That the farmer is reaping a full
share of the common prosperity is
convincingly demonstrated in bull
letin just issued by the statistical
division of the Department of Agri-
culture. According to this document
it appears that the crops of wheat,
corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,
potatoes and hay in 1900 brought
their products a total return of
$1,861 1865 which is $1S6, 1885,
172 more than was received for the
output of the same staples in 1899.
With the exception of barley and
buckwheat, each of these products
commanded higher prices last year
than the year before. The greatest
advances were in corn and hay, the
latter bringing the farmers over
$33, 100000 more for a crop of
5O,OOO,OOO tons in 1900 than they
received for a crop of $685., 756
tons in 1899.

Letter to Geo. Williams.
st. IohnsburY, Vt.

Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, of
Syracuse painted his Thousand-Is
cottage in 90 with Devoe, and painted
it again in 80, with the same, of course.
Takes 80 gallons.
What does it last only seven years."
Depends on what you paint it for. No
one can tell how long a job of paint is
going to last in any particular case. The
paint may last ten years and the color
FIVE.
A summer cottage is painted for color,
of course; it is also painted to keep out
water, to keep it from rotting.
Seven years is good long time for
paint to look fresh--depends on the color
though; some colors last longer than
Others. Three is too long for some of the
prettiest colors. Nothing pays better, in
building a house, than a good Job of
paint; nothing pays better, in keeping it
up, than repainting as soon as the paint
shows signs of impairment. But this is
to keep it sound. For the looks you NAV
paint it whenever the freshness is of.
It's matter of color, not of paint.
Yours truly.
AZ F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Aeronaut Bonette Gets Wet.

The st. Adams Messenger, in speaking
OF one of c, c. Bonette's balloon ascen-
sions at St. Adams Bay last week says
prof. c. c. Bonette made another
thrilling balloon ascension and para
chute drop at the street railway park
at the Bay, last night, before large and
enthusiastic crowd. An additional piece
OF danger and daring was included in the
performance from the fact that the bal
loon, once liberated, scared away to a
height OF nearly three thousand feet and
hung directly over the lake, so that,
when the bold aeronaut cut loose with
his parachute, he fell into the cold waters
OF old Champlain, about quarter of a
mile from the dock. But this had been
anticipated from observation of the light
wind blowing, and boats had been sent
out to watch for him should he be
Obliged to make his descent while over
the water. The professor was quickly
PICKED up and brought back to the dock,
dripping wet from his plunge, and smiled
ana bowed his ackno wledgements to the
applause of the large audience waiting to
receive him. Without intending any sen.
sational advertising, it is only fair to
say that Professor Bonette's exhibition is
= altogether satisfactory, and one of the
most pleasing OF the attractions offered
at the park this summer"

Christian Science Lecture,

There will be free lecture on Chris
tian Science, in Music Hall Saturday
evening, Sept. 7, under the auspices of
First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this
place, to which the public is cordially
invited. The lecturer. Hon. William G.
Ewing OF Chicago, is a member of the
official board of Lectureship of The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
Judge Ewing is member of the Illinois
bar OF long standing and high attain
ments in his profession. In his youth
friend and admirer Of Abraham Lincoln,
who was frequent visitor at his faith
er's house, he early imbibed the exalted
views of life which so especially distin-
guished that truly great man and law
yer. To long and distinguished career
at the bar Judge Ewing added the cares
and responsibilities of official and judic-
ial duties. AS United States District
Attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois, under President Cleveland, he
acquitted himself with signal ability, and
with credit as we'll to himself as to the
government. AS a member OF the bench
OF the Superior Court of Cook County,
sitting in Chicago, he commanded
throughout his entire term the respect
and confidence alike of the bar, OF iti.
giants, and OF the public.
Because of the obligation he feels him
sell under to Christian Science for pre-
serving his life; because he knows il
his deepest consciousness that Chris
tian Science is the Christianity o
Christ in its best and most practi
cal expression, Judge Ewing declined
denomination to the bench arc
left his profession to devote his lif
thencetorth to the higher profession O
spreading the healing and saving Cos
pei OF Christ to waiting and need
world.

WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
National Convention.

The national president, Mrs. Mary L.
Carr, Longmont, Col, has issued an
order stating that the national conven'
ton of the Woman's Relief Corps will be
held in Cleveland, Ohio, September 9-14,
at the same time of the national 6. A. R.
encampment. From the official, report
of the department of Vermont, of which
Mrs. Sarah L. Hovey is president, we
CLEAN the following statistics: Number
of corps, II; number of members, 2, 1854;
cash expended for relief, $454.54; value
of relief other than money, $479.10.
District Conventions have been success
fully held in South Royalton, Lyndon
vile, Barton Landing, Hardwick, Essex
Junction, Putney, Montpelier and Wind
sor with an average attendance of IS.
Great interest is manifested in these
meetings and no doubt they will be per-
manently established in this state. Yer
mont headquarters in Cleveland will be
at the Colonial Hotel one of the best
hotels in the city. The w. R. c. will be
represented by Calista R. Jones, Brad
ford, Amanda T. Newcomb Montpelier

Gates, formerly of Morrisville, Eleanor
Arliss, Montreal, Mary Lyman, Rutland,
Mary Rising, Randolph, Stella Williams,
Wallingtord, Sarah F. Hovey, st. Johns
bury, and possibly few others.
Vermont has been favored many times
in having national officers, but this year
she expects to bring home the highest
honor that can be gi zen any state, that
OF national president. Rare executive
ability and true devotion to the cause Of
loyalty and patriotism, have won for
Calista R. Jones this most certain cleo
ton. Her candidacy has been quietly
advocated by prominent western ladies.
