The widespread superstition that FRI
day is an unlucky day is often a damsg-
ing nuisance. Many people refuse to
start a new enterprise, upon journey,
or consummate any important business
transaction upon that day. All this is
of course ridiculous, but nothing dies
slower than an old superstition which is
worn with centuries. To show the utter
fallacy of the theory that Friday is un-
lucky, we quote the following facts from
an exchange:
Lee surrendered on Friday.
Moscow was burned on Friday.
Washington was born on Friday.
Shakespeare was born on Friday.
America was discovered on Friday.
Richmond was evacuated on Friday.
The Bastile was destroyed on Friday.
The Nav flower was landed on Friday,
Queen Victoria was married on Fri
day.
King Charles l. was beheaded ON Fri.
day.
Fort Sumter was hombarded on Friday.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born on Fri
day.
Julius Caesar was assassinatsd on Fri
day.
The battle OF Marengo was fought on
Friday.
The battle of Waterloo was fought on
Friday.
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought
on Friday,
Joan of Arc was burned at the stake
on Friday.
The battle of New Orleans was fought
on Friday.
The Declaration of Independence was
signed on Friday.

ENLIGHTNING A CoUNTRYMAN.

Gus Mortimer, the theatical manager
relates this incident
He was standing in front OF the thea
ire one evening where Marie VAIN
wright was billed to play in Twelfth
Night" when a countryman came along
md looked long and admiringly at the
autographs Of the star.
"And that's gal, is t7' asked the
countryman.
"Yes, that's girl"
Purity, amt sheF
"Oh, yes, quite pretty"
The countryman studied the name
md the face awhile, and then said;
81 wonder if that amt the same gal I
'aw once in play called "Ten Nights
in Bar-room P"
"Same girl"
"Wall, that was a mighty good play
,tranger. If she was playin' that to-
night it would catch me, sure"
"5ame girl and same play"
The countryman spelled out the name
on the bills few times and asked
"Wall, now, if it's Ten Nights in a
Bar-room, what do they call it Twelfth
Night for?'
Il knew the countryman ought to see
the play" said Mr.. Mortimer, land 90
old him it was called Twelfth Night
because this was two nights more"
The countryman bought ticket and
went in,

NEWS AND NOTES.

The American MdchineSt thinks the
Brattleboro Ph9hir is quite to modest
when it says that the next ten years Is
likely to see a growth in the develop
ment of VeImont's resources far greater
than that of the last ten, for with some
knowledge of the wealth Vermont pos
-esses in her granite quarries, there need
hardly be limit to what may be done
in that direction.
Hon. Edward Conant, now at the
head of the Randolph Normal school, 10
preparing a geography and history OF
Vermont for use in the public schools.
Col. Tracy has spent most of the week
in town and in Rutland, where he went
to perfect arrangements for the encamp-
ment of the State Department Of the G.
A. R., which will be held in February.
Gen. Alger of Michigan, the National
Commander, is expected to attend.
The members of the order in this State
number j156, according to recent re-
turns to the headquarters here.-MiddLe-
bury Register.
1t was bad weather that spoiled the
holiday trade of Vermont merchants; in
New York the war on the electric lights,
and the consequent darkness Of the city's
streets, did 1t.
Editor Lucius Bigelow of the Port
land OregOnidn, who was a soldier him
self, has this to say on the general sub
ject of pensions The people are just;
lhev are ready 10 say with Secretary
Noble that the government should see
to it that no dependent veteran suffers
want or is obliged to slink to the aims
house or appeal to the cold compassion
of friends foI "a little earth for charity;'
but the people are already disguised
with the Tanner demagogue philosophy
of the endless, undischargable debt that
the Nation owes the soldier. The spirit.
ual obligation is unratable, uudischarg-
able. as is all sincerely unselfish, manly,
heroic public service but the material
debt has its practical limitations, and no
party can accept the Tanner philosophy
that the Nation owes the soldier the
earth and the government must give it
to him by instalments whenever, speak
ing by the Tanners, he wants it,"
The influenza which, so prevalent in
Europe, promises to make things lively
for United States people also, is some
thing to be sneezed at. The sufferers
from it can have the consolation Of
knowing that it is the fashion, anyhow.
The importance Of rotation Of crops is
yearly becoming more important, Too
much cultivation impoveriehes the soil.
1t must have rest; and the presence Of
the grasses favors recuperation through
nutrifiChtion.

one is living and only two SURVIVE who
witnessed the running away OF the
pond. The breaking Of the barrier
which confined the waters was a subject
of much controversy, Several law suits
were begun against the leaders in the
enterprise. but nothing ever came of
them. 1t was finally conceded that 1t
was well that the pond was drained
when it was, for.'as the timber was
cleared away and nothing was left to
bind together the frail sand barrier it
must some day have broken and the
longer the delay the greater would have
been the damage, and undoubtedly life
must have been lost.
These few facts in regards to an event
that was very startling and of great i'm
portance to the inhabitants OF this
region were told me by one who was an
eye witness of the affair and is un-
toubtedlv cOrrect.-Iond Vdugn in

Does Experience Count ?

