"I'm ao glad that vadtion ia over ^ain, for we get rid 'of the children's •oiae." heard mother say that this week, in all earnestness. I'm not much setttttneH tatist, bat it made »e feel md ta hear that remark. It brought to «w the memory of a aimilar temark I ^bwd made toy -another mother, just about a year ago, ta reference to her only -child,« bright little fellow, fall of liffe, and as noisy as two ordinary chil-
She meant no harm fey it, bat it destined to bring her nsach sorrow. The words came hack to her when, a few 4Uys later, the little fellow, was stricken -with that terrible scourge, the scarlet /3«rer in its most fatal form. They 0 iuuirted her tlay and bright, as she
Iioveted oyer bis little •couch, leaving is nothing undone for his comfort, praydngOod all he lime that his precious "5 Slfe might'be spared te her. The noise' of his childish play would have been «weet music in her ears now, could she 3ave brought it back. But it, was will ad ^otherwise above, and a few days later, "^jwhe followed the stiffened, lifeless little
Horm to its last drear abode. It seemed «the careless words of that thoughtless minute bad rendered her life thoroughly ^miserable, so poignant was her grief, so 3*inftil her unavailing regrets. And f" "When the school'children trooped past 1 2her home this week, at the opening of wchool, their shouts and glad ories ^brought twinges of pain to her sore iheart. And the thought of that lonely 'llittle mound io Woodlawn, with the vmtt spring

jmquiems over it, the great grass spring ling into life -about it, bringing sweet ^promises of for -get me nota—the ^thoughts Of all that is gentle do not Season the weight of that heavy-laden mother heart, would rather have about 'me from now until the blessed 'kingdom oome all the noises that child ish ingenuity can invent and multiply A *ltlian have in my bosom the weight that

'How many persons are aware I wonder, tbat bundreds of pounds of counterbutter* in different forms of eleomar^H^arlne,'butterine, etc., are retailed In -t, this dty. It is all thesame, and a^it is -cheaper than the genuine article, it is i»old i» its rich yellow, deceptive color ?and vaakness, with readiness. This $ "JmUerine"' "oleo"," or whatever l^it may be called is manufactured in •^Chicago, Cincinnati and other big hog r4^jNMntreoor fourteen' cents a pound, it is 4 iMid,«nd is so disguised that much ofit not be distingaished from the v' ygeaaine article, escept by chemical prooeas. The effect of the use of bogus
I °~12uiUer. Is by oompetent authorities pro Vjsnoaaced deleterious to health, made as Mitii fr*m fat of various sorts, including lard oil, bone oil, •'tallow oil, and deod* sotixed by audi agents as nitric and sul "jphurioacid. ."The living cow cannot 'compete with the^dead hog," it ia said, truly, and there seems to be ade^jf*. anand 'for some Jlqgislatlve enactment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of ||f -.all butter adulterations. It gives the |S~M«»waa» monopoly, to be sure, but the f*®' wildest-brained lanatlcs are not likely ito object to a monopoly of that kind.
'And'talking of monopolies, a tew -words of another branch of them. The -xqaeatton on school books Is about this time of, peculiar interest to parents, and ''a few months later when a new school jyear begta*, it wlUbe of still greater in "tereet. Many a .parent, hard pressed iperhaps,-when the demand comes tor •change tin text books, has oondemned the monopoly whioh-compels us to pay *auch. prices as we am constantly paying 4for the* books from whloh our children jue supposed to draw the rudiments of learning. alt is stated on what la deem4M) reliable authority that the cost of a school book to the publisher, including •manufacture, copyright, and all other incidental expenses, .is one-fourth the aaUiag price, and that this cost has been Jlxed as aa average by the publishers ct themselves. Think of that, ye book tmyeis, andwhen you a»e paying dollars "for books think again that one-forth of

The other three-fourths goes
to the publisher for profit, less the small fwrcenuge theyjfive to the dealers for l^ndlingiheir publication*,
And the very wont faatnre of the JWshool book monopoly is that the pub* fiahers have reeeaUy entered in to a «OBatolaation, not only to keep up.prtees te&t to prevent intewferenoe with other's fcerritoij. Fbr instance, if A. A JL*Ss books are used in the schools bete,

The rscboval of the omietery to the new location east of the dty—when It take* place—wilt bring about reform that is vaeedM, and that la, the abolition of the alow, poky funeral procession. These .,*^4 ww««nte of by-gone ^ea, aad to*®® aboliahed long ago. In
Jaigedtlea, bens cemeteries are located far from the dty that alow procee«tow«n impraotkaWe, they ars done
away with, aad the family alone attend the interments. This is eminently proper, and when our new cemetery is used the custom should be established here* The interments of a relative is a sadly solemn thing, and should not be made a public occasion or parade. No more slow-moving funeral processions.-
And another good reform the distant location of the new cemetery will probably bring about, and that is the discontinuance of bands for funeral processions. It is perhaps well enough *to have the funeral column move off headed by a band playing a most solemn dirge, which, with similar music, is kept up until the grave yard is reached.* But it grates on the sensibilities, even of the most hardened, to have the same band march back, at the head of the same societies or orders, playing the liveliest of quicksteps, an air from the latest comic opera, or the latest popular sowg. We can stand a great deal, but the line
shcralA
be be drawn there. It sounds
likea general jollification over the fact thrit the funeral is over, and I can always catch a mild^refrala from the leader's cornet to the effect: "Hurrah! hurrah! we've got the old fellow planted, «ad what a glorious good thing 'it is-T' If I'm ever accorded the distinguished honor of having a brass band serenade on the day of my Taaeral, I'd prefer to have the "Johnny Morgan played the organ" air going to the grave, and the dirge coming] back.

There has beea much talk of tne*build ing boom, but have seen no mention of one undisputed evidence of its coming, and that is the organization of so many new building and loan associations. Within the past few months there have been formed here nearly half dozen df these worthy institutions, which with their united capital of over half a million dollars, will do a vast work in building up Terre Haute the present season, and the time to come. The building aud loan-societies are doing a good work, here and elsewhere, and they are enjoying a boom. A number of smaller towns in this vidnity, appre dating their value, are organizing asso ciations, which capnot fail, properly managed, to build up the towns. They operate on the prindple «ef forced sav ings, and men understand that when they must, they must. *=ss==
