Mr.Walter Norris of Weatfield, Mass.He speaks of the High School, basket ball team, of its success during the two years; it has lost one game in the last two years, having won ten straight games this season.Westfield has always been à great baseball town as well.\u201cWhy are politics bad,\u201d was the question.with a big interrogation mark following it at the Congregational Church last Sunday evening.Like all of these talks, there was no evasion, the cold facts were given and the remedy, that all know is sure to cure, and so few are willing to administer personally, were clearly and ably given.One statement of fact was far reaching in its import: Today the office doesn\u2019t seek the man but the man seeks the office.To the majority of citisens to-day\u2019s methods of obtaining an office are perfectly justi- flable.We hear of the man that is willing, if his friends, the people, are really anxious that he should; when the bald facts are, that the slate was made up at the last convention and hong up in his back office to be brought out on the date named in the make-up and the people learn that they are to be favored with an opportunity to vote for the candidate named by the coterie running the machine.There were many things said Sunday evening that should be bulletined and every voter given an opportunity to think this problem out for himself.The sub heads of the pastor's talk were: \u201cBigotry, business and boodle,\u201d each a shadow and menace to right in TOWN TOPICS.Mr.J.G.Brown of Bigelow & Dowse Boston, Mass, is in town today.Mr.G.A.Houghton of

Henry Munderloh of Montreal, who is a son-in-law of the late Mr.Blackadder and owner of the adjoining Blackadder quarry property.It is quite likely that shore lots will be offered for sale to people in Montreal.Mr.Munderloh was in town at the end of last week in connection with the purchase.Rev.Father F.X.Cruveiller, tbe pastor of the R.C.Church, gave his choir a fine outing Tuesday evening, sending them to Newport in two teams, and he provided excellent refreshments for them at Newport in the hall of the church, where they were giving a whist party.Eighteen young people went down and they had a very enjoyable time.It wasa very graceful thing for their pastor to do, and is worthy of emulation in our villages.The Olympics played the Sherbrooke Intermediate Hockey Team at Sherbrooke last evening.When they played the locals here, they gave as the reason for their defeat, the smallness of the ice.We have not learned the excuse for last evening's defeat on the foe in their own back yard, but to an oid farmer up a tree b\u2019gosh, we have an impression that they are outclassed, the score gives us an inkling that way; look at it: 15 to 5.Six straight.Every game won so far this season.Keep up the good work, for you are adding to the reputation of Three Village Goods.Haying, well that\u2019s simply our side line.Mr.Karl O.Balch ot Boston was in town yesterday.All the

major portion of our force were off duty through illness.We find we have some mighty good neighbors over at Barton.OLYMPICS VS MAGOG.The game between the Olympics and the Magogs, at the rink, on Saturday eveping, was worth seeing, and it showed more than ever that our boys are playing hockey better and better each game.The locals outclassed the visitors at every point in Saturday evening\u2019s game, but it wasn't a bad game and the audience was fair.The last halt of the game was real hockey and all enjoyed it.The record at the close was 7 to 3 in favor of the Olympics.What we need now is a game with Lennoxville to get the crowd and keep the tension.The line-up was: Stanstead Magog Daly goal Marshall Taylor .point Mullins Molntosh © point J.Connor Bassett rover Moore Lacass

its Swaddling Clothes.Mr.Glen King Stimson met a good audience at Pierce Hall, Tuesday evening, and he made a good beginning as a lecturer on and demonstrator of the childbood of electricity.The stage was well supplied with the needed appliances for making very understandable and ipteresting the import- and steps of electrical development.The lecturer gave Thales the honor of being the first electrician of record, and touched upon the work of Gilbert, Bacon, Faraday, Gray, Galvan, Volta, Ohm, Franklin, Morse, and those more familiar to us all, that have accomplished such wonderful things iu the last thirty years in the application of this remarkable expression of energy.It is our purpose in mentioning this lecture to say a few things that may seem extremely critical, but it is the province aud duty of a newspaper to speak out, tell the truth as it sees it and let the \u201cchips fall were they belong.\u201d We are aware that Mr.Stimson was not over confident in manner and as he said at the outset, did not pose as an orater, but we are quite confident that he is a gentleman, a product of liberal educational opportunities, perfectly familiar with his subject, home with every appliance on the nothing particularly new in what he said and proved by demonstration, it was neverthless an enjoyable evening.The speaker got his bearings Tuesday evening and learned a few important things himeelf, he wasn\u2019t quite the master of the situation that he will be the next time he gives the lecture, and will doubt less find it advisable to have an assistant to handle his apparatus, and he will see that his \u2018Powder is dry.\u201d For those who chose to poke fun at some of his failures in demonstration we felt a deep chagrin, that the things we saw and heard could occur in an audience made up so largely of the students of the institution that hae our kindest interest and regard; it was a discourtesy to the speaker, the faculty, and every eelf respecting student and citizen present.It is impossible to find a place in life where discourtesy is anything but the fruit of ill breeding and a passport to failure.It is not necessary for us to review in detail the many interesting features brought out by Mr.Stimson, it is sufficient perhaps to say that he gave the A.B.C.of the science in a way to enlighten anyone there for that purpose.BUNKER HILL.As foxes are getting scarce it seems that there are other animals to take their place.One day last week Mr.Andrew Wade and Jobn Heath started out fox hunting.They came across a strange animal which gave them quite a chase, but the chase waa too warm for the animal and he had to take a tree where he was found and shot.The animal proved to be a wild cat which weighed twenty-five pounds.The friends of Mr.Orville Wade were very sorry to hear of the serious accident that occurred to him one day last week.A tree fell on him while he was working in the woods, We wish him a speedy recovery.Mr.John Norris has returned home after visiting at Mr.Jim Webster's for a fow days.\u2019 ° BOYNTON.Mr.T.Brainard who brought the remains of his wife here for interment in the Ticehurst cemetery, returned to New ¥ork

