Tho first boat lowered was dashed against thoaldos of tho ship and broken Into pieces by tho force of tbo waves, and tbo next throe mot with tlio snmd fata Ko ono was in tboso boats.

This boat took tho load and carried signal lanterns in bow and stern- notifying tbo others to fol- -. low. . The storjn was spt heavy, that It was • all tho little boats could do to keep oSoat without paying any attention to tbo direo- tion they woro purfiulug, and thoy woro soon soparated, and all tbat Is now known positively Is what became of Captain Ber- rl'a party. : Tbe story of tho.snrvlvorsls onool mad- . ness and death brought on by tbedaya . spont on tho ocean In an open boat with- • out foodordrink.

Tho first boat lowered w a s dashedaga ins t tho aldos of tho ship and brokenInto pieces by tho force of tbo waves , andtbo next throe mot with tlio snmd fata Koono was in tboso boats.

In Captain Berrl's bnnt, which is thoonly ono that' has1 boon beard from, were85 persons; lnclndlng Mr. and Mr3. Tojadawith tholr four children. This boat tooktho load and carried signal lanterns inbow and stern- notifying tbo others to fol- -.low. . The storjn was spt heavy, that It was •all tho little boats could do to keep oSoatwithout paying any attention to tbo direo-tion they woro purfiulug, and thoy worosoon soparated, and all tbat Is now knownpositively Is what became of Captain Ber-rl'a party. :

This stato of affaire continued untilSunday afternoon lost,, when Mr. Tejada,who was sitting in tbo Btorn of tbo boatclinging to Hfo with apparent dcaperatlon—for ho was uot nearly as strong apparentlyas many mpmbcrs of tbo crow and tho offi-cers who had died' tieforohlm—saw rt fjfiliin thd di a tan co, and calling upon his com*panlons to'help succeeded- in getting a re-Bponso to signals from tho schooner Hilda, -which boroidqwn upon; thorn and rescuedtbo 4 who were left of tho 85 origlunllyin tho boat..

THE IRON ERA, DOVER, N. J., MARCH 49, 1897.
POUT MORRIS.Engine No- 112 camo from Kingslaud sbop
lust week mid looks real nice in her new dressof black paint. It pulls trains from Wash-ington liero.
Tlio engine on Sam Johnson's drill blew outa cj lindor head nbout one o'clock lost Satur-day and one of tbo pieces hit bmkenmn Lew.Uttggcrty right in the middle of hb forehead,nmklug tho Llood fly right fast for a fewminutes, but, fortunately for him, it madsonly a wound that broke tho sUu about ouoand a quarter inches Ions and did not pene-trate much beyond Iho s>kiu. IIo wa9 gellingalong nicely at lost accounts.
A inoLhor was telling a boy something Hiuthnpnoned to her when tbo boy uaid : "Did itnot almost mnko you swear V The nmtheransworod : " You It now wo never &weur inour house. I never heard your father swearand I never think of it, though I got tolera-bly well provoked at you folks sometimes.""If you were down town you wou'd think itwas tho fashion," said tho boy. And that isa fact.
I went into tho drug store at Staiihopa theother night and said to Dr. Neldn : "Harry,1 am hoai'ac, can't y. u j;ivo mo something totiiako me talk straight V A young man whowas In tho Flare said: " " A man is quitoananimal when ho is a horse." " Yes," I said,"aud somo iron oro only animals and arcnot horses either."
I had just como out of tho barber shopWIIPIO ono of those Lawreuco boys from"Waterloo had been making a nuisance of him-self for half an hour. Ha was BO druuk whenhe camo in that he could not find tho knob oftho door und when Julius opened it and hohad taken a scat ho opened his mouth find aB.ream of profanity that would have shocked"Bob" Ijigersoll issued therefrom. Juliustr.'cd moral tniasion on him first but to nopurpO3?. Finally, after nbout half on hourof continued mingled blasphemy and pro-faniiy, the barber threatened to havo himarrested if ho did not go out and ho went.And there was peace in tho shop for tbortmoindcr of tho evening,
" I would hato to havo anybody call mo ananimal," said a gentleman in my hearingonce, when somebody olsoivns trying topravothat man was an animal. But it this manI-.it •* reuco, when ho Is drunk, is not lowerthan any other animal yon over saw I wouldliko to know. Tlio comtitutlon of thesoUnited States says all men wero b rn froe andcqua'. That is a fnct. No doubt, when thisdrunken Liwronco was a baby bo was thoequal of Soymour Smith, and was as free tocrawl around and yell. Behold, what differ-ent uses they havo put their frcodom to.Seymour Smith is now President of theHaekottaton-n bank ; a good citizen, belovedand respected by his neighbors, -while thoother baby, who has attainod tbo dignity ofwhiskers, now is a drunkou buffoon, whotbiuks man was mad? far no nobler purpossthan to get drunk and swear.
" Ia there for honest povertyWho hangs his head and a' thatTho coward knavo wo pass him byAnd daro ho poor for a' that."
From the swaggering, swearing, drunkard,good Lord deliver us. They don'b all Hvo atWaterloo cither. ButStanhopohasalock-upaud so has Nowton, aud they got thorn forjust such crazy nuisances as this Lawrencefellow at Waterloo. Nest timo lie comes toStanhope it will bo well far him to keep soberor the constable may bo around aud ho mayfind what an excellent placo tho "cooler" isto sober up In.
Every now and then I hear a lot of BtulTabout how much better every thing is inEurope than iu this fro3 land where tho Pres-ident is apt, almost any day, to shake handswith tbo man in overalls without thinking bohas done anything beneath his dignity. Yea,I havo been told aforetime how much supe-rior to ours European railroads were withtheir compartment passenger cars, whereLords nnd ladies, dukes and duchesses, mayrldo ''/reo from tho roaJd'ng crowd," anduo poor whlta trash can. come between tliowind and their nobility." "Whereas million-aire and trackmen, tho man with tho gripand the fellow with his overall* oil, "un-crowned kings" and Yankee ladles "who areall angeta, God bless 'cm," with maybe- anoxcep'ion horeaod there to proro the rule,Hetty Green and tho girl with ihe calicocirefs, pay tho same fare aud may rido iu thoBarao < ar,
''Princess and peers may flourish or may fadeA breath may make them as a breath has
made.""With all their talk, Americans are proud of
their railroads, their convenience, speed andcheapufES. If you go to Europe tbiB summerjust comparo a rido in ono of their compart-ment cars, whero you aro kindly locked upby your lonesome, lest you should get lost,with a ride on No. 4 or 13 on tho M. & E.Division cf tlio D., L. & W., for instance, oron Uip Erie or Pennsylvania. If Europeantrains made American tiino their traios wouldrock and roll liko a sbip in a heavy sea.
Sleeping car rates at $1.50 to $2 ere consid-er od high by some of our folks, hut in Europea.tinglo bed with fewer conveniences costs6215. The European bnggsge s; stein is simply infernal. There is no through checkingand ovory passenger Is supposed to look afterbis own baggago at every point of transfer.Our accident insurance a; rangementfi at tliodepot; our free time tables, bureaus of infor-mation, methods of selling newspapers,candy and chewing gum, aro unknown inEurope. The New fork newspapers mako agood deal of fun of tho elevated railroads,tho importance of its ticket choppers and tboway tlie cais are lighted, but Iho lighting oftbo cars fu Europe is worse than oven that.I reckon when you got dawn to the bottom ofIt you will find American railroads away upin front. Verily, American railroads aregroat institutions. Do you know that in 1S'J5they carried in tho United States' alono S5,-527,515,601 tons of freight n milo. Do youknow that ono mill per milo would giveAmerican railroad companies 885,000,000more to work on! It would give employ-ment to 181,000 men at $L60 per day. Itwould mnko hoppy and furnish food andclothing for 034,000 dependents. And theone-tenth of ono per cent, a tnllo is Iho slen-der thread between Iho prosperity and Insol-vency of our railroad systems. In tho samuway, a tariff just low enough to admit for-eign gcods destroys American industry andtakes tbo bread out of tho mouths of Amor-
>. i:aa operatives. If tho railways bad earnedthis much more last year they would prob-ably havo distributed most of it In viagi's tolabor, for our railroads aro nob only distrib-u to r of passengers and freight-, but of labor-ers . and money as well. Unllko bauks, rail-roads never hoard money, tho fellows whoyell "soulless corporations" notwithstanding."Wherever they go they give employment to
. labor, help Industry and encourage trade.Every month tho pay car of tho railroadcompany goee forth and scattera money atevery station along its lino. Every shop',every factory, gets some, including the but-cher, tbe baker, the clothing store, tlio shoobbop, and so on, all being the recipients of tbomillions annually distributed in this way byour roiiroadB. When tbo rovenucs of ourmil ways are reduced by unreasonable compe-tition or unfavorable legislation desolationand distress spread into these smalt townsand cities—and somo largo towns, too. IhusTV hen a laboring man, a tradesman, or a
farmer votes to reduce tho income of theserailroad companies below the point whore theproperties etui ha Uupt up, he is indirectly re-ducing his own \vnf*es, throwing himself orsomebody cite out of a job, injuring his ownbusiness, or, an in the case of tho farmer,destroying the homo market for liis products,Tliu reduction of the earnings of Ihe peoplehas reduced their consumption of food. Oncepivo Ibosj engaged in manufacturing andour railroad peoplu full wages nnd full em-ployment and the farmer will soon begiu torealize tliut tho policy which closed tho mills
il factories and starved tho railroads Is tinpolicy which starved tho country.

