THIS YEARS ELECTIONS.
Where They Will Take PIace-The
Officers to be Elected.

The current year is notably an ''off year"
in general politics. Only eleven States elect
State officers this year. Kentucky will hold
general election for State Treasurer on
August 5. Elections in ten other States will
take place on November5. On that day:
Iowa will elect Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
Maryland will elect Controller and At
tOrney-Geueral.
Massachusetts, will elect Governor and
State officers.
Mississippi Will elect Governor and State
officers
Nebraska will elect Supreme Court Judge
and two Regents.
New Jersey will elect Governor and State
officers.
New York will elect State officers, except
Governor and acknowledgements
Ohio will elect Governor and State officers
Pennsylvania will elect State Treasurer
Virginia will elect Governor and State Off
GERS.
Political interest this year accordingly is
conferred in the elections of the newly-ad-
mitted States-North Dakota, South Dakota,
Washington and MOntana-which are now
framing their constitutions and will elect full
State governments and Legislatures which
will choose eight new United States Senator'S
Each new State will also elect a Representa-
tive in Congress, except South Dakota, which
will elect two.
The terms of no United States Senators ex-
pire next year, so the election of members of
the Legislature this year is of interest as
bearing on national politics only in cases
where members of the Legislature chosen
this year hold. Office for two years The
Senate elected in New York State will vote
for a United States Senator in 1891 to sue
coed the Hon. William N. Eyarts.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION RECORD,
AN OHIO DAM BREAKS,
A Portion of the Hooking Valley Laid
Waste

One of the most disastrous storms ever
known in the Hooking Valley, of Ohio, cul-
minated in the breaking of Sharp's dam at
Sugar Grove, on the Hooking Canal The
dam held in store a large body of water that
supplied the lower levels of the canal The
heavy rains had filled the reservoir
to the banks, when suddenly the dam gave
way, and with a mighty roar the sea of
water went out through the valley, taking
with it every movable object. For twenty
miles the soil was plowed up. Trees fences,
crops and hundreds of heads of live stock
have been swept away
No lives were lost, because the people had
taken warning and because the houses are sit
mated on the bluff that overlooks the valley.
But the canal for miles is a wreck, and thou
sands Of feet Of railroad track were washed
away. At Athens the Cincinnati, Washington
and Baltimore and Hooking Valley railroad
tracks were carried away. Roads and
bridges We're ruined, and the whole valley
for miles looked like a dry watercourse.
Competent judges placed the loss in the hun
dreds of thousands.

The "sentence System.' .'

Charles Dickens, while visiting the Massachusetts school ship, was called upon for a speech" He responded by saying. Boys, do all the good you can and make no fuss about it.
 Mir. Dickens, as his novels attest, be- heved in the beneficial effect of pithy saying and striking proverb-pointed words which would fasten themselves in the memory. The conductors of the Netherlands Mettray," one of the model reform schools of Holland, use this "sen- tence system" as means of moral edu- cation. They hang on the walls such sentences as these,
 "He who seeks himself will not find God;" "A poor man he who has nothing but money;" "He is fool who lives poor to die rich;" ''Labor has a golden bot 7tom;" Care for the moments, and these will care for the years"
 Sometimes a boy is made to learn Q sentence by heart. One boy was over- heard using foul speech to comrade. He was ordered to read to the boys every morning for eight days this sentence, "It is better to be dumb than to use the tongue for filthy talk" It made him clean in speech. Companion.

They were heralded by no flowing adver- tisements. They were signed by no one. Not even the expectancy of we'll known name, so valuable for attachment to bit of humor, ever helped Mir. Welch's articles. Each bon mot was obliged to stand or fall of itself. Nevertheless, as soon as he began to write them they were copied everywhere, and by papers whose editors are most renowned for & quick discernment of tho public taste. They would be copied by The New York Times, Puck, Judge, Life and other papers, credited to The New York Sun, and from there they would drift else where, often losing the original credit on the way.
 Mir. Welch earned from $2, 500 to s, 900 from The New York Sun; but this was by no means his only source of income. His original contributions to other papers and periodicals brought his income up to something like $7,000 year. This is the remarkable feature of his work, as it is remarkable in the case of any humorist where his work pays. But not only did 1t pay largely, but another re- markable feature is that it was made up of bits of only few lines. Fancy 8 man with an income of s7,000 year from dialogues where there is often but one question and one answer, neither occupying more than two or three lines.
 Mir. Welch was quiet, unostentatious person, who sat at his desk in The Sun office writing his scraps of humor, con- densing them into little bits of space, and wondering how his associates could write their longer articles. Day or night, sick or we'll, it made no difference in the number of his jokes. Being afflicted with cancer, and lying in hospital re- covering from an operation that had cut almost into his vitals, he poured forth more jokes than ever. Tho heroism of Gen. Grant, dying of the same disease and writing his memoirs to enrich the family he would leave, excited the ad- miration of the world. Phil Welch lay in hospital, under the hand of death, writing funny scraps to put bread in the mouths of his wife and little chil- dren. But the case of the one is made prominent by the eminence of the writer, while the other was simple joker.

