Fall River line, from which they departed for
Boston. The drill through which they were

Francis Joseph is this year, at least he has been

the occasions of these visits declare that he
increases his knowledge with every sue
cessye visit and PTo.essof Ten noyt tb assures

teous emperors he has had the pleasure
OF Knowing. We have no desire to chant
q long hymn OF imperial praise, however. We
wish merely to do Francis Joseph mstice In repre-
senting him TO America at nome as nc appears
among us abroad--as a man IN the highest position
in his realm, descendant Of the gods, maybe
ruling at least by the right said to be conferred by
Heaven-thc ruler OF many millions OF people,
placing upon himself the duty and the obligation
OF viewing and studying the products OF Industry
science and art gathered together IN MS capital,
and thus setting example to his people TO teach
them TO gain compensation In the lessons or the
Exhibition for the material deficit that Will be left
as the record OF 1873. But the Emperor and the
people nave already accepted the great truth that
this probable deficit OF $7,0O00O0 or Ss,0o0000 or
more has been well spent IN showing TO the world
what Austria can do, and that the Exhibition may
be made the starting point Of Austrian commercial
| and national prosperity.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

A correspondent of the Rural World
writes: When the corn from the
wagon or cart is being put into the crib,
it should be assorted, and not thrown III
with n scoop or shovel. Throw the
small, unripe and imperfect ears by
themselves, and feed them out first. If
all the corn that has gone into the crib
is sound and dry, large quantities may
be piled up in the crib but if these i'm
perfect ears are not removed, much of it
will become heated and destroyed. If
the crib is made quite large, it is well to
set up boards in the center of the crib
in the form of chimney; this will allow
any moisture there may be then or that
has accumulated after it was cribbed, to
escape. Do not leave the top of the
crib uncovered, as many of our Western
farmers do; the rain and snow will do
great damage to the corn. Let your
cribs be raised Mt least two and halt
feet from the ground, and over the tops
of the posts that support the crib LET
inverted pens be placed, SO that the rats
and mice cannot climb up to feast upon
and damage the grain.

1877 East Ninth street, recognized the re-
mains of Margaret and Charlotte Bell,
also 10y their clothing, and the latter was
more fully identified by the absence of n
false tooth, which she usually wore next
the eve tooth on the right side of the
upper Jaw. The cavity was there, but
the tooth had dropped out. Mr.. Bell
had worked hard and constantly III the
search for the remains of his only sisters.
He spoke of them as children, though
both were his seniors III years. lie SAID
they were devoted to each other III life,
and he felt that they would not be found
separated in death. And his prediction
proved true. The sisters, when found
by Sergeant Douglass, were clasped III
each others arms some distance from the
other bodies. They, as well as the
others, had doubtless attempted to de-
scend the stairs There, being cut off
by tho flames and the ascending smoke,
they had tried to reach the fire escape.
Then, probably blinded 10y the dense
smoke and awed by the near and rapid
approach of the flames, they embraced
each other, and thus, AS they had lived
united, they died united. When separ-
ated, the elder, Margaret, had her left
arm twisted over the back part Of her
head, and the right arm was doubled up,
as though it had clafped her sister
around the waist. Both feet had been
burned away, but portions of the breast
which had without doubt been in contact
with her sisters breast, We're only slight
ly discolored with smoke. The extremi-
ties of the body were blackened and
charred, and mass of crinoline almost
surrounded the body. Charlotte Bell
had lost both hands and the right leg.
The trunk was mass of blackened flesh
and bone almost ground to powder. The
skull was fractured into hundred pieces
and crumbled into dust when touched.
Brain matter was etfused through the
assures of the fractured skull, and the
whole emitted sickening odor. It's
Identification was considered impossible
until Mr.. Bell claimed it as the body of
his youngest sister.
The charred and disfigured bodies of
the victims were place in neat rosewood
collins, studded with silver nails. The
remains of the Donohue sisters and of
the Bell sisters were then removed to

Varieties Of ROfnfOcs.

