THAT EXTRA SESSION.

The probability of an extra ses-
sions being called in August to deal
with that $4,000 direct tax, and
to arrange for the site of the new
public building in ST. Adams, stirs
up the Rutland Herald and sets
that paper to hoping that the agri-
cultural college matter may be taken
up-a theme concerning which, by
the way, the Herald is very sensitive.
1t seems hardly probable that the
extra session, if called, would devote
its time to any other topics than the
two which demand immediate at
tention, and there would be no call
for a prolonged stay at the capital,
even though the hay crop may have
been gathered and work on the farm
be not rushing"
With the direct tax fund once safe
ly IN the treasury, some attempt may
be made towards putting it to
special use. The governor himself is
understood to favor using it for
school purposes, and may possibly
urge that plan in his message. But
it will not be absolutely necessary
to settle, at the special session, just
how the money shall be used-though
undoubtedly the subject will be dis
cussed. August 25 is the date fixed
upon for the session, and the gather
ing should be as short, sharp and
decisive as possible

He invented the metallic thermome-
ter and the metallic barometer, and
made selfregistering therm ometer
which runs by clockwork and goes
eight days on a stretch. He built
the first sewing machine with the
shuttle carried on a carriage, and it
is now preserved in the Sheldon
museum in Middlebury. Another
curiosity of his make was a watch
which, with the exception of a few
portions of the works, was fashion
ed entirely out of ivory.

THE SUGAR LICENSES.

Notwithstanding predictions to
the contrary in certain quarters, a
good many farmers in Vermont will
make sugar next season partially
under government auspices. The
manner in which the applications
poured in during the few days prior
to July 1 would seem to indicate
that the sugar-makers had decided,
al at once, at rather late day,
that the bounty was worth getting !;
and it is safe to say that if there had
been two or three weeks more time
a much larger number Of them
would have been heard from.
Enough blanks have been returned,
properly filled out, to warrant say
ing that over two thousand licenses
will be issued, notwithstanding the
large amount of red tape connected
with the securing of them. This
will give fair opportunity for test
ing just how much there is for the
farmer in the bounty, and next
springs reports from the sugar bush
will be noted with interest.

President Harrison's trip to the

seems to have impressed him very
favorably, and he talks about it as
one should talk who realizes what
grand country this one of ours is,
and takes proper pride therein. He
was the recipient of many an ova-
ton at the hands of the people, but
this he does not take unduly unto
himself, rather regarding it, as he
says, "as tribute of respect to the
presidential Office, and of hospitality
and courtesy toward the individual"
Especially does the president en-
phasize what he found at the South
speaking thus of developments
there: The mountain regions of
the Carolinas, of Tennessee, and of
Georgia, with the new industrial
communities which have sprung into
existence, cannot fail to interest

The State Board of Health has re-
Gently issued a circular giving in
structions as to the prevention Of
the spread of consumption, and care
of people who are stricken with that
malady DIR. Hamilton of Richford,
who had chiefly to do with the
preparation of the circular, says
that while consumption cannot be
readily cured, even when durable,
the disease can be prevented if those
who are predisposed to tuberculous
diseases will take proper precautions,
and the aim of the circular is to point
out such precautions as any one of
ordinary intelligence can observe.
The board do well in thus throw
ing out suggestions looking towards
the preservation of the public health,
and especially as touching this dis
ease; for it goes without saying that
carelessness in the treatment of
persons affected and recklessness on
the part of persons predisposed to
this ma1ady are often directly re-
ponsib1e for serious results.
