In view Of the airy. way in which the president of the United States makes proclamation of the desirabil- ity of the eight hour day on all rail- roads it might be well to consider who is to foot the bills for it if, in the end, because of his dictation, it is granted by the railroads, That in crease in rates comes directly out of the pockets of the shippers.

Butterflies are unusually numerous this month in the dahlia patch and Papilio turnus in black and gold and Papilio Asterias in blue and black and yellow have preceded, as they usually do the Red Admiral and the Painted Lady who come when the ground is strewn with ripened pears. Imagine my surprise the other day to see Papilto cresphonteS an infrequent visitor who has appeared on the lot but three times in twenty years waving his gray and yellow wings as he kissed the pink and crimson blooms for which he had a special fancy. How some of our butterfly collectors would have hustled with net and killing bot tle to have captured this aristocrat among New England butterflies had they seen him. A few years ago he would not have been safe in my pres ence, but I have come to enjoy him more as a. living entity than as a dried and somewhat faded specimen. Live insects express the joy of ltving-dead ones mans brutality in the name of science.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

If only had a fortune" says the indoleut man, T might get some- where" A million men in the aisles of Time have said this; and 1t has never helped one of them. Many of them have got somewhere without it-- to the poor house. Health. strength end purpose underlie success in every Held. These create governments and fortunes and every good thing. What one might do under hoped for condi- tions cuts no ice-what one is doing under conditions as they exist is of the utmost importance. The use we make of small opportunities often demonstrates our fitness for something more important. Some have to delve for wealth and some acquire 1t by foresight. A fortune doesp't bring contentment, for 1t is loaded with re- responsibilities. Some people wish for fame not realizing what goes with 1t. The famous pay 9 high price for their distinction. It is not satisfying, What we all need is to get onto our selves, and then to do the best we can for others, which is a sure way to do the best thing for ourselves

Instead of worrying about noises it is better to get used to them. Some
 people sleep regardless of noise; and
 some lie awake though quietness in-
 vites repose. It is the part of wisdom to either fit ourselves to conditions,
 or else to fit conditions to ourselves.
 It is doubtless true that the man whose sleeping apartments were near a rail-
 road yard said with impatience to his
 son! Bob, run and tell that engineer
 to keep up his locomotive whistle or shen't be able to go to sleep tonight"
 In view of this incident what consti-
 tutes unnecessary noises? When a
 noise which distresses one man be-
 comes lullaby to another. mans ca
 pacity for adapting himself to condi-
 tions cannot be questioned. Bill Sykes
 could sleep through a thunder shower.
 but Mrs. Sykes couldn't sleep if a
 mouse tnnocently gnawed wood in the
 partitions. Polly Podreau couldn't
 sleep nights because she was afraid she might awake and find a burglar
 under the bed: and Joe Slow was sure
 the. pesky potato bugs on his mind broke him of his rest. Other people get things on their minds of no more importance than Joe Slows potato bugs, which make them sleepless. Get the nonsense out and sense in, then rest will come naturally,

As was uIanoina at a printed pa

As l was gIanoing at printed page the other day this admonitory phrase caught my eye: Make room for hap- piness!" And the thought came, why don't we create more happiness and taboo gloomy forebodings7 Hapiness is a product-a state of mind. It may be temporarily advanced from without, but all abiding happiness is from within. A mind conscious of Gods nearness and constant bounty becomes so in1bued with happiness that gloom
 can find DO place for Judgment. The fiickering pleasure which comes from personal attentions, compliments or gifts is hardly worthy the name of happiness. Happiness and helpfulness are very closely related. We must do something to win something. Hap piness is like unto @ running brook, not g stagnant pool. When it jolts over the rocks it sings instead of moans. Happiness Is made up of the joys which never expire, of the action which always promotes virtue.

Have you ever tried to get &C.,
 quainted with your better self? You did not know you had a better self? You haven't until this better selfhood is born into your consciousness. God Ilprorounced all things which he had made good. When you search to find the good in you you are on the way to your better self; and the more you strive to cultivate the good which is in you the more joy will increase in your heart. Some folks get soured by morbid thoughts, and many become | obsessed by grouchiness. They have their better selves as completely bur jed as if a professional undertaken had buried them four feet beneath the sod with no stone to mark the place. Your better self is your most reliable companion and your dependable hope. It is your better self that will always keep you sweet and get you in line for the good things in life. As the better self enlarges n1eanness shrinlls; and the fullness of power dawns upon your soul. It puts you on the high road to all that is desirable.

# hostile vessel entered the Sound, no one knew it's commission, so the alarm was quickly spread from the seaboard into the country. The dreaded foe perhaps hovered near the coast a few hours, made some startling feints, and then sailed on. Orders were given and countermanded, and the wearied militia, hastily drawn from their homes, returned again without having the satisfaction of seeing the enemy, or arriving on the spot before the danger was over.
