in Austria Hungary TO include all heirs
to a crown" Indeed the Hapspurg curse
seems to rest upon all persons having
close relationship to the aged Emperor
Franz Josef, the death of Archduke Fer
dinand, the heir to the dual throne, and
his morganatic wife, the Duchess Of
Tiohenberg, having completed a series Of
royal family fatalities without parallel
in modern history
The Curse of the Hapsburgs, which,
according to the superstitious has fol-
lowed the kin of Francis Joseph, now
known as the Emperor of Sorrows"
was pronounced by the aged Countess
Carolyn, whose son was put to death for
participating in the uprising In behalf
of Hungary This avenging mother
called upon both Heaven and Hades to

happiness of the Emperor and striking

BETTER DROP IT"


IF the Governor should drop his man
damus suit against the State treasurer
what will become of his charge that the
treasurer 'wilfully and maliciously and
with intent to deceive the Governor con-
cealed certain material facts. 1t would
seem that such an allegation was too
serious to be passed over lightly and that
n competent authority should pass on
the Governors allegation. Was the
charge a fact or was ii simply legal
gush? Montpelier Argus.
If the Argus and its advisers and I .
Montpelier concern involved really know
when they are well clear of a serious
embarrassment. they will quit this sort
of insinuation and let the nond matter
drop. Certainly If Mr.. Deavitt wants the
entire matter gone into on its merits.
he an be speedily accommodated and
! certainly if some of his correspondence
in the matter reaches the public prints,
he will have cause to avail himself of
the ancient petition:
Come, therefore. | pray thee. curse
me this people. Numbers xxi: II.
Or, If he prefers, he might use the
classic:
Deliver me from my friends" He
might even qualify the noun by hyphen-
hting 1t into ''fool-friends."

AN ELECTRICAL VACUUM WASHER.

An electrically operate washing ma
chine has been developed which cleanses
clothes by forcing water through them
instead of by rubbing them on a CORFU
gated surface. A continuous flow of wa
ter is maintained through the fabrics by
creating an air pressure and a vacuum
on opposite sides of the mass of clothes
being washed. The washer is designed
to be attached to twin stationary tubs Of
any size or make. The machine can
wash. wiring or rinse simultaneously or
separately as desired All parts Of this
washer are accessible easily removable.

,ne of the first, if not the first, COM
monwealths to establish a State labora-
tory of hygiene under the auspices of a
State board of health for the promotion
Of the public health in every community
of the State as a whole. The progress
siveness of our State in this respect is
anquestonably to be attributed in no
small degree to the fact that we had
maintained a live medical college and
developed men who spent both time and
trouble and investigation as we'll as

front rank Of medical study and develop

than ever before to the prevention of
disease ana no class Of men are more
thoroughly interested and active and en-
thusiastic in this cause than the ply
sicians of Vermont themselves who
some people would say are thus working
directly against their own interests. But
this is nothing new The physicians Of
Burlington had more than any other one
class of people to do with the improve
ment of the character of our water sup

eases resulting from this source are
practically eliminated
Through the holding of schools for
health officers and the efforts Of ply
sicians of the State in general the death

well as in Burlington, and the men who
have been educated in the University of
Vermonts College of Medicine are every

movements looking to the promotion OF
the public health in every possible way,
A pertinent question is asked in this
