Our Township Trustees have COM
menced sending out notices to all who
are interested for the purpose of having
all Canada thistles, wild carrots, sweet
clover, or nexious weeds destroyed in
time to prevent going to seed. This is
n matter which should be properly at
tended to, and the laws of the State
authorize the Trustees to have the
work done and the costs charged to the
property if not attended to by the
owner himself. No one should fail to
heed the notice when received.

Since the base ballists made the tour
around the world, it is no longer dan
gerous for ship-wreckcd sailors to be
washed ashore on the Fiji Islands. In
stead of the canibals rushing to the
beach and preparing the terror-stricken
sailor for stow in the soup kettle, they
fall upon their knees and pray him to
give them the rules governing the
great American game.

Brownins's Cou1tship.

It is rather startling to sec journal in the modern Athens gravely announce that Browning wrote Lady Geraldines Court ship in two consecutive hours" As it wal written by Elizabeth Barrett some years be fore she became Mrs. Browning it is not quite clear how it should be ascribed to her bus. band. It was, moreover, written by Miss Barrett in twelve hours, which, though six times the 1.-two hours'' of our Boston con- temporary, was 50 swift that Its production will always be recorded among the excep- tional literary achievements. In this poem (written by Miss Barrett before she had ever seen her future husban6 she alludes to a book of poems he had just published under the title of "Bells and Promegranates," in a line that runs:
 Or from Browning some pomegranate, which, if
 cut down in the middle,
 Shows heart within blood tinctured, of 8 veined
 humanity.
 It Is related that the first meeting between Miss Barrett and MT. Browning was brought about by his calling to thank her for thisaIlu- sion to his poems.-Boston Traveller

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

This ''unkindest cut of all'' was giveI the mugwumps by the Waterbury DEMO GRAF: 1.-The influence of the mugwumI has gone, let us hope forever, from dem, ocratic counsels, and the leaders of the party, with President Cleveland's eX- perience in mind, will hereafter be dis posed to bid that pesky influence tc stand aside." The DEMOCRAT didn't talk that way before election when it was supporting Cleveland. Now it is for Hill Poor Cleveland, how soon we are forgot when we are dead'-politically y.-Willi mantle Chronicle.
 We left all the talking that way be- fore election" to the Chronicle and pa. pers of that ilk. That they talked ab- undantly will probably dispose the mug wumps as they halt occasionally on their way to the tomb ,unwept ,unhonored and unsung, to lear with the adieus of paper that never saw anything good in them but their enmity. As for the DEMOCRAT being ''now for Hill," that may be regarded as a renewed indication that it Is democratic from the top of its head to the soles of it's feet. Governor Hill is a democratic democrat, not one of the mugwump stripe. So is the DEMOCRAT And the Chronicle says the DEMOCRAT ''is now for Hill"
 We'll, what's the matter with Hill :? He's all right.

Now the Tables Were Turned On n Min
 ister Fond of Fishing.
 "Modern conveniences," :" in case of accident, often cause more trouble than the want of them. Here is ludicrous example that Illustrates it-or at least it shows that people who wade in rubber pantaloons must keep right side up. The Harrisburg I'al Telegraph tells the story at the expense of a well known minister who Is very fond of trout fishing:
 A friend made him a present of rubber trousers, attached to which were heavy boots, the whole arrangement forming one piece. He waded in the streams and flshed, and guyed the other fishermen who didn't own gum trousers, and had lots of sport
 At night, when they came in tired and hungry, the dominic would Do nice and dry, while the other fellows would be more or less wet, according to their mishaps, and, of course, would be chaffed by the minister.
 One morning they were all standing on the bank, watching him wading in deep water, and envying him, when all of sudden he stepped on a slippery stone, his feet went up, and he went in over head.
 They f1shed him out and found he weighed about ton, the water having filled up his boots and trousers to the waist. The funny part of it was that they couldn't pull off the combined boots and trousers and so they had to stand him on his head against a tree until the water all ran out.
 It was a very undignified and uncomfor- table position for a minister, made moro 80 by the boys, who stood around and descanted on the great convenience gum trousers were to @ man who went fishing. But he stdll fishes, and once a year comes to Pennsylvania to "whtp" hisfavortte stream.

Brain Weight of Boys and Girls.

In the final result of the comparison of the two sexes in the human race, anatomical re searches will form an important factor. Many anatomists have recognized this fact and have instituted comparisons between the sexes from various points of view. M Gustavs le Bon reviews the work of M. Manouv,ier and that of NJ. Budin, both of whom aver that "sex has 10 influence on brain weight. With them the influence of sex Is nothing more than tho influence of height; and if the females, as whole, exceed the males in brain weight, it is simply because the weight ot the body in the females is much below that of the males" NJ. le Bon puts the theory of his ad- versaries to the test in very ingenious man. her by comparing the brains of males and females having about the same weight. By this investigation 1t Is shown that in the great majority of cases the male children surpass the females of the same weight in their cranial circumference. At the same age, height, and weight of body, the female brain is notably smaller than that of the male-Herald of Health

Old Circus Tricks.

