According to the annual report of
the chief signal officer, General Haz-
en-, which has just been published,
careful estimates have been made of
the percentage of accuracy, showing
S4.6 per cent. for New England and
for the whole country 50 4 per cent.
The total number of cautionary sig
nails displayed during the year was
277G; the number justified was 22S7,
or S2.4 per cent of the whole. 1t is
shown that during the year no gener-
al storm passed over the COUNT
without warning. OF the total num-
Der of cautionary off-shore signals
displayed, 93,5 per cent, were justi-
fled as to direction and $50 per cent
as TO velocity.

AS far as maintaining the solidity
of the south, the democracy can de-
rive but little consolation from the
figures of the recent election. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette points
out that, in Tennessee, Tilden had a
majority of $4,000; Hancock, of
$4,000, and Cleveland of 5000,
while the same tendency is seen in
the Virginias and in Missouri. The
republicans have no cause to be de-
spondent for 1888, providing wisdom
and harmony prevail in their coun-
ellis.

a few years ago while spending some weeks
In n farmhouse in Now Hampshire. Every
week some one would come along and want
TO buy up some old andirons, tall clocks. bel
lows, old ohina, etc. The old lady always
said they could not sell the old family ware,
but ended In accepting the last offor. l saw
three clocks, sots OF China an a number of
andirons go 70 different parties under pro
test, which caused me to wonder how many
sets OF family relics they had, as tho day
after n sale another clock would appear in
the place Of the one sold, and so on. After
some time my curiosity got the better OF me,
and finding the door Of an adjoining shed
open one day, / walked In, and found it
stored with o~ld-fashioned furniture on ough
to fit out a small town. 1 learned Afterwards
that the old farmer and his wife were agents
for a firm near Boston, who manufactured
the relics OF a hundred years ago by tho
Wholesale.
There is hardly any limit to these decep-
tons. Some of our first houses offer
ancient armor, helmets, swords and lances
that are made within twenty miles of New

spurious flint chips or scrapers for the simple
reason that one or woparties have succeeded
In making them A gun-na4ter told Sir John
Lubbock that 1t took him two years to learn
to make one with skilled tools The Aztec
workman seated himself upon the ground and
between his feet held a block OF flint about
eight inches long, from which the knife was
to be taken. A rod of wood, something like
al arrow-staff, with one end fitted into a
square piece OF wood, was pressed against
the breast, the body bent forward, the other
end OF the arrow-like stick coming in contact
with the edge of the flint held between the
feet A quick movement with heavy pressure,
and, presto of Jew a knife of flint as sharp
as II made by machinery, These were made
very rapidly. and with a slight curve, made
formidable weapons. DR.. Davis, the we'll

made these fint knives by a curious pressure

AND now the probability is that our
laws will be revised. Colonel Babbitt's
bill, providing for a committee on re-
vision, has been introduced by him
into the council, and the measure comes
up for action. We favor the revision
of our laws. The bench and bar are
almost unanimous upon revision. II a

there is every eason to believe there
will be, a good set Of laws, harmonious
and practicable, will be the result
At this writing we have no details OF

the point as to revision beias conceded,
there ought to be no trouble in arrang-

A new outdoor game for ladies and
gentlemen is called "Enchantment." 1t is
played with small, light hoops. though the
wand is of q novel construction, involving a
peculiar method of casting the hoop. The
casting of the enchantment hoop properly is
said to exhibit all the grace and elegance of
the figure, while the gentle physical exertion
affords healthful action for every part of
the system, and the excitement is sufficient to
give real interest. A moderately large
piece of ground, whether smooth or not, is
suitable. The bounds Of the game are
indicated by eight colored flags in posts
driven into the ground, lending ornamental
appearance to the lawn. small amount of
practice will secure a good degree of success
IN the game.
