AZ sample OF how n little beginning
grows to stable results, it may be noted
that the Connecticut Legislature, just before
its adjournment last week, voted fourteen
members Of the press $500 ''for their atten-
ton to business and the accuracy Of their
reports" and to remember how this custom
of gratuitic> to reporters in the Connecticut
Legislature originated. In 1868, a reporter
of Hartford paper went out upon social
expedition one afternoon, just before the
session ended, with member of the House
Of Representatives, and by the time the
afternoons work was finished, the member
was thoroughly mellowcd, and promised his
dubious colleague to introduce resolution
into the House giving the reporters in that
body S25 each ''for the fidelity of their re-
ports" In day Or two the day of adjourn
mcnt came. In its closing hours, the APP
peal from the member drunk to the member
sober was responded to by fulfilment of
the promise, and the resolution introduced,
was passed, and the reporters fobbed the
money. The next year the game was re-
peated, and on the year following SIS was
called for in the Senate and House, and
paid. Year by yessr the reporters have
raised their rates until, as already stated,
this year $500 has been paid for the sac
curacy Of the reports they were engaged
and paid to make by their employers Of the
press.

Effect of Diet.

Those people who have known "better
days" and are reduced in circumstances,
keenly suffer under poyerty's heel. Priya-
tons of food, not of quantity but as to quail
ity, to some men who gain their living by
literary pursuit, is most trying. Mental
labor after a certain period of life, even to
those not in the least fastidious, requires a
certain kind of palladium. The steam Will
not rise, the brain mechanism will not work
without the proper fuel. Some mems Ca
pacity could be gagged by what they eat.
As regards the temporarily impecunious
want of proper food tells agaipst theirpower.

crippled in pocket, ''who came to me, one
fine day when had money to spare, saying
that he was starving. gave him half
dollar, and ten minutes afterward saw him
at fruiterer's, buy and eat Duchess pear
and watched him strip off the tissue-paper
covering with the same grace as when,
dining with D'Orsay, he had unfolded his
napkin. 1t was no pretension on his part,
but pure physical craving He Nigh,

mellow, juicy pear was what would do him
most good. When my prospects frightened

A Mexican Mill.

A ride of two miles eastward, under the
shadow Of the arches Of the aqueduct, brings
us to Malinp del lIerculcS-the Mill of Her.
cules There are two of thcnl-the old one,
nearer the town the new, nearer the head
waters Of the river. The new mill is of the
latest New England type, ligh, open, airy,
well arranged, and very costly, with all the
modern Improvements. and with some New
England never secs. Its yard is full of
daintie>t flowers and fruits, with statues
and fountains. The tropical sun lies warm
in this spot, and the rhododendron. rose,
peony, Grunge, lemon, and all tropical beau
ties glow before the doors o.! common cot
ton factory. More striking is the old mill
in this vivid contrast 1t stands back from
the street, near the water-courSe. 1t Is in

light, graceful, and tipped with sided
points and balls. Inside is a spacious gar
den, with walks a.ld iounts and foliage and
flowers Several gardeners daily care for
the nonr!Sllmcnt and pruning of these thirsty
and wanton luxuries. Benches are scattered
around. Thickct- of green and natural
houses are dainily grown together Every
thing is after the best type of lordly pleas
ure-garden, and yet it fronts a factory
where whirring spimdleS and looms are it,
constant music. Flutes and soft recorders
would seem more lifting. Why should not
Northern factories be alike endowed, at least
50 far rs their climate will allow? If
should add that the gay young man who
runs these mills drives into Qucrctaro with
four horses drawing a stage coach that his

constantly and overwhelmingly bankrupt
the Yankee mill-owner may conclude it is
wiser to make his mills less romantic and
his profits more sure. If he also will work
his people less and pay them more his lack

exccIlences he adds these factory gardens of
Queretaro, he will find his mill the more at

TIE bells of st. Michaels Church Cbarl,

TIE bells of st. Michael's Church, Charles
ton, S. c., have an eventful history. They
were brought from England in l764, and
have crossed the ocean five times. They
were seized by the British in 1852, and sent
back to England; they were sold in London,
and returned to Charleston. At the close of
the war they were sent back to the foundry
where they were made, to be rc.cast; and

A CURIOUS religious frenzy has broken out
among the Lapps. When the communion
service began two or three women sprang up
in different parts of the church, and jump,
howl, shrek, and clap their hands. Most
of the congregation join in. Five or six
will cluster around one individual, hugging,
kissing, weeping, and shrieking.
