The outlook for Vermont academy was never brighter than it is today. Money matters, the bane of all educational institu tions not largely endowed, wilt sion be adjusted and put on firm and per manent foundation. Du'ing the past eigrt months friends of the institution have been bard at work raising a permanent endow ment fund ; $58,000 has already been sub scribed, and last week the (rood news was received that John D. Ro kef 1 ler would give $15,000 provided $75,000 additional was received. This leaves $17, 000 to raise, and there ia no doubt what ever that the sum will be subscribed speed ily. ' With an additional endowment of $90,000 Vermont academy will receive the biggest boom in its history. Jeffries, The Champion. I Bellows Fal's people had a chance last Friday to crane their necks over James J. Jt Aries, champion heavy weight pugilist of the world. A crowd of srrall boys and a few others watched him and bis brother Jack dismount from the hack at Towns hotel and the huge proportions ot both elicited much admiration. About 5 p. m. the champion was seen going in the direc tion of the toll bridge for his daily five mile run ; for his enthusiasm for acting never runs aay with his enthusiasm for punch ing. Articles were jsigned in New York Friday tor a twenty round boxing match I between him and Gus Ruhlin in Cincin-1 nati, O., February 15. The play, "A Man from the West," ia which Jeffries is the f right, particular star, did not fill the opera house, yet attracted a good bouse. All were there to see Jtflries and many because they expected to see "the whole push," for the report was out that articles for a match with Ruhlin would be signed in Bellows Falls and that Brady, Sharkey and perhaps Fitzsimmons would be present. The champion is not much of an actor, and nobody supposed he was. The audience, however, neyer tires ot ad miring his huge stature and the exhibition of boxing given by champions who become actors for financial reasons are always drawing cards. The company with Jeffries, 1 however, was a good one, superior to many organized tor a sort of background for the pyrotechnics of champions and gave a good entertainment. Most of the audi ence seemed to think they had received the worth of their money with interest. A. P. Pollard is clerk in Hotel Belmont in Claremont. Mrs. F. L.

All who have been to Niagara know that the cataract is divided by Goat Is land, the larger portion of the fall be ing on the Canadian aide of the river. This part Is known as the Horseshoe fall and was so named because years ago It was Identical with a horseshoe In shape. A few years ago a. V shaped break occurred toward the Tew York side, and since then other changes have taken place, until today the Horseshoe fall Is more like Its original form, but clearly shows the effects of the wear ing of the waters. Many people fall to see how the fnlls wear the rock away, and this Is a little mystery until the exact conditions are realized. The ledge of rock over which the water of both the American and Horseshoe falls flow Is of hard lime stone. It is all of 60 feet thick and naturally very heavy. Underneath this ledge of limestone there are the shales of the Niagara locality. This soft rock Is many feet thick. The rock of the Horseshoe fall Is unprotected, and as the water falls over the precipice and bolls in the river below it washes away the soft shale' beneath the limestone, so that the limestone is left In sheflike form, projecting far out Into the gorge. Observant visitors to the falls have no doubt noticed this condition. In the course of time the shale foun dation of the limestone ledge is exca vated to such a point that the unsup ported ledge breaks away by Its own weight, and the crest line of the Horse shoe fall recedes so much farther. Then the water attacks the newly ex posed shale, and In time the process sutlined Is repeated. This has been go ing on for centuries, and It will con tinue until the falls of Niagara are no more. Philadelphia Record. The Preacher Wn Glad She Swore. The daughter of a well known clergy man In Washington had a severe at tack of scarlet fever when she was 3 years old which resulted in deafness. Up to that time she had bien a regular little chatterbox, doing her infantile best to carry out the proverbial: x Being a woman, she'll talk forever 1 Upon her recovery her parents were nearly heartbroken to find that she had not only lost her hearing, but the pow er of speech as well. Whether she had really forgotten how, to talk or whether It was obstinacy or lack of confidence they could not determine, but despite all efforts of the best tutors the child remained a mute. One day when she was nearly 10 years of age she was playing with a cat, and with as much cruelty as though she were of the sterner sex she used its tail as a handle with which to pick it up. The poor animal, not appre ciating the economic use of the afore said tail, inflicted a deep scratch across the chubby little hand. ' "Damn that cat!" she said, flingingIt down. And her father, devout clergyman s he was, clasped his hands and, ralelcj his eyes to heaven, exclaimed: , "Thank God, that child has spoken at last!" Detroit Free Press. ..- The House That Treaham Built. One of the curiosities' of architecture In England Is, according to The Stone Trades Journal, the house erected about 300 years ago at Rushton, in Northamptonshire, by Sir Thomas Tresham, a Roman Catholic, who wished by his design to typify the Trinity. The house Is all threes, has three sides, three stories and three windows on each flat, each of them In the shape of the trefoil the three leaved sham rock. Where the roofs meet rises a three sided pyramid, terminating In a large trefoil. The smoke escapes from this chimney by three round holes on each' side of the three sides. The build ing Is almost covered with mottoes and carvings, three Latin Inscriptions, one on each of the three sides, having 33 letters In each. Three angles on each side bear shields. Over the door is the text from the Vulgate, "There are three that bear record." Inside the house each corner is cut off from each of the three main rooms, so that on every floor there are three three sided apart ments. Architectural Oddities. At Frankfort-on-the-Maln there Is one street In which two houses on op posite sides of the street lean over so far that their roofs meet over the street. In one of these bouses Lord Rothschild was born. In Paris, on the other hand, it is noticeable that the builders intentionally construct the houses so that they lean backward slightly to add to their stability. But almost In the center of Paris there is one big stone building which leans out fully 3V& feet over the sidewalk. Bo olid, however, are the Paris buildings that this one is claimed to be safe.

