"Chininey Climate"

"Chimney climate" is the latest for
the climate that is to be found in all
large cities. Its characteristics. says a
man of learning, are mildness. absence
of rain and frequency of fog as COM
pared with surrounding rural districts.
And he gives very clever explanation
of the presence of the fog. 1t is actually
manufactured right under our eyes.
You know if you look crosswise at a
sunbeam You see in it myriad of very
small particles of dust, SO densely crowd
ed together that some scientists even
attribute to them the color Of the sky
And there is also about us an invisible
vapor and this combines with the parti-
cles to give us fog. 1t may be so 1t
sounds reasonable enough when one
takes into consideration the fact that
fogs are more frequent in large manu-
featuring cities than elsewhere. But if
it be so, what are men of science about
that they don't find an antidote for
the evil ?--Boston Transcript

The Rutland Editor, who is alleged
to have too severely and unjustifiably
criticized the recent decision of Judg e

caution when dealing with the legal

doors Of that bright young paper the

No Wonder You Can't Keep Quiet.

If you never wholly give yourself up
to the chair you sit in, but always keep
your leg and body muscles half contract
ed for a rise; if you breathe 10 or 10
instead of 16 times minute and never
quite breathe out at that, what mental
mood can you be in but one of inner
painting and expectancy and how can

sake your mind? On the other hand,
how can they gain admission to your
mind if your brow be unruffled. your
