SEND FARM LABoRERs TO YER
MONT.

In applying to the executives Of the
various states for information al to the
kinds Of employment, in which there Is
d shortage Of laborers, the national govs
eminent has instituted movement
which ought to solve the problem of i'm
migration in large measure. The ques-
tions asked include, Where is the de-
mand for workmen most urgent ~
'sWhat class Of labor ii needed Y what
nationalities or races would be pre-
ferred!" and IF strikes, lockouts or
other differences exist, state fully the
cause OF the same
When Governor Proctor Of Vermont
answers the interrogations, we expect
that the plea which he will advance will
be for an influx Of farm laborers, chiefly
those from the north Of Europe. There
seems to be plenty of workmen in
most every other branch of activity Of
any magnitude here in Vermont, but the
farmer has hard time finding compe-
tent, reliable men to assist him in rails
ing his crops. Vermont needs farm lab
orers today as she has not needed them
for years. This is due to the fact that
The members of this class of workers
have turned, for various reasons, to the
so.called skillal occupations. leaving
their places either vacant or poorly Al
led. We must depend on the newcomers
to fll the vacanies. Vermont can stow
away quite a number of these immi.
grants, and Governor Proctor will prob
ably so notify the bureau of immigrants.

Childhood incident Of the Author Of

An interesting anecdote Of the youth
Of John Davy, who composed the fa-
nous song The Bay Of Biscay," shows
how decided and precocious was this
musicians aptitude for the art lie ulti-
mately practiced with artistic if not
financial success. John Davy was born
near Exeter in 1765. At the age Of six
he evinced passion for music, which
he sought every means Of gratifying
He was in want Of musical instru-
ment and determined to provide him
self with one Of however rough a ma
ture. So from neighboring smithy,
he purloined twenty to thirty horse
shoes. From these he selected as many
as formed n complete octave and, hav-
ing suspended them in an upper room.
amused himself by initiating upon
them the chimes Of the neighboring
church Of Creditor.
BY these and other means he obtain
cd knowledge Of music which some
thirty years later enabled him to pro
duce many dramatic pieces and such
songs az "Just Like Love- '.The Death
Of the Smuggler' aud THE Bay Of
Blscay." only the last Of which has re-
mained popular.
After twenty years. work in London
Davy died in st. Martins lane in 1924.

elowerpots.

All new fowerpots require to be
soaked in water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hang well to the sides Of gar
den pots unless SO treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. Let
any one try to put plant with fresh
soil into a pot which has been used
before and left unwashed. and he will
find in few days. when the soil be-
gins to dry. that 1t leaves space and
does not adhere as 1t should to the
sides Of 1t. No plant can possibly
flourish under such circumstances. The
roots Of a plant draw to the sides of a
pot naturally in search Of moisture,
and growth Of course Is checked il Il
current of air is allowed to pass be-
tween them and the sides. Some plants
exhibit this tendency in such remark
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except network on the outside

Captain John Smith OF Willoughby,

the success Of the first English perma-

directly due. Though only twenty six
when the expedition sailed with him
on board, he Ind already enjoyed such
succession Of thrilling experiences as
was the lot Of few men even in the ad-
venturous age of Elizabeth. At the age
OF sixteen he had entered on military
career In France and the Low Countries
In 1000 he sought service against the
Turks, who were then at the height of
their power and had only lately ceased
to threaten Vienna itself. On the wav
to the east he was thrown overheard
as Huguenot and was rescued by a
pirate. from whom his incxhaustible
resourcefulness enabled him to escape
after time. He then entered the Aus
trian service and soon signalized him.

One Of these, the defeat Of three Turk.

him his well known coat Of arms,

the Turks and owed his escape to the
interest with which he inspired a Turk

Hueo's SHORT MEMORY.
Told Different Versions Of . Story on
Three Occasions.

The Revue Hebdomadaire publishes
an anecdote on Victor Hugo which by
many will be considered very charac-
teristic. Right after Napoleon HIS
coup d'etat Victor Hugo and School
cher, we'll known politician OF that
period, fed together from Paris. \

Schoelchcr at his table in Brussels. the
poet said: "Yes, my dear friend, you
can boast of having once scared me
very much had no doubt but that
we were done for" Turning to the
other guests, he explained:
I'VE We're on the way to the North

hats drawn deep over our forcheads

got all caution and, leaning out of the
window, shouted, Down with Caesar!'
Instantly l caught hold of him and
closed his mouth with my hand. One
word more and we should have bcen
done for"
Two years later Schoelcher visited
his friend Hugo i'm Guernsey. At dim
ner again the coup d'etat was discuss

tions of times past. do you still recol-

Several years lapsed, and again
Schoelcl,er was guest in Hugo's
house. Conversation turned to civic
courage and the like. We'll, my dear
Schoelchcr" Hugo said to his friend

MAN AND HIS HAT.
They Are Firmly Bound Together b,
tho Red Tape Of Society.

