the following: "The first person to
make the ascent of Pixies Peak during
the twentieth century is Walter Human
of Roslindale, Mass, a guest at the
Grand View. Walking to the Peak and
back is no easy task even during the
months of July or August. To 60 in
March, before trails or railway tracks
are opened, is an undertaking from
which most people would shrink. He
made the round trip in nine and one-half
hours" Mr.. Human is a grandson Of
R. S. Human of this place.

Milk War Ended.

The milk war which ragged between the
producers and contractors of Boston's
milk supply ended Thursday in victory
for the producers. Their first demand
was for 80 cents a can straight but the
final agreement was for 81 cents for a
can of eight and one halt quarts, and the
surplus system is a thing of the past.
Another feature of the victory is that un.
der the new arrangement the farmers
have a voice in fixing the price of their
product where formerly it was entirely
in the hands of the contractors.

''The great fault" says a decorator
who has the courage of his art, that
find in the average home is its con-
glomerateness. This begins with the
walls, that ought to be fowered and
spotty about one time in a hundred and
which are so 90 times in the same
count A safe rule to be followed by
the rank and file of furnishers is that
of plain walls. The spotty effects are
sure to creep in before the furnishings
are done and are less inartistic if
against a plain background.
I'VE still get too much in our houses,
forgetting every day the important ba-
sic principle of successful furnishing
viz. the useful thing beautiful in its
suggestion of service and the beautiful
thing really artistically beautiful and
then not interfered with. A bit of del
icate ivory carving has no place
against a massive vase of Egyptian
pottery. Use one or the other and
leave either to work out unmolested its
work of pleasing effect. A tumble of
woods and materials, too, in fittings
and furniture is detestable. Oak, cher
ry, marble, onyx and wicker in designs
of colonial, empire and half a dozen
| other periods mingled suggest discord
| and restlessness rather than the har-
| mony and peace that should be in ey-
cry room.''-Buffalo Express

The Romance of ouintne,

How many of those who fully realize
the value of quinine are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1898 Donna Ana, the
beautiful wife of Don Luis Geronimo
Fernandez de Cabrera Bobadilla
Mendoza, fourth count of Chinchona
and governor of the Spanish province
of Peru, lay sick and, it was feared, dy-
ing of an intermittent fever in her pal
ace at Lima. Her physician. Juan de
Vega, was at his wits end. Her hus-
band was in despair, when the corregi-
dor of Loxa, a neighboring state. sent
to the former small packet of pow
dered quinquina bark, which he knew
the Indians priced highly as febri-
fuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess, with the happy result that
the fever left her and a complete cure
was effected.
Two years later, in 1910, the much
named Count of Chinchona and his wife
returned to Spain, and as the Countess
Ana brought with her a quantity of the
healing bark the distinction is claimed
for her of being the first person to in
troduce it into Europe.
Her physician, we are told, made a
large fortune by selling it in Seville at
100 reals the pound, 1t was this IA
nous cure of the Countess Chinehona
that induced the great Swedish bota-
mist Linn@us long afterward to rename
| the whole genus of quinine yielding
tree 'cinchona" in her honor.

Capt. Clark and Admiral Dewey.

George Dewey seems to have been
forgotten by Vermont in its Old Home
Week celebration. Nowhere in the
reports do we find mention of the pres
ence of the once famous commander.
The Vermonters were very proud of
him in 1898, and when he came sailing
home from Manila, but then the ad=
miral lost his heart and later his head,
and the feeling toward him seemed to
suffer what the Green Mountaineers
call ''cold snap" The State is not
without its hero, however. and Capt.
Clark, of the Oregon, as he will always
be known, is, in the minds of many, as
big man as the hero of Manila Bay,
He was in Vermont last week, and re-
ceived a hearty welcome wherever he
went. 1t is not to be denied that the
splendid work of the commander of the
Oregon in that wonderful trip around

the fight at Santiago is worthy Of
recognition, not only by the people o.
his state, but by the national govern
ment. Always prepared was the