Now that I am out of the circus line do not mind telling you one of the secrets of the business. It Is one of the cutest tricks in the profession of ticket seller. While we were down south and in small towns where the people were unsophisticated, we would adver- tise our big elephant, our dens of lions, tigers, bears and other animals, when we only had horses and mules. That was years ago, how ever, and the people now have to see all the animals in the street before they patronize the show. One fake which every one in the show was Ion to- was the red ticket A man with young lady would walk boldly up to the ticket stand, and to impress his lady companion would pull out roll of money The ticket seller would see 1t, and after re- turning the wrong change and ticket, would put ono of these red slips into the mans hat band, saying, at the same time, that 1t would take him "clear through the menagerie, cir GUS and concert" It was but mark for the other fellows, and that man would be bored to death by the candy, peanut, lemonade concert and song book man, and when they got through he would still be mark for the pickpockets. If he got out of the tent with any of that roll he went in with 1t was not his fault.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

A Mother in the Play.

Some queer mistakes happen to actresses, due to the many roles they enact upon the stage Recently Miss Kathryn Kidder, who Is playing the part of mother to Little Lord Fauntleroy at the Broadway theatre, at tended a reception. The hostess introduced her to a lady, with this remark: "She is the mother of Little Lord Fauntleroy." Some how the lady interpreted the remark liter ally and began to question Miss Kidder about the age of her little son and when she per mitted him to go on the stage. It was an embarrassing moment, when the young ac- tess explained that she was only the mother in the play and not in real life. Miss Kidder Is young and has rich father, who Is willing to star her any time she desires. She told reporter that she pre- ferred to work patiently and become star in the legitimate course of her career rather than start out premaJurely and run the risk of not making a financial success. As she was only 20 years old, she averred that she could wait. Miss Kiddar began her stage career when she was only 16 years old, and made a success with Mayo in "Nordeck" and in Gill lette's 'Held by the Enemy" She Is not at all superstitious, but yet one season she pos sessed a peacock fan which the manager de- clared brought bad luck to the door receipts One night Miss Kidder deliberately laid the peacock fan in the middle of the street and left it there. Business improved from that hour.-New York Mail and Express.

LEGISLATION enacted by the English parliament in the interest of labor is mentioned by an English writer named Clarke. Among other matters he refers to the restrictions upon the employment of women and minors, the limitation of hours of work, the inspection of mines and factories in a manner to safeguard the health and lives of their occupants, the employers liability law, and other legislative enactments of similar char acter. MT Clarke also refers to the Irish land acts which have taken from the landlords and vested in a commission appointed by government the right to determine the proper rent tenant should pay for the use of land. Furthermore, there have been various municipal enact ments under authority of parliament permitting municipal corporations to perform variety of duties hitherto left to individual initiative Labor is cer- tainly occupying a fair share of the time of legislative bodies everywhere.

PROTECTION BY BOUNTY.


 The action of the republican senate in reference to the sugar tax proves that the party has gone protection mad. It is enough to condemn it in the eyes of the American people. Protection by bounty is out of harmony with our na- | tional customs, it is contrary to the spir- | it of our government, it is vicious in principle and disastrous in its conse- quences. A bill that proposes to grant such protection should not be allowed to pass, and it is gratifying to know that a democratic house stands in the way of | its success.
 The assertion was made during the discussion of this bounty clause that, by a bounty of one cent pound, the pro- duction of sugar from beets would be greatly encouraged in this country. There is nothing, however, to show that it would. The effect of such bounty, with the reduction of duty on imported sugar cent a pound as proposed, would simply leave the American producer, so far as the home market is concerned, where he is to-day. The reduction of the customs tax would exactly balance the direct protection afforded by the bounty. With the existing protec- tion on sugar, which Senator Sher- man admits is equivalent to S2 or S3 per cent ad valorem, the American farmers are or ought to be suf- ficiently encouraged to grow sugar beets or sorghum; if not there is no reason to believe that the same encouragement in bounty would effect such result. In fact, there is much less probability that it would, for a bounty is certain to be a target for continuous criticism and is not try. It is essentially contrary to our in- stitutions, and there is little likelihood that with a democratic congress, or even a democratic house, the necessary appro: priations would be made to provide for it. The republicans may vote all the subsidies they choose-subsidies are in their ine-but the democratic party is the party of the constitution, and our constitution is not partial to subsidies and bounties.
 Sugar growing will not be stimulated by bounties-there is too little stability or certainty in their continuance And any tariff bill that proposes protection by bounty, as the senate bill does, should not be made law in this country It will not be while the democrats have power to prevent it. There will be no such legislation at this session of con- gress.
