Senator Pages Bill

Senator Justin s. Morrill, is secure
in fame as the father of the agricul-
tural colleges of his country. The
name OF Carroll S. Page will be link
ed in history with that of Morrill, if
the bill which the junior senator from
Vermont introduced in the last SEES
sion of congress becomes a law. The
bill possesses so much merit that it
cannot be ignored and it seems like
ly that it will be enacted sooner or
later. 1t is backed by the National
Educational association, the National
Grange and the American Federation
of Labor
The Page bill provides for the ap-
preparation of S5,00O,O00 for instruc-
ton in the trades and industries.
home economics and agriculture, to
be distributed to the various states
in accordance with the population OF
1910. -Four million dollars is appro-
priated for state district agricultural
schools to be distributed according
to the agricultural population. One
million dollars is appropriated for
the maintenance of branch expert
ment stations in connection with az
ricultural high schools according to
the agricultural population.
Five hundred thousand is appro-
priated for extension work in connec-
ton with the state colleges of agri-
culture to be distributed according
to the efforts made by the states
themselves One million dollars is
appropriated for instruction in trades,
industries, home economies and agri-
culture in state and normal schools
TO be distributed according to the pop
ulation together with other minor ap-
preparations for the purpose of carry
ing out special lines of investigation.
Too much stress has been laid in
our schools on preparation for col
lege. The great majority OF our boys
do not so to college, but enter into
active work upon leaving the public
schools. The Page bill carries on
larged opportunities to these boys.
1t is, as the Montpelier Journal
points ont "a logical and fitting COM
plement to the Morrill, act, enlarging
the scheme OF popular education,
bringing it nearer to the people and
promoting particularly the develop
ment of our agricultural resources, a
necessary step if we do not propose
to become dependent upon other ma
tons for our food supply. "-Brattle-

Maxine Up an Actor.

In making up an amateur actor
should remember that as little paint as
possible should be used, for, while 1t Is
easy to disguise by a thick mask of
pigment, the heavier the makeup the
more difficult it is to convey sensitive
emotional variations by the changing
expression of the face. If 1t is posi-
BILE to arrange ones own hair in a way
suitable to the character so much the
better, for. though it may in no way
seem more real than a wig, 1t will
prove infinitely more comfortable.
When the actor looks as much like tho
part as he possibly can without the aid
of artificial disguise he begins to apply
nose paste, paint and powder, obllter-
atlng one characteristic and accentuat-
ing another, painting the eyebrows out
and redrawing them, changing the col
or of the skin putting shadows around
the eyes and sinister lines running
from the nostrils. He adds n roughly
shaped beard or mustache Of Grape
hair If the character demands it,

A VOLCANIC MONUMENT.
Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland. Ore.

Portland, Ore.
One of the most remarkable rocks in
the world is that known as the bal
ancing rock" which stands on the
bank of the Willamette river a short
distance above the city Of Portland.
Ore. Rising from broad base Is a
small column roughly round in shape.
Just above this is huge mass of rock
bearing q tree on the summit, the total
height of rock and column being about
a hundred feet
Although great deal larger and
heavier than the pillar on which 1t
stands. the big rock is very accurately
balanced. For how many centuries
this odd freak has stood not even the
wisest scientists are able to determine.
but 1t has evidently been there for a
very long period.
The entire rock Is Of volcanic ma
ture, and the most singular thing
about it is the fact that the knob and
pillar are entirely disjointed from one
another. Wind and weather no doubt
are slowly wearing the balancing
rock" away, but the process Is so i'm
perceptible that, falling some unfore-
seen catastrophe, the monument will
probably endure for many centuries.-

NEW NINE IN wlNDAAm COUNTY
Silver and Lead Ore Found on Farm
In Newfane and Wardsboro


