Boys and Cigarettes.

The number Of small boys who puff the
delusive cigarette seems to be on the
increase. Almost any hour of the day or
evening these boys may be seen on the
streets smoking and splitting with an air Of
much Importance. Besides being mimi
cal to the boys health, the prevelancy Of
the habit greatly increases the danger of
fire. Only last Wednesday boy threw
lighted cigarette onto the roof of the shed
owned by c. L. Barber and occupied by
w. E. Rowell, and but for timely warning
would probably have caused an extensive
blaze as the shed is near S. w. Stuart's
lumber yard. As it was, a hole about
two feet square was burned into the roof.
The question arises, where do these boys
get their cigarettes? The statute on the
subject says: "a person who sells cigar,
cigarette, snuff or tobacco in any form to a
person under 16 years of age, shall be fined
not more than 800" If this law were en-
forced there might be considerable fning
right in Bellows Falls.

Electric Road Echoes.

The Springfield electric railroad COM
pany has as good as bought Cheshire
bridge, although it has not yet taken pos
session, says contemporary. The price
to be paid is $40 per share, the par value
of which is 500. As the company is cap
italized at $4,000, this makes the pur-
chase price $8,400. The railroad COM
pany will thus become possessor of nothing
more than the bridge structure, all lumber,
money on hand and other assets remaining
with the bridge company. The sale is not
yet completed, and hinges on the actual
building of the railroad. The stockholders
have bound themselves to sell, if the road
is built; and the railroad company binds
itself to buy, on the same condition. The
matter has been brought to this point
chiefly through the efforts of Adna Brown.
A time limit for the completion of the road
is also named.
While the railroad company has secured
right of way on the Vermont side, they are
said to be yet without a charter for work
in New Hampshire. The Boston & Maine
has an old charter which has been offered
them, but they prefer to get one of theil
own, if possible.
1t is said that provided the Cheshire
bridge is used it will be raised four feet al
the east end and two at the west end and
1t can be SO arranged that public trave
will be intercepted for single day only.
1t is estimated that the Cheshire bridge
can be replaced by an iron one in 80 days

A Woman's Way to Social Success.
TFrom the Boston Pilot.

The woman who would have lasting So
cial success must have the full confidence
of the circle in which she moves. To this
end she must be thoroughly sincere and re-
liable. know that many of my readers
will, at first sight, question this judgment.
l know that many young women, and older
ones with scant social experience, have in
their hearts strong, and not always a
silent, conviction that the tact and social
sense of which they hear SO much in con-
nection with successful women, are only
polite synonyms for steady going disingeni-
BUSINESS and insincerity. There are women,
strong in ambition and weak in conscience,
who are so persuaded of this that they set
out for conquest with such formulate as
Never disagree with any person of conse-
quence !" ''Be nice to people who can serve
you, whatever you think Of them;' ''Such
one can safely be Sighted" "You can't
afford to know certain peoples" "Talk for
effect !" 1.-THE more you make of yourself,
the more others will make of you - Every
body is deceitful, why should you be an
exception" When such women come to
grief, as eventually they always do, they
never blame themselves, but always be-
lieve that some other woman has over
reached or undermined them. There is
undoubtedly much dissimulation, much dis
honor, much cruel teaching masked in
grace and kindness in the social world ;
but the way to outwit it all is simply to be
true. ssShe is sweet, but so insincere. >
Why may it not as well be said, ..She is
sweet and absolutely sincereP" The differ
ence is as between the exquisite articles in
the milliners' windows and the fragran,
moss-roses abloom under Gods sun and
dew. And it really involves less effort te
be that which we would pass for than only
to seem it.
A woman the undertone of whose life is
sweetly serious, who never knowingly de.
ceives, misrepresents or exaggerates, who
is scrupulous about appointments and
promises, who never even inferentiall,
claims aught in the way of ancestry, means
influence, scholarship or accomplishment.
that is not susceptible of the closet demon
stration, takes the color out of all thu
pretty frauds about her, as the lovely moss
rose we have spoken OF would humble thu
cleverest limitations. But not Immediately
perhaps. The building up of an endurin.
social success is work Of time; and it

JUSTICE FIELDS LIMP.
< Rays Thrown On An Injured Knee
With Clear Results.

San Francisco. June 28-Stephen J.
Field, justice Of the supreme court of
the United States, has had an exper-
fence of three quarters of an hour I'M
der the Roentgen ray.
Justice Field is troubled with an af-
lection of the knee joint. which the doc
tors cannot exactly define. That was
one reason why the help of the mys-
ferrous X ray was invoked. An inspec-
ton Of the negative Of the cathode
graph after development showed that
the experiment had been successful in
getting q good picture of the bones of
the joint. The negatives showed that
the tibia and the femur have almost
grown together. The hinge so to
speak, is partially sOldihed. The bones
have not that clearness of outline
shown in the normal knee.
