BLUcHER IN PARIS.
The Spirit Of Destruction That AMI
mated tho Old Soldier.

Humboldt's successful interyen-
ton to save the Jardin des Pantes
from the wrath of Butcher serves as
y reminder that tbS tough old sol
dlsE needed many humane advisers
to keep him from DESTROYING objects
dear and important to the French.
Wellington had often to intercede
with him, and that not invariably
with immediate success. lie resolv-
ed to blow up the bridge of Jena,
Wellington protested. "But the
French destroyed the pillar at Ros-
bach, and so on" grumbled Butcher,
"and the English burned Washing
ton" Wellington, seeing that words
we're ineffective, placed English
sentries on the bridge, believing
that the Prussians would not make
any attempt on the structure while
these men were in position. But
they did.
They mined one of the pillars
and put in a charge of gunpowder
and fired it. The charge exploded
in the wrong way and damaged the
Prussians, leaving the bridge and
the Englishmen on top in safety.
This having failed, Butcher sought
permission to demolish the column
in the Place Vendome. The king of
Prussia arrived only just in time to
prevent it.
Wellington managed better when
dealing direct with the French. An
almost unexampled instance of his
cbivalrY was Forthcoming in the
Orthez, the only 6aSs.Gtba bqAHq ne
received an injury. The French
had retreated over the bridge of the
Gave lu Pau and were preparing to
blow it sky high. The duke realized
that if this were done it would cause
great injury to the people of Or
thez, so he sent an officer to Soult
with a message.
A battle would doubtless take
place on the following day, he said,
and he promised that if Soult would
spare the bridge the British army
would not cross by it. Soult had
felt reluctant to consent to the de-
struction, for the bridge was on
French territory, and he willingly
took his rivals word and left it in
tact. Wellington kept his promise.
lie led his men, under a heavy fire,
across the river by way Of the fordS,
and the bridge stands to this day.

Thoughts are certainly able to
spread themselves without the aid
Of looks or language. Invisible seed
that floats from the parent plant
can root itself wherever it settles,
and thoughts must have some medi-
UNI through which they sail till they
reach minds that can take them in,
and there they strike root, and
whole crops of the same sort come
up just as if they were indigenous
and naturally belonging to their
entertainers. This is even more
true in great matters than in small.

The Hyde Park Savings Bank.

The press of the state are saying
some very kind things about the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co.
The fact that it has never lost a
dollar by a poor note and that all of
its money is kept in Vermont, seems
to be the keynote to most OF these
editorial notices.
The Banks assets passed the mil
lion-dollar mark July nth.
The motto of the bank, "Vermont
money for Vermonters to foster Yer.
mont industries and to develop Yer
mont enterprises" is slogan which
seems at this time to be especially
popular in the Green Mountain
State.

For June 10th, 1907.
We meet as kindred here once more,
Whero Meccawe invites,
It's waters flow between its shores
To keep them fair and bright.
And so the tide of kindred blood
Shall, from its fountain pure,
Pour through our veins its living food
OF friendships that endure.
Descended from those hardy sons
That first the wildwood trod,
Wen keep, until our course be run,
Fealty to home and God.
For this whole land from sea to sea
Is. while we live, our home,
And yearly, though we sundered be,
To Meccawe we'll come.
We that have never met before
Acknowledge kinship's claim,
Though not all Curtis to the core,
And many not in name.
There's Hudson, Emerson and Wood,
Southgate. Kingsley and Moore,
And other names both famed and good,
Now and in days of yore.
What bravery has marked their deeds
In times of cruel war,
They fail not when their country needs
Their service near or far.
In times of peace how kind they are
To all who need their aid
Those who are bearing every day,
The burdens on them laid.
Of every station and degree,
Our callings count a score,
Our restless action strenuously
Is urging "try once more"
Such are the tides of life that pour
Their srdor through our veins;
Till we shall Heaven attain.
Wen have a grand reunion there
With loved ones gone before;
Gathering the fruit our actions bear,
On Lies eternal shore.
Dreams of Meecawe's lovely wave
And of this kindred train,
On memory's tablets we'll engrave
Until we meet again.

