Suffrage.

The Australian system of voting has been
gwen such amendments as the practical
rial of this model of balIoting showed to
be necessary The new law will be found
10 cmbody, IN some form, nearly, if not
quite all of the excellent and practical sug-
gestIons made by Secretary of State Fes-
senden at the opening of the session.
Certificates of nomination must now
b. fled with the secretary of State
thirty DAYS, exclusive of sunday prior to
election day, instead of twenty days as
under the old law. This change was found
advisable on account of the lack of rapid
communication with some sections of the
state. and to insure the greatest possible
accuracy in the preparation of the ballots.
one of the most important changes i'll the
law, and one which possesses special in
ierest at the present time owing to
the unsayory incidents attendant upon the
recent municipal election in Portland is the
provision which requires the ballot clerks
TO be present and witness the count. An
other change, and the only one which has
evoked any criticism, is the one which
ote split ticket to erase the names of the
candidate or cand latcs to whom he is
opposed and write beneath the names of
those whom he favors. This will undoubt-
dly do much TO discourage such voting
The opinion has been expressed that it may
lead some who might, otherwise, only cut a
name or two on a ticket, to vote the straight
opposition ticket hut we are inclined to be-
ileyc that this would work about as much 10
the disadvantage of one party as of another.

Salaries.

None OF the public officials of Maine are
cverpaid. True,we occasionally here dem
agugues upon the stump making loud talk
about "extrAvagsnce" in this respect. Such
assertions are IS unfounded IS they are in
sincere. As a matter of fact the salaries
paid officials in this State are lower than
those paid in slmos; any other state in the
Union. We know of many officials in this
State who are sadly underpaid. bu,
ve cannot think of one who is receiving
more than an intelligent performance of his
duties Is worth. The present Legislature
has been very conservative as regards the
increase Of salaries. The county attorney
of Somerset has his salary advanced to
$500 year. The county attorney Of Lin.
coin county is given s4oo per wear. The
register of probate for Aroostook county is
given salary Of $500. In Penobsco,
county the judge Of probate is given $1,000
FER annum. and the register Of deeds for
the came county = salary of $500.
Fhese advances are certainly moderate
and just and their sum total 10 compar.-
lively snall. We think the action OF the
Leahsafe regarains them viii be general.
asd heartily approved BY people of the
aallroods.

HISTORY REPEATED.

JAMESTOWN, Va, which was the
earliest English settlement, 1907, per-
ished in 1876 by the hand of Bacon, and
the only vestige of the village that re-
mains is the ruin of church pillar.
THE aggregate number of troops
furnished by New Hampshire for the
national army during the civil war
was 34,605, of whom 5.51S perished in
battle, and II ,O39 were disabled by
wounds and sickness
THE colony of New Hampshire was
for many years dependent of Massa-
chusetts. It's short line of scacoast
was probably first discovered by Mar
tin Pring in 1903. It was visited by
Capt. John Smith in 1914.
DURING the late civil war New Jer-
sey furnished the national army with
79,51i troops. In 1870 the legislature
refused to ratify the fifteenth amend
ment to the national constitution on
the ground that the right to regulate
suffrage is vested in the respective
states.
DURING the war for independence
the people of New Hampshire took an
active part. Their men were engaged
in many important battles, from that
OF Bunker Hill TO that at Yorktown,
and were particularly distinguished
for their bravery in the battles at Ben
nington, Bcnis' Heights. Saratoga and
Monmouth.

Jewels AND PRECIOUS STONES.

TIE diamond is not among the ear
Hest gems known to man. 1t has not
tbeen found in the ruins Of Nineveh, in
the Etruscan sepulchers nor in the
ltombs of the Ph9nicians.
ABOUT S100, 900 worth of pearls have
been taken from the waters of Wis
iconsin streams during the last few
years. Some single pearls obtained
there have been estimated to be worth
$1,000.
WHEN the French crown jewels were
invcntoried in 1871 there were 9,547
diamonds, 5G6 pearls, 230 rubies, 134
sapphires, 80 emeralds, II topazes, 8
amethysts and number of unclassified
stones.
ENoUGH diamonds to load two large
coal trains and having total weight
of 50,000,0 900 carats and valuation of
$3.50. ZOO, 900 have been taken out of the
Cape diamond fields since their discov-
cry in 1867.

is manufactured by heating anne
thysts.
TIE most famous opal of history was
that worn by the Roman Senator No

BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

THE first case for the recovery Of the
special tax levied on absentee land
owners in New Zealand recently came
before the Wellington resident magis-
trate. In the mother country the state
would be heavy gamer by such pros

CANADA has been fairly fortunate
during the last six months as regards
failures. The greatest improvement
is in the province Of Quebec, and the
improvement extends in lesser degree
to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
Manitoba.
THE estimates for the year In New
Zealand show a surplus of e1S0,000
The government intends to devote
e250, 600 to the construction OF public
works. For the present no attempt
will be made to place a loan on the
London money market
AS WAS anticipated, the discovery OF
rich auriferous quartz reefs near Cool
gardie, western Austsalia, has led to
a rush. 1t did not take long for four
teen hundred persons to hurry 70 the
Golconda, and still they go, special
steamers leaving Melbourne for west

MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY has started

PLANT CLIPPINGS.

A WONDERFUL vegetable is the truf
fie. 1t has no seeds, flowers, leaves,
stem or roots. Trained dogs hunt for
it in England, and in some European
countries trained sows perform this
service.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Gardeners
Chronicle recently recommended that,
when flowers are to travel in wooden
boxes, the boxes be stepped in water
for an hour before they are packed.
If the box Is quite dry it will quickly
absorb from the flowers the greater
part of their moisture.
If, for any reason, one wishes to
keep back rosebuds, they must first
have their stems placed in cool water,
then the buds themselves sprinkled
with the same, after which they must
be set in a dark, cool roo1n-the cell
lar is best. With this treatment tho
opening process will not advance per-
ceptibly for several days.
A BROOKLYN florist has four or five
chameleons in one Of his windows.
They are from South America and
seem to have suffered no change in
their removal to cooler climate.
They lie upon the leaves of his palms

casionally found to alter their color a
little, though generally it is only from
one shade of green to ano ther.