A Tinker's Dam. There Is no profanity In saying that any certain thing "la not worth a tink er's dam," although It is so considered by many. The expression originated ninny years ago, when tinkering, or mending, leaky vessels was much crud er thau It is now. In former times the use of rosin to chock the flow of solder when placed on tin was not generally understood, at lenst by the fovlng tinkers. When one of these gentlemen of the rond found a job, such as mending a wash boiler or other tin household utensil, he would get from the housewife or domestic a piece of soft dough. With this he would build a dam around the place where he intended to put his solder. Inside of the circle thus formed he poured the melted lead. When the metal had cooled, he would brush away the dam of dough that had con fined It to the desired limits. The heat had hardened the heavy paste and baked it thoroughly, so that it was ab solutely of no use for anything else. It became one of the most useless things In the world, and there was not enough of It even to be worth while carrying to the pigs. Hence the expression, which was originally Intended to convey a certain idea, appears to have been retained, while the origin Is not generally known. Black Diamonds. Black diamonds are comparatively rare and correspondingly high priced. They are three or four times as hard as the white ones, and fire cannot harm them, however great the heat, but if a drop of water should touch them while heated they will explode and leave nothing but a little heap of sand In their place. Their beauty Is not remarkable, but on account of their extreme hardness they are invaluable for dressing sui faces impervious to the friction of any other material The largest black dia monds are set in the end of a round short bar of steel, with a handle of wood, and are used in dressing emery wheels that have lost their "trueness." A black diamond Is the only substance that will not be ground away by con tact with the emery surface. Black diamonds are also used as points In scoring pencils which are used by sealers of weights and meas ures to mark glass receptacles. They are used by dentists for drilling teeth before filling them with gold. In ap pearance they look more like a shining little splinter of iron or grain of coal than a precious gem, and their chief mission Is a distinctly commercial and not an ornamental one. Make a Pet ot the Bat. "As a matter of fact," says a coura geous writer In the Boston Transcript, "the common rat is a vastly more Intel ligent creature than the squirrel or the average cat. I am more than half con vinced that the resources of the rat as a household pet would if fairly tested prove very great The rat is undoubt edly capable of a higher and more Inti mate form of domestication than that which he now commonly assigns to himself. He Is at present a resident of our bouses on unwelcome terms, and he makes himself, quite naturally, as much an enemy of the household as possible. . "Let the rat be welcomed and made a friend of the family, as has been done In a few cases, and be becomes a dif ferent sort of fellow altogether. No longer forced to steal bis food, lie be comes a playmate and a companion. The sleek and well groomed gray rat Is, barring the ordinary baldness of his tall, quite as pretty and graceful a creature as the squirrel, and there is no reason why we should not become so much accustomed to the appearance of his tall that in time we should regard It as quite ornamental." A Morocco Superstition. In a pajief to the Anthropological in stitute Dr. Westermark showed from Investigations in Morocco that the Arab ginn, or gnun, is regarded as a special race of beings created before Adam, of no fixed form and assuming, like Proteus, who was perhaps a per sonage of the same extraction, almost any shape they please. Bad ginns at tack men, but are kept away by salt or steel and verses of the Koran. The author supposes that the belief In ginns has come down from a saltless and lronless age, but was absorbed and de veloped at a later time under the influ ence of Islam. To Punish Johnny. Francis Parkman, the historian, had a Mosaic idea of justice. A friend met him one day walking along the street leading a street boy with either hand. "What In the world are yoa doing, Parkman?" asked his friend. "I found that Johnny here had eaten all of the apple Instead of dividing with his little brother. I am going to bny another for the yonnger boy and make Johnny watch him while he eats It" What Was Wanted. "Please, I want a pennorth of er er I want er er" "Have yon forgotten what yon came for?" "Yes; that a what I wapt" "What?" "Camphor." Moonshine. Baby's Heed. Mamma We must get a nurse for the baby. ' Papa Nurse nothing! What be needs Is a night watchman. Exchange.

The largest city In the country In Washington's time was Philadelphia. It bad 6D.000 inhabitants. The World's Largest llopyarda. It is not generally known, but the largest hopyards lu the world are In California, along the Sacramento, Russian and Feather rlverB, and the very biggest hoptleld on earth is at Pleasnnton, In Alameda county, where there are 3C8 acres, with more than 445,000 vines under one wire. As the picking must all be done by band and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best an army of people has to be suddenly mustered for the harvest.. The mild climatic conditions that favor the de velopment of the hop and the pleasant inland valleys where it Is grown com bine to make hop picking something of a summer time delight, for the work is neither difficult nor arduous, and the pay is fair. There are but two drawbacks to hop picking. One is so called bop poisoning, which Is simply a sort of prickly heat or rash sometimes pro duced by contact of face and arms with the nettlelike fuzz on the stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark stain ing of the hands resulting from the .resin of the blossom. It may be re moved by rubbing with the crushed green leaves of the hop. San Francis co Chronicle. Turkey With Sausages. A turkey garnished with sausage has a very festive not to say bacchanalian appearance. Three-quarters of an hour before the cooking is finished festoon it with strings of link sausage. These you must turn from time to time so that every part shall be as brown as the bird itself. The better the flavor of the sausage of course the finer the flavor of the turkey. With this you will want giblet sauce made by stew ing and mincing the giblets and adding them to the gravy in the pan after the tit has been removed. Alarming Symptoms.
