During Goddard Spaulding
Game Last Night
IT WAS WON BY FORMER
High School Played PluckiIy Against 3
Heavier and Stronger Team and
Kept the Score Down to
is to 9.

Two fast and interesting basket ball
games took place in the Church street
gymnasium last evening between the
first and second teams Of Goddard semi.
nary and Spaulding high school, which
resulted in victory for each school
The Goddard first team won from the
Spaulding firsts By 4 score Of is to Q
and the Spaulding seconds won from
the Goddard seconds by score Of %
to Is.
The games were Witnessed by the larg-
csc crowd tsat has been packed into
tile gymnasium this winter, the seats on
the two sides Of the floor being filed
and good deal Of the floor space had
to be utilized to accommodate the over
flow. So much Of the aoor being taken
up made it bad for the players, as there
was not room enough to spread out and
do good passing. The crowd was made
up largely OF students from the two
schools, and more excitement and en-
thusiasm was displayed throughout both
games than has ever been seen at
basket ball game before in Barre.
The Spaulding first team played
splendid game against stronger and
heavier team, as is clearly evident from
the small score Goddard was able TO
make Berry was the only man on the
Goddard team TO make more than two
baskets in the game. he making three
from the floor Goddard passed better
and showed superior team work, but the
excellent work in covering and blocking
OF the whole SpanldinR team kept God
dard working hard and also from run
ming up larger score Arthur Ayerill
did especially good work for the high
school, making all their points on two
baskets from the door, and throwing
two fouls The game WAS clean and
free from any rough playing.
The game consisted Of two fifteen and
one ten-minute periods Heath started
the scoring for Goddard soon after the
whistle blew and Berry followed quickly
withanother basket from the floor A.
Averill then dropped the ball through
the hoop for Spaulding on nice shot
After several minutes OF fast playing.
Alexander scored basket for Goddard
and Spaulding Of Goddard threw a foul
Just before tic end of the period A
Ayeril shot another basket fof the high
school, the period ending with the score
Z to 4
m the second period, Buck, spaulding
and Berry each threw basket from
the floor for the seminary aud A. Ayerill
shot one foul, the period ending 10 to 5. |
Spaulding got one more point on a free
throw by A. AverilI III the last period, |
while Goddard made two baskets from
the floor by Buck and Berry, and Heath |
threw one foul

periods, the first period ending To |

ON THE INSIDE.
Absolute Cleanliness Rules In the
Manufacture of Crackers

Absolute Cleanliness Rules I'm the
Manufacture of Crackers
The editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, discussing the important
subject of clean groceries, takes its
readers right into the factory itself:
Here is one of the greatest food fac
tories in the world. All told, it covers
twenty-three acres of floor space.
Here, in the cellar, you will find the
flour. sacks piled upon sacks, seventy
two thousand of them, before your eyes
and all that -four intended for the
manufacture Of just one brand OF
crackers made by this firm.
Flour in a cellar! 'Ah,' you say, 1t
may mold
1T can't. That cellar would put
your kitchen floor to shame. 1t shines.
1t is dry as a bone. And for the further
protection of that -four, it is not al
lowed to rest on the cemented floor, but
is piled on great trays or shelves raised
several inches from the flooring, with Il
current of air between.
"Now they are ready to mix cracker
dough, and the great sacks of -four are
carried by elevators to the upper floor,
where sack after sack is turned into
what looks like q huge iron bath tub
On rollers When the required quantity
of -four is In this tub really a great
mixing pan, it is rolled under the most
wonderful spigots, through which fOw
three sorts of filtered water-boiling
hot, ice cold and the precise tempera-
ture of the city water. These are blend
ed by an equally wonderful thermOpl-
eter and barometer until they are al
exactly the right temperature. Then,
measured by meter, the water is turned
into the flour. The sponge tub is rolled
over to a mighty mixer, worked by ma
chinery, and here, for the first time, 4
human hand touches it. When the head
baker thinks his sponge is about right
ly mixed, he touches it. Like your
grandmother and mine, he says he can
Judge it's texture best by actual touch
And his hands are as clean as his uni
form. which is saying more than can be
said for the average housewife in the
average kitchen"

easter Day-Its origin.


1t is probable that Easter received its
name from the Saxon goddess Eastre,
whose festival was kept about the same
season each year as Easter.
In the ancient church the celebration of
Easter lasted eight days, but in later
times it was limited to two Or three days.
1t used to be a festival of pleasure as
we'll as time for generosity and the per-
forming of good deeds. Aims were given
to the needy, the sick were visited by the
rich and great, and often slaves were
freed and poor unfortunates suffering i'm
prisonment liberated. Services were held
during the whole week preceding Easter
Sunday, ON which day people greeted each
other with kisses, saying: "He is risen ~
the response always being He is risen,
indeed !" In the Greek church this Gus
tom is still observed.
The custom of exchanging eggs on
Easter-or during holy weeks a very
old one and symbolizes the resurrection
or renewed life.
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the full moon, which comes upon
or next after the Dist of March, which
date is the beginning of the old church
year. If the full moon comes on Sunday,
Easter day falls on the Sunday following.

