PERMANENT ROAD BUILDING.

The meeting Of Washington county
road commissioners will be held at
Montpelier tomorrow, and there should
be a large attendance Of those particu-
larry who have charge of the road work
in the various towns, although it is
probable that others Interested in the
good roads movement win be gladly
welcomed. There is certain to be much
good coming from the interchange of
ideas and from the practical talks Of
the state commissioner and others. The
good roads movement is gaining strength
throughout the state, and during each
year some towns see the benefits of
doing the work well. Last fall the
neighboring town of East Montpelier
built short strip of Telford road. That
the results are satisfactory is apparent.
A stretch Of muddy road has been chang
ed into fine piece Of dry, smooth thor
oughfare Before the change the road
was practically impossible during the
wet seasons Of the years; this spring it
was dry and firm almost as soon as the
snow disappeared In building it the
town Of East Montpelier has reflected
great credit upon itself as being pro-
gressive. So well pleased are the citi-
zens there that other work along the
same line may be tried this season. And
the example might well be followed by
other towns Of the state.

" to the superintendent, whom, declared
the speaker, you have honored in nam
ing this building the Mathewson school. /
But, he added, in so naming it you have
honored yourself more
Congratulations from Supt. Ranger.
State Superintendent of Education
Walter r. Ranger spoke next, congrat
ulating Barre ON the completion of the
Mathewson school and for the efficiency
OF the school system. Barre has done
we'll. One of the most inspiring things
about the dedication was that SO many
people have attended the exercises.
1t appealed more strongly to him than
did the building, fine as it was. 1t
was an evidence of Barre's past record
and an earnest for the future. Supt.
Ranger told of the rapid strides for
education in this city, saying that while
hundred years ago one per cent was
required for the schools, Barre is pay
ing sixty per cent. The city is generous
with its schools and has nobly supported
them Barre is fortunate in having a
large and growing population, fortunate
in having a large number OF children
aud fortunate in economy, saying that
Barre's cost per capita is much less
than the average.
Il am glad to honor you for your fine
building here and ! am glad also to
| think that the sentiment here shown is
| typical of the whole state, sturdy and
steadfast.1 He referred to the fact
that 25 schools are built and 400 re-
paired each year in the state, and said
| that the Mathewson school is one of the
| finest Id the state. But why stop
| there2 You have some of the finest
school buildings in the country"
Vermont loyalty supports its schools,
and in this Barre has been unexcelled.
Barre has had a great problem to solve
in its educational system, but Barre
has come forward and met the prob
| lem He referred to the fact that some
years ago the city built school houses
when they were needed, and declared
that ii that course had not been taken
the city would now be swamped with
the problem of school accommodation. In
closing he spoke OF the needs that the
| boy of today requires in the educational
line, as compared with the needs OF
| fifty years ago.
/ Commissioner Hooker, in behalf Of the
teachers, thanked the guests for then
attendance, and the dedication exercises
closed with a benediction by the Rev
R. +. Lowe, pastor of the Methodist
church
The teachers who served on the com
mittee of introduction were Misses
Stevens, Darling, Kew, Cummings, Bail
ey, Mrs. Wales and Mrs. Walker. Thos'
who served refreshments were Mrs. viii
liams, Mrs. Northrop, Misses Brown
Hunter, Blanchard, Burbank, Carleton
Tracy, Smith and Chandler.

In his address at the dedication Of
the new school building on Elm street
Saturday evening the state superinten-
dent, w. Z. Ranger, gave expression 70
one notable fact in connection with
Barre schools, That Is, that the people
Of the city are interested in the work
that is being done. This remark by
Mr.. Ranger was called forth by the
large attendance at the dedication sx-
ercises. One cause for the large measure
Of success that has been maintained II
this same interest, which was mani
tested Saturday in the large attend
ance.

A HORNED PEOPLE.
Queer Race That Lives Near the Chi
nese Prefecture of Chienchang.


Adjoining the Chinese prefecture Of
Chfenchang IS a deep gully barred by
q river which no Chinaman is permit
ted to pass until he finds bail for his
good conduct in LolOdom.
The Lolos are a slim. well made.
muscular race with oval reddish brown
faces, high cheek bones and pointed
chins, from which the beard has been
carefully pluckeI They are far taller
than the Chinese and indeed than any
European race. but their marked pc
culiarity is the horn. Every male
adult gathers his hair in a knot over
his forehead and then twists it up in a
cotton cloth so that it resembles the
horn Of a unicorn.
This horn is considered sacred, and
even if q Lolo settles in Chinese terri
tory and grows pigtail he still pre-
serves his horn The L0lO mans prin-
cIpal garment is a wide sleeveless man
tie of red or black felt tied about the
neck anu descending almost to the
heels. The trousers are Of Chinese
cotton with felt bandages. No shoes
are worn, but a coIical hat of woven
bamboo covered with felt furnishes a
head covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the LolOs into
two classes. which they call respective
" BLACK Bones" and White Bon
the first being the mobiles and the latter
their vassals and retainers. There is
also q third class Of captive Chinese
and their descendants, called ''WatZu."
practically slaves, who are tattOOed on
the forehead with the mark Of their
tribe.
The L0los never marry except in
their own tribes. captive Chinese wOm-
en- being given to their bondsmen. Tie
marriage of a Black Bone is a time of
great festivities and many banquets.
The betrOthal is celebrated and ratified
by the present of the husband to the
brides family of pig and three yes
sells Of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride IS
richly dressed with many ornaments.
She IS expected to weep profusely,
whether she feels so inclined or not.
In the midst Of her tears the grOOm's
relatives and friends dash in, seize the
bride. the best man carries her out Of
doors on his shoulders, she is clapped
on a horse and hurried of to her new
home. Here she finds horses, cattle
and sheep, provided by the grOOm's
family, while her own people send
clothes. ornaments and corn. Women
occupy a high position among the 10
los. and q woman chief is not unknown
among the tribes-New York Herald.

The Arab Steed.

An Arab steed of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in a race by an
English thoroughbred. but in other re-
spects il outshines its western rival.
1t is so docile that it is treated by its
owner as one Of the family, and it has
an iron constitution, for it sleeps out
at night without covering or shelter.

regarding Gainesville, with an un-
Willingness to await death for real

hold on the people of Alachua and
spreading to other counties of the
state. And it is this notion. coupled
with the fact that the city is as a

is rapidly making Gainesville the
best inland city of Florida. Aud it
is there that the sun shines and does