The american RuraL Home says:
Notwithstanding the new varieties intro
duced within few years, we have not
succeeded in supplanting the old peach
blow with better kind. Yet it has sew
eral faults, chief of which is its late pc
riod of ripening and the amount of labor
required to dig it. 1t is almost impos-
sible to get it into market time enough
for shipment in the fall. We want very
much potato that will keep as well as
the peach blow, look as well, be as fine
favored, yet ripen from two weeks to a
month earlier. The Harrison is aban-
doned; the peerless grows large and hol-
low, is a good variety to grow for feed
ing hogs when cooked), and no new VA
riety promises remarkably well. The
early rose leads on an early variety, but
it does not quite fill the place Of the
peachblow.

About Newspapers.

Mr.. b. w. Williams, manager of the
American Lecture Bureau, delivered an
interesting lecture, last evening, upon
the newspaper press. Mr.. Williams was
formerly connected with the Boston press,
and familiar with the details of a daily
newspaper Office. The lecturer COM
menced with sketch of the history of
printing, the youngest of the sisterhood
of arts, tracing the progress from picture
writing, which led TO hieroglyphics, then
TO an arbitrary character for "A word until
letters were used in the formation of
words as at the present time. The
speaker also gave an interesting history
of the progress from manuscript to the
printed page until the era of the news
paper The first series of weekly news
papers was published in 1922, the first
attempt at parliamentary reporting was
made in 1911, the first advertisement
was inserted in 1913, the first paper pro-
duced i'll England was the English WCr-
cUyie, published in London on the 2Sth
of July, 1858. The first attempt mt news
paper publishing i'll the United States
was in Boston, on the 25th of September,
1890; only one number appears TO have
been issued, for the Colonial Legislature
declared its publication contrary to law,
and that it contained reflections of very
high nature. The first regular news
paper published in the city was the Bos-
ton NclUS Letter, the first number of
which appeared April "a, 1904. -Four
years after the Office was destroyed by
the great fire in Boston, but the paper
appeared the following week as usual,
though it was sometimes fifteen months
in arrears in the publication of foreign
news. In December 1719, the publica-
ton of the Boston GazeHC was COM
menced and continued for eighty years,
expiring with the century and leaving a
revered and honored name.
The first number of the Ne,U England
Couam was published Aug. II, 1921.
Subsequently James Franklin was i'm
prisoned for publishing paper in which
"the Holy Scriptures were profanely
abused" and the name of Benjamin
Franklin, then only II years of age, took
its place at the head of the columns.
Eight different weekly papers appeared
between the years 1927 and III, when
the first number of the Massachusetts
Spy appeared, dated March Z. 1t is now
the oldest paper in the State. The first
daily newspaper in the world was the
Daily COurant, of London, published in
1902, and the first daily in America was
the Pennsylvania Packet or General
AdUcrtiser, issued from 1874 to 1897.
Mr.. Williams then gave sketch of the
manner in which a daily paper is con-

mysteries and details of the editorial and

Fifty Years Courtship.

We recently spoke of the marriage of
John Griswold Rogers, aged rs. and
Eliza Denison Griswold, aged 70, at
Sankapogue, after the somewhat pro-
longed courtship of fifty years, and now
the editor of the Winsted Herald tells
what he knows about it. Lest any of
our readers might think the above story
mere invention, we will say that we
know it to be literally true. The bride
has lived all her life in the house next
the one III which the editor of this paper
was born (and he is no spring chicken)
and resided during the first four mo-
mentous years of his life; and among his
earliest recollections is that of the low
hung, brass mounted swallow-tail OF
this identical luvyer' as it followed its
wearer past our house to make the
regular Sunday evening visit to this
identical maid Unless we are greatly
in error, the father of the Herald edi-
tor, the late Rev. II. l.. Vail, being
then pastor of the church in East Lyme,
published the constant couple about
the year 1882 or 1888, and the wedding
was expected TO take place Immediately
thereafter. And, SO far as we know
there never was any misunderstanding
or npleasantness, or milf, or flare up
that can be assigned as the cause of tn,
delay. They have always been considereC
engaged, both by themselves and tn
neighbors and during visit to Eas
Lyme, not SO very long ago, we were in
formed that this ancient beau still mad
his every other Sunday evening call, an,
had hardly failed to do so single fort
night for sixty years i! If all followe
their example there would not be s
much unhappiness resulting from hast
marriages. "-Springfeld (faSs) Re

Geographical Changes in Europe.

