In the death of R. ]. Humphrey,
which occurred at Poultney last
Wednesday, thenewspaper fraternity
of Vermont loses one of its best and
most highly esteemed members. For
many years at the head of the Poult-
ney Journal, he gave his constitu-
ency most excellent newspaper.
He always advocated that which
was for the best interest of his
community and also the State. In
that capacity he will certainly be
missed; but more than all else, as a
genial, whole-souled gentleman, with
kindly disposition, which led him to
be held in high regard by host of
friends, will he be missed by many.
The Vermont press has surely lost a
true and valued friend, and those
who personally knew Robert ].
Humphrey, greatly regret his demise.

[rench Bakers.

Bakers in France. are subject to re-
strictions and regulations undreamed
Of in England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law to have a certain stock of flour al
ways on hand in case of emergencies.
The bakery not only has to be kept
clean, but the baker has to deposit
with the local authorities a certain
sum Of money as a surety for the prop
er conduct of his business.
The law also looks after his weights
and measures, which circumstance
places him in the same position as the
British baker, but in addition the law
regulates the price at which bread can
be sold.
Napoleon III ordered on one occasion
that loaf about equal to our quaHtern
should be sold for not more than:s six
pence, and this at a time when we
were paying eightpence and ninepence.

horse turnd out Of the road, and the

SO as to abuse the judge. When he
found thar he could move neither to

come alongts tsolved the difficulty.
"My old lnarster," he asked, "what

"That's THE" said the judge, and he
acted as ad5ised. Thanking his deliv-

some changk, but he did not have any.
"Neyer m3nd, old man., he said Il

The old kegro was not impressed

One Look From 1t Explained His
Power Over Men.
In 1887, while working in London as
q curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, l
was called in my wears absence to adj
minister a religious service to an old
admiral in Eaton square. The admi-
VaPs name was Eden. After the Serv-
ice was over he took NY hand and
said: "Shake hands with me- young
man. There are not many alive who
can say what can say You are talk
ing with man who has talked to Ma
pOleOn the Great" Sir" | said. that
is history. May | hear mOre?" The
old admiral then told me that he WAS
once returning with the fleet think
from the West Indies. but of that am
not sure-and touched at st. helena
The admiral said, 81 am going up to
LOngwOOd to pay my respects to NapO-
leon. and the senior midshipman comes
with me-"
81 was the senior midshipman," said
the old gentleman, land so went. We
waited for Napoleon in an outer room,
and you must imagine how eagerly
expected his entrance. The door was
thrown open at last, and in he came
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, have never seen anything like it.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, and then l understood for the
first time in my life what was the
meaning Of the phrase, "A born ruler Of
men, 1 had been taught to hate the
French as hated the devil, but when
Napoleon looked at me there was such
power and majesty in his look that if
he had bade me lie down that he might
walk over me 1 would have done it at
once, English MILDLY though l was.
The look on Napoleon's face was the
revelation Of the man and the explana-
ton Of his power. He was born to
command"
Such was Admiral Eden's version to
me of an incident which at 90 years old
or thereabout seemed to him as fresh
as If it had happened only the day be-

