Honest John Mortified for Governor.

Editor of Vermont Phoenix;
Dear Sir Please permit me through
your valuable paper to say a few words
in regard to the nominee for governor for
the state of Vermont Would it not be
well, and for the best interest of the state
of Vermont and for the Republican party.
to nominate a man who will comma nd
the confidence and respect of every voter
in the state? That man is Honest John
H. Merifeld of Newfane, who cannot be
bought nor sold nor brbed by any undue
influence from rings, cliques or corrupt
political manipulation. Let us have Hon
est John, who will bring us a glorious vic
tory and that will rebound to our honor
and bring us up to the old time prestige
upon principles of Nermonts former
greatness.
Yours truly,

Animals Become Insane.

Insanity in the human subject is sup
posed by some to have no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many cases,
according to DR.. Sneilson, viii lead to
the permanent loss of self control
Cattle driven from the country through
a crowded town will often work
themselves into a frenzy Horses
have gone mad on the battlefield. At
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned on
its attendant, threw him down and,
kneeling on him, attacked him like an
Infatuated dog. An instance is related
of a docile horse suddenly going mad
on hot day. Everything that came
in its way it seized in it's teeth and
shook as terrier does rat A scien-
fist Of authority even goes SO far as to
prove by what appears to be incontest-
able evidence that cats, dogs and
monkeys have been observed to have
decisions very similar to those of in
sane people. Globe

The Birch.

Old writer's ia mentioning birch trees
seldom failed to SAY soiemniy that they
were useful to grow branches with
which to- give boys furnishings. Turner
regards the supply Of flexible, pendent
branches for purposes Of punishment
as the chief merit OF the tree. Coles
also based his estimate Of the birch
chiefly Oh its use in the supply Of rods
as Instruments Of punishment, for he
writes: THE civil uses whereunto the
birch serveth are many. as for the pun
iShnfert of children, both at home and
at school; for it hath an admirable in
duence upon them to quiet them when
they are out of order. and therefore
S@1ne call it makepeace." In ancient
Rome the faSceS of the lictorS, with
which they cleared the way for magis-
trates, were formed with rods of birch,
and their influence was sufficient to in
sure a rapid dispersion of men assem-
bled where they would impede the
passage of the administrators of the
law. From that time to within a COM
paratively recent period the birchen
rod was regarded as one of the most
important deterrents of Juvenile de-
pravity

PedScurinE en- Elephant.

The tools for trimming elephants feet
are a carpenters drawknife and a rasp
for the soles and a horseshoer's knife
and sandpaper for the toe nails. The
operator places beer keg or a strong
box behind one huge hind foot, lightly
prods the thick ankle with his elephant
hook and commands the beast to Hold
up" Up comes the mighty foot, slowly
and heavily, but obediently as the vel
vety paw of a kitten. The foot is rest
ed on the box or the keg, where it re-
mains while the expert works on it
much as horseshoer pares the hoof of
horse. Great slivers of the horny
sole are sliced off until it is cut nearly
to proper thickness, when the rasp is
used to smooth off. Similarly the toe
nails are treated with the knife and the
sandpaper, while the big patient stands
with swinging trunk and an occasional
Wag of an ear, too full of satisfaction
for utterance. When the turn of the
forefoot comes, the great beast is made
to lie down on it's side and the hoofs
are propped up and reated.-McClure'

A Bird That Is Feared,

The elster CPica candatW is bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of
dove, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail 1t builds its
nest in orchards, and it's life is sacred.
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in Il place re-
mote from it's home it is believed to be
q sure sign of death in that house. If
it flies and gives it's peculiar cry the
sick person is sure to die, but if it
does not scream the patient may re-
cover. 1T is better for the sick per-
son If the bird does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and, II by chance one of them should
die it is a sign of bad luck to the owner
OF the property where it is found.
The bird is G valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.
