City Government in Germany.

Prof. F. q. Peabody. In the March Forum.
With us, municipal offices are the
spoils of successful politicians; in
Germany they are the prizes of sue
cessful experts. 1t seems to a Ger
man as incredible to hear OF a city
governed by men who are just paus-
ing on their way to some higher place
rs il would be to hear of a railroad or
OF a cotton-mill thus superintended.
Good city administration with us is an
accident. 1t occurs because the man
with the appointing power happens to
appoint good agent. In Germany,
city work is a science as far from poll
tics as is the science OF engineering or
architecture. Each salaried alderman
is responsible for single department,
or for several closely allied parts of
the public business. He does not
serve, as do our aldermen, on three or
four scattered committees-schools
licenses, and sewers-about none of
which he has any scientific knowledge.
lie is elected to his Office because of
his knowledge and skill in special
field of municipal work, and takes
charge of that department. Thus,
city work offers to young German a
life career, just as railroading or man.
ufacturing does in America. An edu-
Gated man makes special study of
water-works or building-laws or poor
relief. He learns the methods of the
best European cities. He serves his
timo in the administration of some
small town, and perhaps gets a place
at the head of his chosen department
model of efficiency and economy;
finally, he finds the end of his profess
sional ambition in being promoted to
the same work in one of the great
cities of the kingdom. Here he has a
place of dignity in the social world,
and, il successful, holds a life office
with the assurance OF a pension for
himself and his family.

A New Style Of Clock.

Another ingenious mechanism has
just been added to the vast number
evolved in railroad economies-in the
present instance a new kind of clock,
the peculiar capabilities of which it is
thought present special advantages to
to locomotive engineers. The dial
plate and figures are of large size, as
are also both the hour and minute
hands, and the operation of these
latter constitutes the novel feature of
the invention. AS a train whirls past
station the hour and minute
hands whirl around like flash to
mark the correct time, and red bulls
eye flashes into the dial; five minutes
after the red light turns green and in
five minutes more the green light
disappears. The engineer on the
next train following can thus tell ex-
actly how many minutes ahead is the
train that precedes him. The clock
is perfect timekeeper, and when the
train passes drops the signal light.

BANISHED TO DUNGENESS.
How Collector Bradshaw Punished an
Inspector.

low collector Bradshaw Punished an
Inspector.
Inspector OF Customs G, E. Mum
was once banished to the wilds OF Dun
geness by ex-Collector Bradshaw for
making remark about the personal
appearance of the latter. Bradshaw
had been down to Portland, and ar
rived in this city looking very much
as if he had walked all the way home.
When Bradshaw had gone home,
Mum remarked that it. was we'll that
the police had not seen him or they
would have mistaken him for a va
grant.
John Alexander heard it and
promptly reported Munn's observa-
tions to Collector Bradshaw. The
next day Mum received telegram,
requesting him to report at Port
Townsend. When he arrived there
the collector told him to take the
steam launch. the Black Pup, and 20
up the Dungeness river. Mum told
him that it would be almost impossi-
bic to get the launch into the shallow
stream. The collector was obdurate.

being carried out. So stock of pro-
visions, sufficient to last two months.
was obtained. Bradshaw only gave
Mum one man, an old fellow named
Frye, who was afflicted with rheuma-
tism. They started out. The fires
went out several times before they
reached the river, but after three days
they arrived safely. They ran the
boat into the mouth of the river and
went to sleep. The tide went out and |
the launch tipped over on the beach.
They propped her up again and FRYE
made a small fortune selling liquor to |
the indians when Mum was catching
crabs. They stayed until Bradshaw
thought they were lost and sent a |
man after them. The Black Pup had |
to be towed into Port Townsend, and |
sank that night. She was raised but
has never been worth anything since.

Berlin Cable.
Prof.. Helm OF Zurich University has
for some years past been investigating
the subject of death by fall, and has
arrived at the surprising conclusion
that it is probably the most pleasant
way of quitting life. Whenever this
curiosity-inquisitive professor heard Of
somebody having tumbled off roof or
fallen down precipice and survived
he promptly set off to interview the
sufferer or engaged some other learned
man on the spot to do so. Prof, Helm
has elaborate records OF scores OF cases,
and upon these he has based lecture
just delivered, which, if comforting

cognate pursuits, may encourage sui.

His thinking power is immensely in

the fall of the body but one does not

" Doubtless in such cases the extreme
mental excitement plays q great part
and we may very reasonably assume
that pain is as if it were hypnotized
thereby. At the moment of fall the
whole intellectual activity is increased
to an extraordinary degree. There is
not a trace of anxiety. One considers

Poultry.

Chicks do not require to be fed un-
til "a hours old. Whyf Nature pro-
vides supply.
Better feed a little more and secure
a good growth, than to stint and
practically waste the feed.
Your roosts are up to high. Two
feet for large breeds and four feet for
small breeds is about right.
1t is bad police to save time and
trouble by feeding fowls at one time
enough to do them a week.
Beans and peas cooked, thickened
with bran and fed twice a week are
excellent food for laying hens.
Poultry will not thrive ON damp
ground. This has been said before,
but is true enough to repeat.
In ordering seeds get a supply of
sunflowers and plant so as to have the
seed next winter to feed to the poultry.
For setting, pick out smooth, we'll
shaped eggs from hens that are over q
year old or pullets that are well-ma-
tured.
Sending stale eggs to market is a
good way to get reputation that will
stick to you after you have got tired
of it.
One advantage with poultry of the
farm is that when full range can be
given, all varieties can be kept to a
good advantage.
The male bird that does not stand
squarely on his ".pins," in other
words shows signs of leg weakness, is
OF no value as breeder.
When the hens are we'll fed and
comfortably housed and yet do not
lay, little cayenne pepper in the
food as o stimulant will often be of
benefit.
1t is not the breed that thrives with
little care, but the one that receives
care that pays. A good breed permits
the farmer to convert his labor into
profit.
Don't permit hogs and fowls in the
same yard. If the fowls don't eat the
hogs, the hogs will eat the towels. In
either case the food costs more that it
comes to.
Dry earth and sifted coal ashes are
nowhere of greater service than on
the floor of the duck house. A
sprinkle Of straw, will make things
sweet and comfortable.
Wire netting is an excellent mater
ial to use for making temporary yards
for fowls. 1t is easy to put up and
can be readily taken down and moved
when necessary.
Hens nests should be often re.
newed, the old ones being burned OF
otherwise destroyed. In no case
should a nest in which q hen has
Matched be used any more forever.
Does poultry-keeping pay ? Acare.
fully kept account will answer this
question in practical way. Let the
account be perfeatly honest, giving the
fowls due credit for value received.
By the judicious use of incubatort
and brooders young chicks can be
kept on the market all the year round
Wherever fertile eggs can be obtained

Portland TELEGRAM.


The most that can be said OF the
Rhode Island election is that both
sides fought valiantly. 1t is practic-
ally drawn battle, and can scarcely
be accepted as foreshadowing Of the
presidential result. An exceptionally
large vote was polled, and altogether
it was the..most active campaign ever
known in the State. The most emf.

ing such distinguished gentlemen ~
ex-President Cleveland and Governor
Mckinley, participated in the fight.
