the last democratic candidate for super

Jefferson county democrats bolted Mr..
O'Brien it is as plain as the nose Oh
Carr's face that OBrien would have
been elected. The republicans had
candidate of their own in the field in the

be expected tina. under such circum-
stances they would vote for O'Brien.
The Banner must own up, if it wants to
be fair, that for once democratic know

many manufacturers of Baking Powder
use two columns of the leading newspapers
to show comparative tests. We notice
one brand, De Lands Chemical Baking
Powder, that has never been mentioned
or compared with others. Upon inves-
tigation, we find a statement on the
liable which is the best reason in the
world why other manufacturers avoid
mentioning it.. The brand is DeLand's

Good roads can ne obtained only by the

attic way.--Ldke Genera Herald.
The Herald is reaching out in the di-
recton of good idea. Good roads OF
uniform excellence are a necessity in
every we'll ordered state The first
characteristic of civilization is localized
habitation, on farms and in towns; the
second is roadwdys, for intercommunion.
The two radical, symbolical implements
are the plow for tillage and the wagon
for commerce. But this is rot our day
to preach, so we return to say that a
road il but of little value which is good
in some places and bad in others. A
farmer can start out with only as heavy
load as bis team is able to draw through
the worst mud holes or over the highest
hills. A chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, and road is no better for
heavy pulling than its worst places A
few days since the writer drove easily
for mile or two over a hard, firm road,
and then was almost mired down for the
next mile in series of bog holes That
was because of the foolish distinction
that one part of the road was in one
town and the other part in another. A
considerable sum of money is expended
each spring in raking the gravel and
boulders on the road, over the bluffs

shoveling few loads of dirt over it; but

and leaves the stones in worse shape than
ever. This is because the road supervis-
or does not know how to make road.
That old Scotchman, MacAdam, who has
was pronounced a genius for road making
as Newton had for philosophy, or Blind
Tom for music, proved that there were
two things indispensable to perfect road,
one being a firm foundation, and the
other hard, waterproof covering over
it to keep it dry. It is just as necessary
that the road surface should be tight
roof for the road bed, as that it should
have smooth, hard track for wagon
wheels. The assertions need no demon
stration that there should be some system
which would give US good roads of uni
form excellence, and road masters of
skill and experience in their business.
But there are some difficulties in the
plan suggested by the Herald. It is evi
dent that all roads are not equally hard
to make or equally expensive to main.
tain. Therefore some parts of the state
would need more in proportion than
others. Again, if the road assessment is
based on property, the wealthy commu-
mites might raise more than enough and
the poorer ones would certainly raise less
than enough. Perhaps the Herald can
show how all this can be managed

German Support of Blaine.

German Support of Blaine.
On our streets there is great deal of
blow going on about German detection
towards Blaine. The facts in the case
show that these busybodies are either
Intentionally trying to deceive people or
else talk through ignorance. In Ohio, for
instance, it is asserted there is not Ger
man paper supporting Blaine while the
truth is that in Cincinnati the Volksblatt,
the Freie Presse and Unsere Zeit are
laboring for the success of Blaine and
Logan, leaving but one German paper in
Cincinnati on the democratic aide, name
ly. the Volksfreund. The Anzeiger, of
Cleveland, the Express, of Toledo, the
Germania, Of Steubenville, and the Cor
respondent, of Portsmouth, are also
doing good service in the Republican
cause. Twelve German papers are for
Blaine and Logan and only four support
Cleveland and Hendricks in the entire
state. Not one German Republican
paper has bolted Blaine and the Toledo
Express has the Republican ticket at the
head of its columns for the first time in
several years.

ELECTRICITY and Watches.
Rochester Post-Express,

Rochester Post-Express.
''If you have got watch don't GO
near that machine" said Superintend.
ent Redmond, of the Electric Light
company, to a reporter of the Post
Express, as he entered the company S
building at the lower falls few nights
ago, having safely passed the positive
~ no admittance" sign and gained an
entrance at the usually barred gates.
As he spoke, he pointed TO one Of the
five generators which stood on one side
Of the building, and which, like all the
others in use, emitted constantly bright
sparks of light from the rapidly. revolv-
ing machinery. Each Of these gener-
ators keeps forty electric lights burn
ing all night, and is run by the water
power of the falls, one of the largest
rubber bands in the state being used in
making the wheel 60 around. The noise
in the building, caused by the thous-
ands of revolutions q minute, is almost
deafening, and any conversation is i'm
possible except at q lung-splitting tone
of voice.
What possible connection there
could be between such large piece of
machinery and a watch, even if it be of
the cumbersome kind carried by the re-
porter, was not clear ut q glance, and
he looked interrogatiyely at the super
intendent. ''If you go within certain
distance of that machine" said Mr..
Redmond, sit will spoil your time
keeper" Taking advantage of the
''timely warming" the reporter kept
within the prescribed limits, and gained
some points of interest not generally
known to the public.
One of the most peculiar things con-
nected with the electric hight machine
is the curious effect 1t has on time
pieces. Placed within few feet of the
positive pole of the electric machine,
the watch stops absolutely, if exposed
Immediately to the negative pole of the
machine, it will resume its accustomed
ticking, and it is said very little bad
effect is noticed. Very mkny watches
have been utterly ruined, however, by
careless persons going too close to the
machines, through ignorance or the
neglect of the attendants to warn them
of their danger. None of tho men
employed at the works of the lower
falls carry any costly watch, and Super
tntendent Redmond contents himself
with low-priced piece, with American
works, which is difficult to get out of
order, and which, American-lik will
not admit of defeat from such small
concern as an electric light machine.
One of the most prominent watch
makers in the city said to reporter !

