CONSERVATIVES HOSPITAL.
James Fisk Hooper Opposes Its Loca-
ton at Brattleboro.

a meeting Of the ineorporators Of the
Austine sanatorium was held Saturday
night al Brattleboro in response to a
request from james Fish Hooker, first
selectman, who Is member of the
corporation hy virtue of his town Office.
The object OF the meeting was to con-
slider the question Of whether the $780,
900 hequeathed To the town in trust
By Col. William Austine for the estab-
lishment Of a hospital for the tempo
rary treatment Of strangers and local
inyalids who may be peculiarly situ-
ated' should be used for the establish
ment OF a hospital for eonsumptiYes.
The question was discussed in its yari-
Gus phases, but no action was taken.
The discussion brought out the fact
that Selectman Hooker is the only one
Of the incorporators opposed to a con
sumptives' hospital. Mr.. Hooker said
he thought such an institution, while
it might be managed properly, would be
detrimental to the town. He drew from
the other ineorporators the admission
that they contemplated receiving aid
from the state, thus making it state
institution, which he thought would be
even more detrimental from the stand
point OF the reputation it would give
the town, than q private Institution
would be- He advocated building hos
pital for the treatment Of chronic cases
which would not be taken at the Brat
tleboro Memorial hospital.

The Father and Mother
OF the Flowers

IOriginail
Papiuta was the daughter Of a Span
ISL rranaee. Don Miguel Rebera, and
liked wifh her father midway between
seaadaIia and Salamanca. Papinta
was tbsarhed in flower culture. In the
eag spring the flowers that had been
kapt ia the conservatory during the
winfer we're carried out for her, and
she planted them herself Then while
they weru Budding she cared for them,
pruning and watering them with her
own hand. At times she would talk
to them as If they were children

them or from her lover. or both. she fell
i'll and passed rapidly into a burning
fever
While delirious Papinta saw vision,
She was in heaven and In that part OF
heaven to which she was assigned to
dwell, the heavenly gardens. The flow
ers there seemed endowed with life,
some lifting their heads erect as If con-
scious Of possessing supernatural
strength for good, others modestly
bowling as If in a sanctuary, while
some crept on the surface as IL con-
scious of unworthiness. On all there
shone light Of heavenly splendor
| Presently they raised their heads and
turned them In the same direction. Pa
pinta looked, and there coming she
saw the father Of the flowers. He was
smiling upon her. and when he drew
near he said;
"Welcome, Papinta. Here we shall
care for the flowers untrammeled BY
the ills Of earth They viii not be
bIighted by drought or storm These

Changes there will be, but not the
changes through which they have pass
ed. The transitions win rather be from
one delight to another. Come, mother
of the flowers, let me show you our
heavenly children"
He led her along paths that sparNled
with crystals and shells and pebbles.
The flowers as they approached turned
toward them, breathing upon them as
they passed such fragrance as Papinta
had never known before. There were
the rich flowers Of the tropics, wild
flowers both OF mountain and Of low
| land and tiny bits such as violets and
lilies of the valley.
"These," said the father Of the flow
ers. pointing to the larger ones fare
our grown sons and daughters; these,
the smaller mes. our younger children,
and these. the tiny ones, our babes
From her vision Papinta passed into
a consciousness of her real surround
ings Her father and mother were
standing looking down upon her, and
there between them was the mortal
father Of the flowers.
| When Don Miguel had seen that he
must lose bis daughter or bring the
stranger to her he went out for the
purpose and found his guest waiting
without the gates. Don Miguel brought
him In. and be stood with Papinta's
parents over her bed. waiting till she
should regain her faculties.

MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlxind is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
struetor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia p. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it Is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds Of themwould aclSnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases Of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DIR. s. G. Brigham, of 4 Brigham

Fertility of Soil Essential to Fruit.

