A Lady Highly Honored.

Miss Mary Williams Montgomery has
just received from the University of Ber-
lin the degree of Doctor of Oriental Learn.
ing, an honor never before given a woman
by that great university. She was born
in Turkey 81 years ago and is the daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. Giles F. Montgom-
cry, for many years devoted missionaries
of the American Board at Adana, Turkey
They came to st. Johnsbury about Is
years ago to educate their children and
Miss Montgomery entered our public
schools, where she is recalled by many as
an exceptionally brilliant scholar. She
was graduated from the New Haven high
school in '92, from Wellesley College in
'96 and after the death of her mother,
whom she had assisted as teacher at
Adana, she went to Berlin to study in
the university there, where one of her
brothers was student She has become
proficient in Turkish, Assyrian and sever
al Semitic languages. Her thesis was on
documents OF the time of Hammurabi,"

reigned some two thousand or more
years before Christ. Her St. Johnsburv

Boxer Banner Captured.

The many friends here of Robert E
Lewis, former Y. NJ. c. A. Secretary
now Of Shanghai, China, will be inter
ested in the story of his capture of the
Boxer banner, as told in the Pittsbure
Index:
In the Chinese Y. M. c. A. at Shang-
hal is large red banner upon which are
SeWed numerous white letters. The ban
ner was so striking that your cores
pondent asked Robert E. Lewis, the
general secretary, how he obtained it.
Mr.. Lewis has been with the American
troops in all their leading engagements
in North China acting as chaplain and
doing humanitarian work among the
soldiers. The hard work and privations
finally told on his health, and he is Just
recovering from protracted illness.
Mr.. Lewis had many close calls but
one of the most serious was connected
with the capture OF the banner. One of
the most important cities captured by
the allies on their march to Pekin was
Tung Chow. This city was afterwards
used as base for operations on Pekin.
NIL LEWIS was dHOuS LHc uISl 10 G0LeT
the city. His first idea was to rescue the
American missionaries, and squirting his
horse, be galloped down the street lead
ing to the mission. Filled with his plan,
he did not notice that he was all alone.
Suddenly he found his way blocked by
hundreds of Chinese troops, all armed
with good Mauser rifles. They were
guarding the Yamen. Mr.. Lewis felt
that his last hour had come, but he re-
solved to sell his life as dearly as pos
sible. Setting spurs to his horse, he gal.
loped straight towards the standard
bearer, firing right and leh into the mob
The suddenness of his attack and his
determined stand seemed to unnerve the
soldiers. They hesitated for a moment
and then became panic stricken and fell
back. Mr.. Lewis snatched the banner
from the color bearer, wheeled his horse,
and galloped back without receiving
scratch. The banner was that of the
Boxer general stationed at Tung Chow,
and it is almost needless to say that Mr..
Lewis prizes it highly"

Wesley Sargent, and renewing old ac-
quaintances in this vicinity.
Sam Piper, who recently gave up his
job at the scale shops, has rented the
grist mill at this place, and expects soon

and a medley by the chorus. Prizes
were given to the one who guessed the
most, and also the least songs, as rep
resented by the children on the stage.
Refreshments of cake aud ice cream were
served.
A surprise awaited George Morrill, one
morning this week when he went to the
barn and found his favorite horse in the
cellar, having gone through the floor
during the night. The horse came out
somewhat bruised but no bones broken.

Midland Railway Company.

It4ooks very much now as though the
route from Motrisville to the Eden mines,
soon to be chartered under the above
name, and in which E. H. Blossom, now
of Morrisville, is interested, would be a
success. The company was organized
Thursday, more than enough names hav.
ing been secured. Eden realizes the nee.
essity of this move and the town will
probably take some action in regard to
it. Citizens of Morrisville have SUBJ
scribed literally, the shares being $500
each, 1t was voted Thursday to have
nine directors and five were elected.
Among this number are Judge H. H.
Powers and E. H. Blossom of Morris
vile and M. E. Tucker of Hardwick. 1t
is thought the business matters will
move right along and officers be elected
as soon as majority of directors can be
got together and charter secured.

The Ruggles Street Quartette.

Mondays Boston Transcript gives an
interesting account of the disbandment
of the Ruggles Street Quartette of Bos-
ton, which was so long supported by the
bene6cence of the late Daniel S. Ford,
the owner of the Youths Companion.
This quartette has been in existence for
% years and was one of Boston's best
known musical organizations. St. Johns
bury people were especially interested in
its welfare as for the last ten years or
more the bass in the organization has
been DR.. George R. Clarke, so pleasantly
remembered here and so well kno wn in
the musical circles of New England
Three members of the quartette, includ.
ing DR.. Clarke, attribute their individual
musical success to instruction received in
| Boston. DR.. Clarke has home in Wav.
! land and is successful dentist.

Egyptian Curiosities.

