The Lords Prayer.

The following beautiful compost
ton was taken during the civil war,
in Charleston, S. G., by brother OF
Mrs. S. B. Holmer, OF Kendalville,
Ind, 1t is printed on very heavy sat,
in and is quite literary curiosity,
Thou, to the Mercy Seat our souls doth
To do our duty unto Thee,
Our Father,
To whom all praises, all honor should
be given,
For Thou art the Great God
Who art in Heaven,
Thou, by Thy wisdom, rulst the
worlds whole frame
Forever therefore,
Hallowed be Thy name,
Let nevermore delays divide us from
Thy glorious grace, but let
Thy kingdom come,
Let Thy commands opposed by none,
But Thy good pleasure and
Thy will be done,
Andl lot eur prornptnoas to obOy bo
Even the very same
On earth as it is in Heaven,
Then for our souls, o Lord, we also
pray
Thou would'st be pleased to
Give us this day,
The food of life wherewith our souls
are fed
Sufficient raiment, and
Our daily bread,
With every needful thing do Thou
relieve us,
And, of Thy mercy, pity
And forgive us
All our misdeeds, for Him, whom
Thou did'st please
To make an offering for
Our trespasses;
And for as much, o Lord, as we believe
That Thou wilt pardon us
AS we forgive
Let that love teach wherewith Thou
dost acquaint us
To pardon all
Those who trespass against us,
And though sometimes Thou Fl
we have forgot ndest
This love to Thee, yet help
And lead us not
Through soul or body's want to des
peratiOn,
Nor let earth's gain drive us
Into temptation;
Let not the soul of any true believer
Fall in the time of trial.
But deliver
Yea, save them from the malice of the
devil
And, both in life and death, keep
Us from evil;
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of Thee
from whom
This may be had,
For thine is the kingdom,
This world is full of Thy works, its
wondrous story
To Thee belongs
The power and the glory,
And all Thy works have ended never
Bnt will remain forever and
Forever.
Thus we poor creatures would confess
again,
And this say eternally,
Amen.

The skeats, Smells, eIsaas.

There are many examples of sur
names which denote physical or
mental strength in the person who
first bore them. Striking instances
are: Skeat, the old English sket,
swift; Smell, the old English smell (;
old Morse Sniallr, swift, strong;
MARVEL, meaning prodigy; Swift,
Sharp, Quick; Maginn, probably
from the old Morse meginn, strong.
A remarkable northern name is
GIegg, or Clegg, which represents
the old Morse gloggr, Scotch gleg,
meaning quick, clever, and occur
ring in the Lancashire dialect as
clegg. In south Yorkshire they say
that quick witted man is cas- glegg
as a wumble'-that is, sharp as a
gimlet. Every one of these sur
names-and there are more of the
same kinds certainly derived
from the mental or physical good
qualities of an ancestor.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

Mary Rogers Case.

The case of Mary M. Rogers, the
condemned Vermont murderess,
was. argued in the supreme court OF
the United States Monday. L. J.
Jeffords and F, NJ. Butler appeared
for MRS. Rogers and Attorney Cen
eral Fits for the state. The attor-
neys for Mrs, Rogers ask for a writ
of habeas corpus, contending that
only courts can fix day of execu-
ton. They also contended that the
fact hearing in the case by the state
supreme court was not held in Ben
nington county was prejudicial to
Mrs. Rogers case and contrary to
law.
Acknowledgement Fits upheld the
regularity of the action of the gov
ernor in fixing December 8 for the
execution and also that Of the state
supreme court.
The attorneys for Mrs. Rogers
also argued that she had been in SOL
itary confinement over six months
whereas the state law limits such
confinement to three months.

TEXAS AND VERMONT
Each Was an independent Republic
Before Entering the SisterhOod OF
States.

Each Was an independent Republic
Before Entering the Sisterhood OF
States.
The circumstances of Vermonts
admission into statehood are identi-
cal almost with those of Texas.
Each OF the states named was an in
dependent republic before entering
the sisterhood, though in Vermonts
case independence was acknowl-
edged by the United States by i'm
plication only, and not directly, as
in the case of Texas.
Prior to the Revolution both New
York and New Hampshire laid
claim to the territory now ccmpris-
ing the state of Vermont. In I777,
however, the Green Mountain boys
declared Vermont an independent
state and, framing constitution,
asked admission into the federation
of states. Massachusetts upheld
Vermont in this action, and in the
dispute over the Vermont territory
waged between New Hampshire and
New York the United States admit
ted that they had no compulsory
powers and Vermont's independence
was practically acknowledged. In
1881 Chittenden, the then governor
of Vermont, entered into negotia-
tons with the British in Canada in
Ordor to eefe5u"r1l hio- little Ntate
from her neighbors' encroachments.
This so alarmed congress that res
oIution was passed promising to &C
knowledge Vermont as an independ-
ent commonwealth and admit her
into the Union on condition that she
relinquish certain territory belonging
to New York and New Hampshire,
which she had seized by way Of re-
prisal. This Vermont ultimately
did, but up to her admission to the
Union in 1891, she exercised for ten
years the functions of an independ-
ent state.
The similarity Of this to Texas is
at once apparent, although the United
States did not-as in the case Of
Texas-negotiate treaty with Yer
mont. 1t is true, however, that the
condition under which both states
entered the Union are tantamount to
a treaty, no provision of which can
be violated by either party without
the consent Of the other. Terrific
rial integrity is manitestly one of the
implied conditions Of their admis-
sion. That this is true is attested
by the fact that in the compromise
of 1850, when one-third of the terri
tory of Texas was Topped off, thi:
state claimed and received indemnity
from the United States to the eX-
tent Of $I2,75o,ooo. However, in
1896, when a decision of the United
States supreme court deprived Texas
of Greer county, she made no de-
mand for indemnity, although the
basis of such claim would seem to
have been as just as in I85o.-San
Antonio Express.

