Decline in Creameries.
( Northampton Gazette.)

The Hartford Courant- observes Il
tendency of the creameries to give up
business in Connesticut, and the same
thing is observed not only in Massa-
chusetts, but even in the far north by
Vermont and New Hampshire. The
number of milch cows is also decreas-
ing rapidly in this state and in others.
Those that are left cost more to buy
by so per cent and much more to feed.
The demand for milk grows as cows
decrease, and the creameries are quit
ting operations because they cannot
compete with this demand to get a
sufficient amount of cream TO. make
their business profitable.

which Disraeli talked and laughed with
the greatest enjoyment But ] remem-
Der how in the pauses Of the converse

eye, dreamily surveying the landscape,
would make some such observation as

The plan to organize q general staff
for the navy, known as u bureau of
operations, to be conducted under the
command of a chief of
operations and only under the general
Of the secretary of the
navy, seems to be in fair way of be-
ing adopted by Congress. 1t appears
to contain the elements of great inn
provement in the efficiency of the
naval establishment. Certainly the ten
dency of the measure cannot well fail
to be to make it impossible for politi-
cal experts and accidental fad
dists in the navy department from
muddling in technical matters outside
of their training and capacity. The
measure promises, for the first time,
to place the immediate control of the
feet provided by the nation IN the
hands of men whose education and ex-
perienee fits them for the job. The
new plan has repeatedly been referred
to as being German in its character. Il

Montpelier's fire loss of S225,0O in a
year is a big sum for a small city. 1t is
explained in large part by the statement
that in one fire property valued at $175,-
600 was destroyed. Casual observation in
dicates that the capital city has some ex-
tremely bad fire hazards at the present
time. If Montpelier had been called upon
to raise S225,0O0 for some important i'm
provement in l. months the proposition
would have looked like a heavy burden.
We are inclined to minimize the effects of
fire loss for the reason that insurance is
paid to the immediate losers. But insur-
ancc does not reduce the loss 1t simply
spreads out the expense among numerous
policyholders.

Primitive Aids to Siaht.

Simple yet effective aids to sight
