Mr.. Haggard stood for election in East
Norfolk and his canvass was attended
with various lively and exciting Incl
dents which perhaps may serve him as
ture romance of real life, since they fail
ed 70 serve his political purposes. He
saved his head from being broken by
some of his belligerent opponents in
the canvass only to have it badly frac-
tured in ii political sense when they
got at him at the polls.
If this sudden and calamitouS ending
to his political aspirations has the re-
suit Of turning Mr.. Haggard's energies
into literary channels again the reading
public may gain more by his defeat
h the House of Commons lost. Mr..
Haggard has o been much in evil
dence lately in Il literary sense, but the
qualities manifested in the production
Of such remarkable stories as king
SOlOmOn'S Mines and Jess" surely
justify the belief that we have not
heard the last Of this versatile and
powerful writer. Mr.. Haggard is still
a young man. only 80 last March, and is
therefore good for many more years
of work, as life usually goes. 1t Is
worth noting in this connection that
Mr.. Haggard's first book was Of a po-

The recent State census in MaSSa
chuSetts is in the nature of a diSap-
pOintment to the dwellers in the Hub,
as they had fondly anticipated Boston
would pass the half-million mark.
whereas it is found to contain 494.20J
population. as compared with 44S,477
in 1890 and 39O,393 in 1885. Neverthe-
less this is Il gratifying gain. the per-
centage of increase since 1885 being
1853. In the preceding decade it was
only 23.6. 1t is noticeable that the ratio
of growth in the outside municipalities
Is larger than in Boston itself. There
are twenty-SiX Of these municipalities
within a radius of fifteen or twenty
miles from the Hub. which ii is the
habit of its newspapers to claim as the
greater Boston of the rear future. If
they were annexed to the city 10Y il
would have a population of 911.512.
Meanwhile il is in order to console the
Hub for its failure to reach the half
million mark. 1t is probably due to the
fact of the severe Industrial depression
of last year. which checked the growth
of Boston as n manufacturing center
on the Onr hand. and on the other to
the failure of It's cnumeratOrS to get
in their work while the Christian En-
~dcavOrcrS Were so largely in evidence
in that city.

make settler water. tartaric acid and

bought at a drug store ready for Use.
EffervesCence will at once take place,
throwing off carbOnic acid gas, and
this will escape through the funnel.
But If you have placed within the
funnel two or three little balls Of
elder pith, or even Of cork, the gas can
not escape except at intervals. for as
one ball is lifted from the oritice an
other will drop down to close it. BY
painting these balls in different colors
you may produce a pretty effect.
The effect may be made more beauti'
full by cutting tissue paper in the form
of q butter1y's wings and gluing them
to one of the balls. The balls Will
dance up and down in the funnel and
the imitation butterfly will t1utter as
if over a flower.

TEACHER SHOULD TEACH,

Our new State school commission
er should see to it that those who
are allowed to take charge of schools
and to draw money from the State
for teaching, should be required to
teach. The rule now, With an oc-
casional exception, is for the teacn~
ers to hear recitationS, and for the
parents, where they are competent,
to do the teaching. We are taxed
to pay teachers to teach our chill
dren, not simply to classify them,
and appoint times to "hear the les.
sons" Of course, scholars should
study, but competent teacher, in
short lecture can give such
light on the lesson as to make the
task of STUDYING a pleasant and not
an irksome one. No man, nor wo'
mao, should be allowed to continue
in charge of a school who has nc
capacity for teaching. Anybody
can hear recitations.-W esleyan
