How to Have Genius Rewarded.

The artist was bewailing his luck.
my paintings are gems" he said.
"Even the critics admit that. but
can't get any prices for them.'
"Of course not" returned the man Of
business. "You see, the trouble with
you is that you are alive, and genius
Is rewarded only after death. Now,
if you could arrange to die"-
"But how could l profit by that?'
demanded the artist.
"Let me fnish,'' said the man of
business. eff you could arrange to die
temporarily, your fortune would be
made. Just make me the executor Of
your estate, drop out Of sight for
awhile and you will have both fame
and money. The trouble with you art
lists is that you have no head for bust
ness. Now the moment you are gone
you will be written up and lauded, and
all the pathos of your struggle for rec
ognition will be brought out, and peo-
pie will just fall over themselves to
get your paintings. Just give me
chance to kill you off, and I'll have you
rolling in ealth."-Chicago Post.

at the belief in a God from /, man
as eminent as Prof Tyndall de-
signed for popular reading is
offensive, surely quite as much So,
as dogmatlsm or arrogance could
be from any theological source.
While millions of the most en-
lighted and purest Of earth cling
to that origin and end of the oper-
ations of nature which the bible
revelation has set forth, it is un-
pardonable for one man, thus to
thrust upon the readers of his
book such assertions and scatter
them broadcast to corrupt the
young and unsettled, the unwary.
Hon. Tyndall strikes at the doc
trine of the existence of God!
When men like Prof. Tyndall
shall hush forever the cry of a
babe for it's mother, and subdue
every other human instinct, he

mighty instinct Of humanity

Depth of Cyclones.

From the study of clouds Professor
+. II. Bigelow of the United States
weather bureau concludes that the Or
binary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not more
than two or three miles in depth, al
though their diameter is many hun
dreds of miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions Of the atmosphere. In the case
Of hurricanes Professor Begelow finds
that the depth is greater, amounting to
as much as five or six miles. But high
er currents blow directly across the
cyclonic and anticyclonic areas which
produce storms and fair weather at the
surface Of the earth Some of Pro-
fessor Bigelow's conclusions upset for

have to 60 three and one-half miles

that Princeton likes to draw taxes
but not support school. If not
why not give a school to the pupils
who live ten miles from their own
school and three miles to the near
est school in the adjoining district!
They have to pay the taxes to
Princeton but receive no schooling
from them. We know that
Princeton does not mean to do this
but still it is so all the same.

FORGET BUSINESS AT NIGHT
That Is the Only Way to Be Sure of
Doing Your Best Work.

That Ia the Only Way to Be Sure of
Doing Your Best Work.
Every business man of common
sense knows, whether he chooses to
acknowledge it or not, that the farther
away he gets in the evening from his
commercial associations during the
day, so that his business associates or
thoughts of it or them cannot get at
him, the healthier he is, the wiser life
he leads-in short, the better off he is
in every respect and the abler for the
duties of the morrow" writes Edward
Box in The Ladies' Home Journal.
'NoW, what does he get in the city
in the evening, even if he lives a care
fully regulated life? There is no mode
of life he can possibly follow which is
in any way recuperative to his mental
or physical being. He has never been
out of hearing Of the noises Of the city
or out of the range of it's lights. Every
night he has slept in the polluted air Of
the city and in the morning has looked
out on the gray sidewalks which he
sees all day long. What does such a
AIdu huO" VI tuC IGlI0Su-
ing and blood auickening experience of
opening the shutters of his chamber
window upon a landscape of space and
sunshine? And, what is far worse,
what do his wife and children know Of
such blessing?
''Yet he deludes himself into the be-
lief that he must live in the city, so as
to be in touch with things If you
ask him what those things are, you
invariably discover that they are of
business nature, either strictly busi-
ness or some social convention which
he feels has bearing on his business.
But it is always business, business!
Now, a man living under this pressure
rarely does his best work, although he
fully believes that he is doing it. But
he cannot be giving out the best be-
cause he does not allow the best to get
within him."

