The Vermont farmer is not without
them. Take the dairy scourge, tuber
culosis. There is not another State
which is making such real Roadway
against the disease. tuberculosis is
one of the worst things in the world to
let alone. The only way to cope with
it is to wisely attack it, and this is just
what the cattle commissioners have
done. Probably the time will come
when Vermont can declare herself
practically free from it, and then it
may rightly be expected that some of
the money which the state has paid out,
and the farmers have lost, will come
back. Just as sure as any State lets it
alone, that State is laying up future sOr-
row. Prompt, active measures are de-
manded, and that is just what is being
done here in Vermont.

A DOG.

Saw a Good Hat About To BE Run Over
and Carefully Removed 1t.
w. A. Halsey tells a neat dog story,
which he says win be verified by Ar
chitect G. A. Staehlin, says the Newark
Sunday Call. One breezy morning
about ten days 6 they were riding
down Market street upon the rear of
a trolley car when the car passed over
a nice, light, soft hat, which had
blown between the tracks. The hat
was not injured, but the wind gave it
a little firt after the car had passed
and dropped it fairly upon one of the
rails. A big New York car was COM
ing and ahead of it a big mongrel
pointer dog was trotting along. The
dog glanced at the hat, looked back at
the car, and then picking up the hat
in his TEEN ran over to the curb and

A Bad Monkey.

Mr.. Texter, proprietor Of Ulmer park,
on Gravesend Beach, l.. l., has a mon
key in his menagerie that is credited
with some queer pranks. He likes
whisky, beer and wine, takes a drink
whenever he can get it, and like many
Of the human species goes on a spree
once in a while. That is, he quits his
cage and disappears for a time. Whetn-
er he leaves the park and goes to Coney
island or Bath beach is a question, al
though 1t is reported he has been seen
in both places. If he returns home In
the night and finds hat he is locked
out he gets in by breaking a pane or
glass. That he is bitterly opposed TO
the Raines law is evident from the TACT
that one day when a copy OF the law
was lying in a chair near his cage ne
came out, tore it into shreds and ate 1t.
Like some human men this monkey is
a ~wIfe-beater. A much smaller female
monkey occupies the cage with him and
her face and head always bear marks
OF his cuffs and blows.

She Is q Woman of Rare Self-Posses-

A singular fact about Queen Victoria
joyed exceptional good health, and that
ever at her present advanced age h is
unusually strong and well, but that she
has had more hair-breadth escapes
than any other sovereign in history,
says the New York Journal. No fewer
than seven attempts have been made Cd
her life, and these have been occasions
when the queen has seemed face to face
with death. Hyde Park was the scene
of the first attempt en- the queens lie,
which was made by a youth of II, VINO
on the 10th of July, 1910, fred at her
majesty with a pistol. The prince con-
sort, to whom the queen had been mar
ried a few months before, happily saw
the youth in time to draw his wife
down beside him, so that the ball
passed over her head. The mad youth
was for some time confined in Bedlam,
and was afterward allowed to go TO
Australia. Only two years passed away
before the second attempt, when, al
most on the same spot, a man named
Francis fired at the queen as she was
again driving with the prince. The
shot missed and Francis was sentenced
TO death for high treason, the sentence
being afterward committed to transpor-
tation for life by desire OF the queen.
Strangely enough, on the very day her
majesty's clemency became known, a
.hunchback named Bean, a mere youth,
made another attempt to injure the
queen. He was transported for seven
years. Twenty-one years ago, when
the queen was crossing to Gasport from
Osborne, there was a collision with the
royal yacht, in which three persons per-
ished. But once more her life was pre-
served. On many other occasions the