Eastertide LuncheOns.

The decorations for Eastertide lunch
con tables are naturally the spring bios
SONS. A tall, slender crystal vase of
golden daffodils is a fitting ornament for
the table of honor. The best method of
arrangement for all but the long stemmed
daffies is the fiat or low centerpiece. One
woman, wondering how she could best
arrange the short stemmed crocus and
hyacinth, hit upon this original scheme !:
She filled a platter with sand mounded
up in the middle, in which she set small
bottles of water, covering the spaces be-
tween the bottles with moss. In each
bottle she placed a bunch of violets or a
crocus This made an admirable center
piece and one which mysti6ed her guests.

The Puffed Out Chest.

1.-The pulled out chest is a delusior
which has succumbed TO scientific
knowledge of the human body" said
drill officer. at came into existence
purely for show reasons or from false
analogy. It was seen that men deep
in the chest were strong men, and the
old drill sergeants probably imagined
that by making men throw out their
chests they would make them strong,
as we'll as make them look strong,
which is a complete mistake. Instead
of strengthening a man, putting his
chest tends to weaken him, as it throws
a strain upon the heart. We now tell
men to be sure and not puff out their
chests. If you puff out your chest and
do dumbbeli exercise you are to hold
the breath. That strains the heart
Any exercise that prevents breathing
freely IS bad Knotted muscles are
also wrong. You see a man with Inn
mense chest muscles and perhaps you
think he is really an ideally trained
man, but such muscles simply bind the
chest and tie the heart down. Read
er Magazine.

Irish Church Bells.

1t was about the time of st. Pat
rick, in the fifth century, that bells
began to be adopted in the Christian
church, though their use in other di-
rections was long anterior to Chris
tianity, as Mr.. Layard records having
found some in the palace of Nimroud.
The first Christian bells like Patrlck's
weighed only q few ounces and from
that day gradually increased till the
greatest weight was reached at Mos
COW with 1913 tons of beautifully en-
riched work, strange contrast to the
humble "Clog-an-eadbachta Patraic,"
or "bell of Patrick's WE'LL" sometimes
referred to as the bell of Armagh, with
its diminutive dimensions of six inches
high by five inches broad, four inches
deep, made of thin sheets of hammer
ed iron, bent into four sided form,
fastened with rivets and braZed or
bronzed. This bell is at once the most
authentic and the oldest Irish relic Of
Christian metal work that has de-
scended to us, writes w. ]. Fennell in
the Belfast Gazette, and is mentioned
in the Annals under the date OF 552.

the twentieth time since breakfast, and
''Auntie Murphy was just going to an
swer as she had before, Eyes, dearie,
pretty soOn," when there came a tramp
ing upon the rickety stairs, and, a mo-
ment later, knocking which fairly shook
the little door. Lily Bell and Mrs. Muir
ply looked at each other. Who could it
be? Visitors were not frequent in this
little garnet home, and Mr.. Doctor never
made such clatter.
''Oh, sir, are you sure there's no mis-
take?" was all the good woman could
say, as the stalwart young Irishman who
had walked into the center of the little
room, slid the great jar carefully from
his shoulder to the foor~
Nom" he replied, still breathless
from his long climb, mot if this is where
Miss Lily Bell lives"
"Ohi Oh it isn't for me -
Lily Bell had stretched out her hands
toward the beautiful white flower and
in her blue eyes shone happiness which
made the young man forget all about
those long fights of stairs. He made
the trip seven times, reappearing after
each journey with another Easter lily
which he placed in the little circle about
the bed so that the happy girl might lean
out and touch each one in almost Reverent
wonder. On his way down for the last
time he met another florists man on the
second landing and told him of Lily Bell
and the wonderful happiness which had
come to her on that Easter morn, and
offered to help him with his load.
The curious little crowd which had
gathered before the tenement shouted in
wonder when third wagon was drawn
up before the door and more great jars
were carried in, and when, at last, Mar
jorie and the doctor came driving up and
saw the many onlookers they were afraid
that the building must be on fire. The
girl carried a great bunch of violets which
she said were like the blue of Lily Bells
eyes, and the doctor some very mysteri-
Gus parcels, yet these were quite forgot
ten as they stood on the threshold of the
tiny room, not at all sure that they had
not wandered into fairyland.
ooh, those blessed boys" cried Mar
jorie, as she stopped to kiss the little
white face, and then she told them all.
When the tender body was released
from its iron frame, Lily Bell, though a
very different Lily Bell now, in the pref
ty white dress which Marjorie had
brought, fitted from flower to flower,
scarcely knowing whether to be most
happy in this strange new strength or the
pure white blossoms which she had want
ed so long that they. did not seem real to
her now. Suddenly she stood still among
the snowy beauties, for all the world like
some fragile flower herself
"Oh, l forgot! - she cried, while a
shade of sadness crossed her face.
Forgot! Lily Bell?" Marjorie was
beside her in an instant.
''Why, about poor old Granny Flynn
and Maggie Tod and Bobbie, that will
never be we'll again, and all the rest.
Oh, how could I?' the little girl cried
and then they read her unspoken thought
The newsboys came and carried the
flowers which Lily Bell sent into many
a poor home that Easter day, and some

