Six young persons united with the Con-
gregational church last Sunday, one by
letter and five by profession. This is a
matter of encouragement, for it has been
several years since any one joined this
church. 1t is one of the few small churches
in Vermont that have been self-sustaining
all the years of their existence. 1t will be
100 years old Aug Is, and its gospel light
still shines undmmed and its financial
strength has not abated from what it was
100 years ago.

port of the letter carriers festival in that

could be expected.

citizen of Lawrence, Kan, said:
" l am now seventy years of
age. About three years ago ex-

At last became unable to move
about. 1 consulted several dis

me 1 had locomotor ataxia, an
other that 1 had creeping paral-

continued to grow worse. Almost
a year ago a friend advised me
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Before 1 had
finished my first box 1 found they

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life will make in the
appearance and disposition of many women
The freshness, the charm, the brillance
vanish like the bloom from a peach which
is rudey handled. The matrOn Is only a
dim shadow, faint echo OF the charming
maiden Three are two reasons for this
change, ignorance and neglect. Few
young women appreciate the shock to the
system through the change which comes
with marriage. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant drains which are often con-
sequent on marriage and wOmanhO0d, not
understanding that this secret drain is rob
bling the cheek of its freshness and the form
of its fairness. AS surely as the general
health suffers when there is arrangement of

At social held at the home of the
teacher in Venice No 2, 81 % was
raised for the purpose of framing
picture and buying some supplementary
reading books
At special meeting called by the
teacher in Bennington No. 8, a resolu-
ton was passed that the school board
shall make such changes in text books
as the teacher shall advise to bring the
school up to the best possible standard,
a complete change if pecessary
The interior of the school house at
Hazelton No. has been much inn
proved during the summer vacation by
calcimining the walls, painting the
wood work and the desks and seats,
and new front steps add much to the
outward appearance and comfort OF the
building.
The teacher and his good "helpmate"
and the pupils of Bennington No. 5
have by their own efforts secured fine
oak bookcase with glass doors and
French plate mirror in the top. If you
will write to the teacher, G. F. Friegel,
at Bennington, he will gladly explain
how you can do the same without ex-
pense to the district.
Some excellent improvements have
been made in the schoolhouse and sur
roundings at Hazelton No. 8. The
school house has been newly plastered
and wainscoted, and furnished with
new patent seats and a teachers desk
and chair. A good board walk runs
across the yard to the front door, and a
new flag and flag staff adds patriotic
adornment to the school-yard.
The school system of the future must
have life in itself; no dead forms will
suffice. 1t must be American, in Its
deepest significance, liberty loving,
liberty promoting. AS friend to true
liberty, it must encourage industry
sobriety, impartiality. 1t must in.
culcate love of order and respect fol-
law. Its course must widen in the
principles of government; the theory Of
politics; the resources of the people
questions of economy in industries anC
in finance; the responsibilities of office
holding, with more patriotic and less
personal ends in view the sacrednes
of the ballot-the emblem of a free
mans power and the pledge of free
mans honor. The school of the futur,
must impress upon the pupil the value
of American citizenship in all politica
and economic relations. "Intelligenc
is essential to good government, de
clared the Ordinance of 1887. Ever,
day the words of John Stuart Mill vii
become more applicable to the Ameri
can people: 1.-The province of govern
ment is to increase to the utmost tn
pleasures, and to diminish to the utmos
the pains, which men derive from eac
other. Josiah Little Pickard