There are things, ii is Il comfort to
know, which even a man cannot do.
and man is supposed to bc able to do
almost anything Now, a novelist may
put his hcroine's hat on her head at
any angle he chooses 1t is one of the
few privileges of wOmanhOod- and
leave her not Il bit less charming or
dignifcd, but defy him to put his
Aero's hat Mt a rowdy angle over his
ear at n crucial point in his career and
leave him still heroic. The Achilles
heel of Il man is his hat! He must
guard that AS lie does his reputation,
for it Is MT once his strength and his
weakness.
1t would hurt AN archbishop-and an
archbishop necessarily stands for all
that is good and great-lcss In the eyes
of the public to commit a crime than
to wear his hat on the back of his
sacred head real back and SO exhibit
himself to his distressed diocese He
may have all the known virtues and
many that are not known but even an
archbishop cannot with impunity defy
convention. Still, if he is so inclined,
why should not good and great man
wear his hat over bis nose without
creating unfasorablc comment: Tie
fact is he cannot lie Is ruled by CON
yention, and convention is the red tape

The cast iron laws OF fashion, which
is only another name for convention,

TIDES Of the OCEAN.

Restless Waters,

or all the operations of nature in
the whole world there are none more
regular in their courses than the tides
Of the ocean. So perfect is their ac-
tion and SO constant are they in their
ebb and flow tha. the big maritime
governments arc able to figure out
the height of each and every tide for
every day and night more than year
In advance for any part of the earths
surface.
In most places the tides run about
four to the twenty-four hours, two be-
Ing flood, when the water sweeps in
from the sea and makes what is known
as high water, all two being cbb
when 1t sweeps back to the ocean, leav-
ing low water.
Each of these tides lasts about six

often happens that the tide when it

sEecHeR's ONLY POEM.
The Verses Were Always Kept Sacred
BY Mrs. 0eeeher.

1t was related by Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher that during their courtship Mr..
Beecher once dropped into poetry"
and wrote few lines Of verse teeming
with affection for his sweetheart. But
the verses were always kept sacred by
Mrs. Beechcr, and nothing could win
them from her. One day Mr.. and Mrs.
Beecher were In the Office OF Robert
Bonner, the publisher.
why don't you write poem, Beech.
er?" said Mr.. Bonner.
"He did once," said Mrs. Beecher.
"Recite 1t for me, won't you, Mrs.
Beecher:"
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she knew
that he meant silence.
"Come." said Mr.. Bonner, .I'll give
you 5000 IL you will recite that poem
to me-" addressing Mrs. Beecher.
why, 1t ram quickly said Mrs.
Beecher.
"Eunice" simply said Mr.. Beecher.
And. although Robert Bonner after
ward offered to double the sum first
offered. he never got the poem FROM
Mrs. Beecher. It had been hidden
away by Mrs. Beecher and cherished
as one Of the dearest treasures her
husband left her.

A CURIOSITY OF LuNAcY.
periodicity of Mania BY Which the
Patient Lives Three Lives.

There is special form of mental dis
ease, first described In France. whose
definite character is given 10 1t by its
periodicity, and hence ii IL called folie
clrculaire. In it there are three sections
Of the mental circle that the patient
moves lnylz, elevation, depression
and sanity and in this round he
spends his life, passing out Of one into
the other. for it Is. when fully cstab
llshel, very lncurable disease.
The patient takes an attack OF mania
during which he Is joyous, restless,
troublesome extravagant and often
vicious He eats voraciously. sleeps
little and never seems to tire His
temperature is degree or 30 above
the normal, his eye is bright and glis
tening, he is cnamorcd Of the other sex,
he shows diminished self control and
no common sense
This lasts for a few weeks, or few
months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually aud some
times rather suddenly into II condition
Of depression, during which he is slug
gish. dull, looking differently, dressing
differently, eating differently. fearful,
unreliant and scdentary In habits.
This state will last a few weeks or
months, and the patient will brighten
up into what seems recovery and Is to
all intcnts and purposes i'm his normal
state. This again lasts for few
weeks OF months, and he gradually
gets morbtlly elevated You find he Is

1866, month which has gone into
astronomical annals as ''the month

January and March each had two full

in a leading astronomical journal uses
the following language in describing
It: "Do you realize what a rare thing
