BIRTHDAY FOR EACH SEX.
Every Japanese Boy 10 Supposed To
Be Born on March 5.

Be Born on March 5.
With the exception OF the emperor
there are no individual birthdays in
delightfully."- interesting Japan. The
people. however, make up for this
neglect by having a sort OF general
birthday OF everybody In common,
which is celebrated with great rejoio-
ing.
There are two OF these general holi-
days, one for each sex. The male
birthday. which is known as the
celebration of the boys" occurs on
the third day of the third month and
the fifth day of the fifth month. These
days are generally put aside and
boys and girls respectively receive
presents according TO their station.
The birthday OF the emperor. or
Ten-o, as he is more properly styled,
is also a general holiday for the Jap
anese everywhere. The houses are
all decorated with flags, and in the
evening the streets are gay with the
lights of innumerable colored lanterns.
In the morning the highest authorities
go to the palace and offer their con-
CALCULATIONS In person and the lower
degrees Offer them vicariously to their

monarch on having another year to

THE WAR.

Very little fighting has taken place
in the far east the past week. Peace
talk seems TO prevail. Just how
terms are to be brought about is not
known but in various ways Russia has
made it known that she is willing to
listen to peace treaty. 1t is intimated
that Russia would be willing to retire
from Manchuria, to see Japan in pos.
session of Port Arthur and the near
bv coast, to abandon the Eastern Obi
nese railway and to grant Japan pre-
ponderance in Korea, but she objects
to paying any indemnity or to surren
dering any strictly Russian soil. 1t ia
unlikely that this would satisfy japan.
after her great outlay of men and
money. She may limit Russia's naval
expansion in the Pacific so as to Sc
cure pledge of peace. The follow
ing is late dispatch from St. Peters
burg: The Emperor is still the keen
est advocate of reasons which render
necessary the continuation of the
war. He has, however, contemplated
the possibility of having to sign a
treaty of peace, expressing himself
as follows: "If have to sign peace
treaty | cannot remain Carr The
people are eagerly discussing the true
significance of the imperial statement
and wondering whether it implies
that the Emperor would abdicate or
whether, which is much more likely.
it means that after the conclusion of
peace he would adopt new attitude
and call upon representatives of the
people to share the responsibilities of
government with him.

Hotels and summer boarders are
matters that are commanding consid-
cradle interest through the state Just
at present. The general opinion is
that we want more summer boarders
but the question is how are we to get
them. Good hotels, says a contem-
porary, and we believe this is the first
step. Judicious advertising is the
next. Possibly the words "good ho-
tells" should be changed to excellent
hotels" for we now have many good
hotels in Vermont. Barton is espe-
cially favored with excellent hotels,
houses that have not only an excel
lent local reputation but good name
throughout the state. Landlord
Lothrop at Barton Landing runs
house that is considered by travelling
men. as one of the best in the north
ern part of the state. The Crystal
lake House in this village has lately
been remodeled and newly furnished.
tits located near the lake from which
H is named, commanding beautiful
view of the surrounding mountains.
Boats and canoes are kept in connec-
ton with the house, giving its patrons
opportunity to take pleasure excur-
.sIons about this charming body of
water. Hotel Barton, also in this vii
4age, is one of the best built and fur
nished houses on this side of the state.
In 1896 this building was erected
and furnished at cost of about
$4,000. This house is supplied with
water from the famous Crystal springs |
and seems to be the ''home" of many
travelling men when in this part of
Vermont. These houses have a fair
summer trade now but we believe
that should they carry out the second
step mentioned above, of advertis-
ing their excellent houses more wide
ly, they might have houses filled to
overlooking with summer people.

A FIVE YEARS GROWTH.

The Citizens Telephone Company
recently celebrated its fifth birthday
and Manager Buzzell, the creator and
pfeserver of the system, has every
reason to feel gratified over its record.
when he came from Barton five years
ago and announced that he would
oulid an independent line and give
our people lower rates, the average
citizen smiled and looked incredulous.
but after five years, more than hall
1ne instruments in Caledonia county
are In the independent system, and
the growth has been unsolicited as far
as Mr.. Buzzell is concerned, being due
10 the people who wanted to connect
with his lines. The system estab-
lsned by Mr.. Buzzell extends from
barton to WoodsvilIe and from West
Concord to West DanviIle and is con-
stantly expanding. 1t is also news to
many of our readers that this system
has connections with the Peoples
lie ephone Company with 900 'phones,
and beyond that is the Canadian Peo-
pie's line with about 1000 Instruments.
On the south Mr.. Buzzells system
connects at Woodsville with the
Woodsviile Telephone Co., and at
Bradford with the Bradford Telephone
Co., and other Independent companies
having several thousand patrons. In
Orleans county connections are had
with the Mcguire line which has oyer
400 patrons. Mr.. Buzzell has been
very successful in developing the
farmers lines, and he is beset on all
sides to open up new territory. He is
extending these popular lines as fast
as possible.
Various attempts have been made
to get control of this independent
system, or to have Mr.. Buzzen raise
the rates, but he has made good his
promise to give the people lower
rates and proposes to stand by his
colors. His future success, of course,
depends entirely upon the support he
gets from the people.
Within the last few years indepen-
dent lines have sprung up all over
the country and today there are
2,767,000 independent phones as
against 100000 other phones. In
some states, notably Michigan, the
independent 'phone is found in al
most every town. Vermonters, espe-
cially the farmers, take kindly to in
dependent organic atoms, and as long
as they stand by them their success is
assured, and the public will benefit by
getting lower rates from whatever
company they may patronize. Moth
ing touches the average man quicker
than his pocketbook and the people
OF this section have every reason to
be grateful to Mr.. Buzzell for coming
here and bringing telephone rates
down to their present figure. And
his success is all the more remarka-
BILE for it has been in the face of cost
ly litigation and all kinds of opposi-
ton. st. Johnsbury Caledonian.

Dear Sir: Here's something eyerv painter

gallons. Last year he painted Devoe: bought
40 gallons; had % left.
He is one of thousands The KNOWLEDGE is
getting about pretty generally, that Devoe
goes further than anything else.
Have you found it out in your own expert
ence?
How much further?
Suppose joo amounts to O,00O square feet:
how much less Devoe C uld you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost any
more or less to put-on by the gallon than
anything else? how much?
If it costs no more to put-on Devoe by the
gallon, it costs less by the foot, you know
for the gallon does more fe.t How much
less, do you find it, for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon it
yours also, some do The time, when that
comes in, is when he gives-out the next lob.

Big Counterfeit Scheme Unearthed.
A counterfeiting scheme gigantic j.,
its proportions and rich in results
which has as its field the whole of the
United States, has just been unearthed
by the federal authorities. A number
of government secret service agents
are now in Denver, Col, following
clews which are said to have led them
to believe that the headquarters of
the gang are located in that citv
The operations of the counterfeiters
are said to extend all the wav from
New York to San Francisco, and so
far it is believed something like $50
600 has been secured in the larger
cities of the country. The counter
felt is one of the best duplicates of
the Buffalo series of $40 and $50 bills
which has ever come to the attention
of federal authorities. A descrip tion
of the counterfeits as furnished by the
United States secret service follows:
Series 1901. No. 29513972, face plate
159, back plate 81 check letter D
signed Lyons register. Roberts treas
urer, portraits of Lewis and CLARK.
The counterfeits are shade darker
than the genuine.
