The First Freight Starts
To-day Over the
RUTLAND CANADIAN
The Passenger Service Will
Not Start at Present.

Burlington, Dec. 8.-The first
freight train to 20 over the new Rut-
land -Conadian railroad was set in mo.
tion today and the track is ready fol-
business.
Only freight trains will be run just

ious periods. One hundred finished
work on the north end a few days ago
and 400 left the southern terminal
yesterday.
The snow storms have hindered the
work considerably and for few days
back scrapers have been run back and
forth on the line to clear it Of snow.
In some places the watel has partly
undermined the track and this has de-
layed work somewhat. The public
may rest assured that no passenger
service will be attempted until the
roadbed is in perfectly safe condi-
tion.
The little stations are all complet-
ed. There are four Of them-one
each at South end North Hero, at

BIRD MUSIC.
Wonderful Effect on Indians at a Concert

In his "Recollections of an Old
Musician, Mr.. Thomas Ryan tells of
the effect produced by violinist on a
family party of Indians who occupied
the front seat at concert in Topeka,
Kama. 81 was told there was father
with six sons in the party, all very
large, broad shouldered men. They
filed quietly into their seats, preceded
by local guide, in whose hands they
seemed like good, docile children. One
can never know what they thought OF
us, but one can do something in the
way of inference. They sat quite i'm
movable in their seats, with their OK
like eyesfxed on our party while we play
ed serious music. No shadow of emotion
could be seen on their countenances.
The fifth number on the program was
a violin solo by Mr.. Schultze, and
for an encore he gave little caprice,
entitled "The Bird in the Tree. The
moment Mr.. Schultze began this
piece the Indians were all alive, their
eyes sparkled with pleasure, and they
nudged each other with their elbows;
and when the little bird-melody and
limitations of bird-singing began they
looked all around the ceiling and the
walls, doubtless expecting to see sing
ing birds fitting about. Not seeing
any they looked at the violinist and
began to understand that he was the
magician. The surprise and almost in
credulity depicted on the faces of these
children of nature was rare show In
itself. At its conclusion they jumped
up and down, just as little children do
when something pleases them. y

TALK TO FARM BOYS.
Conditions in Which They Are Reared
uive Him Stability and a ResO-
lutte Character.

There is desire on the part of many
boys raised on the farm to seek en-
ployment in the city. There seems to
be sort of fascination in city life,
because of the greater advantages in
the way of amusementss and educa-
ton. The farmer boys idea of city
life is that it is one of extreme enjoy
ment and perfect contentment, and by
comparison he thinks his own a life
of drudgery. When he looks at and
envies the well-dressed city boy, he
does not see the temptations and evil
influences that surround him, nor
think of the effect Of impure air and
is governed only by appearances. The
the air. He comes under the most
wholesome influences and is not sub
jected daily to those awful tempta-
tions which lead to corruption and de-
graduation, those evil influences which
work their ways so quietly and yet SO
surely into ones life. He is in posi-
tion to develop sound body and a
sound mind, and the conditions under
which he is brought up give him
stability and determination. He is
accustomed to hard work, is permitted
to share some of the care and RESPONSE
bilities connected with earning live
lihood, and when thrown on his own
resources is able to meet the stern
realities of life face to face, without
timidity and without fear of shoulder
ing any burden which may be placed
upon him. He may not have the
polish that mental training gives, but
he is familiar with the practical
affairs of life One may become
familiar with the sciences, may have
technical knowledge of the classics
and yet have to rely on his talents for
livelihood. The one who becomes
acquainted with the fundamental prin-
ciples of the ruling forces of the world
is building on substantial founda-
ton. Upon the recognized principles
of right and wrong hangs the success
or failure of every en- terprise. The
country boy is in posit ion to acquire
practical knowledge at small expense,
which will be more useful to him than
any amount of ornamental learning.
AS far as superiority is concerned, it
may be in evidence in farmer as
well as any one. 1t is brought about
not only by the occupation, but by the
organization of the facilities, the alb
solute adherence to the universally
recognized principles of right. If it
falls to your lot to be countrybred, be
proud of the fact and improve your
opportunities, which will bring you to
the height of your ambition e d.

MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD
How Mental Vagaries Are Awakened by
Suggestions.

We all know how little thing will
awaken the memories long dormant
and bring before us scenes which we
supposed had long since been tucked
away in some corner of the brain to
remain forever. Scientists say that
our thinking power is made up of a
mass of gray matter, which receives
impressions of happenings and things.
This is accepted as scientific truth and
it is ridiculous sometimes how the
gray matter becomes tangled and what
tricks it plays US.
In Chicago there is one young man
who wakes mellow if you produce a
coarse sponge before him. He say S
the scent of it makes him boy again
and places him among noisy crowd
of school children, as he was the first
day he went to have his young ideas
trained.
The scent of the sponge as the boys
and girls washed their states for the
morning exercise was he says, his
first impression of school, and now it
never fails 10 recall that very import
ant time in his life.
The recollection is keen and he grows
youthful as he talks of it.
The odor of new paint is another
awakener of memories. 1t recalls vi
wildly certain day at home during a
very happy time of his life, and as the
home folks are now scattered over the
country and the young man is living
in bachelor solitude this is another
cause for mental disturbance.
The olfactories are said to recall i'm
pressions more quickly and more
wildly than the other senses. A Whit
of violet brings thought of some
feminine friend; breath of a hay
field an occasion when the cocks were
chariots in imagination and the field q
triumphal race course.
The odor of baking ginger cakes
never fails to bring back to this page
a humiliating occasion now some years
old, when it was caught pilfering
from the colander in which those
goodies were placed to cool, and was
sent in disgrace to sit on slippery
horsehair sofa in di small ''front
room. 4"
To become child again all that one
has to do is to encounter an odor thai
was familiar in ones youth. The
sweet smell of a bucket that has for its
home an old-fashioned well, the scent
of churn, of raspberry bushes in
bloom, of marshy ground-all are suff
cient to plunge even a thoughtless per.
son into reverie that is as sad as it
is sweet Chicago Chronicle.
