leave home and come to New York for a day
or two, perhaps on Sol Mantrings sloop, and
keep up after fashion the acquaintance he
had made, but to remain in the city any
length of time and spend money as he had
been doing, was not to be thought Of; the
money could not be taken from the family
purse or saved in any way that Inc could de-
wise.
oh that he might speculate! Oh that the
people who had thought of Hayn farm as q
site for cottage village would make haste to
decide and purchase, so the family's property
might be in money instead of land-solid
earth, which could not be spent while in its
earthly condition. Oh that he might at least
find occupation in New York; he would deny
himself anything for the sake of replacing
himself on the farm by a laborer, who would
be fully as useful with two hands as he, If he
might remain In the city. Why had he never
had the sense to study any business but farm
ing3 There were two stores and factory at
Haynton; had he taken employment in either
of these. as he had been invited to do, he
might have learned something that would be
of avail In New York.
But, alas! it was too late. He must go
back to the farm-go away from Lucia. How
should he say farewell to herr Could he ask
her to accept an occasional letter from him
and to replya Would the Tramlays want to
spend the next summer at Hayn farml he
wondered. Should they come and Lucia see
him carrying pail Of pea pods to the pig
sty, or starting off with oil skins and big
black basket for q days fishing off shore,
would not her pretty lip curl in disdaina Or
If the family wanted to 60 to the beach for a
bath, would he come In from the fields in
faded cotton shirt and trousers and bandless
old straw hat to drive them downf
No; none of these things should occur. The
Tramlays should not again board at Hayn
farm, unless he could manage in some way to
be away from home at the time. He would
oppose IL with all his might. And yet, what
could no say by way Of explanation to his
parents2 There are some things that one
cannot explain-not If one Is young man
who has suddenly had his head turned by

How he should say farewell to Lucia trou-
bled him a great deal, particularly as the
time was approaching rapidly. To tell her
of his love would be unmanly, while he was
unable 70 carry love forward to its natural
fruition; but, on the other hand, would it be
right for him to take mere friendly leave af-
ter having betrayed himself over her hand at
the carriage window3 And IL her manifesta-
tions Of jealousy at the Dinon party meant
anything more than mere desire to monopop

Educated Horses.

Doubtless most of you think when you see the performances of trained horses in the circuses of today that great ad- vance has been made in educating the animals over what was done in ancient times. But you are mistaken, for even the most wonderful exploits of the horses of the present day are repetitions of what was done with them several hundred years ago. In those days horses not only danced upon their hind legs. but fought mock battles, striking at their enemies with their fore feet, and showing what appeared to be remarkable intelligence. Perhaps the most surprising feat ever performed by horse was in the olden time. A large three sided braided rope was stretched several feet from the ground, and upon this the horse walked, preserving it's balance perfectly. In an old print picture of the act is shown, while another cut represents horse striking the shield of soldier with its hoofs. Even the elephant, generally considered the most ungainly of animals, was trained in those days to walk the tight rope, not only near the ground, but, if we may believe the old writers, it traversed ropes swung above the heads of the audience, and not only preserved its balance, but bore a man upon its back.

Tho Way to Wash Windows.

There is right and wrong way to wash windows, and as this operation IS usually dreaded. the following method will doubtless be appreciated. as it saves both time and labor: Choose dull day, or at least a time when the sun is not shining on the window, for when the sun shines on the window it causes it to be dry streaked, no matter how much it is rubbed. Take a painters brush and dust them inside and out, washing all the wood work inside before touching the glass. The latter must be washed sim ply in warm water diluted with ammo nia-do not use soap. Use small cloth with a pointed stick to get the dust out of the corners; wipe dry with soft piece of cotton cloth-do not use linen as it makes the glass linty when dry Polish with tissue paper or old news paper. You will find this can be done in half the time taken where soap is used, and the result will be brighter windows.-Pittsburg Reporter.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

