St. Johnsbury Academy.

The election some while ago of Judge
Stafford, an Episcopalian, as trustee of
St. Johnsbury Academy, marks and seals
a change of decided Importance in that
board. The original deed of trust under
which the property of the Academy was
held, while directing that the school
should not be sectarian, required that all
the trustees should be Congreg ational-
lists. Desiring to avoid any thing de-
nomina tional, the trustees have for
several years, welcomed at all their
meetings, the participation of the CO.
operative committee elected by the alum
nj. But the limitation fixed by the deed
has prevented the election to the board
OF some desirable men. The feeling has
been that the selection of trustees should
be determined by business and educa ton
al rather than ecclesiastical considera-
tions. All the heirs OF the founders and
original donors shared that feeling, and
after learning what could be done legally
to effect the object, all of them with the
utmost cordiality joined in executing a
new deed to replace the DID, making pos
sible hereafter the election to the board Of
men not Congregationalists.
The management OF the school is in
sympathy with the most advanced edu-
cational movements; it aims distinctly
at intellectual and moral discipline, cul-
ture and character building; it's tradi-
tions, spirit and equipment fit it for
doing the very best work both for pupils
of every class who may come from other
towns and for our village students.

two touch-downs but failed at the goals.
In,the second half Pierce carried the ball

the school directors have closed the fifth

stamp out at once any further spread of
this disease.

the opera house open for the later cleo

Place this on wet marble or plate; it

cooked remove it from the fire and add
the sweetened egg and whatever flavor

Stir, and it will rise the second time.
AS it does so, pour it into the frame
and let it remain until cold. Remove
by passing string or palette knife
under it. Break in pieces. Success de-

sHp DIDN'T LIKE HIS LOOKS
Turned Harrington Out OF
His Own House.

Harrington had spent three weeks
in New York on business. When he
returned he drove directly to his
house and rang the door bell. A new
servant girl answered the ring.
'Is Mrs. Harrington in? he asked.
"No, SIR" answered the girl.
"Well, 1 guess I'll wait for her."
said the master of the house and he
put his foot over the threshold and
into the hallway.
Excuse me, sir" said the girl, 'sbut
no ones at home. I can't allow stran-
gers to wait in the house."
Harrington took in the humor of
the situation. "All right" he an
swered, with smile. Just tell Mrs.
Harrington that a relative called"
and he went away.
A half hour after his departure his
wife returned. HAS anyone called %
she asked of the girl.

"Did he leave his card"
mo, ma'am; he said he was a rela-
tive, but he looked more like an agent
for cleaning powder than a relative.
He wanted to walk inside, but didn' t
like his looks, so I didn't let him in
"Quite right" remarked Mrs. Har-
rington. ut is just as well to be care
full. Besides, / have no male relative
who is likely to call at this time of
day"
Mrs. Harrington barely had her
wraps off before her husband, who
had whiled away his time at the bar
ber's, put in his appearance again.
"Has Mrs. Harrington returned
yet?" he asked of Ella, who answered
the ring.
Eyes, sir; she just got in.''
"Hand her my card, if you please
he said. II think she'll remember
me"
Mrs. Harrington stepped out of the
dining-room just as her husband, fol-
lowed closely by the servant girl,
moved out Of the vestibule and into
the hall.
"Why," she cried, "when did you
get in?''
The servant girl misunderstood the
meaning of this exclamation. ''He
got in when I wasn't looking, ma'am, u
she said. "He goes out ag'in now, ii

BOOK AGENT IN HARD LUCK.
His Instructions for the Benefit O
Drowning Men Did Not
Work Well.

I'm through" said the book agent,
YEARLY. give notified the house that
they may no longer expect me to
risk my life handling their goods.
For the last 80 days have been tour
ing the state with universal COM

one other things that every man should

eled on my. wheel, and that enabled
me not only to work the small towns,
but the surrounding country as well.
One day I CHANGED to call upon an
old farmer. I tried to get him inter-
ested in the great work that I was
handling, but without success until l
showed him the chapter on drowning;
then I saw that had him. There was
n small lake near where the boys went
swimming and the old man lived in
fear that some one would get
drowned.
"Well, when I showed him how
made sale. It was hot day, so /
accepted an invitation from the old
mans sons to go in swimming with
them. I was hardly in the water
when I was seized with a cramp. 1
shipped a good deal of water, but
l managed to reach the shore without
much trouble, although I was greatly
exhausted. While I was gasping for
breath the old man came running up
with the book that I had sold him.
Finding the chapter OH drowning he
read the directions to his sons and
told them to go ahead. Before I knew
what was going to happen I was
seized by two of his husky~sons and
hung up by the heels and pounded
on the back until all the breath was
knocked out of me. Then I was rolled
over barrel and pounded again; then
a bellows was jammed down nv
throat and I was pumped so full OF
wind that I thought I would burst.
They tried every fool idea that was
in the book, and it was only owing
to sound constitution that 1 lived

MOVING ROYAL sEPULCHER
The Cofnned Ashes Of British mon.
archs Carried on Like
Common Clay.

The wear 1899 will become a notable
.one in the annals of British royalty
as marking a phenomenal rafting
among the dry bones of past mon
archs. The collins with the remains
of George III, George w., William
w.. the duke Of Kent, the duke OF
York. Princes Octavius and Alfred
(children of George Ill have been re-
moved from Westminster Abbey; the
duchess of Brunswick, Princesses
Charlotte and Elizabeth children OF
william IVY, Queen Charlotte. Prin-
cess Charlotte, Princess Amelia. Queen
Adelaide, Princess Augusta. King
George ~. of Hanover, and, last OF
all, the present duchess of York's
mother, the duchess of Teck, are be-
ing moved from where they lay to
make room for these who must inev-
itably follow in the years that are to
come.
The royal sepulcher, which is situ-
ated directly beneath St. Georges
chapel, and the royal memorial chapel
at Windsor castle, is one of the places
to which no member of the public is
ever admitted. Some one of the royal
family may pay an occasional visit;
some few, very few, privileged per-
sons have at times been known to
have had their curiosity satisfied, but
from the public eye the place is kept
secret. Even by those who have been
permitted to descend the stairs and
pass through the gates into the pres
ence of the royal dead the visit could
not be called inspiring.
First of all, there was the getting
down-no easy matter even with the
required permission; and there is no
wonder the visitors were few, except
when the sepulcher had to be opened
to receive a new inmate.
The bottom gained, nothing more
was visible for time but the heavy
gloom, all the more weird by the dim
light given by the two sickly candles
and the lantern carried by the watch
man. Gradually, as the eyes accus-
toned themselves to the light, or,
rather, the darkness, one began to dis
tinguish massive octagonal pillars,
supporting what seemed to be a vault
ed roof. Down the center ran a long
stout table and round the sides some
shelves, upon which rested strange
dark things that did not in the gloom
look what they really were-the COT
fins containing the dust and ashes OF
long since departed royalties.-Chica-
go Chronicle.
