At the first of each month, Miss Rollin,
of the Ellsworth school takes and keeps
on file samples of the writing of each
pupil. By comparison, she shows the
pupil clearly the real progress he has
made during the months; the faults he
has corrected; and the difficulties he
has mastered. This is an incentive 20 the
little folks and they try hard to show
great improvement before the end of
another month.

to this country, and in the case of

of the contractors. 1t is -ery plain

1t has never been difficult to de-
eide which ofthe two great political
parties is the friend of the laboring
man; but the lines are probably
more distinctly drawn in the present
contest than ever before. The Chi
cago platform and the uncompro-
missing nominees chosen leave no
doubt as to the position of the g. o,
p. on this important question. Har-
rison says that one dollar a day
is sufficient compensation for
the poor mans labor, and
voted and labored in tie Senate in
favor Of the unrestricted immigrg-
ton of Chinese pauperg, and Nor
ton is a genuine millionaire monop
olist.' All those things which are
absolutely necessary for tie susie
nance of the laboring classes are TO
be taxed beyond all reason, while
the pauper labor of other countries
is imported FREE.
Wherein does the great protec-
ton % party offer even justice to
the masses2 Not only does it re-
fuse to favor the laboring man in
any way, but it Expresses his most
vital interests.
The Republican policy, according
to the Chicago platform, is to place
the tariff at SO high a rate that for
eign productions will be excluded
entirely and tEey propose TO take
the entire tax off of whisky and to-
bacco, thus depriving the govern
ment annually of $90,OO0,OO0 ofrev-
enue, derived from the source which
most deserves taxati9n. With these
ends accomplished, where would
we get revenue Tor the support OF
the government? By direct tax
upon the people. Then the manu-
facturers would, as they always
have done, take advantage of the
high tariff, and for every cent placed,
as duty, on foreign productions,
they would add a like amount to
the price of their products. Thus,
in addition to his proportion of di-
rect tax for the support of the gov
eminent, the labo-ing man would
be compelled to pay into the pock-
cts ofthe home manufacturer the
exorbitant amount of the prohibit
tory tariff upon the necessaries Of
life. Win any level-headed poor
man vote for Harrison and Morton2

Plotting Vessels by sound.

Steamers are constantly running among
the islands on the coast of Maine during
the summer. This is the season Of thick
and persistent fog. When pilots can
hardly see the length Of their vessels they
keep up constant noise with their fog
signals. The open sea gives back no
sound But the near or remote vicinity
of cliffs. bluffs. or even high shores, is in.
dictated by the strength of the echo re-.
ceived back from them. In fact, running
by echo is recognized as one of the neces:
stiles of the navigation Of those waters.
This method Is also used to some ex.
tent by steamers on the great rivers. And
it is practiced on the great lakes to some
extent, notably at certain bluff juttine
out into Lake Superior. Passing steam
ers, knowing themselves to be in the
vicinity. when befogged, feel out these
bluffs by sounding their fog signals until
they get back an echo; then they use the
bluffs as q new point Of departure. New

The position Of minister to tho United
States Is In Japan considered, next to the
ambassadorship to the Chinese court, the
highest in the gift Of the mikado. Even
the great foreign powers are subservient
to the United States in this respect, and
Japan is more closely allied with the
United States than with any other country
on the globe Nearly all of the recent i'm
provements In Japan have been imported
from this country, among which are the
postal system. the railroad and telegraph
systems, etc

takes a considerable part in Washington
society. and there are few notable recep-
lions at which the almond eyes and i'm

the past season Nine Kuki, the wife Of
the late minister, did the honors of the
legation In very graceful manner, and
she was so much lionized that her health
gave out, and she was obliged to return
to her own country. She is remarkably
beautiful woman, and all her dresses came

and the maitels are covered with many
beautiful specimens of the fine ivory carv-

of China, make some attempt at perspec-
tive, and the whole house Is fragrant
