Medical knowledge in Novels.

Wilkie Collins made speciality of his
medical knowledge, and it was upon
this account that he was induced to un-
dertake an antivivisection novel, which
he published under the name Of "Heart
and Science" The work was equally
unsatisfactory both to the persons who
inspired it and to the general public.
Wilkie Collins effort in this direction
was a complete failure, and his medical
men and his wonderful drugs could
never have existed outside of his OVID
imagination.
In Dickens "Tale Of Two Cities"
where Sydney Carton substitutes him
self for the condemned Evremonde, we
have premonitions of the chloroform
which was to be discovered fifty years
later-the chloroform of popular imagi-

Brier Root.

Brier root, Of which pipes are made,
comes from the root Of kind of shrub
that was formerly dug in great guam
titles in the south of France, but now
it comes mostly from Spain, Italy and
Algiers. In the mountain forests the
roots are sometimes found bigger than

out after the old fashion they are torn

PRICE THREE CENTS.

Have the Germans solved the prob
lem of aerial navigation, and are they
keeping the secret for war purposes?
This is the startling question other ma
tions may well ask. Certain it is that
German balloons have been able to trav-
el high in air over the Russian frontier
in Poland, take observations of the for
tiications of Warsaw and other places,
pour an intense electric light upon what
ever spot seemed dark, examine it leis-
urely and then steer away again to-
ward home, or in any direction desired,
the balloon being under perfect control.
1t is said that storage batteries supply
electricity for the motor, but these bat
teries are necessarily very heavy. If
the Germans have the secret of utilizing
them in an airship and steering in any
direction, then there is nothing that can
prevent Germany from conquering any
nation in Europe. A shell or two
dropped from balloon would destroy
whole city, and it would be helpless.
There is no gunnery science at present

The Barton Monitor, one of Full
lers' organs says:
"During the session of Legislature
of 1886, when Colonel Levi X. Full
ler was lieutenant-governor, and by
virtue of his office president of the
senate great cry was made against
the Board of Agriculture, and bill,
having been passed by the house, to
abolish the same, came before the
senate. The discussion in that body
was brief and the vote upon the bill a
tie. Col. Fuller cast his vote against
the bill and the board was saved"
A writer in the Farmers Advo,
cate quotes the senate record to show
this to be straight lie. No bill tc
abolish the board of agriculture was
before the Senate of 1886, and con.
sequently no such vote was ever
taken. Capt. Blake, in his zeal fol
his brother fighter with his mouth
should be more careful of his state
ments. These things kick back
sometimes.

The Fuller boom was in attendance
upon the recent State convention and
undertook to draw It's Shiny folds in
and around the state capital, but it
was dismal failure, not near so sue
cessful as the February effort. An
attempt was made to obtain vote of
the delegates, but of all present, over
600 but 50 could be induced to vote
for Fnller. This is surprising when
it is considered that this convention
was so largely made up Of "old
stage~s," the people nowhere taking
any interest in the matter, whatever.
In fact no one cared a snap who went
as delegates or who were sent to
Minneapolis, for that matter. So
this afforded grand opportunity for
those fellows who are always ready to
take anything, and who are usually
controlled by the bosses.
Poor Fuller boom

from Burlington to Brattleboro, with
its head reaching into North Hinsdale
(where it is looking for doughnuts)

while at Burlington the Free Press is
trying to blow the breath of life into
its tail end.

A Hearty Word for Fletcher.
st. Albans Messenger:

lne large gathering OF fepuollcans
at the conventions in Montpelier and
Rutland during the present week
afforded excellent opportunities to
Judge of the sentiment of the republi-
cans of Vermont with regard TO the
gubenatolial nominee of the party.
1t was evident that the desire for
the selection of the candidate whose
nomination would insure the largest
republican majority, irrespective of
personal preferences, was uppermost
in the minds of nearly all Of those who
were in attendance upon the conven-
tions, either as delegates or specta-
; tors. The Messenger has repeatedly
given expression to its opinion that
the maintenance of the usual majority
in presidential years can be most sure
ly effected by the nomination of a
representative of the agricultural in
terests of the state.
Neither misrepresentation as to its
position, nor unfounded insinuations
as to its motives, have changed that
opinion.
A careful consideration of the pres
ent situation has given u convincing
evidence that the selection of Henry
A. Fletcher of Cavendish as the re-
publican candidate for governor will
insure large majority, and, in this
belief, it urges his nomination.
OF his ability to discharge, not only
the technical duties of the office; but
the responsible tasks that will devolve
upon the chief executive of the state
during the coming two years, no ques-
tion has or can be made. He is a
representative farmer in the best and
hroadest meaning Of the term. He
was soldier who won promotion by
loyal service in defense of the repub-
lie. He has had large legislative ex-
perience, he has discharged with fidel-
ity many important trusts committed
to him by his fellow citizens and he
has not sought and does not seek the
office.
The only objection that has been
or can be urged against the nomina
tion of Henry A. Fletcher rests upon
his expressed opinion that the lieuten-
ant governor is not, by virtue of his
office, entitled to promotion, and this
IS not worthy a moments consdera-
1,on If, as the Messenger belives, his
candidacy would more snrely than
that of any other republican, whose
name has been prominently consider
ed, accomplish the desired result.
OF the character and ability of the
gentleman who is the principal com
petitor of Mr.. Fletcher for the nomi-
nation, the Messenger has spoken in
terms of highest commendation. He
is true and loyal republican, and if
he is chosen to be the standard bearer
of the republicans of Vermont in the
September election he will have no
more earnest supporter than the Mess
enger, but it does not believe that his
nomination would bring the success
that is essential to make the influence
of this state az important factor in
the great contest in November.
| 1t does believe that the nomination
of Henry A. Fletcher would, and, in
loyalty to its convictions and in the
desire for the success of the party, it
advocates his nomination.
