THE attitude of the HERALD on the
funding bond question received a prac-
tical endorsement in the council cham
ber yesterday when Mr.. H. w. Hellman,
of the Farmers and Merchants bank,
sent in written offer to take $100, 900
of the new issue at par. Mr.. Hellman
assured the council that there would be
no difficulty in disposing of the balance
of the bonds at par, or even at premi-
um. The council will hardly. after this
episode, be so regardless of the public
interests as to allow anybody to make a
big commission out of the sale OF these
bonds.

AN InpossIBLK TASK.

luo SUPERINTENDENT Vi tuo W uAbtAoA
reform school has rented several build
ings in order to secure accommodations
for the great number Of girls that are
being committed to that institution from
all parts of the state. The boys de-
partment is already full, and if the
courts continue to commit boys at the
rate they are now doing, in year or
two not only the buildings belonging to
the state will be crowded with delin-
quent juveniles, but the superinten-
dent will be required to rent
the whole town of Whittier to
meet the increased demand for &C.
commodations. There is something
wrong at the bottom Of all this. The
state is attempting to assume aIesponsi-
oility which properly belongs to the
parents. 1t undertakes to take charge
of minors who have committed no stat
utory offense, but who have been wild
and refractory, and whose parents have
failed to enforce the proper kind of home
discipline to bring them under subjec-
ton. We submit that it is not the duty
of the state to thus relieve weak or
careless parents Of the responsible
ity of compelling their children
to behave themselves. Only those
juveniles who have committed offenses
which the law recognizes ought to be
sentenced to the reform school. In
many cases the parents themselves are
the cause of the waywardness of their
children, and ought to be punished in
stead of their offspring. The state will
have its hands full if it undertakes to
make good boys and girls out Of all the
wild and wayward minors in the COM
monwealth. 1t is carrying the paternal
system of government too far to furnish
reformatories for any class of ju-
venile delinquents except those who
have violated the laws of the
state. The object of the es-
tablishment Of q state reform school
was to provide an institution whore
young criminals could be sent for re-
instead Of sending them to
the penitentiaries to mix with hardened
adult offenders, only to come out at the
end of their terms confirmed criminals.
What will be the result Of the present
practice? The juveniles Of both sexes
who are committed to the Whittier in
stitution merely because they are wild
and refractory will be punched with
young criminals who have been COM
victed of penal offenses, and instead of
profting morally from the discipline OF
the school, they will be deeply contain
mated by the vices of the hardened
adopts in crime with whom they will be
thrown in contact. But apart from this
very serious consideration the govern
ment undertakes greater contract than
it can carry out when it attempts to
bring up in the way they should 60 all
the spoiled children in the state.

Several years ago, while walking down
the lower Connecticut valley with party
of students, we chanced upon Il curious
ledge Of rock surmounting II low ridge by
the road that runs from Berlin to Merden,
about half way between Hartford and New
Haven. A scramble up the slope through
a bushy growth of young trees led to the
foot of the ledge-a thick bed of gray
greenish rock, not in layers like limestone
or sandstone, not crystalline like granite
or gneiss, but of IA loose ,structureless tex
ture, here and there carrying roughly
rounded blocks of a dense, dark rock
which we knew to be an old lava, from its
resemblance to the rocks elected from mod
eru volcanoes.
Although "A ledge of this kind is not of
ordinary occurrence, its features were SO
well marked that there could be little
doubt of its nature and origin; it was
bed of volcanic ashes, interspersed with
blocks or bombs of lava that must have
been thrown from some neighboring vent
long ago in the ancient time when the
rocks of the valley were made.
The ash bed lay upon series of muddy
sandstones that had evidently been formed
under water, for they were deposited in
layers, Just as sand and mud are now when
they are washed into pond; and to all APP
pearances the eruption OF the ashes and
bombs had taken place during the accumu-
lation Of the sandstones.-Prof w,

her breakfast, when Poll marched up to
her and called out, "Shoop' in her shrill

lowed by Poll, who screamed "Shool" at
every step.
A few days later Poll extended her morn
ing walk into the chicken yard. Here,
with her usual curiosity, she went peeriug
into every corner till she came to the old
hen on her nest. The hen made dive for
Polls yellow head, but missed it. Poll,
thinking discretion the better part of valor,
turned to run, the hen, with wings wide
spread, followed close after.

