The safe, the successful legislator
will never tear down till he is sure he
can build better.
Thursday afternoon legislative
session of all representatives was held
at the armory. Speaker w. W..
Stickney presided, saying: "We have
these assemblies together too seldom.
| am persuaded that the sessions Of
the Vermont Legislature are worth to
the state all they cost, as an education
in government, even if there were not
law passed. The influence that goes
out from our coming here is felt and
is beneficial all through the state. It
is the average man that makes good
legislator, and that is what Vermont
sends up here. l say that which dis
tinguishes Vermonter is good sound
sense, the ability and the disposition
to do the present duty. | say that
the future will be as bright as the
past" MI. Stickney then called upon
Gen. Stephen Thomas, a. member of
1888 and 1889, who was given a
rousing welcome. He referred to his
early connection with the legislature
and to the reforms in legislation
which he had seen since he repre-
sented West Fairlee. He referred to
pensioning soldiers and said he would
be glad to see the legislature of Yer
mont do more for her men who
served during the war and exempt
the homesteads of old soldiers from
taxation.

aLiquid Bait" Men Indicted.

John w. Titcomb OF st. Johnsbury,
formerly of Rutland, and Charles C,
Warren OF Waterbury have been in.
dicted under the prohibitory law by
the Washington county grand jury,
and last week appeared in court and
furnished bail.
The indictment grows out Of the
visit OF the Legislative committee to the
state fish hatchery at Roxbury, Octo-
Der "a, 1894. Titcomb and Warren
were state fish commissioners. The
visitors had liquor to drink and the
affair made d tremendous uproar.
Both men resigned Office at the time.
Mr.. Titcomb said that his resignation
had nothing to do with the liquor az
fair, however, and the governor has
not yet accepted it.
States Attorney Stanton OF Rox-
bury appears as the prosecuting officer
and there is all sorts OF gossip about
the matter. The Indictment is for il
legally furnishing liquor, and Stanton
said that he had evidence tending to
show four offenses in each case. Bail
was fixed at $500 in each case and was
furnished by j. w. Brock Of Montpe-
lier.
The trial will naturally come at this
term of court. The defense will be
in substance that somebody else fur
nished the liquor.

How many thousands to-day suffer
from sleeplessness caused by nervous
weakness. 1t is one of the incidents
OF American life, and you who read
these lines are no doubt one OF the
great throng. After the day is done
and when its cares ought to cease, you
wish that they might fold their tents
like the Arabs and as silently steal
away. When night has drawn her
sable curtains and all nature seems in
repose, your weary eyelids long for
that tired natures sweet restorer,
balmy sleep. What would you not
give for the rest you had in the olden
times. But it is denied you. The
long hours are full OF weakness and
WEAKNESS, and the coming day brings
only headache and heartachc, inn

There is no burden so painful, and
no loss so wasting. 1t wrecks the body
and impairs the mind. 1t is the fear
full harbinger of insanity. 1t has filled
our asylums with its victims. You
know this and gloomily dread the flu

you, and you are always worrying
over anticipated trouble. Nothing
goes right, and you often feel like de-

the burden you once bore so easily.

PRESERVATION Of Youth In the Face

tics OF GuestA-Houneholl Hints,

One consequence Of the full exercise
OF oil the facial muscles, and Of the
tropic results Of varying emotions, is
q remarkable interference with the
time records which are usually SO
visible on the human face. In fact,
most actors maintain a somewhat
boyish aspect until late In life, al
though the suggestion of callow Inn
maturity is at times startling contra
dicted by the expression of the eye.
In ladies who adopt the stage as a
profession, a true youthful appearance
ts, as q rule, much better maintained.
Until the physiological principles
which account for the phenomenon are
understood, it must remain a very puz-
cling fact that an actress life should
be more favorable to the preservation
Of good looks, and even Of girlish fresh
ness, than the life led by women who
occupy their natural sphere and who
cultivate las they think all physical
and moral virtues. A successful ac-
tress must work extremely hard, gen.
orally by artificial light and in gas
gbefouled atmosphere. Her hours for
work meals and sleep are all utterly
bad from the hygienic point of view;
and not infrequently she makes bad
worse by falling into those bohemian
habits which are an immemorial ira
dition Of her class. Her secret, apart
from the laws regulating the express
sion and nutrition of the face above
stated, consists chiefly of avoidance of
monotony and petty worrles-those
arch-enemies of feminine good looks
and good temper. Her work, If ar
duous is generally performed both
with earnestness and lightness of
heart; and, above all, she gets a suf-
fciency of bodily exercise Of the kind
although not under the conditions)
most conducive to health-viz, exer-
else involving quick and general move
ment of the muscles combined with a
certain amount Of mental excitement.