Every system of cultivating fruits
recognizes the necessity of fertility
in the soil. The fruit tree has as a
first principle the right to be consid-
cred a specific and sufficient crop up
on the soil, at least to be regarded as
crop quite as exhausting in charac-
ter as any other crop. The grower
must, if he expects TO succeed, realize
and put in practice the essentials of
this principle. Experiments in or
charding conducted at the Cornell
experiment station proved conclusive
~ that it costs the soil more TO pro-
duce 20 average crops OF apples than
20 average crops of wheat. In other
words, more fertility was taken from
each acre of bearing apple trees for
20 years than in growing 20 consecu-
tive crops of wheat. Every farmer
recognizes the food needs of wheat,
but too many look upon the fruit tree
as a mere tenant of the soil, and not
as a specific crop.
With this principle ever in view the
fruit grower must work out his par
tlCuldl AlClHOu dSCoiNluS 10 SOll, ClllI-
attic and other conditions. The me-
thod of clean culture during that part
of the growing season which requires
the most nourishment 70 carry the
crop TO perfection is the one in a great
majority Of orchards TO be recom-
mended.
Secondary crops in an orchard, eX-
cept in very rare cases, are injurious.
Fertilizers should be spread on the
surface aud worked in in the spring
with shallow cultivation. Do not
waste fertilizers near the body of a
bearing tree. The feeding roots are
near the surface and extend to a dis
lance from its body about equal to its
height.

Cold Storage for Fruits.

What this section most needs is a
large cold storage building, not nee
essarily expensive, but of considera BILE
capacity. Thousands upon thousands
OF packages of fruit can be changed
from the loss to the profit side as we'll
as increasing the profit on what gives
the grower something above costs.
Many are the times when with good
cold storage rooms we could hold our
fruits which we are forced 20 gather
when prime TO save from becoming
overripe and worthless. The holding
of perishable fruits for even one day
often changes from the loss to the
profit side of the account.
With such an arrangement we could
work the whole day and not be obliged
to stop gathering and prepare the
shipment by train time. Besides we
could work every day in the week. 1t
would obviate the necessity Of Sunday
gathering because we cannot ship
Saturday.
The most important feature is in
being able to hold back during a glut
in the market or during a hot, wet
period of a few days until the market
clears and the demand becomes good
again. 1t also frequently happens
that two or more days are required TO
load car which would take our fruit
TO the consumer. With cold storage
this could be done, but as it is we
have to cousigu TO the commission
man and take what he may choose to
give us.
Some seasons there have been losses,
on account of not being able 20 hold,
even for a short time, of amounts
sufficient to build good cold storage
plant. To build and equip plant
requires an organization. One grow
er could hardly afford the expense,
but several growers could unite and
build one that would be a source of
profit. 1t could be used in spring TO
extend the apple season, and potatoes
could be kept fresh and plump until
used. From strawberry time on we
have a succession of fruits TO dispose
Of and it is often desirable to hold
grapes on account of either a dearth
of cars or low markets. In such an
event cold storage would bridge the
dilemma with great advantage TO the
grower.
Fruit growers, evolve the cold stor-
age ideas. Revolve it. then resolve
to be present at the horticultural
meeting June s, at 49, Discuss the
matter. Something in this direction
should be made to materialize. 1t is
not too early to prepare for a stock of
ice for next year, but will soon be too
late.

Memorial Day Services.

The services at the Baptist church
Memorial Sunday were in harmony with
the subject. The day was an ideal one
and the ceremonies were simple and APP
propriate.
The members of the G.. A. r. and the
w. Il. G. formed in front of their hall
aud, with the American flag at their
head, marched to the church, where
they were met by band of boys and
girls who escorted them into the church
and to their seats which had been re-
served for them. The balance of the
church was filled with citizens who came
to pay tribute to the living soldiers.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. G. +. Huifer, and Rev. 4. w.
Mumford gave a most excellent discourse
from text chosen from Acts, %: %,
with Great Sum Obtained | This
Freedom" tie spoke in part as follows;
at the beginning of the war true and
loyal hearts used to sing:
Brave boys are they, gone at their coun-
try's cali;
And yet, and yet we cannot forget that
many brave boys must fall

the dreams of the widest imagination

mind us of these later day heroes who
went forth to battle for the unity of this
republic and to erase the stain caused

His Blindness an Advantage.

The London Chronicle relates that
during a fog a military man, advanced
in years, lost his way completely in the
nocturnal vapor. Dumping against a
stranger, he explained his misfortune
and gave his address. II know it quite

for a moment on the whole route.

man, $50 it is! But how on earth
have you been able TO make your way
through such a fog?" Il know every
