The Art of Resting.
youth s Companion.)

To rest seems quite simple. There arc
plenty of people who do not have to learn
how at all, to whom resting comes with a
fine natural grace, as do the arts of eat
ing and sleeping These people are not all
oilers, either Perhaps the greatest work
ers of the world, at any rate those who
accomplish most, are the men and women
who can relax completely, even IN the
midst of vast affairs; who keep in their
hearts an unwrinllled corner of serenity;
who can snatch a moments sleep between
two great decisions, come out OF 1t re-
freshed and make their decisions right.
But to many of us hurrying, hustlmg,
nervous Americans resting is one OF the
lost arts We rush from work to so-called
recreation and from recreation back to
work again We say that mere change
rests us. So it would, if we took it in the
| right spirit; but there is no rest when the
| eve is on the clock, no rest when the hours
/ and the days are too short for the things
we undertake to do in them.

Two successful business men of Ne
braska, who are making an automobile
tour of eastern states, talked interest
ingly of their Impressions of affairs in
Vermont and New England when in
terviewed by a reporter of the Rutland
News. They expressed themselves as
astonished' at the prices charged III
this state for electricity for light and
power, and stated that in Lincoln,
where the price of anthracite coal is
twice as high as in New England, elcc-
tricity for the ordinary householder is
only about third of the average price
III Vermont. This statement ought tc
be Investigated. Vermont, with nu.
merous streams to provide electricity
10y water, certainly should furnish elcc
tricity for a lower cost than state,
which depend upon steam plants FOL

The Reformer has repeatedly called
attention to the reckless manner in
which automobiles are being driven
through tic streets of this and other
nearby towns. There are several speed
merchants who are we'll known who pay
no attention to the rights of others,
and it is only by good fortune that
they have escaped killing some one to
date. 1t is all right for these men
to endanger their own lives if they
wish to be foolhardy, but they have
no right to joopardizc the lives of 9th

RUGS NOT FOR MISS HUMBLE
Court Decision Likely to Cause Fair
Plaintiff TO Feel Like Living Up
to Her Name.

Sour wine, gayety, humility-such
might, perhaps, be designated as the
subject of the case reported in 143

vein. The last named was the cava-
lier and owner of fine collection OF
119 Indian blankets and rugs. In the
winter OF 1910 he met Miss Humble.
and thereupon became "Humbled,'
we might perhaps say, not in the or
binary sense Of degradation, but of
being held captive by the lady's
charms. He soon sought an engage
ment Of marriage and showed her his
collection of rugs, with the statement
that they were to be hers. She did
not at that time accept either the gift
of his person or property. A few
months later Mr.. Sauerwein died. En-
ter here Mr.. Gay as executor. After
the departure of Sauerwein ito that
bourne from which no traveller re
turns Miss Humble, perhaps to have
them as a keepsake, sought recovery
of the collection of rugs on the the
DRY that a valid gift of them had been
made to her. The supreme court OF
California, however, held that accord

of letters from the lovelorn Sauer
vein, the gift had never been com

ONLY ONE COMMON LANGUAGE
Music the Sole Medium That Tells a
Tale Ineligible to the Whole
of Mankind.

The nations of the earth, close as
they are together in these days. are
worlds apart in thought. Each builds
its life in words, and the words are
as little alike as in the days of Babel;
and thus it comes about that we mis-
understand one another.
We translate one another only into
our own language, and understand
one another as little as before, be-
cause we only know one another in
translations, and the best of the life
Of each nation remains and always
will remain untranslatable.
No one has ever really translated
tho Greek lyrics or the choruses of
Aeschylus or the incompatible songs
Of Heine. Who could dream of put
ting the best of Robert Louis Steven
son into German, or Kipling's rollick-
ing ballads of soldier life into Span
iah, or Walter Pater into Dutch, or
Edgar Allan Poe into Russian!
The one language common to US all.

are men to hear Each melody melts

Of the listeners soul and becomes a
thousand melodies instead of one.
What does the moaning monotony of
a Korean love song mean to the west
erner. or what does the swan song
mean to the Korean? Only God

nation into the language of another;

| We must always meet the criticism
that we have failed with the reply
that we had never hoped to succeed

able Interpretation. Information, facts
are merely the raw material of cul
ture; sympathy is its subtlest essence

Sheriff Kinkead of Bayonne faced
an emergency with his eyes open and
his fists closed. He stood up to the
responsibilities Of his position and
made them lean backward. He swung
his arms like windmill of personally
conducted justice, broke, it is said,
some laws and few heads, He
snatched a labor man here, a company
man there. He jumped and hoped
about so fast that no one on either side
had time to nail him to the mast OF
prejudice Sheriff Kinkead may be
hot-headed, cold-blooded or peppery,
out he is not coldfooted. He went at
ter the problem and got it. Peace has
been restored, and Kinkead-resouree-
full and courageous man-was the main
factor in getting the result.

A sad chapter is now being written
in the Danbury hatters' strike. Fore
closure is going into effect to satisfy

against whom the workmen raised q
boycott, and many families who haG
saved enough to buy their own homes
are now losing them to compensate
their former employers, who suffered

true that a wrong should be punished.

the mistake to be borne alone by meI

sad in the situation if the cocksure

If some of the high-salaried, profes

Uses OF Coke Growing.

The tremendously increased impor-
lance of by-products of coke ovens
and gas works since the war started
has led to efforts to increase the use
of coke by concerns that heretofore
have used only coal. The government
has led the way by mixing certain
proportions of coke with other fuel
on its railways and in it's buildings,
and the manufacturers are following
this example. The coke ovens and
gas works are now depended on to
furnish three vitality important prod
ucts-explosive material, motor fuel
and heterogeneous fertilizer-and it is
deemed imperative that the production
of these by-products be stimulated by
an increased demand for the coke.

The CHARM
Of MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not enc
woman in a hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should RELY
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
