Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-06-04

Once, says writer, l suddenly open
ed the door of my mothers room and
saw her on her knees beside her chair
and heard her speak my name in pray
er. quickly and quietly withdrew
with a feeling Of awe and reverence
In my heart. Soon went away from
home to school, then to college, then
into life's sterner duties. But l never
forgot that one glimpse Of my mother
at prayer nor the one word-my own
name-which I heard her utter. Well
did know that what had seen that
day was but a glimpse of what was
going on every day in that sacred clos
ct of prayer, and the consciousness
strengthened me thousand times in
duty, in danger and in struggle. When
death came at last and sealed those
lips, the sorest sense of loss felt was
the knowledge that no more would my
mother be praying for me.

In Norway and Sweden curious MI
.gration takes place, the irregular MI
grafton of the lemming. There IL no
telling where this strange animal VIII
begin its march southwark through
Norway and Sweden in search OF food.
The interval between one migration
and the next Is seldom less than seven
years or, az In one instance, more than
seventeen years.
The lemming Is species OF rodent
and resembles in some ways our com
mon water rat. Once started, these
strange creatures press on in straight
line. There is no checking their march.
If n wall or q house Is in their way,
they will try to climb 1t rather than 60
around it, and If they come to a stack
of corn they will eat it and then go for
ward. The Jennings are good swim
mers, and SO they do not mind rivers
and ponds, although they cannot keep
afoat in rough water.
The migra ton comes to fatal finish.
Taking a direct course toward the
southwest and southeast the animals
arrive after awhile at the seashore.
Still they must press on, and the lem
ming migration ends for another seven
years.

Story OF q French Cat.
This cat story comes from Pont Ste.
Maxence lOise), and for such a small
place it is an extremely tall tale says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that q resident in the place, who IL an
enthusiastic angler, used to keep live
bait in a small tank on his premises.
The angler also had a cat who natu-
rally was fond Of ash, raw or cooked.
This being so, his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out Of temptation.
But the cat knew a trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl gibets which were provi-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank, let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
on her own account. When the fish
nbbled at the bait. puss would catch it
with nimble claw. The angler, no
ticing the trick. threw the bait away
but half an hour later puss was at it
again.
We hardly know which to admire
most, the cats ingenuity or that Of the
concOcter of the story.

Some deliver into the musty old rec
ords Of Harvard has brought to light
an amusing provision with which one
Of the colleges eighteenth century
friends coupled what was for his time
a very generous bequest to the Cam
bridge university.
Mr.. Thomas Brattle was the tesla
tors name, and his interest In Harvard
evidently extended to the individual
members Of its undergraduate body,
for after leaving 600, then the equiv
alent of about $1,000, to the college
for Its general uses his will gives half
q crown to every student belonging to
1t who should attend his funeral
Unfortunately no account of Mr..
Brattle's obsequies is extant, but there
can be little doubt that the occasion
was made solemn by the presence of a
large number Of chief mourners" and
that good wishes for the deceased were
generally and feelingly expressed.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.

T. SYMPATHY" AM SHAMELESSNESS.
When lovely woman stoops to the sort of folly in
dulged by the Princess Of SaXony, lovers of virtue
and Of woman hate the exhibition, and there is a
mind to say with Otway, destructive, damnable,
d~eceitfulT'
who for her children's sake endures the anguish and
melancholy Of her lot in marriage, however intoler-
able and tormenting. Universal sympathy attends
her misfortunes.
Sympathy follows her when endurance ceases and
she removes herself or her children from the cruel
environment, or seeks the laws Intervention. But
sympathy does not attend the woman who, lightly
violating all sacred Obligation, seeks relief from her
burdensome condition in the cheap compensation Of
some Gypsy musician or domestic employe-in the
Princess's case the very tutor Of her children, whom
she parades in brazen, cyprian fashion in the capitals
of Europe.
Deflng the home is a poor cure for domestic ills,
and a weighted soul is scarcely lghtened by the para
mour's equal guilt. The two offending creatures only
embrace to sink together to eternal misery.
Saxony's Princess compels that sort of commisera-
ton which the human breast cannot refuse to every
unfortunate, but as for that sympathy" which con-
dones evil and encourage to defiance, she should
have none of il.
Crime is crime, however picturesque or romantic;
and she is guilty of the basest and most shameless;
q crime against womanhood, and motherhood.

STILL TANGLED.

Agreement upon arbitration seems not to have
closed the Venezuelan affair. 1t has not rid the con-
troversy of complications, nor greatly accelerated
progress toward finality of settlement. Developments
present a tangle that exhibits all of the prime par
ticipators in unenviable. unpleasant and partly sus-
picious positions.
The European allies will be dissatisfied with the
delay of such a body as The Hague tribunal. There is
no guarantee that Venezuela would be able, If will
ing, to execute the findings of the tribunal. The in
terests of English and German subjects in South
America will be no better defined than before.
Venezuela was in a wretched condition without
interference from the outside. What the c%ountry's
state is now probably the officials themselves do not
even know, although they may have some vague es-
innate. If indications are credible it does not seem
that the Anglo GermanItalian alliance knows where
it stands or where its purposes will stand tomorrow
or next year. The hostilities have demoralized bust
ness and reduced Vcnezuelas ability to meet finan-
cial demands.
Our Government seems TO have cOme nearest to
getting something satisfactory out of the imbroglio.
The Monroe Doctrine has not been attacked and
peace has been preserved as far as important nations
were concerned. And this result was not attained
by our diplomacy, but by the great strength and
wealth Of the American people, which made the Al
lance uneasy about proceeding to extremities.
