A Successful Meeting.

The first annual institute for librari,
ans OF the state of Vermont was held
at Burlington from July lst to Sd in
elusive. An instructor, in the person OF
Miss Harriet r. Peck OF Gloversyille, n

cred from all sections of the state, com.

der the direction of the state commits.
sion and proved the value of the new
departure.
The success of the institute was very
noticeable. The librarians enjoyed and
proiited by the technical instructed and
formed many pleasant associations
which affords hope that similar insti-
tute may be held in the coming year
with an even larger attendance. A spirit
OF enthusiasm was displayed at this
institute, which gives ground for the
hope that the public libraries of Yer
mont will gain greatly during the com
ing year.

Mutton Made to Order.

Seventy five thousand sheep--feeding
in scattered bands on u western range
is not an unusal sight at least to a
Westerner but the same number in fat
tening pens-all of them busiIy eating
out OF endless rows OF feed boxes,
packed like sardines in immense sheds
that is an unusual sight. So writes
Edward |. Pratt in the Technical World
Magazine for July.
Out south of Aurora, situated not
Jar from Chicago, where the steeples
of the town begin to fade behind the
willows that fringe the swift running
Fox river; where the shining tracks
of trancontinental railroad bend to-
wards the sunset, long low group of
buildings stretch for quarter of a
mile close to the rails. In their midst
tower two hugh elevators flanked by
tall smokestaclxs over innumerdble pens
and barns. In the foreground, sur
rounded by a pretty yard is a good
sized dwelling and around all is maze
of yards, alleys and passageways.
A stranger might think miniature
stock yard had sprung up out of the
prairie but for the legend painted in
gigantic lettering on the side of the
elevator. 1t is in fact the largest sheep
feedidng plant in the worlda place
where it can truly be said toothsome
lamb chops and mutton are manufac.
tured-yes, manufactured, for there is
no picturesque shepherd or green fields
for these sheep. Shippers send them
to make mutton by steady feeding, a
mechanical process purely.
Fifty thousand sheep cap be seen here
almost any day and while occasionally
the number is smaller. it is, in height
of the season, much greater. Seventy
five thousand head is the capacity.
The big sheep ranch in the midst of
ordinary illinois farms, is described in
entertaining style by the writer and
is well illustrated with photographs.

Dean h sehool DRINKING cupa.


Tho greatest achievement Of science
IN the opening decade Of the twentieth
century Is the awakening OF the people
TO the fact that most human diseases
are prcventable and large proportion
Of early deaths ayoidable. At least
100000 of the million and half deaths
occurring annually in the United States
result from the minute parasitic plants
an animals gaining access to the body,
These invisible foes wage a continual
warfare against both strong and weak,
rich and poor. Civic duty as well as
self preservation demands that these
lito.dcstroyers should as far rs possible
be shut out Of the human system.
The edidence condemning the use Of
the common drinking vessel upon any
occasion whether at school, church or
lone is derived from three souroesi
1, the frequent presence of disease
producing bacteria in the mouth; 2.
the oetection of pathogenic germs on
the public cups and 3. the discovery
that where n number OF persons drank
from Il cup previously used by the sick,
soIc Of them became i'll.
cup which had been in use nine
days In school was a clear thin glass
Il was broken into number Of pieces
and properly stained for examination
with a microscope magniiying/ 1000
diamcters The human cells seraped
from the lips Of the drinkers were 50
numerous ON the upper third of the
glass that the head Of pin could not
be placed anywhere without touching
several of these bits Of skin. The sail
va by running down on the inside of
the glass had carried cells and bacteria
10 the bottom. Here, however, they
were less than one third as abundant
a. at the brim.
By counting the cells present on fifty
different areas on the glass as seen UNI
der the misoroseopc il was estimated
that the cup contained over 10000 hui
man cells or bits of dead skin. As many
as $50 germs were seen elinging to a
single cell and very few cells showed
loss than ten germs. Between the cells
were thousands of germs left there by
the smears of saliva deposited by the
drinkers. Not less than a hundred
thousand bacteria were present on
every square inch of the classroom

Be a Farmer.

