There is probably no meal where |

more appreciated than at the first

variety. One of the most appeuZlng

and in fact for any one, old or young,
is the whole wheat. Get it from the

GOOD WORK OF VERMONT JUDGES

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian re-
prints from the Burlington Clipper
the alleged finding of a member of the
bar, showing the number of decisions
10y Vermont superior court judges that
have been passed upon by the supreme
court, the number of such decisions
sustained and the number reversed.
The figures given are as follows: Judge
Miles, % cases sustained, ~ overruIed;
Waterman, SO sustained. Is overruled;
Taylor, 43 sustained, u overruled;
Stanton, II sustained, IA overruled;
Butler. p sustained 20 overruled; Fish.
seven sustained, two overruled.
This makes the total number OF
cases, according to the statistician.
which have gone before the supreme
court in a period of unnamed duration,
aI1s Of which only 1873, or IS per cent,
have been sustained The percentage
of correct work by the various
| judges" is given as follows: Miles, so;
Waterman, So; Taylor, 81; Stanton. "a ;
Butler, 81; Fish, -.
The Rutland News comes to the de
Tense of the Judges and shows that the
CALIFORNIAN fails to point out the fact
that only a small number of eases
determined by superior judges ever
reach the supreme court. Probably
less than 10 per cent of decisions are
carried to the higher court, for no ease
is taken up unless the defeated party
believes that he has u fair chance Of
winning, for. if defeated, he must pay
the accumulated costs. Then. further
more, every ease carried up contain.
at least one question of law upon
which lawyers disagree; most case,
contain many such questions.
When it is considered that a cas-,
that goes to the supreme court i,
.remanded if any one of many excep
tions is upheld, it can readily he seel
that the probabilities are that tn
superior judges have been sustaine
in practically % per cent or more o

The Gllbernatorial Bee.
est. Adams Messenger

The Burlington Clipper laughs with
itself at what it calls the vain at
tempts of the Republican press to drag
in some member of the party who Is
wiling to sacrifice himself by being 4
candidate for governor next year. Be
cause there has been much mentioning
in the state press Of late, coupled with
the fact that none Of the mentioned
have announced their candidacy, the
contemporary rushes to the conclusion
that there is not single big Republl-
can who wants to take chance. BE
not over solicitious, dear neighbor. The
bee is in many Il bonnet and the fact
that there are so many good men who
have aspirations acts as brake OF
other ambitious men who dream OF
hitching a handle to their names.

AN UNREASONABLE VERDICT.

\ New York state jury has rendered
verdict awarding damages in the
amount of $4,000 to q railroad brake
ian for the loss Of an arm. SO large
a sum is obviously excessive, and if
sustained by the higher courts, which

ion which viii work harm to future
claimants. The principle of compensa-
ion to employees for injuries sustained
while in the line Of duty is sound
one, but in its application there must
be such reasonableness as viii appeal
o the sense of fairness among the PEG
pie. As the Manchester Tniou-Leader
points out, $40. 900 is more money than
the brakeman would have been likely
to have earned in the remainder Of his
life. if he had not been injured He is
not even totally ineapacitated for
Iwage-earning. When a jury permits it.

against corporations rs such, or to he
carried away by sympathy, it inevita
/ bly, works injury to the cause Of the

A warning to Yeggmen.

The imposing of sentences varying
from two and one-half to three years
in the United States penitentiary at

I'll court at Rutland for burglary in

serve; of late years the pursuits OF

three respondents concerned in the
East Ryegate break, Judge Martin,
who was presiding over the federai

The fertility Of the soil Is not like .
bank account, which is tangible, In
sight, can all be drawn out at one or
more times or at will Of the pedosit-
ors, says the American Cultivator.
The soil is an investment with many
qualifying conditions. viz: Available
plant food, physical condition and
moisture These are in great meas
ure under the control Of the farmer.
Inasmuch as no plant has the ability
to make something out Of nothing.
each crop grown Of necessity must
take available plant food out of the
soil which never comes back in most
cases. In figuring the cost Of produc-
ton the value of the plant food taken
should be charged against the crop
just as much as that added in way of
manure of chemicals. In our expert
ence in footing the cost Of production
we have charged the loss OF plant food
against the crop grown in proportion
to the yield. In the legumes we have
credited the crop with the added nitro
gen. And that is not all the improved
physical condition of the soil has 3
value that cannot be measured.
If we are not going to charge the
crop with the lost fertility then we
should not credit it with the added.
Rotation of crops may enable US for 9
time to grow profitable crops, but
sooner or later our children or their
children will pay the penalty. Fertil-
Eity means a valuable asset In the
farmers hands.

in the Metropolitan:
"Yo1 are not so fortunate as you seem. You
have great deal OF sense. but more sense than
knowledge. You can give admirable advice to
other people. Your judgment is excellent as re-
CARDS others. but bad as regards yourself You
never value your own good advice. You are
fond Of your friends You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You are fond Of the
stage. You are susceptible to female beauty.
You witty. amiahle and well educated. but
You like coarse jokes You are superstitious and
believe in ghosts. You can make people laugh
You often pretend to be more foolish than you
are At other times you viii surprise people by
your power of apt repartee Your bane will be
your inclipation to fat which will hamper you in
fighting You are unsuccessful as soldier but
unrivaled as companion and philosopher. You
will mix in high society. have friends at court
You will come on badly in personal encounter
ard your final enemy win be king"
