Is laid on me, and only obstinate in
choosing my own PATH" he wrote to a
friend. But his method was by no
means simple. He was poet, his
torian, a critic and a miscellaneous
writer He turned out an enormous
quantity of matter and succeeded in
doing so by working fourteen hours a
day and diversifying his labors within
his daily round. He had six tables in
his library. He wrote poetry at one,
history at another criticism at a third,
and so on with the other subjects upon
which he was engaged, and when he
was tired of spinning his brains into
verse he turned to history and criti-
cism. There is story that he once
described to Nine. dc Stael the divi-
sion of his time-twe, hours before
breakfast for history, two hours for
reading after, two hours for the COM
position of poetry, two hours for criti-
cism, and so on through all his work
ing day. "And pray, Mr.. Southey,"
queried the Frenchwoman somewhat
unkindly, when do you think ?"-Corn-

manship required on it is illustrated by
looking at it under a powerful micro
scope, when it is seen that the threads
average 260 to the inch. 1t is exactly
four-thousandths OF an inch in diam
eter, and over $4,000 could be packed

made in large numbers by machinery,
and the operation attending their man.

A Real Village Meeting.

The Rutland Herald copied the recent
editorial of the CALIFORNIAN on the pro-
ceedings Of our village caucus, heading
the article "A Real Caucus at st. Johns
bury" If the editor of the Herald could
have been here last Wednesday he would
have had the rare privilege OF attending
real village meeting. In place of the
50voters usually present, there were seven
times as many; the caucus nominees re-
ceived practically all the votes cast there
was full and free discussion OF the differ
ent articles, and an honest difference of
opinion.
The village trustees will now be paid
fair compensation for actual service and
our business men will no longer be asked
to serve as trustees for year for the
meager salary of $50 to $50. That so
many did this in the past is greatly to
their credit, but less creditable to the
village. We believe that the laborer is
worthy of his hire and the municipality
will lose nothing by paying reasonable
sums for services rendered. The voters
expressed an emphatic protest against
the habit OF exceeding the appropriations.
The new board will have no easy task to
keep within the limit recommended bv
their predecessors as the demands of our
taxpayers are insistent and the growth
OF the village is steady.
Taken all together it was a real village
meeting and the voters may we'll take
courage over this healthy sign of NUM-
cipal progress

More Opinions About that Graft
Report.

We do not believe that the state has
had men on its various boards, AS well
as at the head of these institutions that
were other than honest and had the best
interests Of the state at heart i Morris
vile News and Citizen.
Attorney-Geueral Fits and the investi.
eating committee may be expected to
turn the search lightinto every nook and
corner OF our state institutions and to
let no guilty man escape (f there is one) J.
The trustees explain the payment OF a
salary to Mrs. Cakes at Windsor by
showing that the action was t. ken to
prevent the Cakes family from going to
another institution. AT least one grave
error appears in the legislative COM
mittee's report in the statement regard
ing the meetings OF the trustees. When
the chapter is entirely closed it NAV an
pear that the committee played to the
galleries. Brattleboro Phoenix.
The CALEDoNIAN lacks space to print
all the sayings of the press, to indicate
that the tide is turning, and that press
and people are getting their eyes open to
the gross injustice of that sub com.
mittee's report. Seriously, brethren,
that committee did one grand act for
which they should receive unstinted
praise. They paved the way for an in
vestigation that will investigate. !

An Orators Voice.

'Tn the church." says Emerson in his
essay on eloquence, 81 call him only a
good reader who can read sense and
poetry into any hymn in the hymn
book" The test is a severe one, for there
are hymns which are wanting both in
sense and poetry. The essayist doubt
less intended to call attention to that
charm of a good voice which enchains
attention and indicates q rare sensi-
bility in the reader. "The voice, like
the face, betrays the nature and dis
position and soon indicates what is the
range of the speakers mind. Many
people have no ear for music, but every
one has an ear for skillful reading"
John Quincy Adams was said to be
so good reader that no man in his
time could read the Bible with such
powerful effect. Mr.. Emerson, who
heard the ex-president speak when his
fine voice was broken by age, records
that "the wonders he could achieve
with that cracked and disobedient or
gan showed what power might have
belonged to it in early manhood"

The cabbage Snake"

The Vermont experiment station de-
clares that there is no ground for the
popular alarm in connection with the So
called cabbage snake and that, as far as
its existencein New England is concerned,
it is probably myth. 1t seems that in
some places people have been burying
their cabbages for fear of this Snake
which is supposed to be so poisonous as
to kill hogs fed on the leaves it has
touched. In some parts of the country
a small, whitish eel-worm has been found
lntesting cabbages, its larvae preying
upon the common green cabbage worm.
Tests show that they are not poisonous,
however, extracts from the worm inject
ed into the system failing to produce the
least fleet. Symptoms tpoisoning which
may have been noted after a meal of cab
bage were probably due to careIessuess
in using poisonous insecticides on the
plants and insufficient washing of the
cabbage heads before cooking.
