Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
ork explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that it Is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar CLAIMS
are made, but a great many do not know why
The simple reason Is that Mr.. Major uses the
manufacturers do not use them, because they
are too expensive and do not allow large
profits. MIR. Major tells Us that one of the
elements of his cement costs 1913 n pound,
and another costs - IS gallon, while n large
share of the SO called cements and liquid
glue upon the market, are nothing more than
sixteen cent glue, Dissolved in water or citrc
acid, and in some cases, alterated slightly in
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought TO make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
amounts to over $4,000 month. through the
country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
offhand advice from Il druggist.
II you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are good deal more so
than you imaglne) you can repair your rub
Der boots and family shoes, and any other
Rubber Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you Will be surprised at how many
dollars year you will thus save.

stranger within their gates. Among civ
ilized populations this antagonism seldom
goes far enough to produce unpleasant
consequences; but in China, in Kafiir
and Zulu land, in FOrmosa, in Java. in
the Sudan, in India and in the Philip
pines we find the native kept in subjec-
ton only by the field gun and the maya
zine rifle. When the Chinaman sees the
Caucasian intent on getting control of
his markets in which to sell him western
manufactures. he does not try to break
the commercial chains that are being
woven around around him; but when he
sees his home demolished, his fireside
gods scattered and his ancestors graves
uprooted to accommodate railroad that
he does not want. what wonder that he
should regard all foreigners as his OPP
pressors and deadly foes? When to these
actual causes for hatred is added a super
stitious fear of the foreigners purpose in
coming to the orient. is it strange that
the Chinaman should feel that it was
high time he drove them all out of China ::
But now comes the sequel to all the
war-like preparations that have been
made in the west. The nations that have
beed so ready to divide China among
themselves cannot agree as to the best
method of meeting and conquering their
common foe. They seem fully as
likely to engage in death grapple
among themselves as to unite for the
conquest of the despsed Chinaman. 1t
is fortunate that the people of China are
not of an aggressive type. They are not
the best warriors and they have not the
spirit of nationality or of conquest. The
great danger of the hour is the clash of
| interests between two or more Of the
western nations. The devil of unrest is
rampant in many countries. The sense
of self-mportance and the curse of false
pride are poisoning the hearts of the rul-
| ing classes. Not only are they greedy
to get, but they are envious of the pos
sessions of others.
In these circumstances It would not be
strange if the close of the nineteenth cen
fury should witness a struggle for the
supremacy of the western wOrld.-Chi-

G.. Il. Andrews and wife have a cOlleC-
ton of old bills and coins that is probab-
ly unsurpassed in Washington county, if
indeed in the whole state. Among the
lot is what is called a continental dollar
bill; it is about one-half the size of the
present day bill and on the front Of it are
printed the words 1.-The Bearer In enti-
! tied to receive One Spanish Dollar or an
equal amount in Gold or Silver according
to a Resolution Of Congress of the 18th
of Jan. 1892 The number mark of the
| bill is faded but the seal is visible togeth-
er with the Latin words Depressa Resur-
| git. In the collection are cents dating
back to nearly 1900, many of which are
much larger than the cent pieces in circu
| latiOn today. Their one-cighth. one
quarter and one.half farthing peices are
| probably as small specimens of coined
money as are in existence; the eighth
/ farthing piece is very little larger rhan
one eighth of cent. One foreign piece
was coined in 1890, while there is also AN
American silver dollar Of date l11J. three
years after the Declaration of lndcpend-
ence: on one side If has l3 stars. the
eagle. f Plurihus Unum and United
States of America, while the eagle with
its talons IS grasping a bundle of arrows
and the olive branch. On the reverse
side again appears the ID stars and the
usual lady and the date. In place of the
present time mi.led edge are the words
lone Dollar. Unit 100 cents The re-
naming space is filled 10y the - stars,
| thus making three times they appear.
Among others is a Spanish miled dollar
that Mr.. Andrews father paid to his
grandfather toward Il yoke of cattle: it
was coined somewhere along in 1000,

With all youths lofty promise uufulnlled,

with love unlived, and dreams half dreamed

A. willard of Hartford. n. Y, recent
ly gave some interesting "reminiscences
of old time postal days. He formerly
lived in Fair Haven and in ISIS, at the
age of II years, was employed sassist-
ant postmaster in the town. At that
time a route ran from Poultney through
Hampton, Fair Haven, and other towns,
to Vergennes, distance of about 80
miles. The mail was carried on horse
back by a young man who started from
Poultney early every other day. In
those days the rates of postage were 6
cents, 10 cents, 12t cents, Is cents and p
cents and were not prepaid. A little
later Mr.. Willard was employed in West
Haven. In the month of June he went
to Fair Haven and returned, in sleigh,
snow having fallen the night before.
His fathers corn was up six inches but
1t survived, and produced good crop.

WHEN YOU AND I WE'RE BOYS

For The Tribune.
Recently VIC read in the College News,
An article or two
Oi class and literary work
That students ought TO DO.
One time there v as M need of tins,
No urging that annoys--
Ba,c ball and foot neglected were,
When you and | were boys.
The diamond most sought after tncn,
Was jewel Of great price;
Not the on of the present age,
Leading to crime and vice
But Tacitus and IIomor's songs
Afforded healthfu joys
That never knocked an optic out,
When you and were boys.
And they were very earnest players,
Who played an honest game,
And moved along from base to base,
While on the way to fame.
Points were scored and home runs made,
Triumphs without alloys,
For the college curriculum was the game,
When you and | were boys.
1t was geometry that determined
rhc course Of moving spheres,
Not the uncouth boorish sports
OF these sad later years
Our playthings were mathematics,
Not merely idle toys.
We never failed to win the games,
When you and | were boys
All, ne! Indeed, how times have changed,
Since you | were young,
When Virgil and the lliad
We're on every students tongue.
Now fame is sought by tackling,
And making a bowling noise,
But the "Gridiron' was for broilng meat,
When you and | were boys .
Boys were rated by what they did
In class room and in hall,
Ere frizzled heads began to bloom
And time spent playing ball.
No rIshcs then to right or left,
Could change our equpoise;
Our hair was parted on the side,
When you and | were boys,