1t does, in every line of business, es-
pe cialIy in compoundIng and preparing
medicine. This Is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hoods Sarsaparilla
over other preparations, as shown by the
remarkable cures it has accomplished,
The head of the firm of G. l. Hood &
Co. is a thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
MIS- whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also a
member of the Massachusetts, Pharma-
reutal Assoclatiods, and continues
actively devoted to supervising the prep
.ration of and managing the business
connected with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built upon
the most substantial foundation. In its
preparation there is represented all the
knowledge which modern research in
medical science has developed, Icom-
1ined with long experience, brain-work
and experiment. 1t is only necessary to
give this medicine fair trial to realize
its great curative value.

ROOM For TIE CHURCH.

The Christian Inquirer (Baptist) de-
precates the modern tendency toward
an excess of organizations, which are
more or less allied with the church, but
tend to usurp its place and do it's proper
work. Tho Inquirer illustrates the point
as follows:
"Is there anything left for the church
Of Christ to dop Such was the question
we were constrained to ask on recent
Sabbath, after hearing long list OF
notices in which the work of the church
seemed to be parceled out to various 80
cietles, circles, clubs and associations,
and nothing left for it to complish in
its own capacity. There was the Young
Peoples Association with its business
and entertainment. There WAS the
Young Peoples Union, general 81 ciety
OF young people, and these were all
asked to leave .heir own church. and go
off three or four miles on Sunday
evening tramp. There was the Young
Mems Christian Association that adVer-
tised a series of musical entertainments,
for the people of all denominations, and
they wanted one evening of the week
Then there was the Pastors Aid So
ciety, which the poor pastor told us
ohetA "do cbAb VI aoNOi . W.
structionist Society," Then there was
the Society of Christian Endeavor,'
which h is its organ ization, pledges, ma
chlnery and all Tie adjuncts, which the
pastor told us that however much il
endeavored, did not succeed, in doing
much. Then came the Sewing Circle
which was monthly concern that did
a little sewing, a great deal Of talking.
and now and then had some 'sociahlps
with concerns and amusemeuts. Then
here was the Foreign Mission G rcle'
and the Home Mission Circle, that
owed each ITS own cause 30 much that
its members could not meet together to
pray in The afternoon, but must each
nave its prayer M citing, though the
number was 81 small that all present
shiVered with the sense of personal iso-
lation. Then there was a notice of a
meeting of Kings Daughter, society
ievsed by sjmsbody to do something
that the church was supposed to he
neglecting. Next came a notice of the
Helping Hand Society, organ to
prove, as near es we could get at it, thi t
three times ten are twenty-five. Then
there was a notice of Band of Hope,

hat ought to be taught them in the
Sunday School. Then Glass No. 10 gave
notice of a Broom Drilp on the night
# the Young Peoples prayer m mreting
The poor puzzled pastor held some
Dther notices in his hand, but laid them
Town, modestly saying Il havr been
rying for several weeks to get one even

prayer for a revival of spiritual life

Down the mountain road from Snow
Land, the home of Santa Claus. flew a
dashing sleigh drawn by two reindeer.
Dasher and Prancer. The driver,
Robin Goodfellow was funny looking
little man; he had bright, twinkling
eyes that flashed out from under his fur
cap and seemed to see everything all
about him.. He was done up in a big
fur coat, which made him look like a
great shaggy bear. He was Santa
Claus's agent and confidential clerk
and attended to the children's depart.
ment entirely. He hat started out that
day to look up'poor children and to col
lect the mail-matter for Santa Claus.
For about Christmas time there is a big
bundle of letters every day, and some
times Dasher and Prancer talked about
it on their way home, and wondered
what the children could find to say that
made such heavy load for them every
night.
This day as Robin was coming down
the road he spied small house, all by
itself, on the side of the mountain, so he
thought he would drive there and see il
any family with children were living in
the house. Pretty soon he drew up be
