Anxious thoughts sometimes perplek the wife who sees maternity before her. If she is treading an untried path, shs sometimes frets herself into a nervous condition which is injurious and pros trating. If motherhood has already been a painful experience she is apt to shrink from the coming trial and by her very mental anxiety increase the possibility of her suffering.

THE PAY OF LEGISLATORS.

The legislatures of eleven states meet this month. The official messages of the eleven governors bring to mind the disparity between the pay of the chief executives of American states and of legislators exercising functions of, at least, equal importance.
 New York and Pennsylvania pay members of the legislature 1,5OO, and pay their governor $1O,OOO. In Maine legislators receive $15O a year, in Wis consin, $500, in Iowa $55O and in Illinois 5000. The in adequacy of their corpensa- ton, which in no case exceeds. $1,500, and in some states is adjusted on tho per diem basis of $3. S4, 3 or SS, re- mains Uncorrected for the reason that the figure is usually fixed up by the state constitution and can be increased only by formal amendment; and leg islators are 10th to adopt for submis- sion a constitutional amendment in creasinE their own pay or that of'their successors.
 No such obstacle exists, generally, with regard to the pay of the govern ors. Within the last few years the salary of the governor of Iowa has been raised from S3000 to S5.0OO, in Kan sas from $3.OOO to $J.0OO with an ad- dition of $2.C0O for household expenses; in Mississippi from $3,5O0 to S4.500, in North Carolina from $3,000 to $4000. in South Dakota form S2,500 to $3.00O, and in Utah from $2,0OO to $4.OO0.
 Massachusetts pays $S.0OO; Ohio $S GOO; New Jersey $1O,0O0: California S6,OOO; Illinois S6.OOO; Kentucky $6500, and Indiana and the southern states, except Georgia, from S3,OOO to S5,0OO..

Perhaps the disparity is no more clear ly marked than in Connecticut where the governor receives $4.000 and the legislators $500 each. I he latter rate of compensation is fixed by d clause in article 'NXII Of the constitution. which provides that $500 per annum with mileage. shall be the maximum pay of legislators.

SUMMER HOTEL BUSINESS CLOSED FOR
 THIS SEASON.
 The summer is ended. About Lake Waramaug the summer hotels seem silent by the absence of so many who have filled them with mirth and life during the summer, especially during the month of August. A few finger still but are daily growing less. Near ly all the cOttagers on the lakes bOr- der still remain, but with the advent of September we know that they, one by one, will soon have locked doors and the summer occupants gone to their respective city homes till an- other summer. So has seemed to go quickly the boarding summer of 1904 and we now will be obliged to fall back to the ''cheStnut" tale of how tobacco is curing on the poles and the small excitement and strife of the coming town election. A little later politics will wax warm around the "store stove" and the assertion then made and predictions offered will be some- thing of highly interesting order. But at present we must console our selves in watching one more house and barn erected at Lakeside, this fall, by MT Felt, contractor and builder of New York City, who has recently pur- chased the F. B. Mason real estate on the border of Lake Waramaug. The house is to be built, the first story of stone, above that two stories of wood and by its location we trust it will as sume as striking an appearance when completed as any cottage about Lake, side.

SOMETHING TO THE POINT.
 This correspondent would like to say a word about the villainous'stories circulated about the hold-up of Mrs Anah Spencer on August 3l and fol- lowing events. It is said to have been all fake, that Mrs Spencer shot her own dress, mauled and pounded her wrist, to make the marks of her wOu]d-have-been assassin and that William Sheridan, the hired man at Dr Hartwell's, made the bloody crosses on paper found at the doctors house, put the horse blankets on the hay mow in the horses barn which showed some one or two lay there one night, in short that these two persons are lin conspiracy to blackmail the public. And many of the reputable people of New Milford say that there what to believe. Does any sane per son believe Mrs Spencer concOcted the threatening letters which were re- ceived by the family some days before the murderous attempt on her life and said "that every member of the fam fly would be killed and also the sheriff If the detectives were not called off? And yet, well meaning people do not know what to believe! A very simple rule tells them what to believe. What- soever you would that your neighbor should believe about you, believe the same of them. Would you do what is charged against him? No? Then be- Heve it not. This rule leaves no re- factions behind it. Itr is perfectly safe whatever may happen. The courts have decided that whoever takes up and passes on islander, an infamous defamation of another's characte-, is particeps criminis in law. Every one must, does, cast his or her influence either with or against law lessness and crime. No one is, or can be, indifferent. Much indignation is expressed and justly, too, against lynchings and burning of people. Shall mans, yea! woman'S charac- ter be lynched and burned in the ig- nOminious fires of scandal here at the North and in Puritanic Litchfeld county, with only shrug of the shoulders and snug countenance? Is this twentieth century chivalry? Time has been when knight errants battled to the death for the victim of robbery and in defense of the sacred honor of wOmanhoOd.
