UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER,
eovsraAsat $4,000, 900 OF
Their SAVAGE.

Tho American soldier IL coming &C.
be thrifty person, who saves his
money and uses the government OF
the United States a. q depository.
A long time ago, when rates for
money ranged from five to six per
cent, law was passed by congress
authorizing tho war department to
take deposits from soldiers and paw
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent.
OF course, at the time that was a
low rate of interest, but in these
days of two and three per cent. from
the savings banks it il . very high
rate. For a few years after the law
was passed the savings fund amount
ed to almost nothing. Then the SOL
diers realized that this was an excep-
tfonally good way OF saving, and
many Of them started accounts with
the government. says . Washington
report.
A few years ago soldier received
an honorable discharge and drew $lo,.
900 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier. who had re-
ceived and deposited q cash inheri-
lance during his term of enlistment,
drew $4,000. But these were exceu-
tional cases. However. during the
last fiscal year the soldiers of the
government deposited with tho war
department upward Of $4,000. 900, and
that money il now drawing four per
cent. interest.
At the time that this law was
passed there were many assertions
from the army, and it was provided
that if a soldier deserted he should
lose oil the savings he had on &C.
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount OF money ON de-
post with the governments he be-
comes better soldier and never do.
serts. i, y f..
His independence and interest in
his work increase in proportion with
his savings account, and the govern
ment is thus well repaid for the
rather high rate Of interest that IL
allows upon soldier dspossts.

How'll Has FaIlen uponhths People
With Prosperous Times


America was very slow during the nrst
so years Of the republic. Indeed. up TO
the breaking out of our civil war the
inequalities of fortune were not so
marked rs to make those who lived
sumptuously according to the stand
ards Of those days seem 50 farremoved
from the merely well-to-do Is to be al
most in another world. In the earlier
days, any sober and Industrious man
could prosper, even though he did not
perform merely manual labor. There
was work for every one to do, and no
one was more in demand than Mr.. Jack
of-all-trades, who now walks superflu-
GUS in the dusty highway, with no one
to applaud his ada ptability, none to
need his ingenious services. Food was
plenty, land was cheap, rents we're low.
BE honest and you will be happy, was
not mere cant; it was the solemn and
the grateful truth Pretty nearly
every one lived well, but pretty nearly
all lived plainly. With better houses.
with better water supplies, with i'm
proved lamps for illumination and
then with the introduction Of illum-
mating gas, and most of all with the
greater wealth which came at tire end
of the civil war, the growth of luxuri-
GUS living began taking tremendous
strides. Luxury with poor light after
sunset, luxury with few of the means
Of personal cleanliness, does not mean
much to us nowadays. Why, man in
q Harlem fiat at 5000 q year can COM
mand more of the kind Of luxury Just
mentioned than say the. dissolute
Charles III. ever dreamed of. But the
wealth that comes with new fortunes
to new people was really what began
the race which may be. called the Mil
lionaire Stakes for all ages, says q
writer in Ainslee's Magazine.
Before these stakes were opere1
there were few fortunes in this coun-
try. Some were made in the trade with
the east, some were made in strictly
domestic commerce. some were found
ed in piracy, and other adventures by
sea. but the greatest number and the
most stable were those which came
from the shrewd investments in land
which was enhanced in value by the
growth Of cities. Evenup to the time
that the newly rich began to snlurve.
the owners of the fortunes Just ,@on-
TONED were pretty generally tolerably
plain people, who lived very quietly
and looked upon those who made un-
usual display as too vulgar to come in
side the sacred pale which called itself
society. In New York, this class of
people at the time mentioned lived in
the .neighborhood, Of Washington
Square: in Philadelphia. toward the
foot OF Walnut street, and in D6etcn. in
that ever sacred Beacon street. They
were slow but sure. They bad NO
doubt about their position, or the pro-
priety with which they maintained
their dignity. They did what they
pleased: but they did not please to be
in the least fantastic, Theatre, os.
tentatious or conspicuous. And uptil
the newly rich had arrived, with the
manifest intention to stay perna nent-
~. there were none with either the am
bit'on or the ability to dispute this eu.
premacy. which was maintained not nv
an aegre.*iveness, but by the passive
power Of inertia.

Blown Through a Roof.

