Contagiousness of the Smile. AnythinK which makes ns smile pro­

duces within 'US the healthful excita­tion which gives u s the pleasant emo­tions as.soclated with smlUng. The song which calls up the action of smil­ing in our minds calls up a t the same time a mental echo of the actual erpe-rience and so puts us , as we sing it or hear It In a pleasant, happier frame ami keeps us Strong and well. There is much to show this. The contagious­ness of a smile Is quickly proved. Take a chilli into a crowded s t reet car or eist-wliere. If there Is not a great I nunter attraction even the grouchlest • rati around about will soon or late s::iile buck at the cherub.—Exchange.

Origin of Cardinal 's Red Hat. It is a tradition thut the red hat

of the cardinal is due to the follow-;i.^- c ircumstance: The Countess of I ianders complained to Innocent the I ' .n r th that in a grea t nssemldage she "Ul l i not distinguish cardinuls from ahlints and other grea t personages of the ciiurch. Aceordlngl.v. a t the coun-<ii at Lyons In 1245, the pope pre-pcrihert that the red ha t should replace it^i- m i t r e : and ever since t ha t time the synil.oi of the cardinal 's r ank has been a rcd hat . SInco t h e yea r 1464 red robes huve been •worn by cardinals ; the purple robeS, •which were decreed hy P.ori 'ece the Eighth, a re worn only In Lent and A d v e n t

I 'omona Grange Meeting. \ The Mlddlesex-Worceste: i ' ,mona

Grange held a successful ir...ting in Odd Fellows' hall last week Thur.sday with a good number in ar,-ndance. Tho morning session wa.s opened ut lO.SOwIth the Poraona Grang.- master. Mrs. Blanche Brown, persi.iir.g. Tiio usual business was ' t ransac t . ' 1 . follow­ed b y , a rehearsal of the flfth degree. "At- the noon hour—about lU' were served an excellent dinner ;n charge of Mrs. L. U. Clement, -"ilis. .Milo Spauldlng. Albert Cowland ami liolpois from the Townsend Grange.

The afternoon session was opon to the public, when a cordial w.-icome was given hy Mrs. E d n a W. Bray, master of Townsend Grango, with a pleasing response by John Wright, steward of the POmona Grange. A pleasing musical feature of tlie after­noon program, was a n Illustrated -song. •Hata of o ther days ," sung by Mrs.

Mabel Btxickett, t h e song being illus­trated by tett Itvlhgr models who marched in bedecked with hats or bon­nets according to t h e .period. Mrs. Brackett received a hear ty encore and responded with the song, "The old-fashioned Wife," lUustratd h.r her liv­ing models being grouped in tableau ail busily knitting.

A talk bj- William Juhb. giving a brief-description of t h e manufacture of paper was of much Intorost, and two poems, "Pu rchase a pig and heip win the war" and "Making brown bread," recited by Mrs. Barrow, was thoroughlj- enjoyed. A paper contain­ing many timely suggestions w.as given by Mra. Winifred F a r r a r on "How can women hest lighten labor and obtain more time for recrea t ion?" Her main point of emphasis •WSLB, by doing one's work by systBTTI-she saved time; HTsd, that we could imita te chlidren and hiirry our w-ork rriahy t imes a.id thus have more t ime "for plky," . Tiie war .food demonstration table, in charge of i l r s . Grace Broci<. proved a, decided a t t ract ion. , Sam pies were exhibited of sugar substitutes in cool;-ing and candy-making: ' also, whotit suiistltutes in bread foods .'nirt cako flours, . .

The addro.-w of t h e aftoinoon .was given.l>y F , . W, Wright , c-JmniisKloiior of the State Board of Education, who spoke on '^The public schools." Ho said that tho American pooiilo lioliove in education tremendously, and that oiio-sixth of the population is in tho public schools, and tha t tho Stato Board of Education-'SRenils ono-third .of the public money.-for education. He made mention that, one might thinl: that the war woUld Bc-tho nnvin sub­ject of discussion In t h e British parlia­ment, but in his reading that ilay in an English paper he sa.vs tliai after four long years of w a r that indu.stries and educational questions came first In their debates. He brought an impres­sive picture to the mimrs eye when hc said that in th is war there was a double t rack: on -one vas the sol­diers -working to w-in-.tlemocracy and -on thcrother" \<^s f h a t ^ a c h e r -norking for-education: that t h e schooi teachers and soldiers worked tpgether; that the teacher was only .another kind of sol­dier. He rofon-ed to Horaco JIann's four tests on education—tirst, tho schooi ijuilding must be.nettt, sanitarv-and attractl\-e; second, the school coni­mittoe must lie ofllcient men thorough­ly interested along all lines of oduca­tion; third, toachers employort should be tr.ainod. competent .and conscien­tious: fourth, intorest the public ha\o in oducation, .Mr. Wright held the attontion of all li\' liis earnest utter­ances.

