A GOOD DAYS WORK.

The democratic state convention at New Haven yesterday did its work wisely and we'll. The great responsibility that con fronted the delegates was appreciated and everyone contributed his portion to re- suit that augurs we'll for success in Novem- Der. A winning ticket was offered to the voters, a platform was adopted that must meet the approval of every fair-minded man and consistent democrat, and an en- thusiasm was awakened that will roll along the lines and snow under the poodle ticket put up three weeks ago at Hart ford.
 Judge Morris, the nominee for governor, is substantial and popular citizen of New Haven, the stronghold of Connecticut democracy. He has gone in and out among its people for many years, doing the work that fell to his lot either as a public or private citizen in way to win the approbation of all irrespective of party Rigidly upright in his dealings with others. unfinching in the courage of his convictions, vigorously loyal to every trust reposed in him, active and energetic in the execution of every duty, conspic' uously capable in all the exigencies of life, learned in the law and experienced in practical affairs, Judge Morris has fairly

HUGH MCCULLoCH, who was secretary of the treasury under President Lincoln and Arthur, in his annual repor of 1884 said: ''First, that the existing duties upon raw materials which are to be used ill manufac- ture should be removed. This can be done in the interest of our foreign trade. Second, that the duties upon the articles used or consumed by those who are the least able to bear the burden of taxation should be reduced This also can be effected without prejudice to our export trade" This is what the democrats propose to do.

won the high esteem in which he is held by all classes of his fellow citizens. His strict integrity and high character will de serve and will win the support of those pure minded republicans who cannot en- dorse the political methods of Morgan G. Bulkeley. Judge Morris will receive every democratic vote and many republi- can votes in New Haven. In Hartford, where Bulkeley's peculiar graces have made him popular in certain democratic quar- ters, he will hold his own and we may eN- pect to see Hartford furnish democratic majority. The convention builded wisely when it placed honest, able and popular Judge Morris at the head of the state ticket
 The gentlemen associated with Judge Morris are capable, reputable men, and will add strength to the ticket and give be called upon to fill in November. The unjust mossback system of election that prevails in this state, where by men may enter the state offices through the back door after being overwhelmingly beaten at the polls, leaves the odds in favor of the republicans but the knowledge that such negotiable odds are against them will spur the democrats to greater efforts in be- half of their ticket.
 The platform is model of strength and skill and attraction, and will bring grlst to the democratic mill. It was evidently built by master hand. The vigorous endorsement of President Cleveland and the national policy of tariff reform, ''the repeal of unnecessary taxes now borne by the people," will give confidence to the party and attract those without its ranks who believe in lower taxation. The stem torian demand for election of state officers by plurality, the system that prevails ln thirty-four states of the Union and is con sistent with the genius of our institutions,
 is timely and appropriate. The rotten borough system of legislative representa- tion whereby the stigma of minority rule Is stamped upon our state, should have come in for equally vigorous rebuke. It is not likely that a republican legislature will sacrifice the advantages that accrue to their party from the present njustice-republi- cans are patriots only where gush passes for patriotism. But the exposure of their injustice and meanness may have the effect of impressing the relative merits of the parties on the minds of liberal and fair minded voters, The expose of the county commission farce, which as now conducted is mere tender to the republi- can machine may serve similar purpose. The age of miracles is not wholly passed and it is barely possible that such ex- posures may awake a sense of justice i'll re publican voters. The platform as a whole is strong one, on which Judge Morris and his associates may stand with confidence and hopefulness.
 The work done at yesterdays convention will be an inspiration to the party and a bow of promise that will reveal its highest splendors on the 9th of November. It is the certain harbinSer of success and the sure sign of a brilliant and complete dem | Ocratic victory

JUST BEYOND.

Past the fragrant clover fields, Past the forests with their yields Of dark verdure, resting eyes That are worn with readings wise; Past the blue hills, barriers dear Twixt the hopes beyond and here, Is place Git must be sol Whither it Is good to go. For long for it betimes Of a morning, in my rhymes; And the eve-light finds me still Looking longing, 'gainst my will. It is always just beyond What 1 see, and should q wand Touch mine eyes, grown strangely dtr1s They might pierce the mountain rim And discover wonder spot That IS sweet, but travelled not. Yet, dim visioned, I am sure, Whatsoever I endure, Bad and sad, that far away Past the beauties of the day, AS I see them, stretched and dumb, Is the land of Sweet-To- Como, That is gladder far and fair: Just beyond the mountains there, Just beyond the dimpled lea, Just beyond the silver sea, Just beyond, for me and thee! -Richdrd 4.

