TOBACCO IN THE SENATE Almost every member of the United States senate uses tobacco in some shape or other. Some of the older senators still cling to the fashion of taking snuff, and the snuff box used by senators for years still has it's place be tween the columns on the walls of. the sen ate on either side of the presidents chair. These boxes are not elaborate affairs, and would be taken for common, ordinary boxes by the uninitiated but the senators who use snuff know them, and frequently visitors in the gallery notice 8 senator go toward one of the little snuff receptacles, take pinch and go away feeling happy. The senators who smoke go into the cloak rooms to puff their cigars, but Senator Daniel, of Virginia, is often seen in his seat on the senate floor with cigar in his mouth. He always takes 8 dry smoke, and it is said by bis friends that he has not lighted cigar since the war. The reason for this is that one day he was standing with his, brother on fhe battlefield, and was in the act of lighting his cigar, when a bullet struck his brother and killed him. The shook was SO great that the senator has never lighted cigar since that ter. rible day.

A SERIOUS REFLECTION.

The following paragraph has been given a wide circulation
 Of the 1,060 men in the Eastern Peni tent1ary of Pennsylvania, only nineteen were bred mechanlcs, fact which shows that men who were trained to work se,d m become criminals.
 There is no question but that not only mechanical employment, but all kinds uf labor, manual or mental, lessen not only crime, but sickness as well. And yet lhe irunclad regulations of must of the laboi unions render 1t almost impossible for u young man to secure employment as all apprentice to trade With view ot Keeping up the price of labor by prevent ing too many learning the various me chanical industries, many worthy lads are allowed to grow up in ldleness, or seek em- ployment for which they have no taste, and hence no hope of succeeding. Yet skilled labor IS constantly coming into the country from foreign c untries and filling positions that our own children, if better opportunity for acquiring knowledge ot these industries had been afforded, would have filled quite as we'll.
 Because of this organized effort to pre- vent entrance to the various trades through apprenticeship, we are strongly in favor
  schools where the best facilities and op portunlties for thorough practical training can be had. We believe one of the great est dangers to society, and one affecting the economic life of our country must se- riously, is the great tendency of young men to crowd into the professions rather than the industrial occupations. We be- lieve it would be infinitely better to educate the hand, as we'll as the head, and most young men and women would be better off in after life, physically as we'll as men, tally, with thorough knowledge of some trade. t' | At these industrial schools not only architecture and civil and mechanical ell. gineering should be taught, bat carpenter ing, brick and stone masonry, moulding, clustering, cooking, and all branches of housework, together with agriculture, hor. ticure, etc. The head and the hand could be educated contemporaneously, the course of study being adapted to the particula, mechanical operation to be followed. Such g course would not interfere with thor orough, high grade. classical course fol those entering professions.
 We are we'll aware that theoretically perhaps practically, such an industrial course is designed for our agricultura schools, and that but comparatively few avail themselves of 1t. Such a course ii not popular. Our object in writing this article is, if possible, to help what we car to popularize such industrial studies. W. were brought up" in foundry, and early taught to ssram sand" We would not now if we could. part with onr practical knowl edge of that industry for great deal. w, believe we are wiser, stronger, and bette for it.

The following extract is taken from a letter received from MT.

After the knife had been used there was still cancer ous taint left in his blood, the wound never heali g. finally persuaded him to try s. s. s., and it alone eradicated the cancer, and he recovered perfect health.

Rockville Journal: It is an open SC cret that the tramps consider Holland jai a comfortable lodging place during the winter months. They have warm quarters nothing to do in the line of labor, and kill time smoking, reading and story telling They may have occupation furnishedin the near future. It is understood that Holland citizens or town officials have of fered to deliver stone at the jail, upol which the inmates may exercise their mus cle in reducing it to 8 pulverlzed cond, ton, to be carted thence to the town roads This offer is conditioned on the commls sioners furnishing yard. True, the count, would receive no cash return for the out lay, but they would ct saving to the county in having fewer of the vaeabonG fraternity to board in idleness.

The correspondent of the Hartford Times says: ''It is quite probable that Rockville will become famous as the s'So ciety City" a very appropriate name, which has been suggested. It is impossible to state the total number of societies in the city, as they are constantly increasing at the rate of one or more week.

