Fourth of July in Vermont.

When July Fourth was getting near
A feller's days was filled with fear;
The Sunday school would have ride,
They said, and then 'twould be de-
MED;
A rumored mountain-climbing trip
Was nothing but a lot of lip;
But when the preacher, Mr.. Grout,
A-fore the sermon, give it out
There'd be picnic 'Pendence Day
We boys felt better right away.
We knew 'twould be in Walkers
woods,
Acrost the brook from Sukey Goodies.
She didn't mind, she used to say,
How much they heel-marked Walk
er's hay;
But there was lots and lots to do
To put the preparations through;
The Grange settees would have to go
To give the choir decent show;
The organ, too, or IneZ Spring,
Our off-key alto, wouldn't sing.
And first, a scout would go and look
To see if teams could ford the brook,
And then a gang to NOW the brakes
And cut the brush and kill the snaix;
The table squad took five or more,
The teeter force from two to four;
Another crew to rig the swings
Anu 1eCCH I06 uTl1klIlR water Lll0RS,
And, last of all, a special band
To build or buy a speakers stand.
Meantime, the ladies met to see
A-what the eating plan should be
Should famblys have a family lunch,
Or should the allies feed the bunch;
If pinkish lemonade was sold
The "traffic," sure must be controlled;
And then the speakers-Col. Jay,
Who came to town to play croquet,
Should he be asked, the rich old
thing!
Or should the choir jest sing and
sing.
The ladies also made it plain
The sugarhouse, in case of rain,
Would be the only place to 'scape
And ought to be a-put in shape;
Now comes the picnic-hear the fife,
And see the flags all full of lifel
But I'm as tired as / can be
A-getting up this picnic, Gee
It's took SO long I'll stop right here
And tell the rest another year.

Work ror Both Parents.

1t Is tfadirion that the father
should relegate the training of the
child to the mother. 1t is so much
easier than to expend the energy nec-
essary to cooperate. But would he
with as little compunction permit her
to run his business? In order that
the child receive a well-rounded train
ing, 1t IS essential for both parents ia
contribute their bit. What man
would enter business without careful
ly studying the materials concerned,
craftsmanship, advertising schemes,
etc. How many undertake parenthood
with as much knowledge and fore
thought? Neither father nor mother
makes much attempt to get acquaint.

Where Credit Is Due.

(The following from the Burling-
ton Free Press is of interest to our
readers, because it places credit for
the spendid work of local customs
officials where it belongs).
To the Editor of the Free Press.
l have read with interest a COM
munication in your issue of the 18th,
also of the 18th, in reference to the
efficiency of certain officers in this
customs district regarding the run
ming down of opium smugglers, and
notice that particular credit is given
Deputy Collector and Inspector Ad-
Olson II. King at the head of the
Montreal office.
l do not wish to detract from the
efficiency of Mr.. King as an officer,
but / do feel that in view of the ar
ticles above referred to the public
should know that he had nothing to
do with five of the cases recently dis
posed of in the United States court,
and that special credit should be
given to Deputy Collectors Stanton
E. Hitchcock of Newport, A. II. But
terfield and Harry A. Gilbert of
North Troy, and immigration Officer
C. E. Aver of Newport.

MANY USES FOR HOMEMADE
 GRAPE JUICES

Wise housekeepers can plenty of craze, but as fIavoring in various tempting desserts.
 Only clean, sound. we'll ripened, but not overripe. grapes should be used masher or some similar implement or the juice may be pressed out in an ordinary cider mill.
 Pour immediately into a glass or enameled vessel and allow it to stand overnight. Drain the juice from the sediment and run through several thicknesses of clean flannel Pour into clean bottles, leaving space at the top for the liquid to expand when hot. Put bottles on a false bottom in a wash boiler if no commercial pasteurizer is available, fill boiler with water to within an inch or SO of the tops of the bottles. Place a ther- mometer in one of the bottles and heat until the juice reaches a tenn perature of 1S0 degrees, then take the bottles out and seal or cork them inn mediateIy.
 Only new corks which have been soaked for 30 minutes in warm water at a temperature of about 14O de- grees should be used. It is well to take the further precaution of sealing the corks with paraffin or sealing wax to prevent the entrance of mould germs.
 Grape juice may also be made by- adding one pint of water to every five pounds of grapes. Concords and NJ agaras make an acceptable product. Crush the grapes. add the water. bring nearly to boiling point and strain. Add one-half cup of granulated sugar 10 every quart of juice. Bring just to a boil, pour into boiled bottles or cans. place in water-bath and boil 10 min utes; seal alright.
