MEET .1SPH4LT FAVORED.

Passing lightly over all the merits and the glories of vltrifed brick, block asphalt, wood molasses and grass, the board of aldermen has declared in fav- or of sheet asphalt for Orange and West Chapel streets. Perhaps mo- body, except those who sell or "holler" for sheet asphalt, can be sure that this is the right action, and perhaps nobody except those who sell or ''holler" for vitrified brick, block asphalt, wood mo- lasses and grass, can be sure that it Is wrong. There has been so much weight of evidence" and "preponder- ance of evidence" and other such things in favor of each kind of pavement that is for sale that it has been impossible for disinterested observer to see what is what. Sheet asphalt certainly looks well. Those who don't sell it say that it doesn't wear we'll, that it is expen- sive to lay and expensive to keep in repair. But it must have some sub stantial merits in order to get itself adopted and approved as 1t has done. Perhaps the real solution of the great paving problem which is now tearing and will further tear New Haven all up will be the adoption of all the ap- proved pavements, including molasses and grass, in the streets best fitted for them Sheet asphalt will probably work well on Orange and West Chapel streets. It will certainly be smooth
 and clean for few years. And as it is easy of repair it can be repaired when it needs it.
 Of course the advocates of vitrified brick, block asphalt, wood, molasses and grass are much disturbed by the action of the aldermen and they look upon it as subversive of all the prin- ciples of true progress. But it proba- bly, isn't, and they may yet be made happy by having a street or two hand ed over to them. At any rate they have done the best they could in all sincerity and solemnity. Until this paving controversy got into full oper- alton few thought there was so much I in it.

Soon af- ter the murderers stole upon the sleep CT and killed him with one blow with a rice pounder, buried the body without finding out their mistake, and removed all traces of the crime In the morning the Brahmin was let out by his reseuer, and walked into the house to ask for his money. The assassins were terrified out of their wits and gave 1t back to him, whereupon he went to the police and informed them of the intention 10 murder him. By this time the brother had been missed, but after a search the body was found and the guilty couple arrested. The Brahmin was so impress ed by the danger he had escaped that he gave the 1000 rupees to the girl who had saved him.

A Glimpse at Sec md sight.

Several years ago I made a cam paign on the platform with MT. George w. Cable. In Montreal we were hon. ored with a reception. It began at two in the afternoon in a long drawing-room in the Windsor hotel. MT. Cable and I stood at one end of this room, and the ladies and gentlemen entered it at the other end, crossed it at that end, then came up the long left hand side, shook hands with us, said word or two, and passed on, in the usual way. My sight is of the telescopic sort, and I presently recognized a familiar face among the throng of strangers drifting in at the distant door, and I said to
 myself, with surprise and high gratifi- cation, That is Mrs. R.; had forgot
 ten that she was a Canadian" She
 had been a great friend of mine in Car son City, Nevada, in the early days. I
 had not seen or heard of her for twen-
 ty years; I had not been thinking about her; there was nothing to suggest her to me, nothing to bring her to my mind; in fact to me she had long ago ceased to exist, and had disappeared from my consciousness. But l knew
 her instantly; and I saw her so clearly that I was able to note some of the particulars of her dress, and did note them, and they remained in my mind. I was impatient for her to come. In the midst of the hand-shaking snatch ed glimpses of her and noted her prog ress with the slow-moving file across the end of the room, then I saw her start up the side, and this gave me a full front view of her face. I saw her last when she was within twenty five feet of me. For an hour l kept thinking she must still be in the room | somewhere and would come at last,
 but I was disappointed.
 When I arrived in the lecture hall that evening some one said: Come in- to the waiting rom; there's a friend ot your there who wants to see you. You'll | not be introduced-you are to do the
 recognizing without help if you can" I said to myself, ''It is Mrs, R.; shan't have any trouble"
 There were perhaps ten ladies pres | ent, all seated. In the midst of then
 was Mrs. R., as I had expected. She
 was dressed exactly as she was wher
 had seen her in the afternoon.
 went forward and shook hands witt
 her and called her by name, and said,

Edward Atkinson has done what he could to prevent waste, and he has done
 much. He has recently been studying
 the opportunities for improvement in
 the treatment of cotton on it's way to
 the gin and the bale, and he has
 reached some interesting and important
 conclusions. He cites pr. Bowman's
 book on the cotton fibre, to show that
 in the present usual treatment of the
 fibre in the processes of ginning, com
 pressing, earding, weaving, bleaching, etc., 75 per cent. of the initial strength
 of the fibre is sacrificed. Mir Atkinson says that in that 75 per cent. waste lies the greater part of the future mar gin of profit in the treatment of the cotton fibre. He asserts that the greater part of that waste has been made in the bar'barous treatment to which the fibre has been subjected in the southern cotton field upon the saw
 gin, on the muddy banks of the rivers and in the congresses. He sees in the | invention of the cylinder bale the open ing of the way to a profitable saving ! of 8 part of this waste which may | lead to results that now seem almost visionary, and which will rival in their | influence the saw-gin itself. This gin.
 great as it's service is, injures every kind of cotton staple to which it is ap- piled. The merit of Egyptian cotton [ proceeds largely from the fact that | it is not thus treated MT. Atkinson | thinks it probable that the roller-gin
 will replace the saw-gin, and save it's
 waste. The saw-gin and the various l opening, picking and carding opera 1 tions upset the flores, cross them at
 every angle, and entangle them, where
 as nature laid them somewhat straight.
 It would be great economy to keep 1 them straight, and MT. Atkinson sug- | gests that the attention of inventors be directed to the solution of this and
 related problems in the handling of
 the cotton fibre, with tie result of
 securing in the weaving a very much greater part of the initial strength of
 the fibre, thereby increasing the power
 and the effectiveness of the loom.