Mark Twain once used a successful
ruse to attract the attention of Presi-
dent Cleveland to an injustice which
he thought was about to be done to
Consul General Mason at Frankfort,
one of the best men in the service
Mason was notified that his resignation
was expected and that a Mr. Rapp of
Illinois was to be his successor. He
was packing up his goods when Mark
Twain happened around that way and
visited the consulate.
Being Informed of the situation, the
latter wrote a letter to Ruth Cleveland,
the baby daughter of the president,
telling her that he could not interfere
in matters of patronage because he WIS
Mugwump, but he considered it a
shame that a man of experience and
| ability like Consul General Mason
| should be turned out of office simply
| because some Democrat who knew
| nothing about it's duties wanted the
| place. He said that he was acquaint-
| ed with great many eonsuls and that
| Captain Mason was the best he had
| ever known. and if her father ever con-
| suited her about the consular service
he suggested that she advise him not
to disturb good men merely to give
places To politicians.
About month later Mr.. Clemens re-
| ceived little note in President Cleve-
lands handwriting. in which Miss
Ruth Cleveland presented her compli
ments to Mark Twain. thanked him for
calling attention to the threatened re-
mOval of Consul Mason and said that
if he knew of any similar cases the
president would be glad to hear from
him.

PAPER COLLECTORS.
edd and Interesting Fad-SOme OF
the CuriOsities In Existence.


An odd but pleasant fad is collecting
paper-not the printed page, but the
raw material. There is almost no limit
to the collections which can be made.
Besides those employed in writing,
printing, engraving, chromolitho-
graphing and the like are the types
used for wrapping, wall papering,
binding and magazine covering. There
are paper mills in every civilized cOun-
try and in such semiciviliZed ones as
Korea. China. Burma, Siam, India and
even Egypt. Hundreds of methods are
employed, and the list of crude mate
rials is exceedingly long. 1t includes
paper, cotton, linen, cotton and linen
| rags. hemp, wood pulp, wood -four,
straw, corn husks and stalks, bamboo
| and many numerous other vegetable
| fibers.
| The most durable paper is made by a
guild near Nankin, in China, which
supplies the government of that en-
| pire with the leaves for its official doc
| uments. This paper is made from
| young bamboo tips. 1t is soft, pliable,
| takes ink well and seems indestructi-
| BILE. There are samples In collections
which are over 1000 years old. The
| largest assortment of these Chinese pa
| pers is owned by an editor in Jersey
| City, who has nearly 800 different
samples. Quite odd are the fireproof
| papers. Some of these are made of veg
| etable fiber impregnated with tung-
state of soda. Others are made Of fine
asbestus or of asbestus mixed with
| fiber.
| These will pass through fire un-
scathed. They have, however, one
drawback. They do not preserve the
ink used upon their surface. A sheet,
handsomely printed, comes out of a
fire snow white, and If writing ink is
made of any vegetable substance 1t
shares the same fate. The strongest
paper thus. far produced is made Of
manila hemp. a sheet of legal cap will
sustain a weight of 800 pounds. Its
fiber is so compact that man Of ordi-
nary muscular power cannot tear 1t
across. 1t is used for wills and legal
documents. The finest paper is linen
fabric made in England. 1t is as light
as tissue paper and yet so strong that
it will stand much wear.
The oldest printing papers belong to
the United States. Some years ago an
eccentric scientist published a book in
which he endeavored to give the great
est possible relief to the eye of the
reader. One page was printed with
one size of type in black ink, second
with a different sized type in brown
ink, third with blue ink and fourth
with maroon ink. He applied the
same principle to the texture Of the
, paper of each page, which was coarse
: medium or fine, rough finished, smooth
ly finished, calendered or supercalen'
. dered. The paper itself was also tint
: ed in every hue which the publisher
thought agreeable to look upon. The
book was not success. and the small
edition which appeared is now treasur
: ed as one of the literary or topographic
curiosities of the land. New York
Evening Post.