netism is one of the worst things we
have to deal with. A magnet would
create more mischief in half hour

horseshoe magnet in my place for a
big sum. Yes I've known of several
watches being seriously injured by the
electric light machines. You see the
difficulty is with the balance wheel and
hair spring, both of which are made of
steel. The positive pole of the magnet
influences them and causes the watch
to keep all sorts of unreliable time.
While we can replace the spring very
easily, it is more difficult to remedy the
balance of the evil. Principal John G.
Allen, of this city, had costly watch

took it and after working at it three
months succeeded in demagnetizing it,
but the use of the negative pole of a
magnet. That's the only case I've
heard in the city although there are a
few other cases where it has been done.
The finer the mechanism the more
damage is likely to be done, and it is
through the most untiring patience that
they can be brought around to anything
like then original state. It's about
one in hundred that ever is.''
The reporter also found a gentleman
whose $3.50 chronometer had been
ruined in this way.

About January.

january derives its n1me from Janus,
one of the divinities of the Romans,
and held by them in the deepest veneer
alton. He was said to preside over the
Gates of Heaven, and selected by M.
ma Pompilius as duly possessed of the
qualifications peculiarly adopted for
presiding over the year. Not only on
account of the knowledge he was
thought to possess of the past, but
more especially from his presumed
power of fol esight, Janus was often rep
resented with two faces turned from
each other-the one old, representing
his experience with reference to by,
gone events; the other young and typ
ical of his looking forward into futur-
ity. Sometimes he was portrayed with
four faces, as eInblems of the four sea-
sons over which he was afiudged to
have control frequently with
a key in his right hand and
a rod in his left, to symbolic
his ruling of tho year. He was also
depicted, i'll some instances, seated in
the center of twelve affairs, in token of
Numa's division;of the months, with
figures on his hands to the amount of
the number of days to which the wear
was augmented by that wise sovereign.
January was called by the Saxons
Wolf-Monat, or Woh-Month, because
the wolves at this season failing, in
consequence of the cold and snow, to
meet with the inferior animals, their
usual food, were accustomed to attack
man himself. Later, when the Saxons
were converted to the true faith, they
termed the month After ule-this is,
after Christmas. In the fine illumin-
ated calendars of the Middle Ages JAN
uary was frequently represented az an
old man clothed in white with a billet
of wood under his left arm, shiyering
and blowing his fingers.

The Arrangement of Flowers.
Viok's Monthly.

We read great deal about the prop
er ARA cement of flowers when used
in vases, some of these arrangements
are good and some l mnst take excep
tons to. For instance, in late Eng.
lish magazine read that roses must
never be put into vases with any other
flower. Now, have often used them
with white flowers of delicate, airy ma
ture, such as the wild clematis, or vir.
gins bower, with charming effect.
The clematis gives precisely the unstudi-
ed and graceful effect which any vase
of flowers should have, because it is its
nature to be graceful, and beautiful as
roses are, as flowers, the habit of the
plant as to branch or stem, is not one
calculated to make a group of them
quite satisfying by themselves when
used in q vase or any dish standing up
well from the table With the Gle mats
dropping about the vase and trailing
on the table, and the roses lifting their
clusters above them, there is nothing
finer III the line of decoration. | have
often used lunches of palest apple
blossoms with early roses with most
satisfactory results. Roses and flower
ing sumach combine exqulsitely. So
do roses and the great clusters of the
white Towering elder. For fiat bou-
quets, or use in bowls, these two are
especially useful in connection with
each other.
Sweet peas are the only flowers that
l would keep by themselves. | have
never felt satisfied with the result when
l put anything else in the vase with
them. l have vase which | call nv
sweet pea vase, because it seems so
we'll adapted to show them off to the best
advantage that l kept it expressly for
them. 1t is of clear glass tall, and
flaming, like lily at the top. l cut my
sweet peas with long stems, and never
attempted to arrange them nicely, for
it is characteristic of this fowor that
it can never be anything but graceful
under any circumstances. Do not
cut too many, for they must not be
crowded. You want just enough to
fill yonr vase and let them bend about
and they can not do this If
crowded in the least. With Just the
right quantity they will arrange them
selves IN a way to delight an artist; all
you have to do is to thrust the stems in
to the water.
Some will droOp, others remain up
right, but the general effect will be airy,
graceful, delicate. 1 lately read an
article advising the use of a few sprays
of Mignonette with sweet peas: Do not |
do it. The strong fragrance of the |
overpowers the more de-
iicate odor of the Sweet Peas. They |
are fragrant enough of themselves.
The Gladiolus is q charming flower
dor use In tall vases. Ferns are the |
only green things l would use with |
them. This flower is most effective |
when kept by itself.
