Night Schools Advancement

The question of dispensing with night
schools was earnestly discussed by the

Tea. Cheat Lead,

One of the industries in connection
with the tea trade is the collection OF
the lead with which tea chests are lined.
China has been noted for many centuries
for purity of its lead, and this tea-chest
lead, as it is called, is regarded as the
finest in existence. There are many uses
for it; it is found very valuablein making
the best kind of solder. No machinery
is employed in the production of this
sheet lead, every sheet is made by hand
IN the most primitive fashion. A large
brick is provided, the size of the sheet of
lead to be made, and is covered with two
or three sheets of paper. On these the
molten lead is poured, and another brick
is placed on the top, which fattens tbs
lead out the required size and thickness.
The sheets are then soldered together to
the size of the interior of the tea chest:
the tea is packed in, and the top sheet is
fastened in place. The workmen are
very expert, anl they turn out an in
mense number of sheets IN the course of
aday, and, where labor is SO cheap, at a
price much less than if the articles were
produced neutrality-suspicious. Tran

Justice Thompson, of Greenfield, has
had 10 undertake the somewhat difficult
tasG of defining drunkenness in the Su.
perior Court, chronicles the New York
Sun. He laid it down that because a
man, as a result of drinking, was undulY
patriotic, or had been stimulated to the
expression of pious or sacred sentiments,
OF had awakened his faculty for jest and
humor, he was not necessarily to be CON
sidered drunk. Finally. the Judge de-
slared that a man was drunk when he
had lost control of his physical and mea.
tai faculties.

"Reejy, I believe you're fond OF himE'

speak of him again." cried Regina, and
rushed up stairs in a storm of tears.
The ice market continued to go down,
and although the summer came in all It's
beauty the Martyr homestead did not
emerge from the area of depression. OF
course the Middledale people heard
about Kegina's transaction with Nj
Lawrv, and did not spare their COM
ments.
HELL never get mare than ninety
cents for it." she overheard one of the
gossips say, Regina tossed her Ice
Trade Journal into the fire when it came
that night, and never looked at an ice
quotation again
LAS I look at it now" she said to
herself, II was stupid, but he wa
positivel7 idiotic. I can have no respect
for such a man, ever if he has done me
a favor"
Mr.. tewry came to ask her to go for
q drive the next afternoon, but she de
clined to see him, pleading a headache.
Mary Alice looked mute reproachss at
her she did not dare to speak.
Several weeks passed before Mr.. Lawry
came again. Then he asked Regina to
play the accompaniment of 8 new song.
and she could not refuse, 1t was one OF
Molloy's, and she became much interested
in it; Mr.. Lawry certainly sang it with
much spirit.
"Whyl Where's Mary Alioe2"
She had left the room while they were
absorbed in the music. 81 never knew
her to do such a thing BEFORE said
Regina apologetically.
'fLet's have that last verse again."
cried Mr.. Lawry, with enthusiasm.
And one song followed another till
Regina found her voice mingling with
his, and she blushed to think she was
actually enjoying it.
"By the way, Miss Martyu," said Mr..
Lawry, as Regina resoiutely whirled
around in her piano chair, 81 hope you
will congratulate me on my good for
tuner"
He laughed good naturally at her puz-
zled look, and added, "evidently you
haven't watched the ice market recently.
I've sold that ice | bought from you for
q dollar and seventy five cents a toni"
A glow came into Regina's cheek, aud
she uttered a cry Of pleasure.
"Nothing in the world could have
given me so much delight" she said,
stretching out her hand.
He grasped it aud held it.
''Ah," said he, 81 need III thing
more to make me happy. want you to
share my good fortune with the, Regina.

hope you'll give MT yours. I've loved

sBut it never could have been if ice
hadn't gone upl" declared Regina, as she
struggled from his arms.
, She rushed into Mary Aliee's chamber,
after he had gone.
"sister, lear, I've. something great to

Alice, in her fond and gentle way, press
ing Regina to her heart. "I've followed

The climate of the United States is
much the same now that it was a hun
dred years ago, though perhaps a little
milder, for astronomers tell US that the
North Pole is actually moving south
which is good news for the explorers of
the future-and yet the aborigines of
America lived to a good old age before
sanitary woolens' were invented, or
overcoats had come in style. In fact, if
we are to believe the historians, they
wore leggins, moccasions and hunting
shirt OF deer skin with the hairy side
turned toward the body, and caps made
OF the fur of animals, and that was all
they did wear. When these garments
were wss through, for you know mackiu-
loshes and umbrellas are the products of
An ''effete civilization y they were about
as comfortable as none at all, and when
frozen stiff, as they often were on a win
ter's morning, "Lo" might as well have
donned shees.iron stove pipes instead OF
his primitive trousers and been equally
comfortable.

