1t has been said by some one who
Possesses consideral knowledge Of
human nature that if girls were to
spend more time at the wash tub
and not so much at the piano or in
attending matinecs there would be Il
less number of scandals in this coun-
try. There is more truth than poe
try in this statement. The girl who
has nothing else to do but to sit
around reading novels of doubtful
morality is certain to imbibe notions
which are not at all conducive to IA
true understanding of life and its
important duties. The mother who
thinks she is doing her daughter a
kindness by saving her from house
hold work will return to trouble
her i'm the future.
The healthy minded girl is the
girl who has a healthy body, and
being able to work the girl should
be set such tasks as will fit her for
the duties of wifehOOd, which should
be the chief aim of every girl. With
tired body the girl will remain
home at night instead of walking
the streets or attending entertain
ments where false view of life is
often gained. Labor is honorable,
and its reward is usually a contented
and virtuous life. e.-Ex.

The State Treasury is carrying
along on its books obligations
amounting to 500, 100 in the shape of
bonds issued in 1871, and never pre-
sented for payment. They matured
nearly forty years ago, at which
time the interest ceased, so that
there cannot be any object in any
one holding them. There are bonds
and certificates of still earlier date,
amounting to more than $50, 900 that
have never been paid. The State is
ready at any time to pay these Obli
saiions, and would be glad to do so,
~. there can never fbe an absolute
clearing up of the Commonwealth's
debt as long as they must appear on
the books unpaid. The probability
is that these bonds have been de-
stroyed or lost, and if ii is possible it
would be II good idea to clear them
of the record. That probably could
be done by an act of the legislature,
which should also provide for the
bonds should they turn up at any
time.

OF these surprise the department by

1t is estimated that not less than
5000, 900 pieces already have been

This estimate is made dy promi-

it is confirmed by the officials of the
department. In one case in New

has been cut down from an alleged

Massachusetts Press Association
cheerfully accepted the new rules,
but sent a letter protesting against
the precipitancy with which they

true also of some other publishers,

its circular announcing the changes
had been sent out well in advance,
and no further protest has heen re

time the banks which did not sus.

part of the money back again.
