How to Find the Blind Spot.

The blind spot that occurs in every
eye, no matter how perfect may be the
sight, is that precise point where the
optic nerve enters the eye, about one
tenth inch nearer the nose than the
center.
To discover this spot, take, for ex-
ample, two rubber tipped lead pencils
and hold them together at arms
length, directly in front of you, one in
each hand; close your left eye, and fix
the sight of the right eye on the left
hand pencil; gradually separate them
until about six inches apart, when it
will be found that you have lost sight
of the rubber on the right-hand pencil
While this is a natural condition in all
eyes, still the fact remains doubted by
many till it is tried.-Sunday Maya

A policy that has been discussed
ever since the Observation-Disclosures law
went upon the statute book, has at

county--the appointment of license
commissioners known to be license
men. The plan has never been tried
before in any Vermont town and there
fore. Morristown in that respect will
be looked upon this year as a test
.-Morrisville Messenger.
This is certainly news in Benning-
ton, that only prohibitionists have
been called upon to serve as license
commissioners in any Vermont town.
Some of them have been keeping 1t
mighty dark. Next year in the list OF
speakers stumping the state in favor
of county option, ear tags for all men
who ever take drink and other Fer
gussonian doctrines, we shall doubt
less see such distinguished names as

ara Frank Battles. The first class in
prohibition will now stand up.

People are sometimes quite un-
consciously humorous. Egbert q.
futile of Rutland few days ago
gave the Rutland Herald an inter
view as to his claim against the
state for printing in 1906. In the
course of the interview Mr. futile
told the Herald reporter that he re-
fused to compromise when the matter
was before the legislature at the
last session and demanding the whole
sum or nothing and so got nothing.
The humor of the remark lies in the
fact that the only compromise ofrer-
ed Mr. futile was one whereby he
not only got nothing, but would be
left owing the state. This kind OF a
compromise reminds us of the story
that George Harvey, editor of Har-
per's Weekly tells on himself. When
Harvey was a young fellow and left
his home up in northern Vermont and
went down to work as reporter on
the Springfield Republican, he did
not know in advance what wages he
was to get He told his friends at
home that he expected to get $l2 a
week, but would accept $40 II he
couldn't get more. When his friends
saw him next they asked him how
he came out and Harvey said that he
compromised" with his employer

what was the base OF the compromise
he finally admitted that 1t was six
dollars a week which was, the publish

War on the Housefiy.


Health officers all over the country are
uniting in campaign against the house
| fly, declared to be one OF the most impor-
tant agents in the spread OF typhoid fever
and tuberculosis. If the statements of a
committee of the New York Merchants
association, which has compiled testimony
on this subject from various parts of the
United States, are to be credited, it is
evident that the average person has failed
to realize what dangerous foe to human
kind the innocent appearing little fly is.
10 quote the committees own words the
fly is more dangerous than the tiger or
the cobra, and may easily be classed as
the most dangerous animal on earth, y
which certainly is "going some," if one
may employ fippant coloquialism, in
treating of so. serious subject. Clearly,
the housefy is monster, and it makes
little difference where we find it, provided
it has the freedom of the town.
In New York city, with its sewage
laden waterfront, there is particularly good
reason for declaring war on this insect,
but even in the bucoic hamlet of Storrs,
Conn, which is getting rather near home
~ stable flies were apprehended and,
on being searched, were found to have
1,9S0,000 bacteria. This increased the zeal
OF the detectives and little later IS other
flies were overhauled and compelled to sur
render llS,S00,000 bacteria for the cause
of science. This is warning that the
househy cannot be trusted anywhere. In
Boston the authorities have appropriated
100000 FIR the work of Kidding the city
of this disease-breeding pest. Other com
may well give heed to the dan
ger. The New York Merchants associa-
ton submits facts and figures which seem
TO prove it's case. However cowardly it
may seem to kill poor little fly, it is a
grim necessity. By far the best way is to
'emove the unclean conditions which en-
lble flies to swarm in great numbers.

News From st. Johnsbury.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

Brattleboro amateurs are about to stage
Gilbert and Sullivan's delectable comic
opera, "Pinafore." In this connection the
following dispatch will be of interest tC
readers of the Messenger:
est. Johnsbury, April 1.-THE project
to stage the comic opera, 'Pinafore' here
| by local talent has been abandoned and a
revival service will be held in the scale
works instead Intense public Indignation
was aroused on every hand by the discov-
cry that the word damme' occurs in the
text of the opera and is so essential to the
working out of a featured situation in the
action Of the piece that it could not be
omitted. A copy of the opera that had
been procured for the purpose of prelim-
mary organization, making cast of charac-
tiers, etc, has been burned in the furnace
of the First National Church by the Citi
zens' Committee Of Safety, while a mon
ster mob of excited men and women is
swarming around the outside of the edifce
and demanding that the authors of the in
famous piece be delivered over to them"
'Later-lt is now rumored that Sullivan
is dead and that Gilbert is in hiding in
England.
'Iater-As means of pacifying the
citizens, arrangements are being made for
a series of free public entertainments in
the Athenaeum, including the Swiss Bell
Ringers, Comlcal Brown, and M. Slnso-
nautt's trained feas
"Later-It is learned that Comical Brown
n ztrs are out-5f bHsihess, and the feas
have escaped.
"Later-Pubic spirited citizens are com
ing forward with donations of feas.
"Later-The Committee of Safety, head
ed by Harry Carr, is at work in the Gale
DOMAIN office dramatizing the Session Laws
of 1908 which will be presented with a
bowling farce as an afterpiece.
'Later-The committee has gone far |
enough into its task to discover that the
farce will not be needed, and it is too late |
to howl about it.
Understanding parties are securing
he country hereabouts for Henry G. Ide,
who is believed to have resided here as
ate as 1892, and who is wanted in Spain.

Windham county has not yet had occa
sion to 90 into ecstacies of delight over
the new law which allows an earlier open
season for trout than in other parts of
the state. With the flood and cold wealth
er later opening would prove more prof
table as a fishing season.-Montpelier
Journal.
What more can we say to make our up.
state friends realize that in asking for an
early trout season Windham county did
not wish or expect to catch more fish ?
Can't they understand that as long as
flood and cold weather continue practical
ly no trout will be caught and that this
means more protection for the fish? A
later opening would be more profitable in
the sense that more fish would be caught
the first few days, more in fact than ought
to be taken if there is any desire to pro-
tect the streams. Windham county sports
men, we feel safe in saying, are well sat
isfed with the early open season thus far.
