Wsntcd to Starve to Death.

Paris has Just produced a curiosity
in a servant girl, who ate nothing for
IS days, having been reproached by
her mistress, and fearing dismissal,
the girl, who had recently arrived
from the country, locked herself in
a cellar, having only bottle of wafer
with her. All efforts to find her were
in vain, but at the end OF IS days she
was discovered by accident only just
alive, and has been restored to life.
She intended to starve to death.

PROGRESS in Porto Rico.

Porto Rico has strong disposition
to devote itself to practical matters.
An automobile line for the benefit of
tourists is making regular trips across
the island from San Juan to Ponce.
A plan is under consideration to place
powerful automobiles, drawing trail
ers, on the same road, for freight pur-
poses. Many fine roads are under con-
struction in the island, and the slow
bull carts hitherto used to carry
freight Will soon disappear.

The Consumers League.

A meeting of the executive committee
OF the St. Johnsbury Consumers League
was held Monday, at which plans
were made for a thorough canvass of the
town to secure new members, both men
and women, and to distribute literature.
The members of the executive committee
as elected last April are Mrs. c. w. Farr,
Mrs. Frank Miner, Mrs. N. P. Lowering,
Mrs George F. Cushman, Mrs. Frank D.
| Thompson, Mrs. A. c. Hussey, Mrs. A.
F. Walch, Mrs. W. P. Stafford, Mrs. B.
w. Spaulding, Mrs. Henry Fairbanks,
Miss Flora Morse, Miss Lucy M. SIN
clair. Because of Mrs. James Cushman's
removal from town in the near future
she resigned her position as secretary and
treasurer and Miss Mary E. Stone was
elected in her place. The object of the
Consumers League is to strive to create
a demand for goods made under right
conditions. The League asks no pledge
from it's members to buy or not to buy
certain goods, but asks them to inquire
for clothing bearing its label. All the
dry goods merchants of our town carry
these labelled goods. and one carries them
from II different manufacturers. The
League work is growing all over the
country. At the biennial meeting of Wo-
mans Clubs held in Los Angeles, Cal,
two very interesting halliday sessions
were held, with addresses by Mrs. Kelly,
secretary of the National League, Mrs.
Maude Nathan, president of the New
York city League, Miss Jane Adams of
Hull House, Chicago, and Others.
The question came up for discussion at

The verdict of a Jury.

Nothing is more uncertain than the
action Of a jury" said a lawyer prom,
inent in New York. II remember a
story my father told me when was
boy in Alabama. The story was Of his
Satanic majesty and plain citizen
who met one day on a narrow pathway
cut in the edge Of a cliff. On one side
there yawned precipice; on the other
side was the solid rock. There was
only room for one to pass, and Of these
two one must lie down and let the 9th.
er walk over him.
aft you'll PROFOUND three questions
can't answer suggested Satan, I'll
lie down and let you pass over my
body The citizen asked:
"'What Is whittier than snowP
"'Cotton,' was the answer.
"'What is sweeter than sugarp
""That's easy again-molasses.
"'What will be the next verdict ren.
dered in this county by a petit jury?

as he made carpet of himself"

Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee.

EDITOR OF CALIFORNIAN: | wonder how
many of your readers have read the ex-
ceedingly interesting account o" Novel
Commencement" published in the Bos-
ton Transcript, June 81. 1t is most de-
lightful description of remarkable occur
renee. The following extracts from 1t
will give some idea of the great work
which Booker 7. Washington has done
and is doing, and OF its results:
Then, down through this living lane OF
fourteen hundred young Negro men and
women, come the Institute teachers and
the graduates Of other years.
Booker Washington is a slngularly
modest man. So far as | know, no one
ever has accused him of any exhibition OF
vanity; but if his heart ever does swell
with pride it may not unreasonably be
at commencement time each year, when
he walks through this quadruple line OF
adoring faces-for alteration is the only
word which really expresses the feeling
which the students at Tuskegee have Tor
the principal-and remembers how less
than a quarter of a century ago, where
now is this small army of students and
this village of buildings, he began with
thirty untaught men and women IN a
shanty so shaky that student had to
hold an umbrella over the teachers head
in school when it rained.
All this is only part of commence
ment the like OF which for novelty and
utility believe it will be hard to sur
pass. Is it any wonder that two men,
bers of the London School Board, sitting
on the platform, said that they had come
four thousand miles to see Tuskegee, and
if they had come solely for that and
nothing else, they would have been well
repaid
Ofcourse there were diplomas, tied up
with white ribbon. 1t would not have
been a real commencement otherwise.
These young men and women have
worked as hard for their diplomas as
ever student worked, yes harder, good
many times, than many Of them. That
young man has worked five long years
to pay his way. That slender young
woman with sensitive oval face and
wavy hair has worked for four years in
the laundry here to pay her way.
After all, perhaps the best diploma
which they got was when Booker Wash
ington told them, LAS you go out from
here there is one thing l want to caution
you about. Don't go home and feel that
you are better than the rest of the folks
in the neighborhood because you have
been away to school. Don't go home
and feel ashamed of your parents be-
cause you think they don't know as much
as you think you know. Don't think
you are to good to help them. 1t would
be better for you not to have any educa-
ton, than for it to have made you feel
so that you 60 home and do that" y y \

