LETTERS TO MONTPELIER PEOPLE. Mrs.
Wright, Montpelier, Vt. Madam:-You
ask why mild soap will get clothes just as
clean, Just as easily and Just as quickly as a
strong soap?
We might answer that question by asking
one: Why will water quench thirst better
than beer OF whiskey?
Water Is mild; beer and whiskey strong.
II a man simply wants to quench thirst,
water will do 1t. But II he wants to kill
tour birds with one stone-quench thirst,
get drunk, rob his family, degrade himself,
water toon't do 1t.
Same with soap; II you simply want to
get clothes clean, easily, quickly, cheaply,
mild soap will do 1t.
But II you want to kill four birds with
one stone-get clothes clean, rot them, use
more soap, rub yourself, mild soap ,oon't
do II.
The reason is: 1t can't. A mild soar
like Harmless Is boiled six to eight days, OF
until the lye is all absorbed-all taken up
by the oil in the tallow; that is what makes
II mild. The lye is there, but you don't get
the bad effect.
It's like adding water to bitter medicine
you get the effect of the medicine. but moi
the bad taste. Yours truly, @. IL. Post &
Co., Newburgh, N Y.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro
poet, is writing novel, which will

merit.

A distinguished Chicago physician
has just discovered a new name for
an old disease, so old shat mans
memory runneth not to the contrary"
Judging from the symptoms, We
should think it well nigh incurable.
1t is only contracted by those for
tunate % women, who live in fash
ionable hotels, and whose greatest ex-
ertion is making an elaborate toilet
for dinner.
According to Emerson, every thing
in life has its compensations. He says
truly, for every thing you have miss.
ed, you have gained something else.
So in the present instance, the large
majority of women in this world of
ours, the class commonly known as
bread winners, need have no fear Of
this new disease.
The germs will not develop in those
who ''eat their bread in the sweat of
their brows." The diagnosis, is too
much rich food, too little sleep and ex-
ercise and q great deal of uncon-
scious laziness." The name of this
new and fashionable ailment is, an
aemia. To live in state of lotus
like and dreamy idleness, is liable to
develop most any thing.
Speaking of this reminds me of
something a dear little butterfly of a
girl said the other day. She was soon
to be married to the dearest man in
all the world and they were to live
in a fashionable boarding house. She
said it was her idea of bliss to wear
elaborate tea gowns, and read novels
in q swell boarding house.
Poor little creature, we could not de-
eide who was the most to be pittied.
Certainly she was with her narrow
and selfish viens Of the responsible
ties which were opening before her.
Then, too we felt that some day there
would come into the other life, an I'M
err. She did not want the responsible
ity of making a home for 1.-The man
out of all the world that her heart and
her reason chose" Then she should
not have married him.
Responsibilities are not always bur
dens-oftentimes they make one realize
the joys of an unseliish life, so thinks,

They Should Carry q Years Bright
ness Into the Recipients Lives.
In the Christmas Ladies' Home
Journal Edward w. Box writes that
he "would not be surprised If the dear
old dadies of our land should rebel at
the customary presents which people
send them at Christmas time" gifts
that are severely practical, and even
a reminder of their years. 81 wish
at this Christmastide," he continues
'every young girl might bring her
mind to hunt out some aged saint, and
bring new brightness into that life
by some holiday thought or attention,
A bunch of bright flowers can bring
years sunshine into sunset life.
Let the gift be even so simple; the at
tention ever so small; but let it be
bright; let it be suggestive of cheer,
of hope, of freshness, of youth-sone
thing that will bring the sparkle to
the eye, the tinge of color to the
check. 1t will be double Christmas
for you; a fresh, new Christmas for
the old, while TO you, my girl, 1t will
mean more than you think. We al
ways gain more than we give by asso-
ciating with old people. The poorest
old lady in the land is rich in knowl-
edge for young girl. 1t always does
girl good to come in contact with an
old lady. The girl may be the most
addressed valedictory to her class,
but in the comfortable chair before
her sits one who has learned from
experience what the girl has learned
from books. AS man takes on his
hat to q woman, so l think young
girl should always bow with respect
to an old lady. Let our young girls
think over this with the approaching
holidays, and seek to throw bright
ray of sunshine into some old lady's
life. Let every girl who can, see to it
that it shall be no longer said that
young people care very little for old
people these days. There are hun
dreds of dear old ladies in our land
whose lives would be heightened by
some fresh, bright Christmas thought
from the hand and heart of young
girl. For many such it would be
new Christmas; sunrise at sunset"
