A Specimen of Reform,

In the list Of new postmasters published in

q. f. kilbun appointed at North Parsonstield,
III place of Gardner Smart. Thereby hangs Il
tale. The post office question has been burn
mg issue with the people of that little commu-
nifty of late. and excitement is not likely to be
allayed by the action Of the department. The
Office serves about sixty families, and the IN
come is perhaps $12O Il year. Mr.. Smart has
been postmaster for Il number of years. and is
said to have given general satisfaction. He has
taken but little part III politics. The applicant
circulated a petition and got fifteen OF twenty
names. thercupon protest with - signatures.
many OF them Democratic, was sent to the de-
partment followed by one signed by o1 women
of the place. The part taken by the ladies in
the matter is what renders particularly inter-
e>ting. Their remonstrance reads as follows:
The undersigned women, who receive and
send mail through the postotfce at North Par
s0nsfeid, York county, Maine, without claim
ing any political rights or privileges. respectful
ly protest against the removal of Gardner
SMART postmaster here.
Because Mr.. Smart has performed the duties
of postmaster faithfully and to general accept
ancc; the office is convenient and neat the
mail is promptly delivered, and quiet and good
order are enforced.
Because Mr.. Smart has been cripple many
years, obliged to use a crutch and cane, unable
TO earn Il livelihood by other employment.

These reasons are certainly well put, and de-
served respectful consideration. II the second
Postmaster General received the document be
fore making the change, he may fairly be call
ed unreasonable as well as ungalIant. IT ap-
pears that Mr.. Smart was faithful, efficient and
not Extensively partisan. Moreover a majority
of the people served by the office, regardless of
politics. desired his retention. 1t is not credit
able to Mr.. Stevenson that he chose to disre

Where Tornadoes BEGIN.

The most remarkable and interesting feature
of the development Of tornadoeS is the fact that
they nearly always form southeast of amoving
centre of low pressure. and their tracks, scat
tered here and there. conform closely to the
progressive direction If the main storm. For
example, on February 10, 1884, forty-four tor
nadoeS occurred in Georgia, Alabama, and
South Carolina, but principally i'll Georgia and
Alabama. They developed at distance of from
five hundred to two thousand miles from
a Storm-center that moved across the northern
part fthe United States, beginning at the north
ern extremity ofthe Rocky Mountains in Monta-
ma thence southeasterly through Dakota, Mime
sofa, and Wisconsin TO Northern Illinois and
Indiana, northward through Michigan across
Lake Huron, disappearing north of Quebec.
This sudden sharp turn of the storm-centor
southwark into Illinois and Indiana seems to
have relation to the unprecedentedly large num-
Der ot tOrnadoes that developed not far from
the South Atlantic coast, extending inland as
far as Southern Illinois and Indiana This
SOuthWard lunge of a mass of cold, moist air
seems to have caused the abnormal conditions
of temperature and dew-point. and the high
winds necessary to cause the most tremendous
exhibition of destructive tornado-power ever
recorded by the Signal Service. This invari-
able location southeast of the storm-ccnter is
one of the main pccuarites of tornado de-
velopment upon which the predictions depend

The Flour Market.
REVIEW OF THE FLOUR PRODUCTION BY THE
NOKTIMESTERN MILLER.

REVIEW OF THE FLOUR PRODUCTION BY THE
NOKTHWESTERN MILLER.
In its review Of the flour production and
market the Northwestern Miller of January
1st, will say: The milling operations seem to
continue in the Old groove with no particular
change for the better or worse. Though last
week was cut short nearly two days the flour
production amounted to 1920 pounds, aver
aging 2,S6S pounds daily against 96,05S pounds
the preceding week and 95.60S pounds for the
corresponding time in 1884. Thirteen to fifteen
mills are in motion and the output ranges from
1900 to $4,000 barrels daily. This week, save
with the very largest firms, the mills take
turns running, the same set not continuing two
weeks at time. Two mills that Were in oper-
alton last week are now idle and another of
half their capacity started up. To-day 13 are
in motion with an aggregate capacity of 1000
and another Of 800 barrels is preparing to start
up tomorrow. One of 200 Dbl. capacity will
be closed down this evening. Considerable
flour is being shipped. much of it going into
stores at Duluth and Milwaukee. There is a
trmer feeling in the flour market and millers
are confident there will be improvement in
prices soon.

