The June number of the New York
Fashion Bazaar is more attractive than
usual. 1t anticipates the coming sea-
son Of light and graceful toilets for
the watering-place and mountain-side
by presenting charming array of
midsummer fashions. The new fab
RIGS and styles for real hot weather,
the zephyrs, ginghams, embroidered
organdie muslins, Chambery batistes,
lawns, and the open-work tissues from
far India, make an enchanting array,
fresh, refined, and luxurious. The
summer styles for children are full
of beauty and variety. A change
has been made in the cover of the
Fashion Bazaar which gives greater
prominence to the excellent colored
plate of children's fashions, which is
one Of the best features of this pupu-
lar monthly. The June number con-
tains the continuation of the excellent
serials by Edna Lyall, Maxwell Gray,
and W. Heimburg, and great varie-
ty of interesting miscellany. A sam
pie copy will be sent to any address
on receipt o. 25 cents by the publish
er, George Munro, II to 27 Vande-
water Street, New York. By sub
scription, So per year.

ence. Science and philosophy agree that
it is not at all improbable that nothing
really exists and that nothing Is, except
perturbations Of brain cells. Anything
that we may think we see may not, after
all, have any existence-at any rate, ii
does not exist as we see It. Do animals
know about ghosts and do they think
they see them? In his latest book Sir
world appears to animals, but he doesn't
enter into the possibilities of superstitions
among dogs and horses, for instance,
Certainly, the world does not appear the
same to the ant that it does to man; and
not quite the same to the dog or the horse,
since the dog and the horse do not laugh.
If we take the conclusions of science re-
specting the development of the intelli-
gence, we ought to be able to believe that
the more intelligent of the lower animals
have superstitions that correspond in
some measure to those of the least intel
ligent human beings.
That many animals reason, draw logical
inferences beyond the operation of in
stinct, is pretty well settled. When a
dog or horse has exhausted all its ex-
perience in attempting to account for
certain phenomena, does it conclude that
the thing is supernatural or out of the
order of explicable phenomena? Novel
lists tell us about the amazing fear Of
dogs and horses ordinarily fearless, when
placed under conditions that excite the
fear of superstitious persons, Are there
facts to warrant this? If dogs and horses
see ghosts they must be capable of the
simplest form of religious emotion; that
is to say, the fear of the inexplicable,
which in the savage is regarded by science
as the beginning of religion. Dogs have
what in science passes for moral sense.
They are conscious of wrong doing and
practice self restraint. Of course it all
grows out of the experience that the do
ing of certain things is attended with
more pain than the momentary pleasure,
but this, science tells us, is the basis Of
the moral sense. At all events, science
is bound to admit the potentiality Of
superstitions in animals. - Milwaukee

The Austrian Journalist.

The Austrian journalist has the same
literary methods as his German relative,
but he must supply livelier and larger
paper TO his readers, who are rather
frivolous lot, and he has not such anus
ing advertisement columns. Frequently
the Austrian editor makes extensive use
of his imagination, and he can invent

flowers was doing no business. They
therefore took her basket and sold
flowers for about three hours, making a

to the poor woman. The story did not
have the least foundation in fact, of

Among the passengers on the north
bound train over the California and Ore
gon line were two very small travellers,
small in stature, but feeling wonderfully
big and independent over feat which
they have just accomplished-that of
crossing the great American continent
unaccompanied by parent or guardian.
Flora and Arthur Wertheim. the trav-
elers in question, are aged respectively
6 and years, and they are all the way
from New York, where they have lived
ever since they first saw the light
Il hain't got no mother" said Arthur
to Chronicle reporter who saw the
youngsters at the Oakland pier, and
fathers up in Portland, where's he's
been for bout two years.
"You mean Portland" suggested the
reporter.
That's what | said-Porkland " said
the little fellow. "Sister an came out
in tourist car, No. we didn't have
anybody looking after us, this rather
disdainfully. 81 was the boss o the
trip, bought the tickets an carried the
lunch basket, an did everything"
The children had cleaner faces than

ment house, and their clothes, though
rather worn and patched. here and there,
were also clean, or as nearly clean as
they might be expected to be after a

went one not emitting to emphasize the
tourist" "These tourist cars amt very
high toned, but they'll do for poor folks.

Il want some peanuts" chirped the
little maiden.
''Shes all the time wanting me to
spend money on nonsense" said the boy,
ignoring the remark so far as direct re-
ply was concerned. "but it takes coin to
travel, and you can't fool it away and
have huff to take you through when

When this chunk of philosophy had

Levi has at last "got into the pa
pers" about the entennial celebration
he jumped in. The Army and
Navy Journal said his guns were dirty.
And now whole columns of type must
be made to do duty to retrieve Lewis
centennial fame. Nonsense There
wouldn't have been any centennial il
it hadn't been for Levi. What if his
guns were dirty, isn't he son of the
Revolution? OF course he is, and
that's enough.

THE LOCAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,

The distribution of the population
in Vermont, with the existence of
only two large commercial centers, is
such that the reading of newspapers
has been, perhaps, less general than
in other New England states, and
their circulation has been more limit
ed.
Vermont can boast of a local week
ly press, however, not surpassed un-
der equal conditions by that of any
other New England state for tone,
vigor and home influence; and it is a
pleasure to note in every portion of
the state an improvement and advance
on the part of the local weekly press,
that is evidence of the increasing de-
mand for newspapers-a demand that
has developed wonderfully during the
last few years, and that in itself dem
onstrates the growth and progress of
the people and does credit to the
state.
A daily newspaper like the Herald,
with it's more metropolitan character,
freighted each morning with the news
not only of Vermont but of the whole
globe, and great state weekly news
paper like the Weekly Herald, filled
with a condensation of the world ac-
tivities and the news of the whole
state, have a value and interest quite
their own and distinct from that of the
local weekly newspapers; and their
rapid growth and increasing circula-
ton attest equally the progress of the
people.
The local town newspaper, how
ever, closely Unidentified with the in
terests of the locality that supports it,
is often too little appreciated. There
is no more important and valuable
factor in the progress of any commu-
nifty than live local newspaper; and
the people of its town cannot better
demonstrate their good sense and
foresight than by giving it their hearty
support. The local paper will be
very much what they make it; and
every member of the community
should see that one of the most prac-
tical and effective methods of pro-
noting his individual interests is. to
encourage and foster and aid the To-
cal newspaper which stands before
the outside world as no individual can,
as the exponent and representative of
the locality in which it exists.-Rut-
land Herald.

Laura Bridgeman, the famous
blind, deaf mute died at the Perkins
Institute, Boston last Friday. Her
name has been widely known by rea-
son of the wonderful development that
the devoted teachings of the institu-
tion's instructors wrought in her mind.
Though possessed of but one unim-
paired faculty, that of touch, Miss
Bridgman became cultivated woman,
fairly well acquainted with the world
and its life, as far as it was in the
power of language, without physical
demonstration, to convey ideas. She
was 60 years old. She was made
widely famous by Charles Dickens in
his "American Notes." published
more than quarter Of century ago.
