tured article. At present the scythe manu-
factories in the country have more work than
they can attend to- but sharp competition has
put the prices down to too low figure. As
this is the fault Of the manufacturers them
selves, and not of the purchasers, it is thought
that the meeting above alluded to may re-
suit in good to all concerned.

mer collector was largely attended. The
commission appointed by the town at their
March meeting, to investigate list
of names presented by Mr.. NOVEL;,
for abatement of taxes, reported about
| 5000 abatement, which report was accepted

Novel; after deducting the above abatement,
about $4,000, and the selectmen were instruc-

same. There is a suit now pending against

in October but we believe the whole matter

will be settled without recourse to the courts.

After Dark.

Almost invariably boys who have
been allowed to roam free ut night
have come to moral shipwreck and
social destruction. The exceptions
have been where there was Who'll
some temperament, q strong intellect
and peculiar social influences. Men
and boys, women and girls, whatever
may be their culture, feel that there is
something in the street at night diff
ierent from that which is in the day
something that excites apprehension,
or creates alarm, or gives license.
Boys that are demure by day will say
things at night that they would blush
to utter in the daylight.
The result of our observation is the
clear conviction that it is absolutely
necessary that parents know exactly
where their children are from sun.

alone off the pavement OF his fathers
house after sundown. 1t ought not
to be hard restriction; to a boy thus
trained from infancy it will not be.
1t is unnatural that a child should
want to 90 off to play in the dalk

Girls Don't Sling Slang.'

Gi,ls should be careful never to
sully their lips by the use OF slang
phrases, for though they may be in
nocently uttered they are apt to have
a double meaning, and originate with
a class of people who do not hesitate
to make use of the lowest and viest
language. Some girls use slang be-
cause they think it makes their words
more expressive and interesting but
this is n very much mistaken idea, tor
there is nothing more displeasng than
to hear words of slang fall from the
lips of girls who should be pure and
free from any expressions not calcu'
lated to impress their hearers with a
sense of refinement and culture. The
use of slang is becoming SO common
that ladies' use it when conversing
with gentlemen. With what degree
of respect does gentleman regard a
lady who in his presence makes use
of language such as is used in the
very lowest class Of societys He
certainly cannot accord her the same
respect which would be hers if her
ideas were expressed in chaste, lady
like terms. 1t is true she may not
mean to use words that will. make her
seem unladylike, but she cannot use
slang in any way without saying
something never intended for the lips
of true pure woman. A gentleman
owes more respect to Il lady than to
use slang in her presence, and If she
refrains from its use he will be more
careful of his own language. Its
bad enough for him to use it at any
time, but how much more it is for
him to do so when with ladies! He
is to some extent excusable, though,
when its use is encouraged by hearing
it from his lady companions. Re-
member, girls, you owe it to your
selves and to your own self-respect
lever to use language which will have
a tendency to lessen mans respect
for you.

One OF the most remarkable escapes
from instant death that we have heard
Of for sometime, was related to a

man who was on the train when The
accident occurred, "a lady and two
children were on their way from Kan

youngest was about one year OF age,
