The Philosophy of Japs,

Speaking of "iags," did you ever hea,
how different whiskeys will affect your
dreams? One who is not topper tells
the following in the Cincinnati En-
guirer.
A $40 brand, which is the best in the
market, makes you dream of winning
at faro, striking it rich at policy, OF
holding a hand at poker which one
would be fool not to stand pat on and
bet ali he had
An 50 brand creates the idea that you
made fortune easily and lost it, and
you are regretting it; had a good time,
however, when you did have money.
A ST one does not make you dream
of wealth or of winning at cards, bu.
gives the impression that a good posi-.
ton is waiting for your acceptance; but
your friends are loath to part with you,
and you stay to have good time.

can't get off to hit him. Faster and

you finally fall off helpless, yelling
"Polcer The policeman comes and
arrests you. You are heavily fined in
court. You are obliged to sit for hours
among ugly looking vags. No one
comes to help you at all and you are
mad.
A So makeup throws you into spasms
as soon as the eyelids close. You mur-

can't run at all. A policeman and a

and when you try to get up large,

How Twilight Silence Sounds When il
Breaks.
1t was evening, says the Detroit Frea
Press. Softly came the summer
ZEPHYR from the shadows creeping in
the valleys, cooling as the breath from
scented fans, yet with no touch of chill
The lowing herds, now silent on the
lea, lay resting in the fragrant fields Of
gently waving grass, where daisies
nodded kisses to the red Tipped clover.
The dusky air, low lying on the shaded
hills, rose purpling to the sky above
their tops, and here and there, far of
in the Silly distance, twinkled one or
two lone stars, the first to come, and
they stood there blushing near the dark
blue curtains draped above the thresh-
old of the night, uncertain yet if they
should enter now or wait until the gay
and glittering throng in which they
moved had come to bear them company.
The song of birds was stilled in every
bush and tree. and every warbling
throat was tucked away beneath tired
| wing. The hum of insects resonant all
day, had hushed itself amid the quiet
leaves and every futtering tinsel wing
was resting till the morn. The lazy
stream had seemed to stop, and now
no longer babbled to the flowers which
grew upon its pretty banks. Above,
below, beyond, the soft delicious still
ness of the bedtime of day pervaded
the air and touched the earth and
fioated to the sky. They sat there in
the cleaning, he and she, and watched
the silent shadows creep slowly out
from those dim hiding spots in which
no man can find them in the day.
Suddenly they heard heavy crash, as
if some one had struck heavy timber
with an axe and shiyered it.
What's that man breaking ?" he
inquired, with start.
"The stiffness of the twilight honr,"
she murmured softly, and the man
passed them on his way to the wood.

HORSE GOSSIP.

The proprietor OF Red Lion Inn at
West Randolph has a six-years-old
Wilkes mare that is decidedly sleek
in makeup and very promising as to
speed. He bought her Of Hanover
On. H.. farmer some time ago at
very low figure and considers her
a prize, having been already offered
double what he paid for her.
The Spirit of the Hub has this to
say about horse which startled the
sporting fraternity at the recent
meeting at White River Junction:
Mack, 2.2O1a, by Thought, is trot-
ting quite well, considering. He is a
Morgan; has shown public trial in
2.171a, last half in 1.05A. 1t is pre-
dicted by good judges that he will
trot his mile in 2.10 before the sea-
son ends if put into expert hands.
He has never had the advantage of
choice handling and conditioning"

A CINDER ROAD.

The street committee of our board
of trustees have made radical
change in the preservation of East
ern avenue and their experiment will
be watched with much interest.
Hitherto gravel has been carted on
to the street, and in every hard
shower it was washed down the hill.
The new method is the creat tion OF a
cinder road. After our last storm a
layer of clay was placed on the
avenue and over this coal cinders
were spread. 1t is believed that the
clay and the cinders will form sort
ofcement that will make permanent
road bed. If the experiment is
success another layer will be put on
in the fall to crown" the highway
so that the surface water will be
drained into the cutters. 1t is a
well-known fact that cinder tracks
make the best possible race courses
for bicycle and foot races and it is to
be hoped that this method of treat
ing Eastern avenue will prove a
success.

MISSED CONNECTIONS.

About so delegates to the Chris
tian Endeavor convention at Mon
treal missed connections here Mon
day afternoon and were obliged to
stay here until the midnight train.
They left Montreal in a special train
made up by the Canadian Pacific
railway and were assured by those
officials that they would make con-
nections all right and reach their
homes in Massachusetts, Monday
night. When they arrived here they
were disheartened to find that the
Boston train had left about an hour
before their special arrived. The
party looked around town in the al
ternoon and in the evening attended
the regular meeting of the South
church Christian Endeavor society,
adding much to the interest of the
meeting by their reports of the
national convention.

PRECA UTIONARY MEASURES.

The verdict of the health officer
and the state board of health, that
the typhoid fever here was caused by
our village water system, was not
unexpected, as good many people
have claimed in the past that Pas
sumpsic river water was unfit for
drinking purposes. But unfortun-
ately a good many st. Johnsbury
people are obliged tc drink that
water and their safest course
through the summer is undoubtedly
to boil it as the doctors advised.
This advice is certainly worth
needing, as it is best IN such condi-
ton of affairs to use the utmost
precaution.
That there have been many cases
of typhoid fever here the past year is
not to be denied. But other parts
of the state have been similarly af-
fected, though not perhaps to so
great an extent as to fatal cases.
There is certainly no call for "scare
head" methods in dealing with this
question. The town is in a fairly
healthful condition at present, and
the local board of health, we believe,
can be depended upon to meet any
emergency with prudence and take
such measures as will ensure public
safety. Certainly the emphatic de-
clarations of the state board Of
health do not blend with the report
of the government expert who an
alyzed the water some time ago.
The local authorities are competent
to reach a final and safe conclusion
as to the fitness or the unfitness of
the water. This they are bound to
do as speedily as possible.
Meantime, let every one keep cool,
exercise discretion, boil the water
and await developments. Such a
course will help wonderfully in solv-
ing a problem which is just now
perplexing our people.

