| should not appear as candidate Ior
governor, there being manifest feel
| ing in the state that the custom OF
making governors out of lieutenant
governors should not prevail longer
at this time. 1t is reported, and is
probably true, that Gov. Fuller does
not expect a nomination and will not
be candidate. Col. Fuller will lose
nothing of esteem and will, on the
contrary, place himself in much
better attitude before the people OF
the state, if he keeps out of the con-
test. There will be time enough, in
the natural order of things political,
to show a proper recognition OF his
ability and his worth. Col. Hooker
does not push his name to the front,
and his friends await more propi-
tious time to put him forward. We
do not learn from any reliable source
that he has any particular desire for
the place.
The facts and results above noted
clear the political atmosphere consid-
erably and there seems to be very
spontaneous, if not indeed a unanI-
nous belief, that William z. billing
ham of Waterbury is not only the
coming man, but that he combines
the elements that will make him the
most popular man that could be put
forward i'll this important campaign.
He is comparatively young; but few
men, young OF old, III Vermont have
had experiences in things pertaining
to the affairs of state government
that better qualify them for executive
duties than Mr.. Dillingham;. He is
educated; he is familiar with
the affairs of each branch of the gov
eminent; he is well read lawyer
and has been active in law practice
many years his character is ire
he is a stauncn temper
ance man he is Christian gentle
man; the things of his head and
heart are right; his hand is warm
and his friendship is ardent. The old
men will be enthusiastic for him on
account of his renowned and esteem
ed fath,r; the young men will rally
to his support as the best representa-
tive of their class; republicans will
honor him for his steady and intense
republicanism; no temperance man
may expect to find more fit repre-
sentative of true, consistent temper
ance principles every Christian man
can feel that the selection of such a
man would exalt Christianity in the
state. 1t would seem at this time to
be difficult matter to find one to place
at the head of the state ticket who
would better help to swell the great
majority which the party will roll up
for republican principles at the state
election.

Death of Judge Redfie1d.

Hon. Timothy p. Redfeld of Mont
pelier died in Chicago on Tuesday
evening, March 81. He had been in
failing health for several years, and
when he went to the West last fall
it was hardly expected by his friends
that he would live to return. Tim
othy Parker Redfeld was born in
Coventry, Vermont, November 3,
1912, and was one of the twelve
children of DR.. Peleg Redfeld,
noted physician of Orleans county.
With scanty means he fitted for col
lege and entered Dartmouth. By
teaching at intervals he paid the ex-
penses of his course, and in 1886
graduated with honor. Immediat ly
after leaving college he began the
study of law with his brother, Isaac
f., and taught for time at Brown
ingtOn academy. In 1888 he was
admitted to the bar and opened an
office in Irasburgh. On February 6,
1910, he married Helen w. Grannis
of Stanstead, P. O., who survives
him. Four children were born to
them, of whom Mrs. A. j. Phillips
of ST. Louis is the only survivor.
In 1913 Mr.. Redfield was a senator
Ar.ln In q
removed to Montpelier, where he
afterwards resided He was employ
ed continuously in the practice of
his profession until he was elected
Judge of the supreme court in 1870.
He was successfully reelected I'M
til the fall of 1884, when he declined
reelection. In 1888 he visited
Europe in the vain endeavor to re-
gain his health, and on his return he
felt compelled to seek absolute rest.
In politics Judge Redfeld had always
been democrat. He had the honor
of being elected To the bench by a
republican Legislature. In 1884 he
was the democratic candidate for
United States senator against Hon.
Justin S. Morrill,. He was man
of scholarly tastes and was we'll
versed in historical and general lit
erature. In social life he was an
agreeable companion. For many
years he had been a worthy commun-
icant of the Protestant Episcopal
church. OF Judge Redfeld's pro-
fessional and judicial career we ex-
tract the following appreciative words
from Hon. L. IL. Thompson's COM
prehensive sketch in the Biography
of the Bar of Orleans County :"
''From the outset of his professional
| career he commanded the respect
and confidence of the people of his
native county and soon became one
of its leading lawyers. From 1886
no 1870 he practiced constantly in
| the courts of Orleans, Caledonia and
Washington counties, being engaged
in many of the most important trials.
~ Possessed of an excellent
memory, sound judgment, fine rea-
| soning powers, a judicial temperament
| and most subtle intellect, he was
| safe counsel and a most dangerous
| adversary. A man once his client
usually was always his client When
| he left the bar for the bench but few
lawyers, if any, in the state had
larger clientage than he. As a prac-
| titioner at the bar he was self-pos-
sessed, cautious, skillful, clear-head
ed, quick to discern the weak points
in his adversary's case and to grasp
the strong ones in his own, thus be-
ing the opponent who required con-
slant attention. ~ = n As n,
advocate he was not surpassed by
any lawyer in the state. He i'm

Burlington proved a sunnynand
agreeable place to hold the Hate
convention. The weather happened
to be perfect; the streets of the city
were nearly dry, and the bare, almost
green fields in the vicinity were
welcome sight to the many Vermont
ers who had come from hills and val
leys still deeply covered with snow
and ice. The hotels afforded ample
accommodations, and Howard Opera
House a most suitable place for the
large gathering.

