The production Of several kinds of tea

in addition to this 1t is encouraging to
note that experts who have examined the
tea produced here pronounce it equal In
flavor and aroma to the best imported
leaves. The profit in the crop raised last
year averages from $50 to $40 an acre.
During the last wear large tea gardens
have been conducted near Summerville.

"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"I1l try to-" we answer. We do take a little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
int1ammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have "a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW

prevent the engagement of blood in the

cold and avoid a serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters nave a dis

DRUMMER BOY OF SHILOH.
How n Brave Lad Won This Title
During the War of Rebellion.

Recently at Marion, Ind, w. II.
Merchon celebrated his fifty-ninth
birthday anniversary, but if he lives as
long rs Methuselah he will still be the
Drummer Boy of Shiloh" the brave
boy who led the attack at that battle,
saved his captains life and captured a
Confederate colonel. 1t all happened
In about sixty seconds on the famous
field Of Shiloh, a fierce charge of the
Thirtieth Indiana volunteer skirmish-
ers on the flank of q rebel battery.
Will Merchon was the trumpeter, de-
tailed from the drum corps, and, rush
ing through a dense underbrush, came
out q few feet ahead Of his company.
The boyish heart stood still as he
found himself in the presence Of a
rebel colonel, who was on horseback
accommodating the field. He instantly
covered the boy with his revolver and
commanded him to surrender. Mer-
chon threw up his hands, showing he
was unarmed.
At this instant Merchon's captain
sprang from the thicket, and the Con-
federate. thinking the boy was weapon
less, Immediately covered the Federal
officer, but as he made the movement
Merchon drew a revolver from his hip
pocket and got the drop on the colonel.
1t was a dramatic tableau, and the
boys in blue, who at that moment
swung into line, rolled on the ground
and kicked up their heels in al ecstasy
of delight as the youthful trumpeter
ordered the gray headed officer to sur
render. The crestfallen southerner
obeyed, and the captain ordered him
taken to the rear. The charge was
continued and the battery captured, a
lieutenant colonel, q major and the
colonel being taken prisoners.
But Merchon received injuries that
eventually put him on the veteran re-
serve corps, az, about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, a shell exploded on the
ground on his right. He threw himself
on his face and escaped being torn to
pieces, though he was seriously injured
on hip and spine.
That night as the soldiers gathered
around the campfire the story was told
of the plucky little bugler being a
prisoner for half q minute and then
saving his captains life by capturing
his captor. In honor of his extraor-
binary exploits he was nicknamed the
Drummer Boy Of Shiloh" and when
he won the reputation Of being the fin
est drummer in Uncle Sans service he
bore no other name in the army of the
Cumberland and the army of the Ten
nessee.

THE FARMER BOY.
What He Has a Right to Expect.
Compared to the City boy.

Compared to the City boy.
The following are extracts from n
prize essay written by Charley Hayne
Of Johnson, Neb., q thirteen-year-old
boy, for a farmers institute. The sub
ject of the essay is THE Boy on the
Farm" We quote only a few para
graphs from the remarkably good COM
position:
Though he should do his share Of
the work, the boy on the farm ought to
be given some of his own time. He
ought to have plenty of good books
and games. If allowed to finish at a
common country school, he will have a
fair education. The boy should have
a room and q place for his things. He
ought to have n pig or a calf. He
might do as a boy in Kansas did. The
farmer gave the boy a small potato
and told him he could have land to
raise the increase thereof until the boy
became Of age. At the end of the
fourth year the boy had 400 bushels Of
potatoes, and the man wanted to be
released from his bargain. Another
man in Kansas gave one OF his chill
dren two old hens and said he would
feed the increase for foul years. Two
years have passed. and the boy has 200
chickens and $64 in the bank. The
man says he is afraid that in two more
years the boy will own the place and
charge him rent for living there.
Give the boy a share of the garden
truck. If he has a colt or a calf, he is
more apt to care for it and the rest of
them better. You could let him have a
pair Of skates, a gun and maybe a
watch without missing the cost very
much. If he wants to use q hammer,
saw or ak, let him use them, but teach
him to put them in their places when
he gets through with them.
What advantage has a farm boy i?
Perhaps you say he has none, but does
the city boy have all the sunshine or
exercise that he needs? The city boy
does not come in contact with nature
as much as does the country boy.
Compare the farm boy of today with
one of fifty years ago. Then he didn't
get much schooling, generally went
barefoot, and even when snow was on
the ground he had to put on a pair Of
old shoes that his brother wore the
winter before.
"A boy should be thankful that he
doesn't have to shuck corn barehanded
and always take a down row or bind
wheat by hand. Who invented the ma
chimes for labor saving that are on the
up to date farm? Did the city boy in
rent these? The common country boy
knows enough to make his head save
his heels
what more can a farm boy want?
He has good reading matter, good
schools, good exercise and a good liv-
ing

