Wears Wrist Bag While Steering
Car, Hits Post.

Because a woman tried to carry
wrist bag where, you might suspect
and at the same time steer an auto
mobile, an electric vehicle, numbered
9045, came to grief on Beacon street,
Brookline, last night. 1t was piece
of pure fortune that the woman who
carried the wrist bag and another
woman who was the passenger didn't
come to grief, too.
The car was coming down Beacon
street headed for Boston when the
wrist bag began to get mixed up with
the steering gear. Before the woman
who drove could rearrange it, the ma
chine had skidded into an electric light
post in front Of the Boulevard Bank
building with such force that the wo-
man who was passenger was thrown
out. The steering gear was all that
prevented the other woman from fol-
lowing.
The machine was wrecked and both
women sojourned in neighboring drug
store for some time before they took a
trolley car for home. The machine was
later towed away.
In the Massachusetts automobile IL
cense list the name of Sarah F. Cutter,
Is Rangeley Park, Winchester, appears

vermont's Publicity Bureau.

The publicity bureau of Vermont is
putting out some good advertising for
that State. 1t seems that Vermont is
surpassed in the number of bushels of
corn raised to the acre by only four
States and those are New England
States. Her crop last year amounted
to 1881, 900 bushels while that of Colo
RADIO was little less 2,846, 900 bushels
and that of North Dakota, little more.
2, 1896, 900 bushels, but although the ag-
gregate yield was nearly the same,
when compared with Vermont's acreage
of 5000, Colorado corn growers planted
143, 900 acres and North Dakota farm
ers planted 214, 200 acres. Thus it will
be seen that Vermont's yield was two
fold that of Colorado and threefold that
of North Dakota. The price per bushel
in Vermont, December l, was &c cents,
or nearly twice that of the banner
State, Illinois, which was SO cents.
The price in the other big corn States
was: Iowa, &c cents; Kansas, 45 cents;
Texas, GO cents; Missouri, "a cents;
Nebraska, Sc cents; Oklahoma, 81 cents;
Indiana, DO cents. A big yield and a
big price made pretty good combina-
ton and indicates that Vermont farmers
are quite as well situated as their
Western brothers. New Hampshire
has record even better than this. -

COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS.

One hundred and thirty-four eight
grade pupils wrote the final examina-
tion in this county May 25 and 26, and
only 25 passed the examination.
1t is only reasonable to suppose that
large majority of the 1O9 pupils who
did not pass the examination are much
disappointed and discouraged and tha t
their parents and friends are anxious
to know the cause of their so-called
failures.
1t is dreadful event in the life of
any ambiit Gus pupil to learn at the
close of the school year that he or she
willn not be promoted, and there is
always some one to hlame whenever a
pupil who has attended school regular
ly cannot be promoted at the close Of
the year.
Let try to discover, if possible, the
cause of so many failures in this Sth
grade final examination.
/ Was the examination too hard for
the Sth grade pupils The questions
for the examination were prepared
under the direction of the State Super
intednent of Schools, the same gues-
tions were given to all the 9Th grade
pupils throughout the state. The fol-
lowing are two of the questions in the

"Whst is the cost of fencing a lot 9
rods square at IL cents per foot2"
"The population of South Dakota is

 The Pope is giving every encourage ment to the work of the Abbot Cas- quet, o. S. B., in the revision of the Vulgate Bible. In the audience which the abbot had with him, the Pope was particularly pleased with the result of the work so far. The chief drawback is the abbot's want of funds, but he Is hopeful. He announced to the Pope that the photographs and reproductions of manuscripts that he has made would if put on sale realize 5000. The Pope said he hoped such a misfortune might be avoided. and sooner than they should be lost he would himself purchase them. The abbot has discovered manuscripts of intense interest.