The awful devastation wrought by
the floods in Germany has awakened
sympathetic interest the world over.
Day by day the dismal figures swelled
until the dreadful maximum was
reached of 10000 people rendered
homeless. Hundreds of villages were
submerged, thousands of cattle per-
ished, while the loss of life cannot
yet be certainly estimated. The ruin
includes, also, the crops for the pres
ent year. The inundated district
comprises principally the regions wa
tered by the Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and
Oder rivers, which have, in some
places, overlooked their banks for a
breadth of a hundred miles. No
words can tell how much distress and
hardship this dreadful calamity has
occasioned.

The Quaint COreans.

Although Chinese and Japanese dig nitaries have long been familiar in this country, there is enough that is novsl in tho costumes and customs of the mem- bers of the Coreanne Embassy at Wash ington to excite great attention at the capital. Their walk is described as a "stately glide," and the Minister espe- cially, although hardly up to the average height, is credited with an unusually dignified gait, set off by Ia serene smile." A mass of skirts and furbelows of the richest silks is leading feature in their garments, rustling as they walk; while their "tall black hats o1 horse-hair set daintily on the crown of the head, which is itself topped by the coil of halr," were not removed, it is said, during their preliminary interview with MT. Bayard. This head gear, through which the air can circulate, is hardly such as an American would fancy for this time of the year; but then Americans without practice could hardly balance the hats at all. Their features, are of the true Mongolian type, and the visitors seem we'll pleased with thei' novel surroundings, and with customs which would doubtless appear more singular had not Americans been fol years in favor with the King of Corea. - Harper's Weekly.

Verifying Thermometers.

Any one can verify his instrumeut at tho freezing point by immersiug the oulb and tube in melting snow or broken ice up to the top of the mercury column. The mercury, after a few minutes exposure to the ice, should stand at B degrees, or freezing. This method is in use in the United States ugnal service, where all thermometers ire verified four times year with great care The errors for other points of the scale may best be deter mined by immersion in water with a celiable instrument. Ths water may be gradually heated and the instruments compared at various points as tho tenn oerature increases. The water should be constantly stirred and care should be taken not to force the mercury to the sop of the tube, thus breaking the ther- nometer. A common difficulty with ,heap instruments is that the tube is fable to slip on thu scale, rendering the readings erroneous. h sele cting a ther- nometer the purchaser should see that the tube is securely fastened in its place. .-- Boston Transcript.

Positions of tho Body in Sleep.


 According to Dr. Granville, the position affects sleep. A constrained position generally prevents reposc, while a comfortable one woos sleep. He says: Living fit on thu back, with the Ii nbs relaxed, would seem to secure the great est amount of rest for the muscular sys- tenn. This is the position assumed iu the most exhausting diseases, and it is generally hailed as tokcn of revival when patient voluntarily turns on the side; but there are several disadvau- tages in the supine posture which impair or embarrass sleep. Thus in weakly states of tho heart and blood vessels, and certain nor bid conditions of the brain, the blood seems to gravitate to the back of the head and to produce troublesome dreams. In persons who habitually, ia their gait or work, stoop there is probably some distress consc- queDt on straightening the spine. Those who have contracted chests, especially persons who have had pleurisy and re- tain adhesions of the lungs do not sleep we'll on the back.
 Nearly all who are inclined to snore do so in that position because the palate and uvula hang on tho tongue, and that organ falls back so as to partly close the top of the wiudplpe. It is better, therefore, to lie on the side, and in the absence of special diseases rendering it desirable to lio on the weak side, so as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is we'll to use the right side, because when tho body is thus placed, the food gravitates more easily out of the stomach into the intestines, and the weight of the stomach does not compress the up per portion of the intestines. A glance at any p'atc of the visceral anatomy will show this must be.
 "Many persons are deaf in one ear and prefer to lie on a particular side; but, if possible, the right side should be chosen. Again, sleeping with the arms thrown over the hoad is to be deprecated; but this position is often assumed during sleep. because circula- tion is then free in the extremities, and | the head and neck and muscles of the chest are drawn up aud fixed by the shoulders, and thus the expansion of the thorax is easy. The chief objections tc these positions are that they create { tendency to cramp and cold in the arms, and sometimes seem to cause headache. during sleep and dreams These small matters often make or mar comfort 1T sleeping.

