Bellows Falls, June 1S.-The work
of Child Helping in Vermont advances
one more stage with the engagement
OF a new field agent as assistant to
the General Secretary by the Vermont
Children's Aid society. The June
meeting Of the board of directors con-
firmed the appointment of Miss Har.

quarters will be in Bellows Falls.
Under the supervision of the General
Secretary Miss Abbott will conduct the
society's work of child helping in the

aMARoINsn OF TIME.

Ask highly educated man who
leads q busy life how he ever found
time to do all his reading and study
ing and thinking, and you always get
the same story. ("Highly educated"
does not necessarily mean college edu-
Gated, for people who are really edu-
Gated get it themselves, no matter
what their schoollng.) The story
they oil tell is this: they used their
margins" Our days are full Of waste
minutes, which grow into waste hours.
writes Uncle Dudley in Boston Globe.
You find that these well-educated peo-
pie always carried a book in their
pockets; that they memorized irregu'
lar French verbs while shaving; that
they read science or law or literature
on street cars or during ten-minute
waits for railroad trains. A young
Gloucester fisherman, who learned
trigonometry braced in his bunk on
days too blowy to fish, when the
schooner was iouncing around on
Georges, and his mates were playing
poker, eight years later is in COM

with bevy OF little children; but she
had grit and used her margins.

Appeals to America.
In one paragraph the writer makes
direct appeal to America in these
words:
"And you, every individual Ameri-
can--l call to you. You are young
and rich, you are broad in spirit and
energetic, you desire that the torch OF
your freedom shall throw its light on
distant Europe also-come then and
zee in what agony we are, in what in
human servltude our body and our
spirit are struggling. If you would
but see, ] assure you, you would be
terrified and you would curse those
deceivers and liars who have repre-
sented this most evil tyranny to you
as break on the part of the whole
Russian people for liberty"
Andreley explains the title Of his
appeal thus:
Like wireless operator on sink
Ing steamer that through the night
and the darkness sends the last calls
Quickly to our aid. We are sink
ing. Save our souls, so also l, moved
by my faith In human clemency, throw
into the dark space my prayer of per.
lshing human beings. If you but knew
how dark the night is around us
There are no words to describe this
darkness"
Worse Than Death.
At another point he writes:
ut is not assistance for the Rus
sian people that l implore OF you. But
here are these thousands, more OF
less, who have but one life, which
Is but an instant, and who are perish
ing every hour in unbearable suffer
ing, or who live, but in way worse
than death. II is Of no importance
that they are called Russians but II
Is of Importance that these human
beings, whose sufferlngs began SC
long ago and continue endlessly, con
tinue without CLEAN of light, as IL
q real hell, from which malignant, ter
rible forces rule unchallenged.
There is still time to shorten theil
Suffer1ngs; there Is still time to re
move the menace of death from theil
heads, and it Is for the saving of theil
souls that | send forth my human

GOATS MILK FINDING FAVOR
Prejudice Against This Cheap and
Nutritious Food Seems In Fair
Way to Disappear.

Goats. 1t must be admitted, have
never been taken seriously by public
opinion in the United States, and the
news that the owner Of the largest
herd in the American Northwest is
preparing to establish an extensive
dairy for the sale of goats milk Will
probably seem to many rather humor-
Gus. As matter of fact, however, 1t
appears that a promising beginning IS
already made, and that the city OF
Seattle, conveniently near the great
herd of goats on Cypress island, In
the Puget Sound archipelago already
consumes about a thousand quarts OF
goats milk a day. Publicity will per-
haps be necessary to overcome the
American habit Of regarding the goat
humorously, and it may take time and
patience to prove widely the state
ment of the owner Of the herd that
goats milk is quite as good If not
actually better than cows milk, Five
cents a day. says he, will pay the cost
Of keeping a goat whose average milk
production is two or three quarts;
and two quarts of milk for cents
would make a considerable difference
In the food expense of a family. The
goat dairy may be more Important
than it seems; and ten years from now
such dairies NAV be commonplace.

Romans Fondness for Amber.

Amber was the first precious stone
made use Of for the purposes OF per
sOnal adornments. Homer mentions
'the gold necklace hung with bits Of
amber" which was offered by the
Phoenlcian trader TO the queen Of
Syria, and Nero. in one of his badly
composed verses to Poppaea's hair, de
scribed it as Of an 'amber" shade.
The Romans valued amber highly. not
alone for its beauty, but also for the
medicinal qualities which they believed
It to contain. In their opinion, an anu
let OF amber, worn round the neck. was
an infallible cure for ague or chills;
ground up with honey ana rose oil,
amber was a specific for deafness and
ground with honey a remedy for de-
fectiye sight
