Care for Musical instruments.

Neither apiano nor an organ should
be left open at night, or when not in
use. The changes of temperature are
very hurtful TO the tone of any IN
strument, and especially the gather
ing of dampness, which not only in
terferes with the tone and quality of
strings and reeds, but is very likely
seriously to affect the works. Pianos
in particular should be kept in as
even a temperature as possible, since
they are affected by alterations of
heat and cold, dryness and moisture;
if thus exposed, they require frequent
tuning, and are not satisfactory in
action or tone. Care is also desirable
in regard to other stringed instru-
ments-the banjos, guitars, and like.
All fine instruments should be kept in
cases lined with baize or flannel

True, Every Word of 1t.

An editorial in "A recent number of
the Christian Union touches upon a
subject that comes close to the heart
of many an unknown newspaper writ
er, to whom comes the bitterness of
discouragement because of work he
believes is unappreciated or useless.
This is what the Christian Union says,
and it is true, every word of il:
The other day reader ofthe Chris
tian Union returned to the editorial
office a short editorial which had APP
peared in these columns, with the
simple message "Thank You" writ
ten on a slip of paper. Ii took but
minute to do it, but that min
ute was well spent. because it con
veyed to the writer of the article the.
inspiration of knowing that he had
helped some one. His words, how
ever unsatisfactory to himself at the
moment had not heenspoken in vain.
1t lis such spontaneous srecognitions of
service done as this which make the
work of life easier, and which tighten
its burdens. It takes but a moment
to speak this word of recognition.
and yet it remains for the most part
uRspoken not because people are un-
grateful, but because they are not i'm
the habit of expressing gratitude:
they assume that he who speaks or
does something which helps them
does not stand i'm need of any re-
cognition. This is a great mistake.
Every man and woman who speaks
or acts with the hone ofhelping needs
the response which assures them that
they have not spoken or acted in
vain. The greatest, no less than the
weakest, stand in constant need of
human fellowship and recognition

to the paper contributed to Mr.. John

So. Fork of Kings River California
1t furnishes maps of this section and
illustrated by most admirable en-
cravings of the wonderful scenery
there existing. The engravings are
chiefly from the pencil of Mr.. Charles
d. Robinson. These gentlemen, as
well as the editors of the Century,
especially Mr.. Johnson, have taken
a great personal interest in the forest
reserves in California, and are worthy
of the great consideration, both from
their experience end intelligence. The
magazine article mentioned advo-
Gates the extension of the Sequoia
National Park so as to embrace the
Kings River region and the Kaweah

diaries are there set forth. The sub
ject is recommended to your favor

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Risel for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to the fight have gOnel
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play;
The past and the future are nothing,
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future
OF gaining some hard fought field;
OfstOrming some airy fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield.
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor, God grant it mayl
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need so great as to-day.
Risel If the past detains you,
Her sunshines and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of vain regret
Sad or bright, she is lifeless forever;
Cast her phantom arms away
Nor look back save to learn the lesson
Of a nobler life to-day.
Rise for the day is passing;
The low sound that you sea rcely hear
Is the enemy marching 10 battle.
Arisel for the foe is here
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams of coming battle
You may wake to find it past!

Attitude to Assume While sleeping.

ANbiNNAS " HSShHle Wtlie OlttpinBt
First of all, theattitude for sleeping
should be assumed Immediately upon
retiring to bed. "Sleep not on your
back like dead man. was one oftEe
maXims issued 10y Confucius for the
guidance of his disciples This was
good advice, for although lying on
the back may secure the greatest
amount of rest to the muscular sys-
TEN, yet this is the position assumed
in the most exhausting diseases. and
it is generally hailed as a token of
revival when "A patient turns on the
side. 1t is better to go to sleep on
the right side, for then the stomach
is very much in the position of bot
tie turned upside down, and the con-
tents are aided in passing out by
gravitation. If one goes TO sleep on
the left side the operation of empty
ing the stomach of its contents is like
drawing water from a well. Itispar-
ticularly unwise to go TO sleep on the
back after a meal. The weight ofthe
digestive organs and that of the food
resting on the great vein of the body
near the backbone congresses il and
arrests the flow of the blood more or
less. If the arrest is partial the sleep
is disturbed and there are unpleasant
dreams. If the meal has been recent
or hearty, the arrest is more decided
and the varying sensation of night
mare are experienced. 1t is essential
for refreshing sleep to have the feet
warm and the headcool, and the head
should not be raised more than six
inches above the level of the bed,-

A New Cana

The young people ofLewiston, Me-,
have new scheme for entertainment.
At a gathering the other night q
smelling contest was the thing that
made the most fun, according to the
Lewistown Journal. There has been
obtained from a local druggist eight
bottles containing as many different
liquids Of different odors, all COM
mon but one, and each number on
the corks. The game was to smell of
these and identify them, and write
the decision on a card. Now, it is a
well-known fact to those who have
studied the matter that the sense of
smell is the most deceptive of all the
senses, for the reason that after
smelling of the three things in quick
succession the nose refuses to do duty
with most people, and beyond that
everything is mixed and confused. A
young lady and gentleman each
identified seven out of eight of them /;
nine more identified all but two. But
generally the things written down
were wide of the mark. Bisulphide of
carbon-the only uncommon one
proved a sticker. 1t was written down
as extract of onions, oil of birthstone,
laudanum, boiled cabbage and white
rose. The contest was the funniest
kind of fun.

InnproXInR Her Memory

A wliterfn the Kansas City Time;
relates an amusing story of a young
lady who was trying to improve heI
memory. She confided in a gentle
man acquaintance that she was poor
at dates, sad failure on places and
weak on events. "How may l learn
to retain things in my mind as they
should be?" she exclaimed. as if in
disgust at her intellectual shortcom-
ings. cob, that is easy" replied he,
call you have to do in each case is to
form some little couplet with any
thing you wish to remember and you
never will forget it." Explain, -
she said. "For instance" the gen.
tleman replied:
"In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue"
The young lady was in a high state
of glee at such a practical and really
beautiful manner of aiding memory
and her thanks were profuse. Time
went by--two days l believe-when
the two met again. "How are you
getting on with the couplets ?" asked
he. "Capitally," she exclaimed. "a
pound of candy goes that you don't
remember what l told you, verba-
tim," he banteringly said, and she
took the bet on the spot. Then she
ratified off the words:
"In fourteen hundred and ninety-three
Columbus sailed the deep blue sea-"

Savings Banks,

The Lamoille County Savings
Bank & Trust Company of Hyde

why it should receive a share OF

FIRST.--It is unquestionably
safe. It has a full paid-up capital

tional liability of the stockholders,

@. S. Page and FL. M. Mcfarland,
are men who have long been known
to the people of Lamoille County,
not only as successful business
men, but as men of extensive ex-
perience in loaning money. Under
this management the people know
that economy, conservatism, and
sound Judgment will characterize
the institution. It makes no loans
where the security is not person
ally known to some one of the Di-
Irectors, without a careful investi-
cation of the property loaned upon,
and depositors are cordially invited
to examine the loans Of the Bank,
and judge for themselves whether
their deposits are being judiciously
invested Less than one-tWenty-
third 1880 of it's assets are in
vested outside of Lamoille County
and the adjoining towns Of Lowell,
Hardwick, Craftsbury and Bakers
field, so that depositors can at all
times see where their money is in
vested and KNOW IT rs SAFE.
