A subscriber writes:-"An article in
the Farm and Fireside, headed "The
Best Advice" seems to contain too
much good advice to be lost and not
repeated. 1t adapts itself to all COM
munities and if made practical what
a heaven on earth this might be in
the short space of time allotted to
man on earth, and better fit us for
the great beyond, where our accounts
are weighed, and are liable to be
found wanting. How much better
we would be if we even tried to live
up to the Golden Rule.
l am more and more convinced, the
longer live, that the very best ad-
vice that was ever given from friend
to friend is contained in these four
words, "Mind your own business"
The following of it would save many
a heartache. It's observance would
insure against every sort of wrang-
ling. When we mind our own bust
ness we are sure of success in what we
undertake, and may count upon a
glorious immunity of failure. When
the husbandman harvests a crop by
hanging over the fence and watching
his neighbor hoe weeds, it will be
time for you and me to achieve re-
nown in any undertaking in which
we do not exclusively need to mind
our own business. If l had family
of young folks to give advice to, my
early, late and constant admonition
would be always and everywhere, to
"mind your own business" Thus
should they WOO harmony and peace
and live to enjoy something like COM
pleteness of life.'"

We have received copy of hand
somely gotten up booklet descriptive
of Mr.. B. F. Keith's new theatre,
Boston. 1t is generously illustrated
with fine half-tone engravings, giving
glimpses of this beautiful playhouse,
which is claimed to be the handsom-
est, most solidly constructed, most
deliberately decorated and most
sumptuously appointed amusement
establishment in the world. The
character of the entertainment fur
nished at Keith's is high-class vaude-
vile, pure, clean and wholesome, such
as the best society people patronize,
and, being located in the midst of the
shopping district, ladies find it a
convenient place to drop in and rest
themselves. The performance is con-
tinuous from 10 a. m. until 10:30sp.
M, so that it does not matter at
what hour one drops in to the thea
tire, he will be sure to find something
going on that will interest and
amuse. The booklet also contains
excellent pictures of Mr.. Keith, his
son. A. Paul Keith, and Mr.. Edward
F. Albee, the general manager of all
the Keith amusement enterprises,
and brief biographical sketches of the
gentlemen. Mr.. Keith also has thea
tres in New York, Philadelphia and
Providence, the entrances to which
are pictured in the souvenir. If any
person has been so unfortunate as
not to have seen this theatre, which
is regarded as one of the show places
of Boston, they should write to the
management for copy of the book
let, which will be mailed free.

My DEAR Mr. MEssER:-Yours of the fourth
inst. stating the desire of your committee to
know my views upon the subject matter of
state expenses, has been considered and for
answer will say:-l regret it the duty of every
citizen of Vermont to lend his influence and
cast his vote to secure the minimum of ex:
penditure in state disbursements. Every
state expense should be kept upon The eco
nomical basis consistent with the welfare of the
public service. Economy, Away virtue, be-
comes in the exigences of the time anecessity,
and should be practiced in public as well as
in private affairs. Our public outgoes should
be measured by our income which, upon a
just and equal basis, should be regulated ac-
cording to the tax-payDg ability of the
people and needs of the state. Subject to the
lowest price known for years for everything
he produces, the farmer may well urge the
most frugal practices in administering the
affairs of the state; and being farmer | sin.
cerely sympathize with him and hope he will
in common with all the pepole of the state
contend for simplicity and economy which
will more surely than anything else lead US tc
prosperity and happiness. | am in accord
with the purpose OF the resolutions TO which
you refer. Thanking you for the honor o
T.! your inquiry, am,

MR.. MESSER TO MR.. CIRCUIT AND MR..
STICKNEY.
ROCHESTER, VT, May 4, 1896.
SIR AT the annual meeting of the State
Grange in December last, resolutions were
presented and unanimously adopted relating
to retrenchment in ublicexpenditures in this
state and reduction of official salaries In
view of your position before the people as
candidate for governor of the state, | am in
structed by the executive committee of the
State Grange to call your attention to these
resolutions Ia copy of which | enclose) and
ask an expression of your views on the uues-
ton involved. In this connection | desire to
say that this action on the part of the mem.
bers of the Grange, is prompted by none
other than sense of duty which the farmers
think they owe to themselves as citizens and
taxpayers of the state.
In thus calling your attention to these mat.
tiers it would be superfuous for me to enter
into any discussions of the causes which have
produced the deplorable conditions that now
confront the farming population of the state
and nation. Suffice it to say that it is uni.
versally conceded that the prosperity OF
state and nation is largely dependent upon
the prosperity of the farming population,
and we look to those in authority to guard
well the interests of this great producing
class, to exercise prudence and economy in
state expenditures, and so shape legislation
that taxation, so far as may be, will more
closely conform to the present greatly re.
duced taxpaying capacity of our farming
population. Trusting that l may hear from
you at your earliest convenience, remain,
Respectfully yours,

Alpha Messer, Esq, Sec'y, etc.
My DEAR SIR On my return home to-day
find your esteemed favor of the ninth inst,
and in reply would say that believe in max
ing all state expenditures as small as is con-
sistent with an efficient administration of the
state government; and while the state can
not afford to pursue parsimonious course
either with its institutions or oficeres, at the
same time the strictest economy should I've
limited to a fair compensation for serviess
actually rendered The times are hard and
taxes should be reduced as much as they cab
be and pay as we go. | remain,
Your obedient servant.

A considerable advance in the price
of sugar is looked for before autumn,
it being evident that the visable sup
ply is far short of the consumption.
This shortage will undoubtedly bene-
fit the cane sugar growers of Louisi-
ana and the beet sugar growers of
the western states, but it means in
creased cost of living for ever family
in the country. The shortage all
comes from the destruction of the
crops in Cuba, and is a far more
serious matter than the shortage in
the leaf tobacco supply.
