Governor Proctor to Stu d nts

Governor Proctor addressed the stu
dents of Montpelier Seminary the other
day and among other things gave them
this good advice
81 can still clearly remember the joys
and difficulties of my own school days
My work as a teacher, on school boards,
and as business man, has made it pos
sible, too, for me to see school life from
the other side. l say to you these things
to heed in this time of your lives, which
is most important in the formation of
the future. First, be clean. AS you
think and act today, you will be thinking
and acting as you grow older. Be indus
trious, place with will and work in the
same way. Study with the purpose of
being able to contribute the most pos
sible to the world. Cultivate a taste for
good reading, for it is the most important
means of education now and later in life,
And learn to think and act for yourselves,
for when you step out into life you can
not Ian on anybody else. AS you meet
the difficulties of today, you are shaping
your future life. 1t makes not SO much
difference what you do as how you do it,.
There is absolutely no question of your
success in life if you seek to contribute
the most possible to the welfare Of the
world"

ducing qualities of Pages Perfected

letter from Fred Huchins of Roxbury,

GERMAN TOY-MAklNG.
An mployment of the Peasantry
in their Own Homes.

In an article entitled "Where the Toys
Come From in the Christmas Every
body's, Vapse Thompson tells of uni
versal occupation in Germany. Once
week." he writes, 1.-The wagons go
round through the Thurngian forest
and collect all the toys that have been
made in the wooden cottages, and take
them to the city. In Sonneberg itself
there are great toy-factories. There
they make the heads for dolls, using
porcelain or paper-mache or some other
composition; for wax dolls are not made
any more in the German world There,
too, the leather dolls are made, and all
those trinkets of glass and gill; that are
hung on Christmas trees, and the woolly
dogs and sheep. Thirty thousand
Grown-U Fps are employed in this pleas
ant trade in the Thuringer Valid alone,
and two-thirds of them work in their
own homes. And lest the art should
be lost, paternal German government
has established toy-school at Grun-
hainichen. where the pupils are taught
not such negligible things as reading and
writing-but the best way to make toys"

N.turs the Great Healer.

In the new system of therapeutics
it is as essential that disease be pre-
vented as that it be cured. Nature is
the healer and if given proper encour-
agement it has been discovered that
she will right the wrongs committed
by ignorance and misunderstanding. If
we know of no drug that will heal af-
fected lungs we have learned that
right living will prevent the lungs
from becoming affected and we know
that in the incipient stages fresh air
will work a cure. 1t is singular that
the most destructive of all diseases
should be durable or preventable by
the simplest, cheapest and most read
lily obtainable of all remedies. And
yet it is necessary to drive this SIM
pie fact home to every individual in
the land by the adoption of an ella
borate system of education and the eX-
penditure Of vast sums.-Detroit Free

squawmen Make Poor Husbands.

Senator Sutherland of Utah ex-
presses the opinion that intermarriage
with the white race has improved the
Indian in every way. This view is
contrary to the experience and observa-
ton of most persons who have come
in contact with halfbreeds, who, on
the contrary, are subjects of physical
weakness and mental deterioration.
This is especially true where the faith
ers, as is usually the case, are the dis
solute men Of the border or reserva-
ton, known as "squawmen." The off
spring Of such mixed marriages, es-
pecially if girls, have no place in the
world and would be excused in cherish
ing bitter resentment against their
fathers, to whose gross nature and sod
den indifference to consequences they
are indebted for life.-Portland Ore

Widows.

Widows exist in all countries, thus
counterbalancing the matrimonial de-
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows are cling
ing by temperament, and attach them
selves readily TO any object that can't
help itself.
1t is generally considered unlucky TO
meet q widow on a dark piazza by
the light of the moon. In many coun-
tries to be kissed by widow means
endless trouble.
All the perfect men now dead have
married widows. thus forming q con-
tinuous contrast to the miserabl
specimens who still live.
