a pnr in Highland Park.

Friday being the closing day of our public
schools the teachers of the intermediate de-
partment planned to give their pupils picnic
in "Highland Park" Had the day been made
expressly for them it could not have been more
perfect, clear, cool and delightful. At nine
O'Clock about l25 child,en had assembled on
the school ground, and after having formed in
line marched TO the park by way of Green
street, and though not headed by the Military
band there was certainly no lack of music.
When we arrived upon the grounds we found
Mr. CrOwell there. and three cheers were given
him by the children. The teachers were re-
quested not to break the line for few moments,
but why we could not ascertain. Presently,
however, we found that each of us had been
remembered, and that we were the recipients of
gifts, SO quietly arranged by the children that
not suspicion OF their intentions had come 10
our knowledge. So surprised and interested
were we that before we hardly knew it the line
was broken and the children well scattered,
and one would scarcely have thought II possible
that SO many children could have been upon
M ground, so few were TO be seen al ONE.
Plenty OF amusements were provided and SO
arranged on the grounds that all could ilhu
something 10 do, and with feeling that thSy
were not in each others way. AT noon the
children were called to their lunch. which had
been arranged on two long tables prepared Tor
their use: Ieuonade was furnished ana an
abundance of food supplied-and after the
wants Of all had been satisfied there sun re,
mained enough for the squirrels, which hoped
and frisked about with perfect freedom. AFTER
dinner the children gathered in the GROW
Nest, as one of the summer houses + eaneI,
and sang songs and gave recitations, and though
very little time had been spent IN PREPARATION
tins proved a pleasing feature oil the GAY
About four O'clock the egood-byes" were said,
and all went home feeling that they had had
pleasant time, and that this was Mt ending 70
a years work in which, il is hoped. all had par
ticpated with pleasure and profit 10 Mr
Crowel our thanks are due for the klndness
shown and for the large-hearted and nee
handed manner in which everything was pro-
vided for our enjoyment. Mrs MORSE

Henry Clark of Rutland, past grand represent
alive to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the

eXemplifed the recent work of the order and
also gave many intercstn G "reminiscences OF the
carly days of Odd Fellows hip in Vermont At !
the meeting five other Odd Fellows presented |
withdrawal cards from other lodges and were \
elected members of this lodge. The lodge then
recommended its work with ton members, but /
which were soon increased to a fair number. I
The lodge now numbers eighty active members
in good standing. In July, 1882, Amity lodge,
MOI, Daughters of Rebekah, was instituted
and now has about forty members. Golden
Rule Encampment was instituted Jan so, 1888.
The front hall occupied by Bellows Falls lodge
after its reinstatement was in Bidgman's block,
but this not afIording sufficient accommodations
the lodge leased for term Of five years the
hall IN Mammoth block, and have occupied the
same since July |, 1879 to the present time.
This is the same hall occupied by the lodge be-
fore the surrender Of its charter in 1859, and the
occasion of establishment in these quarters
revived with the older members the memory of
former days and seemed to them like the repeti-
ton of history. The term for which the hall
was leased expired July I.

To Keep Down House Insects.

OF course scrupulous cleanliness will dis
pose of most of them. Keep the yard free
from decaying vegetables, refuse from the
kitchen and the drain of the sink, and
sweeten the out-buildings with lime, and
flies will mostly emigrate to promising
quarters. The few stragglers which re-
main can be nearly excluded by frames
covered with millinet placed in the win
dows when open. These will also keep
out the veXatious mosquito. Myriads of
these latter insects are often bred in swamp
spots adjoining the dwelling. Proper drain
age will route them at headquarters. The
rain-water cistern is also prolific in mos
quitoes; place few lively minnows or
other brook fish there, and they will fatten
on the larvp of the tormenting insect
thus the bitter will be bitten.
The flea delights in the dust and litter OF
the wood-house and wagon-shed. Remove
all this, sprinkle fresh lime in its place,
add whitewash TO the beams and boards,
anu the fleas will soon vanish. Take up
all the carpets, beat them thoroughly with
4 slender rod, and scatter pepper around
the sides of the room where the edges OF