I. G. Libby, OF Burnham, Me-, who
has large cattle interests in Montana,
Gays that if the farmers of Maine would
live in shacks, as they dn in Montana,
with no furniture to speak of and the
coarssst of food, no Sundays, no boiled
shirts, no top carriages, no pianos OF
other articles of luxury, they could make
money just as fast as it is made in the
West. Mr.. Libby thinks that a year in
Montana would cure a Maine farmer of
grumbling at his native State.

The claim that gold is to be found In
Arkansas has often been made and as
often ridiculed. There is a tradition,
relates the New York Post, that many
years ago a mine was opened in one of
the border counties by a prospector who
died before he could obtain capital to
work the ore or would divulge the secret
of where it could be found. It is an I'M
disputed fact hat some years ago the.
New Orleans papers contained advertise
Gents offering a large sum of money for
evidence of the location of the abandoned
pockets, which came to be known, per-
haps, because they were supposed to DO
% the border line of Louisiana, as tle
Lost Louisiana Mines" Interest in tie
matter has recently been revived by tle
discovery Of particles Of gold in an exca-
vation among the mountains OF Mont
gomery County, and the finder iunpeI
g the conclusion that he had come upon
the .slost'' mines. Professor Banner, the
State Geologist, was asked to test the
ore, but he refused to do 50, saying hat
there were nc gold Or silver-bearins
mines in Arkaasas. A company bought
the land surrounding the excavation, set

In a close study oil the problem OF
domestic service Mrs. @. Ell. Stone SAYS:
Il do not wish to imply that intelligent
women are to blame for the present con
dit;on of things. There is a difference
between being the cause of a condition
and being to blame for it,. Women have
had a trying time in this century. The
rapidity with which OR sex has been
raised from the position of head cook to
that of the most responsible of human
beings-without adequate preparation at
that-makes one dizzy to think of. A
century is a short time in which to pass
from the belief. that even a knowledge
Of writing may be superauous for a
woman OF to-day's indiscriminate study,
that leaves us SO little time to think"

A Cheap Stone Road.

Ia 1871 a piece of we'll made dirt road
in the small village of Gilbert, one and
a half miles east of the city of Daven-
port, Iowa, was selected for a little ex-
pertinent. The road was sixty feet
wide, with sidewalks aud cutters, the
latter %G,nupying about sixteen feet, leav-
ing forty.four feet for the highway proper.
Five feet from the centre line of this
fo~rty-four feet, on both sides of it, were
staked boards, end to end, each board
one foot wide. Between these boards
was dumped limestone, broken fine
enough to pass through a two-inch ring.
When the space between the boards was
two-thirds full the first boards filed
were moved forward. When the boards
were removed the upper edges of the
rock rolled down, thus widening the
rock track between one two feet, leaving
on each side of the stone a good dirt
road sixteen feet wide.
When the dirt surface became muddy
the travel went over the stone centre,
which was thus made solid and smooth
without IN expensive roller. This ex.
pertinent was completed in 1878 and
the travel over it was probably FIVE times
as much as upon the average country
road. For sixteen years it remained in
perfect condition, Within the last two
years about 50 has been expended upon
it in repairs, Il is in perfect condition
still. Its original cost was ninety cents
for eash Twenty-Five cubic feet of stone.
Had the same policy continued every rod
of highway i'll the district would have
been macadamized at this time, and no
expense incurred except the ordinary
tax, and from one-half to two. thirds of
that tax might now be relinquished.-

FISH OF Endless Variets.

Pliny, tina great naturalist, who lived
about the time of Christ, reckoned the
whole number of known species Of fish
at ninety-four. Linn@us, the great
Swedish investigator of the eighteenth
century, could classify AIS, and he is
known to have been the greatest ichthy.
ologist Of the age in which he lived.
The progress made in that particular
branch since the time of Linn@us seems
all the more wonderful, for now, since
the expeditions of the Challenger and
others, $4,000 species show up in the
catalogues of the fish specialists. Man
