Money in Elections.


Anderson Herald.
There is but one cure for the evil of using
money in elections. We must educate the
public to look with scorn upon it, We must
cease to look upon it as a peccadilo to be
passed by with a scornful or knowing laugh
We must have a public sentiment which
hates the dirty scoundrelism which soils and
ruins the source OF power at its primal spring
Let every good citizen labor to build up that
saving virtue in the public heart

Encouraging for Him.

A tramp who had asked citizen OF
Jersey City for cash lift was met with
tho reply: q,
"Sir! / began life on thirty cents and
am now worth $4,000, and no man
ever gave me a penny in my life.
And i, SIR" added a second citizen,
''have made fortune Of $4,000 ~ my
own unaided efforts"
"While l." modestly remarked a
third, began life as a shoeblack, and
now live on the interest of my money. "
Gentlemen" said the tramp, as he
looked from one to the other. 81 thank
you. You have planted new courage
in my fainting heart. l will begin this
very hour to amass competency.
Which of you can post me on how TO fail
in business and get my start by beating
my creditors?'
One man gulped down something and
entered a grocery. The second grew
red in the face and said he had to see a
man. The third turned a shade paler,
made ghastly attempt to laugh, and
dropped cent on the walk and got
away while the tramp was hunting for
it, Wall Street Ne1cS.

What Snpports the Parisians.

An analysis of the population OF
Paris, just published, gives very singu-
lar statistics as TO the inhabitants of the
gayest city in Europe. Ii seems also,
for its size, to be the most industrious.
The proportion in which the working
classes exceed those who live on their
own incomes is the more remarkable as
Paris is the recognized center of expen-
diture and extravaganza for all France.
There are no cities that hold to the cap
ital the same relative position that Liv-
erpool, Manchester and Birmingham
occupy relatively TO London. More
than half n million Paris;ans are en-
ployed in commerce, trade, and bank
ing operations, while of the arts an class
there are considerably more than l, 2j0,-
OOO. The liberal professions seem TO oc-
cupy but small proportion. All COM
bined do not amount to 100000, and in
the subdivisions the prominence is quite
different from what it would be with us.
The great majority are in the public
service, which employs more than medi-
cine, law, and divinity combined. But,
after the public service, it is art which
gives employment and livelihood to the
greatest number of Parisians. Forty
two thousand get their income from
this branch of industry. The doctors
come after, but long way after.-PalI-
Mall Gazette.

A Beard all at Once.

A gentleman who form erly resided at
Trenton, Tenn, It'd a Nashville re-
porter of n strange freak Of nature
which came under his observation there
a few years ago. There was a young
man OF the town who had long passed
the period of maturity, and who had
not sign of a beard n any p Drtion of
his face. One day lie noticed small
lump on his neck, Il few inches below
his chin. At first he paid Little atten-
ton to it. The lump C pmmenced grow
ing, however, till finally it was larger
than large walnut and closely Pc>cm-
blcd wen. The young man went to a
phvsic; an and asked him to relieve him
oS the distiguring growth. The doctor
concluded to try to remove it with .
knife. Or making an inaision the doc
tors kni encountered sp ngy sub
stance, which on examination pro, ed to
be nothing less than n closely mated
and coi,ed mass of hair. 1t seems that
the beard, which should have been
spread over the young mans face, had
1ncentrated in this one spot and grown
beneath the skin. The hair was re-
moved and the opening soon healed,
and the strange development became
unnoticeable.

Deserted Farms i'm Vermont.

Vermont fairs show better butter and
cheese, better cattle and sheep, than
they did forty years ago, but the farm
ers' teams do not stand for as good
horse-stock as they did then; there are
fewer farms we suspect in Vermont;
there are as many deserted farms and
decayed towns in Southern Vermont to-
day as there ever were in our history;
at least that is the testimony given us
by very intelligent rm-bred lawyer
who has recently personally visited the
towns that touch either side of the
Green Mountains from the Massachu-
sets line to Addison County. In STRAIT
ton, where Webster in 1910 addressed
the great Wing mass-meeting, the farm
house where Webster spent the night is
a ruin and the farm deserted. In the
woodland you meet the ruins of old four
foot stone walls; in Somerset you find
in the forest stOne-walls and the re-
mains of an old highway; the decaying
abutments of former bridge across the
stream are all that remain of the civili-
zation that was once represented by a
church, grist-mill and country store.
The woodland has so encroached upon
these deserted farms that our friend is
confident there is more woodland to-
day in the mountain towns of Vermont
than there has been at any time during
the last forty years. In the old coun-
ties of Bennington, Windham, Windsor
and Rutland our informant found, he
assures us, plenty of evidence of de-
serted farms and decaying towns along
either side of the mountain range, and
these deserted farms are not being re-
occupied by any returning wanderer, al
though most of these towns are places
of much natural beauty and attractive
ness. Among these towns are Reads
boro, Somerset, Searsburg, Sunderland,
WardsbOro, Peru, Jamaica, Landgrove,
Weston, Plymouth, SALISBURY, Winall
and several mountain towns in Rutland
County Our friend thinks that towns
touching the mountains on either side
have been permanently deserted. The
future of Vermont, if she is to increase
heneeforth largely in wealth and 'popu-
lation, lies in manufactures, not en-
larged agriculture, and this is true. not
only of Vermont. but of all New En-

The little village of Annsyille, on

for nearly half a century from the
Annsville wire mills, which employed
upward of four hundred men at good
wages. Recently the wire mills were
destroyed by fire, and threw out OF en-

of the wire mills decided not to rebuild,
and last week leased Sharp's rifle works

An experienced gardener, of Indi-

cate, is of opinion that very few per-
sons who plant currant cuttings do it
at the right season of the year. 1t is
usually done in the spring, when in fact
it should be done in the fall. He says:
81 have had a good deal of experience
in preparing cuttings. l always plant
my currant cuttings in the fall as soon
as the leaves fall off. They will make
durable roots two to four inches long
the same fall, while the buds remain
dormant. They will make double the
growth the next season if set. in the
fall, that they will if not set in till

Little Freaks Of Fashion.

The English fashion of cropping the
hair short all over the head and form
ing it into little loose rings has again
reached America, and many ladies are
sacrificing their luxuriant tresses to the
Moloch of the present mode. During
an afternoon drive through prominent
city in Canada, the writer lately no.
tiCed no less than q score of ladies, both
English and American, thus shorn.
With this style of coiffure the jockey
hat is usually worn, excepting where
the fashion is followed by. middle aged
women; in this case thet oque, or English
walking hat, is seen, as no larger or
broader hat can very well be kept Sc
cure without braid or puff to which it
may be fastened, These short ripping
locks are to great degree charming on
some heads-mostly with the round,
rosy-faced girls in their teens, or not far
out Of them.
A party of English young ladies, well
chaperoned, recently sojourning at
Montreal, Canada, carried slender
switch-canes of ebony, with small gold
heads, richly chased, and wore jockey
caps of plain black velvet, which were
most becoming and natty looking. Both
cane and cap are said to be very fash
ionable abroad, both in England and
France.
