Glen Ellis Falls up in the Glen Region

solid column over seventy-foot preci-
pice, the sides of which cliff are rough
and jagged, and the mountain stream
as it hurtles downward is DETECTED from
side to side, and the msts rising there
from are of most delicate and finely hued
colors.
Silver Cascade, in the Crawford Notch,
is one of the sights of the mountains,
This waterfall is seen from the train in
passing through the Notch.
The water descends almost perpen-
dicularly for a distance of nearly four
hundred feet and glides over the face Of
the ledge clear, silver like unbroken
sheet.
Jefferson lies on the slope of Starr King,
and the broad expanse of mountain
scenery which unfolds itself to the vision
OF the tourist is one of magnificent splen-
dor.
The Presidential Range from Jefferson
is delightful vista, and the drives and
walks which may be taken from here are
among the best and most widely known
in the mountains.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republican

see any use in trying to keep this fact

is that same apathy and over-confdence

THE PARK LAKE.
Water Features at the PAM merican
Exposition in h uffalO In 1901.

The beautiful Lake here illustrated is
about halt mile in length and is within
the grounds OF the Pan-Americau Expo
sition to be held in Buffalo in 1901. The
scene is in the most picturesque portion OF
Delaware Park, which is considered one
of the finest in America. The lake is one
of a number of fine water features of the
Exposition, and is to be Illuminated in a
novel way at night by countless electric
lights. The wooded slopes and shady
walks that surround it are restful re-
treats, and the quiet lake scene is ever
picturesque and refreshing. The picture
is taken from a point near the west end
of the lake, few rods northeast Of where
the broad driveway from the Main
southern entrance crosses narrow neck
in the lake. A macadam drive follows
the bluff along the north side, at the left
and viaduct over Delaware Avenue con
meets the meadow Park with the lake
section. Upon this portion Of the
park many thousands of dollars
have been expended in Improvements
The shrubs and trees include many of the
rare decorative species and varieties
and a profusion of flowers is always to
be seen along the drives and walks
throughout the summer. The main
buildings of the Exposition are directly
north Of the point from which the view
is taken.
The lake is to be connected by a series
of small cataracts with the grand canal
mirror lakes and lagoons that surround
the Exposition buildings.

0Id-age Pensions.

The committees which have most
clearly pointed out the dangers of old
age pensions have also urged that with
in the lines of our present poor.law-sys-
tenn it is quite possible to do much, by
an improved classification, to distin-
guish among the recipients of poor-law
relief between the respectable and the
worthless. Much has already been done,
relief between respectable and the Guard
ians have introduced large amount Of
classification by merit. AS l have al
ready said, the immense majority of the
respectable aged poor are now relieved
only in their own homes or in comfort
able inhrmaries. The severe test Of alb
solute restitution has in practice been
greatly relaxed there is a legal provision
preventing those who are receiving help
from friendly societies from being dis
qualified for relief; husbands and wives
are no longer separated in the work
house; and in some unions of which we
had evidence much more has been done,
This, however, depends too much on the
will of particular Boards of Guardians,
and there are in consequence great in
euualities of treatment. The condition
of the deserving poor may be greatly
improved by relaxation in points OF
hours, discipline and visitors, and by
workhouse arrangements securing more
universally that paupers who have
lived respectable lives should not be OBJ.
liged to mix with the drunken, the dis.
reputable and the hopelessly idle. And
though extensions of outdoor rebel
should be carefully watched, and entail
great dangers, yet under wise and strict
administration something more may be
done in this direction.
But all this should be regarded as es-
sentially poor-law relief, and not as the
recognition of claim of right for servi-
ces supposed to have been rendered to
the community. No form OF State So.
cialism is more dangerous than the doc
trine, which has been countenanced by
Prince Bismark, and which is making
many disciples in England: namely,

and to receive like them, not on the
ground of compassion, but of right, a
state pension drawn from the taxation

perly granted to such workingmen in
their restitution, and the pensions

Want the Names Removed.

Harlow Nj. Smith, secretary of the
Young Mems Republican club, at Mont
pelier received the following letter, dated
at the Pavilion, August 16:
"In many States it is against the law
to attach the names of any person to the
United States flag. In Massachusetts
thev put the names on separate pieces
and hang upon either side. Some use
the pictures. We would ask you as Re.
publicans, who have preserved the flag
to do so and not mar its beauty by at
tachlng any names to it.
when Gen. Grant was nominee for
the presidency, and came into the city
with flag with his name attached, he
demanded it taken off, saying that nc
man ever lived who was great enough
to have his name attached to that beau.
tiful emblem. Many have complied with
our request, and we trust that you will
show your loyalty to, and love for oul
beautiful stars and stripes to have it
hang alone in its grandeur.
Yours truly,
American Flag Protectors,
by A. Bedford, National Secretary
40 Milk Street, Boston, Mass"
The Young Mems Republican club is
not as yet seriously thinking of remov
ing from the campaign flag the strips O
cloth that bear the party candidates
names.

Now To GET WINTER EGGS.
Begin the Proper Treatment of MOult
ing Hens Now For Large Profits.

Would you like to have three or four
times the usual quantity of eggs to sell
when egg prices go away up? When
eggs bring half a dollar dozen the
troubles OF poultry keeping seem worth
while-if you are not in the usual predic-
ament of having no eggs just when you
want them most.
If you really want to make the most of
the mid-winter egg harvest the time to
make ready is right now. In August
and September when hens are moultlng,
feed them once day, in the morning
mash. Sheridan's Condition Powder. 1t
has a remarkable tonic effect. 1t is not
a food, but makes all the food more
nourishiug, makes plumage quickly, aids
digestion and stimulates the ovarles so
that eggs are produced rapidly when the
rise in price begins.
Exnerts who have made the largest
known profits on eggs endorse this as
the result of all their experience. A hen
produces, they say about 600 eggs.
The profitable way to handle her is to
get all of these eggs possible in two
or three years costly and useless feeding
of the hen are saved, and by the udicious
use of Sheridan's Condition Powder the
yield of eggs is greatest in the cold
weather when they are worth most.
Those who neglect this advice will see
their hens recover from moulting slowly
and it will be late winter or early spring.
when prices have fallen, before their egg
yield pick up again. The record of Sher.
idans Condition Powder for over 80
years among skillful poultrymen shows
its value better than words. 1t is not a
food, but should be given in the food,
and it used as directed cannot fail to give
profitable satisfaction.
