TIL. Language of the Face.

The faculty of trt!th-that is, the love
OF its indicated By the muscle which
surrounds the eye, causing folds and
wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the
muscle which causes perpendicular
wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full
ness and wrinkles under the eye, for
which some persons are remarkable, in
dictate the love of mathematical accura-
cy; and curving upward from the lower
angle of the eye and eyebrow indicate
probity or personal truthfulness. There
are three degrees of the faculty of just
ice. The first is y kind of exactness or
strict accuracy in small money matters,
which some people would call closeness,
and is indicated by singular perpen-
d1cular wrinkle OF line between the eye
brows. The second is disposition to
require justice in others, and is indicat-
ed by two perpendicular lines OF wrin1-
les, one on each side of the center-a
very common sign. The third degree is
consciousness, OF the disposition to
apply the rule of justice to ones self,
and is indicated by three or more wrink-
les, OF lines, especially noticeable, ex-
tending above the eyebrow when the
muscle is in action. The love of COM
mand is indicated by one or more short,
transverse wrinkles across the root OF
the nose, exactly between the eyes. 1t
may be seen in great military command
ers, in masters and teachers, and in
those generally who arc fond of exercis-
ing authority. In those who are want
ing in the power to command, and have
no desire for responsibility, this sign is
absent. The faculty of command fire.
quently acts with that part OF justice
which reprimands or requires others to
do right, and both together produce
that frowning and lowering brow which
is so terrible to evil-doers or to those
who love to be approved rather than
condemned. -PhrenOlolicQl Journal

Liouor Men i,arred.

The hottest fight the Grand Lodge of
knights Of Pythias has known for years
occurred at Cincinnati over a resolution
to admit wholesale LIQUOR dealers and
brewers and their travelling statesmen to
membership in the order. The debate
was heated and sharp and many amend
ments were introduced to confuse and
mislead, but vote was reached after
many delays and resulted in very posi-
tive majority, something like 125 in a
vote of 500 against the proposition. A
year ago it carried by but four majority.

Winter Health Resorts.

The Sa9,jtario,1 gives some common
sense advice to invalids with chronic
pulmonary disease in search Of homo
for the winter. Cease troubling your
selves, it says, about the range OF the
thermometer, the height OF the hills OF
mountains, or with the certificates Of
persons who wish to say kind word
for this or that hotel, or the kindly
treatment received. Study the weather
charts; and the place which has the
largest proportion Of clear days-places
which will admit Of outdoor exercise
daily, are the best. Clothing will do
the rest. Cold climate and clear
weather, in clean places, free from
dust, and sufficient wooden clothing,
are only equaled-not supposedly
the balmy air Of Southern resort, with
only an equal proportion OF clear days.
Not the northern or the southern loca-
ton, but the clear weather and clear
atmosphere of a place, are the condi-
tions most favorable to such invalids.
For this latitude, in conjunction with
agreeable conditions, invalids will do
we'll to consider the advantages of New
port. For persons who, in the opinion
of their physicians, or from supersensi-
tiveness to cold, require warmer
climate, the Bermudas offer unsurpass-
able attractions. Florida and the. gulf
coast from Galveston to New Orleans
also present delightfully."- balmy win
ter beat for both sportsmen and inva-
lids, who would be much out Of doors.
For drier atmosphere, go to the high
lands in the interior Of the Carolinas
and Georgia; and for those who would
go further, New Mexico and Southern
California offer conditions of healthiul-
ness equal to any in the world.

THAT EXTRA SESSION.