the old people to the great delight of all present.The music was farnished by Borden\u2019s orchestra.During the evening Mr.John P.Paquette, sec.of St.Joseph\u2019s Bociety, in a few well chosen words, presented the bride and groom on behalf of the society and friends with a purse containing $50 in gold.Another gift of 810 in gold came from Mr.Peter Al- lard and two sons.Mr.Allard is 72 years of age and Mre.Allard 69 years.They have lived here about 20 years and have been people of excellent citizenship always industrious and thrifty, and this gathering of friends gave them a great deal of pleasure.The Journal wishes to extend well wishes to these old people, wishing for them many more years together.WAY'S MILLS.Mr.and Mrs.Ed.Perry and Miss Marion of Libbytown have been recent guests at

that when Emperor William learned that Theodore Roosevelt would visit Berlin on his return from the wilds of Africa, he immediately planned to entertain the ex-president of the United States at the Royal Palace with all the pomp and splendor usually accorded a visiting monarch.Colonel Roosevelt would not consent to be entertained that way.He insisted on stopping at a hotel, but would be delighted, if agreeable, to drop around at tbe house and have a quiet little chat with William and Mre.William.So it is left that way, and it is safe to say that the two most strenuous and conspicuous men of today, with so many characteristics alike and pronounced ideas in common as to good citizenship, wonld thoroughly enjoy and profit by an exchange of views absolutely unhampered by the glittering ceremony of the German count.No doubt what they would really enjoy best of all would be to get off by themselves, in a secluded spot,-in one of William\u2019s big wood lots, where they could sit down on a log, take a cold bite of ham sandwich and hard boiled eggs, talk of guns, and swap experiences.Just ordinary citizen *\u2018Ted\u2019\u2019 Roosevelt and lain \u2018Bill\u2019

fault of the sturdy oung bachelors of Dayton, Wash., if do not find the amiable wives they seek.The mews of the bachelors\u2019 ¢lub here recenily ham gone abroad, and letters pour in at the rate of a doses a day telling about young women who are willing to come to Dayton to become the wives of prosperous young men.The most impressive of them all is a letter from a school teacher in a small town in Vermont, containing a sort of round robin with 47 signatures in feminine writing.The letter does not say whether the document was voted upon at a meeting or circulated from house to house, but it says that the signers are all interested in the Blue Mountain bachelors.The 47 Vermont girls are willing to become Western wives.Charles W.Gates, We are inclined to believe that the demand for C.W.Gates, the present state highway commissioner, as a candidate for governor is going to be too atrong for him to resist.Mr.Gates is not seeking the office, eyi- dently preferring to keep on with his present work.But there is no denying the fact that there is a strong popular demand that he become a candidate.Mead is building up hie support as a candidate in about the same way that he would handle a business proposition.Fleetwood, so far, is apparently failing to arouse much enthusiasm over his candidacy, though we hope he is preferred by a majority of the people over Mead, but if Gates becomes a candidate it will be because he feels that the people of the state desire him to enter the race.The Barre Times says: \u2018The Times believes the voters of the state desire a more aggressive man than eitber, and that such a man can be found in CO.W.Gates, the present state highway commissioner.\u201d The Brattleboro Phoenix says: \u2018\u2018As against Mead and Fleet- wood we believe Gates would be a winner.\u2014Lyndonville Union.U.S.TOLL TO CANADA.More than $90,000,000 worth of Americans were exported to Oanada last year.That, at least, is the effect of emigration from the United States to Canada in 1909, according to the report of Consul Harry A.Conant, of Windsor, Ont.The total number of emigrants from this country for the year wae 90,148 and the Canadian immigration commissioner has estimated that the average wealth of these American settlers was 81000.\u2018There are several reasons advanced by authorities for the large increase of immigration into Canadian territory,\u201d says Consul Uofant, \u2018\u2019but the one given the most credence is the easy manner in which homestead lands can be obtained and the inducements held out to prospective settlers.\u201d A GREAT FEAT._Under the caption \u201cWhat has been done in six months\u201d the Montreal \u201cWitness\u2019\u2019 has issued a brief statement to ite clientele, that admirably serves to summarize the activities of this truly great newspaper.We reproduce this summary in part for our readers: \u201cThe \u2018Witness\u2019 has been reorganized and revitalized in all its departments.Editorial and reportorial staffe have been augmented by the most experienced men to be procured.The Advertising Department has been placed under an advertising manager with 25 years\u2019 experience in Canadian advertising.The size of the \u2018Daily\u2019 and \u2018Weekly Witness\u2019 has been almost doubled.The effects of the recent disastrous fire which destroyed the \u2018Witness\u2019 building and plant have been largely overcome, Upwards of $15,- 000.00 have been spent in exploiting circulation.The most modern presses, type, and equipment have been installed.The circulation of the \u2018Daily\u2019 and \u2018Weekly\u2019 issues have been increased by thousands.The advertis ing bas increased over 30 per cent.\u201d The Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 is indeed an ideal family newspaper, maintaining at all times a high moral standard, its news reliable, well-arranged, and its editorials acknowledged on all sides to be \u2018at once fair and forceful.\u2019 The very high place the Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 holds in public, esteem was well shown by the chorus of sympathy and appreciation evoked by their disastrous fire a few months ago, and admiration wae very generally expressed for the vigor and energy displayed in grappling with the problem of reorganization.Most of our readers want a Metropolitan paper as well as the indespen- sable local newspaper and they cannot do better than take the \u2018Witness.\u2019 The price of the \u2018Daily Witness\u2019 is $3.00 a year, and of the \u2018Weekly Wit- nees and Canadian Homestead,\u2019 81.00 a

