ROUTE OF The
CIRCUS PARADE
School Children Wondering If
They Are Going TO See
the Pageant

Following is the route Of the Barnum
and Bailey circus parade tomorrow
morning:
Leaving the show grounds, Lancas-
ter avenue and Union streets at 10
o'clock the circus parade will move
through Union street to Pennsylvania
avenue. thence to Delaware avenue
intersection, along Delaware avenue to
Tenth street intersection, through
Tenth stret to Market STREET down Mar
ket to Fourth street, out Fourth street
to Tatnall street, TO Front street, thence
via Front street and Lancaster ave-
nue. to the show grounds.
Are the public school children going
TO be permitted to see the circus parade
tomorrow morning, or are they not!
That is the question that is staring
brazenly into the face Of every big
eyed boy and girl who labors behind
his desk today. No action has been
taken by the Board of Education 10
give them a recess to view the Won
ders Of the greatest show on earth, -
and although there seems to be a
vague understanding that the commit
teeman OF each school is empowered
to give the respective principal per-
mission to have a short recess in order
that the children may see the parade,
there is likelihood Of some Of them
forgetting all about circus day and
the children are worrying.
Last year It happened that the COM
mitteemen didn't forget when circus
day came and the principals were given
permission by them to declare a shoit
recces during the time Of the parade
In the absence Of a meeting of the
Board of Education this course will
probably be followed this year, IL the
committee do not forget to give the
PRINCIPALS permission.

Of fashion was totally destroyed by
fire early today. The hotel was un-

blowing and the sparks were carried
to the surrounding cottages in such
volumes that the firemen were forced
to turn their attention from the hotel
to prevent the spread Of the fire.

LAID FOUR MILES
WOOD CONDUITS
Article Describing the Opera
ton in the Municipal
Engineer

The current number Of the Municipal
Journal and Engineer contains an inter
esting article by T. chalkley Hatton, OF
this city. describing the laying OF four
miles OF wood pipe conduit for the du-
Pont Powder Company at Carney's Point,
N. ]. The pipe was laid the entire dis
tance Of four miles without a grade. The
article is OF more than ordinary interest
as the use Of wood pipe oonduits Is becom-
ing quite extensive. The conduit is con
structed with slaves. on the principle OF
barrel making. steel pipe was used at
grade crossings.
According to Mr.. Hatton. the laying Of
wood conduit in the place OF cast iron
and steele pipe will become an important
economic factor to engin9ers. In this re-
spect, he says:
''Thus considering only the actual cost
of the pipe delivered on board cars at
Carney's Point. the use Of wood pipe
meant a saving Of ss7,Sio over the cost OF
cast iron pipe. and Sis,SiO over the cost Of
steel.
From the start OF the work until COM
pletion the wood pipe grew in favor win
everyone connected with the work, and
with no one more than with the writer,
who. early in the work, appreciated the
ease and accuracy with which the pipe
could be built and the obstacles which
arose to make the laying OF any othei
kind OF pipe almost impossible; and he
firmly believes that the machine made
wood pipe. Of the character supplied upon
this work. has a future place in the con-
struction of water works and the trans
porting Of water which engineers and
water works superintendents would do

PENALTIES OF GREAT PLACE.
Thrice Servants Those Who Have
Risen TO High Estate.

Men in great place are thrice SER
vants-servants OF the sovereign or
state, servants of fame, and servants
of business: so as they have no free
dom neither in their persons, nor in
their actions, nor in their times. II Is
a strange desire to seek power, and
to lose liberty, or to seek power over
others and to lose power over a mans
self. The rising unto place is labori-
Gus, and by pains men come to greater
pains, and II Is sometimes base and
by indignities men come to dignities.
The standing is slippery and the re-
greet is either downfall or at least
an eclipse. which is a melancholy
thing. Cum non sis qui fueris. non
esse cur wells vivere" (Since you
are not what you were, there is no
reason why you should wish to live.)
Nay, retire-men cannot when they
would, neither will they when 1t were
reason; but are impatient of private
ness even in age and sickness which
requires the shadow; like old towns
men, that will be still sitting at their
street door, though thereby they offer
age to scorn.-From Lord Bacon's
Essay. "Of Great Place"

Save This Anyway.

