FOREST NURSERY HEARING.

The Farmers Legislative League this
evening discussed the Senate Srl whicn
appropriatos $500 year for five years TO
establish nursery of forest seedlings at
the Agricultural Experiment station at
Burlington.
Senator Van Patten spoke in favor OF
the bill He believed It is directly in the
interest OF the farmers and owners of
woodland In Vermont. There is no othor
way he said in which such small
amount Of money can be expended than
will so directly help the farming interests
OF Vermont. 1t is a start in the right il
rection. The cost Of this nursery will lie
very small as the experiment station will
give the use of the land without cost and
VIII furnish skilled supervision. The only
expense to the State will be for the seed
lings to make a start and the manual ia
Dor to set them out.
Ernest Hitchcock OF i'ittsford, State
commissioner of forestry, strongly fav-
ored tho bill. He said two-thirds of the
territory Of Vermont is to-day practically
wor,iless except for the purpose of tim
ber raising. Mr.. Hitchcock dwelt partic-
ularly upon the fact that the remaining
forests of the State are being cut off and
nothing Is being done to replace them.
Prof. H. X. Jones of the University of
Vermont told of his experience in trans
forest seedlings. lie wished %
make it plain that if this bill becomes "A
law the agricultural experiment station
at Burlington will not he benefited hnan-
cially but he considered the bill an ex-
tremely important ono for the State. Its
IDEAS are practical and after a few years
the State Will begin to get back the
money it has paid out in starting this
nursery. An interesting feature of the
talk by Professor Jones was his readiness
10 answer the many questions that were
asked showing his perfect familiarity
with the subject.

its family. The condition of the Home
is in most respects satisfactory so far as
Its limited capacity will allow. but the
long waiting list of anxious and needy
ones Is n trial to the feelings of those
most nearly concerned in It's welfare,
and they await with anticipa tion the day
when enlarged quarters shall be possible.
The visitors will hold their annual re-
ception at the Home on the afternoon of
New Years day. when all friends of the
institution will be gladly welcomed
For the first time since it's opening, the
garden of the Home has failed to supply
apples for its use. and contributions of
that fruit would be most acceptable.

IN FAVOR or SEEMING.

Mr.. Soule of Alburgh led the discus
sion in favor Of licensing seinlng in Lake
Champlan and Mlssisquo bay. He de-
claTed that the Canadian government
keeps up this practice clear up to the
imaginary water lire that divides YER
mont and Canada, ana that all promises
that this thing should be stopped have not
been kept. The bill in question provides
that when the Canadians stop seining
in Missisquoi bay the provisions of the
bill shall be imperative. MIR. Soule spoke
for three quarters Of an hour in favor
of this bill. He was supported by Mr.
Dewart of ST. Adams, Mr.. Kicker Of
Groton, Mr.. Wallace of Waitsfeld. and
Mr.. Scott CT Bakersfield. Mr. Evarts
OF Windsor explained the action of the
joint committee on game and fisheries
in reporting this bill adversely. More
persons appeared before the committee
who We're opposed to II than those who
were in rs favor, but the principal rea-
son Cor rendering an adverse report was
that n treaty is now pending between
Great BriNan and the C.iited States
which will finally dispose of this aues-
tion. The fcrvcnt appeal of Mr.. Soule
to give us an equal chance with the
Canucks had its effect, the bill was or

sition, and the House went home to din

Fresh Wnter Perrls.

The river mussel and some other fresh water bivalves often contain beautiful pearls. In SaZony the trade h these dates from 1910 and a code of rules to regulate 1t. The fish are placed In prepared beds and examined every five years. From two to ten pearls arc yielded by each. 4 similar and prOfta- ble pearl cultivation Is carried on in Sweden and in other parts of Europe. The fact that grains of sand and other foreign substances that lntrude within the shells are covered In course of time with layers of pearl has been tGken advantage of by the willy Chinese Opening the shells of suitable bivalyes and holding them open with wooden wedges. they insert small objects of wood, stone or metal and restore the shelldsh uninjured to their beds. Irri- tated by these pieces, the mOllusks soon cover them with coatings of mOther-of- pearl of bright purity and luster and thus convert them into articles of con siderable commercial Yalue.-London Globe.

Gave the Sun Termination 10 Set.


 "One of the odd things that I saw in R trip up the east coast of Africa was the permission given each day by one of the kings. for the sun to set" said a man who made trip to South Africa. At one of the ports where we stopped the soldiers were drawn up on the pa rade ground before the royal palace aB the sun was setting. With pomp and ceremony the ruler advanced to tho front of the balcony on the second floor and maiestically waved his hand to- ward the sun.
 "One of his subjects explained to mo that it was the royal sanction for ths sun to set. When asked as to whether the ruler gave his permission for the sun to rise in the morning the man re piled that the sun must always rise be- fore the ruler, but that 1t could never go down unless the royal hand waved approval. The king who did this was the sultan of Zanzibar.
 q hardly believe that he himself was sincere in thinking his permission nec- essary, for he was educated for four years at Harrow college In England, but the performance was to increase the belief among the subjects In his d. vine origin. ."-Aiilwaukee Sentinel.
