A Vow Use for Old Pianos.

There came into my possession many
years age very old fashioned upright
piano. We found place for it in my
study, more for the beauty and quaintness
of the case-which was Of rosewood and of
the usual excellent workmanship-than
from any hope of deriving comfort from
any sweet music the yellow worries might
produce. 1t was cid, and its time and
power for discoursing sweet music were
past and gone; try as we would. by new
string here and another there, 1t refused TO
send out any but shrill and discordant
notes, and in despair we locked it up. And
so it might have stood for many years to
come, pleasant to look upon, but utterly
useless, had it not been that good many
books were scattered about the house and
demanded case
While trying to reconcile ourselves to
parting with the piano to make room for
the bookcase, the thought struck US,
Surely this would make a splendid book
case if its inside could be bodily taken out
without injury TO the frame" We sent
for a workman, who saw the possibility of
doing this for us at moderate sum, and
the result is that we have a beautiful piece
of furniture and bookcase combined. The
upper part, consisting of about two-thirds
OF the height, contains three shelves for
books and a writing desk-the former key
board-runniug the whole depth and width
of the piano, while the under third forms a
famous cupboard for manuscripts and
magazines. -Girls' Own Paper.

Air Strata Over Cities.

The popular idea that the higher one
gets in the city air the purer the stmos-
phere becomes, has been disproved by
evidence given before select committee
on house of commons ventilation In Lon
don. 1t is found that the air of cities
like London, where soft coal Is burned.
is purest at thirty or forty feet from the
ground Lower than that the dust is
encountered and higher the smoke from
the chiInneys.
These conclusions were arrived al
from experiments with frames of wood
covered with blanketing material put
at different elevations-oneo on top of the
clock tower at Westminster, another on
the highest point of the roof and others
at various heights down to the court
yard. After five hours exposure there
were found to be more smuts at high
elevations than at low, but on the level
of the courtyard there were considera-
BILE quantities of dust.
The inference from these experiments
is that the common notion that the high
est stories of the tallest blocks of fats
are desirable for their salubrity is apt to
be mistaken one, and that beyond forty
feet nothing is gained by going higher
unless a very great height-some say 400
or 500 feet-is reached. Cou-

Tho Home OF Peter Partey.

RTDGEFIELD, Conn, Jan. fS.-This his
toric town, lying up among the rocky
ridges of western Connecticut, well re,
wards a visit. 1t was settled over $50
years ago, and some of the original build
ings are still standing. These are set with
end to the street and are shingled on the
sides. The roof at the rear descends to
within few feet of the ground, giving the
houses an odd look There were stirring
times in the village on April %, III, when
the Tories and British under Tryon
reached the place on their retreat after
burning Danbury. General Benedict Ar
mold and 500 men attempted to stop their
march, and Il sharp skirInish took place.
Bullets and cannon balls went bowling
briskIy through the streets Some of the
balls are still to be seen imbedded in the
houses. Arnold was driven back after a
daring defense, dis horse having been shot
from under him.
On High ridge, west of the village,
stands the old home of peter Farley" a
publisher and author, whose name was
very familiar to the boys and girls of thirty
and forty years ago. Many will remember
with pleasure the attractive schoolbooks
and juvenile books bearing his name. He
led the way In opening new field of lit
erature for the young, and we all know to
what great proportions that literature has
swelled Samuel g. Goodrich, who adopt
ed the pen name of Peter Farley" had
many imitators, especially in London,
where numerous spurious books were
fathered on his popular name The book
pirate was not unknown in those days.
Goodrich was born in Ridgefield in 1873
in an old house that has long since disap
peared. His father and grandfather were
both Congregational ministers. The pres
ent Farley house is one his father built
four years later. It is plain wooden
dwelling, clapboarded, painted white and
with green blinds. 1t does not look to be
nearly century old. Beside it on the
ridge are number of SNOWY modern cot
tages, for this quaint old village is quite
summer resort OF late years. Ex-Governo,
Lounsbury and others have handsome resi-
dences here. There are many fine views t ,
be had from High ridge, one Of the best
being southwark over q twenty mile stretch
of Long Island sound.

blowing votes will show

But once in the seven years did the
Democrats have control of the Legisla-
ture. Of the 108 members of the Legis-
lature which has just adjourned seventy
nine were Republicans. This year the
Legislature is of greater Importance
than usual, because a successor to Sen
atOr Aldrich will be elected by it. 1t
will be seen from above votes that
Rhode Island is a very close State, and
because it is so both parties are making
unusual efforts to carry it. Indeed,
never before have SO many speakers of
national reputation been in Rhode
Island, and never has so thorough a IAN
vass been made. The Republicans are
more united and in better fighting con-
ditiOn than they ever have been, while
the Democratic leaders are not in full
accord. The Cleveland element is put
ting forth every effort to carry the State
as a basis for a demand for his nominal
ton. The Mckinley tariff has done a
great deal for Rhode Island in stimulat-
ing its wooden and wOrsted industries,
but the Democrats are telling them that
the free wool, which the Democrats pro-
pose to give manufacturers, will open to
them the markets of the world. Both
sides claim to be hopeful, but if the Re-
publicans carry the State by the smallest
plurality it will be a great victory, in
view of the great effort and the large
expenditure of money which Mr.. Cleve-
laud's friends are making. The election
takes place on Wednesday.

