DIR. Don ID. Grout, superintendent OF
the state hospital for the insane at Water
bury, has made public statement show
ing some of the reasons why the per
capita expense for the maintenance of
patients in the state hospital should be
larger than that OF the hospitals In almost
any other state.
First, be states that the larger the
number OF patients, the smaller the per
capita expense, and consequently Yer
monts 500 patients must be OF greater
individual cost than New York's 10000
or Massachusetts 10000.
Another item OF increased expense is
fuel. In 1901 the average cost OF coal to
the New York hospitals was $3.50 per ton,
while here II cost $50 and this year "a so.
making difference OF over 5000 per year,
or Y cents per week in the per capita ex-
pense. Add to this the extra amount
consumed on account OF the difference in
the severity OF the climate, and we have
~ cents per week.
Still another cause of extra expense is
our remoteness from the large markets
and the consequent increase in our
freight bills.
The total expense Of running the
hospital has increased since its erection

In these various county fusion
hitch-ups between Democrats and In
dependents, it is noticeable that the
nominees for assistant judges in coun-
ties liable to contain license towns are
generally both Independents. The
Democrats in Rutland county wouldn't
agree TO this, so there is no fusion
there. The explanation is that under
the present law the assistant judges
appoint the license boards, and thus
control, in a measure, the giving OF
licenses. 1t appears as il Clement
wants to use the licenses for his future
political purposes. But then, Percy

The submarine signaling Is a close
rival to the wireless telegraph in the
great increase that it has made in the
safety Of travel on the sea. One re-
ceiver is placed on each side of the
ship, with separate wires from each,
and by the use Of telephones the off,
Ger is able to hear a bell that Is being
struck at a point many miles distant
from the ship and determine it's dfrec-
ton. The officer Of the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse states that ON the last
trip over, when the ship was four
miles distant from the River Weser.
he plainly made out the signals con-
veyed from the lightship there. Fur
thermore, as the vessel neared Nan
tucket, and when she was about four
miles distant from the lightship, he
heard through the telephone the signal
"66." This consists of six strokes of
the bell, pause and then six more
strokes Of the bell, which is the Nan
tucket lightship code signal. At about
the same distance from Sandy Hook
HSulSuIp Tue respective signals were
distinctly audible. The value of this
device In preventing collisions be-
tween approaching ships is evident,
for it has this advantage over the fog
horn, that the direction Of the ap-
preaching vessel, whether from port or
starboard, is determined at once by the
fact that the sounds are audible to the
port or starboard telephone.

A WELCOME ILLNESS.
I%%H~&~~@~H~~%H%S~@

Little folk have tragedies as we'll as
real and heart breaking. A correspond
ent of the Washington Post tells OF
some Of her experiences with the
griefs Of childhood. She says that she
will never forget the day when. at the
age Of twelve, she came home from a
long year at school.
l had comforted myself in my lone
illness and homesickness by thinking
Of the happiness OF getting back to my
dolls. l came home to find that my
mother had given them all away. l
was too old. she said. to care for dolls.
l suppose she never dreamed l could
care, any more than l dreamed Of the
ache in the heart Of little niece OF
mine till she showed 1t to mo not long
ago.
She is the elder Of two daughters.
The younger is rarely beautiful
child, who has always been delicate,
80 that attentions have been showered
on her. The elder child, Julia, Is q
plain. sturdy little thing, who has al
ways given way without word to
Margaret, the younger.
When l went to visit the family last
fall Margaret was the center of at
traction. II she had a sore throat the
house was turned topsyturvy.
One day 1 came upon Julia. sitting
by the kitchen stove, her teeth chatter
ing. She had never been Ill before. OF
course we put her to bed and hung
over her and made lot of her. The
child was really Ill.
"Poor little thing" l said to her.
I'm 80 sorry you're sick!'
She looked up at me with the oldest
look ever saw on a child's face.
I'm glad" she replied. They'll
all treat me now Just the way they
do Margaret"
You may be sure we did. But think
how long her heart must have ached
to make her think Of saying that! We
can never make up to her for that.

SENSIBLY ARRANGED.

Among the traditions Of old-time

rivalries, Screenings and Opponents
to be expected of youthful impetuosi-
ty are not absent; but surely no other
region preserves so many anecdotes Of
TRANQUIL. unhurried and unflurried low
ers.
One recently related of trio of ma
tives of old Morley a century ago is
certainly an instance rather Of sense
than Of sensibility.
Abel came counting to Amanda;
neither was young. Amanda listened
politely when Abiel proposed, looked
him up and down, considered, and an
nounced, with considerate regret:
It'll have to be no, Abiel; it REILLY
will. I'm sorry, but l can't make it
my duty to say otherwise, and it GER
tainly amt my pleasure. I'm salts
fed with single life. But If you'll
take it in the spirit it's offered, I'll
give We a piece OF advice. Try Peter
Forney's Abigail. She's better-looking
than 1 be. She's got faculty, and
kind O. think she amt averse to mar
| rage"
Abel, gratefully accepting the ad-
vice, proceeded at once to Abigail, who
justified Amanda's guess at her atti-
tude toward matrimony. She and he
were soon married, and in due time
Amanda came to call, and expressed
during her stay a warmer appreciation
of the furnishings Of the new home
than Abel deemed in good taste. It
struck him as too nearly approaching
envy.
