SOME CHARA CTERISTTCS.
Anecdote ana Incident in the Life of
the Departed Guide, Philosopher
and Friend.

The death of Joel Foster brings out
incident and anecdote illustrating
some of his pronounced characteristics.
AS stated in the sketch of his life, he
was for fifteen years, in the prime of
stalwart manhood. the head Of the
Montpelier fire department, and al
ways and for years after his retire
ment-he never failed to run with
the machine, " or, to speak with pre-
cision, far ahead of the machine. He
slept with his fire toys within easy
reach and fire bucket in each hand.
On the first cry of fire or stroke of the
alarming bell he was up and clad for
the fight. The point of greatest dan
ger, the place of most reckless expos
ure, was sought and held by Mr.. Fos-
ter till the battle was ended. He
was perfect daredevil in fighting
fire., " was the apt Characterization of
his fearlessness and intrepidity In fire.
men circles it has long been told of
him, in illustration of his bravery and
resolution, how that in the later fif-
ties when the Langdon Touring mills
on the Berlin size, now a part of the
buildings of the Cotton Manufactur-
ing Company-were on fire, with An

DEVIL" he rushed to the attic of the
second building from the bridge, the
seat of the fire, and braved the flames
till he was dragged away more dead
than alive. He and his comrade were
the "spill way" of the bucket brig
ade. =" The fire was checked the prop
erty saved, but the daring firemen
suffered for long time from the ex-
posture and the smoke they inhaled.

JAPANESE PRINCE DEAD.

Yokohama, Feb. 30. Prince Komat-
su, who was the envoy of Japan at
the coronation of King Edward, is
dead of an affection of the brain.
Field Marshal Komatsu Akihits, a
cousin of the present Mikado's father,
was one of Japan's most noted states
men and soldiers. He visited New
York twice. He came first in the
latter part of 1886 on a sightseeing
tour, and the following year he repre-
sented Japan at Queen Victoria's gol-
den jubilee. He came here last year
on his way to represent Japan at King
Edwards coronation.
The Prince was COMMANDMENT ohiei
of the japanese forces at the close OF
the war with China, and recently wai
active in bringing about the allince Of
Japan and Great Britain. He wat
much loved in his country, not only fol
his patriotic usefulness but for hi
practical benevolence.

ON EDUCATION.

Some delicious bits of educational
philosophy whose quaint originality
is matched by their common sense are
given in the 'Letters from Self Made
Merchant to His Son, " by George
Horace Lorimer, and a few of them
are herewith quoted:
GU III find that education's about
the only thing fellow can have as
much Of as he's willing to haul away.
Everything else is screwed down tight
and the screw driver lost "A
Ppm anxious that you should be
good scholar, but I'm more anxious
that you should be a clean man. And
if you graduate with a sound cons
cience, | shan't care sc much if there
are a few holes in your Latin.
There are two parts Of college edu-
cation-the part that you get in the
school room from the professors and
the part that you get outside of it
from the boys. That's the really inn
portant part. For the first can only
make you a scholar, while the second
can make you a man.
Education is a good deal like eat
ing-a fellow can't always tell which
particular thing did him good, but he
can usually tell which one did him
harm. \ It's down among the
sweets, among the amusements and
recreations, that he's going to find
his stomach ache, and it's there that
he wants to go slow and to pick and
choose.
"Does college education pay2
You bet it pays Anything

think quick pays; anything that
teaches boy to get the answer before
the other fellow gets through biting
his pencil, pays.
college doesn't make fools; it de-
velops them 1t doesn't make bright
men; it develops them. A fool will
turn out a fool whether he goes to col
leee or not, though he'll probably turn
, out a different kind of fool,

Apropos to the 25th anniversary of
the election of Pope Leo XIII to the
papal chair the editor of the st. Johns
bury Caledonian relates the following
story illustrating the great church
mans keen sense of humor: "While
travelling from Nice to Marseilles, a
few years ago, it was the writer
good fortune to have as a travelling
companion the Bishop OF Trinidad.
The Bishop was returning from pill
grimage to Rome, and had met the
Pope several times. On his last visit
younger priest was present. and the
latter was so impressed with the Pope s
age that he said, when he babe him
farewell, "Well, your Holiness, i
presume l shall never have the pleas
ure of seeing you again" The Pope
looked at him with a merry twinkle
IN his eye, and, smiling benignantly,
said, ooh, 1 guess you will, you look
pretty young and vigorous.

merrily tumbled in, and they count
among the pleasant memories of their
lives these afternoons with their I'M
conventional host, The longest way
round was usually the shortest way
home, and the way led along old grass
grown roads, through sylvan lanes,
the philosopher pointing out objects
of interest in the landscape and by
the roadside, and in choicest Partisan
French, the wonder of his mercurial
guests, urging his plodding nag to
forego cropping the heritage and hasten
his homeward gait. The vehicle gen
orally returned from these excursions
laden with spoils of the existing floral
season. Did he 90 to the woods on a
business mission, he returned bearing
specimens of the wonders or beauties
he had found on his way--always to
delight some shut-in or other object of
his interest. His more intimate friends
and associates remember, almost with
pain, the genial current of his sonl
before it was chilled by trouble or
it's merriment frozen in the evil days
of his malady.

