CURE FOR LUNATICs.

Popular Science Monthly has the fol-
lowing paragraph Of the treatment, in
the Middle Ages, Of persons of un-
sound mind water and prayer seem
TO nave been thought effective:
"The monks were the physicians dur
ing the dark ages, and the monasteries
offered quiet retreat and seclusion for
many insane, together With sympathy
and protection which could not be found
elsewhere. Spiritual agencies were ev-
erywhere popularity believed to be most
efTieacious In the cure Of madness, and
many and long were the pilgrimages
made TO the shrines of those saints who
were believed to have special influence
over the mentally afflicted, and m5ny
miraculous cures were said to nave
been brought about through eXor'lsm
and prayer. There were many wells
through Europe and the British Isles,
each with It's particular saint TO which
the insane were brought to battle ana
to pray. At st. Minis pool, In Eng
land, It was the custom to plunge the
patients backward into the water and
drag them to and fro until their excite
ment was subdued II they showed
signs Of recovering thanks were offered
In nelghboring church, but If not the
treatment was continued until no nope
remained. From the seventh century
even to the present day lunatics have
made pllgrimages 10 the shrine Of ST.
Dymphna, at Gheel and here the first
colony for the insane originated through
a slow process Of evolution, and stands
today as the hest representative OF the
community or family system OF caring
for the insane"

New Zealand as it Is.

BosroN, Feb. 6, 1901-Everv one
knows that Australia and New Zealand
are trying many OF the theories Of social
and political reform, government own
ership, the single tax and other equally
radical experiments. But who knows
how they are working in actual practice
Theorists and doctripaires have written
many books on the subject, but the prac-
tical, dispassionate, hard headed, expert
enced observer has not been heard from.
The Boston Sunday Globe will begin
next Sunday to publish a remarkable
series of letters from this latter point OF
view by Frank G. Carpenter, the famous
traveller and correspondent, whose writ
ings from every part of the world long
have been an attractive and instructive
feature of the Globe. Mr. Carpenter will
tell of things as he saw them, free from
prejudice, and describe fully and fairly
the land system, labor system, the fac
tories, railways, farms, domestic service,
gold mines, cities, and the government
of the strange, tar-away land on the
other side of the world This great
series will begin in next Sundays Globe,
and be equal TO the best of Mr. Carpen-
ter's work.

Fortunate BrattlebOrO.

Brattleboro has the well deserved re-
pututiou OF being little above the
average in most OF the good things that
go to make up a first class New England
town, but in one particular line this
fortunate town is so pre- elninently at the
front of the procession that few American
cities, large or small, can compare with
it. We refer Of course to BrattlebOro as
a musical center. In this line its fame is
not entirely because gifts chief manulac-
turing enterprise, for in that fair town
they occasionally have home talent con
certs OF the class that the crowned heads
of Europe delight to listen to. The
people are now looking forward
to a visit from the famous Russian
pianist, Ossip Gabrilawitsch, who is CIV
ing a series OF 40 concerts in this country
for which it is reported he is to receive
S4O,O 900 and expenses. II Brattleboro IS
thus favored it will be through the
generosity of the talented young foreign
er's manager, New York gentleman,
who has relatives in the organ city.

Vermont's rlineraI Resources.

The following comment OF the Bur
lington News, on the recent newspaper
discussions concerning our undeveloped
mineral resources does not apply to Chit
tenden county alone. Every county in
the state is more or less of a graveyard
OF enterprises Of this kind
THE loose talk about our mineral re-
sources is Just as silly and impracticabe
as the current talk about, investing
money in home enterprises. One would
think that all that was necessary was to
drive a pick into the earth and marble,
granite, asbestos, copper and every other
known ore would roll out ready tor use
and make us millionaires on the spot.
All this is a WEAKNESS to the flesh. Why,
millions of Enthusiastically millions OF
dollars-have been spent in the effort to
develop the marble quatries OF this god|
county OF Chittenden; and the millions
have been as absolutely lost as il thrown
into the middle of Lake Champaign
Other millions have been lost in similar
enterprises elsewhere in our beloved but
rocky state and we will do well to look
into the record little before Investing"
our last dollar in developing our min
eral resources We have mineral re-
sources all right, mind you, and undoubt
eddy there is lot of money in EN-; but
the cheap talk on the subject is Earring
to ones nerves. Let's ascertain first
the what and where and how of our

geologist, Will do it for us if we give bin

Her Maiden Name.

