road, he announced in one of his reports to the directors that the road had given passes to the two bishops of Georgia, meaning Bishop Beckwith of the Episcopal church and Bishop Pierce of the Methodist. The venerable William Duncan, an iron-ribbed Scotch Presbyterian, and one of the leading directors, sprang to his feet and made the point that every Presbyterian pastor in the State and every Baptist pastor was just ss really bishop as the bishops of other de- nominations, and that the road should not discriminate. He carried his point and Colo nel Screven chserful1y admitted that he knew less about ecclesiastical affairs than he did about railroads. The Central railroad has recently adopted a new~rale in Issuing ministerial passes. The minister is required to file an application and certify that he has no other occupation and has no other busi- ness. Everybody along it's line knows that this rule shuts out the very ministers who of all others need the pass most, and large number of the most deserving ministers in the State. Many of them have large fami- lies, and in great self-denial serve churches too poor to maintain them, and nobly devote part of their time to farm, a workshop or schoolroom. Georgia, if not the world, has been evangelical by just such men. Paul, were he alive, couldn't get 8 pass on the Central because he was tent maker. Peter would have to foot it or pay full fare because he was 8 fisherman.

REFORm IN ELECTION METHODS.

REFORM IN ELECTION METHODS.
 How to get an honest ballot is question
 with which the lawmakers In several States
 are dealing. A bill is before the Massachu- setts legislature which aims to secure abso-
 bls for a reasonably large number of men to
 bring the candidate of their choice before the people.
 The bill provides that the printing of all
 ballots for the election of State and city off, cers shall be paid for by the State, or by the several cities. When convention of dele gates is held for the purpose of nominating candidates to one or more offices, the names of those selected must be filed with the sec- retary of the commonwealth, or the clerks of the respective cities, from seven to thirty days before the day of election, the time va rying with city and State officials. But, be- side the candidates of conventions, nomina- ton papers signed by number of qualified voters ia the political division or district for which the candidate is presented are to be received as in all respects as valid as cus- tomary nomination by convention. The names of the various candidates, with
 
 then to be printed, at the public expense, upon 8 regular ballot, each ballot bearing upon 1t the names of all of the candidates, the choice of the eleotor to be designated by cross mark (X) opposite the names of those whom he wishes to have chosen. These bal lots are to be distributed by regular sworn officials, who are to give but one ballot to each voter, unless he can show that the one given him was in some way accidentally spoiled. Eaoh polling place is to be provid- ed with 8 suitable number of stalls or com- partments, in which voters may conveniently mark their ballots, so that their ballots while being marked may be screened from the obs | servation of others; the inclosure to be pro- tected by guard rail so constructed that only persons within the rail can approach within six feet of the ballot boxes or the compartments, the compartments to be pro- vided with indelible pencils for marking the ballots. No voter Is to be allowed to show his ballot to any person with an ap- parent intention of letting it be known how he voted or is about to vote, and anyone who interferes or attempts to interfere with a voter in preparing his ballot, or endeavors to ascertain or induce any voter to show how he has voted or intends to vote, is to be pun ished by fine. In counting the votes any ballot not officially printed will be void, and if from any ballot it is impossible to deter mine the voters choice for one or more offices that ballot is not to be counted for those offices.
 This is a we'll constructed measure. It is to be hoped that it will become law, and that the plan will be fairly and fully tried. There does not seem to be any good reason why it should not bring about much need ed reform

 THE OTTER AT H0ME.
The Habits of Q Great Fsur.Footed

 From the Cornhill Magazins
 Nothing is te be seen yet in the water or on the banks. A flash of bright blue shoots over the water and vanishes in hole h the bank. It is the kingisher, who has made his nest in & spot secure from harm. The bird has taken my attention from the tree in the water for few moments. There is the otter sitting on the grey trunk In the warm sunlight. He is near enough for me to study his appearance and all his meve- nents we'll Like large cat he looks, which has been tnrswa in the water and crawled out. Some people think that the fur of the otter throws the water oA like the feathers of ducks back. That is net the case; his fur protects his body in different way. Anyone whe has seen 2 water rat come up on the bank after dive will have good idea of the general appear ance eff the otter's fur. Now he gives his csat c shake and combs his fur e bit with his short, webbed feet. That powerful tail of his hangs half out of the water, and his head is turned in my direction, locking for tho moment just like that of an infuriated tiger in miniature, az with ears drawn close te his head, be snarls and shows his teeth. When properly treated, the otter is easily converted inte an affectionate and playful pet For these who may not be faailiaI with hiR, let ne describe his appearance more exactly. He is a trihe longer than g cat, having 6 very cas like head, only Aatter, which is provided with c fRe set of teeth, and he can use theA with terrible force fe1 his size. On his lip he has let of streRs brissles. His eyes are snail, but have g l watehful leek about them; the neck is al most as thick as his chest; his bedy is lene and round; the legs are very short, strong | and flexible; the toes web6ed for 8 great I part ef their length, and the claws on then sharp. The tail is thick at the root an6 l tapers off to point; it is very powerful, ai said before, aad is, in fact, his swimming | machine. In color he is dark beown, as , rale, with the aides of his head and throa 1 brownish gray. He has been sitting in th
 sunlight while have sketehed his portrait now he thinks he will get little more into 1 tho shade; so, with peculiar loping gait 1 he moves further up the trunk and rests by l the side of large linab. New he show l himself ts perfection, and I have managed I to slip down on the boards of the wier | where lie, flat as founder, and can studJ
 the animal, where an animal shows hlmsel
 most naturally, in his own home. There Il l just little swell in the water, and bis mat shows her head above the surface. She hal 1 her feet on the trunk, and is just about tt I join her lord and master, when moornel flies from the meadow into the river, squat 1 tering with her feet in the water. That Il l enough; with enc gliding plunge, leavlni not trace on the surface, they are under tn
 bank in their own quarters.

copies, and he paid for the printing of it himself Soon after the book was issued and before many copies had been sold a fire occurred in the publishing house where the volumes were stored and they were destroy ed. As the publisher carried full insur- ance on the stock MT. Lowell was able to realize the full cash value of his venture and he had the satisfaction of saying that the en- tire edition was exhausted. And perhaps it was just as well for the public.
 The Berlin Anthropological museum has just received model of one of the towers of silence in which the Parsees bury their dead. For this purpose high round towers are built on the hills, which have circumference of 300 feet. At the top of the tower is plat form sloping toward the center, where cis- tern 150 feet deep Is placed. The platform is divided into three equal parts, set apart for bodies of men, women and children. As soon as the naked esrpses have been placed, docks of vultures, which are always lowering around, begin their ghastly meal, and before long only the bare bones are left. These are swept into the cistern by means of water, with which the platform is flushed, and after the bones are dissolved in the cistern the water passes through four subterranean canals and is then disinfected by means of a filter.

Her dis placement is Ii $40 tons and her indicated horsepower 12, ,000. It is expected that she will steam nineteen miles an hour, and her 900 tons of coal will take her 5000 miles at more than half speed. Her external steel arrnor is from fourteen to twenty inches in thickness. Her offensive weapons comprise four sixty-seyen-ton, guns in turrsts, eight -fve-inch in the box battery, and six thirty six.poundsr and eight six-pounder quick firing guns. There will also be eight torpedo tubes, for each of which three Whitehead torpedoes will be carried. She is divided into 12O water tight compartments and her pumps have a capacity of 5000 tons an hour.
