used for county purposes.

rived yesterday afternoon they met
with the assistant judges of county
court. Charles b. Kent of Dorset and
DIR. c. A. Perry of Readsboro, and
two members of the local health
board, Health officer II L. Stillson
and Selectman Frank Cromack, at the
county clerks office. After short
discussion the gentlemen present
made thorough inspection Of the
building. They examined the plumb
ing and heating, discussed the matter
of ventilation and the general condit-
ion of the property.
At the conclusion Of their inspec
ton the board stated that the recon-
mendation in relation to plumbing
made in It's former report had been
adopted but otherwise ii found the
conditions were the same as those ex
listing at the time Of the former In
| spection.

OLD LONDON BRIDGE.
1t Linked the Twelfth Century With
 the Eisi1teenth.

1t Linked the Twelfth Century With
 tho Eighteenth.
 For centuries old London bridge, with it's double row of houses, was the home of generations who lived and traded over the Thames waters.
 Holbein lived and painted there. Os- borne, the prentice lad, ieaped through a window in the house of his master, Sir William Hewet, to the rescue of Sir Wiliia ms daughter, who had fallen into the swollen food of the river be- low. and by winning her for his wife laid the foundation of the ducal house of Leeds. Crispin Tucker had his shop on the bridge, to which Pope and Swift and many another author of fame made pilgrimages to purchase books and gossip with the waggish shopkeeper. Crocker's Dictionary was printed "at the Looking Glass on Lon- don bridge" and gigantic corn mills dominated the south end of the struc- ture, not many yards from the wonder full Nonsuch House. a huge wooden pile with tufrets and cupo1as brought from Holland
 Such in brief outline was tine London bridge which linked the twelfth with the eighteenth century and which when it was on it's last tottering legs was removed to give place to it's fine successor Of our day. the stone in which is said to be nearly double that employed in building St. Paurs cathedral.

 DISCUSSED IN STATE
 HEALTH BOARD REPORT

Hartford, May 1.-The mortality re- port of the State Board of Health for April, gives the figures at 1,499. or 133 less than during March and less than in April a year ago. The timely topic of Secretary Townsend is upon the feeding of infants, in which he strong ly advocates the nursing of a child by its mother. The substitution of an- other milk for that of the mother, pr. Townsend points out is serious mat ter. and to prepare this substitute food requires great care and precautions. Dr. Townsend then explains the care of nursing bottles and the preparation of cows milk.

He had already made up his mind to ship so many cars of horses week. They said. Where are these horses? He told them. Well, what kind of horses are they?' He described them, What are they worth? The man, with some hesitation, finally said, Well they are worth so much How much are you getting for them?' Then he demurred. He said, Now, that is none of your business But they said, Tt is our business you will find it is our bus mess if you want cars to ship them in.' The man finally had to tell them. They took a pencil in his presence and figured out his profit. They said Your profit on those horses is so and so, ,

hie Danger.

In these days of almost pre-eminent German music and musicians it is rather amusing to read the opinions of former generations concerning leu tonic singers
 Frederick the Great was so impo- litely unpatriotic as to declare that he would rather hear the neighing of . horse than the singing of a German prima donna. Perhaps fin his day there was some excuse for such a remark, but the times have changed.
 There is a diverttnE anecdote of an Italian who was convinced that no German could sing. A friend induced him to go to the opera where Hen riette Sontag sang. After hearing her first aria the Italian got up to go. The friend urged him to stay, assuring him that he would be convinced soon.
 ''I know it." repied the Italian, 'and that's why I go."
