The Quakers have always been oh .
acterized by their untiring care In
relieving the suffering Of their own
poor, and are hospitable, sweet-spirited
and gentle people. They universally
wear plain, unobtrusive clothing, not so
much for uniformity, as to escape the
ever-changing fashions in dress.
Their honesty and verscity is well
known. Hence this letter will be read
with interest by all GLASSES.
Could any words be more to the point
could any evidence be more convincing,
than the above persuasive, direct, sim
cere letter. Systemic catarrh is q con-
dition in which chronic catarrh has per-
vaded the whole system. Catarrh first
begins by localizing itself in some one
or more organs of the body, but very
soon 1t shows tendency to spread to
other organs. II it is not checked, the
whole system becomes invaded by this
insidious disease.
When catarrh has reached this stage,
Of course 1t has gone beyond the reach
of all local remedies.
Nothing but systemic remedy can
reach 1t.
Peruna is the only remedy yet devised
to meet such cases.
Peruna eradicates catarrh from the
system.
Itdoes its work quietly, but surely.
It cleanses the mucous membranes Of
the whole body.
Itproduces regular functions.
Peruna restores perfect health in .
natural way.

Down with the Cow-i;oarder.

There are two varieties of cows. Note
carefully: |. The COW that gives more
than she eats. ,. The COW that eats
more than she gives. Which variety
would you prefer in making up dairy
herd? Which variety do YOU actually
have? Now there is no difficulty about
telling the cow of one class from the COW
of the other. There used to be: but
there isn't now. The Babcock test does
1t. The apparatus consists of small
scale, BabcOck test, and little gump-
ton. By testing each COW separately a
man can soon tell which ones are paying
a profit and which are mere boarders.
When feed is scarce and high, as it is in
some parts of Vermont, dairymen will
find it more than usually necessary to
weed out the boarders. Most creameries
will make the tests for patrons free or at
nominal cost. The Vermont eXperi-
ment station will make the analysis free
when requested, if samples be properly
taken. Or the dairyman can make the
test for himself with the apparatus de-
scrlbed above. It is not necessary to
weigh the milk of each COW every time
she is MIXED, nor to test as often as a
creamery does. 1t may be weighed but
two or three days month. Sampling
and testing may be done only twice a
year, but the samples must be taken
properly and at the right times to amount
to much. When the COW is about four to
six months along in milk, two composite
samples should be taken. The average
of these will generally be closely like the
average which would result from fire.
quent sampling The milk weights, null
tiplied by 10 or by 10, as the case may
be, will give an approximation to the
milk yield and the pounds of milk null
tiplIed by the percent of fat and divided
by six will give close idea of the
pounds of butter the COW will make.

FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW,

BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW,
1t is strikingly significant that since
the agitation of the proposed substitu-
ton of license for the prohibition law as
a means of restricting the traffic in in
toxicating liquor began in connection
with the present session of the legislature
and people have inquired regarding the
operation of different systems in other
states, a marked change in sentiment has
taken place among some of those who
advocate a change in our liquor legisla
ton. Inquiring among business men in
communities in other states that sub
stituted license for no license shows that
class to be opposed more than ever to
the legalizing of the traffic in intoxicat-
ing beverages.
Business men have discovered that
where the open saloon prevails, those
who patronize the same have less money
to spend among merchants and other
business men than they had when the
saloon was under the ban of the law. 1t
has been demonstrated that merchants
have far larger proportion of bad debts
among the laboring classes when the
liquor saloons flourish under the sanction
of law and are free to ply their democrat
iZing trade than with no license prevail
ing. 1t follows as a matter of course
that these classes have less money to
spend for the necessaries of life, for their
wives and children, and for those things
which go so largely to make the differ
ence between true home and the bare
house which is often by courtesy called
a home.
This is the point of view from which
certain business men in Burlington, for
a time ardent advocates of change in
our liquor legislation, have come to re-
gard the question, and their conclusion
will undoubtedly be reached by others
when they thoroughly investigate the
matter.
The discovery that some of the brewers
are represented by paid lobbyists at
Montpelier during the present session of
our legislature, is also leading some of
our people to inquire why the liquor
interests are going to this trouble and
expense to do away with the Injunction
law and the removal of other barriers
against the saloon, If they do not expect
to enjoy the profits of an increased traffic
under the change. These are questions
which the members of the legislature can
consider and answer for themselves. If
the business men whom we have Just
quoted are correct, the struggle is not
alone one of public morality and of law
and order, but looked at from business
standpoint, is a conflict of interests be-
tween ordinary business on the one hand
and on the other the brewers and retail
liquor dealers and others who desire
larger liquor traflic.-Burlingto Free