Mark island, the ledge Off Small point,
was the home for two or three years of
mysterious family. The cottage there was
erected five or six years ago by IA man who
came with fine Yacht, his wife and
mulatto boy AID took possession. They
made friends with no one and never allowed
anybody to land on the island unless some
one broke a1 oar or was shipwrecked.
There is only one place where a landing
can be made, and from its beach a path
leads to the house. In this path, at a point
which commanded full view of the land
ing, the mulatto boy stood from daylight
till dark with a musket on his shoulder
Two or three years this strange family
spent on the island, and then one spring
they did not come, nor have they been seen
or heard from since. But three years ago
a man was arrested in either Boston or
New York for passing counterfeit money
who ans ewered to the description of the one
who lived on Mark island. No attempt
was made to find his workshop, but some
folks think this was the place.-Lewiston

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK


Thore is a good deal of wonder concern
iug the action of the dynamo, how it pro
duces current How can power come from
union of cast iron, copper wire, sheet
iron and paper? asked the question of
Mr.. Briggs regardless of the shook might
inflict upon his scientific system, This is
about what he said in reply: "All the iron
we use is, as told you at the beginning of
your inquiry, slightly magnetic, If it is
not, we magnetic it by means of strong
current. We are sure of small quantity
of a residual magnetism in the iron frame
of the magnet.
"This residual magnetism does the bust
ness. The engine is started the rapid
revolution of the armature which connects
the two poles of the magnet generates it in
a current from the reserve fund, this cur
rent passes to the field coils, which are con-
nected through sort of bypath to the
winding of the armature, and charges them
to their full strength.
"A powerful magnetic field is then Gre
ated between the poles of the magnet, and
as the armature is revolving in the very
center Of this field, current is generated in
the coils of the armature Thus the two
principal parts of the machine help each
other. There is sufficient magnetism about
the machine to cause the generation of cur
rent to begin directly the armature is re-
volved.
"A portion of this current goes to the
coils of the field magnets and at once
strengthens their magnetism, which nat
urally causes corresponding increase of
strength in the currents generated in the
armature. In very short time the mag
netic field attans its full strength, and the
dynamo is developing the full amount of
energy for which it was designed. This,
in few words, is the beautiful principle
of the self exciting dynamo OF the power
supplied to the dynamo by the driving en-
gine, it delivers about nne-tenths in the
form of electrical energy, available for
lighting, for driving motors, for electro
plating, for the reduction of ores and for
dozens Of Other useful purposes. A very
small percentage of the power is used in
the dynamo itself energizing the field mag
nets. ."-Electricity.

One custom more credtable than com
mon prevails on Lord Walsingham's Non
folk estate. He allows a shilling for every
partridge shot and the whole sum thus
realized is applied to the reduction OF the
cottagers' rents. In this way each cottager
has received nearly sovereign on account
of the birds killed in one season. Lord
Walsingham is even more enthusiastic as
a naturalist than as sportsman. He has
lowered the natural history museum with
many gifts representing the fauna of Eng
land; is fellow of the Royal society, also
of the Linnaean and Geological societies
and has bagged 22l brace of grouse to his
own gun in n single day.
1t is curious circumstance that, al
though but slightly her husbands senior,
Lady Walsingham had been twice married
before Lord Walsingham her third hus-
band, left Eton.-London Star.

How the Chinese Set a Bone.

