HOW IT WORKS.

ssDo you know what those three hun dred millions of Euglsn money coming into the United States to buy mills, fur naces and breweries means ?" asked Eli Perkins of the Bee man.
 "No; what does it mean ?"
 ssIt means that it is the last dying seqneal of the free traders. Failing to ge' free trade in this country the English are bringing their mannfactories here. The Coates thread people have abandoned theil bread mills in Scotland and set 6, ,O00 men at work making the thread in New Jersey.
 "The other day." continued Eli, "I met the English syndicate which has just bought the potteries in Trenton and Eas, Liverpool. -aF
 "What are you buying our potteries for ?" asked. <<
 ''We are buying them because we are sick of paying your 60 per cent. Yankee .arltf. We are going to get even with you Yankees by bringing our manufactories 'ver here or by buying your manufactur ITS out"
 "That is, you are going to emigrate and make iron and flour and cloth and pottery instead of making them in England ano sending them here ?''
 ''Yes that's It.
 "But suppose we get free trade here ?"
 "Why, then we'll go back again and sci our cheap labor to work and ship the man ufactured articles here as we used to-"
 'This settled my belief on the tariff question" said Eli. ''I'm for keeping { nigh tariff till England sprinkles manufac tories in every town and hamlet in Amer lca. am !'-OnsahG Bee.

AN OLD HARTFORD FIRE ENGINE-A RELIC
 OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THIS CITY IN
 THE FIFT1Es BUILT BY MIR. A.w. ROBERTS
 In corner of Perklns's scrap iron shop on Charter Ook street is all old hand fire engine that has an interesting local his- tory. It was made by MT. A. w. Roberts of this city in the year 1851, and was sold to the city of Hartford and placed in the engine house on Church street, where Marks Brothers store now is. The engine was christened sAnnihilator," and the company called ''Annihllator, No. D." The engine was of the ''piano" variety and took the place of the double decker, "Old Deluge," which was broken up. "Old Deluge" was bought in 1918 and was con- sidered powerful engine in those times. It took forty men to work 1t and had a high box in the center. The Annihilator was built on the Waterman plan, quite low, not over four feet in all, box shaped, with low geared wheels. From faucied resemblance to square piano 1t was $I 1885 for the machine, and it was we'll worth it. The bottom was made of ma. hogany, the box of choice rosewood and every screw was put in deep and the holes inlaid with pearl. The hubs of the wheels were tipped with brass, always kept well polished. It was handsome affair and the boys were always proud of it. It serv, ed them faithfully for twelve years, dur ing which time the company was always prosperous. The first foreman who pre- sided over the Annihilator was John H. | Brace with s. A. Butler as assistant. A. W. Roberts, the maker of the engine, and to whom The Post is indebted for facts, was the next foreman, serving one year. Then came Emmons Rudge, Joseph Lee. ser, Robert Calhoun, James Waters, Charles w. Stewart, now on the police force, c. o. Hall and John Cunningham. About the time of Cunningham's term as foreman in 1863, the engine was sold to Stafford Springs and steam engine bought. A year later the whole local department was re-organized, and No. changed to No. and located in Ann street, the present home of the company.
 In Stafford Springs the machine has been used until recently when new steam fire engine was purchased, and the old Annihilator was deemed worth only hel weight in iron. Under the treatment oi Stafford people the engine has deteriorated somewhat ,but still can throw agood stream as number of old fremen found out the other day, when they went down and made trial. While at Stafford the engine was caught in flood and carried quite dis tance and covered with mass of debris
 When 1t was repaired, instead of repol ishing the mahogany and rosewood, coa or two of gaudy red paint was applied anc the pearl ornaments confscated and bras. nail heads substituted. An effort has beer made by some of the old firemen to buy i back, but as yet it has proved unsuecess ful.
 l The engine is worked by twenty -fou, men. The supply nozzle was in the back from which the water was pumped into cylinder and then through pipe to thu front of the machine where the hose wal fastened. It has record of throwing stream to the top of the South Congrega tional church

The absorption of the Housatonic road by the Consolidated would rob Connecticut's po- litical campaigns of their principal ''is- sue, and depriving the legislature of its most potent source of fun, excitement and financial profit, it would restrict the func. tions of that august deliberative body to the enactment of chicken trespass laws and the passage of resolutions of mutual admiration. .-NoraOok Gazette.

J. H. Hale in Hartford Courant: Farm CTS and packers who have good sound red apples in cold storage, are notified that such fruit was selling at $4 in Baltimore and Washington last week. "What are the peach prospects in Delaware ?" The northern part of the state is badly infested with the yellows, and thousands of trees will die the coming season, for as yet they have done nothing to hold the disease in check. Some growers are going south in- to Maryland and planting out new orchards in sections below s'the yellow line :" but as it is largely caused by the lack of the right care down there, the yellow line is sure to move south very fast As to the present seasons crop, buds on all trees are almost bursting into bloom, and here and there in almost every orchard were seen trees all pink with bloom. In fact, on most trees the buds were so far advanced as to show pink. In several orchards we found what we thought were dormant buds, but on cutting them open they were all found to be dead, so that the only live buds there are, are those that are all most out in bloom, and hard freeze would kill them. Many of the growers believe they will pull through, but the more thoughtful ones say it is not possi. ble but that they will have some cold weather within the next six weeks. In the mountains of Maryland and the high
 lands of central and northern New Jersey. buds, although badly swollen are not near so far advanced, while here in Connecticut there has been little change since Christ mas. Every bud is alive yet, and if we do not have any very warm weather to swell them more the mercury will have to % down very near to zero to kill them all tOne thng consumers may be sure of, ii

