Circulation is the complete circuit Of the body by
particle Of blood Starting at the left ventrcle it
follows an artery to its mnutest extension in some
tissues. There it is picked up by the capillaries,
through them conveyed to the veins and so returned
to the heart after having been successfully filtered
of its waste matter by the skim Of its bile by the
liver its by the kidneys and paid toll Of secre
tons to various glands of the body
The blood goes a trading trip. 1t carries lime,
potash, soda, magnesa, oxygen, nitrogen, grape
sugar, fats gum, etc, ETC. This cargo it trades off
for carbonc acid gas. uric acid and long list Of
waste products to which the scientists have given
that not less formidable than the pOisons
themselves.
The kidneys catch the urea, the excretory glands
all over the body capture and thrust forth the mis-
cellaneous waste and the lungs respre the carbonc
acid gas On it's next trip the blood, like obedent
servant, delivers it's load of healthy living cells to
the hungry tissues, carries off the waste, and

The Proposed State Wide Get
Together" Banquet

Unusual plans are being furthered for
statewide 'get-together" banquet,
in the interest of Vermont, to be held
in the Gates opera house, at White
River Junction during the late spring,
now that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
has assured the Windsor County
Y. M. G. A. committee, who have the
affair in charge, that he will come to
Vermont to speak at this occasion. The
undertaking has been under considera-
ton by the committee for many months,
and every effort will now be made to
carry through this unique occasion.
Prominent leaders in the life of Yer
mont, representative of all the various
interests, colleges, railroads, churches,
schools, socities and other organiza-
tons will be brought together, as it is
proposed to seat between five and six
hundred men.
The subject suggested to ex-President
Roosevelt by the committee the other
day in New York, was Corporation in
Country Life, as this will be made the
keynote of the gathering. DR.. Butter
field, President of Massachusetts and
Rhode Island Agricultural College, and
a prominent member of ex-President
Roosevelt's Country Life Commission,
has also assured the committee that
he would be present and speak, along
with one or two other prominent country
life leaders.
1t is expected that Ex-Governor Proc
tor will act as toast-master, and that
the gathering will be as representative
of the various interests in the State as
it can be made, even though the num-
Der of the invitations will, necessarily,
have to be limited. The plan has the
endorsement of many prominent men in
the life of Vermont, who are already Of
fering their cooperation. EXPresident
Roosevelt assured the Committee last
Friday afternoon, (seven of whom went
to New York to meet him and talk over
the pan) that after his Western trip,
which he proposes to make in the spring,
he will inform the committee of the eX-
act date of his visit to the state, agree
ing to give at least six weeks, and pos
sibly two months notice. in order that
the committee may have plenty of time
to complete all arrangements. This
gathering will, undoubtedly, sound a
forward note for the entire state.
This will be the only visit that ex-
President Roosevelt will make to Yer
mont during the year, and the first visit
that he has made in nearly ten years.

THE KESSlANS.
They Were Good Soldiers. and Some
Became Good Americans.

They Were Good Soldiers. and Some
Became Good Americans
There is Il popular belief among some
people that the I!csSian mercenarioS
brought here by The British govern
ment to fight the Americans remained
here after the war was over and that
their descendants constitute Il consid
cradle element of the Pennsylvania
Germans of today. Comparatively few
remained here after the war, because
the British government was under con-
tract to return such as escaped the
casualties of the war after it was over
The few that remained made good citi-
zens, as they made the very best SOL
ders against the Americans, and
whenever 1t was practical to do 50
they were put in the most responsible
places by the British commanders
The intense hatred at one time
against the so called Hessian soldiers,
some of which still fingers with the
present generation, is very unjust, be
cause they did not volunteer to fight
against the Americans, but they were
forced into the British service by the
impecunious German princes who sold
them TO the British like so many
slaves. The Hessian soldiers would
sometimes take a notion to desert, and
they invariably found refuge among
some of the German cOlOnlsts A CON
siderable number of them were left
behind from time to time on marches.

These always found ready welcome
among German settlers; few Of them

Origin of Red Cross Seals.

Red Cross Christmas seals date back
in their origin to ''charity stamps,
first used for the soldiers relief funds
in Boston in 1862, during the Civil War.
After the war, this method of raising
money was discontinued in this country
for a generation, although it found
vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Aus
tralia, France, Spain, Denmark, Nor
way, Russia, Sweden, and other
European countries. There are now
several hundred different types of
charity stamps used in all parts of the
world.
Stamps or seals We're first used to get
money for the nti-tuberculosis crusade
in Norway and Sweden in 1904. After
being used in these countries for three
years, as direct result Of the interest
of Jacob Riis in his movement, the
Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, headed by Miss Emily P. Bissell,
and the Red Crsss Society of Delaware
combined in issuing a tuberculosis
stamp. So successful was this cam
paign that nearly $4,000 was realized,
and the next year, in 1908, the Ameri-
can Red Cross was induced to issue a
National Red Cross tuberculosis stamp
From this sale S135, 900 was realized.
that amount being almost doubled in
1909. This year, for the first time, the
sale is organized on a comprehensive
basis, takingi in all parts of the United
States.
The proceeds from the sale of Red
Cross seals in Vermont will be used to
aid those who are seeking relief at the
Pittsford Sanatorium from the so cal
led "white plague. 1t is hoped that
the people of Vermont will meet this
appeal very generously and in this way
help to sustain an institution which is
doing good work in our state.