A Georgia Woman's Coffee.

An Atlanta lady who is an excellent house
keeper, and whose coffee has been praised time
over time, gives the following as the rules and
regulations for making that delightful beverage {:
at is an easy matter to have good coffee. In
the first place, the coffee must be kept in an
air-tight canister, and must be of good quality
and be ground AS it is needed. The cotfee-pot
must be kept scrupuously neat, and must be
kept in the sunshine, whenever there is any
sunshine. The tea-kette in which the water is
boiled must also be kept clean, and fresh water
must be used for making the coffee. The
amount of coffee used must be bounteous else
the product will have a limp taste and will fail
to give satisfaction. If Il good supply of crisp,
freshly ground coffee is put into a clean pot and
fresh boiling water is poured on and the coffee
is allowed to boil while, good coffee is the re
suit. At our home we make coffee extra strong,
use about third of a cup of good fresh milk
with the cream on it, and it is delightful. 1t is
far different from much of the alleged coffee
that a combination of stingness and careless
ness forces helpless people to drink"
The lady is right. Eternal vigilance Is the
price of good coffee. Atlanta Constitution.

Railroad Review,


A REVIEW OF THE RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
DURING TIE PAST YEAR.
The Railroad Ace in its review of railway
building during the past year, will say: The
total length of the main line, not including Sec
ond track sidings or renewals laid in the nit
ed States during 1885. was 3,113 miles, This is
about 100 miles less than the new mileage Of
1884, and it is less than in any year since 1875,
when the total was but 2,GS1 miles. The work
done has been largely on branches and extcn-
Sions of moderate length. In New England and
the east almost no new track has been added.
The principal activity has been in the southern
states and the belt between the Mississippi riv-
er and the Pacific States and Territories. Dur
ing the last ten years the railway mileage of
the United States has been increased "a, ,76S
miles. and now reaches in round numbers a
grand total of 12S,500 miles. These figures, it
should also be remembered, takes no account
of the immense expenditures for additional
main tracks and Sidings well as the renewal
of old tracks. The renewals alone during the
past year have been equivalent to laying thous-
ands of miles of new track, and consumed a
much greater quantity of rails than the extern
sions of new roads for the year. The outlook
for the coming year is full of hope for the manu-
facturers and all Others interested directly or
indirectly in railroad construction, and it seems
certain to be a year of general prosperity in
this country.

The Iron Trade.
EENIr,W or HE 1GuN AND STEEL TRADE FOR
lSNl

EENn'W or HE GGuN AND STEEL TRADE FOR
\ review of the iron trade for lSS5 has just
been prepared by James VI. Swank. general
manager of the American Iron and steel As
Slci9tion. The beginning of the year, he says,
was marked hy the continuation of the de-
preston of 1851 There was steady >aggins
of prices from january to July. except for
steel rails, the quotations for which improved
Il trjt1c in May In judy and August the prices
sritlcncd and in September a Slight advance
was established, steel rails taking the lead, and
continued to advance until December. If there
We're no threats to-day of the tariff revision.
he says, the promise of 1856 would be bright
indeed. However, it can most positively be
said that a feeling of confidence in the future
of the business now prevails throughout the
entire country.
We have entirely recovered from the effects
of whatever panicky feeling prevailed year or
six months ago. The uncertainty about silver
may excite financial circles but it is exercising
no injurious feeling upon the general business.
Almost much pig iron and aS many steel
rails were made in 1885 rs in 1884, notwith-
standing the depression in the first half of
lSSJ. In the first half of 1855 the total pro-
duction of pig iron was 2,15O,Sl6 net tons of
20OO pounds, against 2,267 ,02l tons in the first
half of 1884. and 2,322, ,592 tons in the second
half The production of BesSemer steel rails
in the first half of 1885 was 452, ,446 net tons
against 593,3T0 tons i'll the first half of 1884 and
52S. .23l tons in the last half. Our production
of Bcssemer steel rail was 1,1l6,G21 net tons.
