j. St. Johnsbury wants to be city
and will make application to the
General Assembly for permission to
don city attire. The pretty village
of St. Johnsbury has every qualifca-
ton for a city. 1t has good village
organization and managesits corpor-
alton affairs correctly; but as it has
outgrown village ways and village
ideas, it is quite proper that it be put
in the city class. 1t will make a
model city and will not in the least
be stuck up by its growth to that
position. st. Johnsbury is all right
whether village or a city.

Mr.. Carnegie, according to his
own computation to a friend, has
recently given away nearly $45, OOO,-
600. He averages about eight libra
ries a day, giving an average of $751;
600 to each. This is for buildings
and equipments exclusive of sites.
AS he requires that ten per cent of
the amount given by him shall be ex-
pended every year for the mainte-
nance of the libraries, his gifts will
put $4,5OO,O00 additional annually

Death Of Gen. william W. Grout.

Gen. William w. Grout passed
away at his home in Kirby Tuesday
morning, after an illness of several
weeks. 1t is not often that the peo-
pie of Vermont are called upon to
mourn the death of one who has
served the State longer or more
faithfully than Gen. Grout. Nor is it
often that a citizen is taken away
whose death is more sincerely mourn
ed by so large a circle of friends. 1t
may also be truthfully said of him
that no Vermonter more closely at
tached friends to himself as with
hooks of steel or had a more loyal
and devoted list of them than Gen.
Grout. He never forgot them, was
never untrue to them, and no saCri-
flee was too great for him to make
for those who had been faithful to
him.
No broken column should mark
the resting place of Gen. Grout His
was not an incomplete life. For
longer period than almost any other
Vermonter had ever served his State
in the lower House of Congress, Gen.
Grout represented Vermont, serving
with remarkable fidelity and max
ing a national record for himself
during the eighteen years in which
he was in Congress. His ambition
to be a member of the United States
Senate was not gratifed, but at the
fairly ripe age of &c years, he has
been taken home, and after the asperi-
ties of the campaign of 1900 shall
have been, as they certainly will be,
the people of the Green
State will, we believe, Join
in according to- the General that APP
plaud of a well spent life, "Well done,
good and faithful servant"

NOTES.

well provided for on committees.
Lamoille's Senator is all right.
His two terms experience in the
House comes good to him in the
Senate. 10
Hollenbeck of Elmore and Randall
of Wolcott sit together and will not
let any opportunity to serve their
towns correctly, 60 by.
Harrington of Cambridge is Eat
home" in the House, having served
in that body before. He is level
headed and will make no mistakes.
Pearl of Johnson is destined to
prove a valuable member. He is
solid with the administration, " and
will give close attention to business.
The Waterville and Belvidere mem
bers are fast getting on to the ways
and methods of the Legislature. No
important bill will be neglected by
them.
Good words are said in all direc-
tions for Stafford of Morristown.
He will be one of the leading men of
the House. Blake of Eden is also
well spoken Of
1t seems strange-and is too bad
that the husting town of Stowe
has no Representative this year,
With all her good men and while it
may have been hard to settle down
on one, she ought to have made a
selection for her own good.
The Representative from Hyde
Park has been placed on the States
Prison committee. There is not
much work on this committee, but
Henry will have a chance to visit
Windsor and if he discovers that
things are not being run right, can
suggest changes.
The Lamoille delegation are well
located in the House, all have good
seats and also good boarding places.
Some of them stop at the Montpelier
House, some with lara Griswold at
the Union House and others at pri-
vate boarding houses-but not a
blamed one at the Pavilion.
One of the best doorkeepers is F,
B. Morse of Wolcott, who presides
at the entrance to the Senate. He
is courteous and answers all ques-
tons of visitors, whether sensible or
otherwise, points out the prominent
Senators and does not forget to say
a good word for "the gentleman
from Lamoille.

THE TRBlATON OF THE WOFANWHO POPJLARN KATE H1HScN

Whatever fl may be- the sympathetic
girl is right on time with her "Ohs, ="
and "Ahs," and az m so very sorry" in
a way mat the masculine heart bungers
for There IS an Irresistible fascination
about her. from the fact that our mas
Culine friends are. after all. but over
grown children. who need petting and
sympathy, and the woman who Is an eN-
pert sympathizer can rob his home and
mother and often his wife Of her over
grown masculine baby.
Sympathy Catches the Man.
Divorce records prove this If wo-
men did not sympathize with men in
their matrimonial troubles many Of
them would not be called upon later TO
lgure as correspondents. Il Is the sym
Pathy that catches his rebounding heart
and gives the signal for the domestic
legal battle TO begin. II there were no
sympathetic women beyond the home the
dear man would not so Ofton wander
therefrom.
The woman who Is jolly and bright is
less dangerous than she who strays of

