The OUTLOOK.

The We hardly realize
Worlds how many people
UnfOrtunatc,. there are in the
world who are without full powers of
mind and body until special attention
is called to the fact by some special
cases. Let a new discovery for blind
ness or deafness be made known and
there are multitude of applicants
who seek relief by the new remedy. 1t
has also proved to be the case in the
matter of hip dislocations to which
special attention has been called by
the cure of Mr. Armour's daughter by
DR. Lorenz of Europe. At one hospi-
was to be given and where about 100
cases were expected to appear, 1000
cases appeared. In all there were 5000
applications for treatment where only
the hundred were looked for. 1t SIM
ply illustrates that in this world OF
ours there are good many more peo-
pie who are doomed to suffering for
life through one form or another Of de-
formity or disease. Let the man in
health and with all his powers thank
God and take courage, even if he does
not have a bank account of million
dollars. Let the one in favored Cir
cumstances also show that true sym
pathy for the distressed which ought
to be in every good mans heart. For
the fact is we are too hard hearted

Editor NEWTOWN BEE: Having

fright on the approach of bicycle, or

SOCIAL TOPICS, NO. III.
CUSTOMS.-BY o. O. WRIGHT.

In the settlement of this country
the different elements Of population
brought with them diverse ideals, Gus
toms and manners. The social customs
of the English were in some points
different from those of the Dutch; the
Dutch differed from the French; and
the Spanish differed from all the rest.
Not orly that, but the different classes
of the same race and nation varied
from each other no doubt, as to ques-
tions of proprieties and ethics Of the
social relations. Everything about a
community depends upon the people
who make it what it is, as to it's race
ideals, traditions, qualities of charac-
ter, morals and usages.
These considerations will account in
a measure for the various standards
which are still found, touching the
social intercourse of the sexes, in tie
different New England states, and
even in different communities in the
same state. We may be able to trace
the customs which prevail in any
community, even at the present time,
back to the first settlers. With them
it was a part Of their inheritance
through long line of ancestors. The
peculiar practices of the people may
inhere in the blood of the race, they
may be kept alive by mere force of
tradition, or they may continue by
means of education. In some instances
the social customs are rooted in re-
ligion.
Fifty years ago, in New England, the
rural towns were largely isolated, and
maintained their own peculiar customs
and habits without much concern as
to what was going on in the cities and
suburban places. Country people had
/ their own ideals, and kept their own
convictions as to what was the proper
conduct of their own local and individ.
ual life. They seldom went far from
home, few persons from the outside
world came into close contact with
| them, and society at large had com.
paratively little influence in shaping
their affairs.
All this has been greatly changed
within the last few years. The coun
| try people have gone to the cities, the
city folks have migrated into the rura
| communities for the summer; the life
of the metropolis is dominant every
| where; the national ideals have come
to the front; and we meet and minglt
with fellow creatures from all the
countries and races of the earth.
| The customs, manners and uSageS o.
| the rural communities of 25 years ago
are unfit and unseemly, in many par
ticulars, in the eyes of the best society
of the present day. We are entering
upon a different phase of civilization
based upon larger relations, more
scientific adjustment of human inter
ests, and higher standard of charac
ter and conduct. The inhabitant O.
the little country village is no lOnge
isolated and provincial except as hi
prefers to be so, he is citizen of the
world, and may be educated, cultured
travelled, familiar with the best tin
earth has produced-th peer of mobiles
and princes, and must therefore be a
student of social science and know thu

MISS LORD sPFA-s NEXT SUNDAY
EVENING.
When the congregation was dismiss

gregational church, it was left. uncer-
tain whether Miss Lord would speak
next Sunday evening, May 3. 1t can
now be announced with certainty that
she will hold an evangel:stic service in
the Congregational church on Sunday
evening, May 3, at 7.30 o'clock. A few
persons from Newtown Street went,
Tuesday evening, over to one of Miss
Lords prayer meetings in the Taun-
ton schoolhouse, and were surprised to
find every seat filled, two crowding in
to some Of the cramped benches.
The singing was spirited, the speaking
was of the kind that makes one do
some close thinking, and when the
time for testimony came one followed
another in quick succession. Miss
Lords visit to Newtown will long be
remembered, and since she holds but
few more meetings in NewtoWn Street
the pastor invites all to rally and press
the work to d splendid finish. Come,
then, next Sunday evening, May 3, to

that in the future it is not to be on ex

fire and wear. The ancient document
which means 50 much to our nation
and which has meant so much to the
world, will be kept as safely as human
power can keep it that on any special
occasion it can be produced. Already
most of the signatures have become
scarcely readable, and the ancient in

all the earth in the process of decay.
However it's fruits are in the hearts
of all men of this age and instead of
growing more faint they are becoming

To
Keep

To Searching for perpetual
Keep youth is still one of the
Young. quests of the scientists
as it was of the old Spaniards when
they sought for the fountain of per-
petual youth. A European specialist,
DR. Trunecek, says that old age is due
to the hardening of the arteries which
is caused by lack of salt in the blood.
In youth the blood has considerable
salt in it, but as years 60 on the salt
gets out of it by degrees. The result
is that lime forms in the arteries and
they become hard but the lime is dis
solved in a saline solution. The queS-
tion is how shall we get saline solution
into the blood. This has been tried by
hypodermic injections. While these
have stimulated the circulation they
do not seem to have stayed in the ar
teries long enough to dissolve the lime
to any great extent. Perhaps the next
move will be to have hot saline baths
so that the body may absorb more salt
by the skin. 1t would be method
well worth trying at least by those
who feel age creeping upon them too
rapidly