And Other Itching, Burning and
SCaly ETupiOns.
Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by
CutiCura Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head the facial Disagreement, as in
pimplcs and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants and the anxiety of
WORKOUT parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss of hair,
WHOM all else fails.

~. Vermont farmers are to be congratu-
lated on being free from the grip of a
foot and mouth disease quarantine
while the .neighboring State of Mas
sachusetts is still sorely afflicted with
the disease. Perhaps the difference
can be accounted for from the fact
that the cattle owners in the infected
districts of Vermont worked harmoni-
ously with the cattle commission in
stamping out the disease, while in
Massachusetts there was tendency on
the part of some farmers to rebel
against the action of the authorities.

The locality in summer time is one
of many charms and picturesque at
fractions. The outlet of the reservoir
is down n rocky and precipitous chasm,
beneath the branches of over-arching
trees. Access to the foot of the gorge
has been made easy, and the kindly
superintendent would add to tie scenic
features of the place, for the entertain
ment of visitors, by lifting the gate
and allowing a volume of water to
pass down that would convert the
sweet lull of falling waters into the
roar and foam of an Alpine cataract,
To the spectator at the foot of the
falls the scene was one always to be re-
membered, and will be recalled ever
with the pleasantest memories of the
obliging and appreciative superintend'
ent.

In the little grove by the outlet of
the reservoir, preserved and reared by
Mr.. Foster, ought to be raised fitting
memorial to this devoted official. His
public duty was his first considera-
ton, his personal interest or conyen-
fence remote second-so remote he
too little needed its admonitions.

When there was disputed line that
means, in mis- capacity of surveyor and
woodsman Mr. Foster was the man
often called upon to determine the ex-
act whereabouts of the rightful land
marks. Disputes of this nature often
arose in timbered regions The deeds
described and referred to the marks by
which CORNERS" were established,
often "blazed" tree, it's identity still
further indicated by rocks or stones
or other nearby objects. In the lapse
of years the "blazes" became buried
under concentric rings of growth, 70
the Impractical eye or unskilled judg
ment there was no evidence of a 'cor-
ner' or sign of a line" where the rec
ords declared there should be the metes
and bounds. The Identification of a
single landmark would settle the ques-
ton of boundaries and rightful own
ership. The eye of woodcraft reads
the signs writ on the bark of trees.
By these signs this professor of wood
craft had settled disputes and deter
mined the issues of cases at law. Was
there any doubt that this monarch Of
the forest was the tree described IN
the record, creased and yellow after a
generation of repose in the keepers
| files? The axe was summoned to re-
solve the doubt. AS the chopper neared
! the inner precincts of the tree the
chips began to have telltale blem-
isles, and presently the ancient
"blaze" was fully disclosed, the judg-
ment of the woodsman was vindicated,
and the compass, following the bear
ings of the deed, restored the lost line
and the eye of woodcraft found the
landmarks by which it was originally
indicated This had often been the eX-
perience of Mr.. Foster here in Wash
ington county and elsewhere III the
State. A very notable instance oc-
Cured not many years ago, in which
Mr.. Foster, whose forest and profess
sional lore was widely famous, on the
request of both parties to dispute,
went to try to find the true boundary
line between certain lumber properties
in the towns of Lowell and Eden, the
disputed line being also part OF the
line between the two towns. The
wizards mission was entirely sue
cessful, and the blessing pronounced Oh
the peace makers had new illustra
ton and enforcement The demon
stration by Mr.. Foster, with axe and
compass, was accepted and the disput
ants went peacefully and contentedly
about their business.

The Hon. Henry G. Ide erstwhile
of ST. Johnsbury but now a member
Of the Philippine commission has as
sumed the role of philanthropist,
He has offered personally to subscribe
$40, 600 for the endowment of free beds
in a proposed hospital at Manila. The
hospital project was launched by
Bishop Brent of the Episcopal church,
who has secured 5000 names to petit
ton to the Philippine commission re-
questing that general hospital be es-
tablished in the chief city of the
islands. 1t is believed that rich Fill,

and give freely to the enterprise.