Giving Spirits"

Some noteworthy admissions were
made by several speakers at the an,
nual Convention Of Spiritualists nelo
in London recently. The secretary
of the Union, in a speech OF meaiuH-
ship, warned his hearers that thete
were grave dangers attending Il
practice. Two city gentlemen VINO
also gave their testimony, admltte9
that a spirit had grossly deceived
them. BY several professional spirit
ualists it is freely admitted that lying
shirts may deceive even the elect"
The history of Spiritualism leaves no
doubt that these lying spirits nave
been very numerous. Then what can
he the value of communications from
the other side which are thus lmper-
lied? What guarantee has any one
that the truth is being told!
To certain people there ls a great
fascination in the idea of communi.
eating directly with the beyond"
Ant what information has ever
reached US from the other side that Is
really Trustworthy, or of any practl,
cal use? From an intellectual and
eyidential point of view, there Is
nothing less satisfactory than the re-
suits of Spiritualism. On the other
hand, according to S~piritualists them
selves, there are grave dangers al
tending the medium.
The Bible, in forbidding medium
ship is our friend. God doe not wlsn
His children to be at the disposal OF
lying spirits. He has told us all tna'
it is necessary to know in this HE,
and If men refuse that word, they VIII
not be persuaded though n rose
from the dead.-London CHRISTIAN.

Over Blouse or Jumper.

Each new variation Of the over
blouse seems a bit more attractive
than the last, and each one is certain
to find a place in the wardrobe. This
one is novel in many Of its features
and is graceful and becoming, yet
by no means extreme. The modified
kimono sleeves give breadth, while
they are shapely and becoming, and
the tucks are so arranged as to give
the best possible lines to the figure.
AS illustrated, the material is pongee
in a very beautiful shade OF anne
thyst, while the trimming Is velvet
and embroidery worked onto the ma
terial. The over blouse, however, is
appropriate for both the separate
waist and for the gown, and for
almost every material used for gar
ments of the sort. Everything fash
ionable Is thin and soft and conse-
quently- all can be tucked with sue
cess. Trimming always can be
varied to suit individual taste, and
the necessities of the special occa-
sion. Velvet is being extensively
used and always is handsome, but
appliques are offered by the score,
and soutache applique is n Of the
newest and best liked Of all trim
mings. In place of the embroidery

The Domestic Hen a Wonder.

Scratching a living here and theSe,
killing thousands Of bugs and worms,
which would cause much loss Of crops
If allowed to live, the ordinary barn
yard hen is a wonderful combination
of productive forces. In five years
time she will lay 700 eggs, each con-
tanning $50 grains Of water, 1875 Of
fat, 10S of lime, so of albumen, &c
of sugar and 10 Of ash-the most
condensed and Strengthening form Of
food offered to man. Every person
having a little plot of ground is able
to keep frGH half a dozen to many
dozen of these wonders and so add to
the family income. To do this to the
greatest advantage, one must know
how to care for his fowls-to guard
against, detect and cure disease;
which fowls to save for breeding pur-
poses, etc. The simplest and most
satisfactory way Of securing this
knowledge is to buy it from some
person who has made a success Of
fowl raising as a business. Such a
book, giving the experience Of twen-
ty-five years, is obtainable for rs
cents in stamps from the Book Pub
fishing House, 134 Leonard St., New
York City. 1t is an invaluable work.

The Short.LiVed Dog

Surely it is by ar unfortunate dis
~pensation of nature that the dog,
beyond all question the chief friend
of man among the other animals,
should have a normal length of life
which is no more, on a fair computa-
ton, than o~ne-seventh of his own.
There is no other figure which eX-
presses the relative ages Of man and
his dog so well. The puppy of one
year is about at the same canine age
as the child of seven. At two years
be is probably a little more advanced
than a fourteen-year-old boy, but the
canine age of three is very nearly
equivalent to the human twenty-one.
And so it continues through all the
years of canine and of human prime
respectively, the ratio fairly well
preserved. 1t has to be admitted
that the old age Of the dog, thus
computed, outlasts the old age of the
man. One hears stories which seem
to be fairly authentic Of dogs living
I'D to eighteen, and If we do hear
stories of human beings living SINH
larly up to 1875, at least we do not
believe them. But such an age for
a dog is quite the extreme limit. The
dog Of ten years approaches the
equivalent of the three score and ten
which had been named as the fair
end of the human creatures tether,
and on the whole the multiplication
of canine years by ven all through
the stages of life gives the CORE
spending age of mar better than any
other figure given it.-Westminster
Gazette.

usually there was set a tiny sundial.

holding the dial so that the sun
strikes it, and a tiny shadow will tell
