PERFECTION OF TIE DYNAMO.

Mr.. A. B. Blackburn, of the Man
chester Association of Engineers,
concludes that the dynamo has been
brought to such perfection in the
last few years that little radical
change can be expected in its gener-
al proportions and design. Its eff
iciency is already SO high that in
crease is scarcely possible, being
rarely less than so per cent, and in
the best machines over 80, and even
as high as 95, per cent. 1t is prob
able that future improvements viii
be chiefly in details of construction,
labor-saving in production, and per
haps new and less perishable insult
ing materials; the most important
problem yet to be solved being the
abolition of the variable sparkling
point.

Tax Bill Opposition.

The State Gazette electrified thepub-
lie three weeks ago by enthusiastically
taking up the cudgels for the Commits
sion Tax Bill which was almost unani-
mously condemned by every other
voice in the State. The Gazette
thought the bill was admirable. No
body, it said, opposed the bill except
the tax shirkers. The only reason the
bin would not pass, it declared, was
because it was in advance of the pub
lie opinion of the State.
Well the bill died in spite OF the
Gazette, and a new one was intro
duced. Everything in this new one
was in the old. The difference is that
much that was in the old one is left
out of this; this does not go anything
like the length that the old went.
1t is not a little bewildering there
fore to see the Gazette fighting the
new bill as strenuously as it advo-
Gated the old one. Here are some of
the things it says
The substit ute for the Tax law now before
the Legislature demands the most careful
scrutiny before IL becomes law. While not SO
radical as the one abandoned by reason of uni
versal condemnation, still it is In violation OF
the most fundamental principles that have
governed taxation 10 this State. 1t Is thoroughly
nndemocratic-
In other words, the State Gazette
advocated the other bill because the
Democratic party was bound to beat
it. 1t opposes this because the
Democracy will probably pass it.
The public interests do not count.
The Gazette is bound to fight the
Democracy under any and all eircum-
stances.

The Golden Rose.

A great deal Is being said in the
papers of the Pope's Golden Rose. 1t
has not been presented for two or
three years. The last person who re-
ceived it was the Queen Regent of
Spain. Three or four years ago it
was presented to Miss Caldwell, of
Philadelphia (who has since married
a French nobleman), in recognition of
her having founded q Roman Catholic
University in Washington. The
Golden Rose is we'll worth having, IL
only as a work of art. 1t is made by
a firm of jewellers in Rome who have
had the privilege of making it for
many generations.
lit has several flowers, a thorny
branch and leaves, the n principal
flower at the top being of pure gold.
The practice of presenting it seems to
have arisen in the thirteenth century,
but it is not known which Pope instr
tuted it. Henry VIII. received the
rose from three Popes. 1t was also
sent to his daughter, Queen Mary, by
Julius III. The last English sover-
eign to receive it was Mary OF Modena,
wife of James H., to whom it was pre-
sented when she was in exile in France.
Napoleon III. and Queen Isabella III.
of Spain also received this recognition
of Papal Overwhelming Wisconsin.

What offensive falsehood this is.
1t is insulting to the common sense of
the Journals readers. The bill was
endorsed by the Board of Trade, the
Board of Aldermen. the Street and
Water Board, the Sixth District Citi-
zens' Association, the Third District
Citizens Association, and, we believe,
by n or two other popular bodies.
What does the Journal mean by say

The evil habit of going too long
without food is one from which many
people suffer in the present hurrying
age. Men sit in their offices, women
rush about at their shopping, and
botn become so absorbed in their in
terests that the period of hunger is
allowed to pass and that of fatigue
and depression to set in. The worst
of it is that, once the second stage is
reached. the desire for food is gone;
and after many hours abstinence the
or woman is too exhausted to
digest a meal.
To avoid this extreme it is only
necessary to take the most light and
rapid repast during the hungry stage.
A glass of milk or merely a biscuit
while hungry will prevent the after
loss OF appetite. And Yet many pre-
fer TO ruin their health rather than
take the trouble to turn into a dairy

The New England Maidens of To-day.
Artists who make our pictures and
authors who write our romances have
drawn some very charming sketches
of the Puritan maiden in gray gown,
cap and kerchief who dourished and
beautiied her country a good 200
years ago, She was a very admirable,
pretty, coquettish and long suffering
person, no doubt, this maid of old:
but though the modern New England
girl seens a ridiculously commonplace
figure beside lei now, one wonders
much If a future generation may not
be melted, by a recollection of her
manifold good works and modest vir-
tues, to overlook her exceeding mod
ernneSs and take measures to conf
memorate her face and name.
They are such a strong hearted
race of women, such tremendously in
diligently and helpful workers, for
the worlds and their own good" was
the criticism made by a clever South
ern woman, who rarely over-estimates
the force and value of the people she
meets. She had spent a winter in
Boston and the country towns, and
had met ~nuinberless young girls, a
little grave faced for their years, a
trifle nunlike of nature, perhaps, and
lacking much of the healthy careless
ness OF youth.
But in place of the gayety and de-
monstrativeness of manner character
istIc of American women the United
States over, she discovered in them
the material that went TO fashion the
great women whom the New England
States have produced. They are not
all ineipient geniuses by any manner
OF means, 10 will many cause even a
ripple on the surface of other lives,
but they grow out of childhood into a
very serious girlhood, and their first
impulse is to learn, their first yearn-
ings is for a college education and a
life widened by knowledge.
They are the rome who, knowing
a want, found the strength to struggle
for its satisfaction. They overcame
all manner of p~rejudices, and now the
fruits are beautiful to behold.
Something in their bitter northern
air fills them with strange energy,
and it is common enough to find the
i~mpecunious or the wealthy graduate
of a college early turning her hand
and brain to a profession or following
an art. Then, if there is no need for
the first or taste for the second, char
ity gathers them into her great army.
