Letter to W. A. ROyce.
Barre. VT.

Dear Sir: II our agent charges you 10
cents more for gallon Of paint than
somebody else, don't think he is making
more profit we charge him more; It
costs Us more. II Is all paint. true paint,
and full-measure.
No other paint is all paint, true paint,
and full-measure, SO far as we know.
That is wrong. We know some that are
pure and full measure, but weak, thin,
too much oil and too little lead-and zinc /:
an honest sort of weakness; don't know
any better, may be.
1t amounts to this: so far as we know,
and we think we know the whole Ameri-
can trade, there is no other name but
Devoe that stands for all paint, full
measure and right proportion. That's
why il takes less gallons and wears
longer.
Yours truly,
+. w. Devoe & Co.
P. s.. Reynolds & Son sell our paint.

GLASS TEA PoTs NOW.

The glass teapot is a novelty that
finds considerable favor among expert
tea makers. These pots come from
England. They are of stout tempered
glass and are delicately trimmed witt
bands of silver, says the Kansas City
Journal.
Inside the pot itself hollow ball
of silver rolls about, anu by its prompt
acceptance of the heat of the boiling
water prevents the glass from crack
ing.
The charm Of the crystal pot lies
not wholly in it's novelty or beauty
but in the fact that through its trans
parent sides the tea maker can see
just what amount Of brew she has
on hand and the strength thereof

Miss Johnson's idea of a breakfast
seems to be something between the
coffee and roll of Europe and the
heavy meat and mince pie breakfast OF
old-time America The climate, habit
and taste of America call for some
thing more than the former, and. as
substitute for the latter she would
have something nourishing, but light.
She would eliminate the most COM
mon of all breakfast dishes, potatoes.
She would call halt on the mad rage
for cereals. She would recommend
fruit. hot bread and coffee, and for the

TO IRON SILK.

Smooth the silk out we'll on the
ironing table, place an old handker-
chief or a piece of thin muslin over it
and iron with a moderately hot iron.
When partly dry remove the covering,
iron the silk with a bare iron, and in
the case of a scarf or handkerchief
first on one side and then On the other
to produce a gloss. If the silk should
feel in the least stiff or hard, shake
it out, rub it between the hands and
iron again. When finished it should
be smooth and as soft as when new,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Some silks, such as ribbons and
corded silks, are better kept covered
all the time, as the iron gives them
a glaze which is not suitable; discre-
ton must be used in this matter.
When ironing bright colored silks put
a piece of muslin or old linen over
the ironing sheet to prevent it's being
stained..-Mirror and Farmer.

A Valuable Emigrant.

According to a recent British Con.
sular report the most valuable export
of Swallow, one Of the Chinese ports
under the treaty of Tientsin is the
Swatow emigrant. The adverse fnan-
cial balance CT the port is more than
adjusted by the remittances of the
natives who have gone to British and
Dutch East Indian colonies and Siam.
It is estimated that no less than
3O,000,000 is annually RENTED by
them. In addition to these remit.

100000 in cash and notes is brought

CARE OF THE DINING-RooM.

CARE OF THE DINlNG-ROOM.
"Do you air your dining-room before
breakfast" asked Miss Johnson IF
not, you certainly cannot enjoy your
breakfast, eaten in the vitiated air Of
the night before. You cannot digest
your food without oxygen, and oxy-
gen is just as necessary as food to
life and health.
"Do you dust your dining-room be-
fore breakfasts"
A ripple Of laughter ran around the
room.
81 know" said the speaker, serious
ly, that, in the present unsatisfactory
condition of domestic service, it is i'm
possible to get everything done that
ought to be done. But we can at least
know what ought to be done.
Germs are in dust everywhere. But
it is in the dining-room that they get
into our food, and thence into our
bodies. The dining-roOm of all rooms
should be kept free from dust; should
have nothing in it to catch and con-
ceaI dust. 1t should be plain room,

WINDOW BOXES FOR FLOWERS.

Window boxes filled with growing
flowers add greatly to the attractive
appearance of a country house a1d
can very easily be made. Buy planed
half-inch boards of the right length,
with pieces for the ends about eight
inches wide. Nail the front boards
over the edges of the side pieces, IN
less the boxes are mitred at the cor
ners, which would make them more
expensive by requiring the services
of carpenter, says the New York
Tribune. When the boards are neatly
nailed together tack narrow mould
ing along the edges and over the cor
ner to give them a finished appear
ance. Then paint the boxes the color
of the trim of the windows. Secure
them with iron brackets and fill them
first with one inch Of broken ash coal
and then we'll prepared earth. Bore
three small anger holes in each box
for drainage. 1t is fascinating to see
a brilliant array Of flowers above the
sill in a bedroom window and refresh
ing to smell the sweet odor of mignon-
cite, etc.

