1t is too late day for Vermont as
state to plan for an exhibit at the st.
Louis exposition. In order to make the
necessary appropriation It would be nee
essary to cali a special session Of the leg
islature, which would cause large addi-
tionai expense even though the session
lasted for only an afternoon. The talk,
emanating chiefly from the fair committee,
that the railroads might be induced TO
carry the legislative members to and from
their homes free Of charge, in case spec
ial session Il called, Is more hot air than
anything else. tits scarcely likely that
the railroads would be so philanthropic as
that Even If they should agree to carry
the legislators on free passes, which idea
may as we'll be eliminated now as later,
there is the objection to accepting such a
charity on the very grounds which caused
bill to be introduced in the last legsla-
ture, to prohibit the granting of railroad
passes to legislative officials. But trans
portation is only one Of the expenses to be
met II special session is called, and the
costs would more than balance the gain.
Let Us then suffer the modification Of be-
ing one Of two states OF the union unrep-
resented at the fair, but let us not add to
our foolishness by attempting, at this late
day, 70 get together an III conceived aad
hastily prepared exhibit.

ure, reverted to the time when the VIII
son bill was pending, Mr. Crisp being
speaker, saying that he commended the
minority to a study Of their own par-
liamentary history.
Mr.. Grosvenor (O9 said the minority
wanted to mutilate the bin and say it

don't want child OF that kind born in

strange Premonition Of Death.


A sound like a distant roll of drums
or a carriage driving up to the door IS
supposed to forerun events of impor
lance III several families.
A well known member of the house
Of lords, In whose family fine ghostly
sound of wheels is said to be a signal
Of death, heard it one evening when he
was dining with a number Of Turf club
friends. many Of whom are still alive.
Immediately the sound came TO bis
ears he sent a servant to see what car
riage had driven up to the door. The
servant returned and told him that no
carriage was 10 be seen.
After moments silence Lord
said calmly:
'rhen II is my hearseD
OF course his friends imagined him to
be joking Who would take such a re-
mark seriously?
But Lord - died shortly afterward.
Is 1t possible that such warnings real
" occur in some families or does tradi-
ton work SO powerfully on the imagi-
nation of those whom it concerns as to
bring about their death?

A Russian traveller who recently ar.

GUS idea seems TO be entertained in
England as TO the progress Of the Sibe-
rian railroad. Over 1,400 miles Of line
have yet to be constructed, and there
are several breaks presenting such enor-
nous engineering difficulties that It will
take years to ink them up. Moreover,
he adds, it is evident TO an expert that,
owing to the severity Of the climate and
the amateur way in which the work
has been done, much Of the line In cen

"The morality of the young men
Of this country is just as high as the
young women demand" said a min
lister recently in Chicago, and this is
true OF every community in the
United States. The young women of
any town, city or neighborhood can
fix the standard Of morality for the
young men and just In proportion to
their indifference and leniency on
the score OF morality will the young
men indulge in questionable practices
and immoral tendencies. Gard play
ing and wine drinking among young
men in nine CASES out of ten comes
from their association with young
ladies who look with favor upon these
steps towards other and graver
offences against the moral law
