THE BIG FAIR.
A Few Closing Notes Concerning
THE Best Ever, Next Week.

Lovers of baseball will be afforded
two treats next week. An exciting
game has been arranged for Wednesday
forenoon at 1890 between Proctor
High School and Middebury High
School, on the fair grounds. These
teams are evenly matched and have
played one game where the score stood
three to two. Another game will be
played Friday at the same time and
place between picked team from Mid
dlebury and the Vergennes city team.
There have been very large entries
in the department of horses, sheep,
swine and poultry, much larger than in
any previous year, and the showing
will be exec ptionally good.
Mr.. Remelee, superintendent of the
grounds, reports that every inch of
space has been taken and that no more
concessions are to be had. Considering
that the space allotted to these is much
greater than ever before, it would seem
that these special attractions will be
more numerous than ever.
In Horticultural Hall the east side
will be given over to Grange exhibits
and the west side has been rearranged.
This building will be jammed full.
Race horses are arriving on every
train and there will be big string.

Apropos of a titled foreigners mar
riage to a rich and rather plain Ameri-
can girl a New Yorker said:
The count has no cause to com
plain. The ethics of such marriage
as his are but the ethics of the matri-
mOnial agency.
"A man called at a matrimonial
agency.
81 am Interested he said. in the
young lady who has S250,00O in her
own right. Could You let me see her

"'No; that is not the CUSTOM the
agent replied. In any case over 500
600 the photograph is never asked
for"

There is one kind Of correspondence
sometimes received by women clerks
that makes heads of firms hopping
mad" said the pretty stenographer.
THAT is dress patterns. They don't
mind letters and magazines. but if a
girl wants to keep on good terms with
her employer and maybe keep her job
she had better advise pattern compa-
MES to send their communications to
some other address ! know one en-
ployer of about 100 girls who has put
up notices in the workroom to the eff
feet that no patterns can be received
at that Office. Not many men go that
far but all hold the same grudge
against patterns. A girl who has n
new dress to make up can't help
spreading the pattern out the minute
she gets it. Then every other woman
in the office becomes interested Moth
ing is so disorganizing to women
clerks as patterns. Nothing takes up
more time that belongs to the firm
so you really can't blame the bosses
for putting a ban on patterns. New

The origin Of the word Dull" as the
definition of a confused utterance Is
doubtful. Some philologists say it
comes from the French boule-" fraud"
and others that it is derived from
the Icelandic bull-"nonsense" Many
definitions have been attempted. but
the best probably is that of Sydney
Smith. Writing of the difference be-
tween wit and bulls" he says: wit
discovers real relations that are appar-
ent; bulls admit apparent relations
that are not real. The stronger the
apparent connection and the more COM
plete the real disconnection Of the
ideas the greater the surprise and the
better the bull"

A we'll known ventriloquist who had
consented to give a performance in aid
of charity heard that certain members
of his prospective audience were de-
termined to watch the movements of
his mouth with the closest scrutiny
with a view of confounding him. The
night came. the attendants carried in
three dummies on chairs. and the artist
made his appearance. His perform
ance was unusually successful, the
muscles of his face giving no evidence
of his art. The changes of voice were
marvellous, and the astonished crowd
at the close of the exhibition gave him
a rousing cheer. Again and again
they called him back, and he express
ed his pleasure by innumerable bows.
At last the cheering ceased and he
was permitted to retire Scarcely had
he done so when the three LAY" fig
ures got up from their chairs and walk
ed off the stage. The ventriloquist had
employed three friends to impersonate
his usual mechanical figures.

LET THE YAWN COME.
A Good Ono Is Splendid Thing For
tho Whole Body.

A Good Ono Is Splendid Thing For
tho Whole Body.
A good, wide. open mouthed yawn Is
splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn be-
cause they are sleepy. but this is not
so. You yawn because you are tired.
You may be sleepy also. but that is not
the real cause of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired. and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand over your mouth if you
want to. but let the yawn come. And
If you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way OF
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed. If you are
very tired. but do not feel like yawn.
ing. there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as TO sit on a straight back
chair and, lifting your feet from the
floor, push them out in front of you as
far as possible, stretch the arms, put
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired and
see what it will do for you.

The common peanut, beloved Of the
small boy. grows in a way that is dis
tinctly original. The little plant sends
up it's shoots, with the fruit on the
end of a somewhat stiff stalk, and
then before 1t rlpens the stem bends
over and carefully pushes the fruit I'M
derground. AS pigs are said to be
especially fond OF these, 1t has been
suggested that the plant does this to
hide its nuts from the porker's too in
quisitive investigations.

Imprisonment Without Trial ir
ENGLAND.

Few people are av Of the fact
that imprisonment without judicial
trial exists in any other European
country save Russia. They VIII be
surprised to learn. therefore. that a
similar custom still survives In Eng
land. 1t survives in the treatment Of
paupers admitted to our ahle-bOdled
test work houses, where the members
of boards Of guardians. or, as IL works
out in practice. the masters and ma
irons of test work houses, are invested
with a power for intiicting punish
ment equal 80. and I'm some cases
greater than, that which is invested in
the actual penal authorities
1T is. of course, ven known that
the controllers of casual wards and
test work houses have certain powers
of detention. aud that these institu-
lions are hedecd round by more or
less rigorous rules TO insure discipline
and protect the community from the
impositious of the cunning and lazy
vagabond. But how Gar these powers
should go is "a point whose legality has
never been properly defined

imagines that discipline In a work
house is maintained By prosecuting re-
fractory paupers.
And so It is in most cases. But in
the test work house this constitutions
procedure is often in allegiance, and
the master OF the Tame street able

Tame street are treated, according "a
the minority commissioners, on the
sole authority Of the master, to soli-
tarv confinement. with in some in
stances, the additional punishment of
forty-eieht hours bread and water

This seeming infringement of the
office OF the magistrate Is not the only
reflection upon the test work house.

made by The hospital books one of the
most interesting concerns pneumonia.
Contrary to the general impression
that this is peculiarly a winter dis

spring and early summer. There were
.f13 ambulance calls to pneumonia
cases on the years record. March tur-
nished the largest number, which is
not surprising. but the next most pro-
life months in this respect were April
and May. while June had as many
eases as October. Every month in the
year contributed to the pneumonia
quota. Even July had one case, while
August had six, n greater number
than either January or February.
.Pleurisv was no much the same case,
March and April providing twelve of
the tweuty-threc cases in which ann
muance s~lervic6 was called upon for
victims of this disease. while Influenza

lance cases in April ard only two in

Another interesting record Of varia-

is that Of tho hours at which calls are
