Device For strinolno esad..

The fancy bead industry is foreign
one, and, although the beads are con-
sumed in this country, nearly If not
quite all are imported from France,
Germany and Italy. Until short
time ago the stringing of these beads
was done by hand. and the task
rather irksome one because OF the
difficulty in handling these tiny pieces.
A Frenchman has recently invited a
very simple device for this purpose,
and the work Is now done with great
rapidity. A quantity of beads is
placed in cup on a revolving stand.
driven either by hand or motor. and
when this Is put into motion the point
of needle on which thread has been
placed is put into the cup, and the
force of gravity makes the little beads
move along the needle and are then
passed on to the string.-New York

/" The Pomfret Pamphlet. "

The Pomfret pamphlet, called A
Vermont Library, Pons Fractus, just
published by the Elm Tree Press,
tells what one Vermont Library has
done to make its neighborhood kindly
and intelligent and prosperous.
The pamphlet is more than history
of the library and description of
the building and collections, for it
is 30 full of library experiences and
of practical suggestion that parts of
it might be manual of inspiration
for the rural librarian. Note the
detail with which Mrs. Chamberlin
works out the problem each school
house a branch library" Her rules
for the care of books are friendly
condolences her bid for children's
interest in the library comes as
personal appeal to the heart of each
child, and her cunning in advertis-
ing leads her to include in her
library notes every subject of interest
to the town. We would call the atten-
ton of librarians to the Roll of
honor, The good citizen says, The
horses prayer, ALI the world knows,
and the booklists for girls and boys.
IL would please Mrs. Chamberlin
and crafty the commission to have
others use these helps.
There is incorporated in the
pamphlet an article, Vermont
libraries and the state" setting forth
briefly some of the ways in which
the state helps those libraries which
turn to her, and note of explana-
tion by Mr.. Wilson. chairman of the
State Library Commission, giving
the sources Of. the publication and
the commissions connection with it.
The title page is a tribute to Mrs.
Chamberlin's wise and sympathetic
librarianship. The commission has
secured 1900 copies for distribution.
The Pamphlet was written by
Mrs. Chamberlin, with historical
notes by Mr.. Walter E. Perkins. the
Pomfret historian, and was edited by
Mr.. J. @. Dana, Librarian of the New
ark, N j Free Public Library. 1t has
SO pages and eight inserted illustra-
ions, and is very handsomely printed.

Fire at South RoyaIton.

Bearing in mind the several disas-
trous fires which have swept the
business section of South Royalton
in years past, the people were not a
little disturbed when fire broke out
in the basement of A. w. Bohonon' 8
store, early Thursday forenoon
of last week and threatened to sweep
The long row of blocks which consti
tute the chief part of the mercantile
life of the place But by difigent
work they confined the flames to the
basement of the Bohonon block. al
though smoke and water did consid-
erable damage in the store on the
frst floor and smoke crept into the
Bohonon residence on the second
floor over the store.
Mr.. Bohonon started fire in the
furnace in the basement of his store,
and it is supposed that tho flames
spread from this.

A French View Of the Germ manization Of
the Historic Region.

A French View OF the manization Of
the Historic Region.
Tourists who visit the Holy Land note
the progress Of its Germanization. On
the road to Nazareth most Of the inns
are kept by Germans. Nearly all the
streets of Jaffa have the aspect OF the
Prussian village. The houses have red
roofs and are surrounded by the little
garden so dear. to Gretchen. Traces
of the Teuton are everywhere. The
Syrian has been supplanted by the
Berliner, who has migrated from the
banks Of the Spree to the borders of
the Jordan in order to make his for
tune. German is spoken everywhere.
The American consul himself is a
German. Souvenirs of the kaiser
abound everywhere. Here one shows
a fountain that he erected to furnish
water to the pilgrims dying of thirst;
there is a road that he leveled to light
en- the fatigue of the journey. Enthu-
siastic guides show on the Mount OF
the Ascension, besides an imprint at
tributed to the Christ or to Mohammed,
according to ones faith, human foot
well marked in the rock, of which he
will confidentally murmur in the ear
of the, tourist, 'TWilliam III. stepped
there" In a hundred years perhaps
this will solidify into the legend Of
William II.-Cri de Paris.

ONIONS AND OLIVE Oil.
Foods That viii Ward OF Scarlet

Foods That Will Ward OF Scarlet
Fever and Diphtheria.
Since DIR. Frederick A. Kraft, the
Socialist health commissioner of Mil
waukee, made his recent announce
ment that eating onions and olive oil
is preventive of scarlet fever and
diphtheria he has been testing the
merits of his theory SO successfully
that the oil and onion cure Is attract
Ing widespread attention among medi-
cal men.
Health Commissioner Kraft has In
vestigated every recent case of scarlet
fever and diphtheria that he could
reach, and he has found that in no
family where case of either disease
broke out were onions or olive oil
used. He calls attention to the fact
that districts where onions are largely
used are free of scarlet fever and
diphtheria. Consequently he urged peo-
pie everywhere to overcome whatever
dislike they may have to the much ma
ligned onion and to eat 1t freely. You
can slice 1t and boil 1t In olive oil.
You can eat 1t raw with little olive
oil poured over 1t. The addition Of
olive oil he considers important. and
the best way of all is to eat raw
onion with oil at night Immediately
before retiring.

The new college will give especial prom thence to subjects in which girls are par ticularly interested, such as domestic economy, hygiene and child nursing, though the literary humanities will also receive adequate attention.