those in Now England, and in the eastern half of Onnada, have made a rate of a fare of one-half.The Chicago Cement Show has come to be one of the big events of the year, and is attended by over 100,000 people, from all portions of the country.People, ordinarily, do not realize the importance which the cement business is assuming.At this show there are enough exhibitors to\" entirely fill the first and second floors of the big Coliseum in Chicago, including also both floors of the Annex.\u2018The Show is educational in its nature, and intended to illustrate and exploit the countless uses

an important bearing on the position of the United States in the Orient.Whether or not the United States government can accede in full to the requests and suggestions of the Chinese, it can hardly escape responsibilities as the next friend of China, which position it occupies today, even without any formal declaration such as is forecasted.Sooner or later there will be call for positive signs of that friendship.Diplomatically, at least, the United States will be called on to interfere to protect China from the greed of other nations.But such an appeal as is reported as coming from Pekin will emphasize this responei- bility and may serve to hasten action under it.\u2014Boston Herald.OLIVER.Received too late for last week.The people of this place were shocked to hear of the sudden

retiring bathe the face with warm water, then massage for ten minutes.Pay special attention to the lines under the eyes.Use a rotary motion and work from the center of the forehead out to the temples.Then from the chin up to the eyes, slide the fingers down and work up again until the entire face has been gone over.Massage under the eyes from the nose out to the temples.Once each week, cleanse the face with the cleansing cream, steam for ten niin- utes, dry the face and massage for -ten minutes; wipe the cream off and then use the tollet water.The cleansing cream should be used each night before the massage.In the morning bathe under the eyes with cold water.- Massage Cream.Oil of sweet almbnds, 80 minims; Fresh cucumber juice, 1 ounce; Lano line, 4 drams; Oil of rose, 4 drops.Tollet Water.Elderfiower water, 3 ounces; Dis tilled water, 2 ounces.Cleansing Cream.Oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces; Or ange flower water, 4 ounces; White wax, 2 ounces.Hints for the Beauty Seeker.If you do not want your face muscles to sag, always wipe the face diagonally upward from the mouth toward the temple.; - Aimond oil rubbed into the neck will help to fatten it, and build up tissue.In bathing the face with milk each night, allow it to dry on.This helps make the skin soft and white.Massage often helps to dissipate the puffy bags or sasks under the eyes.It is well, however, to consult a doctor, as they may be caused by kidney troubles.Be sure to have the finger tips and nails absolutely clean before massaging the scalp.Many microbes accumulate under the nails.Sensitive feet can be much relieved by inassaging with campohrated oil.If you want to keep a good figure, do not acquire the habit of sitting un- ocorseted on hot Summer days.To make a good bran bag, add to a pint of bran, a teacupful of soap bits, which are later powdered, and a ta dlespoonful of borax: This mixture oan be divided and put into any convenient sized bag of white lawn or & elose cheese cloth.Cleansing the face several times & day with pure olive oil is excellent for a dry, harsh skin.Stop using water for a time.Depilatory.The preparation given below will remove the hair for a time and when ft returns you can use it again.A good operator with the electric needle should be able to remove the hair permanently.Depliatory Powder.Orpiment, 1 part; Powdered starch, 10 parts;

water to cover it, then add the glycerine next the remainder of the rose water.Shake well and apply with a soft sponge or an antiseptic gauze.The face must be well wiped off before the Hquid dries or it will be streaked.Large Pores in the Nose.The friction of a complexion brush fs the best cure for this trouble.One may find a good complexion brush at any first-class drug store.Scrub the face with it every day in warm water with a pure soap, rinsing afterward in several clear waters.Gradually the pores will resume their normal size, but it takes time and the treatment must be kept up.Do not use the brush if there is any eruption on \u2018he nose.Walt until the eruption has disappeared, or the brush will irritate it further.About Warts.\u2018The coincidence between warts and constipation has often been noticed by those who have made a careful study of the skin.Treatment directed to the correction of intestinal sluggishness has been followed by disappearance of the warts.Falling Eyelashes.Use ordinary yellow vaselfne on the eyelashes every night before retiring.In the morning bathe the eyes with hot water.Removing Superfluous Halr.Superfluous hair can be permanent ly removed

possesses the remarkable property of giving off a shower of sparks when struck lightly by a steel wheel.This substance has been employed for making auto-ignit- ers for gas-burners, miners\u2019 acety-