WoMEN's ENVIRONMENTS.


The Increase of facilities for the higher
education of women has had its natural
result in somewhat overcrowding the
vocatiOns which educated women de-
pendent on their own resources ordinarily
seek. Hundreds of young women grad
yates every year swell the number of
those who are looking for employment.
Teaching is the first resort of most of
them; but there is a limit to the number
of teachers who can find schools, and
every year the number of those who,
having cheerfully registered at the
teachers agencies, find no openings Of
fered to them, increases. A few years
ago the librarians profession seemed a
promising outlet for feminine intelligence
and industry, but, like the earlier voca-
tons, that also is becoming oyercrowded

veloped, that of the genealogist. A good

they have genealogical tree which is

THE POWER OF FASHION.

It's simple thing of itself and yet
behind it is hidden more than was in Ho-
ratios philosophy. We refer to this
paragraph, which we found in the choice
colums of contemporary
skirts are to be again bouflant at the bot
tom, but the trail has gone. This Is probably
only for II change. Man need not flatter him.
self that his ceaseless talk about cleanliness
and microbes has had anything to do with
fashions mandate.
We infer from the first part of the par
agraph that skirts will puff out at the
bottom; that the skirt will be bell
shaped. But the dressmaker's use of
French is only less rebelious and indie
pendent than the dressmaker's attitude
toward man. Which brings US to the
second and more important point.
The Alsatans say very truly that "the
man of the house is a nominal ruler"
About year ago, here and abroad,
scientists and philosophers-men all
men-inveighed solemnly against the
further existence of the long or trailing
skirt. We remember that notable
champion of the reform was our dis
tinguished medical contemporary in
London, The Lancet. Previous to that
time women, the devotees of fashion
themselves, had generally agreed to use
a short skirt In bad weather, This, we
believe, was a spontaneous feminine
movement, based wholly on desire for
comfort. 1t had nothing to do with the
hygienic reformation,
In the past year the medical crusaders
have flattered themselves that fashion
was yielding. They have seen the short
skirt grow more and more popular:
they have seen it widespread on fair
days as well as on foul, and, poor, de-
luded wights, they have fancied that the
victory was theirs.
Let them be disilusoned ''Man need
not flatter himself that his ceaseless
talk about cleanliness and microbes has
had anything to do with fashions man
date" How could man have been so
presumptuous or so innocent? Fashion
is the only absolute monarch left on
earth-Boston journal.

Change in otter Creeks Channel.

At point on East creek about quart
er of mile above its junction with Otter
creek a breakwates is being constructed
by f. Chaflee's sons for the purpose of
protecting the meadow land, which they
purchased several months ago from the
Plerpont estate, from being eaten away
by the water of the creek. At this point
the present channel leaves its former
course of the creek and takes sharp
curve toward the west and runs in a
sem-circle before it returns to the former
course. Here it has worn away the land
little at time until over an acre is of
little value. The breakwater begins at
the point where the creek leaves the old
channel and extends at present about $50
feet in southwesterly direction. 1t will
be extended fully as far again before the
work is completed. The breakwater Is
made of thick trunks of trees firmly
braced, in front of which large rocks are
being placed. The work is being done
so thoroughly that 1t Will undoubtedly

of the creek during the spring freshets,
when the most damage to the land is
usually done. The newly constructed
bank is about FIVE feet high.