Here is simple homemade mixture as
given by an eminent authority on kidney
diseases, WHO makes the statement in a
New York daily newspaper that it will
relieve almost any case of kidney trouble
if taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease. He states that such symptoms as
lame back, pain in the side, frequent de-
sire to urinate, especially at night; pain
full and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take tsapoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
well-known- druggist here in-town is
authority that these ingredients are all
harmless and easily mixed at home by
shaking we'll in bottle. This mixture
has peculiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire kidney and urinary
structure, and often overcomes the W orst
forms of rheumatism in just a little while.
This mixture is said to remove all blood
disorders and cure the rheumatism by
forcing the kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood and system all uric acid
and foul, decomposed waste matter, which
cause these Affections. Try it if you
aren't well. Save the prescription.

EFFECTS OF THE FOG.
Even Blind Men Lose Their Way
The Ground sounds Different"

Nothing has such a bewildering ef-
feet as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about in
it with any certainty. says Chums.
Birds are entirely confused by it.
Tame pigeons remain all day motion
less and half-asleep, huddled up, eth
er in or just outside their houses.
Chickens remain motionless for hours
during heavy fogs. No bird sings or
utters call. perhaps because it fears
to betray its whereabouts to an I'M
seen foe. During one very thick fog
blind man was found wandering
about a certain district of London.
This man was in the habit of carrying
notes and parcels. and had scarcely
ever lost his way before. Asked why
he had gone astray, for he was quite
blind, and it was supposed that wealth
er would have made no difference, he
said that in fog the ground sounded
quite differently"

GOOD TEST FOR NICOTINE.
Experiments That May Be Of Interest
to Smokers.

Anyone who wishes to find out
how much nicotine he might take into
his system by smoking can easily get
an idea by very simple experiment.
says an old smoker, who is rarely
seen in public or private without a
cigar in his mouth. Puff briskly
until the cigar smoke is clear white
then draw big mouthful, double
your handkerchief, place it over your
lips and blow out the smoke violently
as though you we're whistling. Look
at your handkerchief and you will
see deep brown stain almost as big
as a dime on the white linen. That
is the nicotine and other oils distilled
from the tobacco during burning.
Now, of course, l don't mean to say
that regular smoker would absorb
all this oil into his system. Most
of 1t passes away with the smoke. as
shown by the brown deposit on the
handkerchief, but still enough re
mains to affect the nerves, as any
inexperienced smoker can testify af-
ter his first attempts to become &C
customed to the weed. Whether the
nicotine hurts anybody who is used
to 1t Is a question for the doctors"

A Strong Savings stitution.

The strength of Savings Bank de-
Ponds not alone on the size of its deposits
nor the number of its depositors. II de-
ponds rather upon the kind of securities
in which the management invest their
funds and the care with which these Sc
curities are looked after. The Dandy
Mirror evidently thinks these conditions
are well met in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank. 1t ssys:-
Beginning July list, the LamoiIie Coun-
~ Savings Bank and Trust Co. of Hyde
Park, VT, will pay four per cent interest
on deposits remaining in its care for a
year or more. This is particularly
strong savings institution, and during its
existence has invested the money of its
depositors wholly in the state and has
never lost dollar. Hon. Carroll s.
Page, one of the most able business men
in Vermont, and the states honored ex
governor, is president of the bank-the
kind of a president who knows at all
times how the affairs OF the bank are be-
ing conducted, and is ever active in pro-
noting its interests and protecting its de-
positors against possible loss.

The Kind Of Savings Bank for Yer

The Brandon Union thinks that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and Trust
company typifies the kind OF Bank which
Vermonters should be interested in. II
says
On July IL, the assets of the Hyde Park
Bank passed the 100000 mark. Bear
in mind that this is an all Vermont insti-
tuition, not dollar Of its capital is or ever
has been invested out of Vermont, and it
holds the enviable record of never having
lost a dollar by poor note. An institu-
tion of this kind is, of course, OF great
value and convenience to Vermont and
Vermonters. n an individual or corpora
ton has assets and needs cash they can
get it, and at a low rate. The average
deposition wants his money where 1t is alb
solutely safe and also where he can get it
on call.
This Bank pays per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits OF 200 or
more.