In the ancient world it was hcd to he
the right of individuals, under certain cir
cumstanccs. to kill themselves, il thcy could
render their country thereby service, or
even if they wished TO rid themselves OF
care in this world. II was quite common,
i'm Roman history for Generals to sacrifice
themselves in order to win victories or 10
accomplish 4 great patriotic OF family end.
The StoiCs held that man was his own
master, and if he wished to shuttle off the
mortal coil there was no divine law, and
should bc no human enactment, 10 say him
nav. But the advent Of Christianity taught
a new doctrine ON this point This was
the inviolability of human life. Man did
not belong to themselves, hut 10 his Maker,
and killing ones self was rs uniuStihablc as
shaving fellow-man. But several modern
writers have advocated the old view The
most recent convert is the eccentric Elmira
clergyman, the Rev. Thomas X. Bcecher.
Writing to 4 newspaper ON this subject, he
saws " that when it is determined by an
individual, with the approval of his friends,
that it is no longer worth while to drift
about on this sinful planet, he is then justi-
fled in sailing into the hereafter by his own
act It's aquestion with some physicians,
whether in some phases of human suf-
fcring, occasionCd by terrible and NOR
tai diseases, il should not be permissible to
deprive the sufferer of life that is so in
tolerable to him. \ German actress named
Gallmeyer was in such agony from cancer
that she begged her physician to relieve her
of her life. But of course the doctor, while
he sympathized with her, could not comply
with her wishes. Death is no great terror
to some people, In China men have been
known to offer themselves candidates for
capital punishment, as substitutes for noted
criminals, for small sums of money, TO add
to the comforts and provide for the necossi-
ties of their families. Death in all ma
tions, is often relief to the suffering and

ELECTRIC LIGHT FIsHING.-EXperiment

use under the 200 feet of water which cover
the Grand Banks, there will be revolu-
ton in the fisheries there. A trial of ex-
perimcnts on the Banks is already prom-
ised At the same time, surer ways of
killing fish are of very doubtful advantage
to the fishermen. Experience shows that

Overcomes every other consideration, and
they end by making the fish scarce and
hard to find. Trawl-tishing has already

BLAcRsNAKE BATDAGE FOR RHEUMATISM.
living bandage, formed of Il blacksnake,
is the latest device for curing infammatory
rheumatism at Danbury, Conn. Good re-
suits are reported of this method of treat
ment. a ease now in hand by the owner
of the snake is that of Mrs. II. W. Stevens,
wife of the Chief Engineer of the Danbury
Fire Department. The mode of treatment
is to take the snake, which is about five
feet long, and wind it about the patients
leg After remaining for twenty minutes
he is put in box. This is done twice, and
sometimes three times a day. A month
ago Mrs. Stevens could walk only with the
aid of crutches. She is now able, it is said,
TO walk with a cane and ent5rtains strong
hope of ultimate recovery. At times the

play and give a painful squeeze to the leg.

We have no wish to decry this periodic
puritic&tiOn, but merely TO point ont rules
for its better conduct and efficiency. The
usual process in households which cannot
afford to have it carried out by special
agency is first to take up the carpets and
sweep the walls and ceilings, and then to
wash the floors. While the latter are dry
ing, work must be found for idle hands,
and they cannot be better employed than
in beating the carpets in the courtyard or
back garden. a work attended with hor-
rid din and cloud Of dust. 1t will not be
unavailing, we know, to complain of the
nOise-no appeal III this direction will gain
moments sympathy; but we hope more
attention Will be paid to the other nui-
Sance. When we reflect on the nature of
the dust thus raised, we are surprised that
sane persons allow to be thus stirred
up under their noses all the nau-
SeorIs accumul2tions of diRing-rOom
bedroom and stair carpets, to say
nothing Of door mats etc. into a fine dust
and which, thus dispersed finds its way
again into our houses in q form most read
lily accessible to our respiratory organs
Indeed. it is fortunate if the dust thus
reused is only nauscous and not effective,
since the des9uamated cuticle of scarlet
fever, the scabS of smallpox, the dried
Sputa of consumphve or whOoping- cough
patients, living parasites, and hairs from
NANCY cats and dogs may thus invade our
rooms Carpet-bcating, we are aware, is
forbidden in public thoroughfares but it
should, in any form, be prohibited within
u reasonable distance of dwelling-houses :;
and for those who cannot afford to pay the
small sum required to have their carpets
and mats properly cleaned, the authorities
should set aside some space, to which, on
stated days and at certain hours. persons
might bring their carpets and have them
beaten. without causing annoyance or dan
ger to themselves or neighbors. Lancet.

He is the nominee of the Democratic Con-

been the custom of the committee TO
rely altogether upon the integrity
and care of the Senate folding-room

received from them without examination
To-day, however, an employe of the COM
mittce discovered, by accidentally opening
one of the dOcumenrs he was about to mail
that instead of Voorhees, speech. the com
