What Is q Vernouter?

(Syracuse, y. Y, ost-Standard.)
We are glad to note in the Vermont
Advance that what the Post-Standard
was saying few days since about the
idiosyncrasies and glories of the state
of Vermont represents the sentiments
of its inhabitants. Vermonters glory
in Vermont; they like it just as it is;
their only sadness comes from the fear
that others do not appreciate its Yer
nominees.
The Advance prints an interesting
piece about what Nermonters have
done in other fields of activity. 1t
mentions Louis Sherry, who came blame
near running Mr.. Delmonico off the
map of Broadway. 1t mentions George
Dewey, who added glory to his country
by telling Diederich where he got of.
1t mentions Eugene Foss, the most YER
satile candidate for whatever s loose

Ethan was born in Connecticut Out
of 40 Vermont governors only % were

The Cost OF Digging IN

(Des Moines, Iowa. Register Leader
1t is matter of curious interest to
know that twice as much dirt has been
moved on the western line OF the war
by the French and German soldiers i'll
preparing for trench warfare than was
taken from the Panama canal
For more than 800 miles from Swift
erland to the channel, four. five and
SIX trenches have been dug on either
side of the dead line. each trench av-
eraglng five and one half feet in depth.
dug by private soldiers with little war
spades, an expenditure of human eff
fort almost without parallel in peace
full times.
But curious as this item of the record
| may seem, how many as they fix their
| attention on it will consider for mo-
ment what it must mean to the perma-
lnent fertility of the richest plains Of
Europe which have suffered such an
Eenormous upturning of barren subsoils
| Those who have had occasion to note
the slow degrees by which our Iowa
Iclays, left in the process of surface
| drainage, take on a cultivated and civ
ilized appearance will be able to form
some notion of what is ahead of
France when the work of restoration
| begins. 1t will be years before the
farmer will harvest even half a crop
ION the acres of this trench warfare
If there were nothing else to con
denim the insane exhibition of folly
i'll Europe it would be the energy that
has been spent in destroying the fertii-
lily of France. If anything could be
tmore hopelessly and criminally ridicu-
Elous than living in bitches like rats, ii
would be the waste of energy expend-
ed in digging the bitches.

ROBINS AND The WASTE PIPE
How Eirds Arranged to Utilize The

solved this by boring a hole through
the floor of the room under the re-

with its small end through the hole

thereto and running it through Gel

to the muddy place and began wal
lowing very much like hen in an
ash bin, gradually working the mud
into a ball under her feet, when she
ran her bill through the center of
it and flew away to her nest. The
other robin did like the first, and
many times during the day ! saw
them carrying mud with which to
cement their nest. 1t was very dry
season, there were no mud puddles in
the streets, and the drip from our
refrigerator, instead of being wasted,
helped these little feathered friends

CEREMONY or REMOTE ORIGIN
Observance of Throwing the Dart Has
Long Been Matter of Course
in ireland and Italy.

In widely differing communities
Venice and Cork-there obtains
curious ceremony, that of throwing
the dart. In the first case this is
an ancient custom signifyiDg the
marriage Of the Adriatic. Every
year, since 1111, on Ascension day,
Venice has been made the bride Of
the sea, and the throwing Of the dart
is picturesque ceremony.
Equally interesting are the cir
cumstances attaching to the similar
functions on the first Thursday Of
September, in Cork harbor, Ireland.
BY virtue of a clause in the city char
ter the mayor of Cork is constituted
admiral of the port Every three
years he must evidence his jurisdic-
ton by throwing a dart into the sea.
At two O'Clock in the afternoon the
mayor, the town council, all the civic
officers and the band Of the Cork
Civil artillery embark on a vessel and
proceed to point between Poor head
and Cork head, which is held to be
the maritime boundary of the bor-
ough. The mayor dons his official
robes, and, attended by the mace and
sword bearer, the city treasurer and
the town clerk, likewise wearing
their official robes, goes to the prov
of the vessel and launches into the
sea a dart made Of mahogany, tipped
and winged with bronze, in this way
asserting his authority as lord high
admiral of the port.
