The splendid faith and courage of
Elijah were best illustrated by his de-

Carmel. Then he stood alone for God,
with the eyes of the nation upon him.
and God indicated his faith. Great
heroism for Gods glory will never be
unsupported or unhonored by God.

MOUTHS HAVE MEANINGS.
Different Characters That Are De-
picted by the Lips.


Reware of the rosebud mouth
The mouth that is so tiny. The
mouth that finds its way into the
passages of novels, that may be
found in statuary. 1.-THE Venuses
have rosebud mouths-for the
rosebud mouth is Dame Natures
label, pinned to the face, declaring
that it's owner is vain, frivolous
and untruthful.
On the other hand, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph, the larger
mouth, with full, well-propor-
toned lips, which, when closed,
form almost a horizontal line with
the corners of the mouth, neither
elevated nor depressed, is the in
dication for truthfulness, loyalty,
firmness, justice. A large mouth
does not look pretty, possibly, but
il reflects handsome and womanly
qualities which should always be
in demand.
One often hears the statement:
90, what a short upper lipw and
the statement made in all SINGER
ity. A short upper lip is said to be
a sign of beauty. Upon the point
of beauty we have nothing to say,
but we do know the girl who has
a short upper lip is generally a
very conceited creature. and the
only way to gain her heart is 10
fatter her. That is point worth
knowing and recollecting.
Observe the wide mouth with
downward curves at the corners.
Notice particularly the points
mouth wide, corners depressed.
Women who have a mouth like
this would deprive their stomachs
of the best turkey dinner ever
cooked for the sake of gossiping.
A woman of this kind will neglect
every duty in life for gossip. And
she is not over kind-hearted or
sympathetic, either. 1t does not
require any very great brain to
move this wide, low cornered
mouth.

CONNECTICUT BLUE-LAws.
Esrly Regulations Of New Haven
Colony Were Very Strict.

| OOAOhJ WC4S WY 0bAASls
In New Haven the "blue laws
were famous for their severity
says the New York Tribune. Nc
man could vote in the town cleo
tons unless he were a member OF
some church. No Quaker or dis
senter was even allowed to steI
within the borders of the town
TO pick an ear of corn growing in
another's garden was deemed
theft, as well as any vegetable or
fruit belonging to another, penal
ty for which was fine and corporal
punishment. A young man could
not "court a maid in person or by
letter without first obtaining the
consent of her parents" For the
first offense under this law the
penalty was f5, f1O for the sec.
ond offense, and for further
repetitions Imprisonment at the
pleasure of the court. This was
an old Massachusetts law, but the
New Haven code was much more
specific than that of Boston. Tri-
fling with a young woman's affec.
tiOns was strictly forbidden,
whether by speech, writing, mes
sage, gifts or in any other way"
There were a large number of
cases brought to the courts under
this law, which was one of the rea-
sons for its later removal. Noon
was permitted in New Haven in
1850 to cross a river except by the
aid of an authorized ferryman. If
a young swell of the town wished
to row his women friends across
the river he was not allowed to do
so by the law. A debtor in prison,
if he swOre that he had no estate,
was sold to pay the debt. Whoever
brought "cards and dice into the
dominion" had to pay a fine of f5
English money!. Whoever wore
clothes trimmed with silver, gold
or bone lace at above two shil-
lings' cost the yard was present
ed to the grand jurors and fined"
A sweeping regulation was to the
effect that no one should keep
Christmas or saints days, dance
or play cards. Married people had
to live together or be imprisoned,
divorces being allowed only in re-
markable cases. In 1912 the card
playing regulation was still in
force, as in that year seven young
men in New Haven were arrested
for the crime, punished and made
to pay fines and costs amounting
to nearly So apiece. The minis
tiers of the church could not per-
form marriage ceremonies, that
Office going TO the legal fraternity.
II man struck his wife he was
fined. but if a woman struck her
husband she might be whipped by
town court order. Every man in
the colony had to have his hair cut
round like a poll by a pumpkin
set Oh his head or bowl.

Louisville Republicans Split.

The Roosevelt faction of the Re-

to make former Gov. w. o. Brad

Committeeman from this State in
place of John w. Yerkes. There
is an intense feeling, bordering up
on bitterness, between the Hanna

looks as if hot scrap will be made

Dropped Dead.

Edward j. Harris, prisoner at the
house OF correction, had a fight the aft
ernoon OF Nov. 25 with Fred Thomp-
son Of Vergennes, during which he
dropped unconscious, dying few
minutes afterward. The lad was IL
years of age aud a son of Jack +.
Harris, an emplOye at the Senate post
Office at Washington, d. c.
Both Harris and Thompson have
been in the reform school at YER
gennes, where they became acquaint-
ed and at Rutland they worked at the
same bench in the marble shop until
quite recently, when they were moved
about II feet apart. Harris is said to
have been troublesome character and
whenever he had been brought into
close contact with the other prisoners
had had more or less trouble with
them.
OF late he had been constantly trying
to pick quarrel with Thompson, who
is Is years of age, until the latter
could stand it no longer and struck
Harris three times. Before the guards
cou Id intefere Harris fell unconscious
and was removed to the corridor. DR..
G. +. LaPoint, who was at the time at
tending another patient in the institu-
ton, was called, but before he reached
the spot Harris was dead. There
were no marks on the body and it is
the opinion of the physician that the
boy died of heart disease rather than
from injury received in the mix-up.
Harris went TO the house OF correc-
tion from Burlington on July Is to
serve sentence of not less than 10
nor more than u months for larceny,
and Thompson arrived October 2 to
serve a sentence of lO2 days.

Yermont Postomoas.

There are AZ postoffices in Vermont
of what is known as the presidential
class and the amount of money taker
in at them during the fiscal year JUS
ended was S447 1888, by far the
largest gross receipts ever recorded
I by Vermont offices OF the presidential
class.
Forty-eight per cent of this money,
or S2l4,6l3.23. was retained in the
state, being the aggregate Of expenses
for running those offices, leaving a
net revenue of S233, 122 60, which
was turned back into the federal treas
ury and which was, sooner or later,
applied to paying bills for mail trans
portation by railroad, stage coach
or in other ways. The aggregate
total expenses OF these offices COM
prised the following items Post
masters salaries, ISL, 400; clerk hire,
500 ,360.03; rent, light, fuel. 81, 513.S6 /;
incidentals, S2.S67.Sl; and free de-
livery in towns and cities. $50, All SO.
These figures are all the more in
teresting when compared with the
figures tor the previous fiscal year,
which were Gross receipts, S413.-
.937 .S3 ; postmasters' salaries, SIS, 900 /;
clerk hire, So. 2l9.44 rent, light and

receipts, and the net revenue S2l2,-
952.5l. IL will be noted that all the

larger than for the previous year save
for the unimportant item of incidental
expenses.
Aside from these AZ presidential
offices there are 491 fourth class post
offices in Vermont. Fourth class
postoflices pay no revenue to the
government, the postmaster being
given the amount of stamps cancelled
for his compensation. OF these 49I
postoffices 25 paid the postmaster a

70 paid the postmaster all the way
from $50 10 500; 40 of the offices
paid their pOstmasters all the way
IRON $4,000 to $500, while 1888 of
these offices paid salaries ranging
from S200.0l to $500, and 66 OF the
offices paid salaries ranging all the
way from Sj00.0l TO 81 900.
Burlington is the largest Office in
the state. Its gross receipts were
7j,7l3,37, and its free delivery of
letters cost S14,s7370. Beside this
there are eight postolfices in Vermont
which have the free delivery system.
