The browne Block on Portland ST.,
cut of which is given above, is near
ly completed and G. P. Browne & Co.
expect to move into their new store,
which occupies all of the south Sec
tion of the lower floor, the middle of
next week.
In every respect this store is one OF
the most modern and convenient in
northern Vermont. The store room, in
all departments, covers over $500 feet
of floor space and contains upwards
of 200 feet in length of counters. The
cash system was installed last week
by Geo. l.. Bartlett of Boston. This
system is called the Lamson and is
furnished by the Lamson CONSOLIDATE
ed Store Service Co., of Worcester,
Mass. The cashiers Office occupies a
raised position in the rear of the
store and the cash is transmitted to
him from ten different stations in the
store, in carriers attached TO a wire
which are sent to each counter by
means of a spring. Mr.. browne has
a private office in the rear, where Wis
itors can be received and any bust
ness be transacted without fear of in
terruption. A unique apartment in
the new store, and one which will be
much appreciated, is reception
room, in which will be reading ma
terial and everything for the COM
fort and convenience of the pat
rons and connected with this room
is a toilet room. On the second
floor and directly over the store in
the rear of the building is located the
millinery department and back OF
this are the dressmaking parlors Of
Mrs. E. Fl. P. Merrill. These rooms
can be entered either from the street
or from the store-to suit the con-
venience of the customer.
The north section of the new block
will be the location for the postoffice,
and Postmaster Fisher expects to
move to his new quarters about Oct.
20. This move has been made neces-
sary blythe large increase in the bust
ness OF this Office. The apartments
will make a model office and the large
increase in room will be much APP
preciated by both officials and the
public. AS stated previously in this
paper, the floor space will be 20x54
feet. The two front entrance doors
will be greatly appreciated by the
patrons.

King Edwards Bible.
(From The London Times


1t was announced in The Times
some time ago that the King had
consented to accept a Bible from the
British and Foreign Bitl9 Society as
memento of his coronation. The
volume has been bound in the finest
pressed royal red morocco, with
beveled boards, gilt edges, richly in
laid and hand-tooled throughout,
The design is adopted from various
early Christian symbols and orna-
mental work to be found in the cata-
combs and buildings of the first to
fifth centuries. The central device is
cross in the mausoleum of Gala
Placidia at Ravenna; this is enriched
with an interlaced pattern in gold, on
gray blue inlay, bordered with creamy
white and golded brown. The field
surrounding the cross is filed with a
pergola- like pattern of vine leaves
and punches of representations of
Christ, the true vine-and closely
worked on red morocco. Surround.
ing and framing the above is a border
composed of wheat ears, typical of
the bread of life, upon which are ten
emblematic medallions, each contain
ing a symbol used by the early church.
Before it's presentation to the King
the book, which was bound under the
personal direction of the society's
President, the Marquis of Northamp-
ton, was on view at the Bible house
from September % to September 27,
for the inspection of subscribers and
friends OF the society.

LENGTH OF LIFE INCREASED.

The Census Gives Figures and Causes for
the Change.
The Census Bureau at Washington
has just issued a statement showing
the increasing age of the population
from decade to decade. The state
ment gives the results of computing
the median instead of the average
age. The median is such an age that
half the population is under it and
half over it. The median age of the
total population In 1900 was % 8,
as compared with q 8 in 1890. The
median age of the white population
in the last census year was % 4 and
the colored, including Negroes, Indi-
ans and Mongolians, was 1877, while
in 1890 that of the white population
was 224 and the colored Is 3.
The report shows there was an in
crease in the median age of the white
population in each decade from 1910
to 1900, amounting in the ninety
years to IA years or an average
amount of about five sixths of year
in decade. The median age of the
colored population increased after
1880, but with less regularity. The
median age of the colored population
increased three years in the period
from 1880 to 1900, or only about
half as fast as that of the white. But
in the last twenty years of the century
the increase for the groups has been
substantially the same, one and nine
tenths years for the colored and two
years for the white. The statement
closes as follows
Many complex influences have CO.
operated in producing as resultant
this steady change in the age CON-
position of the population. There
may be mentioned the rapid pro-
gress of medical and sanitary science,
which has tended to increase the aver.
age length of life the decrease in the
relative number OF children born,
which has made the earlier age
periods less preponderant numerical
ly in the total population and the in
fux, especially since 1910, of great
numbers of adult immigrants, in
creasing the number in the older age
periods. The difference between the
white and colored populations is,
doubtless due to the fact that these
influences have wrought more power
fully upon the white race than upon
the colored.

