81 GOOD STATE," INDEED.
Tribute Of Former Vermont Man to
The Green Mountain State

moral worth of the people of YER

ple-my people has advanced sew

hard-headed good sense that won't be
discounted, the moral integrity and
uprightness, a general knowledge and
intelligence tnat counts

If the Indians of the ancient Chicka-
hominy tribe in King William and
New Kent counties, Virginia. retain
any of the pride that is generally ac-
credited to their race, that pride must
be rudely shocked by the workings of
the new constitution in the "Old Do
minion." This provides that separate
books be provided for the white and
colored voters and the registers refuse
to allow poor Lo to enroll with the
former, consequently most of the tribes.
men have refused to register at all.

Senator Proctor has been fined for
killing a raccoon in the woods. Still,
that's better than following the usual
plan of the amateur sportsman and
killing the guide. Washington Post.
If by this the Post means to class
Senator Protector as an amateur sports
man it will frd few sympathizers in
Vermont, for at home the Senator is
famed far and wide as hunter and
fisherman of real ability and skill, and
Vermonters will never stand for any
libel on that score.

THE VALUE OF FOODS.

The department of agriculture has
just announced the results of series
of experiments TO determine the diet
airy value of certain food stutfs and
although the results may not be of
great advantage 70 the human race
they are nevertheless interesting.
The investigation has covered period
of several years and for two years
/ Prof Jatfa of, the University of
Chicago has worked in connection
with the department, conducting ex-
/ periments in the matter of digestion,
The foods tes1ed were of the sort not
controlled by the trusts, and the result
demonstrates that on pinch the race
could exist without the ordinary ar
ticles of food which seems so neces-
sary.
Nine dietary studies and thirty-on
| digestion experiments were carried
on. In the majority of the dietary
studies and all but one of the diges-
tion experiments fruit and nuts con-
stituted all or almost all of the diet.
The results of the investigation en-
phasized the fact that both fruit and
nuts should be considered as true
foods rather than food accessories.
The subjects were two women, three
children, two elderly men, and two
university students. The men all did
hard manual labor during part of
the time. the students working to sup
port themselves while pursuing their
studies.
The fare given in these experiments
was in every case one that would ap
peal to any normal appetite. 1t en-
braced honey, tomatoes, apples, bana-
mas, cantaloupe, grapes, verbal, corn
ichon, tokay, muscat, scarlet haws,
pears, pomegranates, persimmons,
oranges, strawberries, watermelons,
figs. almonds, and peanut butter.
The only animal foods allowed were
cottage cheese and eggs, and these in
limited quantities. The cost of such
diet varied from FIFTEEN to eighteen
cents day. Comparative expert
ments were carried along in which
animal foods were employed under
the usual conditions Of living, and in
these the daily cost ran from twenty
to thirty cents. 1t was found thai
t the food eaten supplied about 60 pei
8 cent of the protein usually secured by
, the average meat diet, while health
: and strength continued the same, i.
not improved, and in two or three
cases there was slight gain in fiesl
| and weight.
One of the chief objects of thu
4 series of experiments was to furnish
data as to the value of nuts as food

There has just been issued from the
Republican office at st. Johnsbury a
pamphlet which demonstrates that all
branches OF good bookmaking are pos
sible in Vermont. The book is entitled
"Phoebe," a poem by Miss Alice

is descriptive of a little fresh air girl s

sor. But we will wait until some-
thing tangible is accomplished before
suggesting changes in the route. A
road from here through Woodstock to
Rutland would save many hours of
travel to travellers. 1t may seem
queer, but the most feasible route
from the Junction to Bennington,
which is connected by rail with Rut-
land, is through Bellows Falls and
Brattleboro to Greenfield, Mass. and
thence through the Hoosic tunnel to
bennington.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN HAIR.
NESS.

1t is just past twenty-five years
since w. H. Bishop became editor of
the Essex County Herald and that
genial newspaper man takes the &C.
casion to say personal word in the
Herald's editorial columns. The gist
of his remarks is in the following
sentences.
We have from the first striven to
realize the high and worthy profess
sional ideal of the province of jour
nallsm, including manly discussions
of political, business and social prob
lens affecting our little constituency,
and the advocacy of such measures as
appear to us honorable in themselves
ana best fitted to promote the public
veal. We desire to continue in this
course. Our main object is the en-
enlargement of every undertaking
and project having in view the adj
vancement and prosperity of Essex
county, as we'll as the advocacy of
such policy as we believe most likely
to benefit the country
No newspaper maker whether he be
in country hamlet or great metropolis
could have higher ideal for his call
ing than this, and those familiar with
the Herald know that Mr.. Bishop has
not come very wide of the mark at
which he aimed. His paper has been
and is small, but in it may always be
! found something away above the
average of country newspapers, and
never anything that is trashy or val
ueless. Long live the Herald and
long may Editor Bishop stand at the
helm.

King GuStavuS III. of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court of Schwcrin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany, and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklcnburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But GuStavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two of his attcndantS-a page
named PcyrOn and Desvouges, valet
who had formerly been an actor-to
be entertained by the duchess. The
two personatcd the king and his min
lister, Baron Spare, and sustained the
characters throughout. They accepted
as their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented to
them, and PCyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait.
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying him