-Rev. .. IN. Nichols, Of MOntvllle, has accepted unanimous call from the Bap- tist church at Andover to become it's pas tor, and will soon commence his labors.
 The first post office between Boston and Hartford is now in use at Pomfret. It has been acknowledged by some of the most aged citizens that the oldest piece of woodwork that is in use at the present day is the first post office boxes that Pomfret had, used as a desk in Benjamin Gros- venor's office. It is somewhat over hun dred years old, and served as post office for about 40 years. Lemuel Grosvenor was the postmaster appointed between Boston and Hartford, and for some time was the only one. He was appointed by General Washington in the beginning of his administration and held his office until Van Buren was elected, when he resigned hls position on account of his age. He was brother of Rev. o. P. Grosvenor's 5 grandfather. He lived and kept the office at the place now owned by Thomas Vii. Hams. It was bought at auction and has remained in the Mathewson family until two years ago, when Benjamin Grosvenor became the owner. The dimensions of it are four feet three inches high, four feet long. It has two parts at the top and five drawers in the bottom. It embraced the towns of Pomfret, Woodstock, Brooklyn, Thompson, Klllingly, Ashford, Hampton and Canterbury. Those names are written on each box, in MT. Grosvenor's own handwriting, aud can be distinctly read. MT. Benjamin Grosvenor is also the owner of old tavern sign which has history farther back than the post office. The sign bears the name of Cable Grosvenor. TN zG L

AUGU,T's RECORD.

During the past month The CALL has
published more advertisements than during
any previous month in its history. Sundays
CALL closed the month with more advertise
ments, with display and want ads, than it
ever before published, and with more than
any other city paper ever published. 1t
contained total of 1877 inches of advertise
ments. an excess Of 800 inches, or eleven
columns over its nearest competitor. 1t pub
lished 1885 want ads, exceeding its best pre-
vious records. A comparison with the first
Sunday of the month shows a very decided
gain, that issue containing 9S6 inches and
1928 want ads. The total number of want
ads published during the month was 81 1853.
making a daily average for the month Of
1915. The daily average for the last week Of
the month was 1886, the highest of the
month, which would indicate that the limit
is not yet reached.
People are finding out more and more that
it is almost useless to advertise their wants
in any other paper, and that The CALL
alone insures results to want ads There
can be no other explanation of the remark
able increase and its long lead over its con-
temporaries. On the other hand the mer-
chants and other advertisers realize more
than ever the character and extent of The
CALLS circulation. They realize this fact
from the results derived from their adver-
tisementS
1t is self-evident that when paper pub
fishes the most advertisements, both display
and wants, it is recognized us the best ad-
vertising medium. The advertisers decide
this question for themselves.
They decide in favor of THE CALL.

THE sENAToRsHIP.

The Stockton Mail is inclined to turn
sharp corner with curve. Speaking OF the
suggestion of THE CALL that aspirants for
the United States SenatOrship should be Sc
lected from men who have been before the
people for some elective Office, the MAJ
reasons as follows:
If man has held the position of township
constable he is eligible to the high Office OF
United States Senator; II, however, he has not
held The Office of constable or some other office,
lie may not be Senator.
If our Stockton friend had not, possibly
without due reflection. taken the negative
side of THE CALLS proposition he would
realize that the holding of a subordi-
nate elective office is not the essential point,
but the opportunity candidacy for that
office would afford the electors to express
their opinion of the candidate. Becoming a
township constable does not qualify man
to fill the high Office of Senator, but the
submission of mans name for an elective
office tests the standing of the man in the
community in which he lives. Tie remark
is often made that Legislatures elect men to
the United States Senate who could not be
elected to fill the office of township con-
stable. Is there anything unreasonable, not
to say absurd, in the requirement that as
pirants for the Senatorship should first test
their standing in the community by becom-
ing candidate for an elective Office. The
CALL certainly does not believe that Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay or John c. Calhoun
would have been greater statesmen II they
had held a county shrieyalty. But all these
men were in public life before they became
Senators They did not jump from a
money-making career into the Senate.
They had submitted their names to the
people among whom they lived for minor
Offices ana had been approved. Their
rise to the Senate was legitimate. Our con-
temporary adds:
Pure pOlltics-the day when money shall no
more buy its owner disgraced seat In the
Federal Senate, when knaves aud scOundrels
will never control party cOnveniiOns-will come
when The sovereign people Insist that none but
good aud able men shall represent them in any
capacity, from the bottom TO the top OF the po-
Iitical ladder. and never before that time.
The Mail and THE CALL are travelling in
the same direction but by slightly different
routes. To afford the sovereign people an
opportunity to say that none but good and
able men shall represent them in any Ca
pacity The CALL suggested that the only
legislative office in the gift Of the LegiS-
lature should be filed by men whose char
acters the sovereign people thoroughly un-

respond when the call comes from the quar-
ter which has the keeping of the whole in
charge. In California the national and State
sentiment grew into life together. Up to
about 1860 there was little State pride. The
bulk of the population of the State regarded
their residence on this Coast as temporary
Money-making was the absorbing passion
of the period. The war came and called
into life the dormant sentiment of patriot
ism. In day people realized that there
was something in life beside the accumula-
ton of money. About the same time the
grand possibilities of the State became ap-
parent to the more appreciatiye eyes. we
began to think that California was State
to live in and to die in. The development
of the State has intensified this feeling.
Californians are now proud of their State,
and proud of it as the one of the American
family of States which combines the most
favorable conditions of life. But this State
pride is only subordinate element in the
broader national sentiment which holds all
Californians in answering loyalty to the
American union.