happiness she had not forgotten those

Not tc know the history of Spain IS
not to know the history of America.
The discoveries of the early explorers
and colonizers are deeply imbedded in
the records of the Spanish empire ut
its mightiest period. The language they
brought to this hemisphere still pre-
walls through an area on this side of
the Atlantic almost four times that of
the United States. Our coast-line bris-
ties with Spanish names from Florida
to the Straits of Vancouver. Even to-
day in our own Southwest several hum
dred thousand of our citizens use the
Spanish tongue. The barrier of Ian
guage has been the great obstacle to a
better knowledge of and sympathy with
people and things of Spanish origin.
Only lately has the Spanish language
been included in our school courses.
Few Americans among the hosts of au-
nual tourists have been induced 10 see
Spain with their own eyes and know its
people.

Many statistics have been compiled
of the cost Of living in various parts
of the world, but they have mainly had
to do with bare necessities, and have
therefore been especially applicable to
comparisons of the condition OF the
working classes. An investigation deal
Ing with the cost of living for the mod
erately we'll to do has recently been
made by Paul Deschanel, on behalf OF
the budget committee of the French
Chamber of DEE tiles, and its conclu-
sions will have much interest for
Americans Of the class who feel that
their incomes are not up to their stand
ards Of living at home, and who conse-
quently seek foreign lands for sojourns
that often extend to many years. This
investigation had to do especially with
the necessary expenses Of French con-
suls. and the material used is said TO
be more than usually accurate. NJ.
Deschanel arranged six zones or rela-
tive dearneSs in living expenses His
own country, France, along with Ger
many and the Scandinavian countries,
he put in the second Of these, and esti-
mated that in them the maintenance Of
the consular standard of living would
cost about $3,4O0 year, allowing $500
for house rent, $1,000 for food, $500 for
servants, 5000 for clothes, $40 for
heat, light and laundry and $500 for
other items. Similar accommodations
could be secured, he estimated, in Bel
glum, Switzerland, Italy or Spain for
$3.50 a year; for $3,965 in Great Brit
ain. Holland, Austria, Greece and Tur-
key; for $4,530 in Russia Or Egypt
for SIS, 100 in Australasia, China or
Japan, and for 5000 in the United
States, Canada or South America.
These figures all, of course, have refer
ence to life in the larger cities. That
puts American expenses at just double
what similar expenses would be in Bel
GUM, Switzerland, or Italy. 1t gives
a good measure Of the attractivenesS
of the last two of these countries to
Americans who possess moderate
fixed income which they wish to make
the most Of.

Before Adjacent Structures Made II
Look Like Il Hole IN the Ground.

Before Adjacent Structures Made Il
Look Like II Hole an the Ground.
when l was a youngster," said a
middle-agad man TO a Sun .eporter, I
came down TO New York. got some
idea of the size of the city by riding
In the horse cars. By the way, 1t is
one of the few cities in the world
where you can still ride in horse cars.
Il visited most Of the show places
and went to al the theaters. l went
to Brooklyn by ferry. l devoted a day
to going to Harlem by the Sylvan Glen
or Sylvan Stream, or Sylvan something
on the East river.
But the thing that impressed me
most was the view from the steeple Of
Trinity church.
Away up there, where the lookout
holes were, l could look down on the
lower part of the city, could see the
river on either side, the upper bay and
the Brooklyn, and New Jersey shores.
AT that great height l discovered
that others had been there before me;
for on the timbers were cut the names
or initials of my predecessors. l had
a distinctive way of cutting my initials
In monogram, and this monogram orna-
mented the smooth trunks of various
birch trees in the woods of my native
region.
This l cut on a vacant space high
up in the steeple Of Trinity and then
looked at it and thought that daring
spirits of remote future generations
would climb to the same height and
perhaps see it among the other initials.
II have never been up in the steeple
of Trinity Church since that memoir
able ascent. But the other day | was
walking past the church and 1 saw
typewriter girls looking down on the
apex of Trinity spire from windows
that seemed to be several hundred feet
above it.
81 then thought of the monogram /
had carved on the inside OF the spire
and noted the location of the little
lookout windows from which l had
seen such a wondrous panorama forty
years ago.
L mad no mcmahon TO make Inc
interior ascent of the spire, but from
my position on the Broadway sidewalk
1 should say that if 1 had gone up
and looked out of the same little win
dows 1 could have seen at the farthest
about sixty feet, except in one direc-
ton, before the view was shut off by
walls of steel and, stone.
Perhaps adventurous climbers will
no more carve their initials up among
the timbers of Trinity's steeple. It
would involve less exertion to cut them
ON some beam in the cellar, from which
position the view would be almost as
extensive, and then to take an express
elevator and see how the apex of Trim
ity's spire looks from point few
hundred feet above it."