Ca+put From SiIlxworms.

Probably but small percentage Of
the fishermen who use flies strung with
fine translucent catgut are aware that
the almost unbreakable substance that
holds the hooks against the f1ercest
struggles of the struck fish comes from
silkworms. The principal center of
the manufacture of this kind of cat
gut is the island Of Procida, in the bay
of Naples but most Of the silkworms
employed are raised near Tore An
nunziata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The
caterpillars are killed just as they are
about to begin the spinning of cocoons,
the silk glands are removed and sub.
jected to a process of picking, which
is a secret of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women. The
length of the thread varies from q
foot to nearly twenty inches.

VIII Go To Athens.

The Nashua Telegraph speaks with To-
cal pride of the fact that two graduates
OF the Nashua high school of which Lem
uel S. Hastings is principal have recently
won scholarships in Massachusetts in
stitutions which entitle them to a course
friends of Mr.. Hastings will be pleased
to learn that one of these young men
was Mr.. Hastings son, Harold R., who
began his education in the st. Johnsbury
public schools. Harold Hastings has
won the Charles Eliot Norton fello wship
Greek at Harvard which entities him
years study in the American school
Athens. He was salutatorian Of his

Big Fire at Grants Pass.

St. Johnsbury people will regret to
learn that a disastrous fire visited
Grants Pass, Oregon, May &c, entirely
destroying the factory and mills Of the
Sugar Pine Sash and Door Company, OF
which H. c. Kinney, formerly of this
town is president. There was 100000
feet lumber destroyed, another lumber
factory and six dwelling houses. Mr..
Kinney estimates his company's loss at
$4,000 with an insurance of $31, 900.
About 400 men were employed by the
Sugar Pine Company and the fire will
mean a severe loss to that town. Mr..
Kinney believes the mills will be rebuilt
at once on smaller scale as the COM
pany has lot OF orders ahead.
This is the second time Mr.. Kinney has
lost his lumber property by fire and his
many Eastern friends extend their SYM
patty at his misfortunes.

The Hyde Park "FIyer."

The Morrisville News & Citizen makes
the following comment on locally ia.
nous train;
The summer schedule of trains on the
St. ]. & L. c. road goes into effect June
% and once more the celebrated Hyde
Park "Flyer" will begin its season OF
rapid transit" between the Lamoille
and Caledonia county seats. By the
summer schedule any one so desiring can
take passage on the flyer at Hyde Park
at 5.45 a. M. and (barring hot boxes or
other accldents) can travel to st. Johns
bury, a distance of SO miles and return in
the same day, arriving back in Hyde
Park at II 20 p. m. Bear in mind that
this includes ample time for refreshments
in ST. Johnsbury, and it should also be
understood that passage on this rapid
transit" is no more dangerous than a
trip on the regular train.

A Sleepy Visitor.

Josephine Gochee, a girl about 20 years
old, who claims Barnet as her home, but
is really resident of Grafton county, N.
h., gave the authorities here, last week,
an experience which has often been repeat
ed IN nearby New Hampshire towns.
She is somewhat demented, and while
riding on trains apparently falls into a
sort OF trance from which it is impossible
to awaken her. She has been confined at
the county farm in Haverhill for some
time, but escaped last week and made a
pilgrimage to this vicinity. She seemed
determined to stay in the depot night
and day, employing the trance dodge a
portion of the time. She was elected
several times and finally Sheriff Sullowav
was called. Although she refused to
come or 60 in any direction, he finally
persuaded her to take a south bound
train in company with himself and Select.
