Repeated trials have shown that the
American people can safely place their
"Reliance" on the new cup defender.

That the rural free delivery system is
appreciated and is doing a world OF good
in bringing the distant, isolated farmers
in touch with the world in which they
live is shown by a little incident attend
ing the opening of the new route through
Plymouth lart week. When the carrier
reached that little village he received a
regular ovation. Guns were fired, bells
rung and whistles blown; the school
house was decorated and there was
music and speeches. The speakers SAID
that it would mean better things for
them and for their children in being able
to keep in touch with the outside world
In some instances they had been for two
or three weeks unable to get their mail.
They promised to make great effort to
Put their roads into better shape and to
keep them open in the winter. They
offered to assist the carrier in every way
possible. The r. f. ID. is one of the
greatest boons the Grange has succeeded
in establishing for the benefit of the

Alcohol is a necessary evil in liquid
kidney remedies.
They spoil without it.
But with alcohol the most effective
drugs are powerless, and dealers who
offer liquid kidney remedies containing,
as they must, cheap preservative alcohol,
would not hesitate to sell YOU alcohol
and water for brain fever or sun stroke.
The amount of alcohol in each bottle
is small, you are told.
But why take any at all when it is
acknowledged that alcohol promotes
kidney disease, when once started,
as nothing else in the world can do;
The serious objection to liquid kidney
remedies in the minds of physicians.

disorders; superior to all kidney remedies
because its efficiency is unimpaired by
alcohol; the one kidney remedy that

If you have rheumatism, headaches,
and dyspepsia; if your water is sluggish,

The report of the listers of Montpelier
showing over one million dollars worth
of property exempt from taxation in
that city alone, is a matter worthy of
more than a passing thought. Little
by little the list of property exempt
from taxation in Vermont has grown
until it is a serious question if radical
change should not be made Some of
the best students of political economy,
and our wisest statesmen, argue that it
would be better for the state if all eX-
emptions were abolished and property of
every kind and nature was taxed equally,
OF the property exempt, in Montpelier,
the larger items are made up as follows:
Churches, 1896, 800; state property, $3.50,
900; stone sheds, $4,000: city property,
S191 800; federal building, 100000

CIRCUMSTANCES AGAINST HER.
Honora Had Water on the Brain and
1t Never Dried Up-Her other
Troubles.

Honora's recitations warranted the
belief that she was not studying very
hard. There were stupid girls in the
room, but Miss Allison, the teacher,
suspected that Honora's deficiencies
were due to idleness rather than to
stupidity. She gave the girl every
chance to mend her ways, but there
was no improvement. Then at last the
teacher wrote an urgent little note to
Honora's mother, and Mrs. Casey came
up to the schoolhouse to see about it,
says Youths Companion.
Sure, I'm not faultin' yous, darlin',"
Mrs. Casey began, amicably. Indeed,
her rosy face fairly radiated good ma
ture. "But tits not all Hon ora's fault,
dye mind? She had wather on the
brain when she was shmall and" the
mother added, tragically, sit niver
dried up. Take notice, spake TO her
sudden, so as she gets flustered, and
yen see the mist risin' from her hair.
And is it her geography bothers ye?
Whisper, darlin'. IT'S Honora's broth
ers that twishts up her geography.
Michael works at the Pacific foundry
on Meridian street, and Terence is a
clerk for the India company on Atlantic
avenue, and so the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans, and meridians of longitude
and India do be rowlin' over and over
in her head like. Sure, she knows all
thin things We teached her, all, yes,
indade, but she reminders thin in the
wrong places, poor child!
Its her fathers fault if she do be
wake at figure. More be token she
mightn't be if ye gave her sums in
potatoes and apples, dye mind? Twas
only lasht summer her father was
afther tryin' her wild his measures and
what was left over from the peddlin',
and she knew fine the differ betwixt
a peck and bushel then. Try her wild
potatoes and apples, darlin', and if We
find her father misteached her I'll la,
it on to him, | will so.
81 blame meself for Honora's writ
in, what wild me jogglin' the table wild
me ironin' when she'd be afther prac-
ticin', poor child! But sure what can
you expect, anyways, from one wild