me.I know that I will not be a burden on them.I have no relatives.\u201d When he left the prison and boarded an electric car for Leavenworth Rodgers's face wore a constant smile.He laughed at any and everything.When he boarded a passenger train for St.Joseph he said he was sure enough beginning to feel that he was free.On reaching St.Joseph he went to the home of Mr.Artlip, & prosperous shoe merchant, Where he revelled In a Thankagiving-dinner.Rogers felt that he was & martyr; that he killed a man to protect a woman, and that he acted an honorable part instead of committing a crime.He considered himself high above Harry Thaw, whose pleas of justifica ton he said were contemptible.The defenseless woman Rodgers refers to as protecting, married nineteen years ago, and has a family of chil dren.She lives with her husband and famiiy in the State of Wisconsin, and will not likely have any part, one way or the other, in the remainder of the life of the old man.The crime which Rodgers committed in the spring of 1890 is as follows: He was courting à girl when her step father, Littieton Wallace, objected, and demanded that his attentions cease.The mother of the girl favored Rodgers as a suitor for her child, and domestic trouble followed.Rodgers, the mother aad the sir! left Finaliy.brought to the penitentiary, and remain one year and then to be executed at any time after when the Governor fixed the date.None were hung since 1873, as no Governor ever set à date after a prisoner started serving time in the penitentiary.At one time there were sixty-five \u201chang\u201d or death convicts in the Kansas penitentiary.Rodgers being free to discuss the killing of Wallace, maintained that Wallace was conspiring to ruin his stepdaughter, and that the mother of the girl knew it,-and that she, as well as the girl, appealed to Rodgers to save her.He claimed that when he visited the Wallace farm near Fort Scott, Wallace was so enraged over the balking of his plans that Wallace started at him with a cane, and the killing followed.Teachers Buy Plano with Nut Profits.West Orange, N.J.\u2014The teachers of the St.Mark's Public School want ed a piano, but they had no funds and they got it straight from the Board of Education that there was nothing doing this year In the piano line.Therefore they purchased some Taw pea nuts, roasted them à l\u2019Italiene and sold them at a good profit to the pupils and their friends.They now have the piano.NEW KINK FOR SKATERS.Fifth Roller Alde Them In Stopping and in Fancy Figures.The fifth wheel to a wagon has long been sited as typical of usefulness, but the fifth wheel to a roller skate, as arranged by a Pennsylvania man, has several uses.This fifth roller is fastened below the front portion of the skate body and is on an axis that is parallel to the latter.It revolves about this axis in a direction transverse to that taken by the supporting es Skate Attached with Extra Wheel.rollers, and under normal conditions is held above the floor level.By means of this extra roller a skater can stop quickly Ly bending one foot forward In such a manner as to act as a brake, the fifth roller rotating and saving him from a stop so sudden as to unsettle his equilibrium.At the same time it saves the floor.Fancy skaters will find this device a great advantage, as it will enable them to pirouette shout on their toes and cut all sorts of elaborate figures which they dared not attempt before.The extra wheel should also make it easier for beginners to learn how to use roller skates.\u2014Washing- ton Star.A novelty in a table crumb brush is fashioned after a carpet sweeper.It is made of brass.The fashion in birthday cakes has whiffied and now one candle for the whole life is the thing.A piece of asbestos or of leather is excellent to slip between the filling when making iron holders.By soaking beans, peas, and other dried vegetables thoroughly much fuel will be saved in the cooking.Warm water should be used with yeast, while with cream of tartar and soda only cold water should be used.Fried Spinach Pie.Clean and cook one-half peck of spinach.When cooked chop, but not too fine, beat three eggs, add three tablespoons olive oil, two cupfuls grated bread, one cupful grated cheese then the spinach, Salt and onion sliced very fine should be add: ed after the former ingredients have : been mixed, and mix again thoroughly.Parcischan cheese is the best to use.Put on a Irying pan in olive oil or butter, if preferred and fry until almost cooked, then form into a sort of pie shape and brown on both sides.After one side has been browned, it can be turned over hy placing a shallow plate on top and quickly turning it downward, holding both together.This mixture can be used to stuff fowl, To Clean Tubs.A piece of steel wool will remove stains or lime deposited by water on tubs, basins, sinks.it will also clean refractory cooking utensils which have been burned.The same piece may be used over and over.A pound of this steel wool, which will last a long time, may be obtained at any paînt store for about 40 cents.Don\u2019t Use Feather Duster.Don't dust your furniture with a feather duster,

housewife\u2019s burden and add to the attractiveness of the dinner table is the butter cutter devised by two men in the State of Washington.Nor is this cutter useful in the home alone.In fact, it is probably of more real use in hotels and restaurants, where many pounds of butter have to be cut in a day, and where an equal portion to every customer is a diplomatic necessity.The apparatus consists of an oblong frame, slightly larger than a pound of butter, with handles at each end.Running through the center of the frame lengthwise is a thin sharp strip of metal, the edges pointing out.At right angles to this, and crossing the frame at close intervals, are other Kknifelike atrips.over a pound of butter and pressed down through it dividing the lump into about two dozen equal squares.CLEARS UP ALL BAD ODORS.Nothing Better Than An Onion to Purify Atmosphere.Everyone knows that an onion has a distinct and unpleasant odor, whether cooked or raw.But everyone does not know that this odor of an onion will draw to it every other disagreeable odor and clear the house atmos phere in a day.The onion can then be thrown away and with it go the disagreeable smells that come about in a house that has been closed for the summer, And this is also a good thing to know: That it will absorb all the odor from fresh paint and turpentine.If the house has been freshly painted and cleaned for the season's occupan cy, the people moving into it will be miserable with the smells that come from the walls and floors.One onion should be cut into small pieces and placed about the room In two or three saucers.Allow an onion to each room and let the saucers remain there over day and night.If every bit of odor hasn't gone in that time put a few fresh pieces in for the next day.Modue Vivendi.The term

