PLAIN TALK FOR PLAIN PEOPLE,
Crisp and Breezy Comment on Mat
tiers in the Public Eye.

(Written Tor the Reformer)
My reverend brother Davenport OF
the Barre Telegram is filled with In
spring thoughts by the conference
appointments of the Methods,
church. Says they make him think
of the disciplined troops OF a great
army going forth to battle, cheerful
unquestionlng and prepared. He
might well have added, prepared for
the worst" What OF the time and
treasure wasted In sending these men
back and forth about the state? What
of the heartburnings, dlsappoint-
ments and bitter tears that follow on
the severing of ties, established
through few years residence in
loved and lovable field? The thumbs
of Nero's courtiers. as the mobiles
lelled about the amphltheatre. were
never watched with more anguished
suspense than the lists Of the Bishops

The old and often stated problem of
how to support a champagne appetite
lon a lager beer income is given n
homely twist by the proposition of
how to support sealskin wife on a
muskrat income" as stated by
Methodist minister at conference the
other day. And it's quite PROPOSE
ton, as II stands.

A glance at the check list which is
to be used at the coming village
meeting will show that It has not
been thoroughly revised for long
time. II contains names of men who
have been dead for three years or
more and of some who have not been
residents OF the village since 1896,
while the names OF many who are le-
gal voters do not appear at all. Let
US hope that mention OF this matter
will cause the bailiffs to see that It
is rectified before May 3.

A Vegetable Wonder.

The welwitschia mirabilis is
wonder Of the vegetable kingdom II
grows on the barren land of the west
ern side of Africa, where rain is al
most unknown and the only moisture
il that from dews which fall at night
This plant was discovered in 1860 by
DR. Welwitsch, an eminent scientific
traveller The welwitschia Is tree
which lives for many years, many
specimens being estimated as more
than 100 years old.
Every year of its life increases it's
size, yet it never grows higher Rls-
ing just above the ground this strange
plant, looking like rough round Ia
BILE, regularly enlargas by adding con
centric layers to It's circumference.
The fat upper surface of the trunk is
very hard and dark, resembling in
color and texture the crust Of an over
baked loaf. The trunk attains the
size of from fourteen to eighteen
feet in circumference, but is never
more than a few inches above the
ground.
The welwitschia is remarkable in
the fact that 1t never loses its first
two leaves and never gets any more.
These leaves increase in size year af-
ter year until they attain the length
of six or eight feet or more They
are fiat and leathery and frequently
split into numerous straps.

Juice of the two lemons added. Fill

time to give to detail men. One such
man was properly treated by a travel
ing man in Minnesota a few days ago.
The doctor noticed the mans case
when he entered his office, and said,
You are a detail man? Well, have
just one minute for you, as l am
very busy. The man looked at him
a second, and then said, Doctor, you

for you, and turned around and walk

The HorseIess Dog.

DR.. Weston Chester has remark
ably fine specimen of bulldog that
has always been averse to riding in
the doctors carriage, preferring to
run alongside and occasionally nip
at the wheels. In sleighing time he
has been known to seize one of the
standards that support the sleigh
body on the runners, and hold on even
after he had lost his footing and was
being dragged. The standards show
many evidences of contact with the
dogs teeth. Recently the doctor pur-
chased an automobile, and, strange
ly enough, the dog has taken VIC
lent fancy for riding in that vehicle,
quite as pronounced as was his dis
like for the other conveyance. The
other day he made such a fuss on
Exchange corner, attracting the at
tention Of passers-by and Ioiterers on
the street that the doctor was obliged
to stop and take him on board.-Hart'
ford Courant.

Not the Same Bird.

Seeking for argument to support
an attack on woman, a correspond
ent of a contemporary found what
he thought was a suitable one in the
Book of job and produced it In tri-
umph. Next day another correspond
emit pointed out that, owing to slight
technical error, the argument was not
SO convincing as it might otherwise
have been. 1t seems that the pro-
phst's remark was not about women
at all, but about ostriches. These
mistakes will occur.

THE USE OF GLYCERINE.

A leading specialist, and authority
on matters pertaining to the skin, says
Of glycerine: Glycerine is really very
harmful to the skin; it evaporates
the water in the pores rapidly, partic-
ularly, will result in breaks Of the
skin, or chaps and roughness. This
may be a surprise to many, for it is
fond belief that for cnapped hands
and lips 1t is an excellent remedy and
preventive. Mixed with other ingre-
dents so that a chemical change oc-
ours in it, it may not be harmful, but
gylcerine, in a pure state, should ney-
err be applied to the skin or it's health
and appearance will suffer, and cracks
and chaps will only be aggravated.

the Herreros.
South African Battle Which Was
FierceIy Fought.
Heavy Losses Inflicted on the Hcrreros
and a Number of German Officer,
Were KIIcd-AIl Day BattIe-tiero-
ism on Both Sides.

Berlin, Aug. -Four columns Of
German troops attacked the Herreros
near Hamakari, German Southwest
Africa. on the night of Aug. II. The
fighting continued all day Aug. IL. The
natives were defeated with heavy loss
eS.
Five German officers. including Count
Won Arnim and 10 men were killed. Six
officers, among them Baron Won Wat
ter and 50 men were wounded. Two are
missing
Thousands of cattle were captured.
Gen. Won. Trotha. dispatching the
particulars of the battle. from Hanna
kari adds that his soldiers fought with
the greatest bravery.
The natives who numbered about 5000
fighting men. under old Chief samuel
Maherero, to whom the younger leaders
had turned after their former rcverses.
were concentrated in the Waterbury
mountains.
With their women and children and
1ocks they occupied Il plain of meadow
land roughly estimated at $500 acres
on which they had $4,000 head of cattle
and $50 900 sheep. goats and so forth.
The approa ches to the plain were diff
cult passes 50 the Germans had severe
work forcing them. The number of the
Germans is not accurately known. but
1s nine companies and four and a
half batteries Of regular troops were
engaged, the total probably was about
200G mon.
Gen. Won Trotha doubtless will fol-
low up his success and finish the re-
hcllion with the Waterbury campaign
1t seems Improbable that many Of the
natives can have escaped through the
German forces holding the mountain
passes.
In skrmish preceding the battle n
patrol commanded by Lieut.. Baron
Won Bodcnhausen was surprised and
the lieutenant and eight men were
killed.
