Work Mother Of JOY

Work is the mother of joy. To find a
task, making something useful, is the
art of life.
Work is the mother of truth. You
a not learn anything by studying
about it from a book so we'll as by driv-
ing away at it in some way or another;
whether it be botany, languages, a
building. house painting or philosophy
theolog, and politics.
Doubt is begotten by idleness. All
theory and no practice make butter fin
gers.
This was Carlyle's gospel and a good
one Find thy task-and in Gods
name-produce! Produce, if only the
smallest fraction!'
And then try to make others happy.
II care not what may be your peculiar
religion, y said Stevenson, but if it
consists in %tormenting yourself and 9TH
ers, ! will not say drop it, for it may
be all you have, but at least conceal It
lest you injure worthier and better
folk. Exchange.

The Key to Happiness

Just help someone, give a cheerful
smile to a lonely boy, a word of praise
to a sensitive, ~self-doubting worker, a
bit of ~forbearance to your wife, aud of
kindly interest and attention to your
children. Forget, if you can, how poor
you are, how uujustly treated, how
lonesome; how %wronged; forget it and
do a little sowing of cheer ane good ma
ture in the soil right where you are
standing; do this and the first thing
you know Happiness, the willful jade,
will steal up behind you and have her
arms about your neck.
1t is pathetic, this world. There is
not a discontinued woman nor a disillu-
stoned man, nor a worried. fretted spir-
it, nor a lonely, wretched life but stands
right on the edge of joy and content
ment. They face a door and have no
key. They perish of thirst by an un-
guessed river. They long for love
among hearts aching to love them.
And alas, they will probably not take
this key l offer them, because it is
simple, plain common sense, and is not
a n~ewfangled religion, nor some raging
tad, o apqy sort of hocuspocus. Sc

The Bad Boy

Never a boy born who was who'll
ly bad. Boys sometimes get the repu-
tation for being bad, who are only mis-
chievous, and SO full of the joy Of liv-
ing that they are continually getting
into trouble. Club that sort of boy and
you make him bad; go why use a club
to make a boy bad?
There is a way to reach every So
called bad boy in the world and make
him realize that you do not think he is
a bad boy, and once he gets this idea in
his head, he ceases to be bad. He prob
ably continues to be somewhat mis-
%chievous, but he quits being bad. A
boy is v a hypocrite, and the writer
always feels like taking his hat off to
every boy he meets, simply because
that boy is just the way the good Lord
made him, without any frills or artiti-
cial adornment. Selected.

THE SUMMER CAPITAL.

The people of New Hampshire natur.
ally will be pleased at the report that
the nations summer capital is to be To-
Gated in the town of Cornish on the
Connecticut river; and the people of
Vermont will share in the pleasurable
feeling to great extent, because the
Winston Churchill home, which is said
to have been selected, is almost in Ver-
mont, being located on a commanding
eminence on the New Hampshire side of
the river and facing toward the green
hills of Vermont about the town of
Windsor. The inspiration of the beau
tiful Vermont hills and mountains will
be President Wilson's, although his i'm
mediate surroundings will be in New
Hampshire. Therefore, Vermont feels
almost as jubilant as her neighboring
state over the report that the president
has decided to come here, especially since
the announcement is entirely unex-
pected, as it was thought that the choice
would fall upon some place further to
the southwark.

Battle Without Ceasing.

In the Health and Horsepower de-
partment Of the April American Maya
zine DR.. Woods Hutchinson gives lot
LOT good advice on number of subjects
having to do with care of the health.
Following is a part of what he has to
say about bathing:
Our human skin is the most beauti-
fully self-cleansng fabric in the world
The masterpiece of natures process
of self cleaning is delicate oily sub
stance which bubbles up with the per-
spirstion and is deposited in a thin lay
er over the surface of the skin. Thi,
serves to keep the skin supple and pro-
tect it from cracking or drying. Unfor-
tunately it serves to some degree as a
sort of fly paper to catch dirt and dust.
and in order to get rid of this greasy
mixture we are apt to use strong soaps
or other alkalies, which work by their
power of dissolving fat. Thus, while
we get rid of the dirt, we rob the skin
of its natural protective cream, far SUI
perior TO any variety of artificial mas
sage cream or ski: food ever invented.
no matter how srtistically advertised.
The same denuding effects may be pro-
duced by the use OF too hot water, too
vigorous serubbing with mitts, brushes
or other skin torturers. or by bathing
in hard or muddy water.
The daily bath should be taken cool
enough to avoid dissolving too much OF
this natural skin cream, as well as to
give a pleasant brace and sense of ex-
hilsration. Soap should be used spar
ingly upon the general surface of the
body for the same reason. Indeed it,
application should be largely limited TO
the hands, face, feet, armpits. etc. II
The water is very hard, the addition TO
the bath Of a wineglassful of common
Vinegar will greatly relieve its irritating
fleet upon the skin. and for those OF
sensitive skins without much fat LAYER
Inder them. in cold, raw, windy weather, /
md particularly in the first snap Of Sc
rere winter, it i well to omit the morn 1
ng bath on alternate days until the 1
kin has adjusted itself to the new

The Railroad Situation.

