Mr, Nichols, the other commissioner. has always been rated aa a man of sound Judgment.

He may not have had a great deal to do with Jails In the past but it is safe gamble to state that he probably knows more about Jails and jail construction, knowledge which he has gathered since he was appointed on the jail com mission, than both the editors of the News and the Free Press together. Personally, the publisher of this paper does not care a rap where the jail is built, but he Is opposed, utterly so, against in creasing the expense of constructing the new Jail simply to satisfy the whim of some person or persons who have a real estate transaction they wish to push forward at a price. If there is any graft in this Jail proposi tion it would appear to the unprejudiced mind to be a realty graft rather than one on the part of 'the commission. When the News editor squares himself with the public regarding the compliment he gave the present Jail in 1895 and the roast he gave it 4n 1907 then the of this paper, his entire staff and the devil will wralk into the Almanac sanctum and apologize for attempting a joke on one of so serious a mind.

Julius, professor of physics in tho University of Utrecht, has cam to the United States to spend several months In study at the famous solar observatory at Mount Wilson, near Pasadena, CaL "There is no place in the Old World so favorable for observing; the sun as this observatory In California," said Dr. Julius, "not only on account of its unequalled apparatus, but for ciimato-logical rtBom. We can do very litle studying on the orb in Holland, because the atmosphere is thick and moist In California physical conditions are well nlgb parfect Mount Wilson is the only place that has thus far been dedicated to solar observation alone, and we may expect that Prof. Hale, who has charge there and who has already added much to our knowledge of the great luminary, will give to the world much additional Information along the same line. It Is possible that scientists by concentrating their attention on solar phenomena may give mankind a great deal of useful Information as to the influences exerted by the source of 11 gh and heat.

I am inclined to think that study of the. sun will be pursued to such advantage that ere long weather prediction may be reliably made a long way in advance. BABY'S EYES. A smile leaps Into the deps of blue 'Neath Baby's hair of gold: The spirit of Puck laughs out at you. Impishly swagger and bold; Hinting of elfish revels, beneath clear, moonlit skies Where is the horn of mischief but In Baby's sparkling ej'e.

Up from the depths twin tears har welled. Shining like Jewels fair; Sobs are riding, unchecked, nnquelled Woe his Young" Shining Hinting of large sorrows, in the coming years of sighs. Where is the home of sadness but i Baby's clouded eyes? But mark now steadily one light glovet Fed by no teaching or art; Straight to the bosom of man It goes. Warming the coldest heart; Hinting of trust and worship and devotion that never dies. Where is the home of love itself but ir Baby's tell-tale eyes? GREAT BRITAIN'S CUSTOMERS.

For weak worn-out, over-worked women no matter what has caused the break-down, "Favorite Prescription "will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps eacn Dome giving the formulae of both medielnes and quoting what scores of eminent medical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools oi practice as guides in prescribing, say of each ingredient entering into these medicines. The words of praiso bestowed on the several ingredients entering into Doctor 1'ierce's medicines dv sucn writers snouia have more weight than any amount of non orof essional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non-secret, and contain no harmful habit-forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants. They -are both sold by dealers in medicine.

There one of the officers fives him a serious "talking to." And It oftea happens that the young man's escapades have been of an Innocent nature, and he leaves the ofHee with a duly contrite heart resolved upon speedy reformation. If an employe's misconduct has been serious, or if he appears recalcitrant when advised to give up bad habits, th- surety company threatens to cancel his bond which is equivalent to making" him lose his job. This usually brings him to hi? senses. "But when men show a tendency to gamble and otherwise misconduct them selves," remarked one of those who know, "the result is usually the same. They begin to embezzle money, and eventually entail upon the company which has gone surety for them the la.js of the amount of their bond." In connection with the surveillance of employes practiced by the surety com panies a downtown business man tells an amusing story.

It seems that in banks and similar in stitutions of the Wall street region young beginners whom the magnates intend to honor with promotion to more responsible jobs are shadowed for some time previous to receiving such promotion, in order that their employers may feel sure that their actions outside the office are prudent and reputable. One youth fixed upon for promotion discovered one day that an elderly man was following him about wherever he went. Rightly surmismg that he was being trailed by order of the 'boss," the youth became a model of good behavior. He retired early. He sought few frivolous glitter shows.

Now- and then, as" a supreme climax of dissipa tion, he hied himself soberly to the Polo Grounds, there to sit in rapt con templation of the National game. And wherever he went the elderly party went, too. Finally one night, the young man, growing restless, rose from his bed about midnight, and decided to go out and have a mild lark with some friends He dressed he had retired somewhere near sunset stole down the stairs, and out the front door. On the stoop, alert and vigilant sat the elderly man. Losing- all patience the young man attacked the sleuth and gave him a severe drubbing.

Of course the outraged detective hurried to Wall street bright and early the next morning with the tale of his dis comfiture. Instead of being promoted, the youth was promptly discharged. Not only do the surety companies, as a rule; work In conjunction with the Pinkertons, but also with the American Bankers' association. Banking compa nies which are members of this body, by paying a certain annual contribu tion have a right to a certain amount of protection from the affiliated surety companies. Other banks pay somewhat more and get direct service from the Pinkerton detectives.

According to the statements of surety company officials, the percentage of employes who abscond with stolen funds or are found short in their ac counts is email. THE JATX. COMMISSIONERS. (From the Burlington Clipper.) The Mr. Llpplncott referred to In the arUcl.

that appeared in the News, of Jure 27 is the of ths Fai-ly Jail company. The Pauly Jail company hn erected jails In many places New England. Vermont has several of them and so far as Is known these jail3 are giving the best of satisfaction. It does not matter to the Pauly teopl whether the Jail Is built on the old site or on the Davis lot. It does matter, however, to the commissioners.

They have had their instructions and the amount of money they can put into a Jail has been named. If Burlington wish to go into their pockets and dig up the amount of the increased cost of building a jail on the new then that is their funeral. But it not be surprising if at the next legislature a bfll were presented asking that this dif ference be made up by the tax payers of the Whole county. Such things hava hap pened before In Vermont, The News has referred to the Van Dorn Iron company, stating that a representative of this concern was not accorded the privilege of bidding on the contract. Before letting the contract the commission ers inspected the work of the Van Dorn concern in more than one place.

The New York city tombs were built by the Van Dorn company. The commissioners went through the tombs. Their investigation demonstrated to them that Chittenden county would not be pleased with a jail of the Van Dorn type. Sheriff Reeves for 12, years the high sheriff of Chittenden county, Is a mem ber of the Jail commission.

Owing to this State of affairs, the regular bonding or surety companies came Into existence. Nowadays they do 'practically all the business of bonding -employes. Banks or other business 'ihouses adhering to the old personal system are considered far behind 'the times.