AN EX-PREsIDEErIAL CALAMITYITB

Referring to tho Mckinley bill, Mr..
Cleveland, in his speech at Providence,
Saturday night, said:
The consumer as found life harder since
this reform than %sefOre. and If there Is o
workingman any where who has had bis
wages increased 10y virtue of its operation
he has not yet made himself nov Plenty
of mills and factories have been closed.
thousands of men have thus lost employ
ment, and we daily hear of reduced wages,
but the benefits promised from this reform
and its advantage to the people who really
need relief are not apparent.
This statement contains several err
rOrs. express or implied. Out of respect
to an ex-President we do not say false
hoods, though the term would not be
misapplied to assertions SO wide of the
truth.
First, Mr.. Cleveland says "the con-
sumer has found life harder since this
reform than BEFORE" The implication
is that all consumer find life harder
since the passage of the Mckinley law
than before, and that the change is due
to that measure. In this country every
body is n consumer. and the assertion
that all find life harder now
than before the passage of the McKin-
ley law is equivalent to saying that
the entire population is worse off
and In sorer straits. This is
SO far from being the case that not even
respect for an ex-President can prevent
us from ~pronouncipg it wholly untrue.
Moreover. it is a libel on tho country
and the American people. 1t is quite
likely that among the 65. 0O0, 900 of peo-
pie who inhabit this country there are
some who. from one cause or another,
are not as we'll off now as they were two
years ago. and who find life harder now
than then, though we defy Mr.. Cleve-
land or anybody else 10 prove that the
worse condition of these people is owing,
either directly or indirectly, to the Nc
Kinley law. But the number of such
people is comparatively small. The
great mass of the American people are
more prosperous now than they were
two years ago. There has been a steady
Improvement of business in all lines
during the last two years. We do not
say it is altogether due to the
Mckinley law. but we say it
is a fact that business of all
kinds has improved during the last
two years. Every business man knows
this. The regular trade reports, the
columns of commercial and trade papers,
clearing house reports, bank deposits,
p~ostoffice business, interviews with
manufacturers and business men,
statistics of foreign and domestic trade,
reports of railroad traffic, and trust
worthy evidence of other kinds all 60
to show q steady and decided improve
mcnt of business during the last two
years. There is not q Democratic mer-
chant in this city. and We doubt if one
can be found anywhere, who will not
corroborate our statement In this re-
gard. IL Mr.. Cleveland dOcs not know
that business of all kinds is better
now than it was two years ago
he does not know enough about

POLITICAL NOTE AND COMMENT.

JOHN A. LOGAN, JR.. is a candidate for
delegate to the national Republican con-
vertion from Ohio.
SENATOR JOHN r. MCPHERSON. of New
Jersey, is enjoying o mild presidential
boom as o Democratic favOrite son.
IT may be true that the office is seeking
Mr.. Cleveland. but its search In that direc-
ton 10 lacking IN vigor.-Wa shingtOn Post.
THE Savannah News predicts that the
great majority of tho Democratic Alliance
men of Georgia will vote the Democratic
national ticket.
IT is believed that the four delegates at
large from New York State to the national
Republican convention will be ex-Senators
Plat and Miller. Senator Hiecock and
Chauncey NJ. Depew.
THE union printers in Pennsylvania are
opposing William NJ. SIngorly. of Phila-
delphia. for delegate to the Democratic ma
tional convention. because union men do
not work In his office in Philadelphia.
E~x-SPEAKER REED thinks there is little
doubt that Rhode Island will give a Re-
publican majority. Inc is also of opinion
that the outlook is good for Republican
success in the national election next fall.
Mr.. CHARLES W. WoOLLEY. a prominent
Democrat of Cincinnati. wants Senator

would sweep the country.

an attitude toward the ambition of Isaac
Pussy Gray precisely similar to that occu-
pied by Colonel Watterson toward Grover
Cleveland. and 80 the turmoil thickens.

POLITICAL interest is conferred on Rhode
Island this week. To show the figures
which speculation has to rest upon, the Re-
publican pluralities in Rhode Island in
presidential years are appended. In 1860
it was 1888: 1864, 1.524: 1868. 4.345: 1872. !. l55;

The New York Recorder. the Brooklyn
Standard Union. and other papers have
mounted q large "Grandfathers hat" at
tho top of their editorial columns, with the
legend underneath: For President. '93 to
'9I. Benjamin Harrison" The grand
fathers hat Is likely TO be . popula cam
paign emblem.
IT is generally conceded that a Demo-
cratic Aictory in Rhode Island next
Wednesday will aid ex-President Cleve-
lands fortunes. On the other hand. a Repub-
lican victory will mean that the Democracy
must depend on the old combination of the
South. New York. New jersey. Connecticut
and Indiana to elect its candidate.

THE CONTEST In RHODE ISLAND.

In late years Rhode Island has seen
considerable political contention from
one cause or another. Fol- years it had
a real-estate qualification for foreigners
and a poll tax prerequisite for all vot-
ers. This was for years the cause of
much contention, for the reason that all
equal suffrage propositions were de-
featcd by the people, three-fifths of
the votes polled being required to ratify
a proposed constitutional amendment.
Finally, in April, 1888, a proposition to
amend the Constitution so as to confer
suffrage upon all males who are citizens
of the United States and twenty-one
years of age, made by two Republican
legislatures, was adopted. This added
several thousand voters to the lists. In
April, 1886. to the general surprise, a
prOhibitOry amendment was adopted,
but so unpopular was it that IN June.
1889, the people set it aside by a de-
cided vote. the prohibitory vote in 1886
being 1918 and only 9,056 in 1889. These
two issues have kept the little State very
much stirred up in recent years, as the
Gil Ill
