birds" After all, a The Journal of
the American Medical association, we
need go no deeper for an adequate ex-
PLANTATION than that influences, such as
music, which are agreeable, are there

because its component tones are reg

waves precisely so many to each note,
being in this regard unlike noises,
which are irregular, dissonaEt, con

the perception Is conveyed to the brain.
The benignant influence Of music ply

the sympathetlS system, which directs
the various orkans. Thus not only is
music physic Tor the soul. designating

WAS VERY MUCH IN EARNEST
Woman's Desire for Liberation From
Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands of Arizona. Just how 1t
happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of a parched river
it suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed in three feet of
muddy water at the bottom Of the
river bed.
Within the ears there was some
natural confusion. Men, womel and
lunch boxes were thrown into a heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left in the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
real car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means Of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was damned tight. Just then, in the
midst Of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice in emphatic demand:
Let me out! Let me out! II you
don't let me out, I'll break a window"

Buzzard Carries Off De-.

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry of almost
anything from a man to cat, but
the first instance known when a buzz
zard carried off a dog was witnessed
on a recent afternoon. The incident
happened a few miles from Bessemer.
A very brave little fox terrier was
e~ndeavoring to chase off a large buzz
card that had alighted on the ground.
He only succeeded in making the
buzzard fly close to the ground for a
short distance. The buzzard stopped
on a short stump and waited for the
dog, which came barking around the
root Of the stump.
The buzzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump, seized the
dog In its mouth and claws, and few

In his famous interview in the London
Daily Mail the kaiser claimed credit for
the English plan Of campaign against the
Beers:
Nor was that all. Just at the time of
your black week, in the December Of 1899,
when disasters followed one another In
rapid succession, I received a letter from
Queen Victoria, my revered grandmother,
written in sorrow and afdictioa, and bear
ing manifest traces Of he nxleties which
were preying upon her mind and health.
/ at once returned a sympathetic reply.
Nay, / did more. / bade one of my Off
GERS procure for me as exact an account
as he cotfd obtain OF the number OF COM
batants in South Africa o II both sides.
With the figures before me, I worked out
what / considered to be the best plan Of
campaign under the circumstances, n
submitted 1t to my general staff for their
criticism. Then / dispatched 1t to Eng
land. and that document, likewise, Is
among the state papers al Windsor Gag
tie, awaiting the serenely impartial YER
dict Of history. And. as y matter OF Gu
rious coincidence, let me add that the plan
which I formulated ran very much on the
same lines as that which was actually
adopted by Lord Roberts and carried by
him into successful operation"

The state house addition lost by a

The state house addition lost by

being 113 to 4S. Preferential pri-
mary also had its friends, yes 70, no

Der of voters deciding that the
would like to have both, and voting
yes on both propositions.-New
item from Vergennes Enterprise.
Several persons and newspapers,
particularly the Windsor Journal
have tried to cast discredit on the
primary referendum because of the
small vote cast on the question. The
above paragraph from the Vergennes
paper tells the story correctly All
over the state many voters failed to
heed the warnings that were given
and did not discriminate between the
preferential and the direct and voted
for both thus involidating their bal
lot. In Bennington 2S7 ballots so
marked were thrown out as defective
and there was similar proportion In
other towns in the county, over 500
all told. Doubtless the same thing
happened in the rest of the state as
in Bennington and Vergennes. II
can be said surely about these thous-
ands of votes is that they were In Ia
yor of primary of some sort and if
even half OF them should be counted
in favor of the direct primary the
majority in the state was over 10000
or nearly four to one. Anybody who
has the temerity to propose anything
other than straightforward direct
primary for Vermont will indicate a
surprising degree of contempt for the
mandate of the people.