Away with cowardice! Away with hypocrisy.This fs their best, their only chance of regeneration.Nothing will ever come from duplic- lty save dishonor and ruin.The soldier who rudely smote Christ on the cheek did not inflict a tithe of the agony which followed the kiss of Judas.Compromisers are Judases every P.A.Bissonnet\u2019s Liquidating Sale., Boots Having decided to sell out all and Shoes, | will sell them

is better than truckling, and even the honor that is found among thieves is honor of à kind, whereas knavery is always degradation.While angry with your brother the sacrifice you place upon the altar is insult, and the widow's mite counts more with God than the mammoth bequests to church and to charity extended by hands tainted by the oppression of the laborer and the orphan.Let, then, every man unmask.Who Is to be the master\u2014God or Mammon?Let each one be mercenary and adhere to the employer who gives the bigger, the better wages.What stipend does Mammon offer and what is the security?The collateral is uncertain, and in the end slavery, not freedom, and servitude the vilest.Is there a human being so prone as the slave of wealth, and of nll that it inspires and procures in the way of pleasure and crime?What does it not do against sense and brain and heart, bringing disease and madness and cruelty?What remuneration does it even promise to render after death?God's hire is exceeding great\u2014here freedom and not chalns; hereafter a compensation which eye hath not seen nor ear heard nor mind conceived.With this master no panic, no fallure, no bankruptcy.He will not

Faith.The mind never puts forth greater power over itself than when, in great trials, it yields up calmly its desires, affections, interests to God.There are seasons when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act.Composure is often the highest result of power.Think you it demands no power to calm the stormy elements of passion, to moderate the vehemence of desire, to throw off the load of dejection, to suppress every repining thought, when the dearest hopes are withered, and to turn the wounded spirit from dangerous rev.\u2018eries and wasting grief to the quiet

Vegetarianism May Boost Price of Footwear.There are six really big shoe fae tories ia the United States.These turned out $5,000,000 pairs of shoes last year.Shoes to the value of $10, 000,000 were sent abroad, and the remainder, \u2018valued at $340,000,000, were used in this country.Although the trade in rubbers increases every year, only $70,000,000 was spent for such things last year.We are told that the preaching of vegetarianism interfers greatly with the shoe business.Last year Germans took a notion to eat less meat and, according to the Bookkeeper, the shoe manufacturers in the land of the Kaiser were In despair.It is necessary to sell a great deal of meat in order that hides may be obtained without loss.This is another instance of the need of co-operation between manufacturers of all kinds.Unleds Swift and Armour and the other packers are able to sell their goods the factories in the East must do with less leather.When the factories are forced to get along with less leather the world must get along with fewer shoes, and must also pay a higher price for those it does buy.It is interesting to know that the foreign - shoe trade \u2018is constantly increasing.American

Treasury, was discussing with a correspondent a financial muddle.\u201cThey Med,\u201d sald the famous finan- cler; \u201cbut, as with Hugh Ralston of Castana, their lying was absurd.\u201cWhen I wae in the banking busi ness in Charter Oak there was & young coal heaver of Castana who courted a Charter Oak girl.His name was Hugh Ralston, and he pretended to be a banker.\u201cBut one afternoon the girl happened to visit Castana, and she saw Hugh hurrying home for supper, as black as the ace of spades.He would have dodged past without speaking but the girl held him up.\u201c \u2018Why, Hugh,\u2019 she said, reproachfully, \u2018I thought you were a banker!\u2019 \u201cHe heaved a kind of sigh.\u201c\u201cAh,\u2019 he said, \u2018we've had a terrible day of it to-day, cleaning all the ink wells,\u201d Duty.Duty is an old-fashioned word, but it is well to keep it in one's vocabulary.Some young people imagine that duty is something desperate, diffi cult and unpleasant.Some think of it only as connected with going to church and missionary work.To some it means a great sacrifice that man is called on to make on one or two great occasions in a lifetime.To many it is a word bearing no pleasant impression.And many more do not think about it at all.Duty is not a thing for special occasions, nor does it re quire any great courage or sacrifice.To do one's duty is simply to do right, a daily and hourly responsibility.It is one's duty to be honest and kind; to be cheerful and make happiness; to delight in every good and beautiful thing.\u201cThe reward of one duty is the

submarine abode.It can creep about the bottom, but has to keep a firm hold to prevent the shell from rising to the surface.Small files and mites probably serve it for food.Tempora Mutantur.A certain

Franklin's day, and especially within the last \u2018ew years.The result was that when we hadn't eaten meat for about six 'onths he was so much money to the rood that he lost his head and became ine

