A Good WhiteWash.

A whitewash needs to be well
made to do the work as it too
often falls off in flakes after the
wood is dry. Slacken your lime
in hot water, make it as thick if
possible, as soft soap, then thin
with kerosene oil. Now you have
a whirewash that will both stick
to the houses and kill the lice.
Apply the whitewash while hot
and be sure that all cracks and
corners get plenty of it. Do your
embarrassing in the morning, so
that by night the houses will be
dry and comfortable.

Tile most pronounced friend Of the

Al the same time we are of the opinion
that Mr.. Halliday Is putting a little
more weight into his argument than the
circumstances will warrant. IL the
deer were the only drawback to the
growing Of orchards IN Vermont the
problef could soon be solved. The
farmers have always had majority in
the legislature and law to permiwt

real reason for the ndisposition Of Yer

THE BENEFITS OF BEING THE CAPT
TAI.

tai.
The advantages Of being the state cap.
ital are 20 many and so strong that
Montpelier can afford to put up with
the few and relatively slight disadvan.
tagee which center about a session Of the
general assembly. The advantages are
financial, social, educational chiefly
financial, although the beauty and the
ohivalry of the state are supposed to con
gregate there and the debates on matters
OF state Importance are supposed to be
enlightening But the social and cdrca
tional advantages are slight as compared
with the financial. Take, for instance,
this session Of the legislature, which
closed yesterday after running ninety
two days, the longest tenure Of service
ever known to the Green Mountain state
The salaries attached thereto amounted
approximately to sl35.0O0, and practi
cally all Of the entire amount was paid
to persons who came to Montpelier as
strangers within the gates and who had
to seek their board and lodging for a
stipend, having no kind friends upon
whom they could foist neighborly visit
Of few months.
It follows, then, that the, boarding and
lodging establishments IN Montpelier
took their strangers int-there in no sin
lister meaning in this expression and
were paid regulation tariff rates for their
keep during this extended and re-ex-
tended session. Allowing that the legis-
lators exercised tbe usual Yankee keen
ross in driving bargain with their en-
tertainers, they must nevertheless have
left two thirds Of their salaries in Mont
pelier either with the boarding. houses
or with the merchants. That would be
something Ike 100000 But the half
is only told. There is, over and above
this matter Of food and lodging, the i'm
mense amount Of printing which goes
with every session and the cost Of which
IS not small BY any means. Most Of this
money goes to Montpelier concerns.
Moreover, there are the stores and sup.
plies which are necessary to the material
progress Of things at the State House,
and much Of these is purchase in Mont.
pesier. Then there are the ineidentalsI
(Which ere too numerous to mention, but
hich al contribute to Montpelie1's
spciel good. Having figured all these
a =. g up. you can form q fairly definite
> that il is good to be tle capital Of
- small state a. Is Vermont.
