Drill for Women.

Practice in parliamentary drill is
striking and important feature of some
organizations of women and cannot be
too highly commended. Not one woman
in thousand understands the shortest
and businesslike way of putting mo-
tions, electing officers and transacting
the general affairs of an assembly.
"Rise, address the chair, wait for recog-
milton, then state your objections or
amendments" was the terse advice
given by capable woman, who was
presiding over a meeting where each
woman was whispering to her neighbor.
A manual of parliamentary customs is
an excellent book for the library table,
and very short study Of its contents is
sufficient to familiarize any bright
woman with the most that she needs to
know concerning the management of a
public meeting. Every woman is likely
to be at some time in a position where
such knowledge will be of value.-New
York Ledger.

An Example That Should BE Follo'


Recently few ladies of prosperous
Long Island village organized q society
to encourage the young people OF the
village to study American trees, plants
and flowers, and to assist in the preser-
walton of native plants in the neighbor-
hood.
The ladies found that great deal of
interest was taken in the work of the
society; and by means Of it desire was
aroused in the village to cultivate wild
flowers and native plants.
This desire suggested the advantage
of possessing plot of ground of sutfi-
cient area, where American trees and
plants could be established and protect
ed, and where not only could the men,
bers of the society find illustrated the
trees and plants which they were en-
gagged in studying, but which would
serve as kind of public playground.
The laws of New York permit associa-
tions Of private persons to secure lands
for parks and public Fairgrounds, inde-
pendent of municipal authority, and to
employ officers who shall have power to
protect such grounds.
Under this law, and by the aid of pri-
vate subscriptions raised in the town, q
little park of six acres, on the shore Of a
pond which is centrally located, was
purchased and forever set apart as a
planting ground for native flowers and
trees.
The example of the ladies who formed
the society which organized and carried
out this movement is worthy of imita-
ton everywhere. Patriotism is stimu-
lated by arousing and cultivating the
love for American trees, plants, birds and
natural objects, through plot of ground
provided for such purpose
Furthermore, such parks and each So
cieties help to attach the people to their
native place and lessen in them the de-
sire to wander away to the Cities
Youths Companion.

Mothers and Sisters in Politics.

The sex which is first in the Sunday
school and last in the Jail, which is most
strongly represented at church, and at
prayer meetings, and at missionary
meetings, and most feebly represented
in the liquor saloons and tobacco shops
of the land, which does the least of the
worlds preaching and the most of its
practicing, which makes poor figure
in battle between Christian nations
and a splendid figure in battle between
right and wrong-such sex forms a
very large part of the power that makes
for righteousness. To turn this purify
ing stream away from politics is equiva-
lent to asserting that politics has no
need of righteousness. - Wives and

ANTICIPATION.

She sits in dreamy silence while she waits
A silence hushed and sacred and serene,
Wistful her eyes, ecstatic all her men,
Waiting the opening OF the mystic gates
OF life unto soul, by the weird fates
Who out of nothingness, from realms unseen,
Summon a soul to lofty lot, or mean
To share perforcc in earth's dread, loves and
hates.
She recks not of tho futures bale or bliss,
She dreams of baby hands, and lips and eyes,
OF dimpled feet, all of herself IL part,
OF the deep rapture of the first faint kiss,
OF hushing on her breast its wailing cries,
OF pressing it forever 10 her heart.

MRS. w. A. BUTTON.

Mrs A Sophia Rathan, wife of Deacon W. A
Dutton, whose death was announced in The
Phoenix last week, was born in Dummerston in
1924. She was one of the five children of John
and Rhoda Kathan She lived in Dummerston
until her marriage to Mr.. Dutton, which took
place in 1850. After living for four years in Brat
tleboro Mr.. and Mrs. button moved to SherbroOke,
=. O., where they remained for II years, return
ing to BrattlebOro in 1869. In addition to her
husband Mrs. button leaves a brother, Frank
Kathan of Westmoreland, n. H. and two sisters,
Mrs. L. G.. Cole of West Bratteboro, and Mrs.
Deacon A. A. Dutton of Dummerston. Her
brothers and sisters who are now dead were John
II. Kathan, a well-known Brattleboro business
man who was at one time partner Of the late
Deacon Jacob Estey; Henry Kathan, a Brattle-
boro res ident who died 20 years ago; Mrs. Wilder
Knight, the mother of Mrs H. f. Bond and Mrs.
land, now of Fitchburg, Mass. Mrs. Dutton suf-
fered an attack Of spinal meningitis 10 years ago,
and had been an invalid ever since that time.
One o knew her well pays this warm tribute to
her memory: Mrs. button was a woman of un-
usual natural gifts, of clear and penetrating in
telligence, tender sympathetic heart, and much
practical wisdom. She became Christian very
early in life, was Loyalty attached to the church.
and very active in all good work as long as she
was well Her Christian character was marked
| by great simplicity, depth and humility, Her in
| innate and ready sympathy, and good sense made
her a helper to lean upon, neighbor to love, and
| the trusted friend of children. In her earlier
| years she was an unusually successful teacher
Her Christian life deepened in tone as i'll health
made suffering rather than action her part. Sh,
! was able, however, to conduct her own household
| affairs up to a quite recent date. Her married
! life, extending over 40 years, was one Of unbrok
| en- affection and confidence: the best witness OF
| the true love that cemented il, the best cOnSOla
| ton of the husband who mourns her, and tn
| sufficient surety of the enduring character of
union which was but begun on earth

SOUND OF a SUNBEAM.


Even the Rays of Light Have "a Way Of
Making Themselves Heard.
One of the most wonderful discoveries
In science that has been made within
the last year or two. SAYS the Yankee
Blade, is the fact that beam of light
produces sound. A beam Of sunlight Is
thrown through lens on glass vessel
that contains lampblacA, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances. A disc
having Sits or openings cut in il is
made to revolve swiftly in this beam Of
light so as to cut It up, thus making al
ternate flashes of light and shadow.
On putting the ear to the glass vessel
strange sounds are heard so long as the
flashing beam is falling on the vessel
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight is
caused to pass through prism, 50 as to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum or rainbow. The disc is turned.
and the colored light Of the rainbow Is
made to break through it.
Now place the ear TO the vessel con-
tanning the silk, wool, or other material.
As the colored lights of the spectrum
fall upon it, sounds win be given by
different parts of the spectrum, and
there viii be silence in other parts
For instance, IL the vessel contains
red worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds win be given Only
feeble sounds will be heard IL the red
and blue parts of the rainbow fall
upon the vessel, and other colors make
no sound at all. Green silk gives sound
best in red light.
Every kind of material gives more or
less sound in different colors, and utters
no sound in others.

Richer, brighter, better, broader-heritage OF

Past the vavering, girlish fancies, past the fu-

For her heart had found its double-settled now

So she dreamed OF happy home life in to-mor-

Home where she could sit IN silence, sit and
love her life away;
Where the Joy OF loving deeply brings 10
thought save that OF bliss,
where the sorrovs born Of living fee at touch
OF husbands kiss,
Where the strong arm is protector. and the weak
heart strong Gl~ay,
Where tic cyuics snarl is vanquished by the
sunburst Of loves day.
Blessed thought Of home life, sweeter than ever
thought beside could be-
Home where two shall build their heaven, low

Would the home life be kept empty, naught be