"DOING ONES BEST"


At the first glance this looks very
easy, still, most Of us know that there
are days when we do not by any means
attain to so high a standard. 10 do
ones very best implies that one has
conscience that will not be satisfied
with half measures, that one has more
than the average amount of good
health and that ones ideal is q lofty
one. Most Of us start off splendidly
when we begin anything new. The
real testing time comes when the
novelty is worn off and we are tired
and begin to carry the load wearily.
The old proverb, "A new broom
sweeps clean," would never have been
spoken if the invariable custom Of the
world had always been to do the best
Oh all occasions. The great cathedrals
Of Europe were built slowly through
the ages by men who did their best.
The great explorers and investigators
in science have done their best. What.
ever the work, If it is worth doing at
all, it Is worth doing well.
The person who has reputation for
accuracy and for punctuality, whose
work Is always thorough and whose
name stands for the best he can do,
never need fear that he will not find
room at the top.-Harper's Bazar:

Tyndall and the Existence of God.

lynQall ana the Existence OF UO0.
In Prof. Tyndall's popular scien-
titic work on ''The Forms of
Water,"- he says: E'What we
really ought to say and confess is
that our powers are absolutely un-
able to comprehend either the
origin or the end of the operation
of nature. But while we thus
acknowledge our limits there is
also reason for wonder at the ex-
tent to which science has measured
the system of nature.
I'm doing this science has en-
countered and overthrown various
forms Of superstition and deceit,
and incredulity and imposture.
But the world continually pro-
duces weak persons and wicked
persons and as long, as they con-
tinue to exist side by side as they
do, in this, our day, very debasing
beliefs will continue to infest the
world. :" Paragraphs 81 and 92.)

Quick Way of Reaching Canadian
Points.

AS the demands for an improved train
service to Canadian points from Spring
field, Holyoke and intermediate territory
have presented themselves through an in
crease in business, the Boston e. Maine
railroad have been quick to appropriate
the fact, and in return increased service is
the result.
From Springfield there is a train in the
morning at 9:l5 A. NJ. and in the evening
at 500 p. NJ. connecting at Newport, Vt,
for points on the Canadian Pacific, also
connecting at Sherbrooke for points on the
Grand Trunk railway and at Lewis with
the IntercolOnial railway for points east,
and at each junction point good connec.
lions are made. There are through cars
to Lewis without change, and ticket rates
are the lowest. Passengers from Athol
Orange and Millers Falls will connect
with this train at Greenfield as will
patrons from North Adams and Shelburne
Falls. AT Bellows Falls passengers from
Winchendon will make close connection.
where also connection will be made from
points on the Rutland road.
ANY ticket agent of the Boston & Maine
railroad will supply you with information

that held the ridge in 1868 but armed with

The statement in the notice of the death
of George A. Wilder, that the farm where
he lived had been in the possession of the
Wilder family upwards of 100 years seems
hardly adequate. Joshua Wilder came
from Westminster and settled there In
1865, and the farm has been in his and
his descendants possession ever since. His
first neighbors here were John Sergeant,
who had settled where the road turns off
to the suspension bridge, and Thomas
Sergeant, brother of John, who had set
tied at the foot of the hill north; and south
of West River, Samuel Wells, who had
settled where the women's Summer Re-
treat is, and John Arms, who had settled
where the Retreat farm house is, all in
1862. Benjamin Butterfield came and
settled south of John Sergeant, where DR..
Bemis lives, Jacob Spalding south of
him at the Waite place, and Lemuel Ken

The First Baptist church held its second
annual roll call Monday afternoon, and in
spite of the snow storm the attendance

motto for the year: "Not by might nor
by power, but by My Spirit, saith the
Lord"

sohn. The toasts and responses being
concluded, Rev. DR.. Marble made few
remarks, after which all Joined in the
reading of the church covenant "Blest