IMPORTING SPRING WATER.

Some Of our enterprising citizens
have leased the Wright spring on the
North Danville road and will deliver
water in any quantity to all desir-
ing the purest spring water in this
vicinity. This spring has been noted
for many years for its GOODNESS and
purity, and it is one Of the pleasures
of a carriage ride towards North
Danville to drink from this elegant
spring. The "All Wright" Spring
Water Company is the name of the
new concern and they have started
in at favorable time. They began
Monday morning to supply every
drug store in town with this spring
water, so one need not be nervous
about getting impure water at the
soda fountains.

EQUALIZING WATER SHAR RES.

"The water power of this village
never was in better shape than it is
now" said "the man at the WHEEL
at the station on Tuesday The
steam pump was on duty that day,
owing to a slight mishap to the
larger pump run by water power,
but as general thing the steam
plant is still, the water plant being
sufficient for the ordinary service.
Steam iskept up, however, at light
pressure, so that, in case of an emer-
gency, the power could be increased
within few minutes.
Arrangements have recently been
completed by which the water pow
er at Paddock Village will be used
with more equality by those who
are entitled to it. The fumes have
been reconstructed and placed on
the same level, ten inches of water
being made to represent a share.
On this basis the village, holding
eight shares, uses 80 inches of the
water, but in case of fire at a time
when the water in the river is low,
the other shareholders will shut
down promptly, giving the pumping
station all the water there is. Before
the Encouragement of the fumes
there was no equality about the
amount of water falling to each
shareholder, and the present plan is
expected to prove satisfactory all
around.

DEATH OF v. N. SPAULDING.

Van Ness Spaulding died at his
home on Portland street Friday,
aged SO years. Mr.. Spaulding had
been suffering from tumor of the
brain which had rendered him total
ly blind. Last week Wednesday he
received a paralytic shock which
hastened his death. He began in
the hotel business in Roxbury and
afterwards ran a hotel at Barton,
White River Junction, Newport and
then again at Barton. He was we'll
known throughout the state and
was man of genial temperament.
He leaves widow, an aged father,
Major Allen Spaulding, two sisters,
Mrs. ]. M. Powers and Mrs. F. L.
Rice, and brother, Frank Spauld-
ing. The funeral was attended on
Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. F. Mar
vim of Derby Line officiating, and
the remains were taken to North
field on Monday and placed at rest
by the side of his two daughters.

CONCERNING MICROBES.

Drs. O. w. Sherwin of Woodstock
and J. H. Hamilton of Richford, re-
presenting the state board of health,
were here Friday to investigate the
causes Of typhoid fever in St. Johns
bury. In the afternoon a public
meeting was held in the Board of
Trade rooms which was attended by
about a score of our citizens. DR..
Bullard presided at the meeting and
first introduced DR.. Hamilton.
DR.. Hamilton believed that the
fever could be traced in almost every
case to the drinking of water from
our village system. He did not
think the Passumpsic river was pure,
as he had recently inspected the
banks of the river from Paddock vii
lage northward and found that i'm
purities were being drained into the
river in many places. He said that
filtering the water would not kill the
germs, nor would freezing. The
drinking of ice water should be
avoided and the only way to be
perfectly safe was to boil the water.
He urged the people of ST. Johns
bury to boil the water, as that was
the only way to kill the germs.
DR.. Sherwin also believed that
impure drinking water had caused
our epidemic. He thought the fever
germs would remain here until our
water supply was purified. He
thought the village ought to change
its source of water supply. With
the sewage OF town of 5000 or
more people coming in above us,
with other small towns and many
families emptying all their waste in
to the stream just above us, and
with all the surface drainage coming
into the stream, there would always
be danger of having typhoid fever
germs in our drinking water.
Typhoid fever is almost invariably
contracted by drinking in or eating
the water or food 1t would not do
to purify the water and then cool it
with ice that was taken from an
impure source, except by the ice
around, not in, the dish which con-
tanned it. The source needs to be
changed. This sterilization of water
will do as a remedy for the present
trouble, but not for permanency
Well water is by no means the
surety of purity" it was once be
lieved to be. Unless curbed so as to
prevent surface drainage it is
dangerous, and though pure now, il
may become the cause of disease and
death in a few days, unknown to
anybody.
After DR.. Sherwin's remarks sew
eral of our citizens addressed the
meeting and also interrogated the
state board of health.
DR.. Bullard spoke briefly of what
he had done as health officer and the
progress of sanitary inspection in
the village.
The meeting was a profitable one
and threw much light upon the
cause of the typhoid fever.

WOMANS CLUB SOCIAL.

The monthly meeting of the
Womans Club on Monday evening
was a sociable held in Grand Army
hall. The affair was in charge of the
social committee and the entertain

Thirty-hve young ladies participated
in the entertainment and represent
ed different books. There was much
originality displayed in the different
representations, some of which were
not easily guessed. Music was
introduced in several instances, but
most effectually when "The Mute
Singer" was portrayed by Miss
Marion D. Patterson. IA Quar-
