Josiah B. Grinnell, who died at Marshaiitown.
Ia, = few days ago. was . native Of Vermont,
trained for the ministry, but. preferring farm
er's life, he early removed TO Iowa BY heredity,
impulse and training a radical, he entered with
enthusiasm into the Fremont campaign and was
elected to the state senate on characteristic
platform Of his own-"Free schools; no slavery;
limitations on whisky" He was the author of
the first address OF the Republican party to the
citizens of Iowa, and to that extent may be re-
sarded rs the founder of the party in what
afterwards became its banner state. He founded
atown and university that bore his name, but
the latter was afterwards merged into Iowa col
lego. He was an active promoter OF railroad
construction in that state, its most extensive
wool grower, largely engaged in breeding and
improving live stock, was builder on large
scale and prominent Id all local and state enter
prises. He was elected TO congress in ls62 and
1864, where he made creditable record. The
one great mistake of his life, which retired him
from politics thenceforth, was his enlistment as
Liberal Republican under the banner OF
Horace Greeley in ISL But in the light Of his
many benefactions and public services this may
now be forgiven him. He is entitled to high
rank among the empire builders Of the century.

The line of the heart rises at the
outer edge of the palm, and commonly
about an inch below the root of the
little finger 1t usually extends in a di-
rection nearly parallel to the upper
edge of the palm, but frequently slopes
upward or downward Sometimes it is
made up of capricious, jerky zig-zags
1t may terminate under any of the four
fingers, or it may run into the line of
the head. If the line is plain, single,
red and continuous, it prophesies strong
and wholesome domestic affection.
But if, as we expect to find in the
feminine hand, it is broad, pale and
spotty, and ornamented with little
trimmings and deviations it indicates
caprice and ilirtatious adventure.
If the line is made up of jerks it in
dicates extreme Inconsistency as well as
vanity and fiabby emotion. If the line
is broken under the little finger it indi-
Gates misfortune in love arising (the
misfortune) from the subjects fondness
for gayety; if broken under the third
finger, a love misfortune arising from
fondness for art or music or literature
under the second finger, from devotion
to religion; under the first, from pride
and ambition. d. Bidwell in New
York Ledger.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A New Sewer Pipe Constructor.

A sewer pipe machine is the latest
to claim public attention as Mime
apolis invention, and the owners of the
patents are confident that they will
revolutionize sewer pipe making by its
use, The invention is of good deal
OF Importance, as at present all of the
sewer pipe used il the country is made
by hand, and this method is so expen-
sive that it has been impossible to
make the pipe in sufficient quantities
to supply the demand. A great deal
of brick has been used in sewer con-
struction in consequence, BY the pres
ent method of hand manufacture, two
men can only get out fifteen lengths of
pipe day, while the new machine,
with two men to operate it, can make
100 lengths.
The pipe is made of a composition of
cement and sand. By the hand meth
cd fifteen pound tamp was used in
pounding the composition after it had
been placed in the mold. This made
very weak pipe, as the weight was not
sufficient to pack the material until it
became firm. In the machine a 300
pound hammer is used to force the
mixture into shape in one motion, and
this makes IA pipe that will stand a
weight of 75, 900 pounds without break
ing, and such weight is never placed
on it.-Ncw York Telegram

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
BY THE GOVERNOR.

bN HE Wv ENNoh.
The scenic attractions of Vermont are
recognized as among the finest in the
world. We lack the grandeur of the Yo-
semitic, and even some of our sister New
England States excel us in expanse OF
unbroken wilderness, but in her smiling
valleys, beautiful lakes and rugged mount
aims our little State has wealth of love-
illness which can be nowhere surpassed.
But nature courts the cooperation of man.
The garden left to itself changes to q
waste, but the waste under the united
care of man and nature blossoms into q
garden.
The scenes of beauty which nature has
SO prodigally spread about us may be
touched into more perfect loveliness by
the organized efforts of our people. Our
hillside and our valleys would be more
valuable by reason of the home market
created for us by the large numbers that
would annually make Vermont their sum-
mer home were we more enterprising in
adding to the natural attractiveness of
our State by surrounding our homes,
school houses and churches with shrubs
and shade trees, and. frlnging our road
sides with the rich verdure of the oak, the
elm and the maple.
Appreciating the fact that concerted
effort avails where want of union and or
ganization- fails, do hereby designate
Friday, the first day of May, A. D. 1891,
as Arbor day, and recowmend that the
good people of our State devote that day
to tree planting.
l urge that the day be kept as public
holiday by all the schools in the State and
that our teachers utilize their school or
CARNATIONS in beautifying the school
grounds and the public parks. Let every
scholar, with his own hand, plantone tree
which shall grow with his growth and
be the object of his special care and pro-
lection.
Given under my hand and the State seal
at Hyde Park this eighteenth day of
April, in the year of our Lord one
