Vermont needs one or two good old
fashioned hangings and this epidemic of
murders that is affecting the state will
come to an end. In the opinion of this
paper the silly talk about abolishing the
death penalty which some papers delight
to indulge in has something to do with
the alarming increase in the number of
these crimes. -Swanton Courier

Good for that Poultney justice of the
peace. Let his name be remembered.
Justice Walker. He fined an Italian
fifty dollars for shooting robins. If this
treatment would extend to other sec
tons the law would be held in greater
respect and the public would be pleased.
The Italian workmen in and near Rut
land have all summer created great
havoc among robins and other birds.
No variety of insectivorous or singing
birds has escaped their pot, and these
by these poachers. A few more Justice
Walkers are needed.

yesterday. the first at the university
building, the second at Barratt hall,
and the third. which was entirely So
cial in its nature, at the Ladies' Lit
eTary club house. The meetings have
been lighter than at any Of the resent
meetings the topics given have been
almost all faithful in appearing for the
subjects assigned. The programme
committee. to whom is due credit for
the excellence of the programme ar
ranged. is to be congratulated on the
outcome of its many labOrs. The even
ing meeting of Friday was one espe-
cIally interesting and satisfactory,
presenting to the federation two able
speakers on two subjects of national
interest.
The demonstration in domestic sci
ence which had been planned as a part
of the mornings programme yester-
day was found TO be impVatticable as
Saturday affair, and although il was
dispensed with. a more practical dem
onstration Of the excellent work OF the
domestic science department was made

luncheon to the visitors. The class in
domestic science. under the leadership
of Miss Lachmand and Miss Althea

matter and with Mrs. McVicker pre-
siding at the coffee urn at a beauti-
fully decorated table served a buffet

credit TO the young girls and their
teachers. Earlier in the programme
Mrs. Hutchinson gave an interesting

tionaI committee. saying that the three
lines of work planned " special ef-
fort were the establish cent of free
kindergartens. the establishment of
manual training schools and the cleo
ton of women on school boards. The
first has been in a measure accom-
plishe dand the committee is working
diligently for the success of the latter.
Miss Alice Reynolds of Provo gave a
splendidly' prepared paper on New
Thought in Education" Miss Rey-
nClds spoke especially of the tendency
to give more in physical education
and more in manual endowment for the

scription of the work OF the National

employees. More than 800 young wO-
men in this institution are today
learning all lines of manual and do
nestle training, and the boys Of the
village have been allotted gardens for
their own practical work and use.
At the afternoon session one of the
strictly literary topics Of the eOnven-
ton was presented by Miss Ethel Paul

How Snakes Fascinate.

The cobra 6; the Cape fascinates
birds by coilng itself on a branch.
erecting its head and swinging to and
fro. Sundowner states that the snake
will go on "fascnating" and keeping
the bird twittering and unable to leave
the tree in which it is for hours" and
that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may be Il yarn but from
the curious fascination which nonter-
rifying objects, such as lark glitters.
have for some birds and their apparent
inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmcriZing power
of the serpent may be conjectured.
Movement. more or less regular, is al
ways part of the means of fascination
employed by snakes Their fondness
for music of any kind is not extended
to the sound of the human voice sing
ing, which snakes clearly do not appre-
ciate at all. They only care for ''in-
strumental music" which includes the
concertina. tomtom and Jews harp.
But from experiments made in this
country it was evident that they like
the bagpipes best.-Spectator.