The Museum has had some valuable
additions in curiosites brought from
Egypt by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Brooks,
on their return from their recent trip to
that country. Among the many curious
pieces are a Dervish milk cooler which
seems to be combination of a gourd and
a closely woven fibre, which are water
tight and are used for holding both milk
and water; a prettily designed woven
fibre bread basket and bright colored
woven food tray are from Wadi Halfa;
a very attractive display of necklaces
from Assouan and Wadi Halfa, which were
the tarthest points reached on the Nile.
These are worn by the natives to ward
off the evil eye and sometimes constitute
the largest part of tteir dress. Two
Jlbber Dervish coats are specially in
teresting when it is known that each
Dervish has only one coat in his lifetime
and the more patches and mending il
shows the more valuable the coat is, anC
if he is warrior it shows more service i
it is well covered with patches. Thes,
coats are from Khartoum. There ar,
two Dervish musical instruments O
peculiar construction which will still pro
duce some musical sounds; amonl
smaller but interesting things are ;
leather charm, sling, sample of golt
sand, and pieces OF flint, Dervish pipe
and dirk from Kalabsheh. Anon,
some weapons that were picked up OF
the Khartoum battle field are an old gul
with copper mountings, several spear
and two swords.
This makes a very valuable addition t.
the already numerous and interestin
curios with which our Museum is YER
fortunate in being supplied.

Letter to E. n. Brunette,
St. LohnsburY, VI,

Dear Sir: Most painters insist that
lead and oil is good for three years; but
they also insist that it needs going over
again in three years. 1t is as much as to
say it's good job of paint that lasts
three years.
Which is true; and better that lasts
six years. Lead and oillasts three; Devoe
lead and zinc lasts six.
When paint begins to let in water,
then is the time to repaint. 1t may be
one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil
lasts three, if well put on; lead and zinc
lasts six if ground together and we'll put
on. But painters are better acquainted
with lead than with zinc. Zinc is newer.
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper mix
ture, ground in oil by machinery; same
proportions as used by the U. S. Govern
ment.
Yours truly,
81 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. Flint Bros. sell our paint in
your section.

Good Prospects for a New Company.

Ranney & Cady have advices from the
the Reece Folding Machine Co. that they
have just received another large order
for machines and that the factory now
has more orders booked than they can
possibly fill this year without large in-
crease in the capacity of the factory.
The working force has already been
increased and the output to four ma
chimes per week. There is no daubt now
as to the success of the machines and
their value as effecting large saving in
the cost of manufacturing collars and
cults, This is shown by the large de-
mand for the machines and the large
orders the company has from such Troy
factories as the United States Shirt and
Sollar Co, Cluett, Peabody & Co.,
Earle & Wilson and many others.

 He laughed till his sides shook and tears ran down his face. I waited till he had quietcd down.

The Life Line Tn Ones Hand.

There are three prominent lines in the palm-the line of life. that of the head and the heart line.
 The line of life begins on the inner boundary of the palm. about midway between the thumb and the forefinger. If we imagine the left hand to be q map. with tEe fingers pointing north. this line runs toward the southeast, then curves toward the south and In some hands curves finally toward the southwest. It thus skirts the base or 'uprlse" of tue thumb. known as the upr!se of Venus If 1t Is deep broad. of good color and extends nearly or quite 10 the wrist and If the rest of the hand indicates vitality and cheerful ness. the subject may be expected 10 live to a green old age; he has good dispo- sition and the qualities which good health and good temper usually create.

CONSOLATION AND COMFORT.

Who is it that does not wish to 6e out in the open air or alive in some field of sport, whether it be with the bat. rod. or gun; whether We go coasting over the hills and wales on the wheel. or sailing over rough waves or into serene coves, it is all sport, and the springing muscles seem to need 1t. It Is bound 10 happen that some mishap will occur. Thus 1t is that we have sprains in abundance; light sprains. sprains that cripple. sprains that give great pain. sprains that rob us of sleep, but s~ortsmen of all kinds have come to know that there is nothing better than the old reliable St. Jacobs Oil. Have 1t with you for use; you may rely on its cure of the worst sprain and restoration to the comforts of life.

How to Down Mites

Get sprInkllng pot. Put In it some Kerosene. Add a small quantity of carb3lic acid. Sprinkle your nest boxes inside and out Sprinkle ground underneath nest boxes Put in fresh straw. Don't put any oil on that. as lt will lnjure eggs if it comes ln contact with them Sprinkle your hen house. walls and floor and roof Examine the sctters every day or two. Put your hand under the setters. Look at your hand. lf you see mites on your hand take the hen off and burn out the nest. Sprinkle the nest and put in clean straw. Wash eggs in warm water and replace them in the nest. Dust hen with insect powder and replace. 1T you have another hen that wants to set and Is not infested with yermin bet ter let her lnikh her job. and put in- fested hen in a coop. sprinkled with oil until the vermin leaves her.
 The frst mites of the season usually appear on the faces of the setters; that Is. the bare portion of the hens head. For these first corners use mixture or about one teaSpOOntul or Vasellne 10 three drops of oil pennyroyal. Rub just d little all over the face, comb, earlobes and wattles. Do this at night SO the grease will dry out before the hen turns her eggs again. Grease or oil of any kind will injure eggs for matching. Sprinkle houses, coops. nest boxes, roosts and any other place where there is danger of vermin, and remember to put in fresh nesting ma terial frequently. This Is the only way I know how to down mites, v and If faithfully followed will do 1t. R. Whitefield in Southern Cultiva- tor

 MT. Frank A. Means, a well-known farmed of Reeisville Mifiin county, Pa, writes:
 "I had the grip and as a result my nerves broke down. lost the entire use of the lower half of my body. For whole year lay In bed perfectly helpless with no power in either limb and the feeling gone so that couldn't feel pin run Into my legs at all l couldn't turn over In bed without help. Six doctors gave me up and said It was only question of a few weeks with me as nothing more could be done Then n friend sent me a pamphlet containing statements of two men who had been afflicted something like me and who had been cured by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I began taking them at once and al- though my improvement was slow It was certain.
