 An Airing Indoors.

Elderly people and others who may be temporarily house bound and prevented from enjoying regular daily stroll out doors can devise fair substitute as fol- lows: Bundle up as if for the usual con- stitutional, select large, sunny room, preferably ct the top of the house, open wide the windows shut off the heat and move around briskly, going to the win dow and inhaling the fresh air deeply through the nostrils. We have often called attention to the fact that house air. with it's many Impurities, over- heated condition and general lifeless- ness, is one of the principal predisposing causes to colds and catarrhal affections Where a patient or invalid is confined to bed, if the shoulders are kept we'll covered and the head lightly protected, the windows may be opened and the room flushed with fresh air without any special risk, provided the current does not strike them too directly. The danger from want of proper ventilation is decidedly greater, Deep inhalations of air at the open window, taken gently through the nose, impart an enlivening and tonic influence to the whole nervous system, which can soon be demonstrated by personal experiments - Health MaOayine

Jewish Women.

Speaking of the part Jewish women take in the worlds progress. the Now York Commercial Advertiser says: "The first woman resident in a general hos pital in New York was a Jewess, Dr. Josephine Walter. The first woman dentist of Germany was Jewess, Dr. Fanny Sternfeldt. The fifth training school for nurses established in this country was founded by Jewess, Mrs. Alma Hendricks of New York. The largest scholarship ever bestowed on an art student was given by Jewess, Mrs. J. H. Lazarus of New York. May Abrams has become the first woman fac tory inspector in London, and the latest projected movement in New York to empower trained nurses to become in- spectors of tenement districts has been started by Jewess. :"

What the Women Did.

Rev. phebe Hanaford says, "The Biblical text, And will wipe Jerusa- lem as a man wipeth dish, wiping it and turning it upside down, plainly means that in those days men were en- gagged in menial work" " She may or may not be right ill this particular in stance, but listen to an extract from the quaint description of the Egyptians given by William Waterman in "The Fardle of Facions, published over three centuries ago. "Their women in old tyne had all the trade of occupying, and brokage abrode, and reuelled at the Tauerne, and kepte lustie chiere: and the men satte at home spinnyng and woorkyng of Lace. and suche other thynges as women are wonte.

When he went to Chicago to undergo the operation, every member of his fam fly accompanied him, together with several officials of his church It would have been easy to think that Dr. Ide was taking party to Chicago to under go serious operations, but it would not have boon easy for stranger to think that Dr. Ide was to be operated upon with only chance in 50 for his life.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
A Green Mountain Boy In the War and In
 After Life.
The Green mountain boys established

The Green mountain boys established reputation for dauntless courage and undying love of country in the war of the Revolution. That reputation her people have ever maintained. Can any one recall any occasion during the war of the rebellion when company, regi. ment or battery composed of Vermont troops showed the white feather or did less than they were able to do on the field of battle2 It is safe to say no. An equally good record was made by the troops of other states, but 1t cannot be said of all the troops of all the states that there were not occasions when some of them failed to meet expecta. tion. Generally, when there was fail ure, it was attributable to failure on the part of officers rather than the rank and file.

NOW, let me tell of a Vermont hero in war
 A 17-year-old Green mountain boy left school to enlist. His first great bat tie was Gettysburg. He was tall and awkward, but as brave as 6 Maceo and he had acquitted himself so well that the captain of the company, within a few months from his enlistment, gave him tic position of first sergeant. The regiment wuy under fire for an hour at the tine Of Piekett's famous charge be- fore it was ordered in. There were pale faces and trembling limbs on every side, but our hero was as cool and collected as if in classroom and had 0 smile and a word of cheer for his comrades. To one who seemed little more frighten- cd than his fellows he said: Cheer up, Ji1nl You have the chance of your life today"
 "Yes," said Jim, and a right smart chance to lose it too J
 ''Thc tide will turn in favor of the Union from this battle. Let us all do our duty today, so that ill coming years we may remember that we had part in the turning of the tide ,
 Jim and all who heard the young patriots outburst, as it mingled with the screeching and bursting of shells and the whirring of solid shot, became interested and to a degree calned down.

A little later came the order, Fall in" The first man on his feet was the young Vermonter. who, with smile on his lips and q eheery voice, urged promptness and an unbroken front In that way he went into the battle lie fought like 0 very tiger, at the same time doing the duty of half dozen men as file closer. When the great charge was over, Pickett had been driven back, and the 300 or 400 belch- ing cannon had ceased their roar, it was found that the earth had drunk the blood of many of that Vermont compa- ny.
 Did we do as well as you expected, captain?" asked the orderly.
 Better, sergeant, better. But look at our thinned ranks We no longer have a company" {"
 That is true, captain, but the tide has turned. We now know that we have a country. :"

At THE STATE HOUSE.
Secretary Turner of the Rail-
road Commission
Calls Attention to Some Points
in the Railroad Law.
He Holds That the Board Has All the
Power Necessary for Regula-
ting the Rates.

Secretary r. W. Turner of the state
board Of railroad commissioners takes
issues with those persons who are dis
posed to- criticise the board and regard
it as an unnecessary adjunct of the
state government. He has prepared
statement in which he says:
1T appears to me that most of the
discussion that has taken place in the
newspapers relative to the rate question
in the state is indulged in by many per-
sons who either ignore the existing law
or persons who are not familiar with
it. The board of railroad commission
ers cannot act on their own motion IN
matters relating to transportation, but
that they can act if any violation of the
law of 1888, as . carrying freight, is
properly brought before them. there is
no doubt. Neither is there a doubt as
to- their power in the premises"
Continuing, Mr.. Turner goes into
lengthy discussion of the state law gov
erning the action of the board and
holds that the board, under the decis-
ion of the supreme court in the Symns
Grocer company case, is clothed with
ample power Mr.. Turner relies upon
the following statement in the opinion
of the court:
"Although not clothed with all the
functions of court, they are authoriz-
ed to determine what are just and rea-
SOnab1e rates. In a certain sense, they
are the guardians of the public for the
protection of shippers and patrons. Their
determination is binding and conclusive
that their findings and decisions are un-
just and unreasonable"
He then says:
"This, in my opinion, is all that a
maximum freight rate bill could do;
and while a law could be passed, the
provisions of which would be easier of
application, yet under the present law
power is conferred if complainants fol-
low the rules laid down by the stat
ute.
''These rules provide that the COM
| missioners can act in such cases upon
the complaint and application of the
mayor and council, or the trustee of
any township; and that the mayor and
council, or trustee of any township can
| be required to make such complaint be-
fore the board of commissioners upon
| the petition of any 25 or more legal
voters of any such city or township
Mr. Turner closes his Statement" by
| saying:
During the five months that I have
been connected with the commission,
not a solitary complaint has been made
to this board. Numerous letters and
inquiries from individuals relative to-
freight rates and discriminat tions and
many other matters to depots, sta
| ton agents, etc, have been received,
| but no valid complaint that under the
! law would give this commission juris-
diction as to examination of freight
rates has been made to this commits
