Haircioth Revival.

IIaircloth is coming into favor
again for upholstery purposes, but
not in the ianereal tone in which it
fiourished for so many decades be-
fore the progress in decorative art
consigned it to oblivion so far as
furniture covering is concerned.
Dark green, terra Gotta and other
restful shades in figured effects are
now being used as covering for IL
brary or dining room furniture in
colonial or Chippendale designs.
Haircloth possesses the advantage
of being clean and durable, and in
its new guise it is no less artistic
than serviceable.

Woodstock, w., Aug. %, 1908.
THE LAND AND INDUSTRIES OF
VERMONT.

1t would be OF some interest to
% those proposing to invest in Vermont
real estate to know that land values
here are rising and are in fact over
one-third greater now than they
were twenty years ago.
According to the last ceusus (I9oo)
the assessed value of real estate was :
In 1880, $7o,43o,ea3.
In 1890, $1la,S95,Ia5.
In 1900, $IIS,95o,o24.
The increase has been slower, ap-
parently, in the last decade, but this
very likely due in large part to the
impertections of the census of 1880.
A part of this increase in real es-
tate values is due to the increase of
manufactures, but not all. And it
is fairly safe to say that land on the
whole is increasing in value.
This can be inferred perhaps also
from a study of Vermont's chief in
dustries. These are classified in the
census as follows:
Cheese, butter, condensed milk =,
etc.
Flour, etc.
3 Foundry products.
q Hosiery and knit goods.
5 Lumber.
6 contemporaries.
7 Marble, granite, etc.
s Monuments and tombstones.
9 Paper.
10 Wool-manufactur
Now of these ten manufactures
only two, viz, dairy products and
monuments and tombstones, have
increased very much in the last de-
cade:
1890. 1900.
Dairy products ......$1 ,6O2, GAL So, Csc. 265
Monuments and tomb
stones. .............. 1872 $3.50 4Os5;6l
The dairy industry thus not only
leads in actual value, but it has in
creased four millions in the last ten
years, which means an increase in
value of cows and Of the land on
which the cows must be fed.
Residents of Windsor county will
perhaps be surprised to learn how
high it ranks as an industrial county.
The total value of Vermont's manu-.
featured products in 1900 was ST.
623,SI5, and of those of Windsor
county, $5,739.54o. In other words
Windsor county produced one-tenth
of all the manufactured produts of
Vermont's IS counties. 1t is good
county to settle inland subscribe

10Y DEaTROYING BEANS.

Mrs. Arabella Elliott OF kokomo.
Ind, has testified in court that for
two years of her married life her hus-
band, Henry H. Elliott, insisted that
they should live on beans. They had
beans for breakfast, beans for
dinner and beans for supper.
It was beans, beans, beans, until she
heard the rafting OF beans in the
Tapping of the vines against the cor
ner of the dear little cottage; she had
beans in her dreams, and in her wax
ing fancies all the world became a
pod and all the men and women in
it were merely beans. Finally she
got Mr.. Elliott to change off to pota-
toes, but he pined for beans, and, fear
ing that he would insist on returning
to them, she sued for divorce.
