A Splendid Tribute.

The governor Of Vermont received a
degree the other day from the Uniyer.
sity of Vermont. Perhaps nothing more
comprehensive was poured upon any for.
tunate during the degree season just
closed 1t deserves to be reprinted and
preserved as a perfect tribute to one
who is all that the university says he is:
Seer, patriot, statesman, educational
path finder, your new alma mater, the
University of Vermont, reioices to re-
gard you as a son, who, because of his
achievements, has registered his name
among the immortals of the common
wealth and of the republic.
BY the way, how many people are
there outside of Vermont who know
the name of the governor of Vermont 2

THEY NEVER SEE sP0OKs.
That is One Consolation That Color
Blind Persons Have.

Are you afraid OF the dark? There
isn't chance of you seeing ghost IL
you are color blind. which may furnish
you a ray of comfort for the beauties
Of landscape and floral decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime.
DR.. August hummer. head OF the
physical institute of the University of
Breslau. in Germany, is authority for
this.
Dr. hummer explains the phenome-
non In this way:
THE normal eye has an arrangement
Of tiny rods and cones In the retina.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When a person with a normal
eye tries to see In half dark place
the cones, which are useless, interfere
with the effective action Of the rods,
and consequently the confusion creates
the effect of apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
1.-THE color blind person lacks the
cones, and his rods act with extraordi-
nary efficiency in the dark. The color
blind person sees clear, permanent
outline Of things as long as there is the
least amount of light present. That
means that be never sees ghosts

ALESs DEADLY aFouRTH.o

The continued reduction of the deaths
and serious injuries resulting from In
dependence day celebration shows that
| the movement for a more sane cele-
bration OF the day is along reasonable
lines and ought to be prosecuted with
even greater vigor next year. The death
list last week, basing opinion on the
reports made early Saturday, is less
than one half what it was for the year
1911, while the list of the injured was
reduced in like proportion. This marked
change for the better is particularly no.
tieeable in the large cities of the coun-
try, in which the Fourth of July cele-
bration has been hedged about with Ger
tain restrictions, many of the great eli
les reporting no deaths whatever and
fewer injuries; but the districts more
remote from the large eenters of popu-
lation continued to give mournfu ac-
counts Of unwise participation in the
celebration of the eountry's birthday.
Therefore, it is apparent that the duty
OF the succeeding twelve-month is to
spread the gospel of the safe and sane
Fourth until the more remote districts
fall in line with the cities and extend
the wise hand of regulation over their
celebrators, who are too careless Of their
own safety to take the ordinary pre-
cautions. If that is done, there will be
no occasion to record even as few deaths
as sixteen, as was required on the day
following the holiday this year.
Particularly fortunate this year was
Vermont in the matter Of accidents Of
a serious nature, no fatality being re-
ported and even no serious injuries, the
celebrations in all the cities, villages
and hamlets being guided with greater
reason than usual and some of the more
hazardous implements of observance hay-
ing been eliminated. Evidently the day
is past when the youth of village
think they must do some foolhardy trick
in order properly to make it known that
nearly a century and half ago their
forefathers showed wisdom.

The Lincoln Memorial.

BY the choice of Henry Bacon as SUI
pervising constr ictor of the S20000OO
Lincoln memorial in Potomac park
Washington, the earlier acceptance of
Mr. Bacon's design is formally sealed
The good plans that slowly have been
taking form for three years, at times
put in peril by Philistines, as in the
threatening effort to spend the appro-
priation on a needless road to Gettys-
burg, can now be pushed with vigor and
with no fear of further disturbance.
Through pictures in the press and
through display of drawings and mod
els in the national museum, Mr.. Ba
cons design is already widely known.
It employs the Greek elements Of plat
form, column and architrave on scale
so large. in proportions so fine yet Sc
we're, with landscape setting in which
natural and formal beauties are so pleas
ingy blended, that without apparent ef-
fort it achieves the dignity demanded
by its purpose. In one of the House de-
bates, Representative Sherwood declared

fashioned perfume consequently arose,
and lavender growing has since then
been conducted on a larger scale.
Lavender is an evergreen shrub about
two feet high. with ayish green leaves,
and erect branches, giving it a bushy APP
pearance. 1t is native of the molsa
famous districts which fringe the east
ern half OF the Mediterranean, but grows
at its best in England, where the stalks
and flowers frequently bring nine or ten
dollars a pound, and sometimes much
more, A pound of flowers yields from
one-half to one drachm of oil, and an
acre from ten to twenty five pounds OF
flowers. The annual output of the stills
OF Grasse, France, is from eighty thous-
and to one hundred thousand Kilograms
of oil. Lavender s not grown on any
commercial scale in the United States,
but it grows freely in California and in
some southern states, and may be raised
in almost any home garden il the soil is
not too moist and rich. While it may
be successfully raised from seed, it is
best propagated from cuttings"

