CURRENT COMMENT
Death in the Can.

! 1t is really astonishing, after all the
newspaper exposures, the proclamation,
of doctors and the work of health Off
GERS, that so much dirty milk Is produced
and sold in Vermont, According to the
current bulletin of the state board OF
health, analyses at the state laboratory
of hygiene showed 40 cases of milk and
cream only either "passable'' or barely
passable," and Is samples were found
dirty, very dirty, or in three cases not
only dirty but watered- which might be
regarded as adding insult to injury.
1t would seem that something decisive
ought to be done, to put an end to this
wholesale poisoning of the community.
Is the laboratory quarter after quarter
and year after year to report this deadly
milk, and nothing done about it,
The laboratory has been devoting much
attention to the sanitary condition of
canned goods, in relation to the harmful
presence of lead in the interior An in
creasing number of containers is noted
which are coated inside with lacquer or
enamel. The internal condition of pack
ages of this description has been found,
without exception, excellent by the lab
oratory and goods so packed are recon-
mended TO the consumer. The conclusion,
however, is that at the present time,
at least, it is not practical to pack all
grades OF goods in sanitary or lacquered
cans, and that it is impossible even in
outside soldered cans TO prevent the oc-
casional ingTess of small amounts of
solder into the interior. Therefore, pend
ing further investigation. no objection
will be raised to outside soldered cans
containing small amounts of solder on
the interior. provided that the can con-
forms to the requirements in all other re-
spects amount of tin coating, etc. and
that the contents are in good condition
and entirely free from lead salts. Bur

A QUEENS GIFT.
Ristori's Request When Told "Any'
thing You Ask Me Is Granted"


Mime. Ristori. the celebrated Italian
actress of her day, was born of a no
BILE family, but her illustrious career
added to the glory of her ancestors.
| frequently went to her receptions
and many were the pleasant chats we
had over a cup of tea.
Ii was on one OF these occasions that
she told me the interesting story OF
how when she was once acting in Mad
rid her success was so colossal that
Spanish throne, sent for her. desiring
to speak to her in the royal box. The
queen expressed her pleasure in the en-
thus!asm and then said to Nine. Ris-
tori.
Anything you ask me is granted
Without an instant's hesitation Nine
Ristori replied to the queen: -
Madame. If you really wish to give
me whatever ask will beg you to re-
prieve the poor nam who, as read this
morning, has been sentenced to death
and is to be garroted tomorrow"
The queen hesithted a few seconds
before she granted this wish. But the
reprieve was signel, and the condemn
ed man was, TO his great establishment.
re eased OIL the eve of bis execution,
little dreaming that he owed bis life
to the talented actress. Ii was typical
of Mime. Ristori's noble, generous ma
ture to ask the queen to grant her this
request rather than to ask for some
jewel or other tangible souvenir to
hand down to her descendants.-Fred.

A SPLENDID GIFT.

The village of Bennington is fortu
nate in being enabled to accept gift Of
an established water system, such as
Henry w. Putnam, one of the leading
citizens of the place, proposes to deed
to the corporation. Most Vermont com
munities have been forced to purchase
their municipal water systems at prices
which were well up to the value of the
plants; and because Of that expenditure
the municipal systems have been costly
necessities, and in many cases the mu-
inequalities are still saddled with debt
on account of it. Therefore, for Ben
nington to step into ownership of a sys-
TEN, which is rated to be worth between
quarter and half a million dollars, is
extreme good fortune. Moreover, it is
to be presumed that the Bennington wa
ter system is a paying venture because
of the large demand for water, so that
the village corporation is assured of
good income right at the outset of td
of the business. Mr.. Put
nam's loyalty and liberality are marked

CabhY In a Hurry.

One day 1t was raining very heavily
in London when wealthy merchant on
leaving the exchange hailed cab and
asked to be driven to a distant part OF
the city. On the way the merchant
discovered that he had forgotten to put
his purse in his pocket. What was to
be done? On reaching his destination
he got out of the cab and said TO the
driver:
will you please give me match?
I have dropped a sovereign on the door
of the cab"
Instanter the cabman whipped up his
horse and soon disappeared round the

Principal Events That Have Trans
plred In the Old Countries
Within a Week or So.
DENMARK.

The question of woman suffrage is
now before the Danish house Of com
mons and is arousing widespread in
terest. The reform is bound up with
the projected general amendment OF
the Danish constitution. Two points
are involved: One, the manner Of
election for the Landsthing upper
house,, and two, the lowering of the
qualifying voting age for the lower
house, from 30 to Is years, together
with the extension Of this franchise
to women. With regard to the Lands
thing, it is proposed to abolish certain
privileges, such as the nomination OF
twelve members directly by the king.
and to place the electoral power in the
hands of the municipalities. Since
women have a place on these bodies,
they would also become automatically
included as voters for the upper house.
1t is contended that the proposed
amendment is on the lines of the old
Danish constitution of 1849, into
which the reactionary spirit Of 1866
introduced baneful privileges. The
Liberals, Radicals and Socialists, who
are supporting the premier, show no
wish to exclude women, and the Con-
servatives are also said to be in favor
OF their inclusion.

THOUGHT HIMSELF INVISIBLE
cHicAGOAN SWINDLED BY CON.
JURER ROUGHLY HANDLED
Another, Also "invisible," Hurt BY
+ Auto, Does Not Blame the
Chauffeur.

Chicago, Dec. =. = George A. Pu-
pausky, a banker-copjurer, recently
released from the house of correction
where he was sent by Judge Lands
to serve six months sentence for
selling invisibility ointments and love
charms, has been arrested again. Pu-
pausky sold Anton Lokoritz, a fellow
cOuntryman, black cats ear to make
him invisible. Lokoritz gladly paid
SIS for the charm and put the ear,
according to directions, in his left
waist coat pocket.
Confident in his invisibility Lokor-
itZ then entered saloon with the pro-
prietor of which he was not on friend
ly terms. He stepped behind the bar
and began to help himself to bottled
goods. The bartender Immediately
fell on Lokoritz and hustled him into
the street
"Why, you can't see me. How did
you know was there?" exclaimed Lo-
koritz in bewilderment
Il saw you all right Keep out of
here" admonished the bartender.
Lokoritz went to Pupausky's house,
thinking something must be amiss
He did not see the conjuror but was
met by woman who heard his com.
plant.
''The trouble is," she said, that you
should have had magic bean. The
cats ear is no good without the bean :"
Lokoritz bought a bean and returned
to the saloon. No one noticed him and
he thought this time he had the right
magic. He went behind the bar again
but was deserted without difficulty by
the bartender, who elected Lokoritz
more energetically than before so that
he had several bruises to show the po-
lice when he made his complaint
Another man bought black cats
ear and was run over soon after by an
automobile The man did not make a
complaint, his friends said, because he
was invisible and could not blame the
chauffeur for not seeing him.

Things We're Ashamed Of

scrapers" has two black cats which
have been in its service for several
years. These cats are usually domi-
ciled in the editorial department on
the seventh floor, where they have
many friends among the employers.
Recently for certain reasons the cats
were degraded" to the printing de-
partment on the sixth floor. This
treatment they naturally resented.
and the elder. grayer and more re-
sourceful of the two has hit upon the
following ingenious expedient to re-
gain his old haunts and friends. Ev-
cry morning at eight o'clock he waits
at the gates of an ascending elevator
and entering with the connivance Of
the operator is conveyed to the sew
enth floor. where he alghts. The cat
is somewhat advanced in years" and
moreover, being an American citizen
does not see the force of climbing a
stairway" when he can go up by the
elevator.
