The Spirit of Winter,

The Spirit OF Winter is with us, max
ing its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glistening SHOWS, and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
many people it seems to take delight
n making bad things worse, for rheuma-
itism twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrotula are devel-
oped and aggravated. There is not
much poetry in this, but there is truth,
and it is a wonder that more people
don't get rid of these ailments. The
medicine that cures them-Hood's Sar-
saparilla-is easily Obtained and there is
abundant proof that it's cures are
radical and permanent.

Persons who have money to deposit
in savings banks and who wish to have
their money kept in Vermont to foster
Vermont enterprises and build up Yer.
mont industries may send funds to the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co., Hyde Park, Vt, feeling fully
assured that every dollar will be loaned
III Vermont Depositors can remit
funds at banks risk if sent by check
or postal money order. Address either
the treasurer, G. A. Knight, or the pres
ident, G. S. Page, Hyde Park, vt.
The Hyde Park Bank holds the record
of having never owned a poor note
since its organization in January 1889
a fact which is easily accounted fol
when it is considered that the loans are
all in Vermont and the security there
for where it can easily be examined
by banks officials. Absolutely safety
rather than the high rate Of Interest
that can be secured on western loans
Is the first prerequisite demanded by
the Hyde Park Bank in making loans

How Trousers Came to BE PopuIar,

How Trousers Came to be Popular,
Trousers came into use for general
wear with the French revolution. The
gentlemen, the supporters of royalty
and sound constitutional principles,
wore breeches. The sans culottes,"
who denounced every one who wore
breaches, finally went beyond their op-
ponents and wore twice as much cloth
around their legs-in a word, adopted
the modern trousers and made them
the badge Of a party. Napoleon, who
was too thin at one period Of his life
and too stout at another to look his
best in small clothes, nevertheless wore
them on state occasions after he had
been crowned emperor. His army was
the first that wore trousers, and they
kept progress step by step with the
march Of the French legions.
The French trousers were seen in
Egypt, in Spain, in Italy, In Germany,
In Poland and in Russia, and with
them the neat gaiter. People thought
that the manner in which a great con-
querlng nation clad its legs was the
correct model, and when the trousers
wearers marched over the wearers Of
pigtails and knee breeches at Jena and
Auerstadt a decision was given from
which the world did not care to ap-
peal.

savages First to wear Mustaches.

In Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without boards, but in the
conquering days Of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the name Of barbara, or weavers Of
boards, attempted to shave in imitation
Of their conquerors, but as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is notorious
ly the hardest part Of the face to shave
in the case of any one poorly skilled
In the art they were unable to make
clean job Of it and left quantity Of
hair on the upper lip. This mark was
characteristic Of several nations on the
confines of Roman civilization, Of the
Gauls In particular, Of the Dacians and
some others. The Latin language has
no word for mustache

of the pipe would be 1887 yards, or,
rather, over a mile, while a pipe Of
similar length to contain the Pacific

THE PROPER COURSE.

Judge Drew, in passing on a blind
tiger case in Minden last week, is quoted
as saying that this traffic should cease
in Webster parish if he had the power
to suppress it, and in the future in all
cases of this character (where whiskey
dive is run in connection with legitimate
business) coming before him for SEN
tence. the proprietor of the legitimate
business would be held strictly respon-
sible and that he would assess the maxi
mum fine of $500 and six months in Jail.
This is the course that will win, as one
dose of Jail will do more to moralive
the average booze shower than all the
fines you can stick to him Tie 'em tip,
Mr.. Judge-Farmerville Gazette.
The judge is all powerful and he will
"do 'em up if he will add six months
in Jail to the minimum fine.

THE SPRING TOUR.

The Pittsburgh Orchestra is one of
the strictly permanent orchestras of the
country.
An authority on music says: The Or
chestra. now in its tenth year. and under
the leadership of conductor of inter-
national fame, has become a factor to
be reckoned with in the musical develop
ment of the country, ranking with its
two most important contemporaries, the
Boston Symphony Orchestra and the
Chicago Orchestra, This fact being self
evident to the orchestra committee, that
body has decided to send the organiza-
ton on a tour of FIVE weeks duration,
beginning April 24th, and covering a
range of territory which includes two
thirds of the United States. In order
that this tour shall be of unexcelled i'm
portance and of strength consistent
with the position of the orchestra at
home. the committee has engaged Mad
anne Gadski as solost for the entire
tour, and has also secured the promise
of Mr. Paur to alternate as soloist at
the piano, giving the public choice be-
tween famous singer and famous plan-
ist on te programmes that will be pre-
sented A few important festival en-
gagements will be included in the tour
With this company is Madame Johan-
ma Gadski. who has been for the last
nine years one of the favorite Wagner
ian sopranos of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, has just completed her first
American trans-continental tour in con-
cert and song recital.
The conductor is Emil Paur, who has
admittedly developed the strength OF
that now famous organization to point
of achievement never before attained
The season has been series of artistic
triumpfs of noteworthy brilliancy, and
each successive concert has confirmed
the sympathetic relationship established
at once between Mr. Paur and his men
as we'll as between the orchestra and
audience
The entertainment by this famed Or
ganization will take place at the opera
house, under the auspices of Polymnia
on Thursday night, May 4, and doubt
less will draw a full house.
