New 100000 Gallon WOrlhing-
ton Pump Given a Severe
Trial Yesterday Afternoon.
ANOTHER TEST NEXT WEEK.
Test Made In Presence of Water
Board Engineers and Chief Engi-
neers of Raritan Copper Works
and American Smelling & Refin-
ing Plant, Who Represented the
City, and Engineer of Company.

In the presence of Chief Engineers
Jacob Ludwig, of the Raritan Copper
Works, and Thomas Grieve, Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining Company,
who represented the city, and Chief
Tester Allerton, of the Henry r,
Worthington Company the 5000
000-gallon Worthington high-duty
pump was given severe three-hour
test yesterday afternoon.
Engineer Samuel J. Mason, of the
water board, had arranged the test
previously, and it was largely due
to his efforts that the trial was made
without Il hitcn.
The pump was tested from 2
o'clock until 5 o'clock, and as some
thing went wrong with the electric
lights at that time further efforts to
continue the test were useless. The
pump ran in excellent condition, and
although the test is not yet complete
it is expected that the pump will
prove its efficiency.
Besides Engineers Ludwig, Mason,
Grieve and Cottrell, President Con
very, of the water board, Superin-
tendent Burns, Assistant Superin-
tendent Hardiman, and number of
others, were present during the test.
The other test will probably be
made next week.

Alexander 7. Stewart was the first
merchant prince" Today we have any
number of merchant princes. even
kings, and If Stewart We're alive he
would find very lively competition.
But he had some rules that might be
copied by the merchants who have in
some directions followed him. One of
his rules was this: "Never praise an
article. Ask the customer what is de-
sired and il you have 1t offer ii with
out comment. Name the price. If the
customer is not pleased allow him or
her to depart and make no comment.
The article must stand on its own
merits. 1t is the customers privilege
20 buy or to decline to buy."-New

GET WHAT YOU WANT
The Just as Good Kind Never
Paws.

If there is ole thing more than an
other that should aggravate self-re-
speeding person, it is to be told that the
article they ask for at their druggists is
not to be had, but that they can have
something lust as good or better" The
principal reason for such attempts at
substitution is either the desire of the
storekeeper to sell something on which
he can make more money, or he hasn't
the goods asked for, and wants to make
a sale of something in its place.
Every reader of this paper should bear
in mind when asking for Vinol, the
modern cod liver oil preparation. that it
is for sale in Middlebury at our store,
only, and that it can always be had
when asked for.
The reason Vinol Is so far superior to
old fashioned cod liver oil ami emulsions
is because it is made by scientific. ex-
tractive and concentrating process from
fresh Gods livers, combining with peptO-
nate of iron all the medicinal, healing
and body building elements of cod liver
oil, but no oil.
AS body builder and strength creator
for old people. delicate children, weak,
rundown persons, after sickness, and
for Chronic Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
and all throat and lung troubles. Vinol
is unexcelled.
No one wants an old fashioned cod
liver oil preparation or emulsion after
once tasting delicious Vinol. Try it. If
it fails to benefit we will return your
money. milford r. Burt, Druggist,

CANADA'S CHRISTMAS STAMP.
Tho Only Known Postal Memorial of
the December Holiday.

Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was
postage stamp of the value of cents.
On Christmas, 1898, Great Britain pre-
sented to all her thirty-seven colonies
Christmas gift in the form of two
cent letter postage in place of the rate
of ) cents. which for decades had ex-
listed.
In honor of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning 1898, q
Christmas postage stamp, the only
stamp of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects 1t is unique
among all postage stamps.
1t was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed a map Of the world
with the possessions Of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet The
oceans appeared in blush green and
the frame of the design in black.
Across the top was the inscription
Canada Postag with a crown rest
ing on laurel leaves tucked in between
the words. At the extreme lower part
of the design is the declaration, I'VE
hold a vaster empire than has BEEN"
above this. Xmas. $685. and figure
49," in each lower corner
1t Is worthy of note that this Cana
dian stamp was printed by a bank
note company in the United States. 1t
marked new epoch in stamp produc-
ton, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon. but up to
that time no country had ever attempt
ed three color stamp.
This Christmas stamp was probably
the most expensive ever issued, cost
ing the Canadian government four
times as much as the ordinary single
color stamp. Although issued on Christ
mas, 1898. the stamps availability Tor
postage uses is unlimited.-New York
