The New Jersey contectloners have
formed State association to raise the
price of candy and to project retail
dealers from cutting prices. This is a
move in the right direction. 1t may,
indeed, be called health measure.
Mint sticks ought to be one dollar
apiece, and all other sorts Of candy ten
dollars an ounce. There would be
much less of it consumed then, and
people would be so much the better
for the abstinence that the doctors in
the land would either go hang them
selves or seek situations in railroad
building gangs.
To those interested it may be said
that the Census Enumerators will be
paid as follows For every living per-
son, two cents; for every death, two
cents for every firm 25 cents; for
every factory, 20 cents; for each vet
eran or veterans widow, cents; in
special cases an Enumeration may be
paid by the day, not to exceed So.
The cost of taking the census in 1880
was over $3,000,000 and the next one
is estimated to cost over $4,00O,000.
population estimated at fifteen million
larger than 1880. The work of enumer-
ating has to be done during the month
OF June next.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-A decis-
ion in regard to the sale and purchase
of goods on the installment plan, may
interest people in this section. An
agent sold woman sewing machine
for $50, be paid in monthly INSTALL
ments. After paying $3S the pay
ments ceased and the agent removed
the machine. The woman sued for lar
ceny. On presentation of the facts the
Court ruled that the machine was
leased until paid for and that the charge
of larceny could not be sustained.
The decision above cited makes the
law so clear that there should be no
more trouble on this score. If you
purchase an article on the installment
plan you must comply with your part
of the contract before you become the
legal owner of the article, and can be
taken away from you and the payments
forfeited if you refuse to complete your
agreement.
The scientific editor of the st. Louis
Republic directs the experimenter to
take polished metal surface of two
feet or more, with straight edge;
large hand saw will answer the pur-
pose. Take windy day for the ex-
pertinent, whether hot or cold, clear or
cloudy; only let it not be mucky rainy
weather. Hold your metallic surface
right angles to the direction of the
wind, e, if the wind is north hold
your surface east and west, but instead
of holding it vertical incline it about
forty-two degrees to the horizon, so that
the wind, striking, glances and flows
over the edge, as the water flows over
a dam. Now sight carefully along the
edge some minutes at a sharply defined
object and you will see the wind pour
ing over the edge in graceful curves.
Make your observations carefully and
you will hardly ever fail in the exper-
iment the results are even better ifthe
sun is obscured.
