look onus From the Lord.

"Col" Brown was at one time well
known in Worcester, where he lived
number OF years, He was a rough,
happy go lucky sort of fellow, bombastic
to a degree, brought up in the country
and never i'm his life inside a school.
To him education was a needless thing,
He lost no opportunity TO air his views
and in certain circles made himself
something of bore.
One day he was boasting louder than
usual of his lack of education, and say

enough money to see him safely through
life that he was self-made, and BANKED
proud of it, when a Methodist minister
who was present looked up and said,
mildly: Yes, Brother Brown, when you
did that you relieved the Lord Of a great
responsibility"

Bone and Meat for poultry

The development of the poultry and
egg business is something simply wonder
full. The fact is coming to be known that
if poultry can have clean, warm, well
ventilated home, with plenty Of sunshine
and the right kind of food, they will
usually lay. During the extremely cold
months 1t is very essential that they have
the stimulating, strength giving nourish-
ment afforded by green cut bone. Car
roll S. Page of Hyde Park, Vermont, is
probably the largest producer of green
cut bone and meat in the United STATES
and he will send a 200 pound barrel to
any one on receipt of $3.50 and will IRE
pay the frelghts TO any railroad station
in New England or the Middle states.

Basket Ball Teams viii Play in keene,

4 series of three games TO decide the
basket ball championship of the world

Newport n. H. and Gloversville, n. Y,
teams. The first contest will take place
Tuesday night in Springfield Vt. the
second Wednesday night I'm Keene and
the third Thursday night in Newport
The Newport aggregation has played
IT, games this season without meeting a

port had one tie game, against Turner's

The Newport team will include Doyle.

A special train will probably run all the
way from Newport to Keene to bring the

while admiring Newport and hoping that
Newport will win, are of the opinion that

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
sophomores %, Putney High School 4.

In a rough and tumble game of basket
ball last Monday night the consolidated
freshman-sophomore team defeated the
Putney high school team by the score
2S-4. From the start the sophs had the
best of the argument. The Brattleboro
boys were exceedingly rough and re-
peatedly played horse, led by Blood, who
threw his man several times, for which
fouls should have been called. but the
referee seemed loath to blow his whls

Training German Housewives.

The careful and elaborate training given German girls of the better. classes tand nobility and aristocrncy Is not meant ex- clusively by that term Is something to cause the statesmen in the United states to pause and ponder. Undoubtedly the German girls are receiving more scientific handling during their educational period than those of any other nation. The Ger mans have approached this important problem of modern progress from a most intelligent standpoint.
 These girls usually range between six teen aud twenty-twO years of age and their last three years are understood to be in preparation for marriage. The Ger mans figured that the vast majority of happy and therefore successful women were married women In Germany and elsewhere the most important economic and human duties of women were as wives first and afterwards as intelligent care ful trainers of the future workers and thinkers of the nation.
 Most of the girls are splendid must clans. They speak English and French as well as German. They are given full course in social etiquette otherwise known as the foundation for good mnu- ners and a pleasing appearance calcu- lated to make a good first impression They study Ibsen and his plays. and other writings carefully and under level headed instructors Shakespeare they also read carefully and intelljgently. In needle work they are forced to become practical workers and are taught to mend and dye various materials so that they can get the most out of, such wearing apparel as their future husbands may be able to af ford.
