stones, which it is hard under the
glimmering lights to detect from
the real stones, and the genuine
valuables.
LEADING LADYS DAZZLING
ARRAY OF STONES-$25
How we sometimes envy the
dainty star of stageland who trips
before the footlights bedecked from
head to toe in a glorious array of
brilliance, and what disappoint-
ment to know that the whole outfit
of dazzling stones could be bought
for $25.0O, little more than a
chorus girls salary for one week.
These are the local crystals, which
come from the state of Arkansas.
What tremendous display one can
make with a quarter of hundred!
The leading ladies of the average
society plays which are produced
nowadays wear the rhinestones,
which are very good limitations of
the genuine, and one display of
these brilliants often costs about
$500.
Nevertheless there is a certain
satisfaction in the possession of the
real gems, and you would be sur
prised to know how many of the
actresses Of today possess rare
Jewels. 1t is a common occurrence
for Olga Nethersole, Mrs Leslie
Carter and many other celebrities
to appear on the stage wearing
from $4,000 and $4,000 to $4,000
worth Of genuine precious stones.

drunken condition, A. Mulholland,
a laborer, As years of age, walked
into a standing team of horses in

avenue at o'clock yesterday after
noon, so frightening the animals

Mulholland was taken to the

head just above his eye was horri-
bly, lacerated and his entire head
was badly bruised, though it is
thought that no fractures resulted.

Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer of Montpelier

| consider it the noblest and most finely
phrased tribute of veneration which any
son of Vermont has ever brought to an
alma civitas and, for that matter, know
of nothing more eloquent, heart-searching
and loyal ever given by any laureate to
the country of his birth. 1t is a very
rare thing that such a noble and perfect
poem, breathing and the firm and undy :
ing affection of its children for Vermont,
should appear in days like ours, but it is
simply explained when we recall the life,
work, and character of the author him
self. This poem. which does not fail to
include every one of the great claims of
Vermont to the love and loyalty of its
sons ana daughters and to its greatness
as a state, should become hereafter the
permanent possession and part Of the
recoverable memory of every student of

HARDWOOD FLOORS.
How to Acquire One of Successfully
Polished Oak.

How to Acquire une or successfully
Polished Oak.
The two principal hard woods used
for floors are maple and oak. OF them
the latter is in more common use for
NIL kinds of floors. To achieve sue
cessfully polished oak floor is by no
means simple and easy process, but
the result is we'll worth the expendi-
ture of labor and money, since it is
practically indestructible and improves
in appearance with age.
Oak flooring leaves the factory in
perfect condition. 1t has been kiln
dried, tongued and grooved and end
matched. The care of the lumber aft
err it reaches the builders hands is Of
the greatest consequence to the sue
cess of the floor. 1t should be pro-
tected from moisture and from rough
handling such as may mar the sur
face. After it has been laid the next
process is that of smoothing. The
lumber is, of course. smoothed before
it is laid, but it will nevertheless re-
quire more minute process of scrap
ing in order to remove the waves"
which slight differences in the quality
of the boards will give rise to. This
process is one of the most impor-
tant. since after the finish is put on
imperfections will show up even more
plainly than before. Every housewife
knows of the small rough patches in
a bare floor which gather dirt and
which it is impossible to clean.
During the process of scraping the
part of the floor which has been finish
ed should be covered so as to be pro-
tected from footprints and any other
possible injury to the surface 1t is
much better if possible to have the
floor laid and finished after plastering
painting and papering are all done 50
that it will not be necessary to walk
on the floor. This makes them some
what more expensive, however.
After the scraping and smoothing
processes are completed the floor
should have Il coat of Il paste filler.
This filler is rubbed thoroughly into
the wood. and then the supertluouS
paste is removed. This paste filler
may be Incorporated with coloring
matter, and in this manner any one of
variety of tones may be given TO the
floor. After the filler has dried the
finishing process is completed by the
application of one. two and sometimes
three coats of varnish, each one being
allowed to dry before the next one is
applied. Floor varnishes nowadays
have been improved until they do not
crack or show heel prints if a good
quality is employed

Advent

A Christmas sermon was preached last
Sunday by Mr.. Peabody, taking for his
text the we'll known words of the angel,
announcing the glad tidings to the shep-
herds, Luke 2.10-11. Many names give n
to Christ in prophecy and by inspiration
were noted, also their fuifilment. As
these prophecies have been fulfilled so
will also those relating to His second
appearing. There were at least few
who were looking for and recognized the
Messiah, but it was surprise to the
world in general. The people to whom
God has always revealed his secrets have
been they who have continually wor-
shipped Him, whose hearts were right
