The Brlghtlook Hospital Fund.

Our readers will remember that last
January meeting was held in the inter-
ests of Brightlook Hospital, at which
time it was stated that an unknown
friend" had made the liberal offer of
$4,000 towards hospital plant, on con-
dition that $4,000 more should be
raised within a definite time. 1t is now
permitted us to announce that this friend
is Mrs. Rebecca P. Fairbanks, who has
long served the hospital as president OF
the Ladies Aid Association, working in
connection with the Institution. Since
then Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Brooks
have generously offered another $4,000,
on condition that a total sum OF $780,
900 be raised before an. l, 1907. A
canvass OF the town has been made, and
the total pledges, including the sums
above mentioned, now amount to $13,-
$50. This is an excellent beginning. but
Sc, $50 more must be raised before succe IS
crowns the effort. No one questions the
value 10 St Johnsbury of we'll located,
well built, well equipped hospital such as
is proposed, and the project is anew pre-.
sented to the thoughtful and generous
consideration of our citizens. Those who
have not yet given at all are earnestly re-
quested to contribute according to their
ability; and those who are disposed to
enlarge their benefactions, in view OF the
pressing necessity tor an increase of gifts,
will find their help most heartily appre-
ciated.

By the following, which is an exact
copy Of the first paragraph in the will
Of Henry ". Of England, written IN
January, 1903, it will be seen that even
kings are not always good spoilers:
"In the name Of God, Fadir, Son and
Holly Cost, three Persons and one God,
l. Henery, sinful wrech by the Grace OF
God Kyng of England and Fraunce,
and Lord of Irland, being In my hole
mynd, max my testament in manere
and forme that suyth, Fyrst, / be-
quethe to Almighty God my sinful soul,

Also, thanke my lords threw the
peple for the trew servyse that they
have dune unto me, and l ask them
forgyvnis If l hasth mysentreted them

1t will also be noted that Henry, be-
sides not being up to the standard as a
speller, had a peculiar habit of spelling
one word in from two to five different
ways.

The Stone of Destiny.

The historic stone known in Scotland
as the "Stone Of Destiny" in Ireland
as the Ella Fail" and In England as
Jacobs Pillar or the "Scone" is said
to have been brought from Egypt to
Ireland by a beautiful princess, who
placed it in Taras hall in $50 B. G. At
present this very ancient relic is fas-
tened underneath the coronation chair
in Westminster abbey. The stone is of
dark color, streaked with red, and is
twenty-six inches long, sixteen inches
wide and eleven inches thick. Its sur
face is much defaced, and deep crack
almost divides it into two parts. Ira

"PoIycraft" Studio.

An illustrated article in a recent issue
Of the Boston Sunday Post describes
studio that is now attracting the art
circles in Boston as being the most
unique of its kind in the world. Miss
Helen Sinclair Patterson acts as general
OF this remarkable establishment, and
besides bel & one of the young ladies OF
whom st. Johnsbury is justly proud, she is
we'll known as a member OF the Students
Club, because of some striking exhibits.
She studied at the Cowles and also at
the Eric Pape schools and within few
years has been identified with the
Quimby books, so called, probably the
most sumptuous publications ever pro-
jected in the city. Besides this she has
done illustrating for various firms and
the Bbliophile Society. Herexhibitions Of
water colors are we'll known among the
summer colony of artists at Ogunquit
and at her home here she has tried hei
hand and her eye in some highly success
| tul efforts at interior decoration.
So rcsohrcetul and competent an art
istic person is she that she has found in
the combination OF arts and crafts an
excellent opportunity to organize in this
unique fashion an industry exclusively
her own.
In this studio are collected several
young ladies, all mistresses OF their part
ocular cratts,-jewels are carved from the
rough to become things OF beauty, ano
metals are wrought with every con
ceivable artistic effect. Paintings too
are skiltully copied after the style OF thu
Orient, or the conceptions OF moderr
masters are produced according to you
order. Never before has such den of al
things artistic been heard of and its con
ception is the result of the brilliant idea
OF Miss Patterson. In company will
her is Miss Grace Brown, who has spen
some OF her holidays with Miss Patter
son at her home here. and who is also {
| designer.

A Bulgarian Dictionary.

Rev. c. F. Morse has just completed
the copy for new Bulgarian dictionary
after two years of close study and he has
received word from the officers OF the
American Board at Boston that por-
ton of the recent Rockefeller gift can be
utilized for publishing the work. The
book is a revision of the first dictionary
10 the Bulgarian language which Mr..
Morse had published in Constantinople
when he was missionary of the Ameri-
can Board in 1860. That contained
1000 words and has been OF great service
in the mission stations ever since. For
the past three years this work has been
out OF print and Mr.. Morse conceived the
idea OF another edition and this will be
issued from the Bible house at Constants
nople as soon as possible, The new die
tionary will contain over 10000 words

November Weather.

All the Irose and poetry about a
dreary November with its dull, leaden
skies and winter weather was upset this
year and the month passes into history
with record to its credit OF being one
the most delightful months in the whole
year now drawing to close. There
were only two days in the month when
the mercury dropped to within three
degrees oil zero and last week one might
have thought that Indian summer had
appeared. The warm weather has
affected trade in the village and many OF
the merchants are hoping for cold
snap, but the winter will be shorter, even
if is severe. There has been a good
deal of frosty weather withal and in dig
ging for some new connections at the
Armory last week the workman EN-
ployed by the Aqueduct Company found
the ground frozen in the middle of the
macadamized road to the depth of %
inches, surprising depth considering
the mild weather.
The old residents recall much severei
days in previous years. Frank w. Ma
son OF Passumpsic went to Florida 81
year ago the last week in November anC
lett town with the mer curry Is below zero
and with nearly three feet OF snow on th
ground. The CALIFORNIAN OF that yea
says the railroad started out it's snow
plows that week and that winter hat
really begun. But this severe record wa
eclipsed by the spell OF weather that Wis
tied northern New England in the tall @
1843. That year there was heavy sno "
fall Oct. % and the snow stayed unit
spring. Many Of the farmers had no
harvested all their crops, and potatoe
that were not dug were left until sprin
and then found in excellent condition.

Artists as Frame Makers.

The frame for the picture is always
a sore question with the average artist,
as any one of them will confess and
any frame maker testify to. Most
painters have definite ideas on how
their canvases should be framed, but
when it comes to ordering and paying
for them, that is another matter. AS
great an artist as Alma-Tadema al
ways designed his own frames, and
not a few New York painters design
and make their own. There is one
Boston artist who began by making his
own frames after his own designs, and
his effects were so artistic that several
of his colleagues in that city begged
him to make frames for them. He
consented to do this in few cases,
until the fame Of his work spread
abroad, and as a result he received so
many orders that he set up frame
making shop of his own.