Stato Hospital nt Morris Plains* a Sceneor Greatest Splendor.
That gala event of tho year, tbe annualfancy dress hall at the Now Jersey StateHospitnl at Morris Plains, took place onWednesday night and fully came up to thoexpectation of tlio most sanguine among itspromoters. This bnll is usually held onWashington's birthday, but liad to bo post-)oned this year on account of ihe prevalence
of. contagious diseases iu and nboub MorrisPlains al that time. This is how it cameabout that in the matter of decorations tboPotion Saint of Ireland divided honors withtho illustrious Father of h's country, forwhile in tbo amusement hall the patrioticcolors of the Union predominated, thoro waBa sprinkling of green, with hero and tberotho Harp of Erlu emblazoned on banners, the
holo producing a very fluo effect. A littlebefore seven o'clock about 75 couples assem-bled on the third floor of tho south wmg of
building aud formed in pairs ready toenter tbo amusement ball, which is locatedon that floor. Promptly at seven o'clock theine of march started, with Medical Director
B. D. Evans and Mrs. Evau3,richly costumedMarquis de Lnfayetto and Madamo de
Stael, ottbe head, nud followed In pairs byDr. mid Mrs. Gorton and members oftho medical and business staffs' and other•ttaclics and patients, resplendent in fancy
costumes, representing noh'es nnd high dig-.nltaries of every ago and clime, besides char-acters of lesser note, tbo wholo forming anensemble most pleasing to look upon. Whilelhe hospital orchestra discoursed entrancingmelodies these couples woro announced byheir titles by tho herald, who received their
cards from a nimble page, and wero presentedto Georgo and Martha Washington, imper-sonated by "Wardm M. K. Everitt and biswife.
After tho ceremony of presentation, Sena-or Vroeland, of Morristown, and Senator
Ketcbam, of Mowark, wero to havo made ad-dresses, but both wero detained iii Trentonit tho lost moment by important business.
At the closo of tho presentations iho hos-)ltal orchestra broke forth into n beautiful
march and tho grand inarch, led by Dr. 8.D. Evans aud Mra. Evans, as Marquis do
ifnyetto, andMadam& do Stael commenced.The effect of tho march to tho visitors lookingon from tho Btnge was very pleasing. Thegrotesque costumes and variegated coloringsmade a beautiful sight as tho multitude ofdancers crossed each other in tho maze of thevarious evolutions through which they passod.Tho close of tho march, which had been per-formed without an error, found tbo couplesfumed iu a bollow square. At this point themusic changed to a waltz and tlio line wasimmediately transformed to an exhilaratingdanco, after ...which a varied program ofdances was gone through. Ono of thesedauces was the minuet landers, danced bythose representing tbe followiug characters :Romeo and Juliet, Columbus and Isabella,Merchant of Venice and Portia, Hamlet andOphelia, Sir Walter Italeigh and Elizabeth,Orlando and Rosalind, Kiogof tbe Dudesand Queen of tlto Jockeys, Paul Revere andBarbara Froitchte. This dance was executedin a perfect manner, tbero being not a Blugleerror in ib throughout, and tho effect of thesecharacters daucing togothor called to mindin a forceful nmtmoV tho romances and his-toric events in which somo of them figured.Dancing continued till about 11 o'clock whentbo visitors returned to their respective homesmd tbo patients to"tbelr wards, all feeling
happy.

The Food of Children.Tho important question of fond for chil-
dren is dlscuBKcd by Annn C. Pollok in thoWashington Homo Magazine. Inthollrstilacc, flho gayB, do not feed tho childreniaker's bread if you can possibly manngo
to give them a good homcinndo lonf. TJioflour used in tho ordinary baker's loaf doesnot compare favorably with that used inmaking bread at homo as to tho amountof nutriment contained in It, nnd tho ex-traordinary baker's loaf has hod tho fer-menting process so extended that not aUttio of tho proportion of nutriment whichIt originally possessed has been destroyedheforo it is baked. And, again, tho bakingof tho bnkcr's loaf is very frequently BOvery indifferently performed as to inako ofit n dangerous article of food when fresh,and no ono craves itBtalo, except for toast.And, still again, all bakers aro not so su-perior to tho temptation presented by suc-cessfully manipulated adulterants as toplaco their bread beyond suspicion.
Then do not nttompt to feod and nonr-h children, nor any ono rise, for that
matter, on tho "beautiful whito loaf," ofwhich, in tho ignorance of our hearts, wohavo bcon provo to boast, AB a "staff of
life," and that is what our bread, and,again, especially our. children's bread, issupposed to to, tho "beautiful whito loaf"is a fraud. As a starch food It is an emi-nent SQCCOSS and undoubtedly vcrj> deli-cious nnd may be UKcd occasionally to varythe monotony of tho usual bill of faro.But It gives to us llttlo except heat andfat, while tho brown breads glvo food toall parts ot tho body and constitute a true,complete focd. 1 sincerely wish that Icould persuadu all house mothers to takothis matter to heart. Our children aro fed£0 largely on bread and consume, com-paratively speaking, BO small a proportionof meat that it is of first importance thatWo should givo to them in their bread all'tho necessary materials for tho properbuilding up of their bodlcB, and that woshould deliberately give to them only apart of their proper food and deliberatelythrow away the rest becntiBo of a foolishprejudice in favor of u whito loaf is moatremarkable and most censurable Certain-ly thero is anno choice between tho twokinds of bread as to taste, but tho differ-ence is so Blight nnd ft preference for onoor tho other EO largely a matter of habitthat this fildo of tho question is of but llt-tlo moment. And particularly It need cotbo considered, where tho children aro con-cerned, except (IB an argument In Its favor,for I havo never known a child who wouldnot select tbo entire wheat or grahambread In preference to tbo white.

