Fine vInia. At N.wpor..


The large number Of very wealthy
men at Newport who have now been
ornamenting that city for twenty or
thirty years, and in measure been COM
peting with each other for style and
taste, has led to an especially finished
look about all the villas there. Their
foliage is superb. Some Of the lanes are
deeply shaded and have solitary look,
even at midday, and these are said to be
the resorts Of the English nurses and
French bonnes. The pine tree grows at
Newport in considerable perfection, and
other varieties of the fir. and the elm is
there seen in all its magnifcence, the
most spreading Of all trees, not excepting
the oak.
Three of the Vanderbilts, two of the
Astors and two Of the Goelets are
among the villa owners at Newport.
The house that William K. Vanderbilt
is now putting up (and he has been at
work upon it for more than three years.
Is made of great slabs of white marble
almost as pure as Italian marble, and
the walls and lodge are of the same ma
terial. There are lodges and even hen
houses at Newport which would be re-
markable ornaments in some ofour large
cities. Most Of the houses in the fash
ionable part of Newport are made of
stone mixed with wood, the gables fire.

travelling Juries.

The French government has created a
certain number of travelling juries hav-
ing duties of somewhat similar nature
as those of like functionaries established
under the first republic. In the organic
law Of the institut it was ordained that
the institut was to select yearly ten citi-
zens to travel abroad and collect in
formation useful to science, commerce
and agriculture. These scientific travel
ers will not be appointed by the Acade-
my of Sciences or the whole institut, but
by special administrative commission
on the basis Of competitive examina-
tion. Letter.

Gold in wyoming.

Wyoming is all excitement over the
late gold find at Lander and Cheyenne.
1t is like picking up twenty dollar gold
pieces. Latest reports say the rock is
very similar to that which caused the
great California excitement in 1s40; that
the vein lies close to the surface and
has been opened at several places for
$50 feet, and that some of the rock will
assay 100000 to the ton. Wyoming

An old Idea Exploded.

It will be remembered that when q
damosel, famed in poesy, asked permis-
sion to go out to swim it was granted
her, in the confidence that if she did not
go near the water she was certain not
to be drowned. In these days the peo-
pie of Colorado do not know when they
may awaken in the morning to find them
selves "disagreeable bodies," although
they live miles from stream. 1t is the
deadly cloud burst that does it.-Detroit

Told by Gentleman of Massachusett,

IOto Dy Gentleman OF massachusetts.
Mr.. Olds, gentleman from Massachu-
setts, now residing on the st. Lucie
river, tells remarkable story. While
clearing homestead on the east side of
the river by the seashore he went to
bathe in the surf, but on putting his feet
in the waves found the water icy cold;
he tried it again with the same result,
the water was just like ice; he then
walked along the beach and found
piles Of frozen fish. 1t is supposed that
a huge mountain of ice from the South
seas became dislodged and foated with
the current to this shore before the
warm waters of the gulf had time to
melt it. However, this is only specula-
tion, and to many it still remains mys-
tery.-Cor. Florida Times Union.

A Game Old Hen.

A game hen died On R. w. CANDLES
place at Cuthbert, Ga, a few days ago.
This hen had reached the age Of IA years,
lacking only few weeks. She continu-
ed to lay eggs until year before she
died. For several months she had been
totally blind, but was fed and watered
regularly by Miss Mary Gamble. In
1886, when Mr.. Gamble moved to Ma
con, this hen was carried there and
brought back when he returned to Cuth-
bert. In the spring of 1882, when the
cyclone struck Mr.. CANDLES place and
tore things up, this old hen was setting
in box on the kitchen hearth. The
kitchen was blown away, the chimney
was missing, but the hearth remained,
and there sat the old hen in her box, as
composed as though nothing had hap
pened. Chicago Herald.

