OPPOSE LIQUOR
SELLING At
VANITY FAIR

A petition has been signed by nearly POO
persons. asking the town council OF East
Providence to refuse TO grant license
to Vanity Fair. the new summer resort
which is TO open on May ss s;ther for
shows ana exhibitions or for sales OF
malt and spurious liquor on the prem
ises.
The remonstrants are headed by Rev.
III w Lambert. pastor OF the First Bap-
tist church. and they claim that the hold
ing OF such exhibitions as planned and
the sale OF liquors will cause depreciation
In property value In the immediate neigh
borhood.
The petition says that the resort will
attract 10 the town and TO the immediate
vicinity OF the resort many evll-disposed
persons, such as always mingle In the
crowds frequenting such resorts" The
petition will be presented at the next
meeting OF the town council.
Some OF the petitioners are members OF
the First Baptist church OF East Proyi-
dence Centre, the Second Baptist church
OF the Watchemoket section Of the town
and attendants at other East Providence
churches. Several are owners OF real es-
tate near the Vanity Fair grounds on
Pawtucket avenue Most of them object
10 the licensing Of the resort on account
OF the proposed sale of intoxicants Rev.
Harry w. Lambert of the First Baptist
church bases his protest entirely on this
ground. Speaking concerning the pur-
poses of the petition last night he said
II am emphatically opposed to the sale
OF LIQUOR. The sale OF liquor draws a
rough element TO any place where IL
gees on. We already have such condi-
lions at the south end OF the town, and
our women and children are forced to
suffer from the effects OF roughI talk
while they ride on the cars"

The Caus. of Snorind.

This Is not for you. because you never snore. No one ever does snOre himself. It is always the other fellow. But you can read this and then tell that guilty other fellow how to break himself of his bad habit, for snoring Is merely bad habit and as such can be overcome. It Is caused prl, marily by improper breathing-tha is, breathing through the mouth instead of through the nostrils-so, first of all. care should be taken during waking hours to breathe correctly. The habit once formed of keeping the mouth aS firmly closed as possible, he will be less likely to sleep with it open Then see that your troublesome snorer has Q proper pillow. He should sleep with his head as fiat as possible, for if his head is pushed forward and the neck bent the tongue drops back agains' the soft palate and forms an obstru* ton which makes all the unnusical sounds we hear when the air is forced past it-St James Gazette.

The Gods Bill of Fare.

An interesting exhibit in the South Kensington museuR London, illus trates the omnivorousH nature of the cod's diet. Among the fish falling q prey to its voracious maws we note the young of the herring, dab, whiting and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob- sters also form an important item in the cod's menu. The strangest part of the cod's diet perhaps is the sea mouse whose thick covering of bristles might be thought to render 1t unwelcome to any stomach. Large whelks and shells of whelks with their indwelling hermit crabs are also largely devoured. From it's partiality to mollusks, in fact, the cod may become an assistant to the she'll collector. Woodward in his Man ual of the Mollusca" remarks that some good northern seashells have been rescued unbroken from the ston,. ach of the cod. d."-London Globe.

The Last Match Saved Them.

The ship had lain becalmed in trop ical sea for three days. Not breath of air stirred the mirrorlike surface Of the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved iii stone. The captain resolved to wait no longer. He piped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward.
 T must ask all of you," he said, 'to give me every match that you have"
 Wonderingly the passengers and crew obeyed. The captain carefully arranged the matches In his hands as each man handed him his store until all had been collected. Then he threw them all. overheard but one, drew a cigar from his pocket and, striking the soli- tary match on the mainmast, endeav. ored to light it. In an instant fur- ous gale swept over the deck, extin- guished the match and filled the sails, and the good ship Mary Ann sped through the waves on her course,- Pearson's Weekly.

