MlODLEBURY w. G. T. U.

The pouring rain Wednesday afternoon
and evening did not prevent a large at
tendance upon the parlor meeting of the
W. c. I. L. at the hOspitable home of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. 4. Monroe. Between
fifty and sixty, both old and young were
present. The departments of scientific
temperance instruction, evangelistic,
missionary and legislative work made
up the business of the afternoon. Re
freShments were served at about six
o'clock, after which a very pleasant eve
ming was spent in listening to choice
music, reading reports, etc. The w. c.
L. L. take this opportunity to extend
hearty thanks to the gentlemen and la.
dies who so kindly contributed to the
enjoyment of the evening by music both
vocal andinstrumental.

FINAL ADJOURNMENT.

The House of Representatives has
adopted on its part a joint resolution pro-
viding for final adjournment on Wednes-
day morning next. If that is done, both
Houses must get through an amazing
amount of work in very short time, for
probably not exceeding one-half of the
measures proposed have yet been acted
upon.
While it is not desirable to prolong the
session undulv. it is to be hoped that final
adjournment will not take place till the
important matters have been acted upon
Understandings Much of the time of
the members has been occupied with To-
cal measures. such as those relating to
the division of Rutland. and now that
they are out of the way so far as the
House is concerned there is opportunity
for consideration of something of general
interest. The railroad commission bill
deserves careful attention, and 50 dc
other bills too numerous to mention. A.
the legislature meets but once in two
years. short sessions may not be alto
gether commcndablc. if in order to make
them short it is necessary TO pass over
important subjects demanding legiSla-
tion. or to half do that which should be
well done.

WRONG TACTICS.

The Knights of Labor or their friends
have been guilty of Il dastardly act at
Chicago. Two weeks ago the knights
employed by Phil. Armour and other
large packers struck. The packers then
sent to the Eastern cities and procured
help, and finally the knights have come
to terms. 1t seems to have been inn
pressed upon some one of them or their
friends that Armour ought to be removed
because he had done what he could to
protect his rights, and so they caused to
be sent to his house Il bag of bucllwheat
flour in which strychnine had been
placed. Luckily it was not used, and
no harm came of it.
The representatives of labor cannot
expect to maintain their cause by such
actions and it is to be regretted that they
resort to tactics which cannot but preju-
dice law-abiding citizens against them.

What Yong Lanies shoun,d Do.

DO try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of your
sex. The incapacity of the female mind
for accuracy is a standard argument
against the equality of the sexes.
do try and be sensible. 1t is not a
particular sign of superiority to talk
like fool.
do be ready in time for church. If
you do not respect yourself sufficiently
to be punctual, respect the feelings of
other people.
DO avoid causes of irritation in your
family circle; reflect that home is the
place to be agreeable.
DO be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private affairs.
DO be contented; 'martyrs" are
detestable; cheerful, happy spirit is
infectious; You can carry it aboXt with
you like a sunny atmosphere.
do cultivate the habit of listening
to others; it will make you an invalu-
able member of society, TO say nothing
of advantages it will be to you when
you marry every man likes to talk about
himself; a good listener makes a de-
lightfui wife.
do AVOID whispering; it is as bad
as GiSling. Both are to be condemned
there is no excuse for either one of
them. If you have anything to say, say
it.; if you have not, do held your tongue
altogether. Silence is golden.
do be truthful; do avoid exaggera-
ton. If you mean mile, say mile,
not a mile aud half. If you mean one,
say one, and not dozen.

bold managed TO answer, between her
energetic efforts to straighten the tangled
tlaxen locks of a restless small boy in a
very natty new spring suit.
"Mr. Burt sends you big bunch of
roses every day." said Rolly, who. no
doubt, believed himself polite in i'll
dorsing the maternal opinion of the
subject.
"Only the roses happen to be wild
flowers of the widest varieties! should
like TO know from what mysterious
suburban nook he gets the lovelythings, "
said Aggie.

to-day?-he said he did, anyhowr'
interpolated Rolly, looking seditious.
"And think he had good deal rath-
er not" Aggie said, half-roguishly and
half'thoughttully, as she tied pictur-
esque cartwheel sun-hat over the shin
ing kinks and coils of her chestnut hair.
II have a notion that he does not know
as much about the floral offerings as he
pretends, that he is appropriating the
credit of somebody else's DEVOTION"
Burt Mortemar wouldn't be guilty
of such a petty pretense," Mrs. New
bold declared, in prompt defense of her
fayorite. "Why would he want to take
the credit of sending few worthless
wild flowers, when he is rich enough to
afford a whole conservatory? He only
