ernor was made president ex-officio,
with r. e. McCuen, the well known
publisher of Vergennes, as secretary,
and the Hon. G. s. Page, now United
States Senator, as chairman of the
executive committee. The purpose
of the association was to advertise
and develop the resources of the
State, and it was proposed to employ
secretary all the year, who would
give his time to the work.
The Legislature was induced after
a hard struggle to make an appropri-
alton of $1,000 to aid the society, and
it was intended to supplement that
amount with private contributions,
but Governor Proctor had some
doubts of the authority of that body
to take such action, and killed the
bill by pocket Veto That ended the
project, and no meeting of the soci-
ETY. has been held since.
So the two main causes why Yer
mont is not better known as a vaca-
ton State are the Indifference of the
farmers, resulting in neglect on the
part of the Legislature and State Off
Gals, and lack of private enterprise
that results in scarcity of proper
hotel accommodations.
Climate and scenery are of the fin
est Opportunities for boating, bath
ing, fishing, golf tennis, and automo-
billing are unsurpassed and the only
reason why people do not come to the
State to enjoy these advantages is be-
cause the people do not care enough
about having them come to tell them
about the State and it's advantages.

of ways. But when technical terms
and learned treatises are all simmer
ed down they may be confined within
a few simple rules that, if carefully
followed out, are most effectual when
sleep is desired.
In the first place, the sleeping room
should be away from noise. 1t should
be an airy room, and one in which
there is but little furniture and few
rugs. 1t should have neither artifi-
cial light, flowers, nor animals, and
should be well ventilated, as much
air being admitted in winter as dur
ing the summer months.
The bed should be slightly inclinei
from head to foot, and moderately
hard mattress is desirable. If any
pillow at all is used it should be a
thin one. The heavy, downy affairs
into which the head sinks are unde-
sirable for more reasons than one.
They tend toward making a person
round shouldered, and the position
they give to the neck interferes with
circulation.
There is much diversity of opinion
as to whether one should or should
not eat before going to bed. Usually
It is better to retire an hour or so
after eating. 1t is never wise, how
ever, to attempt to sleep when hun
cry In a case of this kind crack
er and a cup of warm milk are de-
sirable.
The limbs should always be out
stretched-never cramped or folded,
and one should sleep on the right
side. Sleeping on the back is apt to
produce nightmare, and sleeping on
the left side stops digestion and is
bad for the heart. 1t is not good for
the lungs to sleep ON ones stomach.
| Often a cold shower bath followed
by vigorous rub down with a Turk
ish towel will induce sleep when a
person is inclined toward insomnia.

Curtains.

The past year has brought about a
complete change in curtain arrange
ments and draperies are again in
style. You will find sheer lace cur
tains at the windows, but they reach
only to the window sill, and both thin
and heavy overcurtains are placed
on separate rods. The inner curtains
are sheer, possibly cross-barred or
having a simple conventional pattern
of stripes or set figures. The edges
are often slightly notched, though
sometimes quite plain. In a colonial
house the curtains should be plain
and the velour hangings should be a
shade darker than the wall paper. If
the woodwork is white, and the pa

The Eye.

Persons who use their eyes con-
stantly should observe some simple
rules for prevented strains. For in
stance, at the end of a long day in an
office, if the optics are bathed with a
cooling application, the brightness as
well as sight may be maintained For
such a bath boracic acid is invalu-
able. So is a weak solution of salt.
Camphor water will draw out a
smarting pain many times.
Five cents worth of boracic acid
WI last four weeks, and the powder
may be carried with little trouble.
To use as much as might go on the
end of small penknife is put into
two tablespoonful of water The
powder floats for some time in tiny
Jumps, but later is absorbed and dis
appears.
If one has an eyeglass the liquie-
fled borax is poured into it. This
glass, which is an oval cup, so shaped
that it goes over the eye, close
against the skin, is held up, the head
bent until the eye is over the liquid,
and then the lid is opened and closed
in the bath. There will be no smart
ing sensation, and the under part of
the lids and the ball are flushed with
a cooling application that will draw
out any slight Inflammation.
The bath may last for a minute
washing first one eye and then the
other before returning to give the
first another plunge. The same liquid
may be used more than once, but sc
kcheap is it that there can be no hest.
tation in throwing it away. No two
persons should ever use the same So
luton, for serious eye disease may
be transmitted in this way. If the
yes ache during the day this treat
ment which takes but a moment tt
apply, will relieve them.
Camphor water, being a little
stronger, is used nurH Eparingly ant
| is likely to cause slight smarting
| Nevertheless it is a gentle tonic thai
does no harm. To use "a couple o.
drops are put into the eyes by means
of machine dropper. This may be
done two or three times a day wher
there is such Inflammation. Boracit

the beneficial properties.
Salt and water is an old fashioned
remedy which should be used fire
1 quently. This mixture should b,
strong enough to cause the meres
suggestion of a smart, but it mus
not be painful. If one has no eye cuI
any small cup or glass may be sub
stituted and the eye winked in tn,
bath. Done morning and night, THU
is strengthening in effect.
Cloths wrung out in hot water ant
laid over the eyes form one of tn,
best methods of treatment for infiam
ed eyes. To take this application on,
must lie down, so the fermentation
may be placed on as hot as can b.
borne, changing them frequently -

HAWAII ROAD CONTRACT.

Since the opening of the second call
for bids for work on the new Honolii
road two contracts have been awarded
to John T. Brown. The first calls for
the completion of 1896 feet of subgrade,
for $2,4S1. rs, and in addition to this
the contractor agrees to complete the
rest of the sections according to the
figures submitted, as soon as funds are
available. The second contract is
for the subgrading or 600 feet of road
for the sum of $3,92O25. The con-
tract calls for the competition of this
work by March H. 1O9, which is mani
