IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

The path of life is narrow ridge between two insanities.
 Living a sane, normal, healthy life is like walking the tightrope.
 When he looks over to one side a man sees chasms, sickening depths, the terrifying unknown. On the other side is the same
 It is a very proper expression we use when we say of a man that he is unbalanced" Sanity Is simply equil- ibrium
 How few people can gaze squarely into the emptiness of Death that vast bottomless pit, and not feel panic! AS few as they who can climb peaks, steeples, and masts, and keep their head.
 How few people can regard God, the overpowering infinite, and not clutch at some idol, as a man falling down precipice grasps at root and vines We must, for our weakness, replace the dazzling mystery of God by some little, comfortable, painted superstition. A bit of hocus- -pocus, a sign, formu- la, a venerable and empty symbol anything is better than the shattering 1 reality! We cherish our petty artifi- cial certainties our plaster credences l because we cannot understand how 1 the truest of all truths may be an Uncertainty. No; that way madness l lies, except for a few
 Let us pray for Head, for boise, for ] the sound stomach, and solid brain and strong pounding heart, so that we

WORK TABLES.

Study to get your work tables and sinks just the right height. They will, of course, differ according to the height of the worker.
 Too high a table causes a constant strain upon the arms and shoulders. Too low one causes stopping and a tired back
 Being a medium tall person, my favorite table is 32 1-2 inches high. On this l can roll out pastry and do sim liar work without stopping, and in con- sequence get much less tired than when my work is lower down.
 About an inch lower is my favorite height for an ironing board.
 A low stove is wearying if it must be used much every day. And wash ing can be done much easier if high CT bench than common is used for the rubbing tub.
 The easiest way to discover the ex- act height best suited to yourself is to place blocks of wood on your ordinary table to support board until you have found which is less fatiguing.
 Any woman who neglects to rectify this matter is extremely foolish if she values her own health, for many a woman Is nervous and unhappy after Q day in her kitchen without knowing the cause.
 And the causes are, too frequently the table, ironing stand an dcook stove of her daily tasks.

BRIDESMAIDS. usHERs.


 The wedding procession is more bril- liant where there are number of bridesmaids. They add, however to the expense of the occasion, since the bride is now expected 10 make them each a present. This is usually some thing to be worn at the wedding-a pair of hatpins, fan, or some small article of jewelry.
 The bride invites them also to a luncheon, dinner, or festivity of some sort not long before the day of the ceremony. The gifts intended for them may be set at each plate, like favors, in small packages neatly tide up with white ribbon.
 Sometimes the bridegroom and ush- CTS are also asked to the dinner. This seems to us a much better plan than the giving of a bachelor dinner.
 The best man is usually the groom's brother or most intimate friend. The ushers are chosen from the circle of his near relatives and closest friends, with the addition of one or more of the brides brothers or other relatives.
 In the same way, a sister of the groom is included among the brides maids. They provide their own cos tunes, but the bride decides what these shall be. She should be careful avoid choosing gowns and hats more expensive than her young friends can afford. If there is a maid of hon or she wears a costume differing somewhat from those of the brides maids. She is always either the sis ter or the most intimate friend of the bride. Often, however, there is no maid of honor, the first bridesmaid acting as the brides special attendant.
 Tar vvatS. ,I-1 {. depend on the size of the wedding. Six are usually sufficient. It balances the bridal cortege well and also gives the bridesmaids pleasanter time if there is one usher to correspond to each of the latter.

DEVELOPING PERIOD AT YALE.

The defeat of Yale on the Thames this year was expected. Had the re- suit been otherwise there would have been great surprise. Harvard had the experienced crew and stroke, but it must be conceded that Yale put up d good race. It marked the first year of new stroke at Yale, the develop ment of which under Bob Cook has great promise There is no reason why Yale cannot regain its former enviable supremacy and a full year under the veteran trainer should make it possi- ble to determine next June whether the modified English stroke is the one to do the trick.
 While the stroke is an important feature of rowing, yet the question of teacher has been found to be the vital one. Development along g particular line of instruction is what is needed to obtain perfection and the winners have proven it. A year OF two more and Cook is likely to be doing for Yale what Courtney is for 1 Cornell and Wray for Harvard. They have been emihehtiy successful in teaching their crews to row good stroke and dc it well. Therein lies the problem before Cook, How long it will take depends upon the teacher and ths material given hiH, It will take another year before judgment easi be passed upon his work with any bfe= priety. It is to be hoped that it will ] at Least make the races close enough t6 be exciting. and not mere processions,

RRorHERLY INTEREST.

Not all of the young men who go to college are rich mems sons, but they secure the start there which places them on the road to success, when suc- cess is measure by wealth. This does not result to each and every one. but the college men are found to hold the best positions in the country and nat urally wealth is accumulated. How true this is can be noticed from the gifts which are continually being made to the universities and colleges throughout the country The alumni and friends of every big institution of learning represent vast amounts of wealth. It was only this month that the class of 1902 at Harvard, only ten years out of the university, made a class gift of S20O,OO0, while for the year the sum total was $1,S65, 900. Yale received a large amount in gifts dur ing the year. while the gift to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology of S2,50O,O0O was the leader.
 These gifts are all for most com mendable work and this is particularly true or LuO5e uduo lO DTOWnI where the announcement of the raising of the S1,000,O00 endowment fund has just been made Wesleyan college is mak ing a hard fight for that same goal with promise of reaching 1t within the month. Nothing is more praiseworthy than such work for educational pur- poses and gratifying is the generous hi frh A1a aIe1 5Iya Those who have benefited are thus manifesting their interest in main taining the good work and helping others through the fruits of their good fortune.

NEED EARLY TRAIN.

