TINS to the craze and have given or
ders for eye pictures. 1t is really a. re-
vival of an eighteenth century fad.
Cosway, the famous miniaturist, was
among the first to paint the eye alone,
and probably the first eye that ho
painted was one of the bewitching
erbs of Mrs. Fitzherbert, the reigning
court beauty of her day. 1t is now one
of the treasured possessions of the Earl
OF Portalington.
Sargent, of course, is still accounted
the greatest of living portrait painters
in London, but some society women
are fighting shy of his gifted brush be-
cause they say his telltale pictured
faces reveal more to the observant than
do the flesh and blood originals them
selves. A striking instance of this Is
now much discussed in fashionable
circles. He painted a portrait of one
of the most popular leaders of the
smart set. Among those who saw it
was a celebrated alienist, who at once
perceived something in the portrait
which had entirely escaped his notice
on the few occasions that he had OBJ
served the lady herself. 1t caused him
to inquire if there was not insanity in
the family. Some friends made q lftsle
investigation and assured him that
they could discover no evidence OF It.

Barre Times.

1t was expected that the grangers
would take fall out of the automo-
bilists, and they did. But there was no
strangle hold. On the contrary the
farmers approached the question APP
parently with desire to be fair to
the autoists and to themselves. They
say that they recognize that autoists
have Legitimate rights and nearly
everybody will agree with them. Like
wise teams have also a right on the
thoroughfares of the commonwealth.
So ouch, then, is settled. When both
parties to the dispute settle on that
point, there is step toward an amic-
able agreement Recently the position
of some men hostile to the motor ears
had led to the belief that the horse
has the exclusive right to occupy, the
road. But now that the grange has
gone on record as recognizing the
rights of the autoists, both sides should
meet on the common ground of uphold |
ing "wise laws, as suggested by the |
recent convention in Montpelier There |
may be difference of opinion as to what
wise laws, but if both sides
Ire fair in approaching the matter, the
breach between the two can
,asily be bridged.

The Montpelier Argus calls the TEN
perance resolution of the state grange
odd and indefinite and insinuates that
the tillers of the soil are straddling
the question.
The resolution in question reads as
follows:
Resolved, That we 60 on record as
deploring the saloon and all its interests.
We would brand it as the curse of our
homes and humanity, and join in the ex-
preston of the national grange that the
saloon ought to be carefully and vigor-
ously guarded until it can be abolished.
Every community should be empowered
to vote every saloon from its borders -
We see nothing indefinite about this.
The grange considers the saloon an evil,
but comedies the right of each commun-
ity to deal with the liquor question for
itself. 1t believes in license laws for
which want saloons but its
ideal would be local option with unani-
nous no vote.

in its own city, men who, too lazy to
provide for their own families, not only
obtain municipal aid for the latter but
secure for themselves sentences to the
house of correction CD for failure to
support their families and thus get their
own living from the state,
1t passes the understanding of the
ordinary man how any human being
could deliberately choose winter at the
Vermont house of correction 90 in
preference to as much labor as would
provide for him the necessities Of life.
But possibly men lazy enough to be will
ing to sponge their living from their
fellow men would be too lazy to enjoy
personal cleanliness and would there
fore be insensible TO the claims of SAM
tation II would be interesting to know
whether such deliberate choice is ever
made second time.
The state and municipal governments
ought to be provided with power and
means to stop this shameful imposition.
If an able.bodied man, unwilling to |
work, has been so inconsiderate of the |
rights of other men as to marry and |
raise family he should be compelled
by society to work and support his fam
ly, instead of being imprisoned for his
dleness. As mere matter of whole

work, even if not one cent were realized