FREE TO FARMERS

In Bulletin No. I16 recently is.
sued by the Vermont Agricultural
Experiment Station, Formula No. I,
commends the following ingredients
for fall seeding, without manure,
The amounts named are for one
acre.
Raw Ground Bone 900 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate 100 to $50 "
Wood Ashes 900 to 400
Muriate of Potash so to 10 "
To any Farmer writing to e. S.
Page, Hyde Park, VT, saying that
he saw this notice in the Spirit of
the Age, Mr.. Page will send free
sample of the above ingredients, ex-
cepting the ashes, and give the cost
thereof laid down at the Farmers
nearest station.
The Experiment Station Bulletin
well says son every account,
financial, educational, agricultural,
it is better to buy the crude stock
and home mix, if one uses ton or
more"
Any farmer who will send Mr..
Page $3,25 will receive, freights
prepaid, sample 200 pound barrel
Of his Ground Bone. 1t is guaran-
teed to be an absolutely pure, nat
ural Bone Meal. No valuable in
gradients have been taken therefrom
as is the case with much of the Bone
Meal now being offered to the pub
lie.
Nearly all the large fertilizer man
ufacturers make a bone glue by boil
ing their bones and extracting the
gluten therefrom. Mr.. Pages Bone
Meal is by product from the man
ufacture OF Pages Perfected Poultry
Food, and is the bone flour sifted
out from the graduated bone which
forms one OF the principal ingredi-
ents of this Poultry Food. 1t is this
fact that enables Mr.. Page to fur
nish pure Bone Meal at so low
price. Save your ashes and mix
with this Bone Meal and you will
find it worth double the cost.

Woodstock, VT, Nov H. 1905

A veteran hunter attributes the
falling off in the number of deer that
were killed dnring the past open sea-
son, to the presence in increasing
numbers Of bears and other predato-
nv animals. They are driving the
deer from the Green Mountain range
to some extent at least, and IL not
leaving the state, they are seeking
less frequented hunting grounds
1t is certain that there never was so
many bears and bear Sign" before
in the Windsor County deer haunts'
and deer were found in localities
where they had very rarely been seen
before. There doesn't seem to be
room for bears and deer in fairly
limited area, and if the former con-
tinues to increase and enlarge thelr
field of operations the deer will nave

HOW TO SLEEP AND WHEN.
Bone Words Of Advice From a Doctor
oa This Subject.

oa This subject.
The following brief quotations
are from Sleep and Its Regula-
ton" by DIR. j. Madison Taylor in
Popular Science Monthly:
During childhood and exhaustive
states too much sleep is rarely pos
sible. For those in full tide Of Wig
or too much sleep is often distinctly
hurtful.
The action Of narcotics presents
none of the characteristics of nor
NAL sleep except the temporary ar
rest of consciousness; hence mar
COSTS is not true sleep.
The best position to assume in
sleep to invite the least disturbance
of the functions of the great or
gans ia on the abdomen, or nearly
so.
Many obscure forms Of digestive
OF circulatory disorders may have
been initiated in infancy through
lying too long upon the back.
To secure the most perfect re-
pose the temperature Of all parts
should be equalized before retiring.
Cold feet induce delay in securing
sleep, and it is then shallow when
attained.
1t is most unwise to overflll the
stomach before retiring; this dis
turbs sleep almost as much as hun
ger, but moderate eating before
sleeping is not hurtful, and is often
salutary.
Body clothing at night should be
loose, not dense, permitting the
ready passage of air, never OF wool
next to the skin.
Bed clothing should not be too
close of texture, blankets being pref
cradle to dense "comfortables" and
not "tucked in" too closely. Air
should be allowed to pass occasion
ally under the sides at least as one
turns about more or less freely.
Early rising is a salutary custom,
especially when the day comes early
not otherwise.
More sleep is required in winter
than in summer. The best sleep is
had during the hours of darkness.
The sleeping room should be cool,
abundant air being always admit
ted. This should not be interpret
ed to mean that the room may safe
ly remain intensely cold.
In the modern treatment Of tu-
berculosis fresh air is recognized to
be imperatively needed all day and
all night. Artificial heat can, and
should, be supplied along with the
fresh air till the temperature Of the
room be at or near so or Sc degrees
F., for some even 60 degrees F.

softenina Of the Brain.

According to a London physician
softening Of the brain is very COM
mon occurrence in the country, one
third of the laborers in rural dis
tricts of England dying from it. The
hause of the disease, according to
this authority, is the lack of brain
exercise. "The intellect of a rural
laborer rusts rather than wears out,
and when he attains the age Of six
ty-fTe or seventy-fve he usually dies
in an apoplectic fit or something Of
the kind. Judges and others whose
thinking capacity is continuously
employed live to far greater age
than the average rural laborer."