Don't have your car paiated until you see us. We feel sure we can tell you some things about automobile paint­ing which you ought to know before placing, your order. Painting automobiles is not like painting houses—no more than building automobiles,is like building houses. Auto­mobile painting is a trade of its own. It takes a specially trained workman to make a car look like new and stay that way.

We are now in a position to put through a. few jobs of first-class automobile painting in very short order. But we would advise you to see us at once if you want prompt action.

PEPPERELL NoHti Itctms.

The Lenten dinner at the -M. E. church'on Thursduy of last week was attended by the usual meinbers of the church. The dinner <Mjnsisted of fish chowder, baked beans, jiickies. Dlaln pJes, and there .was white bread, "but the dark cpmplexioned bread held ei^'ay and it demonstrated that the' ladiea can Hooverize and still have it toothsome. They s;iy that Mis. Jerry Annls can make tip top tish chowder.

.Howard Slocum returned to New Brunswick. N. J., Wednesday o^ last 'week after a four-days' vacation with i l ls parents. Mr-ami Mrs. K. \V. Slo­comb.

Rev. Thomas O'Toole has been as­signed to St. Benedict's church in Somervlll^-

' On March 29 there was a union meeting at the Methodist church to observe Good Friday. Mrs. Elsie Copp and. Mrs. Alice Bartlett sahjf. The pastor and Bev. Dudley R. Child made fitting remarks.

^The 'Woman's club met on Monday atternoon In the Congresrational ves­try. The program . •was a$ follows:. fC^a'dings. Mrs. Charles Denham. Mlss Mary Wood. ' Mrs. George Shattuck and Mrs. John' Boynton; solo nnd en^ core. Mrs. C. D. Hutchinson: "The tiatUe hymn of the republic" and "Ainerica" were sung In chorus.

Mrs. B. F. Parker will spend this week-end' vi-ith her daughter. .Mrs.; Ciirkin, in .Clinton. They formerly liv­ed in Ayerand then went to Worcester, and then almost, immediately removed to their '.present home in Clinton.

• Bernard Slocomb has written his parents that he has had a change in

Mis position' from a guard over the five magazines of munitions to become a sherift, but Is located in Haskell. N.. J., just the same. He has been sworn in as deputy sheriff in the coun­ty of PaSsaic. N. J.

The services a t the Methodist church were eiijoyed by nil that there was room for and it wlll be recorded as a beautiful Easter, both materially and for . the religious uplift. Ilev. W. H. Beers spoke eloquently on "Bternal

I life." Mrs. Laura Herrlg Kelly ren­dered a solo on her violin and added

/ niuch to the other good music. Mrs. -•' Duncan was the organist. Mrs. Alice

Blood Bartlett's solo. "With talth tri-' ' umphant," blended Into the services

'well. The evening serv-ices were dit-, ferent from the ordinary Eastcr con­cert, as they partook of the nature of

; a pageant, and the entire production reflected the effort of the- committee. The anger spirit ot the • resurrection permeatied the whole. The last tableau, where Faith .stood with hands uplifted i and the red red lights bringing out 1 the group was very pleasing. The front of the church was decorated

i'Wlth many fine geraniums and other house plants.

On Monday afternoon there -was a firo that consumed the hou.se in the rear of the catholic church, where the Weidon family lived. They got out some of the things In the house. Rumor had It that it was set by a locomotive, but Mr. Reed is authority tor saying that the railroad had burn­ed the grass some days prerious as a precaution. The flre apparently caught in the rear of the barn. This Is the sAme place that was occupied for flf­teen or more'\'ears by the Supple fam­ily.
