The Literary Digest, under the head
ing, "What to do in not weather, ex-
planned the art of keeping cool which
might be adapted, in whole or in part
according to circumstances, as sort OF
first aid to the injured. The author
says, ITO summarize, we may make our
prescription for keeping cool read as
follows: Take thou of: muscular exer-
cise-as little as possible rest and sleep
as much as possible; digestible foods
only sufficient quantity indigestib!e
foods sufficient for bulk; cold drinks
with care and moderation as to tenn
perature and quantity; hot sun--a mini
mum amount; air in motion-enough
for comfort; cold baths-not over done !;
clothing light shades, light weight and
of cloth WHICH does not readily hold air
among its fibers. In this day when it
is becoming apparent that mind is not
thing wholly separate and apart from
the body, we must not fail to add to the
above prescription the postscript that he
who would keep at his coolest must also
avoid those reactions of the brain which
would make him stew, grow 'hot under
the collar or boil over, no matter what
the provocative stimulus.

on grounds Of sound policy and economy

out Of Vermont granite, while 20 many
opportunities were neglected right here
at home.
II seems to be human nature the
world over 10 think that one has 10 90
into some far country in order to do big
things, aud We Of Burlington are no
exception TO the rule. -
When the Burlington Commercial
club first undertook to develop granite
industry in this city, some people act
ually argued that We we're too lar from
the quarries To be able to accomplish
anything hut We are aot nearly so Tar
from the quarries as Michigan, for
example and results have abundantly
demonstrated the wisdom OF the com
mercial clubs course.
The organization hired representa-
tive to go to Barre aud look mp the
situation as regards rates and so on. a
readiustment of rates of transportation
from the quarries to this city was secured
| from the Central Vermont railroad aud
the opening for such an industry was
advertised Among those who applied
to the Commercial club aud opened
negotiations we're the Temple Bros. and
as a result a city meeting was called
and exemption from taxation was voted
to the industry.
Today this one concerl has weekly
pay roll ofsSG00 a week, which mean
the ciraIlatiuu in our city of cye
$4,000 year, to say nothing of th'
skilled labor aud the fine famiIie
brought to Burlington as result
Moreover the business is so rapidly de
veloping that another granite shed owe
100 feet in length is soon to he bull
and operations correspondingly expand
ed. The company is satisfied with tn,
railroad rates aud labor is readily secur
ed.
Under these circumstances there is ~
reason why Burlington should not reacI
out after other granite concerns Wit
confidence as the multiplication Of con
Germs would tend to make the city cen
ire, it is to be hoped that parties iutrr
ested will write to the Burlington Com
mercial club as did the Temple bros,-

The inconsistency in the policy oil
this country aud Great Britain IN one
particular is very apparent aud not
easily explained. Free-Trade England
has a policy of ship subsidy and her
flag is everywhere to be seen on 'he
great oceans; High-Protection Ameri'
cans fosters every other trade but the
long distance carrying trade, or mer-
chant marine. Americans can, and do,
build as fine vessels as either of the old
countries and yet their share in the long
distance trade is said TO be quite in
significant and growing less as time
passes. None of the arguments that
have been offered in opposition to propo-
sitions to encourage by reasonable sub
sidy an adequate revival of the old time
important shipping, have settled the
question as to this matter. A method
to encourage shipping should be con
sidered as an inseparable part OF an In
dispensible policy of reasonable conser'
walton of the prosperity of the Amerl'
can people.

An extraordinary thing about the
cutlery trade is the variety of knives
made. AT the Suffolk works In Shelf
field, for instance, they have 10000 DIFF
ferent patterns on the books. They
make sometimes 5000 patterns to or
der at one time. The same thing ia
true of the large cutlery works at So.

Senator Dillingham; has introduced a
publicity bill which is designed to pre-
vent, as far as legislation can prevent,
"deals" between influential candidates
and the professional politicians. The
bill proposes that:
"Every such candidate shall include
therein a statement of every promise or
pledge made by him, directly or in
directly, or by any one for him with his
knowledge before the completion of any
such primary Or general election, or
election by the Legislature, relative to
the appointment or recommendation for
appointment of any person to any posi-
ton of trust, honor or profit, either in the
county, state or nation, or in any politi-
cal subdivision thereof, or in any private
or corporate employment, and if any
such promise or pledge shall have been
made, the name or names, the address
or addresses, and the occupation or oc-
equations Of the person or persons W
whom such promise or pledge shall have
been made, shall be stated, together
with description of the position relat
ing to which such promise or pledge has
been made; in the event that no such
promise Or pledge has been made by
such candidate, that fact shall be dis
tinctly stated"
The proposition is certainly in accord
with public opinion aroused by evidence

AIDING the Farmers.

Over 80 Of the leading railroads Of
the country operated agricultural in
struction cars and trains during the
fiscal year prior to the one Just close !,
and they expended over $00,000,on this
work. 1t is safe to say that even more
roads were active in the same way dur
ing the last fiscal year and that more
money was spent. The railroad com
panies are of course consulting their
