"studyine Arithmetic ct cetera.

An editorial article from the Phila
delphia Inquirer, headed Studying
Arithmetic" printed elsewhere in this
paper. has already been private
ly circulated in this village, and has
been accepted as having a local ap
plication. 1t has developed in q
private way that the article was writ
ten by a member of the Inquirer's
staff who has become greatly dis
turbed over the methods by which his
own children are supposedly taught
arithmetic in the Philadelphia public
schools. In a personal letter, the
writer says: "I learned arithmetic
in log schoolhouse in Kentucky near
ly 40 years ago, and, no matter how
unscientific the methods, l learned
arithmetic from one end to the other
with the same preciseness as the null
tiplication table. l do not believe
there is any royal road to learning
and l am disgusted with the modern
system"
Experience with boys and girls as
they have come out of the full course
in the public schools, through what has
grown to be a long term of years,
would lead us to say that the method
in arithmetic is only one feature in
the faulty methods of our modern
school system. Judged by the test
of actual business experience, it is
literally true that boys and girls come
out of the full school course at IS
or 20, glibly conversant with the
whole range of human knowledge, in
Guiding the sciences, modern Ian
guages, ancient and modern History,
political and social science, and meta
physics-and in actual, practical ex-
perience they can't read, write or spell
the English language correctly or add
column of figures reliably.
This isn't the fault of the boys and
girls. it isn't the fault of the teachers,
except as individual teachers in some
of the grades are not practically con-
versant with these common branches
in way that would pass muster in
an average newspaper or business Of
fee. 1t is the fault of the System. -
No boy or girl can finish" the study
of common arithmetic and common
English at 10, devote the next four
years to the higher" branches, and
then go out into the world with work
ing knowledge of those prosaic but
essentially useful branches, without
any practical use of them meantime.

Madam Pianka and the Lion Rex.

That Madam Pianka's lion act made
hit at the Clinton fair may be
judged from the following from the
Clinton Daily Item. "The. feature of
the fair was certainly Madam Pianka
and her educated lions. The general
expression of opinion was wonder at
the various tricks and feats that these
animals performed. Madam Pianka
fed the lions from her hands; defied
the animals while blind-folded, and
finally one of the lions opened his
ponderous jaws while the Madam in,
serted her head in his mouth. One
of the features is the lion dinner
where the five animals sit at the table
in the cage, drink milk from bowls
eat ice cream with spoon and raw
meat with a fork. 1t has been found
by Clinton fair management tha,
animal acts are their greatest drawing
card, and this act is surely the finest
that has ever been given"

Stand BY a Referendum.

The Bennington Reformer asks
What is the use of a referendum.
anyway" and then argues that a ma
iority of the voters of Vermont have
decided in favor of local option law
and there is no necessity for the ex-
pense and trouble of having them re-
peat their orders. This argument
may be good for consumption in Ben
nington, but it wont go in the state
at large. For Republicans to go for
local option now by a short cut
through the legislature would be an
act of insincerity on a par with the
action of extreme prohibitionists still
holding to prohibition after the party
was pledged to a referendum. The
duty of Republican legislators will be
to stand by a referendum, and to aid
in shaping a local option bill which
will be well adapted to the needs of
the state, with it's scattered rural pop
ulation.
The st. Adams Messenger, which
has long been an advocate of a change
in the present law, believes the pur-
poses Of local-option can be secured
without the open saloon "by licens-
ing wholesaling under certain condi.
tions, first-class hotels and first-class
restaurants. and authorizing the sale
of medicinal liquors by druggists un-
der the most rigid restrictions" Such
law would give local option without
the evils of the open saloon.

The census office has issued an in
teresting table showing the efficiency
of the public system of the country,
by giving the percentage of children

An increase is noted in every state as
compared with the record of 1890. Ne
braska stands at the head of the list,
with percentage of 1896, and Louisi-

There are Is states with percentage
of 80 and over, Vermont being in this

Something About the Business With
Which J. H. Chamberlain is Con-
nected in Indiana and Montana.

