6roomstick Balance

This is a fine game for a rainy
evening. You need a clothes basket
and broomstick. Pass the broom
stick through the handles of your
clothes basket and raise the ends Of
the broomstick on a couple of chair
seats that face each other. See that
the basket swings freely on the
broomstick. Now on the front cor
ner of the chairs place a coin, four
in all. Then get some one to step
inside the basket and sit astride
the stick and, using a cane, try tc
knock off the four coins on the
chairs and then step to the ground
again. Now, this seems very easy
to do, but just try to do it and you
viii see your mistake. 1t is not very
difficult to get into the basket anc
to seat yourself on the broomstick
but after that is when your rea
trouble begins.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Carlo Learned to Take Care OF
the Home Chickens.

t1C TIOtnC SHtSNCuSs
Carlo early manifested love for
watching and chasing chickens, a
pastime not to be neglected with
the small opportunities of the city.
We soon, by kindness and frmness
and much talking, broke him of
disturbing our own chickens. We
often took little chick in our
hands and said to him, "Pretty
chicky, Carlos chicky," and allow
ed him to lick it gently. Soon it
was not only safe, but safer, to have
him in the pen with the chicks than
otherwise, as then no rat or mouse
dared venture there. From the first
Carlo has deemed these marauders
worthy of death whenever and
wherever seen and acts out his con-
victions. AS the chicks grew their
number was reduced to twelve, and
these were transferred to the barn.
Every night for two years Carlo
made detour of the perches, Civ
ing each fowl a good lick-they
were so acquainted it did not alarm
them at all-and if one or more Of
the number were absent he would
Immediately scour the premises un-
til it was found, then give pecul-
lar bark, indicating the discovery
nor would he give it up till The
number was complete. Gould he
count? How did he know there
should be just twelve, no more, nc
less ?-Mary b. Holmes in Science.

Here Tuddles, the pet tabby, is
looking after the welfare and early
training of three baby rats. Tud-
dies gave birth to four kittens a
short time ago, three Of which we're
drowned. She mourned their loss,
and the next morning her master
was surprised to find two small rats
keeping company with the lone kit
ten, with Tuddles fondly watching
over the three. The day following
she was seen to deposit another
young rat tenderly beside the other
foundlings, and she now purs as
contentedly over her strange brood
as though they were all Kittens

IMMENSE REVENUE FROM LICENSE
FEES.

We publish below an article from
the Anti-Saloon League showing
something of the working of the
license law:
Fair Haven gets as her half of the
town license fees 1880, and pays out
for extra police protection $1,000.
Middlebury receives s1210 and pays
out SIPS for additional police protec-
ton. Middlebury's license commits
sioners will cost her $500 more.
Vergennes receives $40 revenue
and pays out at present rate 1915 for
extra police force.
Ludlow receives as her half of
license revenue $3.50 and has engaged
policeman whom she pays SIPS for
the year.
Immense revenue?
In Burlington in one month A men
took their alternative sentence of ten
days in Jail. In st. Adams in three
months II men took ten days in Jail.
In Montpelier in three months Sc men
took ten days in Jail.
This means 2O70 days. board bill at
30 cts. a day, state must pay for
boarding DRINKS; i. g. S1035. AT this
rate the state will pay for board bill for
these three cities alone S587S. These
bills will add up much more rapidly
as the second offences come in.
Whence the revenue for the stated
The arrest and trial of these mer
who took their alternative sentence
of ten days in Jail costs an average o.
SO each; i. Q. POI cases cost these cities
s1656 or at the rate Of s9312 per year
Whence any revenue for the city o.
town?
The Montpelier Journal says:
A gentleman competent to judg,
and familiar with enough of the dat
to justify his judgment says that SOM
S7OO is spent each weekday for drinl
in this city. That would mean an ex
penditure of about S21S, 402 a year
nearly as much as Montpelier con
tributed to the building of the Mont
pelier and Wells River railway, an
enough, in not so many years, {
build the proposed railway to Rutlan
or, in about six months, to erect th
new city hall. Food for retiectio
and material for moralizing.
Awell known German doctor in on
OF Vermonts cities bore the followin
testimony to the liquor traffic undt
license: "Lsst year l could colle'
$3.50 per month. This year l cann'
collect $50. 1t is all going fl
whiskey." This bids fair to be I'll
common verdict of physicians, me
chants, landlords and tax collector
as saloons continue to extract Il
money from the pockets of the ave
age men who drink. How long sh;
il continue?
