REsTFuL TO EYES AND NERVES.
Green Is One Of Natures Cures for
Worry ard Fatigue.

'If the whole of .ondon We're
painted green it would have wonder
full effect upon the health and spirits
f us Lcndoners.7 said one of the lead
ing specialists to Mirror writer.
"Eyesight and health are most closely
connected. and among town dwelers
evesight is steadily deterior ting.
Green is one of natures cures for
worry and fatigue w; tch man who
is worrying or tired out and see how
often he will wander to a window
from which he can gaze on a tree in
leaf. Instinctively his eyes seek the
restful green Of the foliage. A great
deal of the good obtained from a visit
to the country is from the incessant
environment of the green fields and
green leaves.
"A green room, too, IS a splendid
thing. | know of a case of i popular
actress who could never understand
why it was that in certain room in
her house she could alive rest so
much better than in any other one.
She mentioned the fact to me one day,
and pointed out to her that the paper
AM furniture were entirely green"

Simple Bunch of VioIets.

The impractical attitude of many
worthy persons who have an honest
endeavor to help what they are
pleased to call the "down-trodden
working girl" is matter that inter
ests many others who sit by and
watch. Not very long ago a woman
who is old enough to know better gave
a talk to girls, none of whose Salaries
exceed seven dollars a week, on The
Beauty of Life and How 1t Might Be
Obtained Cheap perfumes she found
to be prevalent, she declared. and
deprecated their use with reason.
Then she spoke of one specific in
stance, where a room she entered was
scented with josh sticks. which every
girl knows costs about five cents a
package.
1T was most unpleasant odor so
cheap and crude, she declared. Now
instead of that why not have one sim

Tranninn Mosquitoes.

Here is suggestion TO end the mos
quito pest in your house Try it, and
sec whai II is worth The following
is taken from a consular report pub
lished by Uncle Sam. The consul tells
OF the awful annoyances caused by the
mosquitoes in the suburbs of Calcutta
Life wasn't worth living there until
Mr. LEROY of the Indian chronological
department invented a mosquito trap
which appears to have solved the
problem The invention consists of
hos 2x9 inches fitted with hinged
lid provided with a small opening,
over which moves a sliding cover The
box is lin with dark green baize and
has tin floor. The trap is placed in
a shady corner Of the room and the
mosquitoes on entering the house in
the morning find the tray delightful
place in which to seclude themselves.
When the morning rush of mosquitoes
is over a teaspoonful of benzine is in
jected into the box, which promptly
kills the pests.

Unclaimed Bank Deposits.

Massachusetts treasury is likely to
come in for tidy sum of money under
d recent decision of the supreme court
of that state which holds that depos-
its in savings banks unclaimed for 80
years go to the commonwealth The
decision was rendered in a case
brought to test the title of 100000 of
deposits in the Provident Institution
for Savings left there for more than
thirty years. The court says that the
length of time that these deposits
have been in the bank without any ac-
ton by the depostors in regard to
them furnishes a strong presumption
that Willingly or unwillingly or ignor-
artly the depositors have permanently
abandoned them.

Leaders in The legislature think they
will be able to name the first day of
June as the date for adjournment. If
so there will be need for a hustling such
as has not been manifest in the past
weeks. There appears to be an unusu-
al accumulation Of work for this time
of the session, and the delay, to con-
siderable extent, may rightfully be
charged to the senatorial investigation,
which is still dragging along, conducted
by the senate committee What would
seem to be fitting climax to this ex-
pensive inquisition occurred on Thurs
day last, when a fellow claiming TO be
a Milwaukee detective, took the stand
and sw0re that he had seen one of SEN
ator Stepherson's campaign managers
pay $50. 000 to three democratic mem
bers q the legislature This the per-
iurer claimed transpired at the Plank
ington house in Milwaukee; that he saw
the transaction while peeping over a
transom hetween two rooms. Even af-
ter the witness and the committee WISH
ted the hotel aud learned positively mat
there was no transom opening in the
hotel the yillainous perjurer insisted
that bis story was true.

A GREAT COUNTRY AND NOBLE PART

A GREAT COUNTRY AND NOBLE PARTY
In coming back to the workers in the
field Of Journalism venerable J. w.
Taylor, editor Of the Lindon Conserva-
tive, presents some facts respecting
cur resOurcefuI country and the achieve
ments Of the republican party that are
worthy of consideration by thinking
people. For nearly fifty years, he
says, .'the republican party has been a
nation builder. And it has been an
eminently successful one judged by its
accomplishments. 1t found a country
rent in twin, poor in credit, halt-on
he Threshold Of the future. Today it
is country Of eighty-two millions of
people occupying the foremost place in
the worlds galaxy of nations. 1t has a
total wealth Of $lO6, 600, 600, 00O-more
than twice that Of the United Kingdom,
more than three times that of Germany.
1t has $40 600, COO 600 on deposits in the
banks and trust companies Of the coun-
try. Our farm lands approximate ST.
00O, 000, 600 in value and yearly produce
about IS, 900, 900, 600 of products. We
have 10000 miiec Of railway valued at
S13, 600, Goo 900 on which freight is
hauled much cheaper than in any other
country in the world, at .O069 of a cent
per ton a mile, at the same time paying
each average employe more wages per
day than is received by four railroad
employees working respectively in Italy,
Austria, Germany, France. Our manu-
featuring artisans earn 81, 735, 900, 900
yearly and manufacture more than one
third Of the world entire output. We
produce forty per cent of the steel pro-
duced in the world. 1t is here more
more than in any other land tt know
ledge is most generally diffused, and
religion has It's grandest c,.emplifica-
ton. And all this, in the major degree
repubHcanism has wrought. 1t is not
the work of radicaHsm. 1t is rot the
work Of the unjust and the stupid. 1t
is the work of the thiuke.s-of a sane
people acting s4nely, ard receiving,
very apparently, the DleSslng OF heaven.
To the maintetance Of its work, to its
extension along lines making for nation
al advancement the republican party
is committed. Thus It is that that party
is the business party De the country.
The plain people of the country realize
this and because they do three times
they have beaten Bryan this" times
have rejected radicalism.
The republican party is a human in
stitution 1t is only reasonable to adj
nit that it is married by human frailties;
but who If ne that believes in God
who on study and reflection will deny
that its achievements warrant the be-
lief that it has been party Divinely
guided? None, surelyI'
