NOT MASHED on THEIR CANDIDATES.
st. Paul, Nov. 4.-Returns all day have
been generally favorable to the democrats
and the most sanyuine republicans are not
now claiming the election of McGill as
governor by more tn IN 500, while the
democrats are elated and confident that
D.. Ames will be elected by small
majority. The returns are coming In
slowly hundreds of precincts in the state
are remote from telegraph communications
and il is quite probable that 1t may take
the ofiicisl count to decide it. in Henne-
pin county, the home OF DIR. Ames, some
800 ballots for him were thrown out, it
is sail because the word "iabor ticket"
were printed thereon. Affecting this the
republicans claim extensive democratic
frauds in this (Ramsey) county. Whether
McGill is elected or not the republican
state ticket as whole is as he ran about
1900 behind the other candidates for state
offices.

Indiana.
MORE MIXING.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 4.-No positive
lature. Governor Gray said that while
the present returns, if continued on the
rates of republican gains, would elect the
republican state ticket, il would require
the official count to determine whether the
republicans or democrats had carried the
legislature. The republican state central
committee says that, basing claims
upon returns from more than one
half of the counties, the republicans elect
the state ticket by 5000. That the legisla-
ture is in doubt is conceded. Republicans
expect to gain it and democrats hold tena-
ciously to the claim that il will be anti-re-
publican by from two TO four majority.
The congressional delegation is unchanged
since yesterday. The full list is as fol-
lows:
First district, Alvin P. Hewey, republi-
can.
Second, Jno. II. O'Neal, democrat.
Third, j. G. Howard, democrat.
Fourth, w. S. Holman, democrat.
Fifth, G. C. Watson, democrat.
Sixth, Thos. NJ. Browne, republican.
Seventh, w. ID. Bynum, democrat.
Eighth, Jas. I. Johnston, republican.
Ninth, Jas. B. Cheall, republican.
Tenth, VIM. ID. Owen, republican.
Eleventh, Geo. w. Steele, republican.
Twelfth, JAS B. White, republican.
Thirteenth, B. J. Shively, democrat.
The republicans gain three districts, the
first, ninth and twelfth.
THE HOLSTERS.
The republican state central committee
has official returns from eighty-two of the
ninty-two counties In the state which
show a republican net gain on the vote of
1884 of 1854. Estimating the ten remain
ing counties on the basis of 1884 give a
republican plurality on the state ticket of
2l42. There lis no further changes in
the legislative situation. The committees
of both parties insist on their respective
claims, the republicans claiming seventy
eight members and the democrats eighty.
The legislature consists of 100 members of
the house and fifty senators, and Senator
HarrIson's seat at Washington is the prize
to be contested for.

Eggs by Weight.

1t is ammo, ing to the breeder OF blood

the consumer is often vexed 10 fiud tha,
he must pay the same price to-day for q
dozen eggs weighing q pound that be
yesterday paid for dozen weighing o
pound and half Besides, an egg, from
a we'll fed fowl is heavier and richer than
one from a common fowl that is tali
fed. so that weight compared to size is
an indication OF richness. Thus, eggs
of which eight will weigh pound, are
better and richer than eggs OF appar-
emily The same size, OF which ten are re.

1t is high time that this old style OF buy

1t is a relic OF the past, and reminds US
OF the time when dressed hogs sold fol

Possibilities Of Agriculture.

Belgium has 4S0 inhabitants per
square mile. This is an aversge Of three
persons to each four acres. II the Uni
ted States were equally crowded they
would contain population OF 1885,
100000. 1t is hardly possible that this
will ever harpen-siuce, first, the agri.
culture Of Belgium does not support this
population; and, second, the United
States contain relatively more waste land
than Belgium. Nevertheless, the i'm.
mense population a country may be
made TO support, through high farming,
is interesting, and may point relatively
to what the resources of the United
States eventually may be. I,is interest
ing to know that the inhabitants Of Bel
GUM seem happy and contnted peo-

this reason: They are frugal and tenn

Feminine Use OF A0jectives.

1t is often .aid by gentlemen that the
conversational power of ladies would be
more agreeable with the limited use of
The adjec,ives. The exaggerated use of
adjcctives is characteristic only Of Amer
ican women. Their constant habit Of
qualifying everything they see, hear,
smell, taste or touch by inappropriate
superla,ives is not contacted through
ignorance. 1t arises from The ridiculous
custom engeudered during The eigeliDg
period of their school dats. By habit
nal practice il becomes firmly establish

Growth.

Education should be sn inspiration;
and unless teachers themselves are en-
thusiastic students, they cannot inspire
their pupils with love for books and
study. A man whose present attainments
are limited, bat who is brimful OF en-
enthusiasm for reading and study, is q
hundred-fold more likely to become q
successful teacher than man with bet
tel furnished mind who has lost his zeal
Tor intellectual pursuits. A steady
growth in knowledge and culture should
be required Of every teacher; and when
1t is known that one is passing his time
in intellectual sloth, he should be made
to give place to aDother who is worthy
OF preferment.-W. II. Payne, School

Plato on Education.

Plato is The author of the fret s,stem-
attic treatise on education. The, views
be expresses in.his vsrioos works differ
considerably in particulars, and it is
therefore difficult to give concisely the
precepts drawn up by them for our obe-
dience. But the same spirit underlies
his whole teaching. He never forgets
that the beautiful is undistinguishable
from the true, and that.the mind is best
fitted to solve difficult problems which
has been fitted by The enthusiastic con-
temptation OF art. Plato proposes to
intrust education to the state. He lays
great stress upon The influence of race
and blood.-E1
