tuberculosis Meeting.

By Act of the recent Legislature, the
work heretofore performed by the State
Commission on tuberculosis, has been
placed upon the Board of Health. This
board has planned several public meet
ings in connection with an exhibit relat-
ing to the various phases of the anti-tu-
berculosis work. 1t is hoped to make
these meetings instructive, as well as in
teresting and we venture to hope that
we may even arouse some enthusiasm in
the State in this anti-tuberculosis cru
SADIE.
The exhibit. which the board has gath
cred, relates to the distribution of tuber-
culosis at home in Vermont, and through
out the world, and illustrates in graph
ic way the various factors in the cause of
the disease and the methods now univer-
sally adopted against it. We feel sure
that this exhibit will appeal to such as
might not be reached by lectures or liter
allure and will be especially interesting
to school children.
One of these general public meetings
and exhibitions is planned for ST. Johns
bury, March 18th and 18th.

silenoinn tho Questioners.


 A French gentleman who had been with NJ. de Talleyrand for twenty years accompanied him to the congress at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to Elba. People naturally concluded that this long intimacy had made him fa- miliar with a number of particulars of the minister's life and bearing also upon the events with which he had been mixed up. Worried with ques- tions. the friend invariably replied that he knew nothing but the questioners would not be satisfied and returned to the charge.
 "Very well.' finally said Talleyrand's confidant; "Tll tell you a peculiar and altogether unknown fact in connection with M. de Talleyrand. Since Louis XV. he's the only man who can open soft boiled egg with one backward stroke of his knife without spilling a drop of the contents of the shell. That is the only peculiarity I know in con- nection with him."
 Discretion had scored a decisive vic tory. From that moment the ques- tions ceased.

A Collectors Bargain.

Lord Spencer of Althorp. one of the greatest of book collectors. was at home only in his own field. One day in browsing about Bond street, Lon- don, he went into the shop of dealer in bric-a-brac. The dealer. who knew him by sight. said persuasively:
 Here is a fine bit of pottery which your lordship really ought to have, and you shall have it very cheap-only guineas."
 So Lord Spencer bought it and took it home and set it in high place. One day a connoisseur of china paid him q visit. and Lord Spencer showed his bargain.
 What did you give for it?' asked the connoisseur.
 1.-TWO guineas." answered Spencer rather proudly.
 "H'm!' said the connoisseur. At that price the marmalade should have been included"
 What do you mean"
 Why, that precious piece of yours is nothing more or less than a shil- ling marmalade pot with green this tie painted on it"

S5,OOO TO DEFEAT
 INSURANCE BILL.
New York State Superintendent
 on Trail of Bribery.

At the investigation being made by State Insurance Superintendent Hotch. kiss in New York it was brought out on Monday by the testimony of Vice President Correa of the Home Insur- ance company that the fire underwrit- CTS paid George B. Sheldon $5,OOO on Sept. 1, 1909, to. effect the defeat of a bill introduced by Senator Grady. Sheldon deposited the 5000 check Sept. ill the Liberty National bank. H. s. Barto, the assistant cashier, tes- tified that on the same day Sheldon came in after hours and asked if it was too late to get a check cashed. He wrote out a check for $1,5O0 and asked for the money in bills of large denomination. MT. Barto gave Shel- don three $500 bills. Superintendent Hotchkiss drew the inference from this that three senators got $500 each. The bill was defeated.
