LIFE AND THE KNIFE.

VivisectOrs Not Merciful In Using An
aesthetics as They Claim.
Physicians are rather fond of telling the
public that in experiments on living ami
mails pain is reduced to minimum by the
use of anRsthetjcs. Occasionally being
turns up who accepts this statement, but
we think he is rare. Mr.. Philip j. Pea
body. in the columns of the Boston Tran
script, gave a few interesting facts on this
subject:
81 have never yet, in all my experience,
seen any anpsthetic in, or about, in use i'll
any laboratory, with one exception. have
u personal acquaintance with many vivi-
sectors, including number of the best
known ones in this country and Europe,
and have hundreds of times converscd with
them. No vivisector has ever claimed or
pretended to Use any anRSthGtic, in CONVEX
sation with me. They have always freely
admitted that they never used them when
ever the subject came up.
'In the one exception noted, dog
which was about two hours undergoing u
very agoni2ing experiment on the blad-
der, had trachcotOmy performed, solely to
stop his hOwls as | saw and was also in
formed After this a small rubber vessel
was at times balanced some distance away
from his nose and for few times only,
and for few seconds at time only, it
seemed slightly to relieve his agony. The
use of this chlUroform told me more elo-
quently than volumes would have done
how utterly false was the protense that
animals are saved from suffering by anRs-
thetics. This dog was breathing through
the hole cut in his neck as much as his
nose As IA famous English doctor said
it is the public who are anRsthetized, not
the animals"
The doctors must have their fun, but it
is a grewsome sport, and the appetite
seems to grow with what it feeds on. Peo
pie with kinder feelings, however, are of
Tended by the brazen insolence that pGrpe
trates these disgusting brutalities in the
name of science. These Interesting eX-
perimcnts' bear the same relation to sci
ence as do the fortunes of the inquisition

eennington Center Notes.

Mrs. r. w. Roberts, who has been in
disposed of late, is on the mend.
Intelligence has been received here of
the death of Geo. Jennings, the young
est son of John Jennings, of Cleveland,
Ohio.
1t is pretty generally known that pa
per is being circulated among the prop
erty holders here protesting against an
electric road being built through our
principal street to the monument, and
in fairness to all concerned we will ven
ture few words upon this subject To
begin with, we are living in progress
sive age Nothing can expect to remain
as it is, or as it was, and the Centre vii
lage is destined to be one with Benning-
ton proper, although the name of ''up
town" may never be obliterated. Monu-
ment avenue is beyond question hand
some street. aud the principal objection
offered is that it will be disfigured by
electric poles, etc. In measure, this
may be so, but let us still reason togeth-
err We cannot expect this road Will be
built for fun, it must be financial sue
cess. The idea of building the road
through the lots is folly. This is not a
business to be side tracked. Then
again, we hear that our city friends will
leave us and that their property here will
be for sale We would ask, where can
they go that there is not an electric road
being built, or one in prospect? The
Scientific American tells us that eight
hundred electric roads have been built
in this country within the last eight
years. In short, while we enjoy the
peace and quiet of typical New Eng
land village, yet our close proximity to
the busting city of Bennington forces us
to believe that we must submit to the in
evitaole and yield our treasured streets
to this electric age.

1t is a mistake to clean tea trays with
boiling water, for this is liable to crack
and spoil the varnish. The best way is to
sponge them over with warm water and
soap, then dry and polish with -four. Trays
often get marked from hot teapots, jugs,

should be rubbed with little sweet oil

for the earnest consideration of the or
ganization. The Federation of West
ern Metalliferous Miners includes
membership of nearly 10000, which
will be represented in the convention
by ninety delegates, including those
from Colorado. Wyoming. New Mex
leo. Arizona, Nevada, California. Ore
gon, Washington. Idaho, Montana and
the Dakotas. Delegates are expected
to arrive tomorrow morning At pres
ent John Carver. of Riverton, repre-
senting the miners of the San Juan,
is the only one here. President John
Calderwood, of Victor, the presiding
officer during the convention, and a
delegate from Cripple Creek, are ex-
pected here this evening.
The approaching convention IS con-
sidered the most important of any
in the seven years history of the or
ganization. During its sessions two
important ubjects-affiliating with the
American Federation of Labor and with
the coal miners-will be urged, and tie
desired result undoubtedly attained.
Heretofore the Federation of Western
Metalliferous miners has fought re-
markedly shy of utilization with any
other labor organization. A strong
prejudice against certain nationalities.
