If people would wash out thoir
mouths twice or tbreo tlmcs a day wlth
an antiseptic solution, says a physician,
thoro would not be ncar so much sick
ness. In tho last ten yoars I havo novor
had a cold, soro tliroat or f over, and I
ascribo this immunity sololy to tho fact
thatlfollow this plan rigidly. There
aro any numbor of proprlotary antisop
tics that aro cxcollont for this purposo,
but many moro simplo agents that aro
as good or bettcr. Ono of tho best of
tho lattcr is carbolio acid. A very wcak
solution of this gargled and held in tho
mouth two or threo timcs a day will
work wondors. Immcdiately aftorusing
ono will find that tho mouth focls cloan.
or. I beliovo that a great majority of
tho common throat and lung troublcs
como from tho lodgemont of diseaso mi
crobos within mucous mombranes of tho
mouth. Tho froo uso of antiscptics will
kill theso gorms.

it is 'deleterious to public health," or
not.

During tho entiro period of his servico,
ho has givea to tho school much of that
thoughtful attention which has mado
him so successful in his own business.
His close attention to tho internal work
of the school mado him a strong factor

ho was liberal in uslng it to promoto the
cducational progross of tho childron, and

church, last Sunday. no had threo un-
usuauy largo congregations, tlie iirst
two sorvices being attondcd, mainly, by
peoplo connocted with tho church. and
at Evonsong a goodly number of others,
also, wero present. Tho subject of tho
morning scrmon was: '"Tho Easter mcs-
sago asapplied to thespiritual lifo," and
tno addrcss of tho evoniug: "Tlio jour
noy of tho two disciples to Emmous."
Mr. Richardson made a good imprcssion
on his hoarors, and hi manner of read
ing tho sorvico is both sinccre and devo-
tional. wo prediot that Ins rcctorato
will fulfill tho promisb of its ausniclous
bcgianing. Tlio annual eiection of war-

Tue largo and appreciativo audicnco
that greoted Mrs. Gon. Custor in tho
Opora Houso, last ovening, must havo
been an inspiration to that talented lady,
A spocial train brought moro than ono
hundrcd from Shaftsbury and North
Bennington, and it was a cultivated con
gregation who listened an hour and ono
half to Mrs. Custer's graphio description
of "Garrison Lifo in Winter," on tho
wcstern plalns boforo tho advent of rail
roads. The addrcss dwelt upon a pic
turo of domostic lifo in the army that
seoms to bo a sealell book and this
phaso of tho lecture was very ontsrtain
ing. Mrs. Custer was introduced by A.
P. Childs, who was, also, master of cere
monies at tho banquot and rcception by
Custor Post and Custer W. R. C, im
mediatoly following tho lecture, in their

wero introduced to Mrs. Custer. In ro

cspocially to tho members of tho organi
zation that boro tho namo of the gallant
Custer, whoso tragio doath, and that of
his wholo command, arrcsted tho atten

