He Saw 1t. VIII YOu2

One who has recently returned from
the Pan American at Buffalo opines
thus:-"IG would be difficult for the
most gifted writer to adequately por-
tray and describe this wonderful ex-
position In the choice of the site, a
most ideal selection was made and the
person who has not visited the grounds
has but slight conception of the mar
vellous beauty and colorings of the
buildings. What was barren waste
is now a most artistic park land
adorned with wealth of foliage and
innumerable Enthusiastically designed
beds of flowers. The part played by
electricity in the mammoth show has
never been equalled and the grounds
and buildings are dazzliugly radiant
with an electric illumination which is
to the beholder most bewildering.
The Midway is the best yet, according
to exposition goers, and in few, all
too short, hours one gets an inkling
of the life of half a dozen countries.
Uncle Sam has an exhibit which is
the admiration of every visitor. Mu-
sic. and there is music everywhere,
and by fine bands and musical organi-
cations, too. Every visitor gets his
moneys worth and ten times over at
that. There are thousand other
features which might be mentioned,
but you will see them when you get
to Buffalo.
Did you know that the Boston &
Maine has several routes to Buffalo?
either one of which has attractive
features galore; and if you are Pan
American tourist, send to the General
Passenger Department of the Boston
& Maine Railroad (X), Boston, for the
book "Pan-American Information"
It's a corker, and you'll enjoy perus-
ing it. It's free for the asking.

LETTER TO N. d. MARTIN,
BARTON, VT.

Dear Sir: You know how we'll it pays to
keep your carriages painted, both for looks
and to keep out water. 1t pays as we'll to
paint your barn and your house. We put
your barn first, because that is your bushes S
your customers see it,
You see there are two good reasons for
paint; one is looks; the OF her is wear. If you
paint for looks, the wear will take care of
itself.
Paint often for looks; and use good paint
for both looks and wear.
The best paint is Devoe lead and zinc ground
together by machinery; same proportions as
are used by the U. S. Government. 1t wears
twice as long as lead and oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly,
38 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. 81. G. Pierce sells our paint in your

How Become Wealthy.

In a New Hampshire city there
dwells an octogenarian physician who,
is known far and wide as a dispenser
of blunt philosophy. The other day
a young man of his acquaintance call

DOCTOR" said the visitor, ''but for ad-
vice. You have lived many years in
this world OF toll and trouble, and
have had much experience. / am
young and want You to tell me how
to get rich.''
The aged practitioner gazed at the
young man and in deliberate tone,
said:
eyes, 1 can tell you You are
young and can accomplish your object
if you will. You plan this First, be
industrious and economical. Save as
much as possible and spend as little.
Pile up the dollars and put them at

They All Agree to 1t.

He who takes himself to the shores
of Northern New England for a season

display of magnifcence beyond de-
scription. The visitor is delighted
with the seclusion which penetrates
the region and most remarkable
feature of the New England Coast re-
sorts is that its patronage includes
tourists from every state and country
as we'll as from every walk in life.
The hotels are without exception
commodious and finely appointed
hostleries and nothing remains uu-
done that will add to the comfort Of
the summer sojourner.
The Boston & Maine Railroad

Two Views of the Canteen.

1t seems to US that the pictures of the
effects of this policy presented in the daily
papers have been overdrawn, yet there IS
doubtless a foundation of fact for them.
It is impossible to make prisoners of our
soldiers, and remembering the classes
from which they are drawn, it is too much
to expect that they will not to considera-
BILE extent abuse their liberty. The fond
ness for drink is acquired by most before
they enter the army, and those who main
tain that it is better to supply means for
its moderate qualification under military
oversight than to leave the soldier to the
solicitation of the unregulated saloon
have much to support their contention.
On this matter, as well as many others,
the path of wisdom lies between the ex-
tremes. The ideal system is not always
the possible Characterization II.telligencer.
1 don't believe the law should be re-
pealed until it has been given fair trial.
There has been great deal of idle talk
concerning the canteen. The army can
teen or exchange, or amusement room, as
it is variously called, was at first simply a
place where soldiers might congregate to
play games and amuse themselves. The
sale of liquor was not allowed. The last
act of congress places the institution back
on the old footing. I am not sure that
congress has made great mistake in
again prohibiting the sale of liquor. Our
large manufacturers don't find it necessary
to provide places where their employees
can congregate and drink. The railroad
companies don't. There is very little
drinking among railroad men and they
seem to get along just as well.-LIEUT.

Some Figures That ADDan.

Few people appreciate the magni-
tude of the operations of the j. Pier
pont Morgan railroad syndicate which
has virtually secured control of IL
large systems, aggregating length
of 55,592 miles, or more than double
the circuit of the globe. The total
mileage of the United States is about
about $4,000 and Canada has some
thing like $1,000 miles of road. The
total capitalization of United States
railroads is about 81, 100000 which
does not include the floating debt.
This syndicate then of J. Pferpont
Morgan and his associates represents
more than onefourth of the railroad
mileage of the United States, capital
of more than $4,000, 900, 900 and an an
nual earning capacity of So, 900, 900, 900.
It's magnitude as compared with the
railroad system Of any foreign country
makes the foreign systems seem very
small. Russia, with her enormous
area, has but $4,000 miles of road
Germany has ~, OOO, france 70, QUO ana
Great Britain about 21, 800.
Thus it will be seen that the Morgan
syndicate will control greater mile
age than the total railroads of any
two empires of the world, except a
small excess of mileage owned
by Russia and Germany combined. 1t
is the greatest concentration of capital
under central control ever known. 1t
probably exceeds athe wealth of the
entire world, outside Of lands, in the
time of Caesar, and Possession has
been acquired, not by conquest and
force of arms, but by shrewd manage
ment under system of government
which fosters commerce and encour-
ages individual effort.

Psychology OF Swearing.

Most profane expressions are the
fossil remains of religious terms or
ejaculatory prayers and the history
Of profanity is intimately bound up
with the history Of religion. 1t is held
by some that profane objurgations
are instructive or initiative relics of
the habit of our wild ancestors of SIM
ulating the cries Of ferocious animals
and Of uttering sounds calculated, by
their harshness or their volume, to
inspire terror By and by came the
time when certain words became sa
cred by reason of their religious asso-
citation, or later still, because their
unconventional use being severely
punished, the deed savored Of reckless
violence.
A few centuries later men took to
utilizing the anathemas of the church
for their private purposes, and sought
to inspire fear by evoking images of
torture and endless suffering. The
angry primitive man tried to shock
his enemy by calling on thunder and
gods; and the angry modern man
consigns him, in tones Of awful wrath,
to. eternal punishment. From the
shock of terror there came the shock
of temerity in taxing holy names
in vain, so that the greater the rever-
ence of names of saints or places Or
deity, the greater is the shock to the
man sworn at, and presumably the
greater the relief to the man swear
ing.-MedicdI Press.
