ATTORNEY GENERALS REPORT.
Would Have Foreman of Petit Juries
Appointed by Court-Other
Recommendations.


The biennial report of the attorney
general of Vermont for the two years
ending June 80, 1910, has been is
sued. In the recommendation of
Attorney-General Sargent he ex-
presses a belief that in a trial of
causes in county court, justice would
| be promoted by the appointment of
foremen of petit juries by the court
instead of election by the jury itself,
as is the law at present
To secure attendance of witnesses
at trial courts he advises that the
| statutes be so amended that such
Witnesses may be required to give
a recognizance with sufficient sure
ties.
He recommends that the statute
governing the summoning of grand
juries be amended to provide that
they be summoned only when order
ed by judge of the court they are
to attend, thereby saving much I'M
necessary expense. He also recon-
mends that there should be legisla-
ton authorizing compulsory exami-
nation under oath by states attor-
ney of witnesses in state causes.
He would have added to the stat
ute authorizing his Office to employ
detective service in securing evil
dence against respondents in GRIMM
al cases, authority to secure evil
dence in any matter in which the
state is interested and authority to
secure legal service in any cause
when in the judgment of the attor-
ney-general the interest of the state
requires it. He adds that this
authority is needed owing to the fact
that in one or more counties every
biennial term the states attorney is
either dishonest, incompetent or in
capacitated by dissipation
The report contains a recommend
alton that the law be so amended
that juries in municipal and city
courts should consist of IL men and
such courts given Jurisdiction con-
current with the county courts to
try and finally determine all COM
plants and information for viola
tions of the law in which the pun
ishment does not exceed five years
in state prison, without appeal to
the county courts, thereby decreas-
ing the expense of the administra-
ton of the criminal law.

How Romans Took Their Food.
The Romans reclined at their BAN
quets on couches. all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed in the
center of the table. Each was sup
piled with a napkin. and knives were
used. though it does not appear that
every one was supplied with one.
Nothing. it would seem. could be more
fatiguing than to partake of a repast
In such an awkward posture or less
conductive to neatness. it being almost
impossible to keep the hands clean
even with water supplied by the slaves
or to prevent the food and wine from
falling on the clothing and the draper
les of the couch. This manner of eat
ing disappeared during the dark ages
so far as the couch was concerned,
but the popularity of taking food with
the fingers from a common dish con-
tinued afterward for more than 1000
years.

of Brattleboro, was notified Satur-
day by DR.. Henry D. Holton, secre-
tary of the state board of health,
that the burning of leaves and re-

the platform, at each end Of which were
placed more bouquets u carnations.
Stevia and single carnations were scattered
in the smiiax, and in the very lovely effect