For many years and probably since the road was opened, there has been an early morning train over the pres ent Central Vermont road, which, ac- cordine to the new schedule going into effect today. has been taken off, and there is now no way of getting north along the line of the railroad until nine o'clock This is naturally bring ing forth much protest all along the line. It is an embarrassing situation for the business houses which have been doing business over that line for years and years, and getting the ben eft of the early train. to be obliged 10 walt four hours for the carrying of their representatives and mail. Whole ssiers who have used that early train extensively for express matter likewise suffer from the handicap. The serious delay fla the arrival and despatch of mali iH an important item which not only affects all the stops above here but it dslays the arrival of the first mali here in the morning over q hah-hour, making the box and carrier delivery for the entire city just that much later, while north of here if will be four hours late.

rAkE THE oppoRTvNlrY.-

Tt is my belief says Dr. P. P. ClaXtpn, the United States commits soner of education, that some meaps should be devised by which every child may have the advantages et the high school" This Is a question which stirred the town of Norwich for a number of years, but it was solved by @ decision which supports the con- tentien of Dr, Claxton, and all Nor wlch pupils are entitled to four years course at the Academy, which takes the place of high school here in an admirable manner
 This is tho time of year when many young people are trying to reach their decision as to whether they will cor tinue their education beyond the gram mar school. Different reasons cause the hesitancy in different cases, finances, need of help at home and in difference are perhaps the leading causes. In completing the grammar school course. the many pupils are well prepared as far as that education goes. but even if it is necessary to make a great sacrifice the high school or academy should be entered for q continuation of the building of an edu- cation the foundation of which has been so well laid The young people of today. by action of the town. are given the benefit of the advantages which in the past was so eagerly sought at great sacrifice in many cases. Work comes quick enough after the high school, but the qualification for better work and a better future lies in the pursuance of such q course. It not only means a betterment for the individual, but for the community. and an endowment which will never come amiss. The op- portunity comes but once in a lifetime.

CIRCULATION
HE INEVITABLE RESULT

The republican national convention at Chicago ended, as forecasted for several days previous. in the renomi- nation of William H. Taft for presi- dent of the United States. This selec- rion appeals to the thinking people and those who have the welfare of the country at heart as the wisest and only course to pursue. It marks the close of one of the history making cam paigns and one in which the prophecy of Lincoln, made in 1887, came true, and his advice was followed. It was at Springfield, H., that Lincoln said: -Is it unreasonable to suspect that some men possessed of the loftiest genius. coupled with the ambition to push it to it's utmost stretch, will at some time spring up amongst us2 And when one does it win require the peo- pie to be attached to the government and hws and generally intelligent to frustrate his designs"
 Marking one of the bitterest of cam paigns and conventions. the nomination lay between the two leaders. President Taft made the fight and won the con- test. be being the only one to whom the nomination could logically go in the support of the party principles which he stands and fought for. He was fought by all manner of under handed methods and assault. but the opposition leader was unable to con- trol his forces in the depths of radi- cslism to which some were willing to go. Not only wise but welcome is the selection of President Taft. His ad- ministration shows him tO be far sighted. prudent executive. in whose hands the reins of government are safe. Ills accomplishments show him to be committed to progress siveness by sane action but not by rash displsy of radicalism. This con- trast has never been better illustrated than by the action of the contestants during the convention period. Presi- dent naft did not disgrace his can- didacy by appearing at Chicago and attempting to drive the delegates, but how Intellectually his opponent. stune 70 the quick by his impending defeat endearoned to stem the tide against him. was evidenced by the eharaeteris. tic display oG the demagogue and tho dictator.

BRIDAL LORE.

To tie white ribbon on a brides trunk insures happiness.
 It is very unlucky ta begin the we'd ding gown before the day is named.
 It is considered lucky for the bride to have her veil torn on her wedding day.
 It means good luck for the newly married pair to keep the route of their wedding journey a secret
 A yellow garter knit by friend and presented as a surprise and worn upon the left knee at Easter will insure a wedding within a year.
 If bride wears upon her wedding day some article which her mother wore at her own wedding she will be insured many years of married life.
 If a matron or widow holds the we'd ding dress of a friend in her lap for five minutes she will be married before the year is out. Should she make a wish while holding the gown it is sure to come true.

TO CLEAN LEATHER.

The handbag or satchel of undressed kid, when soiled by usage, need not be turned over to the professional cleaner. The secret of restoration is a piece of sandpaper rubbed over the surface A very fine grade of sandpaper is re- quired. When this is used with care the effect is magical and no injury to the material accrues. Many kinds of feathers without polished surfaces--for example, suede, undressed and ooze calfskin-can be cleaned thus.

A small bathroom will display every inch to advantage by being treated in the following way:
 Paint the baseboards and side walls light gray up to the height of four feet, and finish by a wooden molding painted the same color
 Paint the ceiling light blue. Paper the side walls above the molding. A blue paper with design of upward flights of swallows suggests height, and with good perspective the effect is no- tieeably light and free.

PROTECT THE EDGE.

Many careful housekeepers bind the tops of their blankets with a strip of muslin or cheesecloth to prevent the wear and tear that comes harder on the ends of the blanket than in the middle. It is a good plan to do the same with con1fortables, using on those covered with sateen a band of the same material in a color that har- monlzes with that of the comfortable. Ii is easier to renew 6 band of sateen on the whole covering. as would be necessary were not band used. A com- fertabie may last great many years without recovering if the edge is thus tnpa+ Af.f ed

TO CLEAN WHITE PAINT.

The secret of cleaning white paint is to divide the work between two people, one of whom undertakes the washing of the wood and the other the polish ing. Soapsuds and warm water, which are the best for enamel, should be ap- piled with piece of flannel, while a clean duster and a piece of old linen are ready to dry and polish the wood immediately the flannel has done it's work
