An Opening for the Microbe.

The people Of Washington no doubt regard
with satisfaction the measures that are being

ward offensive alleys and defective slop buckets.

all manner OF microbes and disease germs!
For three years rast We have had intermit-
tent seasons Of muddy drinking water. but we
were assured the water was chemically pure, "
and SO swallowed the mud and said nothing.
Tuesday there WAS an unaccounSable stoppage
of the water supply in part of the govern
ulent printing Office. Experts we're put to
work ard succeeded in locating the obstruc-
ton. which was found 20 be a ro-
bust, weil-developed eel measuring fully
two Zee: i'll length and al inch ard a quarter

for one inspector 10 be detailed to look after
the underground conduiIs? l have never seen
such q mass OF filth is hidden under this

Where wires are drawn into houses underground
it is done through six inch pipe. thus connec-

Marie Antoinette's Main Refuge.

There is building in Edgecomb, an old square, white house, concerning which an interesting story is told. This tradition is that at the time of the French revolution Captain Samuel Clough, the owner of the house, who sailed 8 ship between Maine and France, was engaged to bring to this country no less valuable treasure than the unfortunate Queen Marie Antoinette, and that quantities of rich stuffs, furniture and silver were put aboard his ship for the use of the exile, whose destination was to have been this same house, which then stood in Westport, it having been removed to the mainland on raft 60 years ago. It is yet occupied by Captain Clough's de scendants.
 One circumstance which lends con- frmation to the story is that similar legend attaches to a house in Dorchester, Mass, the famous Swan mansion, then owned by Colonel Swan, who spent much of his time in Paris, but who set tied permanently in this country after the French revolution, his house being adorned in princely fashion. Now, Cap tain Clough and Colonel Swan had mon- ey dealings together in Paris, Captain Clough in 1794 having had a contract to purchase $50, ,0OO worth of lumber for the colonel What more likely than that Colonel Swan, who was warm friend of Lafayette, should have engaged the Maine, captain to aid him in a plan of such great importance as the attempted rescue of the French queen, with which he is credited?-Lewiston Journal.

Ants Bigger Than Foxes.

Pliny, that rare old gossiper, tells, among his other extraordinary stories, that of the Bactrian method of obtaining gold. The sandy deserts of Bactria in the days of that historian were, so the old man says, literally swarming with ants slightly bigger than foxes" These gigantic representatives of the genus hy- menoptera burrowed deeply into the sandy wastes, their tunnels and galleries often being hundreds of feet in extent. The earth removed from these burrows was always carried to the outside and thrown up in,hills Remember Pliny says this) "of bigness exceeding that of 8 palace" This debris, sand, earth, etc., was soon found to be wonderfully rich in small nuggets of gold.
 The danger from the ants was greater, however, than that from the Indians in the early days of gold digging in the west .ern United States, and many stories are told of men who were literally devoured in few moments by the fierce owners of some disturbed burrow. Some ob- serving old hunter at last discovered that the giant ants slept during the hottest hours of the day. After that the seekers after the yellow metal only made their incursions at the proper time, and even then they only staid long enough in the deserts to fill their sacks with the golden sand, which they took home to sift at leisure. With all this precaution the ants often swiftly pursued the feetest horses, and it was only by using various stratagems that the invaders managed to escape alive"-St. Louis Republic.

SEDG WICK AGAIN.

It was too bad that we didn't win that foot ball game up at Great Harrington Friday but hard luck got after our boys and they were beaten in consequence. The teams lined mp about 2.30 and Sedgwick Institute got the ball and made a touchdown on their first play. Canaan Academy then worked the ball over the other. goal line for a touchdown. The game was we'll played then. the first half ending score Is to 8 in favor of Canaan. The second half was great half and the playing of Walsh, the Sedgwick captain, was the feature. He made some great end runs and this, with Zizinia's work on the center, rolled up the points for the In stitute. The Canaan boys lost the game on the failure of a couple of tricks which were disastrous to them, the Sedgwicks capturing the ball. The score at the call. of time was Sedgwick 26, Canaan 22.
 The absence of Newell on the Ipsti- tute eleven was very perceptible and makes great difference in the playing of the rest of the Harrington team. Zi- zinia couldn't kick little bit and miss ed four chances. Walsh kicked the only goal for Sedgwick.
 The Canaan eleven put up great game of foot ball and surprised even their admirers. A few more cool heads on the team and they will be "out of sight} All played so we'll that no especial mention can be made. Dupee kicked three goals out of four chances.

DEPUTY CHAUvIN.
Elected From His Tonsorial Estsb1ish- ment to the e.French Chamber.

Elected From His Tonsorial Estsblish-
 ment to the'French Chamber.
 M. Chauvin, elected to the French chamber for the Seine district, abandon ed the mines at the age of 16. He be- came hairdresser and had the distinc- tion of running his comb and his curl ing irons through the locks of the pret- tiest members of the Theatre Francais.
 Politically, he is revolutionary So- cialist, speaker at public meetings and sworn enemy of the employment bu- reau. These characteristics commended him to the suffrage of the electors for the suburb of Puteaux (the Fifth) dis trict of St. Denis.
 To all who have reproached him with his too ardent advocacy of the working man he has replied: "Well, what would you have me do? Because of my ideas all my patrons leave me, and I must go into some other business"
 Why should he not go into parlia- ment? His trade makes him a contem- poraneous Figaro, political Figaro adapted to this fin de siecle, such a per son as Beaumarchais would picture were he living today. We have seen M. Chauvin at home in Paris, in his shop in the Rue des Archives, Marais. He was not aware that 8 perfdious journalist under the guise of client was watch ing him. Consequently we have been able to observe him at our ease in the exercise of his profession when he had no motive for posing"
 He is about 34 years old, but looks hardly 30, tall, slight and almost dis tingue, with regular features, 8 straight nose, dark complexion, brown hair, we'll combed and brushed, and small mustache with the ends pointed. But the line of his brow and his keen expres- sion bespeak latent energy. "Short? Very we'll. Quite correct" He wears 8 white apron, just like Figaro, but not in a mercenary or servile way, but like a surgeon. No chatter, no gossip. He keeps this probably for meetings. Assist ed by two ''artists," he operates himself in his comfortable salon." hung with red paper. Praised by some, blamed by others, braving the wicked, the butt of everybody" shaving the bourgeois and having no appearance of desiring to cut their throats. Perhaps he will some day find out that yielding the razor is more profitable than empty honors.
 Has he also, like the barber of Seville, literary and artistic tastes? Many en- cravings ornament his salon, among oth- CTS portraits of Beranger Dejazet. Paris Illustre.

The Status of Cotton.

In 1SS7 there was $5,414, 400 invested in cotton mills in the Palmetto state. Today there is probably $12, ,000, ,000 in- vested.
 Capital has been freely invested in cot: ton mills and with very rare exceptions has proved to be the highest class of in- vestment. The day of cotton mills has come, and the increase is growing as steadily as the people of the state are be- coming convinced that the cotton ought to be manufactured where it is grown. If the present pace be kept up, it will not be long before there will be a cotton mill in every county. Figures, however, speak louder than anything else, and the remarkable growth of the cotton mill industry in recent years is shown by the following record of capital invested:
