THE SUMMER VACATION.
A Change Even if in Minor Things
Will BE a Great Benefit.


In the Ladies Home Journal Ed

vice upon Gong Away In Summer"
He points to the mistake that instead

and girls. physically tired and in need
of recuperation, make Of their vaca'
tons round Of continuous gayety,
every moment crowded with some ex-
citement or pleasure. III consequence.
the woman who goes away for rest
comes back tired and worn out. Mr..
Box very truly says: eve all speak OF
going away when we start on va.
cation. But most Of us do not go
away Going away means cutting
ourselves entirely free from every.
thing that has entered into our lives
during the year-away from things
which have occupied us, away from
disturbing troubles, away from de.
pressing surroundings, away from
ones daily self to seek for ones best
self, away from familiar places and
people. Such a change means a changa
IN ourselves, in our thoughts. in our
ideas, In our motives, in our outlook on
everything. The idea that we must
ever keep ourselves busy, even in va
cation, so that the mind may not be-
come rusted, is all nonsense"
For those who cannot 60 away Mr..
Box advises a change in their mode OF
living, or in their daily work. eve

To Set up a State of Their Own.

Folks who live in the northern penin-
sular Of Michigan are OF the opinion that
it is expedient for them to detach their
territory from the rest OF the state and
set up Tor themselves as the new state
of Superior, They propose to borrow
the northern counties Of Wisconsin above
a line running west from Green Bay to
the Mississippi river, including all Wis
consin's water front on Lake Superior,
and the city of Superior, near Duluth.
Thus supplemented with land and people,
they would havea population of 500 900,
and great wealth o land lumber, mines,
bears, trout streams, islands, scenery
and natural geographical boundaries.
Isle Royale in Lake Superior woul be in
the new state; also he Apostle islands
The state would include the pictured
rocks Of Lake Superior, the Calumet
& Hecla mines and other mines of i'm
mense value, the cities OF Sault Ste.
Marie, Marquette, Ashland, and Super.
ior and a tolerably complete outfit of
railroads. The pr ninsula people give as
the reason of their desire to flock by
themselves that it is exceedingly incon-
venient for them, especially in winter, to
go round Lake Michigan into the lower
part of the state and to do their share OF
governing. The geography of their
aspirations at least is interesting. and it
will pay any eastern person who has
been years out OF school and is not in the
ILL.
and study 1t out. Whether there is ge-
ography enough involved to warrant the
addition of two more members to the
United States senateis, OF course, another
question: Harpers Weekly.

world with but three one.c cent postage
stamps as his entire capital. According
to the tramp's story a $4,000 bet was
made at the Manhattan club that he
could not do 1t and return with the
amount of the bet earned as he Travelled.
So far Mr.. Phelps claims to have been all
over the world and earned over $4,000
and says he has but to 90 through South

He has until July 3, 1898, to complete

Tried to Abduct His Ward.

w. ID. Sturtevant OF Hartland guardian
of Mrs. Fidelia Skinner, an aged woman
with considerable property, undertook
last week Thursday to abduct his ward
from Heaton hospital in Montpelier,
where she is being treated. Sturtevant
wished to have her taken to Hartand,
but the other heirs objected. Sturtevant
drove to the hospital with closed car
riage and induced the hospital matron
to permit Mrs. Skinner to be removed,
against the latters wishes. Sturte-
want was just leaving Montpelier juno
ton when he was overhauled by Sheriff
Collins with writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Tyler on request Of
Edward Baker OF Montpelier, Mrs. Skin
ner's nephew. Mrs. Skinner was taken
back to the hospital and Sturtevant was
detained to await hearing.

Their combined age was 1892, or on an
