When an oblGing young man offers to

The Grange at the County
Fair.

The oranges of the county are
coming to the Windsor County fair
next fall in full strength and with
wagon loads of exhibits-which is
the most congratulatory bit of news
that the annual meeting of the ven
cradle society has made public in a
good many years.
The Woodstock fair has become
essentially a local and neighborhood
show, which has been somewhat
dimmed by the big "State" fair at
White River Junction. state fair
swefled by many exhibits from all
over the country; and therefore the
offer of the granGers to combine in
q special display of their products
means big boost for this old-time
harvest festival.
A spirit of progressiveness seemed
to pervade the society's deliberations
this year, determination to get
out of the old ruts, to infuse little
new life into the program with the
object of attracting the people three
days and entertaining them every
hour. Its old-home day character
is of course to be retained, that is
one of the charms of the Windsor
county fair, but this doesn't mean
that our visitors should be left en-
tirely to their own resources and be
forced to content themselves with
the sight of a champion COW, the
purchase of toy balloon, or of push
ing wheel of fortune, though these
things are very important features
of the successful country fair, espec-
tally the record mixer aud the red
and blue balloons.
More attention is now paid to the
advertising end of the county fair
It has lacked an active bureau OF
publicity in former years, and has
suffered in consequence.

spoken over the telephone. Professor
Peroth's telephone receiver is com

Monster solder Web Of Rope.

The largest spider web In the world
was strung not by spider, but by
human hands. It stands on the lawn
Of Chicago mans country home. The
creator Of this oddly conceived the
idea Of attempting to see how nearly
an actual spiders web could be repro
duced with rope. Selecting two i'm
mense trees on the lawn of his home,
he spun between them this spiders
web, 40 by 60 feet, which is SO strong
that a man may easily climb to the
center or top of it.-Milwaukee Jour-

A Southern Invasion.

The Age is pleased to acknowl-
edge the receipt of large red apple
from a nursery at Berlin, Maryland,
though the arrival is little short OF
an impudent invasion of state that
is doing its best to raise good apples
and more of them.
This apple was labelled York
Imperial" and it rolled out of the
mail bag in faultless condition
sound, juicy, of rare favor, and with
the insignificant core that betokens
good breeding-in fact, with all the
royal attributes emitting it to its
name. Thanks
An invading exotic like this speci-
men will always be Hospitality well
coined, but some day Vermont is
going to give just as good as she
receives, from Maryland or any other
apple-butter-making state.
Our expert orchardists tell us
that we have everything to do with
in soil and climate-all the condi-
tions necessary for the production Of
perfect and profitable apples-and
these southern-bred competitors are
welcome as a wholesome stimulus
to more strenuous efforts in the
Green Mountain state. One regret
fully wonders why so many Vermont
orchards, which above all things
need scientific attention for the de-
velopment of fruit between frosts
have been allowed to go to ruin
But Vermont is waking up to hel
apple-growing possibilities and the
state may become as widely known
for its fruit as it is for the maple
sugar which sweetens the pie belt.

BELGIAN state RaiIwaxs.

Belgium enjoys the distinction Of
having been the first continental nation
to establish a railway. The pioneer line
between Malines and Brussels was
opened in 1885, and now, out of a total
of 1880 miles of track in the country,
the state is the owner of $3.50 miles,
its system, proportionately to area, be-
ing the largest in the world. The Bel
gian government also maintains its
own steamship service between Dover
and Ostend, and its feet has always
included the fastest channel steam

The Letters OF Horace

Rare Ben .Jonson's tribute to Hor-
ace is used, appropriately enough,
at the beginning of recently pub
lished book containing letters of the
Latin poet presented TO modern
readers" "Such," wrote Jonson in
his ''Discoveries," twas Horace, an
author OF much civility, and ( if any
one among the heather can be } the
best master, both of virtues and
wisdom; an excellent and true Judge
upon cause and reason; not because
he thought so, but because he
knew so, out of use and experience.
The volume is companion to
"Horace for Modern Readers" put
forth some two years ago by the
same editors, John Cotton Dana,
librarian OF the Newark Library, and
his brother, DR.. Charles LOOMS
Dana, of New York. 1t includes
more than half of the Epistles.
The editors of course would be
voted hopelessly old-fashioned by
such deep thinkers as R. t. Crane
and other foes of the classics. They
actually have the temerity to an
nounce their belief that readers OF
the present day can find something
worth while in Horace, and they
commend Horace's letters as reveal
ing his personality and his philosophy
of life. They have sought to present
number of these letters in form
of interest to the modern. public.
"This does not mean," they explain,
{" that we have tried to put the text
into superior English, or to adorr
and uplift it with the devises of lit
erary art. This is not needed ir
order to make letter of Horace''
readable and understandable. The
effort rather has been to give the
facts regarding the personality o.
the people to whom the writings
are addressed, to tell of the time anc
occasion Of writing and supply the
local, historical and mythologica
references, also to keep the threac
of the story and show the connection
of the reasoning"
The editorial work has been wei
| done, and the translations are praise
worthy.
A special feature of the book, anc
valuable feature, is its illustration
There are reproductions of nine o.
the copperplate engravings made by
Otto Vaenius about 1900, to illust
rate the apothegms of Horace, and
in addition, eight half tones, from
photographs taken for the volume
show the region of the Sabine Farm
In their introduction, the editors
write of the Sabine region, sketch
map of the country accompanying
this portion Of the text. In connec
ton with recent Investigations il
that region, it is of interest to know
that, in the summer of 1910, thu
editors ''obtained the services o
Signor Loescher, Of Rome, whc
sent photographer to the Sabin,
valley. He uncovered and photo
graped the long buried mosaic pave
merit OF the supposed villa of Hor
ace, and obtained other views of thu
more familiar points" These pic
lures are the halftones to which re
ference has been made.
