THE TWINE MONOPOLY.


Perhaps there is no business combina-
ton more complete and oppressive than
that which controls the manufacture and
sale of twine. Little has been heard about
it in the East, but the farmers of the West
have grumbled until their grumbling has
been noticed. Senator Davis speech in
the Senate showed whas monopoly the
twine business has become. The entire
business of manufacturing twine, he said,
including the sources from which that
commodity is supplied, was governed by a
combination of all Tor substantially alD
the manufacturers of cordage and binding
twine. The combination controlled abso-
lutely the raw material (sisal, jute, etc. in
the places where it was grown, and also
limited the product of the manufactured
article and fixed its price. The combina-
ton consisted of forty-two manufacturing
companies in the United States and seven
or nine in Canada. These companies

builder of the road, controls a territory of
nearly or quite 100000 square miles, It
has half dozen stations-veritable out

the seacoast and the great inland sea.
Much of its grant is said to have an eleva-
ton of 5000 to 5000 feet. and to enjoy a
climate in which Englishmen can live and
thrive. This road is to be built in sec
tions-forty miles or SO at a time. The
distance from Mombassa, the eastern
coast terminus, to the Victoria Nyanza in
a straight line is less than five hundred
miles, but it will probably be found neces-
sary to make some considerable detours

The experiments in the cultivation of
plants under the electric light, recently
made by the botanical department of the
Cornell university, have given some curl
Gus and interesting results, and results
which are in some respects conirmatory
of somewhat similar experiments not long
ago reported from Russia. The first and
most noticeable effect of the treatment is
an enormously increased rate of growth.
The plants which are lighted seem to work
day and night and to ''run very much to

and peas in few weeks are two or three
times as tall as those planted at the same

fruit of any kind, however, the results are
entirely different and the plants which
had grown slowly and by daylight were
ahead. 1t was observed that in every in

CHEAPER POSTAGE,

Mr.. Henniker Heaton, prominent Eng
lishman, is in this country to advocate a
change that is needed. He wants cheaper
ocean postage. The enormous increase in
correspondence during the last ten years,
he claims, shows that cheaper postage
rates would prove a great benefit to COM
merce. He would have the postal regula-
tions of the British empire and those of
the United States so altered that letter
weighing half an ounce could be conveyed
from any place in the British empire to
any other place in it, or to the United
States for cents. ''Penny g cent? post
age," says Mr.. Heaton, ''exists at the pres
ent moment in the United Kingdom, in
Canada, in the United States, in the
Cape of Good Hope, in Natal, Africa,
and in part of Australia, and half
penny q cent? postage throughout India.
All that we require is that the links should
be completed by ocean penny postage be-
tween these countries I estimate the
initial cost to be only EGO, 900 year; not
an extra train or steamship would have to
be provided to carry out this reform, for
the requisite machinery is now in opera
tion." Mr.. Heaton goes on to reason that
the postage of letter from Nav York to
Alaska, 5000 miles, is two cents, it should
be possible to send one by sea from Liver
pool to New York, only 5000 miles, for

ROMAN DOLL.
The little mothers of to-day who lavish
wealth of tenderness and care upon
their beloved doll children, perhaps also
the needless ones who leave Angelina ex-
posed to sun and storm, or the attacks of
playful puppies and unappreciative boys,
may be interested to hear of the doll
which little Roman girl dearly loved GEN.
turies ago.
Last May, near Hadrian's Villa, in
Rome, thirty feet below the surface of the
earth, was found stone coffin containing
the linen wrapped skeleton of little girl,
which upon being exposed to the air
crumbled rapidly to dust. Fragments of
myrtle crown, the Roman symbol of
youth, We're about the head, and on the
fingers four rings, upon one of which was
engraved the name ''Philetus." Her jew
els had been buried with her, her pearl
earrings, and carved hairpins of amber,
her necklace and an amethyst breastpin,
cut like a cameo and set in filagree of
Etruscan gold; but why should her doll
have been placed by her side unless she
had counted it among her most precious
possessions!
The doll was made of oak with delicate
ly carved face, the hair waving low upon
the torehead ana pound ABOUT with nllet;
its joints moved in sockets, and even upon
the little hands and feet were cut tiny and
perfect nails. Its dress, probably the
counterpart of it's owners, had long before
fallen to dust. The little mothers may un-
derstand how very dear this Roman IDOL
ly" must have been, but only the older
mothers can know with what heart-break-
ing intensity of grief this toy was placed
in the little maiden's coffin before Chris;
came to gladden. the sorrowing with the
promise of resurrection and reunion.
The Roman mother mourned her child
as lost and sorrowed without hope, bui
now, however stricken, it is possible fol
the Christian to say: "God will not take
back all his gifts"
'Still mine! maternal rights serene
Not given to another!
The crystal bars shine faint between
The souls of child and mother"

Republican State Convention.
HYPERION THEATER, NEW HAVEN, sEPTEM-
BER 16.
The republican electors of the several towns OF
this state, and all other electors who believe In
the principles of the republican party as set forth
in the national platform of that party, are hereby
notified to send the usual number of delegates to
the republican state convention to be held in the
Hyperion theater, New Haven, on Tuesday, Sep
tember 16, 1890, at O'Clock pm, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for state officers.
In accordance with the rules adopted by the
republican state convention in 1885 the following
additional notices are given:
First-An primaries in the several towns for
the appointment of delegates to any convention
shall be held at least five days before the meeting
of said convention, upon at least two days notice,
but if any town committee shall fail to call pri-
maries under the provisions of this rule the mem
ber of the state committee for the district in
which such town committee resides shall call the
necessary primaries upon reasonable notice.
Second-It shall be the duty of the chairman OF
each town committee to send copy of the Gre
dentials of the delegates from his town to the
secretary of the republican state committee at
least four days before the convention.

PROMISED IN PARAsoLs.

It is surprising that some inventive gem
ius has not before this time utilized the
parasol handle as receptacle for small ar
ticles Of convenience. Women have never
had their just dues in the way of pockets,
in fact there has seemed to be a conspiracy
among the dress makers to deprive them
of even the one SO long an appurtenance of
the dress skirt, hence the multiplicity of
bags and reticules for the safe conveyance
of those effects without which no one likes
to walk abroad.
And now we are promised that the para
sol and umbrella handles of next season
shall be hollow, the ends being unscrewed
to disclose an opening in which may be
carried a fan, a hacon of salts, bon -bons or
even the owners small change or extra
hairpins.
Some sticks of natural wood have al
ready been followed and altar of roses in

seasons the wood, SO that the bearer is
proceeded and followed by wave of deli
cate perfume, but this idea is only one of
luxury or sentiment and lacks the element
of utility to be possessed by the parasol
handle of the future.
But if there be one inalienable right
upon which women ought to insist, accept
ing no compromise, it is the right to wear
good, strong, sensible, orthodox pockets.
Let them rise as one man to claim this
right, and let them pay no dressmakers
bill unless the pocket is found to be in its
place, properly made and sewed in to stay.
The most elaborate dress should have one,
deftly inserted as may be, but walking and
business suits must be provided with at
least three, then would the ingenuity which
expends itself in scooping out unneces-
sary caches in umbrella handles be turned
into other and more profitable channels Of
usefulness.

NJ. Bernhofer, an Austrian engineer, has

One of his experiments consisted in max

river sand, mixed with two litres of water,
in which one litre of crystallized soda has
been dissolved. The mortar withstood a
