The captain Of a schooner belonging
in Bridgeport, Conn, tells a queer
story. He is ready to stake his word as
a seaman that his schooner was hit by
a meteor the other day. This extraor-
dinary object struck the topmast, sizzled
and swizgled through the sails, setting
the rigging on fire, and finally burst
Chunks as large as "bushel basket
fell on the deck, The shock knocked
down the watch and those of the crew
who were ON deck and scared them out of
a yoaI growth, so the story goes, Ono
sailor was in the rigging when the
thing hit and he was burned about the
legs. The time was early in the morn
ing, just before daylight. The vessel IS
deck was illuminated till it was as light
as day. 1t rather against this remark
able yarn that the name of the schooner
was p 7. Barnum. If the captain and
crew Of the schooner can show any of
the pieces of the meteor "as big as a
bushel basket, " and if the sailor whose
legs were burned has still his wounds
to show for the explosion, then mankind
will be ready to believe that the sohoon-
er P. T. Barnum really did have a col
lision with a meteor that burst into
starry fragments and fell on the deck,
setting fire to the rigging
1t is to be hoped some Of those large
fragments of meteor will find theil
way to the museums of the country anC
be analysed.

Perspeotive In study.

The deepest mistake being made today
by a certain class of enthusiastic men of
science is neglect of the Imagination. Or
it may be that Imagination is misunder-
stood and the word is used by them to rep
resent the faculty which deals with un-
realities. These earnest and active men
seem TO overlook the tremendous result
accomplished, even in natural science, by
the imagination of such men as Kepler,
Newton, Goethe, Franklin and Laplace.
We are all too apt to look upon Darwin as
a man devoid of the divine gift, hut this
theory is none the less great poem in ehe
abstract because its mountain of dry de-
tails shuts OFF the horizon of enohant-
ment.
The student should be permitted to see
and feel something more than mere ma
terial substance when he touches the hem
of natures garment. The contact must
bring the thrill of immemorial kinship
from the living quiyering body and the
luminous soul within it, There is danger
that we shall lose the tradition of poetry
pure and simple, and with it the con
soiousness of perspective whose vanish
ing point is our spiritual origin. There is
equal risk in casting aside all else for what
we call practical science, of falling into
the mill of constituencies materialism and
bring ground to the dust of pessimism.-

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-Yale defeated
Princeton at Manhattan field Saturday by
a score of "a to 0. Yale played "a grand
all around game, In attack and defense
there was scarcely flaw. The Tigers, on
the other hand, were weak, and the men
who were expected to play great football
were rather dismal failures. The game
was played in II pouring rain, and the field
was muddy and full Of holes. But in spite
of the horrible weather there were fully

more looked on from the surrounding

In many parts of the Union a war is
being waged against the bakers to COLI
pei them to lower the charge for a loaf
of bread to something like ~ fair level
with the relative price of wheat and
flour A barrel of the best flour costs
the baker now from $3. to $3.GA
yet ha charges just the same-5 cents
for % loaf of bread that he did
four years ago, when flour was nearly
twice as much per barrel All other
bakers trash is up in proportion. Peo.
pie want to know why this is, and they
are determined to find out Already
prices are weakening. In some of the
cities the bakers have yielded and are
selling the former . cent loaf for and
cents. Undoubtedly bread must come
down everywhere.
The same is true of beef and mutton.
Beef cattle have been dull in price for
several years past. Yet beef is just as
high as it ever was. 1t must come down
to meet the lowered scale of wages If
people of reduced incomes cannot pay
for meat, fortunately they can live with
out meat They would be better off if
they did not eat so much as it is. Milk
has already fallen. In the large cities
the dealers sell the best quality some
times as low as 3 cents a quart
Groceries have been reduced in price
This has been brought about in a nota-
BILE way by the great dry goods houses
entering into the grocery trade and un-
derselling the regular grocers. The Gro
GERS union has kept prices up, but the
big dry goods houses have forced them
down. Members Of the Grooers' union
declare the dry goods men are selling
the articles below cost, but great mer-
chants do not usually sell wares Of any
kind in that way. As to wearing ap-
parel, good, common, respectable cloth
ing material, silk and cotton fabrics
furs, etc, have taken a great tumble
| Only rents still remain at antepanio
prices, and even they must eventually
descend from their high notch,
One fact is especially to be noted. It
is that when prices are lowered all
around they never 60 back to the for
mer high rates, but remain permanent
ly down, So it will be in the present
depression. If merchants, houseowners
and butchers can no longer get the
prices they used to because working
peoples wages have fallen, they, on the
other hand, will no longer have to pay
so much for things they must buy. Sc
the situation will be equalized all round.

WAsHINGToN Dec. 3.-The report of
Hon James II. Eckels, comptroller Of the

There is one encouraging sign in
some of the financial reports of the great
corporations 1t is that, while the gross
earnings have decreased considerably in
1894, net earnings have diminished
much less-that is to say, economy in
management has made up somewhat for
the loss of business. The Americans are
naturally a wasteful people. An occa-
sional spell of hard times will be the
best lesson they could have on the sub
iect of economy. The wastefulness eX-
tends even to the household and the in
dividual. An American family throws
away what would keep European fam
lily Of the poorer class. We in this coun-
try must hereafter adapt ourselves per-
manently to the system Of smaller re-
turns and greater economy, We shall be
as rich in the long run for it, The vast
fortunes once realized in few years in
this new country are a thing of the
past. The country is settled up, and its
resources must be divided among many
people

A writer suggests that a majority of
she people did not vote the bread ont of
1heir own mouths in 1892, because the
Southern states vo'ed about the election
bill and not about the tariff, and the
Northern states gave plurality to Presi.
dent Harrison, But if man stupidity
votes iu such a fashion as to break down
mis- own industry aud business, because he
cares less for them than for the maiuten-
ance Of the Democratic party i'm power by
fraudulent elections at the South, he dis
-iHctly does vote the bread out Of his
own mouth, and deserves all thesuffariug
ne gets. THAT is not ALL in the Northern
states about 235,Sl8 voters fooled away
their votes on Prohibition tickets, and so
voted the bread out of their mouths by
refusing to sustain the policy which had
given them prosperity and good wages. 1t
one Of the most useful lessons of that
election that men cannot fool around with
ehird tickets, which have no chance of
success, without taking just the same re.
sponsibility and burden, just the same
loss aud suffering, as if they had deliber-
ately voted for British against American
industries. SO in the Northern states the
Populists cast useless votes aggregating
62O,7 but they knew that they were in
fact helping the Democratic party, even
where they were not actually in open
league with it, and they voted the bread
out of their own mouths as distinctly
AZ Il they had cast their ballots
for Cleveland aud Free Trade. This
is pertinent this year, when all the
political schemers are looking to the Pop
ulsts and Prohibitionists as the only
hope Of the Democratic party in the next
election. If these sham tickets, which
have no possibility of success, could di
vert votes enough in 1896, they would
once more enable Democratic Free Trade

pointments made i'm the classified service,
an increase Of SO over the previous year
The whole number of applicants exam
incd for the five branches of the classified
service was ,s79 of whom %, 13l passed

increase for the year of 12,Ji1, an increase
of S,l23 in the number who passed and
4,ilS in the number of those who failed.
Politics are said to have been practically
eliminated in making appointments and

have been complaints from many Of the
smaller Offices and in some offices there
have been practically clean sweeps.
