 And the pleasures for which we grieve. The kind words unspoken the promises broken,
 And many coveted boon, Are slowed away there in that land some. where
 The land of Pretty Soon" There are uncut jewels of possible fame Lying about in the dust, And many noble and lofty aim Covered with mold and rust. And oh. this place. while it seems so near, Is further away than the moon: Though our purpose is fair, yet we never get there
 To the land of Pretty Soon ' The road that leads to that mystic land Is strewn with pltlful wrecks, And the ships that have sailed for its shining strand
 Bear skeletons on their decks IL is further at noon than II Is at dawn And further at night than at noon. Oh let us beware of that land down there The land of .'Pretty-Soon

or at the temples Besides the tortoise straps there are little circular pins richly jeWeled The pin passing under the hair is best in one piece, that there may be no hinge. A pair of such, of enamel and pearl initiating little dasies, look quaint at the temples holding back out or stay short enough Though the fashion prevails of doing the hair care- fully at night, it is not necessary to wear either an old fashioned or new fangled night cap. Bind tapes about the head, drawing the hair up between and the result in the morning will be a good crop of natural looking waves over the head Such tapes are likely to rub out of place in the night, and if they do so the night cap is useful.

The Chicago Tmes-Herald has been studying up the subject of lucky and unlucky months, and reaches the fol- following conclusions: May is regarded as an unlucl1y month for marriages and also has a bad record for fires and as sassinations. It has, however the cleanesL record of all the months for marine disasters. November takes the lead for these, while August has the most railroad accidents. October has the most inundations; July the most earthauakes, and June the most lynch ings and suicides More presidents are born in March than i'll any other month; indeed, 1t is said that 75.5 per cent. of illustrious men are born in win ter. although the monthly birth rate for the whole population is about the same all the year around One should avoid being born In July, as it is said to be month which presages mediocrity

Electricity has recently been em- ployed on the royal farms in Prussia for operating the ploughs, and the ex- pense has been found to be considerably less than when steam was used. There ing drums, which is mounted on a motor-wagon, also driven by electricity. In some tests made on heavy soil, which was ploughed to depth of from eight to ten inches, it was found that a speed of three feet per second for the plough could be secured, and that the cost ranged from s1150 to s15 per acre, as against over $20 where steam plough ing was done.

The present French minister of finance is the only occupant of that office since Gambetta who has had the courage to set forth in exact figures the public debt of France. He puts it at 3000O, 100000 francs, which is the heaviest debt ever incurred by any nation in the world. Nor is the pros pect of Tightening the burden thus inn posed very near. The minister coolly calculates that it may be possible, pro- vided the nations finance is wisely and economically managed, and no necessity arises for extraordinary budgets, that the present progressive scale of the sinking fund will by the middle of the coming century reduce the debt to 22,- GOO, 100000 francs, which by 1850 can be further reduced, because in that year the French railroads will revert to the nation.

Excursions of Scandinavians from Chicago to their native country last summer have resulted in a great in- crease of immigration from that coun- try. The excursionists had money, good clothing, and general air of prosperity, and the stories they told had a natural effect. Comparatively few of the newcomers will stop in the cities. The general movement will be to the West and Northwest, where their friends and relatives have settled and where they have played an impor- tant part in building up the country. There has also been large increase in Finnish immigration this year These immigrants care less for farming than do the Scandinavians and most of them will go into the mining districts.

Eureka Mines Sold.

Elk Gov. Roswell Farnham, as presi-
dent and agent of the Eureka Mining
Co., has sold the Eureka Mine in Cor
inth TO Eugene r. Darling Esq, of
New York city, owner of the Maple
wood Farm adjoining the property OF
this company. Mr.. Darling is sup
posed to be acting for wealthy parties
in New York. The mine sold for
$4,000 and the money was paid to
Gov. Farnham Saturday evening.
DR.. L. A. Smith of New York city and
Harry T. Cushman, Esq, of Benning-
ton, bought the property over month
ago and a deed of the same to these
two two gentlemen was deposited with W.
w. Goodwin at the bank, which could
be taken by either of the above men
toned gentlemen on payment of price
within 80 days of the day deed was
deposited. Neither party rendered
the money nor asked for the deed.
But DR.. Smith is interested with Mr..
Darling in the purchase of the Eureka
mine, one-half interest in the prop
erty having been decided to him.
The purchasers will begin work on
the property as soon as few matters
to be attended to are settled. 1t is in
timated that they are considering the
project of constructing an electric road
to connect Bradford and the mine
Nothing definite, though, is yet known
concerning this. 1t will depend upon
future developments.
The Union mine, located near the
Eureka mine. is not sold. The owners
supposed they had sold it to DR.. Smith
and Mr.. Cushman at the time the .Eu-
reka mine was first sold.

The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that
the best diet is a variety of wholesome
food. If the digestive apparatus is
out of order, no amount of starvation
diet will regulate it, but will tend to
aggravate rather than remedy the all
ment. If you are bilious, dyspeptic,
liver torpid, bowels constipated. yellow
with jaundice, or have sick headache,
cure yourself with Baxter's Mandrake
Bitters, and then eat reasonably of
wholesome food and enjoy it. After
YOU are cured an occasional dose of
Baxter's Mandrake Bitters will keep
you well. Price 25 cents per bottle,
also in tablets same price. All drug
gists guarantee it to cure or money
back.

A Glass Fifty Years Old.

Ex Gov. Roswell Farnham was in
Burlington Tuesday and Wednesday at
tending commencement exercises and a
reunion of his class. He graduated from
the University of Vermont fifty years
ago. In his class of fourteen there are
seven still living. 1t is remarkable
that in fifty years death has only tax
en- away half of ,the class. OF the
seven remaining members Gov. Farm
ham expected that all but two would
be in Burlington this week. The sur
viving members of the class are Rev.
Charles G. Torey, Congregational
minister in Melrose, Mass, an excel
lent scholar in college and a student
ever since. Hon. Henry Adams Burt
yer and a man. RevEdwin Wheelock.a a
Congregational minister and located
for many years in Cambridge, VT. He
stands high in the Masonic fraternity
in the state. Philetus Fillmore North,
Esq, of Chazy, N. Y. Gov. Farnham
has heard little about him since the
college days. He was genial fellow,
easy to learn, and has probably made
a successful lawyer. w. w. Robert
son of Montreal and Geo. N. Abbott
OF South Newbury were unable to at
tend this reunion. Mr.. Robertson is a
prominent Montreal lawyer with the
title of Queens counsel. Mr.. Abbott
was formerly professor of Greek and
Latin in Pennsylvania college, but
for the past ten years has lived on
farm in South Newbury. As Greek
scholar he is eXcelled by few. Gov.
Farnham has become prominent as a
lawyer and served term as governor
of his state. Thus out of half of the
class there are four lawyers, two min
listers and one professor.
