Here Is a minister who appreciates
the editor. At recent editorial con
vention he offered the following toast:
"To save an editor from starvation,
take his paper and pay for it prompt
ly. To save him from bankruptcy
advertise in his paper literally. To
save him from despair, send him
every item of news of which you can
get hold. To save him from profanity
write your correspondence plainly on
one side of the sheet and send it in as
early as possible. To save him from
mistakes, bury him. Dead people
are the only ones who never make
Mistakes"

laid aside when the soul is to enter
real life. Existence here on earth is
hardly to be called life. IT'S rather
an embryo state-a preparation to
living. Man is completely born until
he is dead. Why, then, should we
grieve that new child is born among
the immortals-a new member is
added to their society? We are spirits.
That bodies should be lent to Us while
they can afford Us pleasure, assist us
in acquiring knowledge, or in doing
good to our fellow creatures, is a kind
and benevolent act of God. When
they become unfit for their purpose,
and afford Us pain instead of pleasure,
instead of an aid become an incum-
brance, and answer none of the inten.
tions for which they were given, it is
equally kind and benevolent that a
way is provided by which we may get
rid of then. That way is death. We
ourselves, prudently in some cases,
choose partial death. A mangled,
painful limb, which cannot be re-
stored, we willingly cut off. He that
plucks out tooth parts with it freely,
since the pain goes with it, and he
that quits the whole body parts with
all the pains and diseases it was liable
to or capable of making him suffer.
Our friend and we are invited abroad
on party of pleasure that is to last
forever. He was first ready, and has
gone before us. We could not con-
veniently all start together; and why
should you and be grieved at this,
since we are soon to follow, and we
know where to find him? Adieu, my
dear, good child, and believe that I
shall be, in every state, your affec-
tionate papa.

Saws the Fair Haven Era:

The things that the republican party
of Vermont wants today are the things
the people want and they are the
things the people will get If they see
that Fletcher d. Proctor Is elected
governor.
Right you are, Bro. Metcalf. The
things Fletcher Proctor and the re-
publican party stand for are the very
things the people are demanding. We
have in Proctor a man who has done
things-done. things that have bene-
fited Vermont: He Is not stock job
bling speculator "a man who has built
fortune on-the misfortune of others.
The peopie'of Vermont are fast COM
ing to this understanding when they
are up against September 4, next, one
cross at the head of the republican
ticket is all the trouble they will be
to to cast their ballot.

his speech to the community inwhich
he speaks we would respectfully ask
Mr.. Clement to answer these ques-

the evening of Aug. los They are
questions which are keeping some
men on the fence and we don't hest
tate to tell Mr.. Clement that if he an

MACKEREl SKIES.
Theories About How These Cloud
Formations Are Caused.

Theories About How These Cloud
Formations Are Caused.
The mackerel sky comes from the
same causes as all the cirrus clouds, so
called from the beautiful curl their
fragments often assume, such as
"mackerel Skies" mares tails" and
''cats' tails Meteorologists are not
agreed as to the cause there being two
explanations.
It has been suggested that these cir
rus clouds are the heads of columns OF
vapor rising from the earth and pre-
cipitated as soon as they attain a GER
tain elevation. rarely less than three
miles above the earth Q5.840 feet and
often five Or six miles 10000 to 10000
feet. If this be SO the visible cloud
forms the capital Of an invisible pillar
of saturated air.
The second explanation is that they
are caused in the higher regions Of the
atmosphere by the meeting of two cur
rents Of air of different water bearing
capacity, causing them to form into
parallel bands, each belt being COM
posed Of light, airy fragments, slightly
altered in appearance according to a
slight difference in conditions under
which they are formed. It has been
supposed that such clouds are compos-
ed of particles Of snow.
It might be added that they occur In
systems, long ranks Of them extending
IN one direction for vast distances and
being occasionally crossed by other
systems at other but also extreme al
titudes.

Three Children Take Paris Green.
DR.. G. W. Scott of Randolph was
called to East Granville Tuesday to
attend to three children who had
attempted suicide by drinking paris
green. He found them to be the son
and stepdaughter of George Hinkson
-Emmeline Luce, aged fourteen, and
Albert Hinkson, ten,-and girl by
the name of Libby Gushea, also about
fourteen. the children had taken a
large teaspoonful of the poison, mixed
it with water, sweetened the con-
coction and each swallowed a third
of it not far from noon. Towards
three O'Clock they grew very sick and
confessed what they had done,
alleging that they found life so dis
agreeable that they preferred death.
The dose of poison acted like an
emetic and was thrown out of the
stomachs of the desperate youngsters
before the doctor reached them.
They will recover.