THE NEW BROWNE BLOCK.
The New Building Nearly Completed. Every Office Taken
browne & Co. will Occupy Their New
Store in Few DAYS.

The building is to be heated
throughout with steam and the
plumbing has been done by the local
firm of Webster & Sanders. This
work has been done in thorough
manner and the job, as it stands
completed, reflects much credit on the
firm. There are II raditors, making
1900 feet of radiatiDg. The only fire
in the building will be under section
boiler in the basement, from which
steam is carried in a fourinch pipe and
distributed to each room in smaller
pipes. Every room in the block is
plastered with asbestos, thus making
tas near fire-proof as it is possible to
build this kind of building. This
block is equipped throughout with
fixtures for lighting both with gas
and electricity, thus giving the occu-
pants ample assurance of light at all
times. The gas will be made from
gasolene, which will be kept in tank
outside the building.
The rooms in the second story have
all been taken and will be ready for
occupancy in a few days. The front
room on the south side and the one
adjoining in the rear will be occupied
by T. c. Cheney as law and insur-
ance Office. The front room next
joining has been taken by G. A. Will
kins, insurance agent. In this room
Newton Camp will also have desk.
The next front room will be taken by
the Citizens Telephone Go.
j. Frank Jackson, DDS. has apart
ments in the north side, which will in
cIude the large frontroom for recep-
ton parlor and the room adjoining
to be used as laboratory and ex-
tracing room. The rooms back OF
the ones occupied by T. G. Cheney will
be used by DR.. c. S. Leach for an Of
fee and will make a very pleasant
location. DR.. A. B. Culley will have
an office opposite that OF DR.. Leach
and the two will occupy sleeping
apartments on this floor. The two
rear rooms on the south side OF the
hall will be occupied by c. E. Palmer,
the tailor.
A hallway six feet wide runs the
whole length of the building and an
entrance at the rear is provided and
everything in the line of furniture,
etc., taken into the building, will go
through this entrance. The building
is all finished in hardwood and is
made Of good material and in the
best manner possible.

Possibilities Of Agriculture.
(From Leslie's Weekly


The popular lecturer of the day who
sometimes discourses on "acres of
diamonds" might we'll use that term
as text for lecture on the enor-
nous fortunes made in modern times
in fruit, berry and vegetable culture.
1t is a demonstrable fact, attested
by the latest census reports, that
there is more money to be extracted
from the ground on our farm and
garden patches tnan in our mineral
belts of gold and silver. Financial
prospectuses that promise great divi-
dends promise nothing in compari-
son with the dividends from the plant
ing of single seed, and this is the
sort of speculation or investment
that every owner of few acres can
make tor himself. The total value of
the wheat produced in this country
in 1900 was more than 1923 000,-
600 and of corn more than $751; ,O0O,-
600, whereas our gold product in the
same period was little more than
SIS, 100000 and our silver about
$74 100000
But large and impressive as are the
figures showing the total of our agri-
cultural products each year, it is a
demoDstrable fact that this volume
of products might be increased from
fifty to a hundredfold were the same
amount ofingenuity, skill and energy
and business acumen applied to the
farming industry that is applied to
railroading, manufacturing and other
lines of human thought and endeavor
By an anomaly not easy of explana-
ton the farmers vocation, on which
the world must now and always de-
pend more than upon any other, the
chief source of our national wealth
and prosperity, is in the rear of all
other great human industries so far
as application of scientific principles
and the best results of modern study
and research are concerned. Methods
or systems of procedure which in a
modern counting room or in any
learned profession would be regarded
as antiquated, wasteful and fatal to
success, are still followed in the bust
ness of farming with the national re-
suit of bringing that occupation into
undeserved disrepute as yielding less
profit for a given amount of work
than almost any other.

