Origin Of the Gerrymander.

Elbridge Gerry, made an Extensively
partisan redistricting of Massachusetts
about eighty years ago when governor Of
that state. One of Gerry's foes said one
of the districts, as shown on the map Of
the state, looked in it's new form like a
salamander, and another remarked that
it looked more like "Gerrymander.'
The name stuck and it has been applied
to this sort of partisan rascallity ever
since. Gerry was an anti-feder alist lie
was follower Of Jefferson, the founde,
of the democratic party.

might well be adopted in Aberdeen with

Morse, 1888. approximately
Feb. 12.-Biithday Of Lincoln.

MORE EFFICIENT SERVICE.
New Milk Delivery Trains Through Sc
eral New York Counties.

New Milk Delivery Trains Through Sew
eral New York Counties.
New YORK, Jan. 19.-On April /,
1892, the New York, Ontario and West
ern Railway Company will establish a
complete milk train service. This has
been rendered necessary in order to prop
erly take care of and develop the new
territory opened up north of Norwich,
and to render more efficient the service
from the old section south, covering
Orange, Sullivan and Delaware counties.
The rates of freight from the region mort
of Norwich will be the same as south;
that is, 80 cents per can of for quarts OH
milk and 40 cents per can of forty quarts
on cream.
The milk train service over the entire
district, both main line and branches,
will be as shown on the timetable issued
by the road.
Refrigerator milk cars will be run from
all stations and the service will be per-
formed by the milk train crew. The re
are iced by the company in summer and
warmed in winter.
The Company will, if desired, erect and
rent, at nominal figure, creameries at
favorable points along it's line to respon~
sible parties who will agree to run and
ship milk and cream from the same.
Farmers having milk they desire to
ship, will be furnished with marks on ap-
plication.
1t will be seen on the new time table
that the milk train starts later and that
the empty cans are returned earlier than
ever before.

USE BOTH HANDS.
The Left May Be Made as Dextroustas IL,

The Left May Be Made as Dextroustas the
Right.
The good physician says that the
child should be taught to use both
hands with equal dexterity. One;never
knows how much a thumb is worth till
he sprains it; more particularly the
thumb of the right hand. But he will
then come into the full appreciation of
the phrase: "Always on hand, like a
sore thumb" And he will find, too.
through its disability, that that piece of
anatomy is an Important factor in
about everything he undertakes to do.
Indeed, man can live without cooks
more comfortably than he can live
without thumbs.
What the thumb is to the hand, so is
the hand to the remainder of the body:
and thus it becomes prime essential
that the doctors advice be followed,
and the boy trained in his earliest youth
to use both hands with equal facility.
Nor Is the matter one of special diff.
Guilty. The infant is not born right or
left-handed, as generally supposed. His
becoming either, or ambidexterous, is
incidental, or by education. In the
earliest stage, in fact, the youngster
has no use at all for his fists, except
plunging them into his eyes or mouth
He has to learn the use of both, and
while he is about it, little attention.
not more than is bestowed on his walk
and his talk by his doting parents-will
put him on the proper tack as to his
digital extremities.
That this can be readily done is
shown from the ease with which grown
people learn the use of the left hand in
special cases. The young lady type
writer, for example, knows no differ
ence between the right and left bank
of her keys, while the pianist is accus-
toned to execute the most difficult
passages on the lower register of the
instrument
The athletic sports particularly call
for ambideXterous work, as in rowing
and baseball, or in football, where the
heads of the opposing team are often
punched with the left as with the right
fist Mr.. John L. Sullivan and other
gentlemen of the joyous science of fsti-
cuffs always lead with the left hand,
and do the ma or part of their smuggling
in that form, the right hand being kept
in reserve and for defense.
Since these results can be attained in
special cases there is no reason why, in
general, the left arm, if trained in
youth, should not be as effective as the
right. and, like the left, be placed on
an equality with its fellow limb.-N. Y.

REVOLT DEER ISLAND.
Unl uIy COnvIcts Rebel and Threaten
to Kill the Oncers.

to Kill the Oncers.
Boston, Jan. ia report was circu-
lated here yesterday that a serious revolt
had occurred among the prisoners con-
fined at the Deer Island institution, and
that they threatened to kill the officials
of the prison.
This morning the rumor is confirmed,
but the officials at the island decline to
give further particulars of the uprising,
except that some 1875 unruly convicts
are now locked up in their cells for dis
obeying orders. Passes to the island are
denied to reporters, and the whole affair
seems to be wrapped up in considerable
mystery.
1t is stated that the trouble among the
Deer Island prisoners has been brewing
for some time.
The men claim that they are brutality
treated by the officials, and on several
occasions they have complained to the
commissioners. Several weeks ago the
commissioners listened to the grievances
of the prisoners, and then promised to
put stop to all harsh treatment on the
island.
The men declare that affairs have been
growing worse on the island for the past
week, and, as result, when they were
set to their different tasks yesterday 1876
prisoners refused to obey orders and set
up howl.
The noise was kept up all the morning
and up to the time of the arrival of the
officials from the Board of Directors of
the Public Institutions. The disturbing
element was then quieted with promises
of better treatment.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 19.-The friends of

diligently striving to determine who sent
the bottle of whiskey, on the theory that
it contained pure liquor when mailed
and the stuff was doctored in Denver.
1t is held that an affidavit has been
signed by several persons who were in
Herb Rootheroy's saloon on Seventeenth

few days ago, when one of the witnesses
against Graves. became intoxicated and
talked freely. He spoke of his acquaint-

He had plenty of listeners, for the topic
was uppermost in the public mind, and

did not meet with any interruption, and
as the effect of his rotations became more
apparent, he grew holder in his asser-
tions, until he startled his audience with
the statement that he himself had bought
the whiskey and mailed it to the Denver
address.
The story has created great sensation

claimed to be correct by people who We're

formerly been sailor. asked what

all over the house. adding that they
had fully examined every place in

asked about his clothing, and insisted
upon seeing it. Some one brought hfs
garments in at last. and very shabby

without success until my eye caught
the binding.