In a home letter j. H. Chamberlain
of Indianapolis, Ind, gives an account
of the work he has done this year.
The firm of which he is a member
have a public auction of horses every
Tuesday in the year, besides special
sales. They frequently sell from
$4,000 to $4,000 worth in one day.
Each week the firm sells from one to
four carloads of the very best horses
to go to England. Since January 1st,
more than s1,000,000 worth of horses
have passed through their hands.
Many of these have gone out of the
country, but most of them have been
shipped to the New England states.
Since the first of June Mr.. Chamber
lain has bought 5000 horses in Mon
tana and Washington, and shipped
them to his Indianapolis stables. He
has as many more ready for ship
ment. They are sent ON special
trains, for which all trains except the
fast expresses are side-tracked. One
train ran from st. Paul to Chicago,
440 miles, in Ia hours and 80 minutes.
There are from $50 to 500 head on a
train, and the freight bill for such a
load is over $4,000. For one of the
lOh6 u InC Ulit was ncdIly plU,OUV.
This train was the largest the Monon
railroad ever hauled. Mr.. Chamber
lain has made five trips West this
season, four of them as far as Seattle,
and he has travelled from 4500 to
1900 miles each trip. He has made
shipments from Ellensburg, Wanatch.
er, Wolf Creek and Spokane, Washing
ton, and from Helena, Great Falls,
Fort Benton and Big Sandy, Montana
Mr. Chamberlain is president and
one quarter owner in the Hinsdale
Horse & Mule company of Hinsdale
Mont. This company has 5000 acres
of fenced land, and about 100000
acres of adjacent grazing land. On
this land there are now 1000 fine
brood mares and colts and is import
ed stations, weighing from 1400 lbs
to 1900 lbs. It is the intention to
have 5000 to 5000 mares as soon as
! they can be procured. and 1t will be

the largest horse ranch in the coun-
try. The company has cut 1000 tons
of hay and has as much more to cut.
Mr.. Chamberlain says: This is a
great country. There are thousands
of the best cattle and sheep in Mon
tana that l ever saw. saw 80 car
loads of steers loaded at Fort Benton
that sold in Chicago for $3.50 to $3.50
per head. Many of these steers
weighed 1400 lbs. met several men
who sold their wool-clip this year for
$4,000 to 65,000."

Three burglars blew open the safe
in the post Office at Alstead, N. H.,
Tuesday morning and secured about
$25. The explosion wrecked the safe
and badly damaged the office. Officer
Dodge and other people were awaken
ed by the noise. Mr.. Dodge saw the
men disappearing and fired at them
with revolver. The burglars were
traced nearly to the Walpole station.
1t is believed that they did not board
train or cross the bridge into Yer
mont. They looked like Italian labor
ers.

Iowa refuses to be candidate for an
18th term in the House of Represen-

pie of Iowa are strongly in favor OF
tariff revision, but Mr.. Henderson dis.
agrees with them and says, "You can
not kill trusts by applying free trade
without killing our own industries

Henderson's action a great Republi

Letter to J. c. Howe,
Brdttlebero, VI.

Dear Sir: You are an artist, what do you
know about paint?
White lead is 1000 years old, and zinc about
so. The Greeks knew white lead.
Lead and oil is old-fashion paint and zinc is
a baby comparatively. But zinc, if properly
ground with lead. prolongs the life of the
paint from about three years at the most. to
six.
Do you know that? 1t isn't your business
TO know 1t; but you are an artist. The sun.
that paints for you, destroys lead and oil, but
scarcely affects Devoe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts six years yes
two or three times six years in favorable con.
dtions.
Yours truly,
70 F.W. DEvoE & Co.

of last week, hews to the line on the
whole course of our state campaign
from its beginning last winter till the

may not be palatable to the political
managers. or soothing to the conserv-
ative conceit of Vermont Republican
ism but it is a good fall medicine
nevertheless. Mr.. Johnson of the

and his brethren of the state press