JAMES G. BLAINE, "the real leader of the republican party" says that trusts are state affairs and have no place in a national campaign" The republican national con vention which refused to nominate Blaine thought differently. The platform said
 We declare our opposition to all combi- nations of capital organized ill trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily the condi- ton of trade among our citizens, and We recommend to congress and the state legis- latures in their respective jurisdictions such legislation as will prevent the execu- tion of all schemes to oppress the people by undue charges on their supplies or by unjust rates for the transportation of their products to market.
 Which is right, Blaine or the platform It becomes more evident every day that Blaine is Harrison's Burchard.

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the qemand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our laud ! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman X Gray, Baus, and Wilcox X White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

HITLER AS HE STOKE.


 Ben Butler is not at home i'll his high tax robes. He has posed too often as the friend of the workingman to feel easy HOW that he has taken the side of the moIop- olist. Past utterances rise up ill grim mockery and reveal the garb of hypocrisy he has put on in this campaign. He ''never supposed that any tariff was to protect the mill laborer," and he isn't booming high tariff now in the interest of the mill laborer or any other laborer. He is ''voting for Butler, and he is trying to do in 1888 what he failed to do in 1881, defeat Grover Cleveland. This is why his views on the tariff have taken a tumble since 1882. In that year he spoke as fol lows
 Now, gentlemen, there has been con siderable said on the question of the tariff, and there is an attempt to lead the work ingmen to vote the republican ticket upon the ground that if there is any change in the tariff there will be a lowering of wages, and they justify raising more than SlO0, OO0,0OO more than is necessary by taxation in order to have protection. l am opposed to all that, and the assumption Is not true. I have stated the matter precisely in my letter, but 1 want to state it again to you workingmen. A tariff or any other tux coming directly out of the people, out of the producers, should be no larger than the economical expenditures of the govern ment strictly require, and if any man un- dertakes to tax you more than that, he simply robs you under the promise of law, and having got the money badly he spends it badly All needed protection to Ameri can industries all needed protection tC American labor, can be had under such III economic revenue tariff.
 | The tariff was made for war purposes | iii war times and as war tax, and it ought | to have been revised fifteen years ago; yes 1 almost twenty years ago, certainly fifteen Why hash it been done
 It hasn't been done because the republi cans wouldn't let it be done. And they are trying, with the hypocritical Ben's help | to prevent it now. An economic revenue tariff is more than ever needed now witt our congested treasury, and yet Butler op poses it's inauguration. The Mills bill ant the reductions proposed by the democrati policy will furnish all needed protection t American industries and American labor and it will furnish needed relief to tn overloaded treasury.
 Butler is consistent only in his hypocrisy

side the basket a can of salt and water.
The man chooses the fig he intend to
pull, and then, dipping his hand in the
salt water, fattens it between his
fingers, at the same time splitting it
near the stalk. He then places it in
the box Long practice gives great
perfection in the art of pulling and
packing. You see the fruit distributed
in rows SO neatly that knife might be
dropped between them without cutting
any of the fruit. Nearly all the figs

DueIing in Italy.

Dueling is more common in italy
than in France, but casualties are very
rare. The revolver is not popular.
For the duel Italians use the sword
This weapon is found to. test courage
quite as well as the pistol, and to sat-
isfy honor with less, or less frequent,
bloodshed. Still the government is
determined to put down dueling, and
the new penal code deals with the sub
ject very fully and very sensibly.
There is still in Italy kind of codesof
honor, and this is to some extent legal-
lied. The offense is always punisha-
BILE, but a duel conducted against the
laws of dueling is more sharply dealt
with Fine and exile are the punish
ments, and the degrees of guilt are
carefully and nicely apportioned. The
issue of challenge lays the offender
open to a heavy fine; mere encounter
to so much more where 1t ends in q
wound; much more when the wound
happens to be dangerous; whore there
is fatality the survivor is not treated
as murderer. The provision from
which most is hoped is certainly the
most curious Any Italian who re-
proaches felfow-countryman with not

ernment recognizes that most duels are
fought less from resentment than from
vanity Or fear of the loss of public

THE SEA ANEMONE.
A Oueer-Looling Creature with q Y
raeiOus Appetite.