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growtl. The plants that turn to the right in the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere and therefore, for the sake of consistency it may be preferable to describe thf two kinds of spiral tendency as re. spectively ''clockwise" and "counte: clockwise,' which latter can be short. ened to "counterwise The honey. suckle and the hop turn 'clock wise '' while the convolvulus and the scarlet runner bean twine ''counterwise" Ex. periments made by growing scarlet run. ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis, cover whether the deviation of the twist was innate or merely from the direction of the light, disclosed the fact that the plant possesses an incina tiOn resembling the instinct of animals. of proceeding in q given direction, and resents any attempt to force it other wise

THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Home Grounds.

Writing in Maxwelrs Talisman Of the work of the garden school in New ton, Mrs. H. A Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school con- ducted by the ladies of the Social Sci. ence club of that town during the sum- mer of l9O6 Assured by George H Maxwell of the Home CrOfterS' guild of the Talisman of the free services of an experienced garden director, provided the. club could defray the further eN- pense of q garden, a committee of five ladies was appointed from the club to see what could be done.
 First they obtained the use of a piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass plot. Then an appeal was made by the com zNpittee to the department of agriculture ' at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent circular letter to about fifteen Of the enterprising business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the ex- pertinent to give it some financial sup port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of q week we had the required $100, and the director went to work. One hundred and six gardens 9 by B feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantum district, and the names of as many more inter- ested children were placed on the wait. ing list,
 A few Of these children, having learn. ed how under the direction at the gar den school, went back to the home dooryards which had for all time preyt- ously been used for dumps, cleared away the debris, spaded up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director. The reward was a scarlet runner at the doorstep, 8 row each of lettuce, radishes and beans and for garden flowers nasturtiums, sunflowers and sweet alyssum. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his home garden into the eXhibi- ton at Horticultural hall and was awarded a prize Could these children, think you, ever again be contented to live in a dump instead of flower gar den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect; that the soil through healthful, pleasant labor will produce food supplies sufficient to nour- ish the body; that debris, squalor and untidiness may be supplanted by clean. Illness, order and beauty and many oth CT lessons not the least of which were pride in ownership and respect for otb, CT peoples rights.

A Few Don'ts For Workinumen.

Don't forget that organization in. creases wages and shortens the work. ing day, making work steadier.
 Don't condemn the labor movement because you know of objectionable features" Every man and every hu- man institution has some imperfec. tions.
 Don't wait for the others" Others are waiting for you. Some must be among the first. Why not you?
 Don't forget that the more bitterly the employer opposes labor zaions the more the employee snoEld support them. There's financial reason Think 1t over
 Don't shirk the moral obligation to do all you can to uphold the dignity of your trade, to elevate the standard of living, to do better always.
 Don't forget that the vast majority of your trade is unionized and advanc- ing through organization. What is good for the majority is good for the minority. James J. McPhillips in American Federationlst.

SWedenborq In Ruffies and Wjo,

Swedenborg was great deal in Lon don where he was known and admire and had several good friends, but his small knowledge of English and the impeachment in his speech precluded him from any real intimacy. His slight figure, with it's fine features and haze eyes. was well known in the neighbor hood of Coldbath fields, where he lody ed, and he was often seen stopping to talk to the children, for whom he used to carry sweetmeats. He was always dressed in an old fashioned suit with lace ruff1es and wore full bottomed wig, carrying sword and gold head. cd cane. On Christmas eve, 1771, he had a stroke of apoplexy. and on March 29, 1772, the day he had fore. told, he died at the ho:se which he had himself named.-Occult Review.

Growina Flowers In Winter,

A long run of dark days in winter j. bad for the florists. It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can q! ways be maintained to the proper point, and with sunshine flowers will bloom just as freely when the ther mometer shows an outdoor tempera ture of zero as at the freezing point though of course more money must be spent for coal. But when, day after day. for weeks at time, clouds over hang the sky, nothing will grow as Il should. The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and wait for sunshine, and if 1t does not come in four or five days the blooms decay. So also 1t is with callas and roses. They will open halfway, then without sunlight, will quickly spoil.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
