Just been in the midst of a violent
typhoon and had seen her brothers tos-
sing about on the wild waves.
A few days elapsed and the youngest
son returned home, reporting the loss of
his brother at sea, and telling how, in the
height of the storm, a lady appeared in
mid-heaven who let down rope and
lowed the ship to a safe anchorage. He
was just relating the sad news of his
brothers. death when his sister came in
the room and congratulated him on his
escape. She recounted with exactness
the events of that fearful night, and told
how she was just Fastening to her broth
ers rescue when she was awakened by
her parents cries. Years passed, and
another calamity befel the family. This
time the father was drowned at sea. The
legend tells how the devoted daughter,
on hearing the news FASTENED to the sea-
shore. She called in vain for her faith
ers return. Louder and louder became
her waits Of sorrow, till, frantic with
grief, she threw herself into the waves
and was drowned.-Dr Masters in the
the Californian.

Here are three anecdotes of children
which have the merit of actual occur
renee:
A little ree-and-a-half-yearo old girl
living in neighboring State is full of
mischief and has to be constantly looked
after. One day, disappearing for mo-
ment, she cut the feathers from her
mothers new bonnet. When asked
about it she said:
81 did not cut the feathers, mamma !;
the scissors cut them"
At another time her mother tried the
effect of telling her that God saw her,
and knew all her naughty ways. She
Immediately gave her little head toss,
and said:
do way bod: don't want to be
watched"
A little boy about the same age, living
in one of Boston's suburban towns. is
also afflicted with the Mischievous mania,
There are other little ones in the same
household, but they know if there is any
mischief done where to look for the
author. One day his mother took him
into the parlor, and showing him the re-
suit of some mischief, asked him to tel
her all about it. He said:
Mamma, did not do it,
'My dear Charlie" said his mother,
remember that God knows whether you
did or not He knows if you are telling
the truth"
With very grave face and sober vote e
Charlie asked:
docs God really know? Does He
know what am saying now?"
"Yes, my child. He knows everything
you say"
''Well, then, did it."

Pagan Temples in san Francisco.

The oldest joss House in San Fran

property of the Sam zap Company. The
goddess worshiped at this temple was a
Chinese young lady who lived hundreds
of years ago. She was born in the Prov

a merchant of the Lum Clan. In her

renowned for her prophetic insight. Her

REAL MERIT

Is the character of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and it is manifested every dav in the re-
markable cures this medicine accom-
plishes. Druggists say: When we sell a
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla to new
customer we are sure to see him back
again in few weeks for more,-proving
that the good results from trial bottle
warrant continuing its use. This posi-
tive merit Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses
by virtue of the Peculiar Combination,
Proportion and Process used in its prep
aration, and by which all the remedial
value of the ingredients used is retained.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is thus peculiar to
itself and absolutely unequalled in its
power as blood purifier, and as a tonic
for building up the weak and weary, and
giving nerve strength.

DIR. Gould, lecturer on social science
at Johns Hopkins University, says that
he is convinced that one of the funda-
mental factors in modern social diseOn-
tent is the desertion of the home by the
mothers. Unfortunately, in too many
cases, the wages of the husband are not
enough TO maintain the family, and the
mother has to give part of her time to
outside labor. But recently there has
been a decided drift of women toward
the industries, apart from these necessi-
ties. OF this Dr. Gould says: "One
may we'll wonder what this wholesale
employment of women in industry will
lead to in the course of a generation or
so. 1t is difficult to see how young girls
who never had any domestic training
aud early went to work in factories, are
going to make either acceptable house
wives or good mothers" 1t is the home
that the character is formed, and what
ever tends to destroy that initiates
against the worth of the coming genera
ton.
Charles P. Marsh, one of Vermont
old time noted lawyers, died at his home
in Woodstock last week of pneumonia,
aged II years. Mr.. Marsh was born at
Weathersfeld, was graduated from the
University of Vermont in 1889, and be-
gun the practice of law in Woodstock in
1874. From 1860 on he was regarded as
the equal of Edmunds and Phelps. He
was lawyer of the generation which
was in its power when the legal business
of Vermont reached its zenith, and a
member of the strongest Bar of the State,
and not improbably the strongest Bar
ever known in the world If an equal or
superior ever existed it was almost GER
tainly a smaller one, for the average ca
pacity of the men at the Windsor County
Bar 40 years ago or thereabouts was very
remarkable. The list included James
Barrett, Jacob Collamer, Andrew Tracy,
Julius Converse, A. X. Hutchinson, o.
P. Chandler, Peter 7. Washburn and Mr..
Marsh in Woodstock alone.

A CANAL ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS.


Through the kindness of DR.. Samuel
A. Green of the Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Society, the Journal has had permits
sion to refer to the report of the Com
missioners of the State of Massachusetts,
for the year 1926, there finding route
of canals from Boston Harbor to the Con-
necticut aud Hudson rivers, following
out almost exactly the same route taken
by the Fitchburg railroad. AS a matter
of history in rapid transit matters, it
will be of interest to Journal readers, and
it is worth describing as peculiar fore
casting of future route of travel. s--
The scheme proposed was canalfrom
Boston to Albany. The plan is elabo-
ratelY considered and mapped out. The
proposed line of the canal from Boston
to Fitchburg would coincide almost ex-
actly with the present route of the Fitch
burg railroad. The Charles river was
followed as far as Waltham, and from
there the canal continued through Lin
coin, Concord, Acton, Littleton, Groton,
Shirley to Fitchburg, using the Concord
river and smaller streams and bodies of
water as feeders.
At Fitchburg the proposed canal line
and the present railroad line would sepa-
rate. The railroad turns southwest to
Gardner and thense almost due west to
Royalston. The canal, on the other
hand, would have turned to the north to
take advantage of number of small riv-
ers and ponds, until it met what was
then known as Miller's river near Win
chendon. The canal then follows M'ller's
river and joins the railroad again at Roy
alston. After crossing the Connecticut
river the canal runs into the Deerfield
liver, and follows it to the basis of the
Hoosac Mountain.
One notable feature of the enterprise
was the proposed tunneliDg of Hoosac
Mountain, and one can well imagine
what tremendous stir this must have
made in mercantile circles in those days.
Strange enough, this proposed tunnel
was coincident with the present tunnel.
The problem of getting by this huge
barrier was cerefully considered by this
Commission. One other plan besides
tunneling was described. This was to
go over the mountain by storage r0ser-
voir and a system of locks. There were
many objections to this: First, it seemed
doubtful if sufficient water for the reser-
voir could be obtained; second, it would
take twenty-three hours for boat to GO
over; third, it would cost $4,000, 00O
The tunnel, as proposed, would be fouI
miles long, twenty feet wide and thirteen
and one-half feet high. 1t was estimated
that its cost would be $920,832. The
Commission decided unanimously in
favor of the tunnel. The remainder OF
the route to the Hudson river presented
few difficulties, as the Hoosac river could
be followed.