 A bird overbold,
 So have been told, Once flew from the sunny southland To bleak n rthern cline, Just in mid-winter time Why so foolish can't understand. There was snow, there was rain, And the birdie was fain To find shelter from all the rough storm So it perched on the sill, And pecked with it's bill At window whose inside looked warm. Kind hands raised the sash, And quick as a fash The chill birdie was taken inside; But the care was too late; What sorrowful fate Before night little straw-away died. On that very same day (Thus the story did say), And into the very same place, Right out from the skies, Heavens light in her eyes, Came wee, sweet girlie's face. Just as the poor bird Fluttered feebl>, and stirred With it's last unequal strife,
 Did the dear baby. lips
 Draw the first, tiny sips Of the nectar we call Life.

 To the place she left lone, And by our dear Fathers grace (So the Saviour did say Of the children one day), As her angel, doth now see his face. 'We will call her word Only borne by the bird, And never by baby, ween"- And 10 it came to pass

(Hartford Times.) DON'T LIBEL DAKOTA,

The "Canton Advocate" is @ pink col ored journal, printed in Canton, not in China, but in South Dakota. Its sanguine hue is probably due to the irrepressible and apoplectic fit of rage into which it has been thrown by Chicago paragraph an- nouncing begging committee from South Dakota, and editorially adding that the people out in Dakota in a dozen counties duly (but not, it seems, in every case cor rectly) mentioned, are really suffering actually freezing and starving to death. Such paragraphs, says the lurid "Advo- cate, " are started by "the eastern press" to hurt Dakota-to stop people from leav- ing the east and going to the west. They Care lies of the most malicious and con- temptible character, sent out for the ex- press purpose of retarding immigration, and of bringing into disrepute the fairest and most fertile portion of Uncle Sam's domain" And again "They are lies of the vilest sort, and they can be published but for one purpose, viz, to inlure South Dakota"
 Yet once more to the breach, and thus we get it
 But after all that has been said and done to jure our state, the fact remains that South Dakota is one of the gRndest, richest and best states in the union the fact remains that she can hold out inducements to immi- grafton such as no other state can offer, and this is probably one of the chief reasons for the dastardly war the eastern press is waging upon her. South Dakota asks no aims of Illinois or any other state in the union. South Dakota is superior to Illinois in nearly every important particular
 Then it is shown that the starving coun- ties named, actually produced, last year, Oves seven million bushels of wheat three million bushels of oats, and correspond ing yield of potatoes and the editor goes on to declare that, even if there were any truth in the Chicago journals paragraph but there isn't-even were it true that the South Dakotans were freezing and starv- Ing, that fine young state is abundantly able to take care of all such sufferers, without asking or accepting outside help. The "Advocate" sits down heavily on the begging committee as fraud but doesn't quite explain how the "eastern press" (which includes Chicago) should be de- ceived by the aforesaid lying committee from Dakota, and yet maliciously invent, of its own motion, the stories of freezing and starving. The Times may have inno- gently published one or more of the many western telegrams about Dakota blizzards, starvation and freezing; butitdidn't endorse them ; and now, crushed as a moth before the consuming wrath of "The Advocate, :" | it begs hastily to say. that there never was blizzard or any cold weather in Dakota, and that in fact the Dakotans are waxing fat and kicking just rioting, as it were, in a flow of milk and honey and wine and oil, and flaming themselves in the bland February gales of spring. Dakota is great and The Advocate is its profit.

High Water.

For the past ten days the Hum
boldt river has risen very rapidly, at
the rate of about three inches every
twenty-four hours. The rains during
the past week are the cause of the
steady raise. AS there is a great deal
of snow yet in the mountains it is
expected that it will be much higher
by the first of June. So far no dam
age has been done here except to a
portion of the rock dam across the
slough, just above the iron bridge.
Should the river raise a foot and a
half higher than it now is it will un-
doubtedly carry out the lower bridge,
which is now only short distance
above the water.
Parties in from the North Fork say
that that stream is higher than ever
known before, and that the county
bridge, which was built about three
years ago, is almost sure to be washed
away. We are informed that the
water is touching the bridge, and, if
so, it will only take slight raise to
carry 1T off.
At Carlin the water has overfiowed
the fiat on the south side of the new
iron bridge and washed the roadbed
away, thereby rendering the road i'm
passible, though the bridge is in no
danger. Geo. Mcintosh and force
of men are at work turning the water
bac k into the channel. A young son
OF JOS. Ennor came near being
drowned there last week. He was
driving some horses across the over
flowed portion Of the road, when his
horse got into deep water and not be-
ing able to swim, he was in danger of
losing his life, but fortunately a wire
fence was near at hand which he
caught hold of before being swept in
to the swift current.
At Palisade the bridge which spans
the Humboldt is in immediate danger
OF being carried of. 1t is reported
that the water has nearly washed
away the abutments, and that the
bridge is liable to go aHany moment.
