Personal Neatness PIeases.
New York World.

There is a personal cleanliness that. with
taste in dress and grace of manner, rivals
and often Outshines beauty. TrifieS, like
glossy hair, white teeth, well-kept hands,
a smooth skin, redolent of health, sweet
breath, fresh linen and spotleSs garments,
go a long way towards making up the sum
of personal attractiveness. All clean peo-
pie are charming, but charming people are
never more charming than when they are
radiant with good grooming. 1t is some
expense. but a great deal Of trouble to be
habitually and exquisitely neat. 1t pays,
though, immensely.

house, and a much discussed question
was settled for two years.
The legislature has shown itself in
full sympathy with the smaller towns
in the matter of changing town lines,
and during the past week two "un-
der dogs in contests of this sort
have been sustained in the house by
heavy majorities. The attempt to
cut numerous lots out of the town of
lay and set them into Richford failed
and a move to annex Coventry
gore to Newport succeeded-just be-
cause the house listened to the inhab-
itants of the towns, through their re-
spective representa- tives. rather than
to outsiders who favored the one bill
and opposed the other.
The bill esta blishing a state board
Of pharmacy and dra wing safe guards
around the practice of thatimportant
profession in this state, was passed.
The bill giving the county commits
sioner salary has passed both
houses. That official is to have
500 a year, with expenses for sta
tlOnary, etc.
The legislature has cut down the
limit of the trustee process from ten
dollars to six, the bill passing both
voked considerable discussion,
strong effort being made to keep the
limit where it was under the old law.
The advocates of this bill expect
that it will have wholesome effect
from a moral standpoint.
No bill before the legislature had so
much knocking about as that pro-
viding for free text books, and the
final disposition of this ma liter in the
house was relief to all concerned.
The elimination of county uniformity
and the substitution of town selec-
ton of the books resulted in a score
or more verbal amendments even at
ter the bill returned from recon-
mitment, and rather reflected on the
foresight and carefulness Of the COM
mittee having it in charge. The SEN
timert of the house was largely in
favor of free text books from the
start, but the difference of opinion as
to who should select the books
brought on Wearisome contest and
came near defeating the entire bill.
The senate refused a third reading
to the house Dill, making the limit IN
trustee process six dollars instead of
ten. There was considerable opposi-
ton to it in the house, but not
enough to prevent its assage.
Another library bill introduced by
Senator Hazen has become law. 1t
enables towns to assist in the estab-
lishnent of free public libraries
The report of the special commit
tee on the revision of the statutes
was adopted without debate, and
the vermont statutes of 1894" are
now strictly authoritative. Thelegis-
lature showed its appreciation of the
arduous labors of the committee by
voting them six dollars day instead
of the three dollars to which they |
were entitled as common, every dav |
members of the general assembly.
