HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. THE day was
fair and the vote quite full. Throughout
the state there has been falling off from
the vote of 1880. The Republican loss is
very much greater than the Democratic.
1t is probable that Eaton is elected to con-
gress from the First district. The proba-
bility is that the Democrats have elected
the state ticket and three congressman.
Waite (Rep.) is undoubtedly elected in the
Third district. Ten towns just heard from
give Bulkely 2,72S; Waite, 2,22s,. against a
vote in 1880 of 3,259 Republican and 2,316

young New Englander, whose

We -t many years ago to teach district
school in Virginia.
Among his pupils was small, rather
'"'l and iSs:,iticant-looking boy who
annoyed him by his incessant questions.
40 matter what the subject under dis
cussion, this lad apparently never could
get near enough to the bottom of it to
DC content.
One very warm August morning, the
teacher, with no little vanity in knowl-
edge unusual in those days, began to
lecture to the boys on the habits and
characteristics of fish which one of
them had caught during recess. he fin
ished and was about to dismiss the
school, when his inquisitive pupil asked
some question about the gills and their
use.
The question answered, others
followed concerning the scales, skin,
flesh. The poor teacher struggled to
reply with all the information at his
command. But that was small, and the
day grew warmer and the Saturday after
noon's holiday was rapidly slipping away.
"The school will now be dismissed" he
said, at last.
"But the bones You have told us
nothing about the bones ?" said the anx-
ious boy.
Mr.. Dash smothered his annoyance
and gave all the information he could
command on shape, structure and use Of
the bones.
"And now the school -" he be
gan.
"What is inside of the bones?" stolid-
~ came from the corner where the quiet
boy was sitting.
Mr.. Dash never remembered what an.
swer he gave, but the question and his
despair fixed themselves in lis memory.
Thirty-fve years afterward he visited
Washington and entered the room where
| the Justices of the Supreme Court were
sitting.
The Chief Justice, the most learned
| and venerated iurist of his day, was &
man like st. Paul, whose bodily presence

The stranger regarded him at frs
with awe, then with amazement.

If he had not tried to go inside O

The population of the United States

nations. LII ten years Great Britain has
gained in population about 8, 400, 900; in

gained about 100000. In ten years
France gained l, 200, 600, having lost to
Germany population of 100000
Germany, with that increase, gained
less than 100000, or about 1900, 600

Europe has been disturbed by wars, it
is true. But this country was also re-

back three decades, which include two CT

Plants When Travelling.

Many of our readers IN their sojournlngs
by the mountain will desire to carry home
some floral relics of pleasant days, and by
the following simple method they can be
easily transported All that you Will need
is a piece of cotton cloth, colored or white
as you prefer. Take up the plants so as
to leave some soil about their roots, and if
they are thoroughly wetted before removal
the earth will cling tightly to them and
keep them from willing. Tear of a strip
of the cotton and wrap it closely around
the earth and roots, leavInn the branches
exposed. Cover with half dozen thick
nesses of the cotton and pin 1t tightly IN
place, or sew the ends together. Put the
roots and cotton into dish Of water over
night. Next morning wrap up In dry cloth,
and you can pack the plant In yoar trunk
or in basket where 1t will go safely with
Out any injury to It's roots, and il shey are
wrapped up in cloth for week or ten
days the plants will come out fresh ann
falr Seaside and mountain ferns can be
transported in this manner without and
injury to them. Also all kinds OF gardes
and house plants. When unpacked, place
the roots, still in the cotton, into a little
warm water, and give them a good bate
for an hour or more, aul then transplAn
them at nightfall, aud shade for few day

In ROse-WateT.

A stranger with white long hair, a
white coat, white hat with a Grape
band and other evidences of lunacy,
entered a restaurant and said to the
proprietor:
"Sir, let me explain in advance thai
am singular man."
"All right, sir. A singular mans
order is as good as any one els els.
81 want six oysters on the half-shell
on the left-hand half, if you please. u
The oysters were opened and placed
before him, and when he had devoured
them he said:
Nov take six oysters, run them
through clothes ringer to remove the
dampness, and fry them for me III olive
OIL"
This order was also filed, when he
called for cup Of salt and water, added
milk and sugar and drank it down and
asked for his bill.
''I also desire to explain in advance
that am singular man" replied the
proprietor. "Your bill is 81"
"Impossiblel''
"Just So, sir"
"But that is monstrous."
Perhaps it seems high, but that's
my singular way of charging for singular
lunches.
'I1l never pay It'll"
''Then I'll sadden your heartl"
The sad proceedings were about to
begin when the long-haired man forked
over and walked out. The lesson
seemed to sink deep into his heart, for
he halted at fruit stand, and, without
any explanations in advance, paid the
usual price for banana and carried it
off without asking the seller to dip the
ends in rose-water.

a Pleasant Experiment with Salt.

