A prohibitionist had dream the
other night. He thought that well
known Burlington newspaper man
died and went to the hereafter. There
he met a friend and after looking
around bit he said :-''Well, / don't
see as heaven is any better than Yer
mont since we got our license law
well TO working '.But this isn't
heaven explained the friend
Mortified News
There is an element Of probability
about this, aside from the exquisite
touch Of hnmor. No prohibitionist
could even dream Of a license be
lever as an inhabitant OF heaven.
Ifthe truth be stated. Vermont has
lived too much on the glory OF tue
Green Mountain Boys, it has become
so impregnated with the sense Of
selt-suiliciency that stagnation has
resulted. For that reason Vermont
has not taken that position which
she should rightly hold. But il the
indications are any proof of the future
the old state is getting into the track
which will lead her into the place
that is rightly hers. The recent years
have shown signs of an awakening
that means much. We have ratified
among the bones of antiquity long
enough. Let's try some live matter
Tor change Barre Times.
Yes, il is evident, from many signs,
that Vermont is casting loose from
the kind of ancestry worship that re-
tards progress in Vermont, as it does
in China.

How to Make Calcimine.

One pound of uncolored gelatin glue, as free from grease as possible, is soaked over night in cold water suffi- cient to cover the glue, says the Paint ers' Magazine. Thirty pounds of Eng fish cliff stone paris white, bolted or best bolted gilders' whiting, is also soaked in sufficient water to make a paste over night, and next morning both are heated with steam or over a moderate fire in a water bath to the boiling point, and when the glue is fully dissolved the two materials are thoroughly mixed. In summer time, on cooling, a small portion of carbolic acid, say about one-eighth of an ounce diluted with water, is added for each pound of glue used in the aforesaid formula to keep it from souring. and in this way the calcimine will keep for some weeks. It is said that the work men rather like this preparation be- cause of its good working properties.

At seventeen she said: '"I want a man who is ardent in all iove's ways and whose passionate devotion may never flag. He must be tall and broad shouldered and handsome, with dark, flashing, soulful eyes, and, if need be, go to the ends of the world for my sake"
 At twenty she said: q want man who unites the tender sympathies of a woman with the bravery of lion. don't mind his being little dissipated, because that always adds charm. He must be, however, accomplished to the last degree and capable of any sacri- flee for my sake"
 At twenty-five she said: "I want a man who unites with an engaging per sonality complete knowledge of the world, and if, of necessity, he happens to have a past, he must also have a future-a man to whom T can look up and with whom I can trust myself at all times without the slightest embar- rassment."
 At thirty she said: "I want a man with money. He can have any other attributes man ought to possess, but he must have money, and the more he has the better will like it."
 At thirty-five she said, "I want a man."-Life.

 Clarence's entrance to the kindergar- ten was delayed'by severe cold in the head. When he was finally able to take fling at knowledge in her rudi- mentary forms, his mind was still i'm bittered with memories of past suffer ings. When the teacher showed him the picture of man and put a few simple questions to him concerning the five senses, he could not put the pain fui thoughts entirely aside. Still his answers did credit to his native in- telligence. He said that the mouth was to eat with, the eyes to see with and the ears to hear with, but when he came to the nose he fell down.
 "And what is that forW asked the teacher.
 ''To blow" replied Clarence, and he couldn't for the life of him see why everybody laughed.-New York, Times

Now to Make Waterproof Glue @n4
 Other Clements.
 For mending broken crockery there ls nothing better than white lead. It is one of the few eements that resist both water and heat. Smear in thinly on the edges of the article, press them together and set 1t aside to dry.
 A waterproof glue for repairing mar bic or porcelain may be made by mix Ing plain white glue and milk, says the Boston Post. Into two quarts of sA.m milk put half pound of the best white glue. Put the basin con- taining this into another basin of hot water. Cook until the milk has evapo- rated to such an extent that the mix ture is like ordinary glue or even thick CT. When dry, this cement is one of the hardest, with the clearness of ivory.
 Unslaked lime mixed with the white of an egg is simple and good ce- ment. It dries very quickly, even hay ing tendency to dry before the bro- ken edges of the article can be brought together. If quickly mixed and ap- piled, the mended dish will be strong and ready for use within few hours.
 Many other cements need to be left to their work for days and weeks be- fore the dish can be used. A very good cheap cement that may be used in many ways in patching crockery ware and mending leaks may be made with plaster of paris. Mix this with the white of an egg to a cream and smear it on the article. As in all cements, this must be left to dry thoroughly be- fore using. A heat and moisture proof cement is handy thing to have.
 Here is one that is warranted to fill cracks in kettles, close seams in pans and mend all sorts of things, remain ing perfectly indifferent to subsequent trials by heat or water: Get some pow dered itharge and mix 1t with glycerin till thick and soft as putty. After these two clements have thoroughly blended, the cement is ready to be ap- piled.

OLIVE OIL IN ARIZONA.
omething About the Rise of a Great Industry i'm the southwestern
 Country.

Olive oil is now being shipped by the ton from the Salt River valley of Arizona and the business is on the boom, says a Phoenix report to the Washington Star. The entire valley is becoming dotted with olive orchards, and at this season of the year the trees are covered with thousands of tiny star-like buds, which will soon be followed by the fruit formation, which when matured on the tree will amount to hundreds ot pounds of fruit. Olives remain on she trees until they are thoroughly ripe before they are picked to have the oil squeezed and pressed from them.
 When the olives are ripe it requires a large number of hands to pick them, for the work must be done quickly. This is usually done by spreading large canvas sheets around the trees upon which the pickers throw the olives as they are plucked off the branches. Once they are picked the fruit is carried to the crushing machine, which breaks the fruit up much as apples are crushed for cider. The pulp is then put into machine which presses the juice from it, which runs off into tank, where by force of gravity the oil proper rises to the top and is skinned off and put away for sev- eral months to settle before it is bottled ready for market. It re- quires about 75 pounds of fruit to produce a gallon of oil.-Washington Star,

TYPICAL RUSSIAN PRISON.
The Monastery of SOusdal Which Is Used for O6enses Concern ... ing Religion.

An interesting description has been published in a Vienna newspaper of a monastery at Sousdal, in the Russian province of Vladimir, which is used as prison for priests and laymen who are guilty of religious offenses. Pris- oners are sent to Sousdal only by spe- cial decree of the czar, who, however, accepts the advice of M. Pobiedonos- zeff, the procurator of the holy synod of the orthodox Greek church.
 According to recent report there are about 120 prisoners there, and they include two princes, one count, two barons, one general, four bishops, 16 common soldiers, 52 officers, 124 priests and one shoemaker. They are treated with severity, says the London Ex- press, and undergo solitary confne- ment in gloomy cells. Many prisoners become insane after brief period, while the weaker ones soon die from want of light, air and proper nourish- ment. The prisoner most recently sen- fenced is priest named Cvietkoff, and the offenses for which he was sent there are typical. Cvietkoff disputed the holy synod's right to rule abso- lutely over the church as a whole nd advocated the formation of a council of clergy to advise and to certain ex- tent control the synod This sufficed to bring about his sentence to life im- Drjsonmtnt at Sousdal