THE DUTY OF THE STATE.

States Care of the Poor and States Neg
 lect for Preventing the Existence of the
 Poor.
 Even during the hard financial strain of the past two years the great majori-
 ty of those who have suffered have
 been those who have never been taught
 to do anything, Or at least never been
 taught with thoroughness that makes
 instruction convertible into terms of
 dollars and cents. bread and butter.
 The generic problem of the race is to
 keep soul and body together, and the
 school problem is first of all to put the
 rising generation in the way of making
 the junction of the two possible. So
 long as the state assumes the care of
 paupers it is the duty of the state to
 use it's best means to prevent the exis- tence of paupers, and one of the most direct means to that end is to see to it that all the children in the state are thoroughly instructed in reading, wri- ting and arithmetic, and are substan- tially trained in the practice of some | form of remunerative handiwork, writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in vigorous article on "Compul- sion in Child Training in the Septem- l Der Ladies Home Journal There is work enough to be done in this big I world by people who know how. The l idea of immense wealth secured by
 some process of financial legerdemain | has so pervaded the general atmos- phere that sufficiency has ceased to satisfy, and a young man resolves either to speculate his way to fortune, or to steal some ones else fortune, or | if both these expedients fail, to turn professional idler and subsist on chari- | ty. The incentive to substantial equip | ment for the struggle of life is thus
 withdrawn. If I were the state would compel every child to acquire the
 means of an honest livelihood, even at | the risk of the whip, and then if, hav- l ing acquired that means, he failed to avail of it to his own maintenance, I would commit him to the workhouse and keep him at hard labor there till 1 he experienced a change of heart. l There is no respectable consistency
 between states care of the poor and states neglect of stringent means for preventing the existence of the poor. l If a government ought to be ''paternaT to the extent of feeding paupers 1t ought to be "paternaP' to the extent of obliging possible or intending paupers I to be able to feed themselves. The root difficulty in all this matter is the | indisposition of parents and other con- | stituted authorities to make serious l business of laying substantial founda- l tions in the early years of our young

She looked surprised, and said: But was not at the reception, have just arrived from Quebec and have not been in town an hour"
 It was my turn to be surprised now. I said; q can't help it.

A strange story of crime comes from India. A Brahmin travelling between Chittur and Nemara, in the country back of Madras, was belated and sought
 shelter for the night at a house where he was received by two Nair women. To the elder he gave 1000 rupees for safe keeping. This aroused her ava rice. and she proposed to her sister to murder their guest and keep his money. She refused, but when the elder wo- mans husband arrived he fell in with her plan. The guest, sleeping on the veranda, was warned in time of his dan ger by the younger sister, and hidden by her in an outhouse. About midnight a brother of the two women returned from journey and. seeing the house

Some missionaries get along with the heather very well. Dr. Marion A. Cheek, who went to Siam in 1874 as a mission ary, has just died. Fortunately for him, he had studied medicine in this country, and his knowledge sooh brought him into prominence. The native physicians were unable to contend with the insidi- GUS diseases of the country, and the doctors fame as a successful physician soon spread abroad. The wife of the chief of the Laws fell i'll, and the na- lives tried in vain to heal her. She was taken to the white magician" who cur- ed her, and immediately became 8 man of great influence in the country Among his patients were soon number ed members of the royal family and prominent men of Siam. A few years ago the Borneo Company found it nec- essary to carry on it's negotiations with the people of North Siam through Dr. Cheek. as his influence was greater than that of any white man in the coun- try. Honors of all kinds were showered upon him, but he never accepted an off, cial place under the Crown, although he had the refusal of many.

President Andrews of Brown univer- sity is taken to task for his assertion that Mir. Blaine considered Senator Conkling shallow" This passage from MT. Blaine's book is quoted at him: 'Srhe ablest and most brilliant man of the New York delegation in the Thirty seventh Congress was Roscoe Conkling. He had been elected to the preceding Congress when but 29 years of age, and had exhibited readiness and e1oquence in debate that placed him at once in the front rank. His command of language was remarkable. In afIluent and exu- berant diction MT. Conkling was never surpassed in either branch of Congress, unless, perhaps, by Rufus Choate."