This closed the oxercises. Wo find that

EASTER SERVICES 1894.
At the Baptist church thoro woro olo
gant trimmings of cut flo'wors and pot
ted plante. Thoro were baptisms at both
services, the pastor preached sorraons in
harraony with tho joyous festival, and
largo congregations wero present. Tho
Easter musical programmo, under tho
direction of Prof. II. W. Downs, was so
admirably rendored that it has received
goneral oommrnaation. By rcquest tho
samo programmo will bo rcpeated, morn
ing and ovening, of Sunday April lst.
The ordinanco of baptism will bo ad
mlnistercd in tho ovening.
At St. Peter's church, as stated in an
other item, largo congregations greoted
the now rector, and tbo fino music so
lected by Prof. R. O. Goldsmith, was
admirably rendored. Tho churcli was
oponed for tho first timo sinco tho re
pairs and decorations woro finished, and
tho imprpved surroundings wero very
plcasant. Tho altar, pulpit and lcctorn
wero adorned wlth ilowers, prlncipally
calla lilics, but theso wero not in the
prof usiou of former years. Tho electric
lights add much to the beauty of the
scone. Whilo tho compliments to the
choir wero goneral, yot tho solo singlng
of Miss May Loomis, ospecially at Even
song, is very hlgh'y spokcn of.
At the church of St. Francis do Sales,
the Easter music surpassed anything
that that congiogation had ever enjoyed.
Musical Dircctor, Chas. H. Bennett,'hadi
worked hara to mako it a notablo event.
and the choir had checrfully seconded
and supported his efforts. The long
programmo, comprising Palmcr's Mass
m b flat, was finely sang. The scrmons
wero upon tho subjecc of the day, and
Father Barron took tho occasion to mako
sme practical applications to his peoplo
of tho lessons of the Queon Festival. At
tho close of tho sor.vices Mr. Bennett
f ound a basket of choice fiowers on his
tablo ncar tho organ, and upon examina
tion, nestlcd among the stcras wero four
$5. gold pieces, prosontcd as an Easter glf t
from tho choir. It was wholly a sur
priso and a handsome recognition of his
efforts in thoir bohalf.
At tho Second Congregational church
there wero largo cougregatiors presont.
and, liko other sanctuarles, tho fiorall
decorations wero numerousandpleasing.
The pastor prcachod a practical sermon,
and the musical programme, published
last week, was excoptionally woll ren
dored. The ovening Eastor Carol ser
vico was very enjoyable, the largo Sun
day school entering into tho spirit of
tho cnncort a typo of tho worship of
the "upper sanctuary."
Tho servicos at tho tfethodist Episco
pal church, M. B. Morgan, choristor.
were of a much higher order than has
beon usual of lato yoars. This was indi
cated by the published ortlerof exercises
ospecially tho music of tho morning ser
vico. As a soloist Miss Audria Bowen is
a vory promising vocalist, and in the
choruses tho voices wero well balanced.
The Easter concert in tho ovening was.
greatly enjoyed, tho largo Sunday schooll
taking hold of the oxcrciso wlth a will
that insured success. Tho pastor's
morning sermon had for its subject "The
history and observance of Easter."
A part of the music will bo rcpeated noxt
Sunday, giving our poople another op
portunity to enjoy tho solos of Misses
Bawen, Morgan and Mr. Valentino, who
woro so highly complimented, supported'
by tho now choir. Tho evening Eastcr
servico was conductcd by Supt. F. A.
Greenslet, under the direction of Miss
Araolia Burt.
Eastcr 1894 is a thing of tho past, but
its influences will linger in the minds
and religious lifo of tho people. Tho'
great lesson of Easter is that of hope.
That is what the first Easter day mcant.
Whon Simon Petor said to cortain of his
fellow disciples, "I eo a fishing," and
tho others said, "We also go with thee,""
tho simple incidont mcant moro thanap
pears on tho surface. It mcant tho ox
tinguishment of tho hopcs which had
b?on ontertained regarding tho Master,.
and a return to the old vocalion which
they had followed before thoy were ad
mitted to His high companionship.
They had hoped that it was He who
should havo redemmed Israol, as ono of
thom later said; but they hnd wltncssed
tho (omplote triumph of His enemies
over Him. Ho had suffered, as any man
might suffer: no had been nut to doath.
asany man might have been; what was
thero moro? Return to tho old manner
of life seemed to bo all that was loft to
them. What was it that changed all
this? What brought together tho. scat
tered and disheartencd disciples, held
them in a littlo company until they had
been ondued with spccial power, and;
then sent them out into a cruel and hos
tilo world? It w.n tho proof of Christ's
resurrcction which so transformed them,
and tho Christ thoy went foftli to preach
was not ii dead Christ, but a Christ for
ovor alive and present with thom. Thisr
thon. is what Eiister chieilv means. It
tcachcs that dcath is not tho end of life,.
but an episodo in it, or at tho most a
brief intorruption of it.