IN BAY STATE

Boston Association Holds Its Annual
Meeting and Banquet at Hotel vendome.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 24-Tbe Vermont
Association of Boston held here this even
ing its largest reunion in the l6 years Of
its existence, over $50 being present. The
guests of the association were Mayor
Donly c.. Hawley Of Burlington, VT.
Gov. w. w. Stickney of Vermont, Gov.
John l.. Bates of Massachusetts, Col. g..
b. M. Harvey of New York, head Of
Harper's Publishing Co., and Herbert
Parker, attorney general of Massachu-
sets. Senator w. p. Dillingham;, who
had hoped to be present, was unable to
attend, owing to official duties in Wash
ington. Letters of regret were also re-
ceived from Admiral Dewey, Congress
man George E. Foss, and Leslie Shaw,
secretary.elect of the treasury portfolio.
The officers of last year were reelected
as follows: President, Hon. Edgar j.
Sherman vice presidents, Col. Josiah ii.
Benton, Col. Albert Clarke; secretary
and treasurer, n. i. Sheldon, Esq;
chaplain, Rev. William II. Davis, ID. D.;
executive committee, James M. Gleason,
Hon. George G.. Proctor, Hon. George
w. Bishop, Joseph F. Scott, Arthur l..
Robinson, Guy Lambkin, Col. Charles X.
Darling, Isaiah r. Clark, Col. Everett c.
Benton.
The association has gained in member
ship the last year and now has 424 men,
bers.
The post prandial exercises were thor
oughly enjoyed. 1t was a fine sight to
look down the banquet hall of the Hotel
Vendome and see seated around it busi-
ness and professional, men who stand high
in Massachusetts who first saw the light
in some humble farm house in a small
country town in Vermont. The women
too who sat with these men were almost
invariably daughters of the Green Noun
tain State. Their native thrift has help
ed make the Bay State prosperous. 1t
was not formally decided tonight that
the association should make a trip to
Vermont on Old Home Week as it did
last August, but President Sherman
said that he thought that last years eX-
cursion was so successful that it ought
to be tried again and the sentiment is
plainly in favor of going once more.
Gov. Stickney and Mayor Hawley of
Burlington bespoke a hearty welcome if
the trip is decided upon, as it probably
will be later in the year.
In his address Mayor Hawley spoke
e%loquently and expressed his confidence
in the future of Vermont, while Gov.
Stickney spoke with pride of her past
history. Col. Harvey said that while he
was proud Of Vermont's sons of gener-
ations past, she never had greater men
than she had to-day in Dewey, Clark
and Dillingham;.
The address by Lieut.-Gov. John L.
Bates of Massachusetts and Attorney
General Herbert Parker was full , of
praise for the Green Mountain State.
Mr.. Bates said in closing: I'VE always
welcome your arrival in the Bay State.
You nave now sent us 10000 sons and
daughters and if you can spare more. we
shall be pleased to adopt them and honor
them as we do you"

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.


It is m Of the peculiarities Of the
Chinese that, while they have develop
ed elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none of them
has led to any confidence in the uni
formity of nature. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes of rainfall. The plan
In some provinces when the need of
rain is felt is to borrow a god from a
neighboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. If his answer is
satisfactory, he Is returned to his hoNe
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out In the sun as a hint
to wake up and do his duty. A bunch
of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow is sensitive to mois.
ture.
Another plan in extensive use is the
are wells containing several iron tab
let's. When there Is a scarcity of rain,
q messenger starts out with a tablet
marked with the date Of the journey
and the name Of the district making
the petition. Arriving at another city,
he pays a sun of money and is allow
ed to draw n new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way of ex-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall IS
always due, and a limit of ten days
Is set for their effective operation. Un-
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are in progress, the umbrella,
among other objects. comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.