The Boston Journal of recent date had
the following Montpelier dispatch:
Governor Page will soon issue his proc
lamation convening the general assembly
In special session To take action regarding
the direct tax due the State from the
United States under the refunding act
The governor will also recommend in his
call for an extra session that action be
taken for ceding to the federal govern
ment site for the proposed new public
building at st. Adams for which Con-
gress appropriated 100000. The legisla-
tive session will probably open on Tues
day, August 25, and continue two days.
The cost of session of this length will
be about $1,000. 1t is not likely that any
general legislation will be attempted, as
public sentiment is pronounced in opposi-
ton to it. There has been no extra session
OF the Vermont legislature since 1875,
when the general assembly convened on

CURRENT COMMENT,

1t is thought that the extra session of
the legislature can do all the necessary
work in day, but it is not thought that
they will. The governor can set them
on, hut he cannot call them off. BY the
way, the village of Harwick wants its
charter amended Hardwick Gazette.
Probably Secretary Proctor isn't far
from correct when he says that most of
the Vermont farmers will continue to
vote the Republican ticket. Nothing
short of an earthquake could ever induce
the average Vermont farmer to change
his politics, and even then his conversion
wouldn't last over night. The Vermont
Democracy will continue to be small
and select Boston Herald.

The Burlington Free Press predicts
that within five years it will be difficult
to find an unoccuped mill, factory or
farm in Vermont. 1t certainly is begin
ing to look that way, and if true of
Vermont it will be equally true of Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut. Those who
believe such a state of things is coming
are already quietly buying real estate
in the farming towns, to our knowledge.
and just now are buying very cheap.
Thousands of people will wake up some
fine morning not many years hence to
Iind the price of farms in New England
has advanced from 100 to 500 per cent
and wish they had caught on while
real estate was within their MEANS

The amiable Prince George of Greece
confesses to having been somewhat an
noyed at Omaha when three men came
into the car, rushed up to him ard shook
his hand with great force, one of them
eXclaiming, Hello George! My names
George, too.' The prince correctly re-
marks that in Europe such an accident
would not occur. No doubt. There his
royal highness, or serene highness, as
the case might be, would be securely
locked in from vulgar contact, and even
curiosity would be reprimanded by an Off
cous police. But, after all, that hearty
shake of the hand did the Prince no harm.
If it was ruder salute than he receives
from his courters, it was also heartier
and more sincere. Besides it was a sa-
lutte from an American sovereign, and
should be appreciated accordingly

DON'T WORRY,

The Burlington Free Press of yester-
day argues at great length in opposition
to the views expressed by Col. George
w. Hooker relative to the power of the
legislature to choose Senator Edmunds'
successor. Our esteemed contemporary
holds that the legislature cannot elect
till vacancy occurs, and that that wont
be till Mr.. Edmunds' resignation takes
effect, that is, November l; Mr.. Hooker
thinks it can. Good lawyers are gen.
orally agreed, we believe, that the Free
Press notions are right, and that is
clearly the position Gov. Page main
tains. If he desired the legislature to
relieve him of the responsibility of
naming a successor to Mr.. Edmunds, he
could just as well call the special session
in November, when an election could be
made without question. The fact that
he gets the wisdom and virtue into line
in August is plain intimation by the
governor that he doesn't want legisla-
tive help in filling the vacancy. The
Free Press may therefore possess its
soul in peace oa his point.

DROWNED In The CREEK.

The village has been good deal stirred
up since Sunday by the disappearance of
Mary, the seven-year-old daughter of
Simon and Mary McMann. The body
was found in the creek on Wednesday
and the funeral was attended from the
house at IL o'clock yesterday morning.
The family live in the house on the
north side of the road Just at the entrance
to the paper mill'' bridge, half a mile
from here. Back of the house is the mill
pondiof the Green Mountain Pulp Co. s
upper mill. The banks of the stream are
steep and rocky and the water in lthe
pond is deep. The little girl was asst
seen alive about seven o'clock on Satur-
day evening by the elder Mrs. Gotta, "a
neighbor. She was then not far from
the bank. Examination of the spot was
made the next day. There was found on
a narrow shelf of rock the imprint of a
small rubber and there were also other
evidences, such as broken twigs from the
trees, that a person had slipped down
there. The child had on no shoes, Satur-
day, but rubbers. As soon as the loss of
the child was reported, the neighbors and
men from the village began to search for
her. The pond was dragged and the
quest was kept up till Wednesday after
noon, when Guy Woodwork discovered
the body in the creek about ten feet from
the east shore and almost mile down
stream from the pulp mill dam. He took
it up into his boat and it was conveyed
to the house.
The family came from Ireland about a
year ago. There is one child older than
Mary and two or three younger. The
father is employed at the pulp mill.
There were some suspicious circum-
stances about the case suggestive of foul
play and yesterday morning an inquiry
was begun before the Hon. l.. d. FL
dredge, justice of the peace. He, with
States Attorney Bliss and First Select
man f. j. Matthews, looked over the
premises where the people live, where
the child was last seen and where the
body was found, and Doctors Sutton and
Eddy examined the body. The hearing
was then adjourned to l o'clock yester-
day afternoon, at the town hall. 1t was
concluded just before o'clock. The
verdict was that the child came to her
death by accidental drowning.

