No House Of Seven Gables.

A cousin of the late Nathaniel
Hawthorne, who lives in Salem, says
there never was House of the Seven
Gables in that town. He tells the
Boston Journal that Hawthorne
came down to visit me shortly before
his death and we rambled about the
old haunts of his early days. | was
particular to ask him to point out,
if he could, the famous House of the
Seven Gables, because at that time
the controversy existed in some de-
gree. There never was any, was
his immediate reply to me. | never
had any particular house in my mind
when | wrote the story. 1t was just
fancy of my own As a matter of
fact, Hawthorne himself, in a new
preface which he wrote and which was
printed in the second edition of his
book, sought to disabuse the public
mind and correct the falseimpression
that had arisen. la the preface he
wrote himself that there never was
any particular House of the Seven
Gables in Salem, and that he had
none in mind while writing the story.
The old Philip English house that
used to stand down on English Street,
and which has been many years de-
stroyed, more nearly approached the
house which Hawthorne so wildly de-
scribed than any that exists to-day.

A Kicking Horse,

A writer in the National Stockman
gives this method of treating a kicking
horse: Put on him a strong surcingle
and crupper. Have one ring where the
check hook comes and one eight inches
lower on the right side. Now run a
strap from the lower ring to the crup-
per about where the hip strap passes
through. Now take a five-eighths inch
rope fifteen feet long, fasten it to the
ring at the check and then hook
through the ring in the halter and
back through the lower ring in the
surcingle. Strap up his left fore foot.
This should be done in straw yard.
Now you have him ready. Take your
rope and go ahead of him a few feet,
little to the right, and begin to pull.
Hold him steady and let him fight this
hard, but keep drawing his head to his
side and he will go down to the ground.
Now you have him where you want
him. Show him you can do as you
please with him. Keep him there
until he gives up, if it takes all day.
Show him you can handle him.

THE Liquor QUESTION" The av-
erage saloon is out of line with pub
lie sentiment. The average saloon
ought not to be defended by our
trade, but it ought to be condemned.
In small towns the average saloon is
a nuisance. 1t is a resort for all
tough characters, and in the South
for idle negroes. 1t is generally on a
prominent street, and it is usually
run by a sport who cares only for
the almighty dollar. From this re-
sort the drunken man starts reeling
to his home; at this resort the local
fights are INDUCED in. 1t is stencil
in the nostrils of society and dis
grace to the wine and spirit trade"
This reads like an extract from the
anti-saloon leagues Vermont issue,
but it isn't. 1t is a clipping from
Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular,
a liquor trade paper, which cannot
be classed among temperance fanat-
les. 1t speaks plainly and truthfully,
and has the advantage of knowing
what it is talking about.-RandoLph

A CAUCUS LAW.-There is need of
a law to govern the conduct of our
political caucuses, and a bill for
this purpose, introduced by Senator
Brownell of Burlington, doubtless
covers the ground. But this is not
all. If the campaign just closed has
shown the need of a caucus law, it
has proved still more the need of a
law covering the whole ground of
caucuses and elections. Either in
this measure, or in a separate act,
let us have law providing, as its
essential feature, that every candi-
date for leading state Office or for
election to the United States House
or Senate, shall make a sworn de-
tailed statement of what moneys he
has paid out, and for what purposes,
to secure his nomination and cleo
ton. Such a law will do no more or
less than put Vermont in line with
other conservative but progressive
states in this respect,-BrattIeboro

Hiuhlv Important.

Twelve hundred public schools were
opened in Porto Rico last week. Com.
menting upon this fact a Democratic
newspaper comments with enthus-
iasm as follows:
"The news is surprisingly import
ant because it means that $4,000
Porto Rican children have been start
ed on the right road.
"The news means that the youth of
Porto Rico are being given a chance
in life that they never could have had
under the Spanish flag. We have car
ried to them opportunities that Eu-
ropeans have come to US to get.
Those 1 200 schools with their So
900 pupils are part of the fruits of
glorious war for the liberation OF
Cuba-a war which in the result will
spread through all the new islands
over which our flag flies, free schools,
modern civiliz iUion and American lib
erty.
"What American is there, loyal to
the republics high democratic ideals
and am billions, who can read the news
from Porto Rico without a thrill of
pride ?"
AS exactly the same thing is taking
place in the Philippines, why should
not the Democratic newspaper praise
the Republican party and enthuse
over it's results in the archipelago ?

1t is possible that the butcher birds
"curious and cruel habit" of impaling
various creatures upon hedge thorn
is his way of supporting his wife dur
ing her period of seclusion. OF many
species the female is fed by the male
on the nest, but the butcher birds
prey consists often of creatures which
are too large to be eaten at a mouth
full. Even if the male could always
drag these carcasses to the nest it is
obvious that the female could not eat
them there; so the Harder" may have
been hit upon as a happy device to
get over the difficulty, the female fit

HE TOOK THE CAKE.
" Story of William Black, the Novel
list, and Mary Anderson.

~ Story of William Black, the Novel
list, and Mary Anderson.
One time when Mary Anderson was
playing in "The Winters Tale" in
Dublin William Black, the novelist,
who was very intimate with Miss An
derson and her family, insisted upon
assuming the part of one of the supers,
who was dressed as q very old man
with venerable beard and locks that
fell upon his shoulders. When Black
went upon the stage in this disguise,
he walked about among his fellow
supers with unceasing restlessness and,
judging by the wild motions of his
arms, seemed to be addressing to each
in turn an impassioned harangue. The
audience began to wonder who the
new actor was and what on earth he
was doing in play in which neither
Shakespeare nor the stage managers
ever Intended him to appear.
Presently came the time when it was
the business of Perdita to distribute
flowers among the peasants, among
whom Black had his place. Miss An
derson, carrying on the practical jokes
Of the family circle, had prepared a
surprise for this moment, and, having
distributed flowers among the less ia
vored supers, she handed to Black a
large cake crowned with a wreath of
laurel, saying as she did so, you take
it," in allusion to his triumphs in the
contests of wits at the supper table.
To her CONSERVATION, Black showed
that he was quite prepared to carry
out the jest, for, taking the cake from
the hands of Perdta, he Immediately
distributed it in substantial portions to
his hungry fellow supers, who, finding
1t to be of excellent quality, began to
MUNICH it greedily under the eyes Of
the houSe.-EXchange

"The effects of compulsory army serv.
ice upon the German remains with him
through life. He walks better, works
better, lives more healthy existence
because of it. Much of this benefit
could be secured for the youth of the
United States by all our schools making
military drill part of their routine. Be-
sides, such training would greatly in
crease our reserve force, providing
thousands of young men with a certain
amount of military knowledge"
The above from the New York
Herald German correspondent con-
tains much that is worth thinking
about by our government, state and
local. School work as a rule has the
tendency to make the pupils round
shouldered and narrow-chested, and
this tendency needs to be met and
checked by some counter tendency to
encourage hardy, robust develop
ment, and out-of-doors military
training meets this demand. We be-
lieve military drill for boys and sys-
tematic calisthenic exercise for girls
in every school would be great help
to physical development and conse-
quently to scholarship.
