Bennington particularly mourns the
death Of Bishop John S. Michaud, be-
cause he was better known here than
anywhere else. It was here that the
best years Of his active life were spent
before he was raised to the episcopacy
and since he has become bishop he
loved better to visit Bennington than
any other place in the state. Here is
raised his best monument-St Fran,
els de Sales church. one Of the half
dozen finest churches in Vermont as
well as one Of the most beautiful III
point of architecture. Bishop Mich
aud was not only the kind and loving
father Of the people Of his own church
but Of all people seeking to do right
and working for the welfare of all
Regardless OF creed and sect he loved
his neighbor better than himself was
interested in every good cause as
true citizen Of Vermont, and will be
deeply mourned by Catholic and Pro
testant alike, as a Christian leader
who sought the betterment of all man
kind,

Yesterday the Banner called atten-
ton to some of the faults and follies
of railroad management in general
and of the Central Vermont in partic-
ular. In this connection the Banner
will repeat something that it has said
before which is that the people on
the west side of Vermont should be
thankful every day that they live on
the line of the Rutland road and not
on the Central Vermont. The Rut-
land. as we all know, has faults
enough that might just as we'll be cor
rected as not, but It is in a different
class entirely from the Central Yer
mont. The Rutland road runs good
trains and they are usually on time
or nearly so, and its public service is
fairly efficient being easily the best
of any railroad in Vermont, while the
Central Vermont is probably the worst
A girl graduate of a correspondence
school could easily improve on the
management of the Central Vermont
and not interfere with her social du-
ties.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

If few drops of glycerin be added to the starch for linens it will be found that the iron will not stick and that the linens will have beautiful gloss after they are ironed
 Use clean brick to stand the iron on when ironing instead Of the usual ironing stand. It has no holes under meath to admit the air. and the irons will retain their heat much longer.
 New boots often do not take a good polish. They will do so if they are rubbed over with cut lemon before they are blacked. A cut raw potato may be used instead Of the lemon il the latter is not to be had.
 To make paper stick to metal use q strong solution of washing soda. While hot dip the metal in and when clean take it out and rub with a soft cloth Apply onion juice to the metal. press the paper smoothly over it. and it vii adhere like glue. and it will be almost impossible to separate the two.

The Value of Appreciation.

Has it ever struck you what sweet eper of life lies in few words of ap- preciation and encouragement: How few of us take the trouble to stop few minutes and praise servant Tor work we'll done or even pause to tell our nearest and dearest how we appre- ciate all the daily services which we have apparently never noticed.
 When our friends die we hasten to send beautiful flowers as last ap- preciation of our love for them. But would it not be letter if we had helped them by little praise when they were working or if we had cheered them In the dark days when they were troubled and suffering?
 Only a few words of appreciation. The cost is nothing. but the recompense is beyond price. Let the husband tell the wife how m1ch he prizes her love for him and tle wife tell her husband how truly sne recognizes all his care for her, and the mother should reveal in words how much she values her childrens affection, while the child who says to it's mother. .'Thank you for all your love to me-" has rewarded her far beyond knowledge or understand | ing

Woman as a whole is considered to have no sense of humor.
 In fact, her lack of appreciation Of a joke is a standard jest among the men folk.
 The real truth of the matter is that men don't want women to have a sense of humor. They are afraid e the woman who is very quick to see q joke.
 They feel that as she is so quick to ses the ridiculous side of things she will be equally quick to see the ridiculous side of them, and that no man car stand.