What Grandmother Says About Ribbons

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor
of the Woman's Home Companion, writ
ing an article entitled New Uses for
Ribbons" in the July issue of that pc
riodical, says in part:
"Some of the prettiest of the newest
fashions this season are really very old
ones-the use of ribbons as trimmings
for instance. Just look at the way
my new dress is trimmed with ribbon.
Isn't it the smartest newest thing out 2
says Granddaughter, and Grandmother
echoes, 'NewH Why, my child, fifty
years ago one of my best dresses was
trimmed with ribbon in exactly that
same wayi'
$50 much for the originality of the
thought back of many of the modes of
the moment. Nevertheless, | am delight
ed with the way the new ribbons are
introduced in our summer frocks, and l
am equally delighted with the ribbons
themselves. Ribbons as trimmings are
a success. A decidedly mediocre gown
is often transformed into distinctive
one by ribbon tellingly placed, but of
course it is the placing of the ribbon
that really counts"

as the public was permitted to know
through the medium of the newspapers,

eral air of brotherhood seemed TO per-
wade the entire assembly, Confederates
mingling with Union soldiers as if they
had fought in common cause fifty
years ago instead of being engaged in
terrible fratricidal struggle and each
showing the greatest Difference to his
old-time antagonist. 1t was worth
while to bring the old foes together that
once again they might sink their former

ton to the country which is equally

Observation Cars on c. v.

There has recently been published and
sent out from the office Of the secretary
of state, most beautifully illustrated
book entitled. Vermont the Land OF
Green Mountains and if the book were
given wide enough circulation, so admir-
ably is it written and so alluring are
the pictures within its covers il would
seem the state must overflow with sum
mer visitors from the hot, dusty cities,
seeking the shade of Vermont's pine
covered mountains and cooling streams.
The Central Vermont railway com
pany. also issued a charmingly illus
trated booklet some months ago, its
annual, inviting tourists and summer
visitors seeking rural solitude, to come
to Vermont.
These two books, and the publishers,
have done excellent work and should be
well acquitted but, there is another side
which we believe needs fully as much at
tenton We refer to the mode of trans
portation-
What about the manner of reaching
Vermont? Not all who wish to come
to the state are able TO come in auto
mobiles but If one wishes to see Yer
mont that is the only recourse they
have. Board a train and ride from the
southern part of the state up through
its entire length, and you win know but
little more of the beauties of the country
through which you are passing than be-
fore starting.
So far as we are informed there is
not an observation car on line OF
railway in Vermont. All through the
south and west the trains are elegantly
equipped, with library, writing desks,
field glasses, easy chairs, large side win
dows, and fine wide covered platform at
the rear of the train with screens and
railing where passengers may sit and
view the passing scenery. Vermont has
scenery unrivalled anywhere in the
United States and vet the tourist can
see but little OF it all. There is small
pleasure touring Vermont" on the rail
way trains, and yet how attractive il
could be made. Imagine an up-to-dste
observation car attached to the express
which leaves Montreal about o'clock
in the morning, the tourist could pass
the entire day out of DOORS and see
some of the most delightful spots in
the state. Then we would have an OBJ
servation car on the express, or the aft
ernoon mail going north.
If the Central Vermont railway would
so equip its trains it would do more to
enhance the value of its service. and
bring people through Vermont, and into
il, than by any other method of adver-
Using that could be used. Hundreds OF
people would we believe, come TO Yer
mont if transportation were made at all
attractive. Then why not an observa-
ton car on at least one train in Yer
mont
The West is ever alive to the best
methods OF advertising, and you will
see everywhere placards announcing the
train equipment, and it is most alluring.
This is a time of ease and an age of
luxury and Seeing Vermont from an
Observation Car would. we believe, be
the biggest advertisement the way com
panies could put out, aud incidentally
give the travelling public in and through
Vermont what almost every other state
in the Union is getting comfortable,

How Queen Victoria Made Lavender
Popular.

In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion, appears an article entitled Sweet
Lavender" an interesting extract from
which follows
England produces the finest laven-
der for commercial purposes, and there
the industry of lavender growing owes
its present prosperity to the patronage
of Queen Victoria. Not many years be-
fore her death the trade in English Law
ender water was practically killed by
German competition, and only few
old ladies who resided in Mitcham and
Merton continued to grow the plants
and distil the scent as their mothers
did. One OF these ladies conceived the
idea OF presenting her late majesty with
bottle of the home made scent. Queen
Victoria was charmed with her present,
sent the donor gracious letter, and
directed that in future Mitcham laven-
der water should always be used in the
royal palaces. A demand for this old

The practice march of Burlington
company of the Vermont National Guard
over route thirtyfve miles long and
on rations which are supplied only in
most rigorous camp life is calculated
to put the men in good physical eondi-
ton for the annual muster of the Guard
later in the summer. The line of march
was through one Of the most picturesque
sections of Vermont, viz, lower Lamoille
and upper Washington counties, and
the men must have enjoyed their trip,
barring the discomforts Of walking I'M

THE GETTYSBURG CELEBRATION.
The grand reunion of Union and Con.

semi-centennial celebration Of the battle
of Gettysburg last week was one of the
best events of the kind ever attempted
in\ the United States and the results
coming from the reunion are likely to be
found in a more solidly cemented coun-
try and greater patriotism to the stars
and stripes, while the JOY that came into
the hearts of the old soldiers at being
permitted once again to see the place
where they fought half a century ago is
another result not to be lost sight of.
That such a mammoth undertaking
should have been conducted with as lit
tie friction and with as little personal
discomfort as attended that reunion is
a matter for wonder and sincere con-
graduation. There were few untoward