Handling of Vessel.Two purposes are sérved by the combined cover and handle for milk jars designed by a Massachusetts man, as the name of the device indicates.The cover is a circular plece of flat metal with clasps extending downward so as to engage the upper end of the neck of the jar or bottle.The handle, which is connected with the cover, has its lower ends extending downward so as to form lock-but tons, which keep the top from sliding off the jar laterally.The device can be adjusted in a twinkling, but it will not come off unless the handle is turned at right angles with the jar.When a bottle of milk Is being car ried by this means it can be swung around with no fear of the top coming off\u2014if anybody wants to swing it around.The improvement of this de vice over the paper tops used on milk fars is readily apparent.It costs more in the beginning, but Easlly Put On and Étays On.in the long run it will outwear thousands of paper tops and has the additional advantage of providing a handle.Care with Cream Pays.The care which the cream receives determines what kind of butter it will make.It is not enough, as some farmers do not seem to realize, to skim or separate the milk and expect the cream to take care of itself.The advent of the hand separator has not helped matters in this direction.On the contrary, it has worked the other way.There are some farmers who seem to consider that if they run their milk through the machine and deliver the cream to the creamery once or twice a week they have done all they are supposed to.This is a sad mistake, as many creamery men are finding out.The ability of the butter maker is a very important matter, but it cannot be the only consideration, No butter maker can make a prime product out of improperly handled cream.Prize Cow Tests.At the Oregon State fair, an offi cial test of three Jerseys, three Holsteins, and three Ayreshires, the following results were shown: The Holsteins gave 269.13 pounds of milk and 10.083 ut butter-fat.The Ayr shires gave 260.4 pounds of milk and 9.835 pounds of butter fat.The Jerseys gave 220.11 1-4 pounds of milk and 9.709 pounds of butter fat.The admirers of the Ayrshires make à great deal of this test, as showing the capabilities of the breed.Guess Work with Cows.We are aurry to say it, but with most farmers it is purely guess work as to whether his cows are paying their way or not.They are strangers to the milk scales and the Babcock tester, and they do not care for any new ideas about balanced rations, use of silage, etc.and the result is that they barely grub out a living.But thank goodness such farmers are growing less every year.Manicure the Milkers.Insist on cleanliness in those who do-the milking.Before milking they should wash their hands with soap and should then thoroughly dry them.The finger nails should also be clean: ed.As little dust as possible should be stirred up.Dust from moldy hay will float around and fall into the milk.Where Danger Lurks.It is hard to believe that there are dangers lurking in milk.Its very whiteness bespeaks its purity, yet this very quality may conceal the growth of countless germs, and its sweetness may lure the drinker into an unwar ranted sense of security.Young Calf is Dainty.The stomach of the young calf is easily ruined by slipshod methods of feeding it.Remember this when tempted to feed it milk too hot or too cold, or in a bucket that is not clean and swee.To Keep Game Fresh.When on a hunting trip, if game has to be carried several days and be comes tainted, soak for several hours before Cooking