On Signing One's Name.Do tell tho women," begged a lady of
great wealth tho other day," tell tho wom-en never to sign a paper tbo contents ofwhloh they do not fnlly understand. Intho sorrow and excitement of a certainhour I put my namo to a dooumont whichplaced my money and my affairs at thomeroy of a money' changer for a dozenyears. Had I only told him that I wouldthink it over beforo signing I should havohad fower sleepless nights and fewer grayhairs. Why did my father or my husbandnever toll mo this?" -^ '
To think over a paper, or at least toread it carefully beforo signing—this pre-cept should bo taught every girl and wom-an as tho alphabet of business affairs.Many things may bo safely' left her tolearn by experience, but not this. Too of-ten it means hor gentlo acquiescence in aman's "Sign hero," with a consequentadoption of other persons' obligations ortho abrogation of her own perquisites andproperty.
A person's signature, standing beforetho law for oneself, is entitled to properrespect, nnd how to sign is scarcely lessimportant than what not to sign. Every-body should adopt and oling to the uso oft certain stylo of autograph. Womenjhoulcl uso their Christian names, nevertheir husbands', and omit Mrs. or Miss asa prefix. A signature should never be leftcarelessly on pieccB of blank pnper, wherounscrupulous use might bo mado of it, andit should bo distinctly legible.
A Tfojnan' should learn also to respecttho signature of thoso of even her nearestkin. Messenger boys Bay that they arodoily asked by ladles If they shall signtholr own or tholr husbands' names on re-ceipt books. Tho New York Tribuno ro-cently portrayed a pretty brldo with nopractical knowledge of a checkbook. Tbodeliverer of o choico piece of brlo-a-braohad Insisted on payment at tho door. Thoyoung woman explained thut evening tohor husband that as she had fortunntelyremembered how ho had drawn oehccKtho previous day and whero ho bud lefthis checkbook sho mado ono out for thomerchant, adding: . . . „

Death and the Child.I recently witnessed the sad sight of a
llttlo child crying "Mamma, mamma"over tho unresponsive form of its mother,cold in death, find heard her heartrendingscreams when that mother was lowerednto tho grave. I t further confirmed my
belief that llttlo children should not wit-ness Bucb awful scenes. Older people arostaid ami kept up by the understandingand belief of tho immortality of tho soulBut the little child has no such comfort,It sees death in all its awfulness, withouta ray of light or a'glixnpEO of tbo Saviour'ssoothing smlla I t Is very bard to makolittle child understand that its mother haagono to n beautiful homo in heaven tolive when It bus eeon her form put in tliocola, cruel grave. How often wo hear chil-dren say that grandma or the baby Js In aholo In the ground. What an awful thoughtthat is for a little child, when It ought tobe believing and drowning of beautifulangels and that bright flowery homo above.
I think no child should bo allowed towitness death until it 1B old enough to un-derstand tho oeparntlon of the immortalspirit from tho mortal form. It would homuch better to keep it away until allthat denotes tho material With Into hcav-en has been removed and then tell it thatbeautiful etory of tlio Saviour's coming.'

Tho grandmother wasone who had hat\ a large family of childrenof her own. Her circumstances had beenbut moderate, but sho had neverthelesssucceeded In "raising" them with all duohonor. A moro creditable Bot of youngsterswas not to be found anywhere—eo eald alltho relatives, friends and neighbors. Atlast the whole family wcro eafely "ralecd,"and one by one securely established in profusions or homes of their own. . But Justas tho mother could begin to feel thatSome- leisure and independence )uy beforeher and that Bho could at last Indulge Insomo-little pleasure on her own accounttho oldest duugliter died, leaving a bigfamily of llttlo children. Well, there -wasDO ono but tho grandmother to look afterthem, nnd, as every, ono said, never wasthcro any ono hotter llttcd to do It, al-though it did Eccm hard after; all thoseyears of Golf denial spent In discipliningher own offspring. Ono day some ono saidsomething of this sort to the grandmother."How do I manage it nil?" was the anewer..

A Seal Boon—Borax.For the bathroom and toilet table borax
Is entitled to a place to which no other or-ttclo can by claim. It refreshes and Invig-orates the syfitom, reinoveB all unpleasantodor of perspiration, giving a healthy glowto the skin, leaving it soft and wbitewhonadded in tho bath water. For wasbing tboface it is better than eoap, and, if used reg-ularly, will keep soft and white tho bandsof even those women who roust of necceal-ty do rough work. AB a wash for the hairborax has long kocn regarded as tho besf-and most harmless lotion. I t removes dantlruff, stimulates tho ecolp and preservestho beauty of tbo hair. Being a harmlessand cffectlvo antiseptic, borax is, of course,an excellent dentifrice, nnd If need In timewill prevent decay of the teeth, hardentho gums and Induce a general healthfulaction of tho mouth. People troubled withsore, tender feet will find great relief fromfrequent bathing lu borax water.
Napkins, French Style.Tho French have a way of making even
an inferior quality ot table linen look wallwithout tho aid of Gtaroh. When tho nap-klnB aro washed and dried nnd ready to beIroned, they are dipped into boiling wa-ter and partially wrung out between cloths.They aro then rapidly Ironed with as hot hflatirou oa possible without burning them.Treated hi this manner, they becozuo beautlfully glossy and stiff.

THE L. A, W.To people who do not know what the
League of American Wheelmen is organizedfor, it might he well to mj tiuA it is for im-provement to the highways and the generalcare of wheelmen, to see that they are pro-tected on the road, and also tbat their rightsaro respQcted. During the post few years theleague has been instrumental in securingmany new roads where for many years thetaxpayers were in the dark as to what goodroads meant. The committee on htgway improvement has been hard At work trying toget the farmors in the middle and southernparts of the State to see tho benefits of goodroads to them, and is now seeing the effects ofthe effort. In many townships the town com-mittees are providing for road improvementswhere, for years, each owner was allowed towork out his road tax, which work, whenfinished, was, to Bay tho best, in very poorcondition. Ast j tbo good it does the wheel-men, inquirers need only to look to the courtsto find out how many casts have been triedby the league where wheelmen have been runInto on the road and had their wheels or per-sons damaged, and through the efforts of therights and privileges committee have recovered damages to. thu full extent of their injuries.

