True Every w ord &.

The Sherman band of Burlington will
furnish music for the Addison county
fair this year. We understand that
none of the bands in the county applied
for the job, hence no kick can be made
against the fair managers for going out
side for music. The managers are doing
their best to make the fair a success, and
their efforts should be appreciated by the
people of every town in the county. At
the coming fair, to be held September l.,
?, and 4, there should be a larger
number of exhibits from the north end
of the county than has been the case in
years gone by. The fair is for the entire
county and if all the farmers will join
hands and exhibit some of their cattle,
horses, sheep. poultry, corn, oats, fruits
vegetables, etc, this years fair will be
the leading one of the state. Farmers it

De ath of Arthur E. Aldrich.

At his home in Concord, n. H., on the
morning of the 14th inst, died Arthur
f. Aldrich in the 10th year of his age.
This news will sadden many hearts in
this community where he had many
friends. Mr.. Aldrich was a gentleman
of most agreeable presence, a true friend,
"A loving husband and father, and a sue
cessful business man. Thirteen years
ago he married Tessie Gertrude Kings
ley, eldest daughter of James T. Kings
ley, of Middlebury, who, survives a
happy union with him, and has with her
son and two daughters, all under ten
years of age. Mr.. Aldrich was vice
president of the Peerless Manufacturing
Co, manufacturers of ladies' underwear
and dress skirts, with three large fac
tories in New England. This corpora,
ton he was active in building up, and
was one of its most efficient officers.
His family have usually passed theil
summers here. The deepest sympathy
is felt by her many friends for Mrs
Aldrich, whose noble companion is thus
taken away in his prime.

Within the last few months the
women of the country districts Of

occupation in the government service.
Some hundreds of them all over the
country have been appointed rural
letter carriers, and the reports to the
department show that the women
have done wonderfully well in their
new occupation.

THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.

Money if Mi-o-na Does Not Cure Dys'
pepsia and Increase Flesh.

There are hundreds of people in Mid
dleburv who were not the least bit sur
prised when they read i'll the Register
that DR.. w. II. Sheldon was selling
Mi-o.na under guarantee to refund the
money, in case it did not cure indiges-
ton and increase weight.
This remarkable preparation is a true
hesh-forming food, that builds up good,
healthy, solid tissues, and makes thin
ness and scrawniness a thing of the
past.
1t tones up the digestive organs, and
will cure the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the depressed,
weak condition that atllicts nearly every
one who suffers with stomach trouble.
Mona does not simply relieve; it does
lasting good.
In 0S out of every 100 cases where
Mona is used. the result is a restoration
of perfect harmony between height and
weight, and an absolute and permanent
cure of stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in Middle
bury who are recommending Mi-o-na
because it cured them. \ few months
ago they were thin and dyspeptic, and
could eat nothing without fear OF stom-
ach trouble. Since using Mi-o-na they
have made noticeable gain in flesh, can
eat what they want, and when they
want. without fear of suffering.
Remember tnat you risk nothing in
buving Mona. If it gives you the
desired effect the cost is tritiing, if II
fails DR.. Sheldon will pay for the remedy
himself.

A CLEVER ILLUSTRATION
WITH CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

There is an old formula in philosophy
which says that no two things can Oc-
cupy the same place at the same time.
AS simple illustration, drive IA nail in
to a board and you will find with every
stroke of the hammer, the nail will force
aside the particles of wood into which il
is being driven, finally making Il place
for itself, and proving that the nail and
the wood do not occupy the same place
at the same time.
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS

nedys Favorite Remedy cannot occupy
the same place at the same time Ifyou
are troubled with frequent pains in the
back; if your urine stains linen; if you
urinate frequently during the night, and
burning pain accompanies its passage,
your kidneys and bladder are in bad
shape and should be treated at once
Every dose of DIR DAVID KEN
NEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY slowly
but surely pushes aside some of the par
ticles of the dread diseases of the kid
neys and bladder, liver, blood rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia and constipation, until
they completely disappear. Do not lose
faith or find fault, if you are not entirely
cured by one bottle, because if these dis
eases have fastened their grip on you
the longer and harder it is to drive them
away

WHAT GIN OFFICE" MEANS.
Some imes Nothing More Than MeniaI
or LabOrer About the Ma
TONS Capitol.

"In Office" Those two little words
are more significant of broken prom
ises, blighted faith and blasted hopes
than any other two in the language.
AT the same time they convey pride
of possession that is the breath of
life to some people, says the Wash
lngton Post. y colored maid recently
employed by the wife of a southern
senator confided to Mrs. Senator that
her STEADY company was sin office, :"
and the pride with which she made
the announcement indicated her be-
lief that he was in a class not far re-
moved from the senator. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the maids
STEADY was laborer in one of the
departments. But here is the other
picture: An elevator conductor at the
capitol was one of the most influential
politicians in his section of a western
state. He was an important factor
in the community in which he lived.
He had a good business and money
in bank. The desire of his life was
to be Gin office" He came to Wash
ington with the senator whose cleo
ton he had championed, expecting
to obtain lucrative position at once.
He was disappointed. Too proud to
return to his home town without hav-
ing tasted the fruits of political Of
fee, he waited many weary months.
Finally his senator got the position of
elevator conductor for him. Now, this
man whose influence was sought by a
senator and who cut an important
figure in his own state, is serving at
the call of anybody at the capitol ca
pable of pressing a push button. A
few days ago he escorted party of
his old friends and neighbors to the
principal points of interest about the
city. They wanted to see the presi-
dent, and, putting on a bold front,
he took them to the white house and
made the effort. Unfortunately, the
president was engaged with some
members of the cabinet or he might
have received the party. AS it was,
the rebuff added only a trifie to the
burden of disappointment already
borne by the man Sin Office"

FASHIONS OF THE HOUR.

