BRATTLEBoRo MARKET REPORT.
Numerous Changes in the Prices of
Staple ArticIes-Market Easy and
Quiet

Numerous Changes in the Prices of
Staple ArticIes-Market Easy and
Quiet.
The trend of prices this week indi-
Gates an easy market. Eggs are com
ing in more freely and in consequence
they were quoted this morning at 80
cents, retail, three cents below yester-
days figure. Within a few days re-
fined sugar declined 10 cents a hun
dred at Wholesale but recovered soon
afterward so that the retail price is
unchanged. The fish market is re-
turning to normal conditions, fresh fish
being quoted at retail at two cents a
pound under last weeks quotation
Apples, in both the wholesale and re-
tail markets, are higher, the supply
having been greatly diminished. No
l apples bring 81 at retail. The grain
market is unusually quiet, with a
downward tendency, on account of diff
ficulties attending transportation to
many of the county towns at this sea
son of the year. Dressed beef is
half cent a pound below last weeks
price, the increased supply of chick
ems having caused a corresponding de-
crease in the consumption of beef.
Hides, being less desirable for tan
ners on account of the heavy coating
during the winter. bring a half cent
pound less than formerly. Boiled
and raw oil, which were arbitrarily ad-
vanced Is cents a gallon in October
by the trust, dropped 10 cents a gallon
this week

A Measure of Economy.

The tendency in governmental mat
tiers as in business is to consolidate.
Gov. Crane, of Massachusetts, recon-
mends the consolidation of the three
State commissions on water, sewerage,
and parks, urging, instead of three dis
tinct bodies, board of three men who
shall give their entire time to the
work. The idea of consolidating the
management of Vermont state insti-
buttons will some day appeal to the
people of this state as worth consider
ing. There is a great amount of money
being wasted in Vermont to-day by the
scattering of the control of state de-
partments into the hands of individ-
uals and commissions and the refusal
to reform the audit system. 1t would
pay for representation at a great
many Buffalo eXpositions.-[St. Adams

Hortonae Variety of spIeenwort.

The January number of Rhodora,
the journal of the New England Bo-
tanical club. contains an article by
George E. Davenport on "a Plumose
Variety of the Ebony Spleenwort. I"
The article is based on a variety of
fern found in September by Mrs.
Frances B. Horton of Brattleboro,
reference to which has been made in
The Phoenix, and it is given the po-
sition of honor in the journal and is
accompanied by a half tone plate.
The variety has been named Hor-
tonae, after it's discoverer. After
giving a detailed description of the
fern Mr.. Davenport refers to it as a
remarkable and most beautiful va
riety and says: 1T presents an ap-
pearance so striking that at first
was inclined to regard it as a new
species. Mrs. Horton is to be con-
graduated on so interesting a dis
coYery, and it is to be hoped that she
may be rewarded still further another
season by finding fertile fronds. To
judge from the plants already re-
ceived this form must have been in
existence several years, as the annual
growth and decay are easily traced
on the rootstock."

10th Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Madison Stafford cele-
brated their 10th wedding anniversary
Jan. 4, at the old homestead in Cam
bridge, VT, where they live with their
son. Mrs. Stafford was go years old
last August and Mr.. Stafford will reach
his 92d anniversary on the 18th of
next month. Mr.. Safford's ancestors,
the Saffords and Montagues. were
conspicuous figures in the civil and
military history of early New Eng
land. Mr.. Safford's father and
mother came to Cambridge from Ben
nington in 1892. Mr.. Stafford was
born and has always lived on the farm
where he now resides and Mrs. SAT-
ford came to the Stafford home when
only twelve years old, so they have
lived under the same roof together
so years. Both are wonderfully pre-
served in body and in mind.
They read the daily papers without
glasses, keep in touch with current
affairs, and Mrs. Stafford does much
work about the house. They have
been prohibitionists and anti-tobac-
conists always. Mr.. Stafford never
drank tea or coffee, and Mrs. Stafford
has INDUCED in these beverages only
rarely. At their 50th wedding ami
versary in 1881 six people were pre-
sent who attended their wedding.
Two of the witnesses of the event are
now living.

FIFTY YEARS OF PROGRESS.
Address Before the Woman's Club
by a Massachusetts Scholar and
Historian.

Address Before the WomanS Club
by a Massachusetts Scholar and
Historian.
Frank b. Sanborn, the Concord,
Mass, historian, delivered an admira-
BILE address before the Woman's club
in the Brooks House Friday evening
upon Social Changes in the United
States in the Half-Century, 1S50-19O0."
Mr.. Sanborn is chairman of the com
mittee on economies in the New Eng
land Education league, and the paper
was one which he read before the
Social Science association in Wash
ington last autumn. In the main the
paper was a review of the contribut-
ing influence to the past so years of
development and progress as seen
and understood by Mr. Sanborn, and
it was accompanied by some very in
teresting stories.
We may regard the changes of
half-century, or of 10 centuries, with
regret, if we choose; but the future
has thus far been found on the
whole, better than the past; so that,
on the ground of experience alone,
we are justified in holding that our
descendants will inherit more than
We CuJOg, plONlutu JucS anu we are
true to the spirit which guides the
alteration and vicissitudes of this
changing world Broadly speaking
the last halfcentury has been the
era of machinery and combination.
True the great inventions of the
steam engine and the spinning-je jenny
were of the 18th century, and that

crets of strength the Delilahs of sci
ence are ever pressing to find out.

guardianship of DR.. Franklin But
the general applications of these dis
coveries and of the revelations made
by the modern science of chemistry.
were largely the work everywhere.
and peculiarly so in this country. of
| the practical energy of the years
since 1850.
Mr.. Sanborn combated the idea that
any rich man has a right to do what
| he pleases with his own property.
claiming that the authority by which
he amassed the riches insists upon a
recognition of his obligations to the
poor men. Whatever strength the
| hideous and blind revenges of anar-
| chy gain in the popular mind is due
to an inarticulate period that the
world is out of joint and things must
be worse before they are better. So
cial science counsels with the power
full and the rich not to neglect such
symptoms. The only remedy for so
cial evils would seem to be more

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

He was "chilly old business" he used to
And early and late he worked;
Each day in the week was his busy day;
He hated man who shirked.
Dollar to dollar and dime to dime,
But for anything else he had never the
time.
He hardly could spare enough time to sleep.
Nor time for his meals by half.
He boosted he never had time to weep,
We knew he'd no time to laugh.
Golf. he maintained, was a cardinal crime
The very worst method of numbering time.
He wouldn't take time for a friendly chat;
He wouldn't take time to read,
Excepting, of course, in his ledger-that
Was enough to supply his need.
His family knew him but slightly, for he
Had no time at all for society.
A time came at last when he rushed no
To his office with breathless haste.
He took time at last, though he must have
felt sore
At having the time to waste.
This necessity may make some other men
sigh;
He's had to take time to fall sick and die!
