J.. w. Currier of North Troy has
already received many tempting offers
for his recently patented cloth board
The board is made OF three thick
nesses of veneer glued together. The
patent consists in cutting from the
middle of one of the ends of the board
piece a few inches square and at
taching to the same place in such a
way as to allow it TO slide in and out,
and using it for a tablet on which to
record the number of yards and the
cuttingsas made from time to time.
Its value and utility are obvious, es-
pecially during the days of stock TAX
ing, or when it is desired to know the
contents of piece OF goods without
resort to the yard stick. There is a
good prospect that the patent win be
sold to a Vermont concern which will
manufacture the boards on large
scale.

vermonters Gave Water Cure. {"

The Boston Herald prints a sensa-
tional story furnished by Private
William Labelle and Albert W.
Bertrand, clerk Of Company ID. and
regimental clerk at headquarters while
the 26th regiment was at Panay.
Capt. Cornelius NJ. Brownell OF Bur
lington was the captain OF this COM
pany which was recruited almost
wholly in Vermont. Their story tells
of a Catholic priest murdered by
United States soldiers through the
workings of the water cure. Filipinos
tortured till their eyes and ears bled,
and an order given to spare the lives
OF no one but children.
The Burlington News saws that il is
well known in Burlington, through
statements of returned members of the
Twenty-sixth regiment. that the
.'water cure was in constant use by
the regiment, and that the story OF the
death of the Catholic priest is sub
stantially true; but the Lynn mems
story is otherwise overdrawn, prob
ably. They say that il is impossible
to get along with the natives in any
other way, and that the priest in ques
ton was a cruel, bloodthirsty muir
derer.

REVOLVER WOUNDS.
More Dangerous, for Various Reasons,
than Those of the Riff.

More Dangerous, for Various Reasons,
than Those of the Riff.
Wounds In civil life differ from those
IN military life in the greater after
danger Of septic involvment. Revolver
cartridges are more liable than are
rifle cartridges to have been handled
frequently, to have been carried in dir
ty pockets and to have come in contact
with various forms Of infectious mate
rials that may prove of serious conse-
quence when buried in the tissues.
Moreover, revolver cartridges are cov-
cred with coating of grease, and this
encourages an accumulation of mani
fold microbic material, some Of which
may prove to be of virulently infec-
tious nature.
Rifle bullets are practically always
sterilized by the intense heat develop.
ed by the powder at the moment of
their discharge. Their rapid progress
through the air while in heated con-
dition still further serves to cleanse
them Of any eXtraneous material that
may chance to have accumulated on
their surfaces. This cleansing process
Is very effectually begun by the rifling
Of the rifle barrel through which the
bullet forces It's way.
All Of these favorable factors are
lacking in the case Of the revolver bull
let, and SO it is possible that in any
given case such bullet may carry in
fectious material with it into the ts-
sues. If this were in small amount ma
ture might effectually wall it off and
no serious consequences result. On the
other hand, such infectious material
might lie seemingly dormant for days,
but really slowly gathering strength by
multiplication, and when its toxins
were elaborated in sufficient amount
they might paralyze protective chemo-
taXis and produce a septic condition.

A Man of Metal.

The Iron Chancellor" has disappear
ed, says the Westminster Gazette, but
there is still a Teuton very much alive
who is "a man of iron" in an almost lit
eral sense of the term. This came out
few days ago when young German
porter Dragged at a public house that
he was man of iron, since sports
man had discharged at least ninety
grains of shot into his back He would
have nothing to do with surgeons,
wherefore his brother had removed
about half Of the load" by the simple
expedient Of cutting the shots out with
knife. The story was presently
brought before the authorities, and the
porter was medically examined, with
the result that his story proved abso-
lutely true. His back and arms were
'larded" with lead balls. which he car
ried about without any discomfort
whatever. The reason for his reluc-
tance to approach surgeon seems to
have been that the sportsman who had
thus marked him was gamekeeper,
and it was while he was on poaching
expedition that Ill luck thus befell him.

to-day in the White House. The Pres

than now was spending a part of the
early winter on ranch in Wyoming.
While going from the railway station
TO the ranch on foot a sudden blizzard
broke out and compelled him to turn
back and make his way with the wind
and snow down the railway track.
After travelling mile or two he
came to one Of those resorts patron
lied by cow-punchers in the West. Gro
ceries and general merchandise were
sold, but the principal attraction was
the long bar where the liquid goods
We're passed over. Roosevelt entered
Nietly and took chair behind the
gGN roaring cannon stove in one cor
x3f the room. A typical Western
bully had been holding forth in the
bar-room that evening and had made
every newcomer buy round of drinks,
or dance as he fired pistol shots at their
feet.
Roosevelt had laid aside his coat and
was leaning back comfortably in his
chair when espied by the bad man."
He sized Roosevelt up, and, noticing
his glasses, accosted him.
well, old four eyes, what the - do
you want in here?' Roosevelt tried to
quiet the man, realizing his disposi-
tion, but was not successful. The bully
insisted that Roosevelt buy drink FOR
everybody in the place or dance jig.
Roosevelt refused to do either, when
the big Westerner stepped up, pulled
his pistol, and announced that only two
minutes would be allowed in which to
comply with his command. Roosevelt
as he slowly rose to his feet, said:

scarcely Strengthened himself out as
his words were uttered when he bent
his right arm into a hook and landed
an uppercut on the tip Of the West
erner's chin, which sent him inglorl-
ously to the floor, the revolver fall
ing from his hand. For the next ten
minutes Roosevelt was busy in pull
ing off the other occupants of the
room, who insisted on placing their
feet rapidly and vigorously in the ribs
of the fallen humorist. - Washington

heavy weights to hold it upright. With

VETERAN WRITER OF BOYS STORIES.

~ GORGE ALFRED HENTY of
W0 London is the most popular au-
thor of boys books on either side
of the Atlantic. Every year of his life
he writes at least three long historical
novels for boys, and no Christmas
would seem quite complete without it's
gifts Of "Henty books" He has writ
ten about eighty of these juvenile nov
els In all, besides enough other books
to make total of nearly a hundred
volumes. Mr.. Henty now is 50 years
of age, but his marvellous powers of lit
erary production continue unabated. In
his youth he left Cambridge Univer-
sity to enter the Crimean war, and he
has been correspondent from the bat
tlefield during most of the important
European wars since then. This eXpe-
rience has fitted him for writing tales
of military adventures, and there
seems to be no end to his resources.

moved straight for the curve of the
horseshoe falls. A lttleA to the Cana
dian side of the center of the falls the
barrel took it's plunge and dropped
clouded in mist, to the lower river. a
distance of 15S feet.
While the desperate plunge was being
taken thousands of spectators held
their breath In anxiety and suspense,
everyone believing that the fall would
be fatal and that another would be
added to the long list of the victims of
Niagara. Two minutes after the plung-
ing barrel had been lost I'm the mist of
the tremendous cataract 1t appeared in
the seething white water below the
falls. 1t gradually was carried by the
current to the Canadian side and was

and wept.
When she was rescued the barrel was
one-third filed with water. The tre-