Brattleboro men with lust for pre-
cious metals invaded Newfane and
Wardsboro last fall and stories are
told that they have found silver and
lead In the rocks on the old Scranton
farm on the line between these two
towns. Orlin H. Ellis and Herbert
p. Yearly are the Brattleboro men
behind the venture and that they
have something good in the shape of
prospect is evident from the capital
and labor that they have put into
the proposition since an old miner
made r prospecting tour of the sec
ton last summer. The Reformer pre-
sents a picture of the buildings at
the moth of the shaft That there
was lead and silver on the Scranton
farm was known two generations ago
but the men Of those days were not
given to delving for metals where
the chances seemed so remote OF
striking pay dirt as on the Scranton
farm. II remained for Brattleboro
treasure seekers to wrest the metals
from the rocks and with the approach
OF spring and the return of the song
birds the sound of the miners pick
and drill will be heard as the ingenu-
ity of men seeks to secure the wealth
believed to be hidden in the rocks on
the Scranton farm. Whether the ore
vii. assay enough to warrant work
ing is not stated by the men interest
ed in the enterprise, but from the
preparations made for early work this
spring Ii is apparent they are OF the
belief that they have what may prove
bonanza. This Eldorado OF Yer
mont Is situated a considerable dis
lance from the railroad and the trans
portation OF ore will be expensive but
this will not deter the prospectors
from making an attempt and as low
grade ores can by several processes
be made to produce paying mine II
is confidently expected that the New
fane-Wardsboro lead and silver mine
will yield enough metal to the ton
to warrant working.
Early in the winter the proprietors
OF the mine assembled several pieces
Of machinery on the ground and con-
siderable preliminary work has been
done. The men behind the enterprise
did not go into the venture until they
felt satisfied that the ore would yield
sufficient metal to bring a dividned
upon their investment Two farms
adjoining the Scranton farm have
been bought by those interested in
this development and II the vein pans
out as well where other out.croppings
appear another industry will be add
ed to those OF Windham county and
the zone of precious metals in Yer
mont will naturally attract others
seeking hidden treasures.-Brattle.

Believed Them True Stories.

When Dante published his Inferno"
the simplicity of the age accepted 1t
as a true narrative Of his descent into
hell.
When the utopia" Of Sir Thomas
Moore was first published it occasioned
a pleasant mistake. This political ro-
nance represents a perfect but vision
airy republic in an island supposed to
have been newly discovered in Amer
lea. "As this was the age of dis
covery," says Granger. "the learned
Budaeus and others took 1t for a genu-
inc history and considered it as highly
expedlent that missionaries should be
sent thither In order to convert so wise
a nation to Christianity
1t was long while after publication
that many readers were convinced
that Gullivers travels were fictitious.

Peculiar After Effects
Of Grip This Year

Doctors in all parts OF the
country have been kept busy with the
epidemic OF grip which has visited 80
many homes. The symptoms OF grip
this year are very distressing and
leave the system in a run down con-
dition, particularly the kidneys which
seem to suffer most, as every victim
complains OF lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglect

dreaded Bright's Disease. Local drug
gists report a large sale on DR.. Kill

people say soon heals and streng-
thens the kidneys after an attack Of
grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney
liver and bladder remedy, and being
an herbal compound has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which

AMPLE IRON ORE SUPPLY
Michigan Mining Men Say Large
Quantity is Available

Calumet, Mich, April Michigan
iron mining men do not agree with
the estimate made by Or. Allerton S.
Cushman Of the available iron ore
supply in the United States. made
in his recent address in Philadelphia
DR.. Cushman said that the present
ore supply now available in the Uni
ted States is only 4,7SS,000.0O0 tons.
He also stated that if the average
rate of increase by decades should be
continued it would require a produc-
ton in the next three decades of
6,08S,000,O0 tons. These figures do
not agree with those presented to
Congress by Congressman Young of
Michigan According to Congress-
man Young the amount of ore avail
able in the United States is several
times greater than DR. Cushman es-
timated
There are mining men on the Mar
quette range who believe that DR..
Cushman's estimate is even too low
for the quantity that can be found in
Marquette county alone