devoted to rice and produce all the
rice that we consume in our entire
country. It is a common impression
that the production of rice is limited
to semi-tropical countries. This is an
error. There are varieties OF rice that
will mature as far north as Boston.
Again, rice is one of the most certain
crops of all the grain family. With
proper conditions, the crop is almost
absolutely sure. Consequently, it is the
cereal to be used in countries Of dense
populations. It is reasonable to con-
clude that rice will bear a more i'm
portant mission in the support of our
people in the future than it has in the
past, and it is exceedingly necessary to
obtain the best varieties of riceS, those
that are the most nutritive, have the
highest value and are the most profit
able for production"
The object of the Rice Association Of
America in establishing the rice kit
chen at the Pan-American Exposition
was to impress the public with the fact
that rice can be used so advantageous
ly with the common foods of our peO-
pie that it will materially add to the
healthfulnesS of those who consume it.
1t will improve their digestion, in
crease their vigor, and will be found
generally economical. 1t is especially
valuable for people engaged in seden-
tary pursuits, as its digestion is so
slight tax on the digestive organs. It
seemed necessary that we should have
an ocular demonstration of the value
of rice, because in a large proportion
of the United States rice is considered
simply a dessert, whereas the great
value of rice is as a staple food, and
should be useu as a substitute for pO-
tatOes and for other carbOnaceOus
foods. l am greatly gratified with the
success the rice kitchen has attained,
and with the generous patronage that
is given it by the public. The plan
upon which the rice kitchen is organ
lied is that of an American home with
such foods as the masses of the people
primarily use and find nutritious and
healthful. 1t is the purpose to mingle
rice with these foods, either as an en-
tire dish or as component part of the
dish, to season and cook in the best
way and serve in good form, so as to
demo 1strate what a home can do in
the consumption of rice. In this par
ticularly the American Association has
been singularly fortunate in the selec-
Ion of it's managers. Col. Eggleston,
the general manager, is man of wide
experience in business and in hotel
work. Miss Ella Whitley Gould, ma

ling of the grain could not be exer-
ciSed as was formerly the case by the
hand process. AS a result, the break
age in the milling of the rice was a
large item, creating a loss of from
twenty to forty per cent. in the grolS
value of the product. Three years ago
the Department of Agriculture at
tempted to remedy this difficulty by
means of the importation of rices bet
ter adapted to cultivation under the
machinery plan. We introduced va
riety of the Japanese riceS known as
the Kiushu. This almost entirely rem
edied the difficulty that had formerly
prevailed. The result was so graft
flying to the Department that am now
going again to see what riceS can be
found in the old world that may be
still better adapted to Tie rice belt of
the South.
81 have also a mission to secure
other plants advantageous to the Unit
ed States, and particularly any legum-
inous plants for forage purposes. 1t is
a part of my mission 70 go to the Phil
ippines IN the interest of forage crops
for our cavalry and draft animals in
those islands. All the forage for the
support of these animals has been and
is still exported from the United States
at an approximate cost of $1,300,000
The Philippine islands are we'll ad-
apted to the production of forage, and
it is only necessary to introduce the
right varieties of grasses and get them
started under proper auspices to pro-
4duce all the hay and green fodder re-
,Ouired. Then l anticipate visiting In.
.dia and other rice producing cOuntrie:

States, and has classified them as far
as recognized. The anopheles and the
culex are the most common of the
American mosquitoes, and of these
the latter are supposed to exceed in
number. Yet the anOpheles is the more
dangerous, for this species is supposed
to be the one which gorges on the
blood Of malarial persons to convey the
parasite to healthy victims, thus inocu-
lating them. They can be easily us
tinguished when captured. If the an
tennae are densely covered with long
hairs, the specimen is a male and can
be safely released with the assurance
that he has never bitten anyone. On
the other hand, should the hairs be
short and sparse it is a female and
bitter. Should there be a yellowish
white spot near three-fOurths of the
length of the front margin of the wing,
or should the palpi be wholly black,
it is the deadly anophele, the distribU-
tor of malarial germs and the disturber
of peaceful nights. In any case, it is
good idea, in case of doubt, to Slay
first and investigate afterwards.
A very curious and Wierd story, pub
lished in the August number Of the
--Ocket Magazine, is arOusing a good
deal of attention in this part of the
country. 1t is called "a Kentucky
Scarab, and turns on the identity Of
the ordinary tumble-bug,so well known
to every country boy, with the far
famed Egyptian Scarabs, which were
an object Of worship so many thou
sand years ago. The story, whlIe COM
paratively short, is yet long enough to
permit the inclusion of some interest
ing and characteristic scenes of Ken
lucky life.
Albert o. Wright, supervisor o. In