k Although the legislature refused to abolish the death penalty, the fact that it voted to commute the murderer Swift's sentence gives force to the plea that Connecticut should wipe it from it's statutes. If justice is to give way to sentiment, as in the Swift case, it would perhaps be as we'll to do away with the opportunity for such perversion in future.
 There was nothing in the circum- stances of Swift's case that could recom- mend him to mercy, nothing save the tears and pleadings of pretty and de- voted sister that could influence the leg islature to reverse the findings of court and jury. Swift's crime was murder most foul and brutal, and there Was not a single extenuating or mitigating cir constance to awaken pity for the drunken wretch. So long as death re- mains the penalty for murder, so long as 8 fair trial ends in a verdict that inn plies this penalty, just so long should brutes like Swift be made to stretch hemp. It is neither wise nor just for .egislators to change that penalty in an
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-03

instance where there was nothing to com mend but sympathy for the relatives of a brutal villain. It may perhaps be questionable whether the death penalty should be stricken from our statute bt o'1s, it may be deemed unwise to take from before the eyes of those who have murder in their hearts the shadow of the gallows, but the action of the legislature in regard to Swift will strengthen the hands of those who think that death should not be wis ited on the heads of those who rob their fellow men of life. If the extreme pen alty is not imposed on murderer like Swift, with what justice or what con- sistency can it be visited on Terrence McKiernan or Frederick Ruff or the their hands in the blood of their fellows! The crime of either or both of these men was much less heinous, much less hor- rible ill its details, much less unpardon- And yet, if either or both of them should be found guilty of murder in the first degree. it would be manifestly unfair to
 visit on their heads the death penalty which was remitted in the csse of Swift. For ourselves we are not at all con vinced that the death penalty should go, but we confess, after the action taken in Swifts case, we should not feel dis posed to argue for the continuance of a penalty that seems in regard to its en- forcement, to have fallen into innocu- ous desuetude. Whether or not the in- frequency of capital punishment had anything to do as an melting or contri- butory cause with the forty or more murders that occurred last year in Con- necticut, it is fact that Connecticut murderers as rule feel pretty secure in the belief that hanging is played out in the state. And the communication of Swift's sentence will go very largely to strengthen that feeling, and may pave the way for future murders in the state, The action of the legislature was a mis. take second in its degree only to the entire abolition of capital punishment.
 There is need of little old-fashion. ed treatment of murder ill Connecticut.

That Most Serious Problem.

Too many young mothers, in their effort to make their first child perfect, go to great extremes in noticing every fault and laying too great stress upon gov ernment. This is done before every one, even the passing caller. think it has the tendency to harder a child, and the expostulation loses its effect. It is pro verbal that children always act their worst when there is company in the house. l had one child who seemed to take advantage every time any one called. 1 grew perfectly discouraged, and felt as if there was no remedy for it. He would slide down the banisters, go whooping through the house, slam doors and do the most unexpected things, till l was mortified beyond expression. finally made it point to take him by the hand, and ask my caller to ex- cuse us a moment-take him to another say that would send for him when he was wanted. He would remain there quietly waiting. When the caller was gone l would go and release him. It seemed the only way to do. The more he was punished and admonished before people the worse he became. So tried hiding his faults and praising him for the good he did. It had much better effect, and is still as effective. To some CnuOren natures lC IS even nuinlnaClng to be reproved before other children. do not think humiliation the proper way to reform.
 Self respect is much better trait to develop. Let your child begin to feel early that you expect only the best things of it. and you will start it in a much better way. Do not allow it to argue with you from the beg uing, and never laugh at cute things it may do or say, and repeat them to your friends in the presence of the child. If it is wide awake child it will do and say many things that will be intensely amusing, and, if you wish, keep book and put them down for future enjoyment-but never let the child know it.-Philadel- phia Call

Barbers in Olden Tipoes.

