What can we do mart We have learned
much. We can miti- cate and modify all
diseases AMI many we can cure. A sick
body is worth more prospectively than it
used to be. Once, when a bucket brigade
was the highest form of fire organization,
the flames usually had their own way.
Nowadays Cat least in large cities) disas-
trous fire Is rare. Great medical progress
marks the age Now and then discovery
like that of the new medicine known as Cal
cura-Solvent shines in the sky like a newly
created star Diseases Of the blood, liver,
kidneys yield to it, and cures of nervous
affections are made that astonish the doc
tors as greatly as they delight their patients.
1t proves that one more wonderful secret
has been surrendered by nature for the
good of man. The elements of Calcura-
Solvent have not yet been made public, but
it is certain that the day when the dis
coyere., Or. David Kennedy, of Kennedy
Row, Kingston, n. y, came upon them
$ fortunate one for him and for the
wolld.

TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF YER
MONT.

Among the many questions asked
by parents concerning the children,
not the least important are those con-
corning their education for future
work The young man and woman
is trying to decide as to the life work
which shall engage his or her atten-
ton Many who are allied with our
various young peoples societies are
feeling the call to engage in Christian
work of some kind. All the professions
are bidding for the best of our young
men and women, and twithstandng
the large numbers in EACH there is
always room at the top"
In none however are there offered
to our young people of today greater
opportunities for usefulness to the
world and to God than those in Chris
tian service. The call for missionaries,
pastors, pastors assistants, superinten-
dents of district and State Sunday
school work and Young Mems Chris
tian Association workers is yet unfill-
ed No better place is found for
training for such work than at the Bos-
ton Evagelistic Institute.
This institute is located within three
minutes walk of the broad sandy
beach at Revere, Mass, where so
many people go for the hot months of
summer. 1t is here that the State of
Massachusetts has expended so much
money in building a State Boulevard
which i'll point of length and beauty
has no equal in New England. The
school is only about forty minutes ride
on the electric cars from Boston,
where work may be had in practical
Christian service during the school
fn
their way through school,
The able faculty of a half dozen
professors affords instruction III the
following branches: Literary, includ-
ing language, rhetoric, logic and
essay work; also exercises in public
reading; psychology; Bible study,
including a synthetic study of the
different books, Biblical geography,
the Canon, and Interpretation church
history, including missions; Chris
tian doctrine and applied Christian
ity; music and New Testament
Greek. , Those who wish to take up
part of the studies only may be en-.
rolled as special students.
Graduates are being successful in
doing Christian service not only in
New England but in the South and
West as well as on the the foreign
field.
The requirements for admission to
this school are a good education
highgschool or acadeumic course, or
its equivalent and purpose to sub.
NIT to a close spiritual and mental
discipline as preparatory to the most
efficient service for the glory of God.

NO DEMOCRATIC AID.

Hon. John H. Senter of this city,
member of the national Democratic
committee submitted to the wiles of
the interviewer Thursday evening and
gave a reporter of the Burlington
Free Press the following as his views
on the Democratic situation in Yer
mont:
Mr. Clement has chance to throw
this thing into the Legislature, he
made his big mistake when he did not
make an immediate bolt in the State
convention on the platform and drive
John W. Stewart into hole. The
Republicans are sick of ring rule but
the machine will be active from now
on.
Mr. Clement was inconsistent in
is speech attacking the Republican
party for its extravaganza in State
expenses when his ticket contains the
names of the secretary of State, State
treasurer and auditor nominated by
the Republicans. These are the men
that have more to do with the State
expenses than all the others in the
State and if he wants these men elect
ed l do not see how he is to help
matters.
Mr.. Clement 5 nomination will have
no effect one way or the other upon
the State Democratic convention.
MIR. Clement is not running the Dem
ocratic party of Vermont. A straight
Democratic State ticket will be put in
the field. Mr.. Clement will not poll
Democratic vote next September A
man who will vote for Clement is no
Democrat.
50 Mr., Clement and his party have
stolen the Democratic platform, but
they cannot steal the party. For the
past thirty years the Democratic party
has been advocating the only two
planks that amount to anything, the
reduction of State expenses and the
repeal of the prohibitory law "

THE WORK OF LIGHTNING.

The thunder storms of Thursday did
considerable damage in different parts
of the State. Barns in Swanton be-
longing to John O'Neil were struck
by lightning and burned. A saw mill
in Poultney was destroyed by bolt
of lightning and fire. Two barns were
burned in Stowe. Several COWS were
killed that were standing under trees
which were shattered by lightning in
Bennington and a horse was struck
i'll Moretown. The horse was i'll the
barn when the lightning ripped a
hole in the roof and passing down
the rafters struck him. He was not
killed as was at first supposed. The
barn was not burned.

FROM MY GARDEN

A voice of song is everywhere,
1t fills the earth, it fills the sky,
And all the world is sweet and fair
My garden has an Eden's share,
With bliss the languid lilies sight,
A voice of song is everywhere.
My pansies speak with wisdom rare,
Their thoughts with Persian poets vie,
And all the world is sweet and fair.
The little children playing there
In careless mirth all pain defy;
A voice of song is everywhere.
The trees soft sway their scented hair
Der tender dovelets cooling nigh,
And all the world is sweet and fair.
And bird and bloom and breeze declare
With God there is no low nor high;
A voice of song is everywhere,
And all the world is sweet and fair.