Where # struck was bIaekness. but
now the surface grows lighter and
lighter until through tae skiHfuI man
ipulation Of the operator, the stone is
clear Of all the color OF age. and a
new surface is brought to view.
How the Tools Are Worn Away.
There are thirty-fve pounds Of air
pressure behind the sand and air as they
rush out through the steel nozzle tip Of
the hose. These tips are Of case-hard-
ened steel. about an inch long and an
eighth Of an inch thick.
The erosive qualities Of the sand-blast
may be judged when it is con-
sidered that from four to eight Of these
nozzles are worn out by one man in the
course Of an ordinary days labor. They
become so thin and bear back so far
that the stream loses its compactness,
and then a new tip must be substi-
tuted.
A six-horse-power gasoIene engine,
with an air compressor, stationed in the
street, furnishes the air power. The air
passes from the tanks. through hose of
ordinary rubber. to what is called an
atomizer. These atomizers do not re-
semble the kind Of atqmizers usually
found on a lady's dressing table. though
the principle is the same. They are of
riveted steel. standing about three feet
high. An air pressure keeps the sand
in motion downward, and an arrange
ment Of valves, operated by an assistant
controls the flow Of sand and air, so that
the proper proportions may be secured
This is usually one part sand to four
parts air.

tracts the dislike Of other women, who
begrudge her the need Of admiration
which she enjoys and which they feel
themselves entitled to. and they follow
this Jealousy with covert insinuations
that reflect directly OF indirectly on her
reputation.
Sometimes Even Cries for Admiration.
Every woman. whether she will admit
the fact OF not. longs for and sighs for.
and sometimes even cries for the admi-
ration Of men in general and Of one man
in particular And this Is really as IL
should be. ] would not give brass

criticisms evoked.

year TO year, charming and attractive,
and the days of her girlhood grow into
years Of womanhood and yet though a
bridesmaid a score OF times, the bridal
veil is never woven for her. After time
she finds herself neglected and ay.NSS,

Girls less attractive by far marry AMI

realms Of the blase, Ucloved and un-
sought
All women long 20 be attractive and

in the end il serves the purpose OF her

Of the woman who distributes her favors
indiscriminately and overly generously,
and when he goes q woOing he Is more
apt to seek the girl whose quiet dignity
won his admiration first, and later his
love.
The Washington times., 1902-12-07

The final impetus is secured at the end
OF the hose. just at the steel nozzle. Hers
the onrushing air and sand find their
path suddenly obstructedi a foot OF air
gathers in the hose. and the sand is thus
driven out at high velocity.
Workmen Look Like Divers.
Working with the sand-blast entails
many discomforts for the man at the
hose. The flying particles Of sand, dane
ing and rebounding from the granite,
would play havoc with the eyes If they
we're not protected. BESIDES cutting into
the skin. To overcome this each man
wears on his head a hood OF bag Of linen,
falling down on the shoulders In this
are sewn a pair Of clear glass goggles .
When at work each man at the nozzle re-
sembles a submarine diver. so far as fea-
lures go.
The sand used is Of the common va
rietv known to builders as river Fand.7
It's usefulness does not cease wher once
it has passed through the atomizeI' and
ridden on the swift air current. 1t IS
still rough and angular. and until it be-
comes round and smooth it can be swept
up and employed again.
A few trips. however, serve TO polish
even the tiny sand grains, and then
others must be secured. Before it is
used it is sifted. aand then dried in
special apparatus.
As a time saver the sand-blast IS un-
eoualed- Each man with an atomizer can
do the work OF twenty who use the old
hand process. And there is practically
no limit 10 its erosivS powers. In the
hand Of nature the sand-blast has hewn
away mountains and today 1t is silently
grinding at Egypt's pillared temples and
the solemn sphinx that gazes always on
the shifting, ever-desUoying sands OF

7 AM not quite sure that so very much
glory should be accorded the ac-
i cepted idea OF the really popular
woman.
The woman who is a favorite with. and
who IS sought after by men. is rarely
regarded kindly among women, from
whom she runs the risk OF being snub-
bed and suspected. Il not openly avoided,
and Of being alluded to as shady TO

Either OF those women are the sub

Why She Is Not to Be Envied.
The popular woman is not 20 be envled
