pretty lively for a time, to subdue the

That fire is a good servant but bad master.
The article that appeared in your last
weeks issue concerning my children's
Sickness L deem advisable to correct, also
10 impress the author that he places him
Self in position where legal proceedings
might be instituted. Chapter 1913, 1850,
Says, ''any person who shall attempt to
hinder the work of the health officer, etc.,
shall be punished by fine not exceeding
80 or Imprisonment for 80 days" After a
reputable physician pronounced the dis
ease scarlet fever, notified the health
officer and placarded the house according
to law, notice appears in print contra
dieting the physicians report. Is not that
an attempt to hinder the execution of the
law of the state? Better that anxious par

Glover furnished her usual number at
the lecture at Barton last Thursday eve
ming. This lecture, except for the superb
views shown, proved little disappointing
to the majority; it was very evident, how
ever, that the Prof. knew exactly what he
was talking about, if we didn't, and after
all, its nice and quite a novelty to occa
sionally meet some one who really knows
more than we do, but we quite decided,
going home, that we wouldn't attempt to
reproduce that lecture, or tell very much
that we learned, for fear we might get
some of those dimensions mixed, it would
be so awfully bad to say trillions when we
meant millions, like the minister in the
funeral sermon Samantha tells about,
who said, ''As for the young man VINO lies
here, the least said, the soonest mended;"
and just here it reminds US of the story in
our s'reading book" of the battle of Blen-
helm, the old man said it was a famous
Victory. His little grandson asked, what
did they kill each other for? but all the
old soldier knew about it was, it was
famous victory. Yes'm, that's just how
we felt about the lecture, it was a grand,
good lecture, but just how, and why and
especially s'howsumever" we got SO mixed
up with those dimensions of ether vibra
tions that we can't tell much about it.