NON-PARTISAN POLITICS.

The st. Adams Messenger uses re-
cent note of the Journals as the text
of lengthy argument for nom partisan
municipal politics. In the course of
the article it pays Montpelier voters
and Montpelier high compliment for
the way they have dropped party poll
tics in city affairs and made citizens
politics and good government go hand
in hand. Speaking of the nom partisan
idea the Messenger says:
As theory the idea is beyond dis
pute. The next thing is to reduce it
to practice. Montpelier does do it.
Montpelier enjoys what is generally
admitted to be the best government
of any city in the State, and it is adj
ministered, too, by her representative
men. Some of her most progressive
citizens of both political parties have
accepted the office OF mayor and the
government throughout has been dis
tinguished by personnel whose
character was eminently superior to
the average. And Montpelier has
accomplished all this by following the
plan that The Messenger has so long
urged upon the voters OF st. Adams
Of disregarding the Democratic or Re-
publican parties in the local election
altogether, dropping them off the bal
lot, and nominating ticket in Citi-
zens' caucus that stood for good gov
eminent and letting anybody put up
ticket against it that wanted to
Nobody in Montpelier appears to
worry about the childish plea that the
local Republican party has lost its
standing in local elections, as was done
here last week when great political
capital was sought to be made by
few men on a pretence that the Re-
publican party had been wrecked by
'would-be politicians. Few men in
Montpelier want the Republican
party as such to have any standing in
municipal elections. The very idea
is to avoid any semblance of consult
ing political differences in making up
a ticket. And it succeeds. In Mont

4TK ms FOUND GUILTY.

The ju in the case of State vs.
George Atkins, for breach of the peace,
returned a verdict of guilty" at
about half past ten o'clock this fore
noon. They took the case about three
Friday afternoon and reported at nine
in the evening that they were unable
to agree.
The case of Evana Marie Massucco
VS.. Dominica Tomasi was called up
and put on trial, though the de-
PENDANT was absent. This is a suit
for damages for breach of promise of
marriage, both parties being Italians.
The plaintiff is sister of Sersfino Mas
succo, fruit dealer. of Montpelier,
while the defendant is fruit dealer,
who owns, or has owned, several stores
in the State. He has been in Italy
this winter.
The plaintiff claims that few years
ago when she was living in Italy, at
her fathers home, the defendant,
whom she had known for long time,
returned to Italy from this country,
told of his success in business, and
began to pay attentions to her. He
was a widower then and was consid-
erbly older than she, her age being 2S.
The plaintiff claims that matters went
on until the pair became engaged and
then religious marriage ceremony
was performed by an Italian priest.
The civil ceremony necessary to make
the marriage legal in Italy was not
in hurry to return to this country
and said it could just as well be per-
formed here. The couple came over
and lived together as man and wife,
but the plaintiff says the defendant
continued to put off the civil mar
rage.
Finally trouble arose in the Mas
succu Tomasi families, which had in
termarried considerably, Tomasi re
turned to Italy, and there married an
other woman. He has since been in
this country with his wife.
The defendant denies the breach
Of promise and says that he tried his
best to get the plaintiff to marry him
but she would not. He says he hired
her to work for HIM and that for that
work full settlement has been made.
A brother of the defendant is look
ing after his case in court and while
Attorneys J. p. Lamson and John H.
Senter are conducting it. W. A.

the plaintiff.

FIFE IN W4TERBURY.
The Dwelling House of Warner Wood
ward Burned to the Ground.

W aterbury, March 9.-Fire broke
out in the Warner Woodward house
on what is known as the Farrar Addi-
tion at north end of the village about
II 80 O'Clock last night. The family
had retired for the night when a
cracking sound was heard in the ell
part of the house. A hurried investl.
CATION was all that WAS needed as the
flames had gained considerable head
way. The alarm was given, but the
efforts of the firemen proved in vain
as the flames had already gained con-
siderable ground when help arrived.
The firemen turned thsir energies to
saving what they could of the house
hold goods, but few, however, could be
reached and the loss is nearly total
The house was one and half struc-
ture and WAS new, having been built
last summer. The insurance on the
building was $1,000.
Mr.. Woodward was arranging to trade
his house for farm and intended to
make the papers today.

EUROPE rs WORRIED.

The situation in Europe at present
is one that stimulates the imagination
to picturing what might happen if
some one OF the nations that at pres
emit are at peace should do the wrong
thing or say the wrong word and
thereby start war which would in
yolve most of the civilized world. All
sorts of rumors of hard feelings, pend
ing difficulties, rebellions, revolu-
tions, and great wars are flying about.
Realizing the critical situation that
the governments of Europe find them
selves in at the present time all the
