whole
system of calling has been swept away.
The men Of the second year give large
breakfast parties to all the freshmen dur
ing their first term. In this way the
"freshers'' get to know the rest OF the
college, and they are henceforth free to
anybodys rooms.
THE question Of calling leads to the
question of cards. 1t is usual to omit the
word Mr." on visiting cards at Oxford;
why. no one can say.-The National Re-

SAW TOO MUCH SUFFERING.
Oversecr of the Poor. Mentally Tn
bnInnced, Commits Suicide.

ROCHESTER,. N. Y. Oct. 23.-His mind
affected by the poverty Of the people with
whom he came in contact through his
official duties. Burr S. Northrop. overseer
of the poor in the town of Penfield. this
county. committed suicide today. He was
of very sensitive disposition, and he
allowed the troubles of the poor people
OF the neighborhood TO affect him to n
very great degree. He spent great deal
of his time in trying to alleviate their
sufferings. and took money out of his
own pocket for that purpose. OF late his
mind became weakened through his ex-
ertions in their behalf.
Mr.. Northrop left the house about 4
o'clock this morning. and at his body
was found lying near the rail fence. He
had procured an old shot gun from his
home and had fastened the weapon to
the top rail of the fence with pieces of
rope a piece of twine was fastened
around the trigger of the gun and carried
around a lower section of the fence.
Ncrthrop placed himself before the gun
so that the barrel was pointed at his
temple He then pulled the string and re-
ceived the full charge in the temple and
face. Death was instantaneous. Mr..
Northrop was ffty-two years old, and
prominent throughout the county.

ALL BUT ONE REQUISITE.
Why the Professor Did Not adopt
Twins offered Hini.
(From the Saturday Evening Pc

tFTom the saturday Evening Post-1
Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of
American history at Harvard University,
stands as one OF the worlds highest au-
tborities in his chosen EsId and has pub
lished number of. books on the history
of this country.
A story is told of how he and Mrs. Hart
recently decided 10 adept two children
And the two were TO be twins They
must not be ordinary twins, bu5 were to
be chosen under Ger ain spoc-f T stric
items
They must be mere infants, so that the

both be boys. They must be without spot

must be no Inheritance of crime faint or
OF mental unsoundness- And they must
be strictly of an American family. No
touch of English or French or any othsr
nationality for several generations back

Among the friends of the couple and
among a few orphan asylums and chill
dren's homes the fact Of the quest be
came known, and from time to time Prof.
Hart was informed of twins that ii was
thought would just suit him. He OF Mrs.
Hart would always travel TO the spot and
examine the twins. only to return disap-
to the judgment of the Harris. wanting in
enc or more OF the specifications.
But finally there came a notice OF d diff
ferent character. Il was from the diree-
ter of home who had already offered
two sets OF twins, only to have them de-
clined.
This time his notice was full of jubi-
liant confidence Re had twins that he was
absolutely positive would answer the re-
quirements in every specification This
time Mr.. Hart could not fail to be pleased.
So confident was the tone that both Prof.
and Mrs. Hart JouTneyed together to look
a the wonders.
They found them just as represented,
They were all that had been claimed for
them They were infant boys. They were
physically perfect. They were of Ameri-
can ancestry. Authoritative records
showed that the parents and grandparents
had been without mental or moral faint.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Hart did not adopt
them. They have since then found and
adopted a pair. but the twins that were
shown them at that home and which filled
the specifications in every particular were
not taken. For the infant boys were
