Secretary Bonaparte's signature.

The signature Of Charles ]. Bona
parte, the new secretary Of the navy, is
the subject Of much speculation in the
different bureaus Of the department
Nothing like it has been seen for al
least four generations Of secretaries
and the speculation is as to how long
1t will last In its present entirety. 1t Is
large, distinct, carefully rounded, and
every letter is made with care. 1t is
distinctly handsome, and Secretary Bo-
naparte writes it with much care,
spelling the Charles" out and finishing
with a little flourish and carefully
added period Secretary Longs sigma
ture used to look like a rapid dash
downhill, Secretary Moody's was an
incoherent assemblage Of vertical and
inclined lines and Secretary Morton's
bold, running hand showed q tendency
to stretch out into a straight line be-
fore he finished his incumbency.
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ig-
nored suggestions that &c. j." would
be just as binding and would be less la
borious and devotes the time while the
signature is being formed to learning
the why and wherefore Of the paper
before him, so that the time Is by no
means lost and the temptation to per-
functory signing is much lessened.-

Christ would save even the lowest
and the vilest. He would save Paul,
the chief Of sinners, even as he would
save the gentle John. He would do for
us in spiritual way what that Indian
mother in a physical sense tried to do
for her little daughter many years ago
upon one OF the ice foes of Lake HUI
ron. This mother was an Indian
squaw Of Manitoulin island, Of the
Ojibway tribe. She was standing up
on the ice near to the shore one even

stood parted, and the block blew out
into the lake. Next morning the In
dead baby by her side. But before the
mother died this Indian squaw took
off her own clothes and wrapped them
about her baby. Then with her naked
body she lay down upon the ice to
shield her child from the fierce winds
and cuddled the little one sclose under
her naked breast. SO the divine Christ
has come TO us. He has laid down his
life as sacrifice for U.S. He has
placed his body between US and the
evil results Of our sins, and today
upon the cross he says "Oh, sinner,
come to me; live in me. l have died

was working fraud in johnson. His
scheme was that he was hard up, had
got strapped and in order to raise a
little money to help him to get to st
bloomsbury would ask loan on gold
ring His scheme worked quite well.
He secured dollar or two on a ring
and would then work the game on
another victim, having good supply of
rings. Several rings were disposed of
before the fraud got out. The sheriff
tracd him to Wolcott, where i ring or
two was left From there the man went
to Hardwick and Sheriff Stevens found
him in the postoffice, where he had
Just mailed a batch of rings to part
ner probably in the same business else
where. The man, who was about 30
years Of age, gave his name as r. T..
Barnes and claimed to hail from Man
chester, N. III. He was brought TO Hyde
Park and after d nights sojourn in the
county hotel was taken to johnson for
trial. A hearing held there Saturday
before Judge Dillingham; resulted in the
prisoner being fined SIS and costs which

TO CURE A
TERRIFIC HEADACHE

Many people suffer with an aching head
week after week, occasionally getting relief
from so-called headache powders and nerve
supplying drugs. They never get cured be-
cause they start wrong. Such people should
do little common-sense thinking. Headache
is simply the result, a warning signal, OF a far
more serious trouble. Usually il means bad
blood, poisoned by an inactive or sluggish
liver. Headache sufferers are often nervous,
cross and irritable. Their sleep is disturbed
and digestion impaired. The liver doesn't do
its work right, and the bile elements poison
both nerve and brain. Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills cure headache by removing the
cause. They are Natures true laxative, and
give tone to liver activity, are positive spe-
ciic for biliousness and a torpid liver. Get
your liver right by using Smiths Pineapple
and Butternut Pills and your head won ache,
your nerves won't weaken, nor your food dis.
tress you. They cure headache, constipation,
and biliousness in one night. Price rs cents

Consequently, the business requires

There is another popularity which is
worthy Of mention. Although the goods

cases, the correspondent was shown the

made to Asia, although Mr.. Pages larg-
est customers are the tanners Of Ger
many.
Although the calfskin business has
given to Mr.. Page his fame, his trade
in beef hides, horse hides, sheep peIts,
tallow, bones, etc, is by no means in
significant. Mr.. Page doesn't seek ship
ments Of these from remote points be-
cause the advantages which he enjoys
in calfskins do not attach to these
kindred commodities, and where the
freight charges exceed IS cents per hun
bred he makes little or no effort to have
the trade ship him either hides or tai
low. Statistics show that Mr. Pages
collection of beef hides aggregates more
than 25 per cent of the entire collection
OF domestic hides of the city Of New
York
Mr.. Page operates wool pulling plant
where the wool is taken from the sheep
pelts sent to him. He also operates
a tallow rendering plant where he re-
ceives and handles tallows, beeves
heads and feet, bones, etc. The better
grades of tallow go to the tanners to
use in the finishing Of leather, the poor
Ell grades to soap manufacturers The
feet are boiled and the neatsfoot oil
extracted therefrom. The shin bones
are sold for export and are made into
knife handles. The horns are sold to
the comb manufacturers of eastern
Massachusetts,.
The greatest of all these by products,
the bone and tallow scraps, are the
basis OF a business which has become
somewhat noted the manufacture Of a
perfected poultry food.
The same system which has enabled
Mr.. Page to build up his extensive calf
skin business is carried, though not to
SO great an extent, into his wool pull
ing business, the subdivisions number
ing more than 80 Even the sheepskins,
from which the wool is taken, is picked
and then subdivided into 30-odd classi-
fications, the cheapest Of which are used
for the covers Of basebaIls, which, by
the way, are wholesaled at 81 a gross,
while the best grades are converted into
genuine CD kid gloves, such as milady
wears on special occasions.
Mr.. Page was born in 1843. On
April Fl, 1855, his father, Russell S.

MAPLE SUGAR CROP.
Not Quite 0la Pounds to the Tree in
Lamoille County.

Morrisyille, April Clip to this
time it is safe to say that two pounds
of maple sugar to a tree is about a
fair average, Some of our buyers re
port less than two pounds and some
of them triae more. Mr.. Shattuclx,
Of Eden, says two pounds is about the
average in that town, H. H. Patch, OF
Fletcher, thinks not much more than
one and one-half pounds to the tree
has been made. A North Troy buyer
thinks the average viii be better than
two pounds.
The quality has not been quite up
to the average, very little compare
lively real fancy sugar having been
made. At least one more good run of
sap is expected, therefore it is safe
to predict fair crop, but not quite
up to the average, which in the last
five years is called two and one half

Mr.. Page receives single orders for
$4,000 pocket book calfskins at time.
Black and dark brown skins are select
ed for mittens and for the covers Of
canteens. The skins for this last named
purpose are shipped to supply the ar
mics Of Europe.
OF course a large share Of the skins
goes into shoe leather. For the fancy
