RECENT DEATHS.
Emma r. Fairbanks.

Emma T. Fairbanks, wife of Ed
ward 7. Fairbanks. died at her home.
Thursday, September 9Th. 1917. She
was horn in Montpelier, in 1874, was
married in 1852 in Derry. N. H., where
she had been educated at the Adams
French academy; and, except for two
years spent in foreign travel with her
husband she had passed the whole of
aer married life in this place.
Her spirit was one of singular
strength and sweetness. Shut in for
the greater part of her life and called
to suffer almost constantly for many
years, she made of he. seclusion "a
place of brightness and of cheer, CIV
ing. out her gracious, heartening in
huence through the spirit she i'm
parted to others. If ever a life was
| private hers was so; and yet in true
sense it was a public life, because,
through the words and acts of an
| other, she too was ministering. Deeply
! interested in the life of the comm unity
| though not permitted to have any WISH
| hle part therein, she found ways to
bring her interest home to the hearts
CT many by little unheralde.i acts o!

all her judgments, coasiderate i'll al
her conduct, bound to pain but never
giving pain to others, she has lett {
record Of cheerful and uplifting hour!
which, to those who did not know The
facts, would seem almost incredible
Her most faithful portrait is in thes'
two lines of Whittier:
"She kept her love of rectitude
With loves unconscious ease.
Her kindly instincts understood
All gentle courtesies.
And all her quiet life lowered on
AS meadow streamlets flow:
Where fresher green reveals alone
The noiseless ways they CO."

st. Johnsbury Academy Notes.


The seniors of the academy held
their class meeting Wednesday morn
ing for the election of officers. Sterry
Waterman was elected president.
Hazel Ramage, vice president and H.
S. Masse, secretary and treasurer.
During the week there were 295
students who registered at the ST.
Johnsbury academy. There is only a
small number of boys this year in
the senior class. This is due partly
to the number of boys who enlisted
last year in the naval reserve and
other branches of the service.
Friday night over 80 freshmen boys
gathered in front of the academy
buildings toward the courthouse wear
ing their old clothes and ready to un-
iergo the annual initiation into the
mysteries of freshman life as given
under the direction of the sophomores.

One husky freshman put up quite
a resistance but finally was persuaded
to take his medicine and have it over
with. The freshmen were dismissed
Immediately after the vorious plunges
had been taken.
Registration at the academy has
nearly reached the 800 mark and the
ic fair1U
tration in the commercial department
has reached a total of 10; in the new
department of domestic science SIS;
and in the manuel training depart
ment, So; thus demonstrating that the
pupils appreciate the business ) and
practical advantages which the acade-
my offers. These figures are very
gratifying in view of the largely in
creased registration of last year be-
cause of the abolishing of the ninth
grade in the elementary schools.
Principal Davis and his entire corps
of assistants are enthusiastically en-
tering into the work. Through an in
formal conference with the schoo
board an attempt is being made te
formulate a course Of study that will

The board of trustees of the acade.

principal and his assistants, and they
therefore cordially invite all citizens
of the town, old and young, and the

 What am trying to do? Am I trying to insinuate that love and marriage have gone out of fashion? Am trying to shatter all the beautiful ideals of life :? Certainly not; but this thing of a girl marrying a fellow just because he's got on uniform is tampering with very serious matter, and it's shattering my nerves, frazzling my temper and spelling my appetite. like to see people serious about serious things.

daily production of eggs. the ovary at this time presents somewhat the appear ance of a bunch of grapes. Each yolk Is attached to the ovary by thin sac, which is ruptured when the yolk attains it's normal size!
 AS the yolk bursts its sac and esca pes from the ovary, it Is swallowed in the wide, funnel-shaped mouth of the second organ of reproduction called the oviduct This is a large, coled tube about 70 inches long, whose function it is to se- crete sufficient albumen (white of egg) to form the egg, and to inclose it with two membranes or skins.
 Real Egg Size of Pea
 The true egg of the hen is not the large, shelled egg we know so well. It is small, light colored disc, not larger than a pea, which floats on the upper surface of the yolk, Before the germ can grow into chick during the process of incubation, it must be fertilized by a sperm cell. otherwise the egg is known as infertile or sterile
 The small germ must obtain all the protoplasm or material to form the body and feathers of the chick. and for it's nutrition during the three weeks hatch ing period from inside the egg Hence, there is a large amount of albumen sur- rounding the germ, which is converted into the body and feathers of the chick, and supply of yolk for its nourish- ment.

Impurities in the Air Shorten Animal and

By MRS. F. NELSON ANDREWS


 Realizing that thoughts are realities and that all things which have been ac- complished originated in thought, ven- ture to relate some strange ideas that have come into my mind and refuse 70 De put aside without expression I only hos e that they may attract someone who. can and will develop them for the benefit or mankind.
 During all the ages, the. air has been constantly filled with gases of all kinds. am told that in smoke from coal there are 2i2 known by-products. At Bessemer, where there are stationed many in dustrial plants of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company there are a0 by-products conserved Now, think of the nun1berless open ovens. countless, smokestacks, engines, etc., all over the country that use coal sending immense volumes of gases into the air, to be breathed into the animal system and also to penetrate vegetable life It seems to me that if there were some way of con serving these properties, wonderful dis coveries would result
 Let us reason g bit. Should we remain in our homes, with doors and windows closed i've would soon become sick, Again, if manufactured gas should be turned on in a closed room, all animal life within the room would be quickly destroyed. Then why should not animal hfe be af- fected when constantly surrounded by these poisonous gases in the air?
 In spite of wonderful scientific ad- vancement, human life is surely grow ing shorter: disease is not on the de- crease, for new forms are constantly ap- bearing Nose. ears. eyes. throat suffer more, and human vitality and power of endurance is less. Vegetable life seldom grows to perfection.
