The talk Of putting on lines Of vestibuls cars

the question Of the proper ventilation Of coaches
into prominence. In running coaches 1000
miles the air becomes foul ~ to be almost un-
besrabls, and when the same coach Is run 5000
miles 1t would become, with the present modes
of ventilation. . breeder Of disease. For some
years past IL has been question with observing
travellers why the Pullman and Wagner people
do not adopt the Mann budoir plan
Of ventilation. While this build OF

In the Mann boudoir-car the air received first
passes through excelsior. which IL packed In
chests, and which absorbs impurities In winter
It passes through chambers containing hot pipes
and reaches the interior of the car at a pleasant
temperature. In summer IL passes through

The trouble with Gen. Gresham, from the
point of view of the hieh-tarif organs. is that
he 10 supported by such low-tarif Republican
papers as the Chicago Tribune and the ST. Paul
Pioneer-Press. Such exponents OF Republican
doctrine as the Philadelphia Press are very per-
sistently calling attention to this. and they are
now asking for q word of explanation from
Gresham as to his real attitude on the tariff
question. 1t will be interesting to see whether
he accepts this invitation.

the present administration had Disseminated
against the Western country in the matter Of
eficient The administration had been tagging
and Indifferent, and had not kept pace with the
wants and necessities Of the West Competent
men had been stricken down in order that polit-
ical workers might be provided for.
Mr.. Adams, of Illinois. advocated an increase
in the appropriation for the free-delivery sys-

that system.
Mr.. Peters. Of Kansas, was glad that the bill
contained an appropriation for rent and light

Gated the proposition to pay . stated sum to

Mr.. Kerr, of Iowa. objected to that item of the
bill providing for rent. light and fuel for third
class Offices. and referred to the convention Of
the postmasters Of that class as being character
istic OF Democratic ofice-holders.
Mr. Dockery. Of Missouri, remarked that the
convention would nos have been held but for the
fact that the country stood in the shadow Of 3
surplus in the treasury. Neither party need ex-
pect an economic government If the surplus
was TO continue IN the treasury. he opposed
the proposition to Fay fourth-class postm asters

them - being unjust. and suggested that the

With the Posfofice Department lay IN the civil
service reform policy of the present adminisrra-

of the doctrine that the party in power should

HOW THREAD Is NUMBERED.
The Mysteries of Numbers 80, 40,
60 and the Like on SpOOls
of Cotton.

Everybody knows the sizes of thread
Every seamstress knows whether she
wants No. 80 or 60 or 100, and knows,
when she hears the number, about what
is the size OF the strand referred to ;
but how the numbers happen 10 be
what they are, and just what they
mean, not one person in a thousand
knows. And yet it is simple matter
to explain, was the information accorded
a reporter by an employee OF ore OF
the largest spool cotton ma1ufa ctories
in the United States. When $40 yards
of yarn weigh 1000 grains pound CT
cotton, the yarn is No. |. If 1850 yards
weigh a pound it will be No. 2 yarn,
For No. 80 yarn it would take fftv
multiplied by $40 yarns to weigh
pound. This is the whole of the warn
measurement. The early manufac-
tured thread was thres-cord, and the
thread took its number from the num-
Der of the yarn from which it was
made. No. 60 yarn made No. 80 thread.
though in point of fact the actual cali
bre of No 60 thread would equal No. 20
yarn, being three go strands.
When the sewing machine came into
the market as the great consumer, un-
reasoning in its work and memorable ia
its demands for mechanical accuracy,
six cord cotton had to be made as
smoother product. AS thread numbers
we're already established. they were not
altered for the new article, and No. 60
and No. 60 three cord are
Identical in size as we'll as in number. |
To effect this the six-ccrd has to be |
made of yarn twice as firm as that de-
by the three cord. The No. go
would be six strands of No. |
120 yarn. Three-cord spool cotton is
the same number as the yarn it is made
of. Six-cord spool cotton is made of
yarn that is double its number. As
simple thing a. thread is, there are
2 600 different kinds made.

The committing of wanton violence
and damage to churches is 4 serious
criminal offence punishable by law. For
considerable time the Winthrop street
Universalist church in this city, a fine
edifice, has been seriously injured by the
reckless and criminal conduct of boys.
Many of the windows have been broken
and the extensively wrought and orna-
mented glass smashed, by balls, apples,
revolvers, and other missiles. The pro-
prietors of the church are compelled to
take vigorous action. They say that the
parties are known who few days since
committed the last glass breaking out
rage. and if they will at once see to it that
the damage is paid forat the precise cost
of refitting, their names will not be ex-
posed nor proceedings be made again st
them. But those hereafter who break
the windows or do other damage to the
Winthrop street brick church, will be
prosecuted to the extent of the law, and
a public example be made of the offenders.
The proprietors mean just what they
say. n

We publish in this issue an able letter
from VIM Atkinson of this village to the
Quebec Morning Chronicle on the subject of
the Carrabassett and Canadian Railway.
This letter tittingly sets out the great advan-
tages of this route over any other contem-
plated lines of INSTRUMENTATION between
the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Quebec
Central Railway, and the city of Quebec and
the Atlantic coast. The report'of engineer
Hancox' reconnaissance of the Carrabassett
route shows it to be not only the shortest,
easiest grades. cheapest and most feasible
route that can be found for that purpose, but
far superior to the contemplated line up the
Kennebec valley to a junction with the Can
ada Pacific at Moose River. Mr.. Atkinson
points out the potent factors in the compare
tive merits of these two lines with great
clearness. Next Tuesday the Carrabassett
corporators meet in Augusta to organize the
company. Let us hope that the project will
be launched under favorable auspices and
prosecuted with energy and success.-Nortl
