Annual Meeting Of Vermont Bible So

clety.
The 95th annual meeting Of the YER
mont Bible society was held in Montpe-
lier recently. The report OF II. A. Stay
ton of MorrisVille, treasurer, showed re-
ceipts the past year of $2376.36 and ex-
penditures of 81, g20.G4, leaving a balance
on hand Of $455.72 A majority Of the
members present we're opposed to the
proposition to employ Rev. 70. M. Fuller
of Burlington, field secretary Of the State
Sunday School association, as cores
ponding secretary and agent Of the Bible
society, practically Joining the work Of
the two societies. 1t was thought that
the Vermont Bible society would lose its
identity by such a change. 1t was
thought, however, that the work OF can
vassing the state for Bible and Sunday
school statistics might be combined. The
secretary OF the Vermont Bible society
was instructed 20 correspond with the
secretary OF tine State Sunday School
association to see II such joint canvass
OF the state was feasible.
These officers were elected: President.
Rev. A. L. Cooper OF Randolph; vice

the fact that Orchard admits himself
to be one OF the most fiendish, cold
blooded criminals that ever trod the
earth and his testimony alone would

true story Of one who confesses him

while IN g large proportion OF cases Lnen
products are Of the character especially
required In the United States and theiH
requirements chiefly OF the character Of
articles largely produced in the United
States. Mexico, separated from the Unit
cd States only by an imaginary line and
penetrated by railroad lines which are OPP
Grated in close conjunction with those Of
the United States, takes practically 60 per
cent of it's imports from this country and
sends G8.6 per cent Of its exports to our
markets.
Canada, also separated from the United
States only by an imaginary line and with
close railroad and other facilities for In
accommodation. takes practically 90 per
cenh Of her imports from the United
States and sends 30 per cent Of her ex-
ports 70 this country.
The Central American states draw prac-
tically one-haif OF their imports from the
United States and send to US q like pro
portion Of their exports.
The countries of the northern part Of
South America, those fronting upon the
Caribbean, also take a large share (aver-
aging about one-third) of their imports
from the United States and send an equal
" large share Of their exports to the
United States.
Cuba sends S6Ik per cent OF its exports
70 the United States and takes IS 1-3 pss
cent OF its imports from this country, the
exports In question being chiefly sugar
and tobacco, and the imports railway
supplies, lumber, manufactures Of all
Sorts foodstuffs and coal.
Brazil which supplies very large share
of our coffee and rubber, sends US II per
cent Of fits exports and takes 10 1-3 per
cent of It's imports from US, the latter
composed chiefly of manufactures and
meats
Turning to the old world, the table
shows that the percentage which our
products form Of the imports Of Euro
pean countries is much larger than the
percentage of their exports coming
here. For instance, the United King
dom takes Fl per cent of her imports
from the United States, but the share
Of her exports taken by this country Is
only T25 per cent. About IA per cent
Of Germany's imports have come from
the United States, while Of her exports
less than 10 per cent came here. Aus
trO-Hungary imported from us 1212 per
cent of her total and sent 1-3 per cent
OF her exports here. Italy's imports
and exports are about even with us,
70 per cent Of her total both ways be-
ing United States trade. The United
States sends France over 10 per cent
Of her Imports and takes 9 per cent of
her total exports.
In the orient our conditions vary
greatly. Japan takes 81 per cent of her
imports from the United States and
sends us 80 per cent of her exports.
China's trade Is about the same pro
portion, but the other way. She buys
about II per cent of her imports from
this country, and 10 per cent of her ex-
ports come direct here. India and Java
sell us about FIVE times as much as
they buy from us. Our share in Tur-
keys foreign trade is trifiing both go
ing and coming. Our healthiest trade
across the Atlantic is with countries
whose products we could perhaps gel
along without, like the British isles

Great Britain upon the armament ques-
ton and reserve the right to propose
definite limitation. japan and her
ally, England, likewise Germany. Aus
tro- Hungary and Russia, each reserves
to itself the right to take no part in or
to withdraw from consideration Of any
question unlikely to end in any prac-
teal issue. This reservation on the
part Of the great powers provides
chance for shutting out test PROPOSE
tions and some that other nations con-
slider urgent. A nation need not go on
record. Even the matter Of armament
can be left hopelessly In the air.
Commenting upon the reservation OF
rights, the Novoe Vremya Of St. Pc
tersburg expresses the belief that The
Hague meeting Of 1907 win prove Ill
timed and abortive. Ground for this
belief may be had In the way the reser-
vations were received in different
countries. For instance, a large Bee
ton of the German press thinks that
the United States does not raise the
question Of limitation OF armament In
good faith. but as to ruse to COM
pei the military powers OF Europe to
shoulder the responsibility Of defeating
It. In England the German emperor
Is charged with prompting Russia and
Austro- Hungary in the matter OF reser-
vations. II this guess IL correct, then

certain matters may be expected.

Weight of the Cnging Reptile First Attracted Attention and Poisonous Serpent Was Stoned to Death By
 Brave Lady---Snake Struck Without Warning

or arms before I could get to my feet. l lost just as little time as I could get ting far enough away to be safe.
 "After l got to my feet l did not see any need of calling to Mir. Riggs for help. l knew that the snake could not strike me if l stood far enough away. He seemed slow and sluggish, and when I threw at him so many times did not make any effort to get away, remaining coiled and keeping up a ter rife rattling.'
 Mrs. Riggs is not the only resident of the valley who has had to kill snakes during the past few days. Three have been brought to the city within the past week, two of which gave no warn ing before attempting to strike. The other coiled and struck without rattling.
 At this time of the year few rattle snakes give warning before striking. As the cold weather approaches they become slow and sluggish, going into winter quarters. They crawl into holes in the ground and remain there most of the time until the warm weather re- turns.
 The snake Mrs. Riggs killed was found close to an irrigation ditch, in which the water was being run for the first time in several months. 1t is pos sible that the water leaked into the hole in which the snake was quartered and drove him from his hiding place.

Milwaukee has a genuine musical sen sation in the person of Wilma Schaeffer a girl of nineteen, with a voic whose range is five full octaves, running to within five keys of the treble end of the piano keyboard.
 The girl is a ward of the Children $ Home Society. She was rescued few weeks ago from her fathers saloon in Oshkosh, where she had been compelled to sing at all hours for the entertain- ment of customers. The police took her away and had her committed by the courts.
 The wonderful voice has been under training for only three weeks. Already Wilma takes with ease the high F, which was the summit of Patti $ achievement, scars easily to the F, an octave higher, and then the c above that.

New Cure for Badness.

In an effort to effect rapid cures of certain skin diseases the surgeons at the New York Skin and Cancer hospital, at Nineteenth street and Second avenue, are experimenting with the leucodescent light, discovered by Dr. William Sea man Bainbridge, the eminent special ist on cancers, who is visiting surgeon at this hospital. The leucodescent light used has 500 candle power and is made intensely strong by parabolic refectors.
 Surgeons who have experimented with the light are wonderfully impressed with its power. They say it relieves pains of almost any kind, particularly those from cancers. In the treatment of acute indigestion surgeons say it has accomplished great results, benefting the patient few minutes after it has been used. Alopecia, common disease of the scalp which results in badness, has been treated successfully by the use of the leucodescent light, as has acne, skin disease.
 The surgeons are puzzled, however, in determining whether the curative pow CTS are in the rays of the light or in the heat emitted from the bulb. The light is focused on the seat of the pain, producing congestion of the skin which immediately increases the blood supply. "The combination of the light and heat" said one of the physicians yesterday, "is evidently the cause of the mysterious healing. "-New York Tribune.
