AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

On March 12, in the chapel, all will have an opportunity to hear "Menar- chee,' a most graphic and realistic DOT trayal of life in India. Mrs Burnell
 the niece of Prof E. $. Shell, so long connected with Amherst college, and the granddaughter of Rev Dr Thomas Shell, for GA years pastor at North BrOokfield, Mass, lived some years in Southern India, and has now adopted a
 most unique way of picturing the life of the women in that country. Dressed tunes, and speaking in the first per son, she weaves together, in form of a continuous story, such facts and con- ditions as she became familiar with. As "Menarchee" she tells of her child
 hood, marriage and of the shame and disgrace which fell upon her because, for long time, she bore her husband
 no sons; then her great joy on becom- ing the mother of a boy. The climax of this story is reached when this boy, grown to manhood, graduates from col lege and breaks his caste. The story is artistic in it's construction, and is so true to life and so vivid, many have supposed they were listening to Hin du woman telling her own story. Mrs Burnell has appeared before large au- diences in various cities between the Atlantic and Pacific, and everywhere has given more than satisfaction. En- thusiaSm and voluntary testimonials of the most gratifying character have voiced her power and success. When she gives this most interesting lecture on Thursday evening, there will be no admission fee. A collection will be taken. The meeting will begin at 7.3O p. m.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
THE CONGREGATlONAL CHURCH

THE YOUNG LADIES SCORE A POINT.
 Postponed affairs are never, so folks say, ''go;" but this postponed affair went right along. The Pansy Circle of Kings Daughters, aided bv the misses of Rev Mir Barker's Sunday school class in the Congregational church, did
 themselves honor by the energetic way in which they carried out a little sale of homemade candy, incidentally serv- ing cocoa and waferS, on Tuesday af- ternoon. They did not start out to do great things, but they did a small thing eXcellently. Their modest effort net ted them S9.6O; and the Sunday school
 class will make it big X, which will help along in the good work of provid- ing chairs for Sunday school classes in the galleries of the Congregational church. The following young ladies poured the cocoa, took in the money and hustled about with cup and tray: Lillian Mott. Margaret Hayes, Loretta Houlihan, May McNamara, iEleanor Northrop, Maud Elliott, Flossie Beck with, Ethel Peck, IJennie Ruffles and Mabel Northrop. Arranged in cap and apron these misses presented pleas
 ing sight and acted their part to the satisfaction of all. Mrs L. c. Morris,
 Mrs George F. Duncombe and Mrs S.
 F. H. Hewitt were the power behind
 the throne and kept the wheels mov- ing smoothly. Now, young smen, you who boast yourselves the lords of cre- atiOn, your wide awake sisters have set you good example. Suppose you

There is now bill pending before the Legislature which will prevent the organization of wildcat corporations of the electric and railroad kind. Under the old general railroad law small party of persons can get together and organize for the alleged purpose of constructing an electric or steam road, but as rule their real purpose is to club some existing interest into buy ing them off. The new law says that no railroad or railway shall be hereaf- ter located, constructed or operated by any corporation which shall not have received it's franchise in special charter granted by the General As sembly. The main object of the amendment is to prevent promoters from outside the state rushing in and getting hold of franchises for the sole purpose of making speculative foot balls out of them. Under the propos- ed new law the Legislature will have the say about the charter and will be able to enquire into the proposed route, the amount of stocks and bonds to be issued and the special privileges desired. These facts can all be made public and those whose property is to suffer cln know about it. It is wise measure and ought to pass.

When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why.
 When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion.
 It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.
 Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs.
 Children take to 1t naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
 For all weak and pale and thin children SCott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat mcnt,
