Eireless Stoves.

Fireless or self cooking stoves which
have been so popular in Germany for a
number of years have been recently
much improved. The early types were
simply boxes made with double walls
so as to retain the heat, and food to be
boiled or stewed was first thoroughly
heated and then inclosed in the box
for a sufficient time to cook by the re-
tanned heat. The latest apparatus Is
stated by Deputy Consul General J. w.
Dye of Berlin to be heated by stone.
This is made sufficiently hot in an oven
or over any fire, then placed in the
cooker with the steak or roast, and the
box is sealed up and left for an hour
or so until the food is thoroughly cook
ed and hot. With double boxes boil
ing, frying and roasting may all pro-
coed at once without care

Tpdioacfiou


In no other way can you SO quick
ly, so readily and so positively
stimulate the stomach to good
health as by using Milo ma. }. M.
Taylor feels so sure that this remedy
will restore to health every person
suffering with stomach troubles
that they sell it under a guarantee
to refund the money unless it cures.
This shows conclusively its superior
ity over the ordinary old-fashioned
digestives.
The underlying cause of most ner-
vous debility, headaches, sleepless-
ness and melancholy is faulty nutri-
ton, the result of a weakened stom-
ach and inactive bowels. Mi-o-na
strengthens the stomach muscles,
regulates the bowels and thus makes
digestion easy and natural.

FEATHER MAKING DEVICES.
Building Up of Plumase of All Sizes
and CoIors For Hats.

1t will interest those who have hui
manitarian scruples to know that the
gayest plumage nowadays comes from
the humble barnyard, the poulterer's
shop and sportsmen's guns. The feath-
cry products from these sources are
dyed to magnificent colors, conjured
into the vast erections that decorate
the newest shapes and are softened to
the needs of the picture hat.
1--WE have agents all over the world
said a feather maker, "who buy up
poultry and game feathers and send
them to the great centers, where they
are distributed for manufacture. Here
is an excellent instance-these mill
tary' feathers, that are the most fash
ionable, are contributed by the farm
yard chanticleer. They are dyed to al
most every color and then mounted by
hand
''This"-and the manufacturer held
up some exquisite plumage-''is hand
made entirely and is from the neck
feathers of the duck. Turkey feathers
are used the same way and dyed the
required color. Pheasant tails are pre-
ferred in their natural color, while
other game plumage is made entirely
by hand on mounts, each feather being
attached by adhesive gum. Sometimes,
indeed, plumage from six different
birds is used to secure a desired effect.
Here again." and a beautiful fiut-
tering feather was shown somewhat
milling seaweed. This is made
from the least valuable parts of the
ostrich feather twisted and mounted.
MANY devices are used, too. to Sc
cure unique color effects. This"-and
a rare feather was lifted for inspection
-"has had the color extracted. while
these'-and a vivid box of plumes was
opened-"show the latest triumph in

"There is no need for cruelty or ex-
termination. The birds that grace our

WHAT THE MIDDLEBURY
REGISTER THINKS OF
THE HYDE PARK
SAVINGS BANK

Up in "spunky Lamoille" county
resides a man who believes with all
his might in the liberal use of print
ers ink; and is frank to admit that
the success of his very large business
is due in a great measure to the fact
that he has constantly kept his bust
ness before the public through the
medium of the press. This man is
Ex-Gov. C. S. Page. His hide busi-
ness at the present time is known all
over the world; and a visit to this
enormous establishment would be
revelation to one unacquainted with
its growth in the past twenty seven
years. Hyde Park, though a pretty
little village, would not have one
fourth the publicity it now enjoys
were it not for the fact that it is the
home of a business that has grown
in the past quarter-century to such
a size that it commands attention
all over the country and beyond.
Another enterprise that was start
ed by Mr.. Page and has prospered
from its very inception is the saw
ings bank in his home town. Aside
from the fact that this increase
shows that Vermont was hardly
touched by the financial disturb
ances Of late, it is an excellent testi-
monial to the thrift of Vermonters
as a whole. The boast-and it is
a justifable one-that the funds
are invested entirely in the State,
may also be true of other banks;
but c. S. Page believes in letting the
people know about it. The people
have faith IN Mr. Pages ability,
honesty, tact and management.
They are glad that their savings are
kept at home; and it tends to beget
confidence to learn that in nineteen
years the concern has lost not one
dollar from bad notes.

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out q Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS q matter of fact, 1t Is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime Is wife murder. How
could a single. man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice Is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser ~felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could a single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he fiirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused Of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the In
stalment man OF. rob his brother-ln-
law at poker? Being prosperous. well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
burgle or fight?-Baltimore Sun.