M. Bemis of Poulthey met q horrible
death Dec. 18th by the explosion of a
boiler. He was with others in the
boiler room of the Truthville Paint
Cos. works. At the time the eXplo-
sion occurred the men were seated
about the boiler eating their dinners.
The boiler exploded without any
warning whatever and the men were
blown in all directions. Bemis. who
was seated right up against the boiler,
was blown up through the roof and
landed at the bottom of slate quarry
100 feet deep and 80 feet distant. His
body was found several hours later by
some of the employees OF the company,
who were in another part OF the mill
at the time the boiler exploded. II
was identified by the remnants Of the
clothing which the man wore. Several
of the other men who were in the
boiler room were so badly injured that
it was thought they might die. but
they are doing well at the present
time.
The officials Of the company are az a
loss to account for the boiler explod-
ing as il had recently been tested and
pronounced in good condition.

Christmas at sheIburne Farms.

A grand Christmas celebration was
held at Shelburne Farms, the home OF
DR.. and Mrs. w. s. Webb, on the
afternoon OF Dec. path. Shelburne
House, with its 100 rooms was entirely
given over to the festivities which
included an entertainment by the
famous magician. Prof. Edwin Plate
of New York. music by some of the
guests present, and magnificent
Christmas tree from which were dis
tributed hundreds of pretty and useful
gifts. Every person in the company
received something, and each gift was
valuable.
Those present included the resident
employees of Shelburne Farms and
their families and many guests from
New York, Philadelphia and other
points.
The celebration took place in the
billiard parlors at the house, rooms
large enough to easily accommodate
the big crowd present. besides giving
room tor the tree loaded with its
bountiful gifts.
The house from top to bottom was
brilliantly lighted with hundreds of
electric globes and deliberately deco
rated and festooned with laurel roping.
holly and mistletoe, besides pro-
fusion OF palms and flowers from Doc
tor Webb's own hot houses.
Both the doctor and his wife re-
ceived the guests with genial hospi-
tally, and helped distribute the pres
ents as they were taken from the tree.
1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered by those present, and was
one of the most successful festivals
ever attempted by Doctor and Mrs.
Webb, who for the past few years
have celebrated the Christmas season
with the employees in something after
the same manner.

A movement considering the advisa-
bility OF establishing in Boston head
quarters for Vermonters was inaugu-
rated last week at Young's hotel when
a special committee of thirty members
of the Vermont association met fol
that purpose.
IL is proposed TO make these head.
quarters of benefit to young native
Vermonters who are leaving their ma
tive state and going to Boston perma-
nently.
The idea, which originated with Col.
Josiah II. Benton, Jr., was unanimous
" endorsed after full discussion. Col.
Benton thinks such an exchange will
cost about 5000 a year. He propos-
ed TO have suitable rooms in the heart
of the city and have all the Vermont
newspapers on file in the rooms and a
paid secretary in charge of the associ-
atoms affairs.
He thinks that many philosophical
citizens of Vermont would cooperate
in maintaining such headquarters and
it is likely that an opportunity will be
given to render such assistance as they
may see fit. II is to be place for visit
ing Nermonters who are in the city Tor
only a short time to meet free OF
charge.
The matter is now in the hands OF
a subcommittee and if the plan is
adopted, as seems probable, the mead
quarters will be established within a
short time.

To Discontinue Work at Eden Mines


1t has been known by some for a
long time that the property in Eden
owned by the New England Asbestos
Mining Co. was not turning out the
quantity and quality of asbestos that
was expected. As far back as Sep
TENDER the directors of the company
held a meeting at Fall River, Mass,
and they then decided to increase their
capital stock to 81 SOC. 900, and at the
same time secured options on several
properties in Canada which they now
have purchased. These Canadian
mines are some that have been worked
for some time and the quality of the
stock there is assured.
IL is said on good authority that the
stockholders of the Eden property will
not lose anything but their stock will
be transferred TO the new company's
mines in Canada, which will be known
as the New England-Canadian Ashes
tos Co. OF Fall River. The company
has put about 100000 into their
plant in Eden and just what DISPOSE
ton will be made of il is not known
at present. but portion OF the ma
chinery will probably be shipped 70
their new mines.
The asbestos company began TO be
talked about nearly three years ago
and there are several people who have
had property in the mining region who
have profited by the sale of their land
at good prices but they are the only
ones aside from the general good
which the business has done to those
who came in contact with 1t.
