Amending the Vermont Constitution.

On June r. the Times published list
of nine proposed amendments to the con-
stitution of Vermont; and as the public
may have been somewhat puzzled as
to the purpose of the publishing, perhaps
II may be well without further delay to
state that the advertising of the proposed
amendments was according to the con-
stitution relative to amending that in
strument Section % of the amendments
to the Vermont constitution stipulates
that when the senate shall by a two
thirds vote propose amendments to the
constitution, and the House, by SINH
lar vote, shall concur such proposals
shall be published in newspapers of the
state prior to the converting of the next
following legislature Then. If the Senate
and House of that next legislature snail
by a majority vote accept any or all
of such proposals, the accepted proposals
shall be submitted to a direct vote Of
the freemen of Vermont. In that referen-
DUN. such proposals as shall receive a ma
jority of the votes cast shall become
part OF the constitution. Therefore, the
first two steps in the method of proceed
ure have been compiled with; the Senate
has made proposals which the House
has accepted, and the accepted proposals
have been published in the newspapers
of the state. 1t is now left to submit
the proposals to the legislature next
fall for ratification or rejection.-[Barr

Fight the Tent Caterpillar Pest.

o. L. Martin, state commissioner of
agriculture, says the tent caterpillar has
made its appearance in great numbers in
the state and it is of the utmost i'm
portance that every land owner take i'm
mediate action against the pest by cut
ting and burning all scrub vegetation
infested with the pest along the road
sides.
Where the worms take refuge in val
liable fruit trees he recommends thorough
spraying with paris green, or the appli-
cation of a torch He also urges that
where highways pass through uninhab-
tied territory the town officials take such
action as is necessary to hold this insect
in check. Only few years ago this same
pest made its appearance in the state
and did damage to the mape sugar trees
from which that industry has never re-
covered, and 1t is each mans duty to
consider himself personally obligated to
the state and to assist in Kidding the
state of this pest.

A Prince Of Humbugs-For many
years during the last century there lived
In London a remarkable and ingenious
person who was widely known as the
prince Of Mantua and Montferrat. Un-
der that title he figured in the direc-
tories, he published accounts of his
discoveries and munificent deeds, and
succeeded in arousing the liveliest
hopes of favors to come.
The prince of humbugs and humbug
among princes was originally called
Charles Ottley Groom. The name did
not please him, and he next appeared
as Charles Ottley Groom Napier Of
Merchiston.
Becoming dissatisfied with the name
Of Napier Of Merchiston," he looked
about him for a more imposing title,
and eventually decided in favor Of
prince Of Mantua and Montferrat."
In the pursuit of his ambition he ap-
pears to have been ably seconded by
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-11-08

his mother, who was as anxious as her
son to inhale the incense Of public adu-
lation.
Having decided to become prince Of
Mantua and Montferrat, Iharles Ottley
Groom set about supplying himself
with a pedigree, and by 1879 had sue
ceeded in compiling a voluminous and
amusing document.
The pedigree set out at the begin
ming with Adam and ended with
Charles Ottley Groom Napier. From
David, king of Israel, onward the
prince laid claim to many famous men
as having been among his ancestors.
To give an air Of verisimilitude to his
prodigious pedigree many anecdotes
and particulars were related of real or
imaginary persons Thus Napoleon 1.
is reported to have replied to a Napier,
who begged for the restoration of some
honor that "only priests, women and
fools cared for empty titles" Finally
the authenticity of the whole genoa
logical table was vouched for by 7S
French lawyers and savants-mythical
as the pedigree itself-who are alleged
to have met in solemn conclave in
Paris and delivered their verdict on
December IA, 1878. in the form of an
engrossed certificate duly signed and
sealed.-Cornhill Magazine.

Recalls a Cruel King.-Before Eng
land succeeded in adding India to its
possessions many Britons were cruelty
put to death. Surajah Dowlah, the
ruler of Bengal, was offended at the
action of a few British subjects, and
he ordered his soldiers to throw all the
English they could find into a dun
geon. One hundred and fifty were
jammed into dark hole with only one
little window. The place was like a
vault and fresh air could not penetrate
to the dungeon. The result was that
nearly every one was dead the next
morning. AS a result this dungeon
ever since has been referred to as the
Black Hole of Calcutta

tain Ole Brude, of Seattle, the intrepid
Norwegian sailor who in 1905 crossed
the Atlantic in the Uread, an odd
looking egg-shaped lifeboat, eighteen
feet long, Is planning an interesting
experiment on the Pacific.
Captain Brude has asked permission
Of several Of the trans-Paciflc steam
ship lines to be put adrift in his life
boat from the deck Of one Of the lin

would forfeit a good-sized sum of
money If he was not back in Seattle in

was plenty in the larder when they

"I wish to demonstrate to the ship

boat will not sink or capsize in the

Proud kansas.-Kansas has reaso

Proud kansas-Kansas has reason
to be proud Of her remarkable temper
ance record. In thirty years prohibi-
tion has reduced drinking to a mini
mum and practically emptied her jails.
The per capita consumption Of liquors
in Kansas is now $1.4s a year as COM
pared with $24 in Missouri. Illiteracy
has been reduced from ninety -four per
cent to less than two per cent, and this
small amount is almost entirely among
the foreign element. Pauperism has
been made a negligible quantity, there
being only one pauper to every 5000 Of
the population. One-half Of the coun-
ty jails were absolutely empty in July,
1911. OF 105 institutions for the feeble
minded ninety-six have no inebriates
and thirty eight county poor farms
have no inmates. 1t Is idle to ask
Kansas If prohibition prohibits An
experience of thirty years proves that
it not only prohibits largely the sale
and consumption of liquors, but has
reduced to a minimum poverty, insani-
ty and crime.-Lesslie's Weekly.
