Don't Worry.

1t is trite advice to tell women to
take every day as it comes, to avoid
remorse over what is done, and fore
holdings over what is to come, but it
is no less valuable advice. Nervous
prostration is seldom the result of pres
ent trouble or work, but of work and
trouble anticipated. Mental exhaus-
ton comes to those who look ahead,
and climb mountains before they arrive
at them Resolutely build wall about
to-day, and live within the enclosure;
the past may have been hard, sad, or
wrong-it is over. The future may be
like the past, but the woman who wor-
ries about it may not live to meet it
if she does she should concern herself
with to-day, its sunshine, its air, it's
friends, it's frolics, its wholesome work
and, perhaps, it's necessary sorrow.

President Of The Vermont State

Worthwhile. W. March < 1se,

Morrisville, VT, March 5, 1897.
"Six years ago l took a De Laval

Cabinet creamer. AT the end of two
weeks l became satisfied that [ could

bors and throw away my nearly new

Baby separator. 1t has run from two
to three hours every day since then
with but very little repair'. 1t il driven
by small tread power, is situated near

carrying the milk to it. and the warm

Paper Undertaking.

The japanese are now making I'M
derclothing of their finely crisped or
grained paper. After the paper has
been cut to pattern, the different
parts are sewed together and hemmed,
and the places where the buttonholes
are to be formed are strengthened with
calico or linen. The stuff is very
strong, and at the same time very fiex-
ible. After a garment has been worn
a few hours, it will interfere with the
Transportation of the body no more than
do garments made of fabric. The stuff
is not sized, nor is it impermeable. At
ter becoming wet, the paper is difficult
to tear. When an endeavor is made TO
tear it by hand, it presents almost as
much resistance as the thin skin used
for making gloves.

DIR. Thomas Wilson of the Smithson-
ian Institution, one of the most emil
nent archaeologists in the world. says
that wherever the Indians may have
come from, whether from Europe or
from Asia, they could not have arriv-
ed in America at later period than
1000 B. c. There may have been one
pair or one hundred pairs of them to
begin with; certainly there could not
have been one hundred thousand or one
million. There were about eleven mil
lion Indians in North and South Am
erica whein Columbus landed, and they
had two hundred distinct languages.
This spread and differentiation of Ian
guages could not have been accomplish
ed within Q shorter period than that
given. ln- -

THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
Randolph Said 1.-TWO Counties at High
Tide and Three at Low"

Randolph Said 1.-TWO Counties at High
Tide and Three at Low"
Delaware was the first State admit
ted to the Union, and is the one to
which Randolph of Roanoke referred
contenptuously as having two coun-
ties at high tide and three at low tide.
1t is still governed by antiquated CO.
lonial machinery. The Senate of it's
Legislature consists of nine members
only. Delaware is one of the States
which has no lieutenant governor, and
therefore from out of these nine men,
bers one is chosen as presiding officer,
and the other eight are the making
body.
The State is divided into three coun-
ties-Newcastle, which includes the
city of Wilmington; Kent, which in
cludes the capital city of Dover; and
Sussex, the rustic southern county.
Newcastle has several thousand more
voters than Kent and Sussex combined,
but the basis of representation in the
Dover Senate is the same for all three
three members from each county,
and on any public question therefore,
| in the Senate, minority of the people
| can by a two-thirds majority out-vote
| the majority. The city of Wilmington
casts about one-third of the total vote
| of the State, but it has only one repre-
| sentative in the Senate.
| The House of Representatives con.
sists of twenty-one members, chosen
without reference to population, sever
from each county, and, though the Re
| publicans carried Delaware at the re
cent election, such is the peculia
method of choice that the presen
House of Representatives consists o.
twenty Democrats and one Republican
only.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
The latest sensation in this vicinity was
the marriage of a young widow a short time
ago. Her hus band died some six months
ago. She went to spend the afternoon
with a neighboring lady, while there she
met young man, stranger in the place,
and alter long courtship of perhaps two
or three hours they decided to have the
knot tied, SO they proceeded to the nearest
clergyman to have the necessary ceremony
performed but upon asking few questions
1t was found they had no marriage certif-
cate, so of course the ceremony was not
performed. They next went to the town
clerk and procured the necessary document
then visited another reverend gentleman
and had the ceremony performed. 1t has
been declared by some that it was just two
hours and forty minutes exactly after the
couple met before they were married
Well, the young groom stayed with the
bride day or two, when he remembered
he had some work to do in another towr
SO hither he went and during the evening
of the day after he went away there came
a telephone message saying he was badly
injured by fall and requested his wife to
come to him on the late train. When the
message reached the abode of the bride il
was found she had procured team and
gone to another town to see to some bust
ness she had to transact there, so of course
she did not go to see to her injured hus
band. Two days after, the injured mar
was in this vicinity trying to find the
whereabouts of bis wife. 1t was found she
was in another town, not the one she frs
visited and was very sick with pneumonia
The husband by the aid of friend sue
ceeded in procuring team and went IL
see his sick wife. Just how sick or JUS
where they now are we do not know. W.
think this must be case of love at frs
sight, and SO far as his being injured il
concerned, we cannot say, but shoult
judge his injuries were not serious as h
must have walked several miles when h,
came after the team to go to bis wife.

Women on New England Farms.

The women are true helpmeets Not
only do they do their own work, but they
are able and willing to milk the cows, and
assist with the bay-getting, and in other
ways lend hand out of doors in emergen-
cies. Some of them even exc out the tam
lily income by little ventures of their own,
such as raising hens and bees, and gather
ing and marketing spruce gum, beechnuts,
and blueberries. There is no servant-girl
problem, because there are no servants.
When sickness or some other real disability
necessitates female help in the household, a
neighbours daughter is called in. She is OF
course regarded, and in every minutest
particular, treated as member of the fam
lily; it could not be otherwise. The chill
dren are trained to bear their share Of
the family burden, so far as it can
be done without interfering with their
schooling, and the very school terms are
arranged with view to conflicting as little
as possible with farm work. When the
children grow up, many OF them 60 out
into the world to seek their fortunes Chat,
within reasonable limits, is law of nature)
but there is nothing like an exodus Of the
rising generation, no approach to deple.
ton. Plenty of ambitious, vigorous young
men stay behind to arrange themselves Ii
life as their fathers did before them, chop
ping in the woods winters, and tilling The
few acres they have been able to purchase
with their winters savings, summers. Fur
thermore, there are plenty of desirable
young women happy and proud to cas-
their lots in with the young men and dc
their share of the drudgery necessary to
establishing home. Thus new farms ART
cleared out of the woodland and the ole
farms are kept up.-Alvan F. Sanborn il
