as the full houscmaid skirt proved last sum
mer. This natty overlress, also called the
lavense tunic, is pretty for dresses Of two

Sulphurous Acid in the Air of Cities

Under the slow but continuous action of
the sulphurous acid thrown in the air of cities
by the combustion Of coal and the influence
of the frequent changes in the degree of at
mospheric humidity, it is found that the
peroxide of red lead, used in coloring certain
placards, is destroyed and stipulated. At the
same time the protoxde Of lead thus liberated
is transformed into insouble sulphite, and
this salt, being easily analysed, it is believed
that certain means is thus obtained for de-
termining the condition Of the atmosphere in
large cities and its relations to the public
health

Glass Flooring.

Glass flooring is being increasingly substi-
tuted for boards in Paris, this being especially
the case in those business structures where
the cellars are used for Offices. At the bank
of the Credit Lyonnaise the whole of the
ground in front is paved with large squares
of roughencd glass imbedded in strong iron
frame, and in the cellar beneath there is suf-
iicent light, even on dull days, to enable
clerks to work without gas, Although its
prime cost is much greater than that Of
boards, glass is in the long run, far cheaper,
owing to its almost unlimited durability.

fitted the parts exactly together, finished 1t OIL

When this girl has home of her own, or

There is hardly II day in the household that
something does not break or get out of re-

have to wait till their fathers or brothers
come home to mend it. Neither will they be
obliged to be constantly sending for car

REUNITED.

Once again they two are standing,
Hand in hand, clasped firm and fast
Once again their hearts are throbbing
With the rapturous words, AT last"
All the past is now receding,
With its weary weight Of pain,
And the years are backward rolling
With their hopes SO frail and vain.
All the waters are suhsiding
That were once so fierce and drear
And the grains of sand are shining
On the shore Of Hope so near.
Now they moor their long tossed vessel
To the strand SO clear and bright,
While the dawn creeps slowly upward,
Out Of darkness bringing light.
Out OF shadow bringing sunshine
Out of sorrow blessed rest
Knowing that the burden had been
Sent 10y Him who knoweth best,

More Trouble.

Hon. +. X. OBrien of Thomaston, who
was a candidate for the Waldoboro collector
ship, and the bosom political enemy of Mr..
Moore, who is appointed, has blood in his
eye. He has been to Washington and told
the administration what he thinks of it. APP
parently. he did not succeed in impressing
anybody with his theory that the country
will be ruined by the appointment, for the
President has since sent Mr.. Moore's name
to tie Senate. Mr. O'Brien is reported to
have left Washington under the belief that
the appointment was secured through the in
huence of Hon Frank Jones of New Hamp-
shire, and when he got to Boston. meeting
Jones at the Quincy House, he went for him
about it red hot. Mr.. Jones is understood to
have discaimed having any thing to do with
the matter, and we have no idea that he did.
This theory that the distinguished New
Hampshire gentleman is interesting himself
81 much in Maine affairs and that his hand
is in every appointment made, never had
more than one or two facts to sustain 1t, and
is now good deal of a chestnut The full
story of what led to Mr.. Moores appoint

Mr. Jones's name would not lend the chief

ment of land in severatv to Indians. is
the beginning of a better state of things

and necessarily follows that the courts
must be thrown open to them to defend
their rights. and that the old anomalous
condition of things. by which Indians are
recognized neither as citizens nor subjects.
foreigners nor natives, must pass away
They will have chance under the new

is ground for hope that the red man may
find an established place in the ranks of

the missing will of the miser James Henry

little attic in this city. was resumed before
Surrogate Rollins this morning The same
listless faces which have been prese It at the
hearing of the hum-drum testimony as the
case has dragged along were suddenly beam
ing with the livelest interest when during
the dsy il became known that the stakes in
the race were to be counted by hundreds of
thousands instead of thousands, and the
winning man would be enriched for life.
The secret money bags of the miser had at
last been found and property of one-half a
million hinged on the contest.
1t is rarely that more romantic story is
heard than that which was told to-day before
the Surrogate 'Old Miser Paine's" history
and the story of his miserable end have been
told, and readers well remember that Paine
was a grand nephew of Robert Treat Paine,
who signed the Declaration of Independence
IA member of one of Massachusetts oldest
families, well bred and educated On the
23d of December last he died in an attic on

testimony thirteen tallies were taken from
the republican column and sixteen added
to the democratic column while the sheet
was in the hands of democrats. All the
evidence thus far gathered, both inside

New Years presents for the old folks in the

post-ofice, the gross amount sent for the
three days being Sll7 1888. This is the larg-
est amount ever sent in the same time. Dr..
Mcdonald, the superintendent of the money
order system, saws that his long experience
teaches him that there is no surer sign OF m
dustrial prosperity than that found in the
increase of funds thus sent to foreign coun-
tries From the statistics he concludes that
the laboring people of the United States have
been able to save for Christmas presents so
per cent more this year than last year, and
that this shows corresponding increase in
national prosperity.