THEIIE fs no doubt but that the city otDover should get all that it can for its fran-chises, but there is such a thing as beiug BOgreedy that nothing is obtained. An articleis worth what it will sell for ia tho openmarket, and an Increased valuation does notmake tho owner tho richer if there Is nopurchaser.
The gas franchise for Dover may be worth110,000 or perhaps (20,000, and then again itmay be worth only the $3,000"that tho Man-ager of the Dover Electric Light Companysaid he would be willing to pay for it. Beth* as Jt may, there fs an cony way to settletho fair vnluati u, and that is by the CityCouncil inserting in several of the leadingperiodicals that ere devoted to tho Interestsof the gas industry, the advertisement thatthe City of Dover, N. J,, with a populationof more than 6,000, and growing rapidly,within forty miles of New York, etc., desiresto sell a franchise for the introduction of gas,to tho highest bidder, who will givo amplebonds that the plant shall be completed with-in a year from the dato of tho sala ; alsothat tho said purchaser shall be bound tonsver charge moro than $1.00 cash per1,000 cubic feet; and further that thepurchaser shall never enter into anycombination with any other htattng, light-ing or power plant or company that is nowor that may hereafter be located in the Citvof Dover. At the end of n, reasonable- timetho City Council could tell exactly whatprice could be obtained for the gas franchise.To ask mure than the highest offer that mayhe received iu response to such an advertise-ment would be an unjust action, sinco itwould deprive the citizens of tbo right to usegas for no fair reason, a difficulty that wouldin all probability bo removed at tho next en-suing charter election.
While we aro on thi3 subject we would addthat it is n great pity that the City of Dovercannot rescind the franchises that it so fool-ishly granted to tho Telephone and ElectricLight companies. The water franchise can-not be regarded as having been given fornothing, for tho reduction in tho rates ofInsurance amounts to many times more thanthe rental of the hydrants. I t fs not yet toolate t •> get some return for what tho Fire andLamps Committee considers misplaced ormistaken generosity. The franchises thathare been granted do not run indefinitelyInto the future, but can bo terminated atonce. What is post is gone, but In the futurethe town should receive ample compensationfor all extensions of wires and poles of anysort and for any purpose.
T B E report of tbe manager of tho DoverElectric Light Company, acting as chairmanof the Fire and Lamps Committee, was in.tended to be an argument against tho Intro-duction of gas, and so it Is when taken fromhis company's point of view, but how abouttbe interests of the dear.public who olectedbtuit That report is really tho strongestevidence in favor of the introduction of gasthat IiaB yet been found. As wo stated twoweeks ago, gas costing $100 per 1,000 cubicfoet will furnish a aixteen candle power lightfor 100 hours for 4 3 cents, while an electriclight furnishing tbe same amount of lightwill cost Q I a OO f o r 1 0° h o u r s - I r t b e r e
port of the manager of tho Dover ElectricLight Company is correct when he says thatit costs only 60 cents to manufacture 1,000cubic feet of gas, just see what possibilitiesfor competition are open to the public. Thegas company could furnish a sixteen candlepower light for 100 hours for 2 4 CGula

A man authority on gas, commenting onthe report of the Fire and Lamps Committeeof the City Council,,tho full text of whichwas published in tho" ERA. last week, writesto the BttA from 1'hiladelpliia:
'•One of the principal items of business ofall gas companies to-day is that of supplyinggas for light, fuel and cooking purposes. Onthe average it will constitute about twenty-five per cent, of the entire business of the gascompanies, and this is rapidly increasing, asthe people aro educated to the use of gas onfuel line?. The committee which claims tohave Investigated tbo subject so thoroughlyevidently went at it in a very crude way anddid not get any facts that were correct—atleast they did not report them so. * • • •The remark In the report, that at the lastGas Exposition in New York the committeefound the cost of gas 'absolutely put itout of the reach of ninety-nine out of a hun-dred of our (your) citizens/ is certainly notbased on faor, as the larger proportion ofhouses in which cooking is dono nowadays,in progressive places, use gas stoves for talipurpose."
B T THE imposition of a 10 per cent discrim-inating duty on all goods imported In otherthan American Bhips, as provided In the newtariff b'll tho Republican party carries out adistinct pledge contained in the platformadopted at tho St. Louis convention whichnominated McKinley and Hobart. It wasJust such a discriminating duty to which thimerchant marine of tho earlier years of theRepublic owed its proud eminence.
THERS can be no question but that Spain isInspired with a more wholesome respect forthe United States since the advent of theMcKinley administration than that countryhad when Cleveland was president. Doubt-less the subjoined plank from the Republicanplatform adopted at tfae St. Louis convention,which nominated McKinley and Hobart, hashad its effect '
From the hour of achieving their own In-dependence the people of the United Stateshave regarded with sympathy the strugglesof other American peoples to free themselves
. from European domination. Wo watch withdeep and abiding interest tho heroic battle ofthe Cuban patriots against cruelty and op-pression, ana our best hopes go out for tbe fullsuccess of their determined contest for liberty.The government of Spain, having lost controlof Cuba, and being unable to protect theproperty or lives o? resident American clti>zens or to comply with the treaty obligations.we believe that the government of tbe UnitedStateB Bhould UBO its influence and good offlceato restore peace and give independence to thoIsland.
That "ndjusted" tariff knavery crops on.overy now and then in the columns of tbeJllorrit Journal.
THE Philadelphia Record says: "Ex-Post-maBter General Wilson fittingly and compre-hensively describes tho new Tariff bill as aTastandvoi*iTllx?*i8Echemo of class legisla-tion." An a commentator on thd nubject oftariffs, ex-Postmaster General ffifeon is themost discredited man in tho United States.