In the history of railroading a most
difficult problem has been that Of stop
ping cars quickly when under high
speed. 1t is this problem chat now con-
fronts the electric car managers. It is
admitted by Electrician Pearson, OF the
West End company, that the cars can
not be suddenly stopped by the same
motor that propels them without danger
of serious injury to the driver and the
passengers, to say nothing Of the motor
itself.
The same problem for many years baf-
fled all inventive genius in steam rail-
reading. Finally the invention Of the
air brake seems to have solved it, at least
to the extent that train can be stopped
as rapidly in an emergency as passengers
can safely bear the shock. Am
In the nature Of the case the same
agent and the same machinery which
produce momentum are able to reduce
it with the same facility. The apphca-
tion of this fact has proved an approx
mate success on steam railways, but Mr..
Pearson, as reported, practically admits
that it will not always work without
danger in the case of the electric motor,
and that the motor men are enjoined
from applying it, except when, in their
Judgment, the emergency is supreme.
But although the cars are now pro-
PEELED electrically and stopped mechani-
cally the problem is bound to yield to
the boundless resources Of invention, and
the West End company is pursuing it
tirelessly. The feasibility Of vacuum
brake which can utilize the rotary mo-
tion of the car wheels is now a subject
Of experiment, and either this or some
other substitute for hand power in stop
ping the cars will yet be made success.

THE IRON SCHEDULE.

The Woughers and Catchors Place Their
Claims Before tho Convention.
P1rTsBuRG, Pa, June 1.-The Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers having completed the plate,
tank roller, pipe, iron and sheet jobbing
mill scales, took up the schedule of the
roughers and catchers.
The men affected by this schedule
want q ten per cent. advance in wages
over the present scale, and unless all
signs fail the matter will not be dis
posed of without some contention. The
rollers and heaters who pay the rough
ers and catchers a percentage on the
tonnage will resist any change at the
present apportionment, and lively
contest seems inevitable.
The roughers and catchers have sue
ceeded, after an effort of three years
duration, in getting their case
before the convention. They expect
some assistance from the puddlers'
delegates, but the evidences are that
the puddlers side largely with the
rollers and heaters, and the proba-
bilities are that when the scale is
arranged it will not differ materially
from last years schedule.

In the June number of the New Eng
land Magazine Frederick Hathaway
Chase sets forth some facts which show
that agriculture in this part of the world
not in such state of decay as some
would have us believe. Mr. Chase begins
by showing the number of acres under
cultivation in New England at periods
of five years, from 1870 to 1898, and in
every state there is "a large increase.
Taking the states separately, the aggre-
gate increase during that period for each
year was as follows: Maine, 1887
acres; New Hampshire, 139, 900 acres;
Vermont, 5S,271 acres; Massachusetts,
zoe, 99s acres; Rhode Island, 81 $50 acres;
Connecticut, 279,31S acres. He then
goes on to consider the changed con-
ditions under which agriculture is now
conducted and the need Of new methods
in order to conform to the demands
of the new situation. He remarks upon
the advantages enjoyed by the New
England farmer when he conforms to
the requirements of the times, and he
also shows how the proximity of the
market favors him. Speaking of the
changes which are constantly taking
place, some phases of which have been
seized upon as evidence of the decline,
he says: In every part of New England
the change, where not already wrought,
is rapidly going on. The old style far
mer, who devoted his attention solely to
grain raising, is almost wholly sup
planted by one who grows miscella-
neous harvest and who by careful at
tention and rotation of crops reaps the
fullest advantage from his land. AS
our manufactures increase, building up
mills of cities and shops, and filling them
with busy workmen, our farming class
will also grow in numbers, and the acres
under their control will swell in extent

to have the question settled at once.
He invited Miss Sawyer to take q walk,

out:

mo, I'm not! Indeed I'm not! My
heart has been aglow with love for you
over since l hrst saw you," replied Majoy
Edwards, exoitedly.
81 am aware that it is generally taken
for granted that the heart Is the seat OF
emotion, but know that the functions
of the heart are purely mechanical and
muscular"
But Miss Jennie, l.
"All that the heart does is to pump

more TO do with the emotions than the
heart"
But can't we'll say that love you

there are affections OF the liver" said

and casting despairing glance at the

again:

CENSUS enumerators in Pennsylvania
have discovered that thousands of

They are known industriously only by
numbers. 1t is inconceivable that such
condition Of things should long be per-
mitted to exist in this country. The
Pennsylvania laborers may be poor,
ignorant and unfortunate, but are free
workingmen. The practice of destroy
ing their Municipalities under the con
vict system of numbering deserves the
severest condemnation. The slavery
system of work in Pennsylvania needs
looking after.
