Obituary Ethics.

1t has been we'll said that there is too
little taffy and too much "epit Apply" in
this world, but, per contra, why is one
constrained TO exploit a mans faults
instead of his virtues after the struggles
of life are over. "Nil nisi bonum" is an
excellent motto for one to keep in the
sanctum whenever he is called upon to
chronicle the departure of fellow towns
man. Such thoughts are suggested by
the surprising departure from obituary
ethics which appeared in the last issue
of the Brattleboro Phoenix in its cruel
attack upon the character of the distin-
guished artist, the late Robert Gordon
Hardie. The editor of the Phoenix would
have us remember that Mr.. Hardie was
"the incarnation of affectation, egotism
and conceit," whose personal appetite
was given free play to the point where
he lost command of himself" We shall
forget this "post obitum'' character
sketch and remember him as one of YER
mont's most distinguished artists whose
name and fame was known in two CONT
nents.
If such an attack on Mr.. Hardie had
appeared in the Philistine we should have
not been surprised; that it should appear
in his home paper and from such source
is not only surprising but almost unex-
plainable

ored custom which can be traced to the
days of the Roman saturnalia and even
early Persian customs. Our own custom
Of decorating our rooms at Christmas

Germany, where evergreens were hung

The Druids used to cut the mistletoe
from their sacred oaks with elaborate
ceremony. A golden knife was used
to sever the parasite from the tree.
During the ceremony two white bulls
were sacrificed, and music and process
sional formed part of the rite. The
groves Of Mona, once the favorite re-
treat of the British Druids, were cut
down by the all conquering Romans
and have passed from the popular MEM
DRY, but the mistletoe, which the old
Druids called .all healing" is still an
object of veneration. In some parts
of England berry is. plucked from the
mistletoe for every kiss that is given
under it, and when there are no more
berries left no more kisses are allowed.

Will Buy It Back.

w. b. Eastman's Remarkable Way of
Selling Ali-o-na, the Flesh Forming
Food.
Just ask Druggist W. B. Eastman what
he thinks OF Mora. 1t will not take you
long to ask him, but it will take him some
time to tell you all the good things he
knows OF this remarkable flesh forming
food.
1t is natural for people to doubt, but
when Druggist w. B. Eastman frankly
offers to buy back any empty boxes
when Mona fails to restore health and
increase the weight, and return the full
amount of money paid, it silences the
doubters and they cannot help but feel
that Mi o-na is an unusual and remark
able preparation. Used for a little while,
this flesh forming food will show that it
actually furnishes real nourishment, regu-
lates digestion and increases weight.
Weigh yourself and then begin it's use
and the scales will soon show the good
Mi-o-na is doing. 1t gives strength and
tone to the digestive organs, makes rich,
red blood and puts the whole system in
proper physical condition. If it did not
do what is claimed for it, Druggist w. b.
Eastman could not afford to sell it the
way he does, agreeing to refund the
cost. SOC, in case it does not give COM
plete satisfaction.
Every one who is thin. weak and out
of health, should begin the use of Milo ma
on these terms, for it costs absolutely
nothing unless it makes you well.

over their Ainu sisters of delicate and
dainty ways, the charm of which the
most stolid globe trotter is constrained
to own. If the women of Ainu-moshi-

drudges of the men in their youth and

they have strong patronage, whether
they are superannuated or NOT. There is
some talk of having a limited term of
office.
The frequent demand for more clerks
and larger appropriations led to an
investigation by the sub committee on
appropriations, who found that the
present force of clerks work only 61a
hours per day, while the law Of Congress
of March Is. 1898, makes hours the
allotted time. Representative Gillett
brought out the matter In letters to the
chiefs and the cabinet decided to enforce
the law, except on Saturdays during July,
August and September. The chiefs of
departments and older clerks accept the
matter philosophically, and Commits
sioner Ware of the pension Office, adj
dressed his co-woTkers thus: Let us
faithfully carry out the 80 p. IA. order
of the Department. The taxpayer on
the outside is working from 8 to 10
hours day." One estimates that if
100. 900 employees are employed $4,000
hours extra, it will be equal to a gain of
7,143 clerks to the government. Some
prefer to begin service at $50 a. m.
There is good deal of grumbling by
some clerks, but the real. estate men and
merchants of the city declare they work
much longer every day. Many appeals
have been sent to congressman, who
generally approve the bill. Some of the
older and prominent clerks work until
p. m. every day voluntarily, while in
other bureaus their work begins at
a. m. Some of the sporting young men
are not able now to go to the Virginia
resorts to visit pool-room and races and
loose money on bets. They claim they
are losing a large amount daily. One
chief stated that many OF these men
worked in other places many hours
daily before they got under the govern
ment's wing, but if unwilling to accept
the half-hour they are at liberty to retire,
for there are plenty of persons on the
waiting list.