sore to our streets, but they could be vastlyimproved in appearance by a coat of paintNow Chairman Young, or tho Fire andL*amps Committee-, might call tho attentionf Muuager Young, of tho Dover ElectricJght Company (a la Pooh Bah), ta thisnatter. Ho might address him after this'ashion:
DovKn, N. J., March 19,1897.DAVID YOUNG, ESQ ,
Manager Dover Electric Light Co.,M Y DEAII Sin:—In the discharge of my
duties as chairman of tbe Firo and LimpsCommittee of tho City Council, I desire torail your attention to a clause contained inthe contract misting between your companyand the City Council. This clause is as fol-IOWB :
" And I hat all poles erected or used by tbe partyof tho second part [Dover Klcctrlo Light Co.] Insold streets and other putiliu places shall be goodand straight, and, where required by tho parties•>t tbe flret part, [the City of Dover} shall becoated with point in colors to suit the parties ofthe first part, ete."
I, therefore, givo you formal notice thatyou are forthwith required to paint all polesbelonging to the Dover Electric Light Com-wny now erected within the corporate limitsit the City of Dover, two coats of dark green>r olive green paint, tho color and quality ofpnlnt to bo subject to tho approval of tbeCity Council, and tho same to be completedwithin a reasonable tirao from tho date ofthis notice, say, by April 12.
I am, yours respectfully,DAVID YOUNG,
Chairman Fire and Lamps Committee.
ASBEBIBLYHAN Righter 1B proving himselfquite a lighter. When the committee to whichhis school bill was referred rendered an ad-verse report ha succeeded in having the bill>ut upon tho calendar, although it is a raeas-
entirely without merit, and now he has suc-ceeded in overriding the adverse report oftho committee ou bis bill providing for thetaxation of real and personal property of anycity, town, borough, township or other mu-nicipality located within tho corporate limitsif any other city, town, borough, township
or other municipality. This latter measu ?has as much to commend it as tho other hasto condemn It, and Assemblyman Righter Isto bo congratulated upon having i t put on the
ilendar. Mr. Righter, in urging- the adop-tion of a favorable report, said: "Newark'swatershed boa absorbed in Morris county10,000 acres of land which, at the local rate ofBI.70 on the $100, furnished the townshipin which it is located a revenue of f 17,600.Tlio contemplated Jersey City plant wouldtake away another tract of 4,400 acres, taxednow at $10,000, and tho loss of Buch a largearea of ratables would be a serious one toMorris county."
While from a mercenary point of view Itmay to the Interest of Newark to bring abouttho defeat of Mr. Rtghtcr's hill, the Kiu. Isglad to note that the Newark Evening News,with the usual liberal spirit with which thatnewspaper treats publlo questions, has de-clared the measure to be a just one.
A u o n t Gas.T H E "path of rectitude" followed by tbe
Journal must bo as broad as it is long.Otherwise Its editor would have to wander alittle in his attempt to support a monopolyand pose as a friend of the publlo a t the sametime.
DOES the Fire and Lamps Committeerecommend an exclusive franchise for alltime for the Bum of $10,000? Or an ex-clusive franchise for a given time for thatsum ? If not an exclusive franchise, whatguarantee Is the city to give that if a similarfranchise fs granted to another gai companythat a like sum will ba charged i t? The$10,000 would be of more value to the peopleof Dover if it were put In the shape of abond, that tho gas company should not com-bine with any other company to maintainprices.
W I T H a gas plant in Dover we could havelight, heat and power at every hour In tbeday, and we would not be restricted to thefew hours that the Dover Electric LightCompany finds the most profitable,
W I T H a gas plant la Dover the stores,hotel? and private houses that aro using elec-tric light would not have to keep a Bupply ofcandles or kerosene lamps on hand to f urniihlight wheu a dynamo runs hot or a fuiblows out. Churches would not be compelledto suspend evening services while the engi-neers aro pouring water on a heated journal.
I T has been said that the Fire and LampsCommlttea would have recommended thattho gas franchise be sold for $5,000 if theyhad not feared that the price would bavibeen paid at once.
W H E N a director in tho Dover ElectricLight Company sayi that company is not op-posing the introduction of gas, but t in t "thep-e-e-e ople don't want it," (in high falsetto)he refers to the sisters and the cousins andthe aunts of tbe stockholders of bis company,
FBAIBB from Sir Hubert Is praise indeedThe Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says of theselection of Thomas B. Reed for tho Speakership of the fifty-fifth Congress:
" T h e caucus choice of the RepublicanRepresentatives in the Ftrty-flfth Congressfor the Speakershlp of that body fell upontho right man. Mr. Reed is admittedlypast master 8B parliamentarian. But ho ismore than tha t ; his strength and clarity ofmind, his fores and fearlessness of charade]and his broad and consistent statearaanshl]combine to lift him head and shoulders abovitho common run ot men in public life. TheRecord is glad to see Thomas D. Reed suc-ceed himself, and it congratulates his partyon the good sense It ehows la keeping himthe front."
Mahlon r i t n e y ' s Bold Stnua.Congressman Pitney, in the recent debate
in Congress on the River and Harbor bill,jave utterance totheBubjolned, which provesIs right to the title of statesman:" For myself I have no apology to make
!or my action upon the River and Harborjill. I will not undertake to criticise It orexplain it in detail. I bave not the necossarymowledge. I was opposed at the last sesslo n:o the passage of any River and Habor bill,jxcepting, perhaps, tbe minimum amount'hlch would have bet-n sufficient to protect
!rom tho elements the work that was alreadyprogress and partly unfinished, hoping
that the same policy might be continued untilthe country should be In a condition to war-rant further progress in river taid harbor im-provements,
" When the bill was pending In the House,protested against it* passage. I voted
against it then, and afterwards voted to sus-tain tho Presidential veto when the bill wasreturned from the White House.
And yet, Mr. Chairman, I am not op-posed to the proper and reasonable improve-ment of our principal harbors and water-ways. The Republican party Is not opposedto it, and tho people are not opposed to it.But an extravagant bill, that Is passei with-out debate, and under such circumstancesthat no man, friendly or unfriendly ts thobill, can safely say after it IR passed that itsseveral items are just and proper—againstsuch a bill It Is tho duty, I think, of everyRepresentative to protest
I suggest that if the public expendituresere to be limited In future some different sys-tem of legislation -will be necessary. Whenthe proposition to divide the appropriationbills was made in the Forty-ninth CongressMr. Randall, as a member of the Committeeon Rules, submitted a minority report oppos-ing: the plan, in which he quoted from lan-guage used by himself on a former occasion
'hen a Btmilar project was under discusionIn the Forty-sixth Congress, as follows :
" 'If you undertake to divide all these ap-propriations, and have many committeeswhere thert ought to be but one, you willenter upon a path of extravagance you cannot foresee the length of or tbo depth ofuntil we find tbe Treasury of tbe country
ikrupt.'Extravagant language, perhaps; and yet
the tables which I submit will Bhow that theappropriations for ton years following thedivision of responsibility which he opposedwere $088,000,000 greater, excluelvo of pen-sions, and over $1,400,000,000 greater, Includ-ing pensions, than for the ten years precedingthe change.
Of tbe $083,000,000, we can attribute only$368,000,000 to tbe increase of tho populationof tbe country, the remaining $320,000,000being in excess of that growth. This vastsum is greater even than the $202,000,000realized by tbe Government as proceeds ofthe bond Issues of the past three years.
111 propose to vote for the bill juat as re-ported, unless amendments are suggested;and then after debate I may change my mindupon eoino items, It is a vory large bill, andinvolves a great many items, but the greatcontroversy over the bill, if there Is any con-troversy, is that it is $15,100,000 greater byreason of ono single thing, namely, the largeincrease in expenditures required by con-tracts authorized by the River and Harborbill passed at the last session.
" I have sufficiently expressed my opposi-tion to that bill, but since it has become a
,w, and contracts have been made under It,we are obliged to recognize those contractsand make provision for the payments ascalled for."

THE Behtdere Apollo says: Daring tbeten years that "ring rule" controlled ourOhoten Freeholders, plundered our treasuryand disgraced our county, there was hardly atime that a majority of the Board were notwell-meanlDg men. Ti»y were generallyweaker tban they were wicked. The ring,year after year, by superior stratagem, organ-ized the Board,appointed its committees, andthus managed to cover up the crooked trans-actions and perpetrate the frauds which wereat last brought to light by the close scrutinyand determined efforts of Freeholders whoresolutely undertook tha work of reform.Tho gigantic and continued frauds would noihave been possible but for the surpassingihiwdneaa and skill of the members of theBoard who planned aud executed them. Therewere always honest members in the worstdays ready to do the right thing, but theydid not know how to begin to unravel theIngenious web with which their dishonestassociates had entangled tha affairs ot thecounty. It would be as easy for a county toelect two corrupt men in a commission ofthree as to elect a majority of corrupt men ina large Board of Freeholders, On this scorethere is no nesd of a change, but there maybe other changes presented that will convinceour lawmakers and the people that tbe time-honored body, the Board of Freeholders,should retire and allow the mo Jem commlssion to come upon the scene In our State. I!It could be demonstrated that this would bomore economical, as well as more wieldy, itis quite possible that a change might ba made,

Fire at Rookaway.At 5:15 o'clock Friday afternoon last an
explosion of gas at the Cycle ComponentCompany's factory at. Rockaway. set fire tothe building aud the names threatened itstotal destruction. Superintendent Perkinsat once telephoned to Chief J. J. Vreeland,of tbis city, for help and forty minutes afterthe telephone In Kiilgore's drug store badrung, the fireman were trooping through thebuilding at Rockaway, but tbe names hadalready been extinguished. Chief Vreoland,after having the fire belt rung, had gone toAgent J. N. Brown of the' Central Railroadfor transport for bis men and engine to thescene ot the fire. As luck would have it, adrill engine was in tho freight yard. EngineHo. 3 with the Vlzilants was loaded on a fiatcar and then sucn a ride as tew ot tbe fire-men bad over taken before began. The dis-tance between the engine house and tbe fireat Rockaway is about four and a third miles,and from the time that Engineer Hanceopened the throtle until he closed it at Rock-away was just five and one-half minutes, andFireman Lodi Smith, of the drill, had thonerve to say that It was a slow trip. Fire-man Qillen, of the truck company, who wassitting in the driver's seat ot tho fire engine,sayB it was plenty fast enough for him, andthat he hasn't got tho ''coal and rocks" out ofbis eras and ears yet. The fire was causedbv the ignition of gas which leaked from a
I e which carries gas through the building,.be workmen were thrown to the floor andtor a time evoryonD was in & state nf oxcito-inent. A bucket was soon formBd, however,and tbe fire was extinguished before muchdamage had been done. A. J. Hellings wasbodl/burned about thefaceand hands; Rich-ard Dadow was burned pretty badly and alsoreceived a scalp tvouud; and Joseph Smithwas seriously burned. The damage to thebuildings will bo about 13,000 and is fullycovered by insurance The worka have beenclo9ed down this week while repairs are beingmode, but will start up again on Monday.