Black lace is taking the place of
white and cream for day and evening
wear.
Violets are taking a new lease of life
with spring in the not far distant fu-
ture.
A style somewhat in favor for even
ing dresses is the "three-decker," or
triple flounce skirt.
Walking suits of corduroy made after
the manner of summer shirt waist
suits will find special favor.
Gauging still continues to be the most
popular way of manipulating materi-
ais, especially those of light weight.
Some of the pale pastel tones will be
popular the coming season, the very
palest greens, pinks, mauves and blues.
Fashion is very partial to the note of
black in neckwear and touch of it is
introduced into many of the prettiest
pieces.
The greatest novelty of the hour is
the chinchilla chiffon gown. Nothing
can surpass the beauty of this material
in its soft admiXtures of gray and
white, having quite the length and
color of the fur itself.

STAMPS AND COLLECTORS.

Germany has comparatively the
most stamp collectors and conse-
quently also the most counterfeit
manufacturers.
Germany is said to have a great
many more philatelists than the
United States. Nearly every family
seems to have a stamp collection, con-
sequently no stamps have gone to
waste in years. Dealers are so thick
that in Stuttgart there are a dozen
windows given up to the display of
stamps.
Agreat collection of stamps, valued
approximately at $4,000, and which
was stolen from Consul Weber, of
Hamburg, Germany, has been recov-
cred through the work of the police
department of Berlin. The collec-
ton, it seems, was innocently bought
by a London dealer for $1.91O, and
when he was confronted with evil
dence proving it to be stolen prop
erty, the purchaser offered to return
the lot upon being reimbursed with
the amount that he paid for the loot.
After some litigation the stamps
were returned to the owner upon his
payment of $1,750 to the dealer.

WAY STATIONS.

The fastest European railway trains
are no longer in England, but in
France.
The Prussian government has or
dered that the 72-pound rails on all
the main state railway lines be re-
placed by 92-pound rails.
The United States has 100000 miles
of railways, upon which there are
54S employees for each 100 miles. The
cost of operating these roads with
steam power is $500, 100000 a year;
but to carry on the same amount of
work with men and horses would cost
the country $11, 9OS, 500, 900.
Railroad riding is altogether too
luxurious nowadays, says Galusha A.
Grow, the venerable Pennsylvania
who will retire from public life with
this congress. The comforts of mod
ern travel are all very well, he ad-
mits, but they have robbed him Of
his medicine. In the old days OF
crooked lines and jolly cars if he felt
that his liver was becoming torpid
he jumped the train and rode to New
York. The shaking up he received
in few hours run was sufficient
remedy. He still tries the same
cure, but maintains that the bene-
fetal results have diminished in ratio
corresponding with improvements
which have been introduced.

CRUDE WAYS OF ESQrIIMAUx.
and Know Nothing of Morality
in DOnesti Life.

Mr. David P. Hanbury, an arctic eX-
plorer, arrived in Montreal the other
day on his way to London. Mr.. Han
bury, who is a fellow of the Royal Ge-
ographical society, is returning from
an overland trip of exploration
through uninhabited districts of the
arctic regions. Principally his trip
was for the purpose of gathering in
formation for his book of travel. In
cidentally he searched for information
which might lead to the whereabouts
of the lost Norwegian explorer, An
dree, who started in balloon to find
the pole. Mr.. Hamburg says he sought
for clews wherever he went, but did
not obtain the slightest trace. His
overland trip was made in company
of EsquimauX guides, says the Wash
ington Star.
Mr.. Hanbury has included the an
thropography and ethnography of
the EsquimauX in his studies and he
has collected a great deal of in
formation by his observation of their
circumstances and character, but ad-
mits that little is available to deter
mine their origin.
The point as to whether this peo-
pie is of Mongolian origin is one for
the anthropologists with more data
than l possess. They do not have even
rudimentary education, and conse-
quently written records are out of the
question. AS to religion, the Esqui-
mauX, though very superstitious, have
none. They do not believe in a Su-
preme Being" the explorer said.
"These people are obliging and will
do any moral thing for a white man.
They are very peaceably inclined, and
temper is almost unknown. As to
their domestic life, you might say that
of morals they have none. Still, the
universal Interchange of wives occa-
sions no broils, and bigamous wives in
the same family are like sisters. The
virtue of the EsquimauX consists in a
fondness for their children.
1.-The settlements continue year
after year at one location. About the
middle of October the snow huts are
built and the walls fall early in May.
The rest of the year the colony lives
in tents made of skins.
1.-The northern Esquimaux have alb
solutely none of the conveniences of
civilization. The weapons they use
in the hunt are of the crudest Sort

WHERE THE MIKADO RULES.

proceeding from Hongo, Japan, to
bury the remains of Tarofi, the head

Japanese ladies smoke and on the
railways smoking is permitted in ev-
cry carriage, for men and women
alike smoke almost continually.
When a Japanese lady enters a car
riage she slips off her little wood or
rice-soled shoes, stands upon the seat
and then sits down with her feet
under her. A moment or two later
she produces her tiny pipe-it holds
about enough tobacco to produce a
couple of whiffs of smoke-and lights
up. All Japanese sit with their feet
on the seat of the carriage and not
as Europeans do.
