THE SCHOONER.
Where the Fore and After Beats the
Square Riq1er.

Square bigger.
The aSility of the schooner to meet
the requirements OF present day con.
liitions, while the square riggers have
been found wanting, can be readily
understood when we take into consid-
GRAFTON the numerous advantages pos
sessed by the fore and aft rig that are
essential to the ideal carrier.
Operating expense, that prime factor
In all transportation problems Is here
reduced to a minimum for there is no
motive power so cheap as the free
winds of heaven and no other craft SO
well adapted to utilize and control this
force. The sails are of handy form
and can be readily handled from the
deck by a handful of men or with
steam power II desired. The schooner
can sail several points nearer the eye
Of the wind than a square rigger Is
able to do.
Built on the old clipper model, they
sail like witches and owing to their
peculiar constructions can be readily
loaded and discharged. They require
but little ballast and having no heavy
up udiHI'SI NdH, IL HeCcSSuLy W lue
trade, take on immense deck loads
In the lumber traffic of the Pacific
northwest we find these vessels leav-
ing port with huge deck loads tower
ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail.
Occasionally they get caught in a blow
and have to sacrifice portion of the
deck load, but where one meets such
mishap dozens reach their designa-
lions safely and land their cargoes in
tact.-James G. McCurdy in Outing

CroutonS.

To cut bread into dice before frying,
II it is to be used as croutons, is not
the most approved method. When done
In this way it becomes very hard and
indgestible. The bread should rather
ed out in circles little larger than a
quarter or cut into squares of about
the same size or in oblOngs two inches
long and over one-half inch thick.
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in the frying
basket are the most palatable.

WE'VE RIDGE.
DEATH OF MRS. ELwIN MARTIN

Mrs. Edwin Martin. who had been
seriously i'll the past four weeks, passed
away Monday of last week From the
first she felt that her time here was short,
and with the forethought for others
which she has always shown in her life
work, she made all preparations for her
funeral, selecting her pastor, singers and
bearers and in all ways trying to lessen
the burden of her bereaved ones
Naturally of a very strong constitution
when a girl at home she assisted her
father greatly in his work, and after her
marriage she helped to bear the burden
of work and has truly been a helpmate to
her husband. She was a member of the
church here, the Mite society and of the
Randolph grange.
With all of her work at home, she
always found time to help those who
were sick or in any way in need of help,
and in the community she will be greatly
missed, but not so much as in the home,
where she is so much needed.
She left besides her husband, two little
girls, mother, sister, brother, mother
in-law, who has shared her sons home,
and many other relatives and friends to
mourn her loss.
The funeral was held at the house last
week Wednesday, where she lay amid
a profusion of flowers given by the
church, the grange and by loving friends.
Rev. Fraser Metzger OBLIGATED, with
prayer by Rev. C. H. Grosvenor. The
burial was in the East Braintree GENE
terry beside her father. She was 40 years
of age and had been married about IL
years.

which had the effect of keeping him
out of the large games in the smoking

landing one of his bridge party, none
of whom knew that he was a profess
slonal with bad record. proposed
changing the game to poker It's
bad practice" said the card sharp, ito
play poker with strangers. There's too
much risk, but it's all right in this
case" The others said there was no
risk if a man had good sense and kept
his eyes open. The deal fell to the pro-
fessional. and when cards had been
drawn by each man he said: Now
I'll show you how much you know.
Mr.. a, you have the winning hand.
Mr.. b. your three queens look good,
but what show have they against Mr..

Elephants.

People who really know nothing
about it used to say that elephants
never lie down to sleep, This is not
true at all, says one writer. They have
been known to stand for twelve
months without lying down to sleep.
This is regarded as want of confidence
in their keepers and Of longing to re-
gain their liberty, for when they are
perfectly at ease and reconciled to
their fate they will lie down on their
sides and sleep peacefully.

Profita BILE Dairying.

The Vermont Farm Machine Company
of Bellows Falls, Vermont, will shortly
issue another edition of its very interest
ing booklet, How One Farmer Made
$500 so Clear Profit from Seven Cows in
One Year" The first issue of 125, 900 is
entirely exhausted, and a second edition
of 100000 is in course of preparation.
The object of this little book is to relate
the unusually successfully experience of
Mr.. S. w. Coleman, of Sedalia Mo-, with
seven cows on a ten acre farm. Mr..
Coleman says:
Il use a No. 6 U. S. Separator, and
will say right here, in my Judgement, it
is the grandest separator in use. 1t is
easily operated, both by hand or the
engine, and if the engine should stop we
can take hold of the crank, and finish
skimming without stopping. And again,
we don't have oil all over the house as l
have seen from other makes-everything
is as clean around the machine, as though
there had never been any milk or oil
about.
My total receipts for one year
were, 81 ,651 80
The expense of feeding my
stock was, $1,000
Which leaves profit of, $S32.
Mr.. Coleman has taken the First But.
ter Premium at his State Fair five times
in six years, with scores averaging 96i
to 97t.
The Vermont Farm Machine Company
will cheerfully send the Booklet to any
person who write them about it.