The unreasoning panic of Boston and
/ Maine and New Haven stockholders last
week seems to have ended and some
slight recovery in the price of the stock
| is noted. At the present price sharehold-
ers, who sell are apparently exercising
| little judgment, OF course these two
stocks have been overvalued. Boston
and Maine is in the position of manu-
faeturer, who goes on year after year
paying good dividends but failing to
modernize his plant and making no
charge for depreciation. On paper his
business looks very well. Then some
day he wants to sell, and he finds that in
the light OF market values he must in
vest new capital or borrow money in
order to renew his plant. His paper as
sets then drop to their real value.
The Boston and Maine is loaded with
lot of back country railroads, more or
less improbable and in need of rebuild
ing. Much has already been done under
the New Haven control and by the use
OF the New Haven credit. and in few
years the road will be on sounder basis
than it ever was before. Its eapitaliza-
ton is not high for the mileage. and its
great manufacturing cities and summer
resort business constitute a valuable
franchise.
Ii the movement for state ownership
of the Boston and Maine ever had any
strength. il can not hold il under pres
snt conditions. Public ownership advo-
Gates would like the returns Of a pros
porous road. but they will of course feel
that the bills of a non-dividend paying

The Helping Hand.

Sympathy for the food sufferers hs.
made the whole world kin. The will
and the resolution to help, even when
it involves sacrifice, is general in the
community. And in many cases =
means deprivation TO the giver, who
is often anonymous, doing good by
stealth. A widow in small town in
Massachusetts sending her mite for the
relief of the unfortunate writes: Gust
one year ago, when the iii fated Titanic
deprived me of my all, the Red Cross
society lost not moment in coming
to my aid"
Into the office of this society during
the last three days have filed the anony-
nous wage earners with their contrbu-
tions; these in many cases were part
Of their means of support that could
i'll be spared, soiled and worn bills and
silver pieces laid down with unspoken
sympathy by men and women and chill
dren, too, who wanted nothing said
about it and turned and went out to
face the struggle for existence again.
These people did not think twice
about whether they should help those in
greater necessity than their own. They
had been helping one another all their
lives, and it seemed not so much duty
as natural thing to do to respond to
the call from the West, where people
had lost their lives and Others were
homeless and suffering.
The spirit of helpfulness is so much
abroad and so active and unseltish in
New York today among people of all
that the brotherhood OF man
ceases to be a mere phrase OF the ideal
lists. 1t is good thing for everybody.
Sympathy is great teacher in time
like this. The man of position and
wealth sees the working folk anony-
mously giving TO the relief fund and
depriving themselves of necessities in
the giving; and there can be no envy
in the heart of poor man when he
sees how liberal are the gifts of those
whom he has not always been disposed

ows in distress, and he begins to think
hat the man of means may also deny
himself something when he signs check |
% help in the common cause.
The reciprocity makes for a better |
ceiling among men and for greater char |

inns of an act of God has subsidized. /

CURRENT COMMENT
Good for Barre and Rutland

The Barre Times says: Just as in the
case of Barre, the people OF Rutland, who
ought TO be interested in the erection OF
a Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium are too busy"
to engage in the work, an effort to raise
the needed money having failed recently.
If Barre had public gymnasium, wheth-
err under Y. NJ. C. A. auspices or not,
there would be less cause for complaint
or careless action by boys and young
men on the streets and in the public
buildings of the city" That's fact. An
institution of some kind for boys and
young men is one OF the greatest needs
of Barre and Rutland and any other live
growing city.-Rutland News.

The New York police arrested a poor
old human derelict on the charge OF
sending bomb which killed woman,
and under the third degree" the old
man was alleged to have confessed"
Several weeks later, a fortuitous circum-
stance brought another man into the
hands of the police, the man having
been blown up while experimenting in
bomb manufacture. This latter man,
on his deathbed Saturday, confessed not
only to sending the bomb which killed
the woman in the former case, but also
to sending two other bombs to persons
in New York, which crimes were laid
to the human derelict in the former
arrest. Meanwhile old man Farrell, the

Sugar Naples Gone DRY in Vermont.


The a,armists always take the oeca-
sion OF an unusual season to erect ire
mendous visions of various kinds, invit-
ing the world to mourn over the calam-
itous outlook. This tendency of the pro-
fessional Jeremiahs has resulted in a
corresponding indifference in the public
mind, as was the case when the boy cried
Wolff" too often. But once in while
the wolf comes in his proper person and
occasionally the warning is of an actual
danger.
The present news from Bellows Falls.
VT, is OF this kind. They say that the
maple sugar crop is in danger, in fact,
that there will not be any maple sugar
crop. The lack OF sharp frosts has dis
couraged the sap and three days of
warm rain has apparently dried it up
entirely. To all intents and purposes
there viii be no maple sugar made this
year.
Not that there will be any falling off
in the stocks of maple sugar displayed
by the grocers and the keepers of candy
shops. But the dreary compound of
brown sugar and pulverized dead autumn
leaves will be present in the usual guam
titles, although at an advanced price
because the maple sugar crop has been
a practical failure
The old, old stories will be told again

ladies "old friends OF uurs," who rob
their own pantries to supply the grocers
with the pure sugar" mot like most of

that he will not learn nit to consume |

high price and continue to buy imitation
maple sugar in defiance of bad season

But there is yet time. We shall hear
IN day or two that little real maple
sugar has been made by fortunate farm

faces and the maple sugar. substitutes