Kate Castieton at Home.

One would not think it probable, after witnessing pretty Kate Castleton dance about the stage, kick up her heels and smile in such a saucy way, that her pet hobby is to arise in the morning at her charming home, Castleton manor, near Oakland, Cal, cook the breakfast, and then tramp all over the place. But she does. After breakfast she takes peep in the stables to see that her horses are being properly fed and cared for, mean ders around to the hennery to feed the poultry, then to the garden to water the flowers, and last, but not least, to the kennels, where she has the finest selec- ton of dogs on the Pacific coast. In fact, there are very few kennels in the world that can equal it, every one of the dogs being prize winner.
 She frequently spends hours in their company, and 1t really seems as though they expected her visits as a part of their daily routine. Big Ned, the dog for whom she would not take fortune, once saved her life. She was taking her morn ing canter one summer two years ago, and was about to alight from the horse, when her dress caught in the saddle. The horse became frightened, gave a sudden start and dragged the fair actress along the ground. Big Ned jumped to the rescue, seized the bridle rein and held the animal still until she was res. cued from her perilous position. Nothing i is too good for Ned. Miss Castleton is also great lover of old bric-a-brac, and 1 her sIITnmer home ia filled with rare and costly specimens.-Chicago Herald.

CARE OF MILK AND CREAM.
Butter Making by an Advocate of Sub
 merged Setting of BIilk.

Butter Making by an Advocate of Sub
 merged Setting of BIilk.
 Professor Short, at meeting of Wis consin Farmers institute, gave expres- sion to the following: Cream not sui ficiently ripened does not produce good keeping or good favored butter. Cream too much ripened yields a bad favored butter. He cautioned the farmers not to put sweet cream in with ripened cream just before churning. No cream should be churned until it has been ripened at least twelve hours.
 The chief reason for butter not keep ing well is the caseine which is permitted to remain in it, and which should be thoroughly washed out before removing the butter from the churn.
 Submerged setting of milk. says this advocate, is preferable to any other sys- tenn, as if the milk is submerged prompt ly, and the water kept cold, as soon as drawn from the COW, it produces more cream than by any other process, and prevents contamination by any impuri- ties in the atmosphere. Experiments at the station have proved that milk left out of the water ten minutes after being drawn from the COW lost per cent. of cream, and that left out half an hour lost 30 per cent over that submerged as quickly as possible after being drawn.
 Not more than 60 per cent. of the but ter contained in it can be got out of sweet cream by any churning process. Sweet cream may be added to that undergoing the ripening process. but il should be well stirred up every morning; any cream ripening, unless a ripener is used, should be frequently stirred tc keep the temperature alike through the entire quantity.
 There is no set method of telling when cream is properly ripened. The butter maker must determine by experience the same as a good baker knows wher bread is raised sufficiently to bake. The probable cause fer having to churn fol an unusual period before butter comes ii the existence of albumen in the cream to effect remedy add a few quarts oi water to the cream at the same tempera ture as the cream; let it stand few minutes; churn again, drawing of tn, water from the bottom; if not successful repeat the process of watering, thu washing out the albumen.
 Salt ia the water is advantageous, bu not enough salt should be used to destroy the value of the buttermilk; put mill cans in ice water at any season to rais the cream, but do not let cream freeze

A Sad State of Affairs.

An evil which threatens women Is the bad literature of the day. Ninety-nine novels out of hundred are injurious. A woman should never read a fictitious story which misrepresents life; she should beware of the sensational book and any book that influences the mind by its passion. Obscene pictures which are passing through our postofices every day should be mathematical in every possible way. l am sometimes tempted to believe that amateur photography is a curse.
 In modern society one-haf of the so- ciety men are wondering how in the world they can get the wives of the other half. This may bring smiles to some faces, but it will bring tears to the eyes of others in this city. Clubs and hotels are becoming dens of corruption. l know a man in New Haven whose hand one-haf the people of this city would be proud to grasp. Yet know that this man has two families living in different parts of this country. There may be others of the same sort whom do not know.-Rev. A. W. Wheeler, of New Haven,
