worse than you do" said the stewardess

their methods leave much to be improved
on, and they have offered an inspiring

Use For Heavens Rain.


A succnct review of the problem and of
the conditions involved will be of interest
The area of our public domain naturally fit
for agriculture will soon be exhausted. The
arid section contains $40, 664 6S3 acres, near
ly half of which could be made richly pro-
ductive by irrigation for a wide range of
crops, from wheat to fruits, temperate and
semitropical. The time will come when
the great American desert of Fremonts ex-
ploring period, which extended 1000 miles
east of it's present limits, will have nearly
disappeared in toto. With sufficient water
the yellow sands will become a carpet of
verdure. To have the rains of heaven,
whether stored up in the natural reservoirs
under ground and thus reached by artesian
wells, or whether damned upin great lakes
above ground, on free tap, and thus under
perfect control, is the object of scientific If
rigation.
The uses to which this historic science
has been put and the magnificent scale of
its operation i'll other countries in ancient
and modern times are too well known to
need comment. Even in the ancient ruins
of prehistoric cities of our own west can be
found the remains of great aqueducts and
conduits. The man of the west is only try
ing to repeat on a little bigger scale what
his predecessor did before Columbus came
sought to accomplish irrigation on a large
scale are the artesian we'll system and the
reservoir system. Maj or Powell, the accom-
plished head of the geological survey. has
rendered his belief that no great results
will be achieved by artesian wells, basing
his theory on the fact that multiplication
of these wells always so lessons the avail
able supply that they soon cease to be free
flowing. This has been the case east of the
Mississippi without question. But other
scientists are convinced that the geological
conditions of the transmissouri west cause
the absorption of enormous volumes of wa
ter in the earth, and that vast subterranean
rivers flow under Idaho, Nevada and Ari-
IONA, unseen Missssippis, which only need
to be tapped to furnish a limitless supply.
The experiments in Nevada, though not
such as to fully settle the question, are
highly encouraging. And the exquisite
GASES of greenery which delight the railway
traveller i'll traversing the Nevadan sand
and sagebrush, especially the little paradise
of Humboldt, are proofs of what artesian
water can do.

Except for water commis- siuner, an unimportant office. there was but one candidate in the field for each office. and the present iucumbents were unanimously rrnomlnated. And the honor was we'll deserved. Richard F. Grady has been an ideal city clerk. The ordinary duties and responsibilities resting upon him were increased by the compli- catrd work in connection with the new water supply. Clerk Grady proved equal to the task. He will be elected by an in creased majority. James J.

HE STATE TICKET.

The democratic stlte convention made a happy selection of candidates. Ernest Cady, the standard bearer, is man of recognized ability and integrity. He is a worker, too, and In view of the fact that Colonel Cheney's aspirations were Iuth- lessly destroyed by the republican conven- ton. the Atter's friends in and around Hartford can hardly be expected to roll up their sleeves and work as they would had the faxes been kinder to the graceful colon,l.
 In Bridgeport We find similar state of affairs. The Marigold boom for first LonOrs went up in smoke even before the republican convention Was called to order. T4e ambitious Mtyor Marigold was told tdat Le displayed an awful nerve" or words to that effect, tO aspire so high and the Votes that he counted upon never c ctmr. IL l. but reasonable to expect that Juise Bearislvy. gentleman and scholar, wno claims Bridgeport as his home. will profit by the overthrow of Marigold.
 Wats:burys own candidate, Mayor Edw.ri C kIlduf. also adds strength and s! lIruetry 10 the ticket. He is qualified Gy natural ability. education and expert euce to make a successful secretary of st-.t-. He is popular at home. while as ] political manager he has no superior, so that Waterbury may be depended upon to d. the handsome thing by the state ticket 1 stephen O. Bowen, the candidate for ! e4Surer, comes from across the Connecti- cur rlver and will unite the forces in the eastern part of the state.
 Nicholas Staub's popularity was proven 10 evesybody's satisfaction in former en- : gtgements. He Is all right.
 1 The platform Is a consistent document. There Is no If" ..perhaps' or Il guess SO about 1t. It Is straightforward state u-ent of the pArtys prInclples-an en- dorseme't of President Cleveland, de- nunciLtion ot trusts and the \. P. A a deinand that the people of Connecticut be slvrE an early opportunity of deciding by ballot upon the question of constitutional convention, an expression of sympathy for wOrkinSmen, a condemnation of the issu- Hnce ot free passes to public officials, an approval of legislation looking toward the enactment ot corrupt practices act and a demand for economy in state expenditures. This platform is broad enough for any democrat to stand upon and Is striking contrast to the makeshift structure framed by the republican convention.

EVERY HOME SHOULD OWN A ApYNAMo


Then Housewives Could MaEnetize Ham,
 mers and Make Tack Driving Easy.
 There is an easy way to render the ordinary tack hammer an article that may be used with comfort and to do away with all danger of bruised fingers from its misdirected blows. A little electricity will do the trick. The process is so simple that it should be universal ly adopted.
 All that is required Is access to dynamo. Then lay the head of the ham, mer on the framework and leave it there for about five minutes. This needs no strength, but the hammer cannot be detached without the knowledge that some force holds it fast to the ironwork, and herein lies the secret. By contact with the dynamo your hammer has been magnetiZed and will pick up bits of iron or steel that are not too heavy for its strength
 Tacks and small nails, too short to be held i'll the fingers when driving, may be easily placed ill position for the ham, mer blows without using tho finger or thumbs and much speedier work ac- complished. In retacking torn shades the man of the house will at once ap- l preciatc the blessing of n magnetized hammer, since he can pick the tiny tacks from the box direct with his mag net, press them into the roller with the same tool aud by one blow drive the elusive fasteners home.
 Carpet laying is made easy and stray tacks in quantities such as will slip from tho fingers thing of the past | New York Herald.
