LEGISLATING FOR LUMP SUM
SALARY.

1t does appear fatuous for the present
Vermont Legislature to endeavor to i'm
pose salary limitations on future legisla
lures which it is unwilling to accept for
itself. Salaries that are suitable for
forthcoming legislatures ought to be
suitable for the present legislature. OF
course, such a provision for paying the
members of the general assembly now
in session is out of the question because
they have practically completed their
service and been paid according to the
per diem system. At the outset of the
session of the succeeding Legislature it
would be proper to take up this matter
in all seriousness and then and there fix
for itself and the legislatures to come a
lump sum salary. This idea should be
held in mind between the present time
and the assembling of the next legisla-
ture two years hence. A majority, we
believe, of the people of the state are in
favor of lump sum salary for the mem
bers of the general assembly; and the
same opinion is reflected in the men who
are sent to Montpelier, only the latter
have the wrong idea of going about the
adoption of such system of stipend.
The plan is dead this session, and well
dead too, because it is too late to do the
work properly.

Mother Brook.

After nearly three centuries of use
fulness Mother brook. the first canal
dug in this country, still finds itself
utilized to some extent, though the re-
quirements which brought it about
have long since passed. Its construc-
ton was undertaken and completed by
the hardy citizens Of Dedham. Mass, in
1859. to provide water for mill pur-
poses. The artificial waterway was
constructed to onnec the Charles riv-
err with East brook, covering a distance
of about a mile. 1t was a great un-
dertaking for those days. when every
foot had to be excavated laboriously
by hand. but the work was carried out
with the usual determination marking
the settlers Of the day. The canal
winds round the highlands of the
town. and On both sides, extending nj.
most to its border, may be cen well
kept MISUNDERSTANDING.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.


Can you look ut I'M egg and tell If it
will hatch? Probably not. but you can
greatly increase the hatching power Of
the egg by following these suggestions,
which are offered by w. A. Lippincott,
professor of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college:
Select eggs which do not weigh less
than two ounces. rejecting all exceed.
ingly large and abnormally shaped
eggs. The unusual shaped eggs will
probably hatch. but pullets raised from
such eggs will probably lay abnormal
eggs.
Never wash eggs before setting them,
Keep the eggs in u dry place at a TEN
perature between 81 and 65 degrees.
turning them at least once every othe'
day. An egg in which the germ has
become fastened to the shell will sci
dom hatch. The germ spot is always
In the uppermost pnrt Of the egg. and
IL the egg is not turned the germ will
stick to the shell II evaporation takes
place.
The eggs should be gathered ut least
twice a day unless they are to be put
into the Incubator Immediately.

overflow from the spring descends in
tiny rivulets. everywhere interlaced
with one another. A map Of the mound

$50 by 800 feet in size. Over the lake
hangs an ever present cloud Of steam.
which itself often bears a crimson
tinge. reflected from the waters below.
The steam unfortunately obscures the
surface of the lake. and one involun-
tarily wishes for q rowboat in which to

You're q Brick.

No doubt you have often heard one
man say to another when he Is very
much pleased. You are a brick. old
fellow!"
Perhaps you will think it is a very
queer thing to say. but I will tell you
how such a saying Is said to have
come in use.
Many. many years ago a famous
king sent an ambassador to another
famous king. The ambassador was
much surprised to find that the king
whom he was visiting had no walls
around his city.
In those day. Of course, in order to
keep out enemies nearly every city
was surrounded by strong and high
walls. So the surprised ambassador
said to the king. "Why. you have no
walls for the city"
We have" said the king.
Where? Where?" asked the ambas-
sador. more surprised than ver
The king then pointed to bis large
army. which was not far away. and
said. with a smile: There are the
walls of my city. Every man you see
Is q brick"
The king meant that IN enemy would
have to defeat those soldiers before
they-that is. the ~enemy-could enter
the city.

As a boy I was, fond Of parades.
marching music and gunpowder and,
like all boys, made every sacrifice for
the usual p~yrotechnics and never was
so, happy as with. the noise Of that day.
But now-what a difference being q

make any sacrifice, to, free myself from
the noise Of It.
However, I never want to live to
see the Fourth Of July celebrations
lose their interest, for then civil and

cherished by mankind. It is not an
extravaganza to glorify with bunting

ton of the Union. Such ovattons

Orp is called tin stone OF. tin oxide and

Tin was used by the ancients. The
Phoenicians obtained most of their tin

Thrive Without Sunshine.

The doctrine that sunshine is neces-
sarily helpful and beneficial to the
health is not always true. The Turk
ish men and women upset this theory
completely. Across every window in
a Turkish home are lattices to keep out
curiosity and sunlight. The Turkish
women get as little sunlight outside of
their homes as they do inside.
At the age of twelve the MOslem
woman takes the veil and she is eve
seen without it. The only chance she
gets to let the wind blow on her face
is when she is seated in the court
yard and within the walls of her own
home.
In spite of the fact that the men and
women get so little exercise and fresh
air they are strapping big and hardy
people. Few Americans can match
them in physique or powers of en-
durance.-St. Louis Republic.

1 PoLYGLoT FOURTH.

How American Holiday 10 Celebrated
BY New Works. Many Nationalities.
Patriotic celebrations conducted In
half a dozen different languages are
numbered among the features OF the
Fourth Of July in New York city. the
most cosmopolitan place on earth.
Neighborhood affairs, held in various
parks, give Manhattan's foreign born
population a clearer idea Of the mean
ing Of the day.
In each Of the public parks there is a
flag raising, and the Declaration Of In
dependence is read in the language
used most in that particular district.
The celebrations generally begin at 10
o'clock in the morning.
The big event in City Hall park is
the parade Of nations. Dozens of fam
flies, representing as many different
countries, showing the cosmopolitan
character Of the population, are al
ways in line. The head Of each family
carries the flag Of his native land. but
the foreign flags are greatly outnum-
bered by the stars and stripes. The
City History club supplies the prograHl
at McGown's pass in Central parK:!
This includes a drill by Continental
guards. !.
At Washington square French resi-
dents gather and hear praise Of La
fayette. In Mulberry Bend and in
some parks Italian jewellers hear adj
dresses on the history Of the United
States.
Tompkins square is set apart for the
Hungarians. At John Jay park, Seven
ty-sixth street and the East river, the
Bohemians assemble. Hamilton Fish
and Seward parks are reserved for the
Jewish population.
"The neighborhood celebration gives
the foreigners a better insight into the
history Of their adopted land" said a
New Yorker. MANY igno-
rant Europeans do not know the sig
nificance Of the day. The observation
arouses in them a patriotic feeling for
America"

What After safsty7

Everybody from Dan to Beersheba il
now thoroughly convinced that safety
first is the proper thing. 1t may not
always be possible to agree upon
whose safety it shall be, but considered
wholly in the abstract anybody caught
putting anything ahead Of safety in
these enlightened days of peace and
good will would have to dodge anatl-
ema the rest of his life.
Indeed, so amicably and universally
settled is this problem Of safety
first" that many are wondering IL we
shouldn't now stop talking about it and
commence to consider what shall come
after safety. Safety. although the first
thing. Is not the only thing. What
shall we have for second? Any sug.
gestion, however foolish. will he vel
come.-Life.
