California advising Vermont authorities
that insanity is not an eXtraditable Of

voted to turn the entire dairy herd of
80 cattle at the Masonic home here over
to the state to be killed in accordance
with. the law governing the disposition
of tuberculous cattle.
The Masonic home has been working
for 81 years to develop this herd, and
many of the animals are purebred and

Col. William II. Hall of Williston, who
valued him at 5000.
The herd was used to furnish the
milk, butter and beef to the home, none

was discovered by the butcher of the
home in January, when he slaughtered
a steer for beef He reported to the
managers that there were evident signs

the state to make an examination of
the herd with the result that Saturday s
report showed every one of the 80 cattle
reacted to the tuberculin test.

Buttons and Locks Bring
Labor Saving Devices
From Doors and
Walls

CHICAGO, Apr. 10.-The hidden trap
doors, secret chambers and underground
passages of the old romances are rivalled
by ingenious novelties in home furnishing
which are being produced this year. A
house fitted throughout with the new de-
vices would have all the mystery and
surprise of a fictitious Gothic castle, but
with modernness and domesticity as the
keynote. This new romanticism in dwell
ing-house equipment was evidenced at the
annual Own Your Home exposition in the
Coliseum here.
For in these days twin beds swing into
the clothes closet; an ironing board I'M
folds at the pressure of a button; a seat
energies from a panel secreted in the
wall of the kitchen, and the rear door
may be equipped with cabinets in the
lower panel for the delivery of groceries,
with a set of trick locks TO prevent the
reopening of the door, and with auto
matte signs to indicate when the cabi-
nets are full.
An electric. double-spindled sewing
machine masquerades as an assembly of
card tables or bookcases. A substitute
for swingdoOrS has been devised which
slides gently from view, apparently into
nowhere.

Bathroom devices include a halflength
tub arranged to enable one to battle in a

forming a foot-basin. There are shower
attachments.
Inventions intended to simplify kitchen
work include detachable spout for the

In the new devices cultural and esthetic
cravings, as well as utilitarian needs, are
remembered. In one, music from talk

from an automatically set and electrically
operated player piano.
Among numerous novelties in heating
is a hOt-water heating system with a fur
mace and tank smaller than an ordinary
stove and adapted for place in the
kitchen of u four-room house.
Another heating device is a fan in
tended to push the air from hot-air plants
into the rooms before heating the radia-

the temperature of a room reaches 40 de-
grees and to start it when the tempera

The spring-time of the Soul.

Dead Winters hands relax their hold
Their scepter. falls away:
The cruel magic of the cold
Seems banished in a day.
A CLEAN of unexpected gold
Makes glad the rivers flood
And fair as Aaron's rod of old
The patient willows bud.
Young grasses murmur in their sleep
And where the mysteried pines
Are clustered on the hillside steep
Grow green and slender vines.
The hyacinths-the daffodils,-
Rejoice the lingering eye
And speaking from the far-of hills
The wind makes prophecy
The fields and hooks are open books
Inscribed for you and me
And ever-more the country brooks
Are singing of the Sea!
Thrill is everywhere
In earth and sea and sky;
A gIadness sweetens all the air
And on the wind goes by;
Like golden isles the clouds appear
The vaporS upward roll
It is the warning of the year,
