It is the happy fortune of New Eng- land to be gratefully remembered by the descendants of many of her sons and daughters who went W'est years ago andggrew up with that imperial section of the republic. Although each suc- cessive decennial census has reduced the political importance of the six lit- tle States which in the early years of our national history were a mighty force; although the West, largely the creation of those States, is now in the saddle and compels New England to swallow such bitter pills as taxed hides, taxed wool, and taxed coal; although wonderful social and industrial changes have been wrought in those States by the emigration of native and the im- migration of alien stock; although the primacy of New England in manufac- tures is challenged by rivals in many States and various sections, and her metropolis is no longer the undisputed literary center—in spite of all this she has a warm place in the affections of those citizens of the lVest whose lineage leads towards Plymouth Rock. And this is not only honorable bLt profitable. Endowments for New Eng; land colleges, libraries, and other pub- lic institutions have been for many do;- eades flowing in from the “Test. Man- chester, Vt., is the latest recipient of a gift of this kind. That typical and therefore necessarily beautiful little New England town is having a library bestowed upon it by Mrs. Henry J. Willing, of Chicago. Many years ago Richard Skinner was governor of Ver- mont and subsequently Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that state. To this eminent citizen was born a son. to whom the name of Mark was given. Mark Skinner appears to have antic i- ‘pated a sentiment uttered by Stephen A. Douglas in his memoriable Presi- dential campaign. The " Little Giant, ’, facing an , audience of Green Moun- taineers._.blandly remarked: “ Yer-I mont is a glorious state to be born in— provided one emigrates young. Prior to that Mark Skinner had emigrated to Chicago, where he became a leading citizen, universally respected. Mrs. ‘Henry J. Willing is a daughter of the late Judge Mark kinner, and fittingly honors her father in the gift of a li- brary to Manchester, whichzwas dedi- cated last week. The building isarchi- tecturally beautiful and-Ecost $50,0’IO. This seems a small sum to VVashing- tonians. in view of the new building on Capitol Hi1l\that has cost six or' seven millions. but when we remember that one of these structures stands for the nation and the other for a little rural town the case assumes a different as pect. Fifty thousand dollars for Man- c‘iester is greater than seven million dollars for the United States. It is stated that already 10,000 well selected volumes are on the shelves, many of them coming from Judge Skinner‘s' ample collection of books. The walls cf the building are hung with views of Damascus, Beirut, Jerusalem, and other cities, secured by Mrs. Willing in her trip to the Holy Land. This city in libraries tl'. at be long to the United States, but very poor in free public libraries for its own people. It has never had a Peabody, a Pratt, a Cooper, or any other philan- thropist whose benevolence took that shape. Perhaps some wealthy citizen will some time do for literature and the education that comes of books what the late W. W. Corcoran did for art. But it is not best to wait for what may come in that way. “Heaven helps those who help themselves.” If we prove our in- terest in the matter by doing what we can we shall not be less worthy of be- nevolent assistance nor less likely to get it. May we not hope that some true lover of Norwalk will yet remember to pro- vide a legacy for, a public library worthy the town and the memory of the donor. A er FEMININE CHAT. ‘ The end seat in the open cars is not so desirable when it pours. A double frill of ribbon in contrast- ing colors is used advantageously on many of the summer frocks. _ No dish appeals to the adult palate like the bread and butter and brown sugar combination of childhood days. gBil-ly the Dil. Plants that are neglected appeal to the tender-hearted with almost as much force as though they were hu- man beings. It is said that the summer girl to be thoroughly au fait in the matter of dress should own at least sixteen pairs of shoes. Some women do not appear to con- sider it bad form to wear as much jewelry with a shirt waist as they would with a ball gown. Our duty when it seems the hardest is certain to be the line of action we ought to pursue. A picnic party will never be‘ quite perfection until the black ants become convinced that their society is not a necessary adjunct to the happiness of those participating in the al fresco en- tertainment. —————-—<0.0’——-— A‘Novel Communication. An Arkansas lawyer, who was a na- tfve of North Carolina, not long ago wanted to inform a juror, also a na- tive of North Carolina, that they both hailed from the same state. So he dropped some chewing gum, stepped upon it, and pretended that his heel had stuck to the floor. This gave him an opportunity to say that he was a "tar heel” and that the warmth of the room had made the tar run. The ver- dict proved that the tar heels stuck together.-—i\‘ew Tori: Tribune. Landseer Ambldextrous. Landseer was once present at a party when the conversation turned upon feats of dexterity. and a lady ex- claimed: “\\'ell, there is one thing nobody has ever done, and that is to l-raw two things at once!" "Oh, yes, I think I can do that,” returmd Land seer; and, with a pencil in each hand, he drew rapidly and simultanmusly :li-c profile of a stag‘s hezfl, with all its intiex's complete. and the perfect pro- 110 of a horse’s head. Both drawings were full of energy.—-Ph-iladelphia ledger. ““ ‘\ ..... An Uprising in His DIIdst. "Speaking of Cuban uprisings and in- surrections." said W’ullace, “I shall never forget one that occurred twenty years ago." . ., “Were you present?” asked Ferry. “Very much so. It happened about five minutes after I had lighted one of my father’s big. black Havana cigars." —-Cincinnati Enquirer. An Applied Axiom. “My erring brother,” said the Salva- tion Army worker, “do you not know that it is just as great a sin to steal a pin as to stealaa. dollar?” . “Guess you got it about right,” said “After this I ain’t goin’ to steal nothin’ that ain’t worth noth- in'."—Cincinnati Enquirer. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. T00 frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. ,Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
