ZGOOD ADvICE.-To use this terse
and homely phrase my friend, let us
mind our own business. There is
enough to decide in our own lives; let
US be unmindful of the affairs of others
except in so far as we can be helpful
and of real benefit. Let us be chart
table in our conclusions, mindful of
the fact that we so often need the
cloak of charity ourselves. AS we
would wish to be judged, SO let us
judge others always with a kindly
spirit, ever with belief in the better
self. Strew a flower where others
throw stone. Fill your life so full
of sunshine that evil reports will find
no place where you are. Stop petty
scandals by some pretty story of wo
manly kindness. Make your life a
bright spot in this world, and where
you see frown throw smile, whether
it be morn, dusk or night, let the sunny
side of your nature always be at full
meridian.

A person about to be married has
Grafton against the constant neglect
which the bridegroom receives from
the press, from the friends of the con-
tracing parties, and often from their
intermediate families. All interest
centres in the bride, whose dress is
described in 'voluminous detail, whose
bouquet is not considered beneath
mention, and whose face blushing be-
meath her veil is the most pleasing at
traction of the wedding. The brides
maids, lovely girls fiuttering in dainty
colors, are worth more than a passing
notice. The uShers, the guests, and
even the organist, are spoken of in
an appreciative manner. Sometimes
there is consideration shown to the
sexton of the church. But where is
the groom? There are columns of de-
scriptions of weddings in the daily
press and in these columns the per-
sonality of the groom is passed over
without glmmer of apology. How
does the groom dress? What is his
choice of flowers? Do his gloves fit?
Are his shoes of patent leather? No
body knows these interesting details,
although they are undoubtedly impor
tant to the neglected man. His pres
ence is supposed from occasional men
ton of the ''young COUPLE" and he
probably may be seen sulking around
the corner of the pulpit; but he is evil

The story of Edison's first marriage
shows how completely he is dominated
by the experimenting fever. He had
never thought of getting married, but
when some of his friends urged upon
him the ACCESSIBILITY of taking wife
he assented, and said that if they
would find a nice girl he would marry
her. He finally picked out pleasant
faced girl from his factory and asked
her to marry him. She consented, and
Edison agreed to leave his beloved
laboratory for a days wedding trip.
On the way from the chapel in which
they were married to the railway sta
ton the carriage passed the laborato-
ry. The temptation was too much.
Edison stopped the carriage, and tell
ing the bride that he would follow her
to the station in time to catch the
train he plunged into some expert
ment that had occurred to him during
the church services. Hour after hour
passed. The poor bride waited all the
afternoon in the station, and was then
driven back to the house. 1t was II
o'clock at night before his assistants
could tear Edison away from his lab
aratory and get him home. When he
is at work Edison loses all account of
time. He will keep the whole estab-
ishment on a rush for hours at a
stretch, and seem astonished when
any one hints that it might be well to
get something to eat. He is capable
of working all day and night without
showing fatigue.

Formerly sardines were brought to
the canneries by the men who caught
them, but the desire of the Gamers to
secure the largest possible quantities
led them to introduce the practice of
sending for the fish, which has since
become universal. A fleet of 125
boats, with about 200 men, are now
regularly employed in collecting and
running them to the factories. All
have holds in the center, covered with
matches to protect the herring from
the sun and from the water. When
there is a calm a small steamer tows
the boat.
The making of the tin cans or boxes
in which the products are packed is
quite an important branch of the work
at cannery. Two sets of men are
employed, the can makers, who man
ipulate the machines by which the tin
is cut, bent and stamped into the va
rious shapes and sizes required, and
the seamers, who with a soldering
iron, join the ends together and in
sert the bottoms. After the cans have
been filled they go to sealers, who
solder on the covers, making them
perfectly air tight.

A story is told of a distinguished
lawyer in Boston. A physician came
to him in great distress. Two sisters
living in the same house had babes

The Kerosene Lamp.

A very desirable, if not indeed a
necessary feature of the sitting-room
lamp is a brightcolored shade-either
a soft rose or a pale yellow-in order
that the influence of the light may be
softened and toned. A green or a
white shade is as impossible with a
truly cheerful sitting-room as a black
one, according to the New York Trib-
une. A lamp with a handsome shade
looks well enough without its being
dressed up like little old woman in
petticoats, either of tissue paper or
silk. 1t is not a mere matter oftaste
for in fact these dresses are danger
Gus, but they are too fussy to the
refined eye, and as for contributing
a wholesome sense of home comfort,
which is the especial purpose of a
lamp, they do anything else. The
lamps most attractive, safe and use
full are some species of the circular
burner. The care of these is stated
fully in circulars which 60 with them,
but in general lamps are kept in or
der by simple rules. Clean the Chin
neys every day, trimming the wicks
of all burnt parts daily by scissoring,
and renew them before they get too
short. Fill the lamps fresh each
evening. Carry lamps with care and
place them on some solid table or
the room, where children romping or
other persons moving about briskly
may come in contact with them The
oil can should be cleaned occasionally
with tablespoonful of soda dissolv-
ed in a quart of water Never leave
the light turned down, as in such
cases it will always smoke. Either
let it burn at full or put it out alto
gether. When there are two or more
lamps lit in one room their shades
should be of the same color or of
harmonizing colors. At this season
especially the lamp is an object to
take good care of-New England

strong men of the party, and will I'M
doubtedly be prominent person in
tie Spartan band. The Argus of last
week, whose editorials been in Wash

of he speaks, says that sit is likely
that Vermont will be honored, and
the high personal character and
large legal ability of Hon. H. H.
Powers receive fitting recognition by
his being appointed on the Judiciary
Committee" This is a most impor-
tant committee and if the Judge is
placed upon it, it will not only be a
fitting recognition of his ability, but
a compliment to Vermont, which is
noted for sending her best men to
congress. In this connection we pub
lish the following from the Washing
ton Post
Judge HI. III. Powers, the new con-
gresham from Vermont, is some
where near the near half-century
mark and is fine-looking gentleman
of courtly demeanor. For fourteen
years he was on the State supreme
bench and, in point Of legal erudition,
will rank with the best iurists in
either branch of Congress. He is
very popular in the Green Mountain
State, and was greatly talked of for
the Senate, but declined to become
rival of his personal friend, Redfield
Proctor. 1t is pretty certain that
Speaker Crisp will name Judge Pow
ers among minority members of the

VERMONT IN THE CIVIL Wharf.-The
following interesting memoranda will
show how the general officers of Yer
mont fought during the war of the
rebellion: Vermont sent about 81 900
men to the war. She had one major
general, William F. Smith; three bre-
vet major generals, George J. Stan
nard, Lewis A. Grant and William
Wells; four brigadier-generals, John
w. Phelps, Stephen Thomas, James
M. Warner and E. H. Stoughton;
five brevet acknowledgements, George
p. Foster, John r. Lewis, William
w. Henry, Edward H. Ripley and
Charles b. Stoughton; total ID. OF
these the three brevet major gener-
ais were wounded from two to five
times, two of the brigadier-gener-
ais were wounded, and all of the
brevet brigadier-generals we're woun-
ded which shows conclusively that
the general officers of Vermont led
their men and were under fire with
them.