Ifyou say "thank you" for seed or

"Old Maids Eyes" botanically
translated means Coreopsis.
Arum Lily" goes under the alias OF
slack. in the-Pulpit."
"Black. Eyed Susans" are the COM
mon dark centered yellow daisies.
"Youth and Old Age" isrepresented
by Zinnias.
elephant Ears" is the familiar ap-
pellation for Caladiums.
"Forget-me-not" is Myosotis.
Bachelor Buttons" is another way
for calling Globe Amaranth.
Glove Lies Bleeding" is in botany
called CIaudatus and takes it's former
name from the dropping sprays OF
red flowers adjoining it.
The formation of the Antirrhinum
is responsible for it's being nicknamed
"Snap Dragon"
Celosia is usually designated
Cocks Comb" because of it's resem-
blance to a ROSTERS crown of glory
Ills COuU.
"Balloon Vine" is generally called
"Love in-a-puff'' on account OF the
fact that each little balloon contains
three black pea.shaped seeds each
marked with white eye in the form
OF heart.
The single Basam is know as
Lady Slipper" owing to it's shape,
and the plant in general as "Touch-
me-NOt," the latter derived from the
sensitiveness of the seed pods, which,
when nearly ripe, will not permit you
to touch them without bursting
asunder and scattering the contents
all around.
"Centauria" would scarcely be rec
ogniz ID by the average person unless
you called it "Dusty Miller" The
leaves beautifully shaped and cut at
the edges look always as if they had
just been busted with four-hence the
nickname.
"Nicotina" must be the masculine
favorite of the garden since it sup
plies him with "weeds" and pipe
dreams galore. In other words it is
tobacco plant.

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN
Jake Miller Trained Down for a
 Friendly Contest.

The democratic county campaign is now officially on. It has been opened by Jake Miller, the candidate for su- pervisor, or one Of the candidates for supervisor. The announcement of the preparation for the firing of the first gun was made yesterday by Hi Eldred, neighbor of MT. Millers, and his bosom friend, so that the information may be believed to be authoritative. MT. Eldred said man came down from Prescott yesterday to buy some cattle. He came to his place and as he had none to sell he took him across to Miller, who always has cattle. There was nobody about the house and MT.
 Eldred and the cattle buyer went to the barn. They heard some kind of commotion behind the structure and going around to the other side they found Mir. Miller putting the finishing touches on his preparation for the campaign. One of his hired men was showing him how to shake hands in manner Neither the pupil nor the instructor observed the visit ors, but went on with the lesson. That's better" said the hired man; you're maxim. some improvement; you put some feelin' into it that time, but disable voters for life by crushin' their

fingers or jerkin' their arms out by the roots. All you have to do is to give 'em a friendly clasp an look 'em in the eye at the same time as if you didn't mean to do 'em bodily harm"
 1t appeared that MT. Miller went into training on the night of the democratic county convention. The hired man had a good deal of trouble with him at first The newly fledger candidate seemed to think that shaking hands was some kind of a physical contest in which success could be obtained only by the exercise of great physical strength and endurance. The instructor had a hard time of it in the beginning, and he said that he would rather perform al most any kind of manual labor he ever tried. The holiday MT. Miller had given him in exchange for instruction in handshaking was no picnic until he had got his pupil so that he could distin guish between an exchange of friendly civilities and a wrestling match. At the end of the second day MT. Miller had ceased to employ the strangle hold.

him was dismissed and he was found guilty of a misdemeanor and was sen fenced to the county jail for thirty days. He had been accused of stealing watch and large sum of money from GanuCheau, but it turned out that at the time he was seen to put his hand into Ganucheau's pocket there was neither watch nor money there. Some acquaintance of the travelling man had taken his property from him and de- posted it for safe keeping at the Pal ace saloon. He had about $S5 in cash.
 Before it was found out where the money was a search warrant had been procured and officers went through Bar rett's room. In the course of their hunt they found under a mating q pearl-handled knife which GanUcheau identified as his. That showed that Barrett had been through his pockets and intended. to- steal whatever he might find there. It was for this that he was held on the charge of a mis- demeanor.
 In all accounts of the robbery that have been published it has been stated that Ganucheau was a travelling sales man for this territory of the Sim mons Hardware company of St. Louis. That is an error. though Ganucheau has been working here in the ab- sence of the regular agent Mir w. S. Negus, a representative O: the cutlery department of the firm, said yesterday that the represen- tative of the company in the southwest is MT. H. M. Hunter, who was recently appointed to succeed MT Mosher, for several years the agent of the firm in this part of the country. MT. Hunter will shortly move to Phoenix with his family, and will make this place his headquarters.
