Bradstreet's Vermont Weekly Trae
Report.

Report.
From careful inquiry, Bradstreets re-
port the roads in such condition that it
is somewhat difficult for farmers to reach
town and prospects are poor for any
material improvement in this respect un-
til the frost is out of the ground. In con-
sequence merchants find demand for
goods checked and are not disposed to
largely anticipate needs except in staple
goods. The mineral industries of the
state which include marble, granite and
slate productions are not working to the
full capacity of the plants because of
severe weather in part, lack of orders
also contribute to less activity. The
maple sugar season is likely to open at
any time, logs from timber land and lum-
Der from the mills will soon be turned
into money and demand for seasonable
manufactured goods will be stimulated
with the advent of warm weather.
Workmen are reasonably well employed
and with the strike ended at Hard wick,
there appears to be no labor trouble in
the state.
Burlington reports a fair trade at the
retail stores, mills and factories running
full time, wholesale business of average
volume. Rutland manufacturers are
busy, retail trade is quiet owing to
severe weather and poor roads, general
conditions pronounced fair. The granite
business in Barre is stillquiet but quarry
men and dealers are expecting plenty of
orders as soon as the weather moderates;
collections rather slow. In Montpelier
the granite sheds are moderately busy;
other industries doing well; retail trade
somewhat quiet because of weather con-
ditions. Retail trade not very busy at
st. Adams as there is not much DISPOSE
ton of farmers to come in from the coun-
try; manufacturers are well employed.
Business conditions at Brattleboro are
normal, the season of the year is not
propitious tor extensive operations. The
paper mills are busy at Bellows Falls,
also other industries; retail trade fair
considering the general business situa-
ton. St. Johnsbury trade is quiet among
the stores as there has not been so much
employment for the laboring people as
at some times in the past. but with the
opening of spring prospects improve.
The labor difficulty which caused some
500 men to quit work in the granite
sheds at Hardwick is reported ended.
The outlook for business in all lines is
particularly bright at this point in view
Of the rapidly increasing granite trade.

A curious barometer is said to be
used by the remnant Of the Araucanian
race which inhabits the southernmost
province of Chile. 1t consists of the
cast off shell Of crab. The dead shell
is white in fair, dry weather, but the
approach of moist atmosphere is indi-
Gated by the appearance of small red
spots. AS the moisture in the air In
creases the shell becomes entirely red
and remains SO throughout the rainy
season.

Terrible Warnings.
What Does That Palpitation and Short
ness of Breath Mean to Yous
Persons with weak heart get out of
breath easily and have palpitation on
the least exertion. AS it gets worse they
have dizziness, swimming of the eye
sight, headache, faint, sinking feelings
attended by strange sensations. There
is generally more or less nervousness and
s!eeplessness.
It is fearfully common, and neglect is
fatal. You can get well by taking the
right medicine now. Mrs. Fannie l..

while we will support the Governor
as long as he does what is right, the
Home Rulers don't intend to make any

that the white men can't run this gov

can't say this is our fault. The whole
trouble is that the people want to make
big show when they haven't the mon

man took control that these things
have happened. But you never hear
the natives kicking, they let the white
man go on and do as he pleases. We
are satisfied and won't make any trou-
BILE, no matter what is done. 1t is the
white men who differ among themselves
while the Hawaiian sits quietly by and
doesn't mix in. You are spending too
much money and don't get in enough
taxes. We Hawaiians don't worry
about it. We are all satisfied to get
along as we have been doing. In the
old days there was plenty of money,

taxes raised. But that is the only way