It isseldom in these days that you hear of a person being leeched or cupped. It is rapidly becoming lost art. Not a portant business in connection with a tonsoriaI establishment. In fact 1t was almost profession of it's own. Cupping and leeching were very popular among the Germans, and, whether weak or strong, they followed the use. Not 6 great many years ago an apprentice bar. Der invariably had to become as prof. cient in the application of the leech as he did in the shaving line. Barbers also did good deal of tooth jerking, but that part of the business is also no more since dentists are SO numerous.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

IN Winchester, Mass, recently the peo- pie elected man for postmaster whose name was sent to Washington. The plan has received good many words of encouragement from press and public, but Henry Watterson points out in his Louisville Courier Journal fatal objec- tion to it's adoption in the south. In many communities in that section, says MT Watterson, it would disfranchise all or nearly all, the people who use the postoffice. The choice of the postmaster would, in such cases, devolve on the col ored residents, whose only use for the postoffice is to go into it 365 days in every year (except leap years, when they go 366 times), and inquire for a letter, without ever getting one.

IN OUR NEW QUARTERS.

The DEMOCRAT is now comfortably housed in its new quarters in Grannis' block at No 153 South Main street where we have increased facilities for catering to our growing business and where we hope tobe able to give still better satisfac- ton to the patrons of our job printing department.
 During the sixteen months of its life as daily the DEMOCRAT has met with marked success, and it feels confident that it has bright and prosperous fu- ture before it. It has attained position and an influence in the community not second to its contemporaries of an older growth. Its position on matters affect ing the interest of the community has been invariably right, and when it has raised its voice in any particular direc- tion it has been heard with respect and needed to very considerable extent. This has been shown particularly in the passage of an ordinance prohibiting pol icy playing which the DEMOCRAT alone of the local papers urged on the city fathers, and in the settlement of the new water supply question, on which we took ground that it was the duty of the city to go slow and to adopt no SUD- ply until the various sources had been thoroughly and disinterestedly investi- gated. We propose in the future to steer the same course. The interest of Waterbury and its people will be our first care, and the dissemination of dem- ocratic principles our earnest and un- ceasing occupation. In our purpose we bespeak the support of a constantly growing patronage which we propose always to serve with as much care and attention as we have shown in the past.
 We most cordially invite all the people of Waterbury to visit us in our new quarters, to put their names on our sub scription books, to bring us in their job printing and to favor us with their ad- vertising patronage. They will find us at 153 South Main street where they will always find hearty and royal welcome | Ne careful treatment.

Gauss Invention of the Telegraph.

II don't remember" writes Gauss to Olbers on the 20th of November of the year 1883, my having made any pre- yious mention to you of an astonishing piece of mechanism that we have de- vised. It consists of galvanic circuit conducted through wires stretched through the air over the houses up to the steeple of St. John and down again, and connecting the observatory with the physical laboratory. which is under the direction of Weber. The entire length of wire may be computed at about 5000 feet Both ends of the wire are connected consisting of TO, that in Weber's labo- ratory of 50 coils of wire, each wound around a one pound magnet suspended according to method which have de vised. By simple which 1 have named commutator-1 can re verse the current instantaneously. Care fully operating my voltaic pile, l can cause so violent motion of the needle in the laboratory to take place that it strikes bell, the sound of which is audi ble in the adjoining room. This serves merely as an amusement. Our aim is to display the movements with the utmost accuracy. We have already made use of this apparatus for telegraphic expert luGulS, WulCA nave ItSulISu SuCSeSSl ully in the transmission of entire words and small phrases. This method of telegraph ing has the advantage of being quite in dependent of either daytime or weather; the one who gives the signal and the one who receives it remain in their rooms, with, if they desire it, the shutters drawn, The employment of sufficiently stout wires, feel convinced, would en- able us to telegraph with but single tap from Gottingen to Hanover, or from Hanover to Bremen. and the Electric Telegraph" in Popular Science Monthly