1t is hopeful sign that Vermont news
papers have of late exhibited. They
seem to have discovered within a few
years that there are home topics worth
discussing and have turned their attention
largely from the state of the nation to the
State of Vermont and its interests. The
newspaper of fifty years ago had its
editorial page filled up with long speeches
in Congress or with prosy disquisitons
on the tariff or some similar theme about
which its editor knew little and its read
ers cared less. That fashion continued
up to not very remote date in Vermont
journalism and may be it isn't quite out
of vogue yet, in spots. But happily it is
prevailing less and less. Certainly the
newspapers of the State. if they are good
for anything, ought to be helpful to their
readers in home affairs, and that is what
they are every day becoming more and
more.

Jan. II of that year for the purpose of
taking legislative action in regard to re-
building the State Reform school build
ing. which had been destroyed by fire at
Waterbury in December, 1874. The call
for this special session was issued by
Gov. Asahel Peck Dec. 81, 1874, the sub
ject matter to be considered being stated
IN the proclamation. An attempt to con-
slider general legislation was made at the
extra session, but failed, Joint resolu-
ton being adopted by both houses to the
effect that no bill or resolution would be
entertained which did not relate to or
grow out of the subject matter of the
proclamation or some matter recon-
mended by the governor. The special
session of 1875 lasted two days and eight
bills relating to the reform school were
passed.
The above contains some information
category is the statement that no general
legislation is likely to be considered.
The probability is that many communi-
ties and individuals have matters which
they desire the Legislature to consider,
and if this is the case they will get a
hearing, no matter what sort of procla-
nation Gov. Page may make. The peo-
pie undoubtedly think the reason for the
existence of the legislature is legislation
and that when it is in session all legitimate
legislative business may fairly come up
for action. If Gov. Page doesn't want
general business done, his safer plan is
to give up the idea of a special session
altogether.

A New STATION.

The erection of passenger station in
Middlebury this season seems to be as
sured. General Superintendent Foss was
in town on Monday, bringing the plans
for the proposed structure, which he
showed to ex-Gov. Stewart and few
other prominent citizens. The site of tho
station will be the triangular piece of
land between the main line of the road
and Seymour street. 1t will stand some
where about opposite the residence Of
Mr.. Judd. 1t is to be of wood and its gen.
eral style will resemble that of the new
station at Shelburn.
Objections are of course raised to
placing the station on the west side of
the tracks, but that is not the worst fea-
ture of the matter. The plans contem-
plate building which will be altogether
inadequate to the needs of the public
the ladies' waiting room being only Is
feet nine inches one way by II feet the
other, and the mems waiting room but l Z
feet square. On ordinary days these
might do, but it should be borne in mind
that this place sees frequent large as
semblages of people, who come by cars
to the courts, the fair, commencement
and other like affairs, and that it is the
station where the residents of wide ex-
tent of country take the trains when
there are special events in the large towns
north and south. 1t is most certainly to
be hoped that the railroad management
will revise the plan in respect to size, if
they can't or wont change the location.