Judge Hardy,s Humor.

The Boston Record has good story
of Judge Hardy which will be appreciated
by the st. Johnsbury folks who had the
pleasure of meeting the genial magistrate
during his recent stay in this town:
Judge Hardy, now hearing divorce cases
in the Suffolk superior court, has saw
ing sense OF humor, which is needed to
counterfeit the disagreeable nature of the
many cases before him.
AS II. n. Cummings was leaving the
stand Judge Hardy asked him, apropos
of the custody of an adopted child:
"Do you expect to get married again?p
well, Pm going TO have serious
think over it before do" answered Mr..
Cummings.
All right" said the Judge, "sit down
and think. Call the next witness"

with a singular summer formation of

Ingenious swind1e In Curios.

The craze for antiques and curios is
responsible for some ingenious swim
dies, but it is doubtful if many could
surpass that which victimized an
American woman travelling abroad who
while in Holland purchased some al
legged Dutch pottery which proved On
close examination to be common gran
lite ware made in America in odd
shapes and decorated in Dutch fashion
to be sold in Holland as antique cook
ing utensils.
American enterprise Is frequently en-
countered in various ways in Europe,
as, for instance, the experience Of an
American gentleman in London who
bought pair of rubber overshoes in a
London shoe shop which were unusual
~ satisfactory. On examining them
preparatory to buying another pair he
made the discovery that they were
manufac tured in Providence, r. L., by
an American firm, although they were
sold as English rubbers or gums"
The fact is well known that there is
a considerable industry in the manu-
facture of so called Egyptian scarabs
in America which are sent to Egypt to
be sold to unsuspecting tourists as gen
uine antiques.-Boston Transcript.

A Bit of Testimony.

Since St. Johnsbury voted "no" on the
license question last spring, she has not
seen, in the experience of any other town
or city which voted "yes," anything to
convince her that she made mistake in
saying no to the open saloon. Here is a
bit of testimony from Berlin, N. H., one
of the towns which said "yes' as soon
The extract is from the Berlin Reporter
of a recent date:
Berlin decided emphatica1Iy in favor of
the saloon, with the result that we now
have about thirty places where liquor is
kept for sale in the city. With the change
of the saloon, from the back to the front
room and the opening of the front door
instead of the back door and its wider
the amount of drunkenness in the CITY,
and the matter OF charging the capacity
of the police station has come to be a
serious question. The cause of this in
crease may not all be attributed to the
opening OF the saloon, as many of the
patrons are from among the floating
popula ton attracted here by the build
ing of the mills and many have come
from the crews of the Grand Trunk who
have been kept in this vicinity at work
upon the tracks of the company. The
lumbermen have contributed their
customary patronage to the public
boarding house as a result OF too deep
potations. and altogether the increase is
very noticeable. The increase in the mum
Der OF criminals has led to consequent
increase of the police force employed to
protect the residents of the city and their
property"
The experience of Berlin is typical of
that OF many Vermont towns which es-
sayed to try the new plan. Cold, hard,
indisputable facts which prove the dis
advantages and disgrace of the open sa-
loon regime have been piling up during
the past months. St. Johnsbury's i'm
munity from the open saloon evil has re-
bounded greatly to her credit, and we
believe the attitude she has taken will be
copied by not a few Vermont towns
which have trified with fire the past
months but do not care TO continue the
experiment the coming year.
A conundrum. If every merchant in
St. Johnsbury now using trading stamps
gives up the scheme and returns to the
old regime will not the volume of business
be the same as before the stamp war and