The researches made by M. Levasseur
rs to the relative extent of territory and
population of France, England, Prussia,
Austria, Germany, and Russia at the
beginning of the eighteenth century, and
the subsequent increase or decrease,
give an idea of the changes which have
since occurred in the positions of what
were then the six great European powers.
In 100 France had a territory of
493, 900 square kilometres; Great Britain,
313,000 Prussia, 10000 Austria,
10000 Germany, 600, 900 and Russia,
1912, 000-their respective populations
being: France, 100000 900; Great
Britain, 1900, 600; Prussia, 1000, 600;
Austria, l2,000,0 900; Germany, 10000
600; and Russia, 100000 In 1889
France had $4,000 square kilometres
and population of 10000, 900; Prussia
had III the meanwhile doubled both her
territory and population, while the other
powers had made IA considerable stride
in population, but had remained rela-
lively stationary in regard to territory.
After the vicissitudes of the Revolu-
ton and the Empire, France found her
self, in 1915, with only 5000 square
kilometres less than in 1889, and popu-
lation of 30,000,000. Prussia, in the
meanwhile, had again doubled both her
territory and population, which stood ut
$50, 600 square kilometres and 10, 500, 900.
Austria had 665, 900 square kilometres
and 100000 inhabitants Germany,
100000 square kilometres and 10000, 900
inhabitants Great Britain, whose SUI
pertices had remained unaltered, had
population of 100000 and Russia
had increased her size to $3.50, 900
square kilometres and a population of
A., 100000.
The France of to-day, setting off the
gain of Savoy and Nice against the loss
of Alsace and Lorraine, has $50, 900
square kilometres-or 5000 more than
in 18l5-with population of 36, 000, 900.
Prussia has territory of $50, 900 square
kilometres and 24,000,0 900 inhabitants
Austria has 500, 900 square kilometres
and 36, 000, 900 inhabitants while Seer
many" stands at 554, 600 and 40, 900, 600
inhabitants. The population of Great
Britain has nearly doubled since 1915,
and Russia numbers 72,000,000 upon
the 5,559,000 square kilometres of her
territory Italy, whose existence as one
power is only of recent date, has now
296, 600 square kilometres and 20, 500, 900
inhabitants.

False Motions.

1t is not slways those who seem most
busy who accomplish the most work.
This was illustrated the other day in a
very forcible manner.
The foreman of one of our large news
paper offices was showing gentleman,
who knew nothing about the printing
business, over the establishment. In
the composing room he watched with
wonder and admiration the thousands of
little bits of metal passing with steady
click, click, like the noise of piece of
machinery, into the polished sticks
which the cOmpositors held in their
hands. The foreman asked him to point
out the man whom he considered the
fastest compositor
The gentleman answered: "That is
easily done; that tall young fellow over
there seems TO set twice as much as any
one IN the room. His hands go about
so fast that l can scarcely follow his mo-
tons"
Wrong" said the foreman, "your
fastest compositor is that quiet looking
young man by the side of the one you
have pointed out. :"
= lie seems very slow and deliberate, +"
said the visitor; ." his hands 10 not move
nearly 80 fast as those OF his neighbor
1t cannot be possible that he sets more
type.
/" 1t is true" replied the foreman
The secret is that he picks up type
every time he goes for it. The other
man makes what we call false notions;
his hand goes twice to the case for a
type, and though he seems to be doing Il
great deal OF work, his stick fills slowly
III comparison with that of his deliberate
neighbor, who never hurries, uses Just
the amount of action sufficient TO
accomplish his purpose, and does not
set one muscle in motion unneces-
sarily."
Half, more than half of the energy
used in the world is expended in false
motions. Men dash about in great
hurry as if they had all the business of
the cityon eirshoulders, and at the end
of the day find they have accomplished
about one hours solid work. Get
your eye well on an object, think a
little and then go for it. One shot
for which steady aim is taken will
accomplish more than volley at ran
dom.
Take things easily as the song says
cts always best to take things in n
quiet sort of way" The amount of
strength expended in "false motions"
would he enough to place every one in
the world beyond the reach of want
could it be utilized.
Keep cool, don't fume and fret and
bother yourself, but think how thing
is to be done and then do it. Avoid
false motions;" let every move you
make mean something, and be an adj
vance toward the end you seek. Make
as many friends in your progress, too,
as you can, and no enemies Cincinnati