What was Queen Victoria's maiden
name? Well, Processes do not have very
distinct maiden names. as do girls of the
rank and file of humanity. Victoria S
family name is Guelph, house having
its origin in the times of Charlemagne.
In the course of centuries by intermar-
riage they founded families in Italy and
Germany. Among the latter was the
prncely house of Hanover and Bruins,
wick, to which the reigniug family of
England belongs. Alexandria Victoria
was the daughter of Edward, Duke of
Kent. fourth son OF King George the
Third, we'll known to our fathers.

Sir James Reid was the resident ply
stefan to Queen Victoria for more than
twenty years. He is a Scotchman, fifty
years old, and comes from a medical fam
lily. He was selected for the position he
held so long by the late Sir William Jen-
ner, who was, until his death, physician

Reid, who was made knight three years
ago, draws a salary Of 81, 500 from the
Crown and in addition was furnished with

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of the
approach OF an attack. Following this
hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. If
ChamberIain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn Of a
single instance in whichit has not proved
efectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty FIVE years

going to offer strong competition to the
United States in an important article VI
export. A River Plate fresh meat COM
many has Just contracted with a Euro
mean steamship company to install IN
each of its steamers a chilling apparatus
with capacity of fifteen hundred car
casses of beet. Three thousand carcasses
will be shipped to Southampton each
month, the average voyage from the
River Plate requiring about twenty-five
DAYS. The cattle will be almost entirely
grass fed and will make excellent beet.
The number than can be so exported
annually from Uruguay and Argentina
will approximate one million head. As
the class OF cattle (including crossbred
Hereford and Shorthorn stock slaught-
cred and shipped abroad will not cost,
on an average, above $50 United States
gold head the River Plate countries

then came the most bewildering lovely

beautiful gray gown stepped into view
and Nine Schumanu. Heink gave hel
wonderful art and voice to their delight

devoted admirers, it was profound
pleasure, but to the children who hac

Vermont vs. New Jersey Justice.

In Montpelier last week the supreme
court rendered an adverse decision on
the exceptions taken in the case OF state
against Frank Shaw and on Wednesday
be was sentenced to be hanged on the
first Friday in February, 1908 The
crime for which Shaw is to suffer capital
punishment, was the shooting OF depu-
tY sheriff who was making an attempt
to recapture him after he had escaped
from the Windsor County Jail. The
story Of the affair is well known. Shaw
and his father were confined in the
county jail on the charge OF illegally kill
| inc deer. They escaped from the prison. A
great man hunt was organized, and over
the mountains of southern Vermont,
there was a chase for these fugiiyes
that furnished three states with excite,
ment of a rare quality for several days.
They were finally brought to bay and
when called upon to surrender the
Younger Shaw fired and fatally wound
ed Deputy Sheriff Hoffman.
He was tried at the county court and OF
course there was verdict Of guilty ofmur'
derin the first degree. The case went to the
supreme court and their duty, under the
law was straight as the road to the
cemetery. There was nothing to be done
but to carry out the law, and so, unless
legal Intervention comes, this wild and
ignorant son OF the mountains will two
years hence be hanged. A day or two
after this sentence was imposed four men
were taken to the New Jersey state
prison at Trenton to serve comparatively
short sentences. Three are to serve 80
years and one Is years. On their way
to the prison they were allowed to go |
into a saloon and have a few glasses of
hot whiskey before they went to don
their fantastic prison suits of red and
blue. These men, or rather the three
who received the longest terms, were
of a crime to find a parallel of
which one has to search the history of
the lowest savage tribes.
These three men, all of respectable
antilles and whose lives had been spent
n the vicinity of great centers of civiliza-
ion and culture enticed poor factory
,irl 16 years of age into a Patterson
saloon and drugged her wine. In the
ew hours between that time and when
n the early morning they left her dead
body by the road side crimes were
committed beside which the shooting Of
Mr.. Hoffman seems trivial and insignfi-
amt Nevertheless these despcable city
bred murderers, will doubtless live to
come out of their prison and spend their
asst DAYS in freedom while the ignor-
ant halftamed Vermont boy, whose eX
oerience had perhaps taught him that
nan was his worst enemy and his rifle
lis best friend must go to the gallows for
lighting for what he considered his
liberty