on tbe Gas Question,The subjoined interesting excerpt from the
American Oas Journal will doubtless beread with interest by themomberaof tbe Fireand Lamps Committee of the City Council,as welt OG by citizens of Dover generally:
"Whenever and wherever we have reportsof what goes on ia assemblages called togetherfor the purpose of advocating the municipalcontrol of lighting plants, tbe story of whathas been accomplished by the municipality ofPhiladelphia, in owning and controlling itsgas works and gas supply, is sure to be citedas evidencethat tho communities in which tbeparticular set of agitators live should "dolikewise." Philadelphia for some time liasbeen selling gas at $1 per 1,000 cubic feet,and the experiment has been carried on for aperiod sufficiently long to onable unprejudicedobservers to come to a fair conclusion over it.Tbo consensus of opinion amongst BUCU ob-servers, wbo are well qualified to reach acouclusion that will hold, since they them-selves are engaged in the business of gasmanufacture and distribution, is that Phila-delphia has been losing a round percentageon every ],0D0 feet sold ot tbe f 1 rate. Thatfact waB brought out in all its bareness abouta fortnight ago, during the investigation oftbe branches of tbo Philadelphia municipalgovernment by a special committee of theState Senate. When the Gas Bureau wasgotten to for probing, some important devel-opments came to light. Several expert wit-nesses were summoned, among whom woreMr. Eugene Vanderpool, whose great abilityas a gas engineer cannot be denied, and whoseBtanding as a man whoso opinions aro his own,absolute and unpurchasable, may not becontroverted. In his testimony Mr. Vander-pool declared that, taking due account of allproper factors that should be considered inconnection with the existing conditions ofgas manufacture and distribution in Philadel-phia, the cost per 1,000 cubic foot would betl.SU, thus showing a loss of SO cents per 1,000feet of gas distributed. Under the peculiarbookkeeping methods of the Bureau, how-ever, a diilerouceof f 200,0(10 in its favor asthe result of the operations for tho last yearis shown. Of count?, Mr. Vanderpool, in bistestimony, allowed for all clashes of lrsses,BUch as leakage (which there arnounts Ut overSO.percent.), non-payment ot taxes, failureto charge anything for plant depredation,antiquated manufacturing and 'distributingplant and systems, etc. Another witness{Prof. Edward W. Bemis, of Chicago, whoseideas about the plan of municipal control oflighting enterprises are quite in favor oz thatpractice) admitted that the Philadelphiaplant was in no sense a modern one, nor any-tbiug in value like that put upon it by thecity. In fine, the testimony before tho SenateCommittee all wont to show that the Phila-delphia gas works may be confidently pointedto as a positive example why such enterprisesshould bo under private direction rather thanin publio control."
George Stlolier Surprised.George H. Sticher, formerly of this city,
but now engine Despateher of too D., L. &W. R. R. at Hoboken, was on Wednesday anuch surprised man. He was invited to at-

Tbo receipts of the Govern-monlfroin nil sources during the Ilscal yearending Juno SO, 1803, amounted to $4(11,710,-5G1.M uml its expenditures to 1459,874,887.05,EhowiiiB nn excess of receipts over oxgeadl-tnrMOl»a,811,074.SSI.
" Since tbat time tbe receipts of no fiscalyear, and with but few exceptions of nomonth of any fiscal year, have exceeded thoexpenditures. Tbe receipts of tho Govern-ment from all sources, during tbo fiscal yearcoding Juno SO, 5804, were 1872,802,408.21),nnd Us expenditures 8442,<305,708.87, leavinga deficit, the first Blnco the resump'ion ofspecie payments, of (09,803,200.68. Notwith-standing thoro was a decrease of (10,7110,128.-?fl in tlio ordinary expenses of tho Govern-ment, as compared with the previous fiscalTear, its income was Btlll nut euOlctent toprovide [or its daily necessities, and tbe goldreserro In tho Treasury for the redemption ofgreenbacks was drawn upon to moet them.But this did not suffice, and the Governmentthen resorted to loans to replenish tlio reserve.
"In February, 1804, 160,000,000 in bondswere issued, and in November following asecond issue of (50,000,000 was deemed neces-sary. Tbo Bum of $117,171 ,TOS was realizedby tho sale of these bonds j but the reserve wassteadily decreased until, an February 8,1805,a third salo of f02,316,40O in bonds for «0o,-110,2-14 was announced to Congress.
"Tho receipts of tbe Government for theteal year ending June 80, 1895, were (300,-873,203.30 and the expenditures {488,178,420.48thoivlnga deflcitof *43,605,283.13. A furtherloan of * 100,000,000 was. negotiated by theGovernment in February, 1800, tho sale net-ting 1111,11111,240, and swelling tbe aggregateof bonds issued within ^hree years to $202,-815,400. For tho fiscal year ending June 80,1800, tho revenues of tbe Government fromnil sources wero f 409,475,408.78, whilo its ex-penditures wero $434,078,054.48, or an excessof expenditures over receipts of 125,303,345.70.In other words, the total receipts for the threefiscal years ending June SO, 18WJ, wero insuffi-cient by (187,811,720.40 to meet the totalexpenditures.
"Nor has this condition since improved.For the Orst half of the present fiscal yearthe receipts of tbe Government, exclusive ofpostal revenues, were (157,507,003.70, and itsexpenditures,. exclusive of postal • service,flilj,< 10,000.22, b ran excess ot expendituresover receipts of 837,902,800.40.. In Januaryof this year the receipts, exclusive of postalrevenues, were (24,816,094.05, and the expend-itures, exclusive of postal service, t8O,Q0v,-380.20, a deflott of*5,953,805.24 for the month.In February of tins year the receiptB, exclu-ilvo of postal revenues, were 124,400,007.39,nnd expenditures, exclusive ot postal service,(23,780,050.08, adeflclt of (4,895,05'J.SS, or atotal deficiency of $180,001,680.44 for the threeTears and eight months ending March 1,18B7.Not only are we without a surplus in tbeTreasury, but witb an increase in the publicdebt there has. been a corresponding increasela tbe annual interest charge from (22,893,-883.20 in 1802, the lowest of any year since1802, to$M.837,2»7.00in 1890, or an increasoot *U,403,414.4O.
" It may be urged tuat even if the revenuesof tbe Government had been sufficient to meetoil its ordinary expenses during tbo past threeJoans, the gold reserve would still hava beeninsufilclent to meet the demands upon it, andthat bonds would necessarily have been issuedlor its repletion. Be this as it may,' It isclearly manifest, without denying or alarm-Ing the correctness of euch a conclusion, thatt!» debt would have been decroased in atleast the amount of the deficiency,' and busi-ng ss confidence immeasurably strengthenedthroughout the country.

