When person has consumption, the
greatest care should be taken not to COM
municate it to others. Too much emphasis
cannot be laid on the importance of taking
care OF the sputum coming from those who
have consumption. Sputum, when dried,
becomes, In time, almost like dust, and the
germ of the disease can be communicated
by the particles in the air.
Consumption is not OF itself hereditary.
Let me use an illustration. A farmer does
not grow crop Of wheat by spreading the
seed on green sward. He prepares his soil
tor the crop which he expect, to harvest.
Consumption is not hereditary, but there
are families whose members are particu-
larly prone to the disease by reason of the
fact that they inherit a mucous membrane
and glaudular texture, the condition Of
which is such that the germ of disease finds
the right kind OF soil Then consumption
follows quickly. With perfectly healthy
person the germ is thrown off. 1t does
not get a foo hold.
Consumption is certainly infectious in
the ways have indicated"

"The Best Laid Plans"

"When l was young fellow, I was
dreamer, said benevolent citizen.
II thought that my greatest pleasure
would be to give money to the poor and
live life of simple, unworldly devo-
ton and gentleness. That was when I
was about 90.
cat % I came into some money rath-
er unexpectedly The first thing / did
was to give dinner. got tipsy-the
first time in my life l had a fight with
waiter and nearly punched his eye
out. Twas arrested and had to be bailed
out by my lawyer. The waiter sued me
for damages, and was SO angry with
him and myself and the downfall of my
great ideals that refused to compro-
mise as my lawyer advised. The waiter
lost most of his savings in fees and ex-
penses, and his family came wailing to
ask me to pay his doctors bills and help
him get position and they would drop
the suit.
81 came to my senses and did more
than that for them. My old ideas, modi-
fed and modernized, took hold of me
again, and while am a hard headed
business man today most of my friends
are poor people. But my first use of
money shows how fiimsy the pedestals
of most ideals are and how foolish it is
to say what we would do if we could. !"

He Told the Lawyer.

Lawyer S. is we'll known for his I'M
comely habits. He cuts his hair about
four times a year and the rest of the
time looks decidedly ragged about the
ears. He was making witness describe
a barn which figured in his last case.
"How long had the barn been built 2"
"Oh. don't know About year
mebby. About nine months p'r'aps -
But just how longf Tell the jury
how long it had been built.
"Well, don't know exactly. Quite
a while.
Now, Mr.. B., you pass for an intel
ligent farmer, and yet you can't tell me
how old this barn is, and you have lived
on the next farm for ten years. Can
you tell me how old your own barn is
Come now, tell us how old your own
house is, if you think you know"
Quick as lightning the old farmer re-
piled:
"You want to know how old my house
is, do ye2 Well. it's just about as old
as you be and needs the roof seeing to
about as bad.
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down, and Lawyer 8. didn {
call him back.--London Globe.

SENIOR RECEPTION AT V. A.
The Leading Social Event of the
Winter a Great Success.

No social event Of the Vermont Acad-
envy is anticipated With greater pleasure
than the senior reception given by the
graduating class to the public and the
school. The reception this year proved no
exception, and the many guest, present
passed most enjoyable evening.
The large auditorium OF Fuller Hall wa,
lastly arranged as a spacious drawing
room. The work of many hands made of
the chapel an attractive and pleasant room
in which to welcome the guests. Divans,
evergreens, cozy corners, sofa pillows and
tete-a-tetes entirely transformed the chapel.
Weeden's orchestra of six pieces, screened
from the audience by banks of evergreen,
furnished delightful music. Ices and
waters were served during the evening.
The guests we're received by Seth Ar
mold, the president of the senior class, and
Miss Anna Wood, vice president, assisted
by DR.. and Mrs. Ellery and Miss Smiley.
Among those present from out of town
we're the following: A. G. Parker, '93,
Pownal, Vt. Harry Walker, Brattleboro !;
Mrs. N. G.. Brooks, Charlestown, N. H. !;
Lyman Brooks, 90, Charlestown, N. H. /;
N. G. Williams, DR.. Kirkland, Col. and
Mrs. E. G. O.good, Rev c. R. B. Dodge
and Miss Dodge, Bellows Falls; james
MAYNARD, Jr., Westminster.
The success of the evening was due to
the effort of the committees appointed by
the seniors to take charge of the decora-
tons and arrangements.

Everything was moving smoothly and to

covered that there is hitch in the fran

FACTS AEOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well If We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neees-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance Of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really simple natter if we take cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food TIE blood is employed to
carry nourishmert to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such a record of cures as Hoods
Sarsaparilla and ii is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
