NEW CIDREfl'S INSTITUTE The Different Points Visited by Trustees Location In llurllne tiui Ailvocntril, (lie Dr. P. 12. MeSweeney, who with Dr. W. J. Aldrlch of St. Johnsbury and Dr. I. S. Ooburn of Milton, trustees of tho Institution for the training and care of feeble minded youth, visited 11 number of similar Institutions In other States, re turned to Hurllmrton Tuesday mornintj. Dr. MeSweeney said the board had se cured Important nnd valuable data as a result of the tour of inspection, and ho believes Vermont can provide an Institu tion that will he a credit. Other States havlnt; untitled Vermont of their inability to care futther for the children sent from the State of Vermont there was no alter native hut to provide for their caro with in our own holders. The first point visited was IChvyn, Pa., where Vermont has four or live children and where thero aro SO) feeble minded children all told. Tho next institution visited was in Vlneland, N. J., where Vermont has half a dozen or so children, the total attendance being 3'U. The most Interestlni: institution Inspected In many tespects Is that at Waverley, Mass., where there are l.f,v children, the State paying .$3ni,eoo annually, with as much more received from other sources. All the officers nnd others connected with the management of the Institutions consulted said the first necessity was n good large farm, where the Inmates of tho Institution could work as opportunity nffnrded and be kept in the open air as much on possible. All the authorities agreo that It Is desirable not to have too expensive buildings, although especial caro needs to bo exercised to have tho rooms as well ventl nted and sanitary as possible. Dr. MeSweeney believes with so many Institutions tor the amelioration of the condition of unfortunate children in thi3 city, with the medical college and tho hospitals and with this city about mid way by rail between the industrial school at Vergenncs and the central part of the State, no hetter location than Burlington could be secured for the new Institution, and it can readily be understood why In many ways this is the most accessible point as well as the mot deslrablo loca tion that could be selected.

A young Icelander, going ncross th desert from Reykjavik, met a man rldlim a pony. Such meetings arc rare Indent in those parts, and, like ships at sea, the tw hulled and spoke "Where aro you going?" "To prison for stealing a sheep." "No one taking you?" "No; tho sheriff was busv. eo he f;a.v mo my papers tind sent me off," The 11 en exchanged snuff and a kiss, nnd parted. A week later the young Icelander wns returning, nnd near the same spot he mot the same man. "What I" he cried. "Why, you said you wero going to prison." "So l was, hut I had lost my papers, nnd the sheriff s ltd ho would not take mo In without my warrant." Columbus Dls-pritch.