Now is the time to get nice farm
and settle down. Farms are divided
into two kinds--the abandoned and
those that want to be. Having secured
your farm, proceed TO settle on il as
gracefully as possible. To begin with,
mortgage your property in town, and
gather together all your valuable re.
sources.
Much can be done with an abandoned
farm if one has money and courage en-.
ough. First; remove all the super
luous rocks To do this start a rock
cry. Whenever, in walking over your
fIrin, you notice a bowlder or so loaf
ing around, left over from the heartless
old glacial period, with nothing on
earta to do but gather moss, pick it up
careiessly and add it to the rockery.
Then is case you run out of resources,
you can, with the muscle thus acquired,
spend the rest Of your life in museum
as a strong man.
Second: secure respectable and
even tempered herd Of kline. Kline are
largely used to give milk and to furnish
models for oil paintings. You can also
use them to drive to pasture. Driving
herd Of kline to pasture is not only
splendid exercise--better than golf
but it also adds 10 your sense of the
beautiful.
, Taird: keep on hand stock of hens.
These delightful companions will be a
perpetual source of amusement and
profit Accompany them with some
chandeliers. As Icing as they cheer
YOU by their presence, you need not
alarm clock. There are, OF course, many
other joys to farm, which will naturl,
~ occur 10 every one; the old germ
laden bucket, the green collie apple orch
ard, the malaria 1uck-pond, the hired
man who sleeps in the haymow, and the
artistic leaks in the roof where the
sun comes peeping in at mormon
bright days.
But the best thing about a farm is
the rest you get. After you've fed the
hers, tucked up the kline, sawed wood,
unhitched old Dobbin, and locked up af-
Ter the hired man, you can lie down on
your lgnum-vitae bed and sleep right
through until nearly a. m.

A Good-wish Rose.

"a clever idea was carried out at a
recent shower for brid-to-be,' says
July Woman's Home Companion. "ln
the invitation each guest was request.
ed TO send in, prior TO the party, a
wish for the bride. The hostess made
a beautiful large white paper rose, and
before putting il together she wrote on
each petal wish and the name Of the
wishcr. IA Is usual in most cases,
some of the guests forgot TO send in
a wish, but brought one with them, and
others write them after they arrived.
For this purpose large paper rosebud
had been made, into which the wishes
we've slipped, and the bud twisted up
again. The guest of honor was charmed
with the rose and rosebud, and said
TINT she would always keep it as a
pleasant reminder Of her friends, whom
she was soon to leave for a new home
in distant city"

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM,
II is Controlled By The Sympathetic OF
Third Great Nervous System of
The Body.

The chemistry OF the blood Is largely
though not xelusiyely, controlled by
tbethird great nervous system in US, a
nervous system whose lery existence
the public has hardly heard OF, but
which physicians already know TO be
mora directly connected with the life OF
the body than are brain and spinale
cord put together. Physicians do not
often mention il, simply because they
know so little for certain about it. BY
the old anatomists IL was called the
Great Sympathetic, because II was im-
apned TO distribute feelings all over
the body thereby causing the head TO
ache out Of sympathy with the stom-
Qch when it was sour,
roth the cells and the fbres of this
system differ in numerous particulars
ffoul those of the spinal cord and
brain, and il may briefly be described rs
consisting of three divisions, The first
division presents a long chain of ner.
vous masses called ganglia, which lie
VH tiNhNi HluN VI thS splhN ilVtH WV
head down. These ganglia are con
nccted together by strands Of their sort
of nerve flbres, while others of them
pass to make connections with the
spinal cord, the medulla oblougata, and
the brain. The second division consists
OF ganglia, or masses of ganglia lying
behind the important organs, such as
the heart, etc, which they ere said to
n1crvate. Tho largest Of these is call
ed the solar plexus, lying behind the
stomach, which inneryates the liver,
spleen, stomach, and intestines. Other
important ganglia inneryate the kid
neys and the pelvic organs. The third
division Of this system consists of mum
berless small gangia distributed 10
every part Of the body, and all con
nccted with one another, Auerbach's
plcxus in the walls Of the alimentary
canal from the esophagus down alone
counting many thousands, whose rela.
tions are doubtless OF much Importance