|
| A Queer-Lool1ing Creature with vo-
raeious Appetite.
In structure the sea anemone con-
sists of a sac divided by vertical par
tittons into as many distinct cavities as
there are fingers or tentacles. At birth
there are six of these cavities. then
come twelve, next forty-eight, and so
on. The mouth of the animal occupies
the center of the crown or head of the
anemone. and of all the waving arms
The body of the creature may be de-
scribed' as circular gelatinous bag.
The upper part of this bag is turned in
SO as to form sac within sac. The
inner sac is the stomach of the animal
1t has an aperture in the bottom,
through which the food can pass into
the outer cavity. The eggs are at
tached to and hang on the inner edge
of the partitions. When they mature
they drop into the main body cavity
and enter the stomach through the
hole in the lower opening. From there
the little ones are passed out through
the mouth, from which orifce they
are very tenderly taken up by two
tentacles, which becomes wonderfully
elongated for the occasion. These
tentacles take up the young anemones,
now perfect in form and functions,
and very carefully and slowly deposit
them upon the rock around the base
and close to the mother anemone.
The young anemones may remain for
some time upon the spot where they
are placed, but they have the means of
lOcOmotion. This is effected by a
double set of muscles, one running
around the body and the other longi-
tudinally arranged. / have fourteen
young anemones, all born in my aqua
rum. Their ages vary from three
months down to the youngest, born
four days ago.
The anemOnes are possessed of a Pc
culiar means of offense and defense.
These are poisoned threads or arrows,
embedded in the outer skin substance,
and which are capable of being shot
oat with considerable force and incon-
ceivable rapidity. They bury them
selves in whatever object against
which they are projected, and probably
convey to the wound some poisonous
matter which renders their prey q
helpless victim to the anemone's greedy
mouth.
The anemone has a sense of smell,
also has rudimentary eyes-not of
much use, probably-but the most in
teresting sense which it possesses is
that of taste. Notwithstanding its vo-
raciousness, it has its pronounced likes
and dislikes. | feed mine upon small
bits of oyster or clam Or fresh meat,
scraped fine. Every piece dropped in
the water over them is seized by their
outstretched arms and passed hurried
ly to their mouths. The daintiest food
for them, however, are the small crabs
sometimes found in oyster shells.
These the anemones fairly revel in. A
good-sized sea flower could easily swal-
low a whole crab at ameal.-Baltinaore

Points in Cheese-Making-

It will pay farmers who do not have
good facilities for making butter in hot
weather to make cheese. We give the
essential points to follow in order to
make cheese. There must be tub Of
some kind for a vat, q press and q
cheese-hoop in which to press the curd.
We remember our mothers little rich
cheeses with real relish, If so many
years have elapsed. The milk must be
heated to sc degrees, or near that, and
the rennet added. One drachm rennet-
inc is enough for $50 pounds of milk
This is prepared form of rennet. In
one hour the curd may be cut into
cakes. In half hour heat the curd
up to 100 degrees, doing it slowly
about an hour. By twelve o'clock
draw the whey. When the curd will
draw out thread-like it is ready to put
into the press. The temperature should
be about so degrees. The curd should
be ground or chopped fine; add salt
II pounds for 250 pounds of milk. A
curd may be kept over in cool placa
from one day to another, in q small
dairy, to make enough for cheese.
The curd ripens or cures while in the
whey, and this makes the cheese bet-
ter. Do not hurry this process. Too
much rennet, high-heating and an ex-
cess of acidity spoil cheese-- Fdrnt

THE KOBURGER BIBLE.

A Rare Edition of the Scriptures in Which
Moses Appears With Horns.
The latest addition to the collection
of antiquities, curios, old manuscripts,
ETC., in possession of General Charles
W. Darling, of Utica, N. Y, is a rare
and perfect copy of the Koburger
Bible, printed in folio by Anthony
Koburger, of Nuremburg, 1883. Pre-
vious to this time printing had been
done mostly in Latin, although in 1880
the Italians began to print with Greek
and Hebrew types, which they were
the first to use. Anthony Koburger
was a man of great learning, eminent
also for his elegance in printing,
and styled the Prince of Printers.
He printed thirteen editions of the
Bible in twenty-six years, twelve in
Latin and one in German, all large and
handsome folios. and highly esteemed
as extremely beautiful specimens of
the art. His chef d'euvre was the Ger
man Bible printed in folio, 1883, and
profusely illustrated with most extra
ordinary and complicated wood cuts.
In these curious and fanciful pictures
Moses appears with horns. Jerome,
in translating from the Hebrew, made
the Latin Vulgate say of Moses, as he
came down from the mount, that His
head radiated with light" The error
of Jerome in the translation was occa-
stoned by his misinterpretation of the
Hebrew word signifying both a horn
and pencil of light; for as
the horn of the Oriental buffalo
and pencil of light were
both conical in shape, the same word
xas used in the Hebrew for each. The
Hebrew language to a certain extent is
an object language, and the word here
used is expressive of shape, signifying
that his face had rays of light stream
ing from it.
AS the Vulgate was the Bible of the
Roman Church, Michael Angelo. when
he turned to the Book of Exodus for
description of the appearance of Moses,
found him described as having horns.
This explains the horns on the head of
the great lawgiver of Israel. Thus it
is that wrong translation may mystify
and mislead for ages Interpreters as
well as artists. The title page of tho
Bible reads: Published by Anthony
koburger at the noble, imperial capi-
tai, Nuremburg, after the birth of
Christ and in the Law of Grace the
fourteen hundred three and cightieth
year, on the Monday after Innocents.