M.Hammell, The seport of the liquor license de partment in Ontario, Canada, con- demis, on the face of it, the license system.For, according to the figures, the direct product of the tavern, shop, hotel, or places of retailing intoxicate ing liquors, is drunkenness.Now, if drunkenness is not a crime, it is, to say the least, a disease.The tavern-traffic is a source of disease, - according to official statement, and the provincial government is placed in the abnormal attitude of collecting license fees from men who deal in a disease-producing article \u2014 alcoholio liquors.According to this system, the government is bound to license the trafic, but not bound to provide for its disease-products.Four thousand seven hundred and seventy-four persons are found alcoholled\u2014and \u2018\u2019arrested\u2019\u2019\u2014that is to say, treated as criminals.Judged from the standpoint of the physician they are proper subjects for medical treatment.Judged from the standpoint of civil government they are subjects for civil discipline.The State, however, mere~ ly confines in jail for a brief period and imposes a fine.No effort is made to moralize the offender.No effort is made to cure him of disease.The State confesses Îts failure in dealing with the ultimate product of the licensed liquor traffic, as for though the number of licenses has decreased, the number of arrests for drunkenness has increased.The \u201csaloon\u201d plays double\u2014it ylelds revenue\u2014and crime, or it ylelds revenue and dis ease.Hither way the State ought to abate the traffic as a nuisance, or concede its incapacity to deal with the situation and re-organize on à moral basis.The Personal Equasion.In one of Ralph Connor's stories there is an account of a man who did not want the good the church could do bim.He was intemperate in his habits.The day of the races is come, and the minister fears for Sandy.À temperance lecture would do no good.An appeal tu self-interest would fall on deaf ears.But a happy thought came to the minister.\u201cSandy,\u201d he .said, \u201cI am afraid about Donald today, If he gets in with that company again they will strip him of all he has, and what about his home and family?We must save him from the saloon to-day; can't you keep an eye on him and see that he keeps sober?\u201d Sandy straightened himself.He was no mere sinner to be \u201cgathered in,\u201d but a man to help others.\u201cI will do my best, sir.\u201d And he did.He forgot all about himself that day in his eagerness to protect Donald; he was to the minister instead of eyes, and in saving others saved himself \u2014M.A.Mac.Kinon, in California Christian Advocate.Dr.Peterson\u2019s Facts.Dr.Frederick Peterson, in an ad dress before the New York State Cone ference of Charities and Correction, made the following stand out in bold relief: - \u201cAlcohol is the chief poison factor tn the production of insanity.Six thousand patients in the State of New York alone owe thelr insanity to alcohol.Twenty per cent.of all the insane In the United States, or at least 30,000 individuals, owe their condition to alcoholic poison.\u201d Dr.Me Donald calculates that one insane person is an approximate loss to the State of New York, due to insanity, of $2,400,000, and to the United States $12,000,000 per year.Loss to One State.In the State of New York there are aow some 30,000 insane in the public and private hospitals, and it is esti * mated that twenty per cent.of these, or 6,000 patientd, owe their insanity to alcohol.In all the asylums of the United States there are 150,000 insane, and assuming the same percentage, there are 30,000 individuals in this country in whom alcohol has brought about insanity.Dr.MacDonald calcu: lates that one insane person is an approximate loss to the State of $400 per year.Hence the actual loss in money to the State of New York through alcoholic insanity is $3,400, 000, and to the United States $13,000, 000 every year.A Sober Railway.The employees of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company have facilitated the action of the corporation in whose service they are by voluntarily pledging themselves to totally abstain from the use of liquor on or off duty.The first announce ment showed 25,000 names pledged.Later, we find the number increased to 40.000 Baimon\u2019s Rapid Growth.It is said that a twenty pound salmon which was caught in Scotland not long ago had attached to ore of its finds a small silver p'ate marked, \u201c935B.\u201d Upon inquiry it was found that this label had been put on the fish by the Loch Lomond Angiing Improvement Association in December 1907, in a river feeding the lake.The records show that It then weighed ten pounds, and thus in the space of eighteen months it had dou bled its weight.\u2014Forest and Stream.+.8 THE WNONILL PENFEET?The Moiern Design Compared with Co the Ancient.- It hardly seems possible that the best windmills to-day are not superior to those of olden times, but their mer its are compared by a writer for \u201cCassier\u2019s Magazine.\u201d The points he raises are interesting and worth coasiders- tion, but his closing question indicates |.that he is not yet convinced that the old 1s better than the new.\u201cWhy,\u201d he asks, \u201cis the full circle \u2018of a windmill of the modern type filled with blades?The only space not filled is the central eye and such small space as is represented by the angularity of the blades.The consequence of this may be that the wind deflected from the moving blade will be directed against the next following blade, and will hihder the rotation of the mill.With fewer blades the wind would pass away more freely, and it is likely that there would be more power generated per blade if, indeed, not actually more power from a mill of a given diameter.The efficiency of the\u2019 surface would probably be better.An ordinary windmill is simply an impulse turbine without guide blades.The wind advances in a parallel flowing stream and strikes upon the sloping surfaces of the sails or blades.These slip away under the lateral pressure of the air, and the air Is deflected in the opposite direction, and can get away only between the blades.Such, at least, appears to be the trend of some recent thought on the question, and there is some ree- son in it.The old Dutch mills had only four, five or six sails, as a rule.By no means was the full circle covered with sail area.Indeed, a mere fraction was occupled, and much greater sail area could probably have been added.The modern windmill is quite different, and has its whole circle occupied.Are there any tests on record to show what is the effect of this, and is it not quite likely that investigation would lead to changes in design?\u201d Eskimo Healthy Race.All degenerative diseases that cause 80 much suffering and death in civilization are absent from the Eskimo.No arteriosclerosis, Bright's disease, cirrhosis, diabetes, cataract.The pure, steril arctic air contains no germs, but Eskimos invariably take a bad \u201cship cold\u201d when they go aboard white men's ships.The Eskimo mother totes the baby In the

intolerant of rretentiousness and shallow conceit.One self-satisfied undergraduate met the master one day.\u201cMaster,\u201d he said, \u201cI have searched everywhere in all philosophies, ancient and modern, and nowhere do I find the evidence of a God.\u201d \u201cMr.\u2014,\u201d replied the mas- \u2018er.after a shorter pause than usual, \u201cif you don\u2019t find a God by five o'clock this