IS CRIME DECREASING?
English Observer* S»y Tlicic, b a ClumpFor tho Better.
Thoro prevails n comfortablo belief thatthe standing army of crime is steadily <]i-lalnlshing nnd Hint, with the aid of schoolboards and reformatories, we aro makingsure If slow progress in combating tlio en-emies of society who fill our jails. Mr.Douglass Morrison, In a paper read be/oretho Statistical society, tells us that this bo-lief rests on no solid foundation, and thatwhen the fnctB aro analyzed It becomeshighly doubtful whether there has boonJnoro than a nominal decrcaeo of crime.There is no doubt that tho figures general*ly quoted in Bupport of tho view whloh ev-ery ono would fain bellevo do not Eubstnn-tiato It. Tho explanation of many of thefacts which Beam at first sight to justifyoptimism ana self congratulation lies In amovement which Influences, consolouBly orunconsciously, all persons administeringthe criminal law—tho growth of a feelingof distrust of tho efficacy of Ecvero sen-toncoB and ot a conviction aB to their mis-calcvousncss in many cases and pity ortenderness toward a largo olasa of orlm-inola as tho victims of circumstances.
It bus been said that Vlotor Hugo's pic-ture of Jean Valjean,the outcast with nobleinstincts, who tries again and again to cx-trlcato himself from a call of misfortunesand who again and again succuinba In thostruggle, profoundly influenced tho admin-istration of tho Fronch criminal law, undfor many ynozs that spirit of pity and tol-eration whloh tho Fronch poet deflated In"LCB Misorablcs" imB been ovcrywhoro IDtho air, axd nowhero more than hero. ItID therefore right to caution the publicngnlust confounding tho diminution in thenumber of offenders detained in prison inconsequenco of a wise mitigation of tho se-verity of tho criminal law with a corre-sponding dcoreaee in tho amount of crime.It is just possible, however, that in avoid-ing one extreme Mr. Morrison has pushedhis point too far, and has given caunte-nmico to a despondent view ae llttlo justi-fied as the optimism which ho condemns.In interpredng tbo only available figurestho lncreascu vlgllnnco of tho pollco 1B anclement scarcely to bo overrated. Ascarcely less important element is that ofpublicity. Every offonse Is noted. Thochances of detection aro probably greatlyIncreased in theso daye, when every house-hold becomes aware of tbo pcz^on "want-ed" for any crlmo ot magnitude. To knowthat orimo generally is increasing or de-creasing is to know very llttlo. It maymean no more than that certain offensesagainst police regulations havo increasedor diminished. Tho morality of tho coun-try muy bo steadily rising though the con-viotlons for breaches of tho education actsarc increasing.
There is a sonslblodimlnutlon of ccrtaiooffonses most Indicative of a licentiousspirit. Property is respected more tnan itwas, and BOIUO crimes connected therewithnnd produotlvo of others—for examplo, re-ceiving stolen goods In some towns—bidfair to disappear. On tlio other hand, thenIs no eign of reduction in certain otherorhocs wbioh appear to coiuo In tho trainof material prosperity. Tho report wo gotIs both of good and of ovll. Of the realcauses of orimo and of tho extent to whichit can be prevented by praotlcablo iueas-ures Mr. Morrison's figures tell ono littlethat 1B lionlllvo. Mure than !!,0<)0 years ngaISurlpldcs expounded tbo theory of thecrlmlnal-no under which Lombroso, Mar-ro and Ferri have lately labored. TheGreek writer puts Into the mouth of oneof his ehoraotcrs the reflection that, where-as land nnturally barren may yield n goodharvest if tho season be good and fertileland be sterilo if tho season bo unkindly,wen are always what they ore—-the goodalways good, oven in the pinch of hard cir-ouinBtances, the bad always bad—tho crim-inal-no oertaln to bo In tho dook, howevorcarefully the chaplain aud tbo philanthro-pist look after him. What truth there 1BIn this view, how far the standing army ofcrime consists ot this clement, how far ofpeople not much worse deposed but lesslucky than others, statisticians do not tellUB. Perhaps they never will. But in thatdirection lies tho. interest of tho presentand still more that of tbo future.—-London

THE MODEL WIFE.
A Profound Editorial Esuy Upon m Sub-ject ot mraznonat Importsraoe. . .
This kind of a person ot our Ideal is notcosy found, as it takes much of thoughtand knowlcdgo upon tho part of. man andwomen to becomo thoroughly acquaintedwith each other's way in every toll of life
Our writer of this article has had no ex-perlenco as to a model wife, and yet If hoshould find ono It would bo a pattern forall to follow. She doubtless would bo goodand kind and lovablo whoso liouso will beas hanusomo as can bo on the lnsldo. Sho.should bo ready to recelvo him on his re-turn and also at his departure for tho day.Then arrange your house in general, ECOto tho wants of tho cook and hired girls as.well ns to all men about your placo. Payall bills nmlrun no debts It possible. Don'tidle away your tlmo making calls to tooneighbors. Cull on sick and tho minister.Do all tbo good you can to entertain Btran-gcrs and make them feel at homo. Havoyour rooms owopt, and this is generallywhat tho model wife should do.
Of course husband and wife are differ-ently situated. Somo can Mvo In the coun-try, whilo others llko city. Pay particularattention of what kind of a wlfo wo get.The start for some ore OB economical andwill spend taster than we can make. Yet,as a rule, model wives aro at ease in a way,whllo others ore not, so saying.
As to a country girl for a-wlfo in far su-perior In many way a to those who havobeen brought up in tho city. As to the lat-ter wife, she likes theaters, operas, highlife, society, and dress, and out late atnights every week, and nil this that goeBto mako up a oity life. Whereas a countrywlfo is ignorant to alleuohand has noadvantages maybe, nnd they generallymako tho best of wives.
Mon married, but are now repenting atleisure. Bonio have no way to either helpthoinselvcs or tholr wives to tho road ofprosperity. Tho so called term of modelwifo becomes pomilcmn. Tho lateness oftho hour lias prevailed npon tho dralnagoof whisky to a fabulous prioe.
Tho calculation upon tho support of OUTnation has been miscalculated down tosanda of tlmo by extravagance of a failureIn not being Bblo to eoonomizo In years ofonr youth. Can it bo possible to navoalnodolwifo If our husbund's moans aro'limited beyond control, simply by pleas-ing self, I trust not. A model wife shouldbo at tho post of her own country, and ifwo get only 6 cents, though It bo small, itwill bo 86 times that amount If saved byindustrious nnd thrifty hosband, whogivoa it to his wlfo to keep for him forsomo day hi nocd.—Fuller's Glcanor.

