And for the want Of that rest,
are willing to surrender go to

the case Of Cyrus w. Field, who
| died In New York on the 18th OF
this month; ii Ii true, lie was d
very old man was born in 1919,
| and he was O smart man. The
New Workers are indebted to
| him for the part he took in es-
tablishing the present system
| ofeleyated railroad transit. But
we learn from his city papers
that during the past winter Mr.,
Field has experienced d world Of
troubles. His wife, whom he
had married at the age Of TWEEN
lty-two, died and she was soon
followed by his favorite
daughter. Following upon these
sad events came the failure of
his sons firm, and the committal
of his son to an insane asylum.
Ever since that time Mr. Field
has kept aloof from the gaze Of
men. Trouble. When troubles
come ailing comes and the
grave is not far oil
we may need 'em and we
may not need 'em in these parts,
but we don't think it would
hurt 70 have one among us.
There is an institution Of learn
ing IN Massachusetts: it aims
10 graduate a class of young
women who shall be what is
frequently heard of and seldom
seen, ornaments To society and
10 the home.n One Of the
features 81 instruction Is there
course Of cooking. The young
women rush from the music
room or the painting class or
the gymnasium TO the kitchen,
and there are those lessons
which have a particular rela-
tlon 10 the "home.- The in
structionis arranged to cover a
course Of three years. Ii is free
Of extra cost to the pupils, and
at the end 81 each year the
young women are examined, and
only after a satisfactory exhibi
tion Of progress are they allowed
70 go on. The work for the first
two yearsis demonstration. and
tits only the third year pupils
who really cook. Last spring
they--the real nistresses Of the
culinary artgave q little din
ner. They did everything from
lighting the fire 70 decorating
the table. They were excused
from washing the dishes after
dinner because they had a lee
ture 10 attend. Soon cook books
viii be the only form of litera-
ture in which the girls Of the
period will be interested, and
perhaps the time may even come
when she will write them.
IA man came in our Office
last Wednesday: he lived in
Hillsboro about Is years ago, he
lives at Stagsville now. He
looked as well as he did when
he live at the old burg: he was
a mighty pround fellow then-is
yet, but hasn't got il SO bad: ia
those days he wore gloves

meals; some Of the boys said lie
carried il over him when ne went
to supper, but we hardly beliey-
ed that. He was typo then
he is a farmer now, and a good
one, too. We often wonder
how some men can 20 through
long years without a great
change; but such men find this
