Mr.. HoRsEY introduced bill in
the Senate, Monday, for an increase of
pay of the members of the Legislature
to So per day and limiting the pay for
the session to sixty days. The latter
would be heartily endorsed by the
people, but the increase of pay might
be considered differently. There seem
to be abundant hands reaching after
the Treasury, but no effort to lop off

That's a common express
sion and has a world Of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
BRowN's IRON BIrrERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes i" My wife

bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken n
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and 1 can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronaunces it the

THE LAFAYETTE STATUE.

Burlington had large turnout of
people last week-25, 900 or soto
see the unveiling of the Lafayette
statue and the relaying of the corner
stone of the university. The stone
was the same lald by Lafayette June
30, 1925.
The statute by j. Q. A. Ward is
the gift of Burlington's generous
citizen, J. P. Howard, and worthy
the giver and the man it commemor-
ates. Lafayette would have been the
Washington of France had the peo-
pie of the country permitted.
He was a good, great man and his
goodness and principle were what
stood in the way of his leading
France to take her place by the side
of America as republic or king
dom governed by the popular will.
When he came here IN the revolution
he was a mere boy of nineteen, and
left his young wife and the career
that his place among the mobiles of
France promised him to take his
chances with ssrebels."
He left France before that country
was committed to the American cause
but before the close of the revolu-
ton, was popular in France as well
as here-both with the government
and people. When the French revo-
luton broke out he was prominent in
leadership and had his counsels been
followed the reign of terror would
have been avoided.

He fled from France when 80 years
old because he would not consent to
60 with the violent men who were all
for blood. The Austrians took him
prisoner and confined him at OlmuM
for five years when he was released
by Napoleon. But his principles
forbade him to be a follower of his
rescuer and he took no part in the
government during the empire. In
the revolution of 1880 he was promi-
nent and commanded the national
guard though then past three score.
He died May 20, 1884, at the age of
seventy-six.
In 1924, by invitation of congress
he visited America and in June, 1925
came into Vermont at Windsor, came
through Royalton and Randolph to
Montpelier and went from here to
Burlington, where, on the 29th of
June he laid the corner stone at the
University and then went his way to
Troy.
Many of our citizens remember the
reception here, one of them, Mr..
Walton, having been captain of a
company of lads who took part in
the ceremonies. Lafayettte's journey
was triumphal one, and it was him
self-the man-that made it so. The
friend of Washington-and like him
the people delighted to do him hon
or in his old age.
One of his kind acts was the pay
ment of debt which released an old
soldier-Gen. Barton, from imprison-
ment in Danville jail. The man
who came to America boy and
whose manhood came to him when
he fought in the dark days of the
revolution, finally left our shores in
September, 1925. The United States
gave him a township of land and a
couple Of hundred thousand dollars
then. But Mr.. Howard's gift and
It's reception show that he had a last
ing place in the affection of Ameri-
cans though generations change.
His life was one of the most roman
tic in history and he deserved his
good fortune and the serene days
that came to him at the close of his
| career.

George Cary Eggleston says a
timely word in Harper's Magazine
for July in favor of equipping our
girls with the means of self-support
in case the necessity arises whereby
they will be called upon to maintain
themselves. His words deserve gen.
eral attention:
''No one will dispute the assertion
that any given girl may some day
have herself and perhaps her family
to support; aud yet our schemes of
education for girls are framed pre-
cisely as if this were not and could
not be true. AS rule, no provision
whatever is made for such a contin-
gency in the education of girls, no
recognition whatever is given to the
fact that the chance exists. We
shut our eyes to the danger; we hope
that the i'll may never come, and we
put the thought of it away from US.
In brief, we trust to luck and that is
a most unwise-I was about to say
an idiotic-thing to do. Each one of
us has known women to whom this
mischance has happened, and each
one of us knows that it may happen
to the daughter whom we tenderly
cherish, yet we put no arms in her
hands with which to fight this dan
ger: we equip her for every need
except this sorest of all kinds; we
leave her at the mercy of chance,
knowing that the time may come
when she whom we have not taught
to do any bread-winning work will
have need of bread, and will know
no way in which to get it except
through dependence. beggary, or
worse. She can teach? Yes, if she
can find some politician to secure an
appointment for her. She can prick
back poverty with the point of her
needle? Yes, at the rate of seventy
five cents a week, OF, if she is a skill
full needle woman, at twice or thrice
that pittance. Is it not beyond COM
prehension that intelligent and affec-
tionate fathers, knowing the dreadful
possibilities that lie before daughters
whom they love with fondest indul-
gence, should neglect to take the
simplest precautions in their behalf?
We are dull, blind, precedent-loving
set of animals, we human beings.
We neglect this plain duty, at this
terrible risk, simply because such has
been the custom. Some few of us
have made our minds to set this cruel
custom at defiance and to give our
girls the means of escape from this
danger. 1t is our creed that every
education is fatally defective which
does not include definite skill in some
art OF handicraft OF knowledge with
which bread and shelter may be cer-
tainly won in case of need. If the
necessity for putting such skill to use
never arises, no harm is done but
good rather, even in that case, be-
cause the consciousness Of ability to
do battle with poverty frees its pos
SCISSOR from apprehension, and adds
to that confident sense of security
| without which contentment is impos-
sible. All men recognize this fact in
the case of boys; its recognition in
the case of girls is not one whit less
necessary. 1t seems to me at least
that every girl is grievously wronged
who is suffered to grow up to woman
hood and to enter the world without
some marketable skill.

DARWINISM IN THE
KITCHEN.

l wasrtaking off my bonnet

When hinseet jumped upon it,
As proved to be a flea.
Then takes it to the crate,
Between the bars to stick it;
But hadn't long to wait
Ere it changed into cricket
Says l. "Surely my senses
Is getting in a fog;"
So to drown it continues,
When it halters in frog.
Here my heart began to thump;
And no wonder felt funky.
For the frog with one big jump
Leaped himself into monkey.
Then opened wide my eyes.
It's features for to scan,
And observed with great surprise
That the monkey man.
But he vanished from my sight,
And sunk upon the floor,
just as Missus with a light,
Came inside the kitchen door.
