The way women trifle with health
shows degree of indifference that is
misunderstanding. Happiness andus
fulness depend on physical health; so
does good disposition. Disease makes
women nervous, irritable and snap
pish. The very effort of ailing women
to be good-natured makes them ner-
vous. Write to Mrs. Pinkham, she will
help you to health and happiness.

Young Men and the Churches.

Some time since the pastor OF the Con-
gregational church sent letter. to large
number of young men in town asking why
in their opinion SO many young men re
manned away from church services. H
received good number of replies giving
all sorts of opinions and reasons. At the
service Sunday evening the pastor used
there replies a: the basis of a most inter-
esting and suggestive address. He grouped
the replies as giving four principal reasons
why young men do not attend church SER
vices oftener: Indifference on the part OF
young men inconsistency on the part Of
church members the idea that church at
tendance is womanish; Sunday work.
The speaker said that no doubt the idea
that church attendance is womanish arise.
from the fact that women are SO prominent
in all branches of church work But where
are men in preponderance largely? On
the street corners, in the saloons and the
penitentiaries. If church attendance is
womanish, is att enhance at these other re-
sorts manly?
The speaker said he had been informed
that on an average 100 men are kept at
work in the mills of Bellows Falls on Sum-
days when the mills are not running Add
to these the railroad mep who work Sun
days and the number is swelled to $50 or
more. These are white slaves with not as
much freedom as was accorded the negro
in ante-bellum days. A man with his wife
and children recently attended service in
the Congregational church. The man said
it was his only Sunday off in year. 1t is
time Christian men make stand against
the entertainments of big corporations on
the Sunday rights of employees.
But after all there never were 50 many
young men identified with the churches a.
at present. The speaker earnestly urged
young men who had no particular church
preferences to identity themselves with
some one church, hire sitting and attend its
services. Those having no preference for
one church over another were advised to
attend the church to which their mother.
belonged and in which they received early
instruction.
The music "a the service was especially
good The solo, Ave Maria, with violin
obhgato by Miss Alice jackson and II.
Carroll was excellently rendered, and the
choir selection with solo parts by Mrs. E
j. O'Brien and Miss Gertrude Weston
were much enjoyed by all.

u Concerns the rights of the public, this
action OF the Grand Trunk management is
VASTLY unpopular with those who have for

as a shield, it was against the public inter

tne new forces in control place all men on
an equality the better. Nor should such
action awaken the hostility of the legisa-
ture' Rather should it be welcomed as
such an exhibition of fair play and honest
dealing between man and man as ought
long ago to have been insisted upon. The

exclusive of the chairman, whose salary
shall be more than 81, 800. 1t is thought
that by increasing the board to 10 mem
portions and the members would be able
to give their services gratis. which they
could not afford to do under the old syS-
tenn. This is Mr.. Keenan's plan of cam
piagn. and so it is more than likely that
the League of American Wheelmen will
return to its old system and let the pro-
fessiOnalS look out for themselves. This
is only one of the new ideas of the new
administration. 1t is said that instead Of
haVing an auditing committee of three q
national auditor will be appointed and
given power. under direction of the exc
cutiVe committee, to curtail expenditures
wherever deemed necessary, instead of
waiting until the end of the year, when
the money is spent.
Another thing Mr.. Keenan, does not like.
and which the new administration will
seek to change is the vast sums of money
spent by the road improvement commit
tee for printing. hotel bills and railroad
fares, which is considered to be money
poorly spent. Advisers of Mr.. keenan,
have pointed out to him that it would be
better policy, instead of issuing such a
vast amount of literature, to devote the
money thus spent in substituting a num-
