Goat Mutton.

"When you get leg of mutton and
find on trying to cook it that 1t seems
likely never to get done, it's goat"
says local housekeeper.
1.-THE only way of distinguishing kid
from lamb or goat from mutton is that
the goat flesh requires longer to cook
and even when thoroughly done has a
reddish appearance as though 1t were
slightly rare. When properly prepared
goat flesh is just as tender, just as nu-
tritious as mutton and has exactly the
same flavor. There Is prejudice
against 1t, which, however, is entirely
Ill founded, and it is likely enough that
this feeling is due more to the comic
artists than to anybody else. In q
comic picture representing the goat the
old Billy is usually shown munching a
tomato can or a straw hat or lot of
clothes stolen from the line, but as q
fact the goat is just as particular
about his food as the sheep, eats about
the same kind and in spite of the comic
artist in about the same quantity. The
animal is just as Clearly as the sheep,
and the only reason why the butchers
do not openly avow their sales of goat
| meat is on account of the unfounded
prejudice against it. 1t is sold under
the name of mutton. "-Exchange.

The Dress Of General WASHINGTON.

This great man was very particular
about his personal appearance. He
took pains with everything he did and
showed off his clothes to advantage
There have been some interesting de-
tails of late given of what he wore
from 1888 to 1903. The general writes
himself in ordering his clothes. plain
clothes with gold or silver button II
worn in genteel dress are all desire"
He imported his best clothes from Eng
land, but on ordinary occasions wore
native homespun when out of uniform.
For receptions he had black velvet
coat and breeches; the coat long cut
away, square at the ends, having a
small standing collar. There were ten
breast buttons of silver or open work
steel on the right breast, with blind
buttonholes four inches long made
Of black silk braid on the opposite side.
The coat had pocket flaps treated in
the same way; also cuffs, which were
five inches deep. There were two hip
buttons at the back. This garment
was very long wasted, and the top of
the pocket flaps and hip buttons were
ON line with the lowest of the breast
buttons. 1t was lined with white
satin, accompanied by black velvet
breeches, with small buttons and knee
buckles; the waistcoat of white or
pearl colored satin, with small stand
Ing collar and indented pocket flaps; a
fine muslin shirt, with standing ruffies,
repeated at the wrists, and the stock

kles. A dress sword, with silver hilt
suspended by a chain from belt worn
under the waistcoat and linen stock
completed the costume. He wore bag
wig, but not powder.

Science For Its Own Sake.

A prominent feature in Faraday's
character was his absolute love of sci
ence for its own sake. He freely gave
his discoveries to his world when he
could easily have built up colossal
fortune upon them. He once told his
friend, Professor Tyndall, that at
certain period of his career he had
definitely to ask himself whether he
should make wealth or science the OBJ
feet Of his life. He could not serve
both masters and was therefore COM
PEELED to choose between them. When
preparing his well known memoir of
the great master, the professor called
to mind this conversation and asked
leave to examine his accounts, and
this is the conclusion the professor ar
rived at: Taking the duration of his
life into account, this son of black
smith and apprentice to bookbinder
had to decide between fortune Of
| f150,000 ON the one side and his unen-
dowed science on the other. He chose
the latter and died poor man. But
his was the glory of holding aloft
| among the nations the scientific name
Of England for period Of forty years.

AN UNUSUAL REUNION.
Charles DEF. Bancroft Finds His
Name Sake on Kingsbury Farm,
the Grandson OF His Fathers Bro
thpT,


A rather unusual reunion of long
separated relatives occurred on Sun
day at the Kingsbury farm. In 1886
Edmund c., second son of the late
Aaron Bancroft, for years the
village sexton in Montpelier, left
Montpelier at about the age of 20
years. Edmund was brother of
the late Charles E. Bancroft, father
of Charles Def. of this city. Moth
ing was heard from Edmund for
time but later it was learned that
he had gone to Vergennes, was work
ing as a shoemaker and had mar
ried. Shortly after this, about 1887,
it was learned that he was drowned
that was the last heard from him.
Last week Friday Charles Def.
Bancroft learned that there was
namesake of his working on the
Kingsbury farm and so on Sunday
he went up to have visit and much
to his surprise he learned that the
man, Charles V. Bancroft, was a
grandson of Edmund who left Mont
pelier 73 years ago.
From the new arrival Mr.. Ban
croft learned that Charles V. Ban
croft's father was the little child left
by Edmund with his mother, about
whom nothing was learned. His
name was Edwin R. and his father
had been drowned in Lake Cham
plain. This Edwin R. served all
through the war being a member of
the 9Th Vermont regiment and was
later killed by the cars near the
Vergennes station in 1879. He had
two sons. Charles ", now aged
about forty, and Edwin C. of New
York who has a son Charles. Meth
er the grandmother nor the mother
of Charles and Edwin knew anything
of the Bancroft history. Charles
was born in Bristol and owns a
piece of farm property there today.
Charles Def. Bancroft thought
with his two sons that he was the
last bearing the name of Bancroft,
! descendants of the late Aaron Ban
| croft, after the death of George Ban
, croft (son of Daniel Foster Ban
croft some years ago and his son,
! George A., who died in New York a
few years ago.

Barre, was struck down by bicycle
rider Sunday evening while playing

and sustained the fracture of one
leg. The boy who ran the child
down is supposed to be a Magoon

AS near as can be learned by the
children who saw the accident the
bicycle rider after running down the
child picked it up and tried to stand
it on its feet but finding that some
thing was wrong with the legs
jumped on his wheel and rode up
South Main street. The father of
the child, who was attended by DR..
A. A. Leonard, looked for return
of the rider and short time after
ward noticed boy carrying wheel
