Sheraton's Influence.

Thomas Sheraton, although cabi-
netmaker by trade. it Is quite probable
during his life in London, did not
actually produce any furniture. as his
time was too much taken up by his
occupation as Baptist preacher, trac-
tartan, drawing master, designer and
publisher to bestow any attention on
the manufacture or superintendent
of cabinet work. His "Cabinetmaker
and Upholsterer's Drawing Book" was
published first In 1891 and again In
1898 and 1902. He was possessed of
keen critical insight In matters per-
tanning TO high class cabnetmaklng,
combined with an excellent sense of
proportion, sound Judgment and puri-
ty of tas,e. and his influence on the
style of furniture IN the latter part of
the eish een;h century was exercised
through his dp'i ms and criticisms,
which had ~ little weight with the
cabinetm kc.S of his day. Suburban

Boosting the Grand List.

An increase of over 100000 in
Brattleboro's taxable property is
shown by figures made public by
the listers yesterday. This is larg-
err gain than was generally expected,
and indicates not only thorough
work on the part of the listers but
continued growth on the part of the
town itself. While the increase is
largely due to the new tax law by
which offsets are abolished, con-
siderable amount of new real estate
has come into the list and the num-
Der of paying pools is 155 larger
than last year. In view of this
increase it ought TO be possible to
make a material reduction in Brat
tleboro's tax rate at the special
town meeting to be held June 81. A
rate of $17 on a thousand would
rise as much money as was needed
last year and take care of the
five per cent state tax besides.
Whether this will be sufficient, how
ever, depends a good deal on the
amount of funds needed for neces-
sary Improvements. While We ought
to go slowly in the matter of inSreas-
ed expenditure IL must be remem-
bered that a growing town like Brat
tleDoro must keep pace with its
growth. Necessary improvements
must be provided for. but in every
case the necessity should be clearly
shown. Extravaganza and waste are
the things to be guarded against.
and we should bear in mind that
both are often the result of ineffici.

The graduation of forty pupils by
the high schools of this district and
the north village all on the same day
is a striking illustration of the way
high schools are growing not only in
Bennington but all over the country.
1t is only few years ago that If
both schools had a dozen or fifteen
graduates they thought they were do
ing pretty well. IL is not that there
are any more children of high school
age than there used to be but that
more and more of them attend
school more regularly and longer
than they used to and the result has
been the great growth of the high
schools. Another thing in this state
that will still further aid the eiemen-
tary schools is coming to be under
stood by the people OF Vermont.
This state is at the present time
giving a little over one hundred
thousand dollars year to the three
colleges in the state. All of this
money or nearly all of It should go
to aid the elementary schools for "a
per cent of our young people are in
the elementary schools and only six
per cent in the colleges. The Ban
ner some time ago pointed out that
the worst iniquity of the last legisla-
ture was TO increase the appropria-
tions for the colleges when the ele-
mentary schools, and especially the
rural schools in the poorer towns
needed the money so much more.
The truth of this view is coming
to be recognized and we shall be
disappointed If the legislature in the
near future does not correct this
evil. And when it is corrected the
high schools will be still further
increased.

THE MAN IN THE ORIENT.
He Walks Ahead of His Wife to Guard
Her From Danger.

ncT EToU bdHSSis
When husband and wife go travelling
together in the orient the man walks
in front, careless and free, and the
woman walks behind, carrying the
bundle. Therefore you say: "The
oriental cares not for his women. He
despises his wife and uses her as a
beast of burden Most occidentals
never get further than that. But If
you are observant you go out in the
jungle yourself, and you discover
things. When you walk abroad there
are difficulties and dangers. The paths
are overgrown and thorny, creepers
must be driven off, and buffaloes are
ugly creatures.
In the villages are village dogs which
snarl and snap. You are man, yet
you will be glad of some one to go In
front of you with Ratchet to clear
your way No woman would walk in
front, and the man must be free. Now
you see the reason why the man walks
In front. If you want to confirm 1t
you inquire anu huu thHt 'hiS 10 iuS'
Thus the japanese, the Burman, goes
In front of his wife for the same rea-
son that the occidental goes behind
from courtesy. If he continues to do
so when it is unnecessary, as in towns
where there are roads, 1t is because a
convention once formed is hard to
break, east or west-H. Fielding Hall

EVILS OF EYE STRAIN.

ness and indigestion.


When a child begins to screw up its
eyes to elevate and depress its eye
brows, to wrinkle its forehead, to
blink, TO push forward It's head when
looking ut things. then suspect eye
strain. Among the many troubles
caused by eye strain are headaches,
dizziness, indigestion and so called bill
Ous attacks
Eye strain is really a WEAKNESS Of
the many nerves that supply the small
muscles Of the eyes. II there be any
abnormal optical conditions. such as
errors of refraction, found in myopia,
or shortsightedness and hyperopia. or
long sightedness. imperfect balance OF
asymmetricaI curvature of the cornea
these muscles try their best TO correct
the trouble. but soon tire OF the effort
and give II up. when the blurred i'm
ages Of irregular diffusion are left to
irritate the retina. As one-fourth OF all
the cranial nerves are devoted TO the
eyes one can scarcely wonder that
headaches are the result of eye strain.
That backwardness In school work Is
often due to eye strain Is well known
to up TO date educators.
1t is claimed by some medical men
that the majority OF children who are
rated as mentally defective are not
suffering from weakness OF intellect.
but from defective sight, that can be
cured by glasses.-New York World.

Exercise and Health.

There was bank clerk who saw the
men OF his own age losing health year
by year through overwork. indoor Sc
dentary life and lack OF daily exercise.
He saw them growing yellow and fab-
by and unfit and the spectacle didn't
attract him. He decided that success
had better come late or even not at
alr rather than at the price Of ruined
body. Health became 10 him the

that during the past few years the
local regulations of towns and cities
cutting out the use of dangerous ex-

fifteen hundred. The authorities OF