In a recent scientific ascomblago a dis-cussion took placo npon the Influenoo ofeleep in skin diseases. One of tbo gentle-men who took port stated in his criticismot tho paper which bad been read that onomight as well talk ot tho inuuouco of mu-Bio npon tho growth of tho hair. Ife wouldteem that the suggestion of a posslblo con-nection thus thrown out in a jesting traylins been taken seriously. At least a cor-respondent of tie I'cmpa has inudo thediscovery that rauslo of certain kinds doesIn reality prevent the hair from falling,frhllo that produced by certain Instrumentsbos the most disastrous effects In causingrapid dovdopmont of baldness. Ho findsthat whllo composers aro as'prono as oth-ers to loso their hair at an early age, thosewho- play their compositions upon thepiano preserve If tlioy do sot acquire, aluxuriant growth of hair. On the otherhand, wind Instruments, and especiallytha cornet and trombone, aro fatal to hlr-suto adornment. Tho violoncello and theharp keep tho hair in pretty well, but tbeflute cannot bo depended upon to preservea strong growth after tho fiftieth 76010!•go.
A number ot pianists, Including Podo-rewskl, are cited In confirmation ot thepronounced influence of piano xnuflio. I tlias been admitted for eomo timo thatmuBlo has a certain thcrapoutlo worth, andit will bo recalled that Dr. Ferrund pre-sented a report to tbo French Aoademj ontCue physiological Influence of uvuslo, point-ing out in wlint ways i t could bo employedwith therapeutic, alms. Subsequently Dr.Betzchinsky reported an instance of night'terrors in a child of 0 years, who WOB curedby having played to It each night xnuslo ofa calming nature written in & minor key.A test was made after a tern nights byomitting the lnuslo, and that night alone,tbo ohild had an ottnok. I t has not as yejbeen determined just what key Is mostfavorable to tho prevention of an early l»ldttato. Probably a reasonable way of rat-tling tho disputed point would bo to makea few experiments on dogs, thus proving atolerance foruifferout strains and Qvoluingthe horripilation to which some patlonts otrefined tastes might be subjected. Wind,instruments are always dangerous if thobalr has not a good hold, whilo stiff hairedpeople, con stand anything. Possibly agood ralo for any musician vronld be, assoon as ho finds b.ls hour falling, to ceaseplaying for others.—Medical Becord.

PRESERVING FRESH GRAPES.
In Cold fitoneo They Can Be Kept Throughtho Winter.
Xho method of gathering and preparinggrapes for winter 6 torn go Is os follows:The clufitera aro carefully picked beforethey are dead rlpo and then placed iu trapsIn tho packing hnuso for a few days untiltho stems LftTO wilted and tho moisturelias evaporated. Tho bnskcts aro lined withparaffined paper eo that It will lap over tbetop of tho basket. Tho grapes taro packodcarefully In tho basket, all looso and puno-tnred berries helng removed beforehand,and then, when tho paper la folded overthorn, tbo cover Is fastened down snuglyBO QB to exclude aB much air as possible.Tho baskets aro then placed in the cold,dry storage house. In this way tho Ver-gennes can be kept all winter, tho Cntaw-bes until the end of February aad Niaga-ras until after the holidays.
The only difficulty experienced by grow-ers is from rapid deterioration when thograpes o n removed from cold etorago andshipped to market. They need to be con-sumed immediately In order to appreciatetheir qualities. The largo growers are ar-ranging to ship their grapes from theirpacking houses to the cold storage housesID the oltlea by means of refrigerator cam,aTid In this vcay tho^ quality will bo pre-served until tho grapes reach tho consum*er'i tablet. But this shuts out tho smallgrower located some distance from themarkets.
Howover, there aro other outlets fortheir crops of grapes, which are rapidly in-creasing In importance.

PRIMITIVE METHODS.THE WATERWORKS OF GUAYMAS RUN

Ilitlf way up tbegiilf of Cnlifnrniu, onthe southwestern cuum uf llcsiuo, ia Ihclittle Kcapoit of Giiuyiuos. Of late yearsGuiiymuslms grown apace coiiuncrcliilly,nnd her Mrsican and Indian citlzcnn,Fpurrcd onward and assisted by the influxof Yankee und English jntrclmnts, Luvoagreat many modern iinprovemontB, nnd assoon na you hind tbo peajilo begin to talkto you nbout tbo wonderful advantages ofGunyinas cither ne a residence or businesslocation. With pride they show you theirstreet lights, their horso caxH and sovcralother moro or less modern improvements.But no ono over has a word to say abouttho waterworks or tbo water system. Yetyon poticcwith satisfaction that the wntcrthey give you to drink is clear ns crystal,eof t and very pleasing to tho cyo und ta&tonliko. Of courfio jou do not expect to findrunning water In each room In n Mexicancity of ouly 5,000 Inhabitants, and you aronot greatly surprised to havo tlio waterpoured out for you from fclg leathern bogsor earthen jars, for that is tho wny ofthings in Mexico, and a very good wnywith respcot to drJnklng water.
But nfter yon havo visited tho now plazannd£cen all tho sights that tho town af-fords you may havo a curiosity to knowEOinothlng nbout tho water system. IfEUCII n curiosity should possess you it mnyBcom Btrange how tho natives avoid con-versntlon on tho topic. 'Xlieydo not oyencaro to tnlk about tho good quality of thewater, nncl this Eeoma posBing Btrnngo totho newcomer, because even towns (batInok good drluking water uovor fail toblow about tho quality nnd cjuuntity ofwhatever drinking fluid they do happen tohavo, But here in Guaymas tlio subjectof drinking wator, at lenst In business andcommercial circles, Is strictly tabooed.
Kow, It you aro a thoughtful person, allthis will strike you as roniarkably fllngu-lnr, and somo flno day, after unjoylng aglass of this most excellent water, you willstart off en a tour of investigation foryourself, bent upon discovering the sourceof Quaynma' water supply. About a mllocast of tho city, If you hnvo good luck, youwill e'trlko n vorynneiont nrtosian VTPIIIsurrounded by a curious ni'cadlo Bystoin ofndorjo walls, flumes, prolilstoriowlndlnssos,ono inulo and two Indians. These com-prise tho wotorworkBof Gunyjnns. Ibissnid by travelers that thero Is not euch an-other antique water pumping station tnNorth America. And It Is not difficult tobollcvo this If woadd tho qualifying words"In a civilized community of 6,000 Inhab-itants," Surrounding .this artesian well,which Is sold to tap a subtorranoau streamthat flowfl as freely today as In tho days olJlontezuma, is n quadrangular stono wallof about 4 feet in, thickness. Iu tho centerof tho south nnd north walls aro two piersor columns of stono which TIEO to tho heightof about 10 feet abovo tho walls. Bestingon tbo walls is a substantial roof or .floor-:Ing of thatch, and in this thero is a smallopening immediately between tho coluinns.Besting on tbo columns ovor this openingto* tho well is a, most primitively construct-ed windlass. This Is operated on thoground below by a big, crude fashionedwooden wheel that is best described bycomparing 16 to n birdcage, and.this cngo-111K> -whoeHn turn Is operated by tho Blowand toil somo racandorings of a Tory ancientand weary mule, that requires tho constantsurveillance of an Indian driver in ordorto keep him wida awako. Just what H isthat keeps tho Indira driver awako is an-other question.
A long, xmtanncd leather strap windsBorcml times around tho blrdcugo wheeland then takes a diagonal, cut up to thoo&a oltho jflndbss. AttachcQ^to tlio wind-lass aro two rude buckets, made soinpthlngIn tbo Bhapo ofI .barrolB, which appear ladenwith OB eweet, pure drinking water as everquonoticd.thq thirst/thub BprlngHicternnlunder'tlio hot sklca ol tbo Wcsiain,ecG-

The Inhabit*onta-of Quoyinas como Cut nnd toko theirday'swntor supply therefrom; and by nighttho Glulco bbxca arc emptied.

Ono's first question xipon diEcovcrltigthis nntlqno water supply of Guaymas is-Inquiry concerning tho ago of tho 'artesianwell and tho antique wall surrounding it/No ono Botma to know, but tbo Americanconsul says it miist bo fully 400 years old;•It is oyidontlyribt of Tolteo or Aztec orl."gin, for ita distinguishing characteristic'Isits extreme* crudenefis.