LIBERTY BELL.
Its Connection With the Declaration of
lndepe ndence

The famous Liberty bell was cast in
London in 1852, brought to America
and subsequently recast in Phladel-
phia. 1t bears the inscription. 'Pro-
claim Liberty Throughout the World
and to All the Inhabitants Thereof" 1t
was cracked while being tolled after the
death of Chief Justice John Marshall
in 1880. 1t is kept on exhibition in In
dependence hall, Philadelphia 1t has
had a fictitious Importance owing to
the popular belief that its ringing pro-
claimed the adoption of the Declara-
ton Of Independence on July 4, 177G
Concerning this belief however, Fried
enwald in his Declaration of indie
pendence" 09OD says:
There is no shadow of authority
even for associatlng the ringing of the
bell with the announcement of the
agreement upon independence The
mythical legend of the blue eyed boy
waiting outside the door to give the
signal to the man in the bell tower is
the product of the fertile Imagination
of one of Philadelphias early ro-
mancers, George Lippard, who first
gave currency to 1t In his appropriate
ly called Legends of the Revolution

One-Cent Letter POSTAGE.

The statement is credited to the
postmaster general that in a short while
the rates for letter postage can be re-
duced with safety to one cent for each
ounce.
The postoffice department is almost
self-sustaining, and he thinks that when
the receipts equal the expenditures
Congress will be in mood still further
to facilitate the transaction of business
by reducing the rate of letter postage.
Every reduction in the rate has been
followed by a large increase in the
postal receipts. Where man wrote
one letter at cents half ounce he
wrote two at 2 cents, and when the al
lowable weight of letter was increased
to one ounce, men and women not only
were less restricted as to the length of
their letters, but wrote more of them.
Correspondence used to be an eXpen-
sive luxury. The rate of postage fixed
in 1892 was six cents for a distance I'M
der thirty miles, an amount which in
creased with the distance until the max
imum rate of 25 cents for four hundred
and fifty miles or more was reached.
These RI ties prevailed till 1915, when
rate of cents for three hundred miles
and ten cents for greater distance was
fixed for half ounce letters. Six years
later this was reduced to three cents for
three thousand miles or less. The re-
striction on distance was removed dur
ing the Civil War, for the benefit of
California; and in 1883 the ate was re-
duced to cents. Finally the allowable
weight was increased to one ounce.
The total receipts of the postoffice
department in the early days of the
government were much less than the
receipts of a modern city of $4,000 in
habitants; and there were less than two
hundred post offices all told in 1892,
says Youths Companion. Now.they are
numbered by the ten thousand, and

IeaGis to a wonderful and most
beautiful little Valley, located
between a high hill on either
side, with tall majestic trees on
the sides of the hills, vine clad
with grape vines, loaded with
lucious fruit hanging in clust-
ers on the vines. the vines
reaching almost to the ground,
waving grass on the ground,
with flowers mingled through
the grass. bursting with bloom
ing beauties on the branches,
and squirrels playing on the
trees, coming out and barking
at US as much as to say what
are you doing here? And way
up on the side of hill a spring
of pure sparkling water came
out in a tiny little stream that
came trickling down the side
of the hill, looking like a rib
bon of silver, making its way
to the larger stream, running
in the center of the Valley,
forming with it, making a
larger stream that was making
its way to where they both
would d~isembogue into the
mighty ocean. The sight was
enchanting, but where located
we do not know; that it exists
somewhere we are certain but
just when or where have we
seen it we do not know,
but it is pictured on our mind
as vivid as the map of Iowa.

Dreams

What is a dream? Who can
tell? When we dream is it to
be in a spiritual state? A kind
of physical condition, and at
the same time to be in a kind
of spiritual state?
The physical man to be Sleep
ing while the tther self is able
to see and recognize objects,
and persons? Who can tell?
That we dream is certain, and
sometimes those dreams are
most wonderful. We read in
the good book of some dreams.
Paul says, He was caught up to
the third heaven and heard
words unlawful to be uttered.
Certainly not bad words but no
doubt words that could not be
understood by the world.
John, on the Isle of Patmus
saw the New Jerusalem, the
City of God, with a large num-
Der of people who had washed
their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb.
This was a dream, no doubt in
which John was permitted to
have a glimpse of the Heaven
ly City, while he was in that
spiritual condition which we
call sleep. We are at a loss to
comprehend the subject, but
that we dream, none can dis
pute.
We are lead to these thoughts
from the fact of having had a
wonderful dream a few nights
ago, since which it has caused
US much thought and a little
worry. On going to sleep as
usual a few nights since, we
dreamed that we, in company
with a friend, was travelling in
the west somewhere, when we