In setting fractured limb the Chinese
make no effort to bring the bones into ap-
position. The Chinese medicine man sim.
ply takes lot Of red clay and envelopes
the limb with it. Then he takes some
strips of bamboo and indents them
into the clay Bandages are wrapped
around those strips, and in the outer band
age he places the head of live chicken.
After he has secured this bandage he cuts
the head off the fowl, allowing the blood
to flow and penetrate the fracture. He
then takes the chickens head from be.
meath the bandage and covers the exterior
with thick coating of glue. The reason
given for applying the chickens head is
that it nourisbes the broken or fractured
limb and is heap good medicine. Butte

Much has been written and printed con,
cerning coffee. Cookbooks all contain re-
cipes for preparing it j0 H.ty rent ways
Every housel eeper considers tpat coffee is
something anybody can make, and there
fore she takes no particular pains to make
it, 1t is a fact that on the breakfast table
of nine out of ten families, where nice
cooking in other respects is the rule, the
coffee will be found watery stuff, tasting
strongly of chicory, or else so black and
thick as to be undrinkable by whoever is
used to the better made article
In the city the vast majority of house
wives buy ground coffee at corner gro
ceries. | think the same rule is good in
the country, for most country stores have
their coffee grinder. The groceryman's
profit is so large on coffee that of course it
pays him well to grind it. And he can, in
grinding, aduJerate it to so great an eX
tent that he would prefer to sell his "real
Java" and "real Mocha" ground, even if
he had to sell at Il less price than in the
bean. The fact that the price is the same,
ground or uDground, never seems to show
people plainly how well it would pay them
30 grind their own coffee. They may be
sure the groceryman does not do it for love.

Whenever there is very high polish on
wooden goods it is well to distrust them.
They have probably been finished by press,
ing them over hot rollers or calenders and
a drop of water will remove the finish and
leave spot. In order to make such goods
of value they must be sponged. Indeed
there are few wooden goods that are not
improved by the process of sponging be-
fore they are made up. A professional
sponger seldom charges, in the smaller
cities, more than four or five cents yard
for this work. in large metropolis like
New York the price may be something
more. If you cannot get the sponging
done in any other way you can do it your
self
Lay the cloth, yard after yard, on a
board and go over it with "A sponge dipped
in cold water till it is thoroughly and even
ly wet throughout; it need not be drencbed.
Lay it in a sheet. Two sheets may be
necessary if it is II very long piece of cloth.
Fold it in the fold of the goods as it came
from the shop, but lay a smooth piece of
the sheet between the folds. Begin to roll
it at the end, and roll it up evenly ard
firmly in the sheet until the cloth is all
rolled up. Let it remain over night In
the morning press it on the wrong side
with moderately hot iron until it is per-
fectly smooth and nearly dry Then hang
it on a clotheshorse until it is thoroughly
dry.-New York Tribune.

Wages and Board in Several Cities.

There are over 400 pursuits for women
in this country, Looking at the average
weekly earnings, it is found that San
Francisco pays the highest wages, but one
has also to take into consideration that the
expenses of living there are very high.
Again, comparing New York and Boston,
it is found that girls in New York earn
more than those in or near Boston, but
that the charges for board and lodgings
are far better in Boston. Take, for in
stance, the boarding house for working
girls, in charge of Miss Sarah II. Gardner.
There are accommodations there for
thirty four, and the price, including
dozen laundry pieces, varies from three to
four dollars per week, according to the
room. The location is good; the rooms are
furnished with neat substantial furniture,
while the liberal and well cooked food is
served in pretty tableware. In another
dining room meals are served to girls who
do not lodge in the house for $3.50 This
is only one instance of many such to be
found in Massachusetts.-Br Brooklyn Eagle.

COST OF REPAIRS.

An inspector i'll the employ of the under

vessel and, with an expert rigger and a
shipwright employed in the interest of the
owners, examines the damage and ascer-
tains the cause. On some parts OF the rig
ging and eparS may be the marks of an aE,
and the rest of the rigging may show only
the effects of breaking. The captain tells
his story of the disaster and shows the log.
The inspector and the experts discuss all
the features of the subject, the object of
the inspector being to keep the cost of re
pairs as low as possible aud maintain
strength, and that of the experts to keep
as much as possible from the owners.