Sheet Iron Mail Bags.

Quite as suspicious means are em- ployed in collecting the mails as in con trolling tho sale of cigars in Russian cities. A letter posted in a steeet box is no more likely to come into tho hands of the mail carrier or collector than cigars are to pass through the hands of the vendor. The men who collect the mail have sacks of sheet iron, which they first fasten under the street box. Then they unlock the side of tho box sufficiently to crowd in small .heet iron case. Tho latter crowds down and out tho case containing the deposited mail and it is locked. When the mail gets into tho bag therc is dou- bio locks and double security against theft by the collector. -[Kausa, City Journal

The Fountain of Youth.

For the last six years---ever since the foundation of Chamberlain Sioux Indians have endeavorcd to prevent the whites from getting possession of Amer ican Island, which lies in the centre of the Missouri river. It was always sup posed that their reason was of mer- cenary character, and that their object was to cut the timber with which the island is covered, and turn it into the bright, yellow gold which they now covet so much.
 But a different reason has lately, and by accident, been discovered. It has always been supposed that when the Spaniards failed to- discover the fabled fountain of perpetual youth among the everglades of Florida, the romantic dream ended there and. men grew old and gray as of yorc. Not 50, however, as this narrative will show. On the upper end of this island, hidden by dropping evergreens, and shaded by stately cottonwoods, is spring. It bursts forth clear and beautiful and with murmu7 as soft as 8 maiden prayer glides from it's island home into the yellow, gurgling waters of tho Missouri. The water retains the same temperature winter and summer, and it's volume re. tains its uniformity throughout the year. It contains, in all probability, the diff ferent carbonates, and that is the cause of the youth-retaining qualities whicl Indians attribute to it.
 The secret was let out few days ago by an old hunter, who was familiar witf tho Indians and the spring long befor, this place existed in the fervid imagin. ation of John H. King. They hav' thrown sanctity around it, and fol years have been in the habit of drink ing of its life-giving principles and O immersing the younger members of th' tribe in its mystical depths. They i'm ] aginc that its source lies amid the per petual fires that radiate from the centr. of the earth, and that the fountain i. presided over by the father of the Indian race, who IS doomed throughout al time to regulate the temperature of tht spring for the benefit of those whe dread to see the footprints of old tim' i mar their classic features.---[S St. Pau Globe

A Celebrated Bull Fighter.

Frascuelo bore the proud title of the first sword of the kingdom of Arayon and Castile," and was the champion torero or bull fighter of Spain. He leaves . fortune amounting to over $1, COG, 900, accumulated during the long years which he has devoted to his haz- ardous calling. The customary fec and share of receipts which he was in the habit of receiving for ci performance amounted to $sOoO. When invited re- gently to proceed to Mexico for short season he made the following terms: A sum of $2oo, 900 guaranteed, half of which to be payable in advance, IS first class tickets for himself and his follow CTS from Madrid via Paris to New York, and railway transportation thence to Mexico in spe cial car,, and lastly the right of giving two performances for his own personal benefit. The negoti- ations were still in progress when he died. Frascuclo always asserted that there was but little danger ia his pro- fession when once the trick was acquired, but he invariably added, provided the bull had never performed before," ex- perience soon rendering these animals as willy as the torc' os themselves. The bull which killed Frascuelo had, it seems, appeared ia public at least ono, before. Just at the exciting moment of tho cogida, when tho espada waves his littlo red flag in the bulls face prepara- tory to giving him the coup do grace with his sword just under the shoulder, tho animal suddenly swervcd to one side, and with one terrific sweep of its head tore open the body of the famous espada. Tho latter, however, with iadomitabie courage and presence of mind, devoted ,ll his remaining strength to giving tho fatal thrust to tho bull, and, notwith- standing his mortal and terrible wound, 50 unerring was h,s aim, so steady his wrist, that the animal rolled over dead in its tracks. Borne from the arena on ! strctcher, amidst indcscri bable excite nent he was taken to his home, where, surrounded by his charming wife and children, he expired few days later, leaving Mauzantini, the ex-station- master, who visited New York about a year ago on his way home from Havana, IS his successor to the torero champion. ,hlp.-[ New York Times.