The Osprey One of Our Noblest Birds of Prey\u2014The Sparrow Hawk is Per haps the Best Known\u2014Why Owls Are Beneficial.The eye of the bird of prey is probably the most perfect organ of sight that exists, says a writer in The World Today.Most marvellous of all is the sight which enables the owl to strike the mouse in the darkness or to pursue and capture the bat which we can scarcely see even in the early twilight.20° The talons of some of the larger birds of prey are extremely strong.The feet of the osprey make a splendid fish trap, one from which no fish can escape when once caught.The great, curved talons of the eagle are most effective, and are certainly stronger than those of all other birds.When they once close on an object, the clutch is so tight that it can scarcely be loosened unless the bird's leg be severed.The strong claws are not only used in catching food, but are used also in carrying nesting material.If, instead of killing its prey, a species of bird is accustomed to feed on carrion, this change is clearly reflected in the weaker muscles of the feet and in the shorter and duller claws.Many people have thought that buzzards have an unusual sense of smell that guides them over miles of territory in search of food, but many years ago it was proved that sight is the principal factor in guiding the bird of prey.Audubon made careful experiments with a black vulture.The dry, stuffed skin of a deer which he placed out in the field soon attracted a vulture.Although there was no smell of flesh and nothing eatable about it, the bird lit and began tugging at the dry skin.Later, when the same bird circled over the field it espied a small snake not thicker than a man's finger and pounced upon fit.In another case the decayed carcass of a hog was covered with brush so that it was invisible.It remained undiscovered by the vultures that frequently passed over the place by accident, although the stench was very strong.The sparrow hawk is perhaps the best known of our birds of prey, as it ranges through the entire country.Contrary to what the name might signify, this bird lives almost exclusively on insects, except where such food is dificult to obtain.During the winter, about the San Francisco Bay region where the English sparrows are plentiful, the sparrow hawk sometimes comes into the towns and captures a sparrow from a flock.The red tailed hawk is often called the chicken hawk, but he does not deserve the name.Many of the hawks carry undeserved reputations.In regions and in seasons when anl- mal and insect food is scarce, this hawk will catch chickens and game birds, but it lives mostly on mice and shrews as well as frogs, snakes, lizards and insects of various kinds.In a prairie and hilly country, almost its entire food is squirrels, gophers, mead- ow-mice and rabbits, \u2018The osprey is one of our noblest birds of prey.He hunts about over the rivers and lakes, living almost entirely on fish.A fish, as seen by one looking down into the water from above, is very deceptive owing to the refracted light.When the fish seems to be a foot under the surface he is often three or four feet.But the osprey, hovering over on poised wing, drops like a plummet, often completely disappear ing below the surface, and in spite of the rapidity with which a fish can move this bird is generally success ful in capturing it.In the mountainous regions of the West one may occasionally see the golden eagle hunting for his prey.During the summer of 1904 we made several visits to the aerle of one of these big birds and found that a very large proportion of the eagle's food supply consisted of ground squirrels with an ocasional rabbit and quail.On one trip we found the bodies of four ground squirrels lying on the rim of the west.The hills in many places were perforated with the burrows of the ground squirrels, and the eagles seemed to have regular watch towers on the high rocks from which they swooped down upon their quarry.If it were not for the birds of prey about these hilly districts the places would soon be overrun with harmful rodents.As a family the owls are among the most beneficial of all birds from the economic standpoint of the agricultur- jst.With few exceptions the owls are |_nocturnal.Their eyes and ears are remarkably developed and are keenest in the early hours of the night and morning.Many harmful rodents are most ac: tive in their search for food during the night and the owls are the natural check for this multitude.The hawk hunts dy day and the ow! by night, and the work of one supplements that of the other.CHRIST BELIZVED I WEALTH \u2018|\u201cCondemned the Hoarding, Not the Using of Riches,\u201d Dr.Abbott Tells Philadelphia Audience.Philadelphia.\u2014 Ministers of the leading congregations of the city, reinforced by a large number of students from the University of Pennsylvania, formed the large audience that listened to a lecture by Dr.Lyman Abbott, of New York.\u201cI think Jesus\u2019 was one of those men who think it is right to be rich,\u201d said Dr.Abbott.\u201cTo Him, accumuls- tion for its own sake was wicked.\u201c|What Christ condemned was the hoarding, and not the using of wealth; He would not approve of men whose whole mission in life is to acquire, and still acquire, wealth, and who do not put any of their culture, money or education into the great problem of poverty confronting us.\u201cChrist llked pleasure, and did not renounce the world.He accepted a great many invitations to dine, from all kinds of people, reputable and disreputable.\u201cI don't know what Jesus Christ would do if he visited the big American cities, but 1 am very sure if He was captain of the football team, and there was any man who attempted to win foully, He would give him a talking he would remember to the end of his days.If He came to Philadelphia for the men who are corrupt in this city, he would have a red-hot iron to brand them for the rest of thelr lives.\u201cI do not think Jesus would be a total abstainer if He were in Amegica, and I am sure he would not confound temperance with total abstinence.\u201cHe would not say, have you, pa geants in the churches, but denounce a play in a theatre as wicked.No enjoyment is right that doesn\u2019t help to develop manhood and womanhood.\u201d BUCK DROWNS A HOUND.Turns on Pursuer In Pond and Soon Ends Fight for Life.Providence, R.I.\u2014A hound belonging to Frank Lillie of Riverpoint was drowned in a mill pond in West Greenwich by a deer that he had pursued through the woods and into the water.Lillie, with a party of hunters from Riverpoint, had gone over into the {West Greenwich woods for a day's sport.They had spent several hours in the woods when Spot, Lillie\u2019s hound, disappeared.Three miles away a party of men at work about a sawmill heard the baying of a hound.A moment later a young buck broke from the woods and bounded across the fields to the water's edge.Close on Ita trail was the hound.The buck plunged into the icy water and the dog followed.The buck was evidently tired, for the dog overhauled him and began biting at his flanks.Then the buck turned and

ORDER.Johns Hopkins Professor Reproduces Desert\u2019s Optical Illusion.Baltimore, Md.\u2014It is no longer necessary to travel the deserts of Africa or the burning wastes of Arizona to see a real mirage.Dr.Robert W.Wood, professor of experimental physics at John Hopkins University, showed his classes and other Hopkins students who were interested in a miniature mirage that showed as perfectly as is possible in a laboratory experiment the realness and vividness of this hallucination.Prof.Wood produced the desert with a sheet of iron 15 feet long, covered with sand which he heated with gas burners.A mirror reflected the sun upon a white sheet of paper at one end of the artificial desert, which paper served as the clear skyline.When the sand got fairly hot and one looked along its surface at some little piles of sand at the end toward the white paper one could almost he- lleve that just a little way in front of the piles of sand there was a pool of crystal water on the sanded plate.WORK OF ART 4,000 YEARS OLD.Clay Figure of Goddess Excavated Near Ratibor.Berlin, Germany.\u2014What is said to be the oldest artistic record of mankind has been found at Ottitz, near Ratibor,
