A SUGGESTION.

Coming up the Berkshire division of the N. H. & H. R, R, the traveller who longs for strong waters now finds him. self in the predicament of the southern governor. For 1t is a long way between wet stations, and as he leaves the little hamlet of West Cornwall he murmers to himself "Oh, how dry 1 was!"
 Some of the people who live down there between the mountains where the sweet waters of the Hcusatonic flow abundantly, wish that he might be dry still.

 The postoffice department has issued | stringent orders to all postmasters not to divulge the name or address of any of the patrons of their offices. Post
 offices heretofore have been considered local directories, bureaus of information and headquarters for all sorts or neigh. borly gossip. If 8 person wanted an address or list of names it was under stood that the postmasters were in duty bound to supply the information. The new order changes the complexion Of such matters and the guardians of Uncle Sam's postal affairs are requested to keep the business of their office as in violate as the business of 8 bank. l There is no way of telling which way the public fancy will turn or when it will turn. A few months ago makers of black and white souvenir cards viewed with alarm the advent of the colored card and up to the present time it has appeared as if there was reason for this alarm. But the tide of public prefer ence is turning. O. H. Eggleston, who probably handles more souvenir post cards than any other one Sharon con- cern, informs us that his customers, principally the city people, are buying the black and white cards in preference to those printed in oolors. The usual objection raised is the that the colored card is rarely true to nature in the col bring and has taken on too much of the aspect of a cheap chromo. And, unfor- tunately, this is only too true. No doubt the dealers will welcome the return to vogue of the black and white card inas- much as at the present time where there is one satified retailer, with the methods employed by the colored card concerns, there seem to be five dissatisfied ones.

Last week we briefly referred to the fact that the annual meeting of the Hotchkiss Library Association was held at the home of Dr. Knight. According to the report of the librarian, Mrs. Ryan, there are, at present nearly 5200 volumes in the library, 278 having been added during the year. Treasurer Willard Bakers report showed that there is in the treasury of the Association $389. 56. Other reports mentioned the installation of a furnace during the year just closed also ~the fact that the library has re- ceived number of gifts in the form of cash, statues, mounted birds etc. from friends of the institution. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted R. s. Prindle, vice-president; E. F. | Gillette, secretary and treasurer. As @ book committee, the following were selected: Miss R. s. Prindle, F. w Dakin, Mrs Ryan. Dr. Bassett, G. L. Smith. The following will serve as the execu- tive committe: Mss Wheeler, Miss Prindle, Frank Dakin, Lawrence Van 1 Alstyne. The condition of the library is very satisfactory and there is ample evidence of. the fact that it is an institution which Sharonites and the city people appreciate very much.
 Those who attended the Methodist church were most abundantly re- paid for all it cost of resolution and ef- fort on account of the discomfort of the weather, by hearinga remarkably able, and intensely interesting address by James M. DeGarmo, Ph. D. of Fishkill- on the Hudson. By request of the pastor, between whom and Dr. De Gar mo, then exists a very intimate and tender friendship, he spoke on, "Why we Believe in the Immortality of the Soul" His range of thought was wide and deep and his arguments were logi- cal, clear and convincing; while he gathered abundant and telling illustra. tions from the corporate faith" of uni, versal humanity from the savage dwarfs of Central Africa, and the barbarous Tasmania, on up through the ever un. folding mind of philosophers, schoolmen and theologians, to the great poets oi our modern times, those clear visioned prophets of internal truth, who, stand
 ing on the high look-outs of faith, re
 ceived the first and faintest intimations of the coming of immortal doom. Dr

MANY POSSIBILITIES
FOR THE WOMAN WHO
IS SELF-SUPPORTING
Every One Must Have Some
Special Gift in Order to
Win Success.

There are SO many women at the
present time who are forced by circun-
stances to find some means of self sup
port that any new suggestion as to
Enthusiastically.
The story of a woman in one of tho
large cities seems to show hat every
one must AVE some special gift. be it
sewing. housekeeping, cleaning or bust
ness, and every one should seek her
especial talent until she finds it. This
rule should really hold good. even IL
money is not a necessity. for a talent
may always be turned to the aid OF
another or others. as the case may be.
The particular woman OF the story
was left a widow and penniless, with q
rooted objection to d~ressmaking and
most other forms of employment by
which the average woman seeks to earn
her living. Finally she decided that,
although her hands were long and slen-
der and her fingers of the most artistic
type. she could do nothing but handle
fine ace and frills. and she therefore
sought and obtained some delicate
fabrics to clean and press. For two
years she supported herself by this
work, although not entirely to her own
satisfaction.
Found Her Talent.
One day she happened to pass n storo
where glass and other fragile works OF
art We're sold, and her artistic tempera-
ment caused her to enter to more closes
ly examine the beauties displayed In
showcase and on the counter. Once
there her long. fine hands strayed to-
ward the bits of marble. until the man
ager Of the store saw her and APP
preached to ask her to read the u
sign forbidding visitors to handle the
pieces. But as he watched her he
changed his mind and, instead re-
marked on her lightness OF touch. and
asked her If she would enter his en-
ployment.
She replied hat she could not take a
saleswoman's position, but added that
handling the fragile works of art was
a pleasure. To which he answered.:
That is all I want you to do; keen
them clean. So she accepted the offer.
and for IL years she has tended to and
kept the stock in good condition.
Later. 1t occurred to her that She
might also take care of private COL
iections or of those relics too precious
to trust to ordinary care.
Her business grew and grew. and
now she has all she IAN handle. for
although some collections are not WIS.,
TIED but once in two years. others need
monthly attention.
Thus. the casual visit paid to a store
started this plucky little woman on her
life work, and her story suggests many
possibilities for others too delicate for
heavy work, yet gifted in one par
.icIlar way.