Do you want to grow salt and at the
same time have an interesting, hand
some ornament? The preceding is a
novel chemical experim ent that may be
tried by any one. Put in q goblet one
tablespoonful of salt and one spoonful
CT bluing; fill the goblet one third full
Of water, and set it in position where
1t will have plenty of warmth and sun
light. In little while sparkling crys-
tails viii commence forming on the out
side of the glass, and it is both a novel
and interesting sight to watch it gradu-
ally growing day by day until the out
side of our goblet will be entirely COW
cred over with beautiful white crystals.
Another variation of this beautiful
experiment would be to take goblet
with the base broken off and fasten it
in the center of thin piece of boald,
which may be round, square or oblong.
After the crystals have formed on the
glass, set 1t on a tiny wall bracket, and
place bright holiday or bin thday card
in front of it; this will hide the base, on
which no crystals will form. After
this is done fill the goblet with flowers
or dried grasses, and you Will have a
vase which will cost comparatively little
and in reality adds to the bric-a-brac of
room.

Of the 375, ,0O0,O 900 persons annually
carried over the railroads of the United
States, about 1900 meet with injuries
more or less severe, while AGO are
killed. OF the above numbers, 800 of
those injured and 200 of the killed may
be charged to causes for which the
railroad companies are to greater or
less degree responsible, while the rest
of the casualties are due to the careless.
ness of the passengers themselves. For
every railroad passenger, therefore, who
is killed in the United States, over
SOC. 600 are carried safely; while for
every passenger for whose death the
railroad companies are accountable,
nearly 1000, 900 are safely transported.
For every railroad passenger who Is in
any way Injured, 100000 are safely
carried; while for every passenger in
iured by causes for which the compan-
les are responsible, nearly 100000 are
transported without accident. In Mas
achusetts-where the records have
been more carefully and more syste-
matically kept for the past ten years
than In any other part of the country
the number of passengers carried in
that time was, In round numbers, 400,
100000, OF which number 58I were
injured, 122 of them fatally. OF the
whole number $50 were injured from
causes beyond their own control, the
remainder suffering from their own lack
of care. Thus, for every passenger III
any way injured 68S,000 were safely
carried, while for every passenger killed
5000, 600 in round numbers were trans
ported without injury. If we consider
only those who were killed or injured
from causes over which they themselves
had no control, the results are some
what different. Thus, in Massachusetts,
during the nine years from 1871 to 1879,
the number of passengers carried was
3O3, coo, 000. of which number fifty-one
were killed by causes beyond their own
control. For every person killed,
therefore. 5000, 900 were safely carried.
AS the average distance travelled by
each person was about fifteen miles,
the total distance travelled by all before
death happened to any one was 30, 900,
900 miles. In other words, q passen-
ger with average good luck would travel
at the rate of sixty miles an hour for
ten hours a day, for 300 days in year,
for 500 years, or he would go 800
times around the earth before getting
killed.

The record of patents granted during
the last 200 years throws curious light
upon the progress of the manufacture OF
mirrors. Up to that time the Venetians
had monopoly of the business, but in
1884 the French began to compete, and,
competing in the art, beat all others
from the field, and improved SO rauidly
that in another fifty years, in 1854, q
glass plate was cast in Paris which was
18 inches long and 80 broad. The su-
premecy then gained continues to our
day of three classes Of mirrors supplied
to the American market-the French,
the German, and those of home manu-
fscture, Those of France are greatly
preferable. The latter are imported
pure, to be silvered here upon arrival,
while the German is imported ready. end
that of home manufacture is compare
lively little in demand. American look
ing-glasses are mostly manufactured at
Baltimore, French mirror plates are
mainly prepared in the suburbs of Paris,
while the seat of the German manufac-
tories is III Bavaria. Imported glasses,
with rare exception in the case of special
orders, are framed in this country, a
very large majority in New York city it
self. The size OF the plates as delivered
to the dealers differs good deal. Those
from Germany run from by 8 inches
up to 4S by 20 and 40 by %; Frenoh
glass from 10 by s all in even inches up
to $50 by 81, The beveled glass which

Its arrival, being shipped in plain, even
sheets.
