The Governors Message.

The people of our State have
been waiting with the keenest curl
Osity TO see what theories of politi.
cal economy our new governor
would formulate; and now we have
the message which is heard and has
elected the highest enconiums from
all classes and even beyond the
borders Of our State. 1t is not a
reiterAtiOn of campaign boastings,
nor any lofty manifestos of what
will be accomplished, but u modest,
clear, fearless and practical state
ment of how the State expenses
from the biennial perio.l ending
August /, 1890, increased in the
last biennial period from S5G6, lS0
to S95 |, 76G. The message lets light
into the startling fact that while the
special appropriations of 1882 were
e-5,o0o. ~, III 1883 we're 81 2,330.25,
taking into account the payment of
previous appropriations. In every
particular Gov. Page has shown the
people just where they stand and
based his statements on figures.
But better than all lie has examined
every business department of the
State with the eye of a keen busl-
ness man, and the people never had
such practical view of their prop.
"rty, It's condition, and what ought
TO be done to and with it even to
details as now; or what can be dis,
penSed with, and what will pay to
be continued, and what condition it
n'be put into to yield the most
to the progress of the State.
On the whole it is the most busy,
stirring, thorough and enterprising
State document which has been
addressed to our people in many a
long day.

To build up q Town.

Among other methods of build.
ing up town the St. Johnsbury
Republican recommends these: The
citizens of every community should
strive to abandon petty jealousies,
selfish ambition, exclusive sets, uu-
charitable designs and silly gossip.
These all hinder the growth of the
place, dwarf its progress, chill its
enthusiasm and discourage its en-
terprise. And says the lIavre de
Grace Republican, the proper way
to run town is TO run it with a
vim. Those who differ on that
question should sell out and leave
it. Men who are always slow to
support home institutions do little
towards building upa town. Either
run a town for all it is worth or
quit the whole thing Slide out
and let nature take its course. If
you want business to come to your
town work for it, and encourage
others who are so doing. Bury all
jealousy and spite, work together
for common prosperity and mutual
benefit. Wake up, rub your eyes,
borrow no troubles, but make your
city the best in the land-a pro.
gressive and prosperous town.

and the more the popular attention
is directed to the workings of the

Protection and for the interests of

Superstition in Russia.

The most absurd superstitions are rife.in
Russia. At Serpookhov, near Moscow, an
official announcement was recently pla-
carded at the street corners. The common
people are upable to read. They requested
a man who looked like priest to decfpher
for them the contents of the bill. He 'un-
hesitatingly and positively declared that it
contained tt c warning that the city OF Seq
pookhov would beswall0wedin the ground.
In less than an hour the news spread
throughout the place, and the people aban-
doned their work and began streaming out
into the fields in large crowds. All the
factories were deserted by thelaborers. 1t
was some time before :he frightened crowds
were restored to reason and to their regu-
lar pursuits, but the originator of the
trouble could not be found. Paris Letter.

Mining in Chin.

The British consul general at Havana In
a recent report describes the results of the
late discoveries of mineral deposits in
Cuba. 1t was supposed that copper was
the only metal in the island, but in lsSoS1
iron was discovered in large quantities in
the mountains of the eastern provinces,
and this was followed by discoveries of
asphalt. manganese, gold and other
metals Since then" says Mr.. Grove, Il
have on several occasions endeavored to
call the attention of the British public to
the opening Cuba offers for mining enter
prise, but hitherto the field has been left to
the Americans, who during the last dec
ade have made some profitable ventures.
The Americans have made good be-
ginning-German consular reports have
already drawn attention to them-and it
would be matter of regret should En-
glishmen (who often travel far to make
doubtful investments) neglect good oppor-
tunities nearer home"

Tho profits" at Harvard.

An amusing bit of story comes from
Harvard, and is vouched for as genuine. A
western business man who had all his life
heard of the university, and now that he
had won money and leisure wished to see
it for himself, recently went to Cambridge
to visit it. He found one of the faculty who
was willing to show him about, and togeth-
er they did" the institution with consid-
cradle thoroughness.
The visitor was much interested in what
he saw, and asked a good many questions
about the number of students the terms
of admission, and especially about the ex-
penses. When he had seen all that there
was time to show him and all his other
questions had been answered he put the
query which from his air it was evident he
considered of great importance, and which
showed how impossible it was for him to
conceive of any great enterprise otherwise
than as scheme for making money
81 am greatly obliged to you, professor"
he said, ''and there's just one thing more
Pd like to ask you. Who gets the profits
of this concern?"-Book Buyer

and today the young lady has no difficulty
in doing anything she wishes. The fingers
are bent slightly, and are so strong that
they will grasp knife or fork nearly as
tightly as the human hand. Indeed no one
can tell that the girl has such hand. She
sews and crochets as well as her more fort
innate companions, and her hand is so per-
feet that it cannot be noticed by stranger

Cost of q Grcat House.

What does it cost to keep up great
house? Everybody knows that it is ex-
pensive, but not everybody was prepared
for the statements that were made in an
English court recently in the matter of the
Earl of Radnor and his pictures. 1t costs,
it appears, S65, 600 year to keep up Long
ford castle and it's dependencies. But
even that large sum seems inconsiderable
when compared with that of the great no
bleman who once told Lord Esher that his
household expenses alone were $1,000 a
week. In that case probably two or three
establishments were kept up, but even one
great country house will eat up an enor-
nous sum of money. 1t is not the eating
and drinking that does it, as the ingenu-
GUS Halter of bloated aristocrats might i'm
agine. Great numbers of servants have to
be kept, and the stables are costly, and the
keeping up of the gardens and grounds is
frightful source of expense.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
