(The following paper by Mrs. Laura Rand, was read before a meeting of the Barton W. C. T. U.) "Of making many books there is no end," said the inspired writer, and in this age of the world the uninspired writer knows the truth that the wise son of David uttered so many centuries ago. The literature of today may be clas sified as most things are in popular parlance "Good, bad, and indifferent. It is of the good literature that we are to consider mostly in this paper. There are so many special departments of good literature that it will not be possible to consider them all, but we will take the departments that interest or should interest all. RELIGIOUS LITERATURE. The one book that stands ahead of all others is the iBible, the inspired Book. It is a wonderful book, a real "light unto our feet and a lamp unto our path.' Each one of us ought to read a few verses in. God's book everyday and learn one verse each day. Aside from the influence on our spiritual life it has an influence upon our intellectual life. There comes to my thought as I write this, a little incident that hap pened to a friend of mine some years ago. She was working for a short time at the same place with a young French girl and they worked side by side. One day the young girl said to my friend: -"Would it be possible for you to get me a French Bible? I have always wanted one but never have been able to get it." That evening the lady carried a French Bible to her young friend. The next morning as the lady approached the place where they worked, she saw her young friend standing in the open door, the precious book open in her hands and as the lady approached the girl said. "O hurry, do hurry! I have found tbe most beautiful thing that was ever written ! You surely could not have known that it was in the Bible or you would have told me about it before. Listen !" And then the girl read in the beautiful French language the story of the Beatitudes. Yes, the Bible is a beau tiful book ! Then there are multitudes of reli gious books, many of them written by eminent authors, that appeal to our spiritual and intellectual welfare. These good books are almost exhaust less. How shall we use them? By getting one thought, one idea every day, think upon it, until it becomes a knowledge to us. Frances E. Willard, whose memory we venerate, had a rule not to let a day pass without learning one new thought, some quota tion that she never forgot. Those who had the privilege of hearing her, whether in address or in conversation, often wondered at the apt quotation that always fitted so admirably her theme. When we learned her habit of acquiring some new thought every day, we understood what a help it must have been to this great and gifted woman. And this is a benefit to us who may not be great and gifted. It will be to us who have not genius a helping stone in all our walks of life. It will help us to think of good things. It will give us an interest in the great field of literature" that will abide with us all through life. PHYSICAL CULTURE. Then there is at the present time much literature that tells us how to care for the body. It is said that there has been a gain in the longevity of life. If we live a few years longer than our ancestors, it doubtless is because we know better how to care for our bodies than they did. There is scarcely a magazine published that does not have at least one article upon some phase of the health question, , which of course includes foods and drinks. This has been especially valu able to mothers in the care of their children. I opened a magazine yester day and the first article that riveted my attention was entitled, "A Mother as a Nurse." There followed an illus trated article giving the way a mother could care for. her sick child. In an other part of the magazine was a menu given that would be of adaptability to the average house wife. We have literature in abundance that is for our moral, intellectual and physical good. The best rendering of each is to study a single thought each day, for several days until it has become an education to us. Gradually in this way, one will become learned on all these important subjects. Body, mind and soul are so connected and hold such a relation to each other that one can scarcely be benefited without helping the others. FICTION. There is another class of literature, probably read more than any other, fiction, that is of value if rightly read. The great trouble with most of us is that we allow the novel to drive out our interest in all other kinds of good liter ature. The novel, as a rule, should be a recreation, not an absorption. Fasci nating, but not to the exclusion of all other reading. A judicious amount of fiction is good for us, but care must be taken that it does not absorb us. I once knew a very intellectual woman who acquired the novel reading mania to such an extent that she would leave her breakfast table standing, with dishes unwashed, until it was time to get dinner, while she would sit poring over novels. She not only neglected her house, but also her family. There are good novels that while they enter tain, also elevate. Read novels, but read them wisely. MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS. The world is full of this class of literature. Magazines are an impor tant class, combining all phases of good reading, with an occasional one that has to be suppressed. The Ameri can world has been very good in look mg after bad literature. That man in New York, who recently died, spent many years of his long life in protect ing young people from pernicious liter ature. I refer to Anthony Comstock. Someone will take his place and the good work will go on. Of the daily papers that are printed by the millions we have a good use. We, can get the daily news as it comes from all parts of the world in the daily paper, but we cannot afford to spend our time and strength in filling our minds with the daily murders, divorces, and such classes of sensational reading with which our daily papers are filled. Read the wholesome parts of the papers but let the unwholesome go unread. I think the time will come when our papers will be required by .law to omit! so much that is degrading. Then we have our religious papers that are exceedingly valuable to us. BAD LITERATURE. It is hardly necessary to speak of this class of literature to this audience. There are many bad books but we let them alone. And yet our children do sometimes find them. We cannot be too careful in this direction. Literature and how to use it ! This is agreat theme, worthy of the eminent men and women who have made a study of it for a lifetime. In addition to what I have already said I make the following suggestions : 1. Always keep a notebook for reference notes when you read These notebooks are valuable. You will thus be able to keep within touch what will be of value to you. 2. Remember to read choice books slowly and carefully. The especially good thoughts that you wish to retain, or memorize, either copy them in your notebook, or if the book is your own, place in the notebook the place and paragraph where it may be found. 3 If you are reading simply for entertainment, still cling to your note book. The book may have a choice thought to copy. 4. Always give the author's name to every quotation if you can, as it may be valuable for you to know, if you ever quote it, who the author is. It was a wise man who years ago said to those who came to him to learn wisdom, "Read, and you will know" The right kind of reading and the right way of reading will make one wise. As that eminent man said years ago. ro we say today, "Read, and you will know !" CALEDONIA COUNTY. All roads will lead to St. Johnsbury, May 17-20, when the manufacturers and merchants of that town give an industrial exposition that will show not only "made in St Johnsbury" products, but many of the articles handled by the merchants as well.

The creditors of Griswold & Mac Kinnon of St. Johnsbury, wholesale grain dealers, have appointed Jonas H. Brooks and Harry Blodgett trustees to handle the property and dispose of the stock on hand.

Liabilities of $167,000 are distributed among 12 banks in Vermont and New Hampshire, none of which will be seriously affected.
