INTERPRETING HARMONY.

One of the most interesting signs of the times in Connecticut is the hearty agreement between distinguished preachers and distinguished lawbreak- CTS concerning the evils of "the spy system" It is not often that these gen. @tlemen are in harmony in their ideas about anything that has to do with the enforcement of the law, but we find them now in full accord. They are pro- foundly impressed with the danger that turks in "illegitimate methods" of de- tecting crime. They will not give such methods their countenance and support. So far they are in complete union. The distinguished lawbreakers are perhaps prepared to go a step further and re- fuse their countenance and support to any method of detecting the lawbreak- ing that they find it profitable to carry On, but if they do this they will prob- ably have to part company with the distinguished preachers, who, if we un- derstand them, are still prepared to say a good word or two for open, gentle
 manly and respectable attacks upon laWbreaking. A
 "Illegitimate methods" is a good wide phrase. It is also a. good wide way t, attack the Law and Order league by limiting or saying that some of its meth ods have been illegitimate and then falling back on personal or professional
 dignity when asked for a bill of par ticulars. IT the impression can be ere ated by the distinguished lawbreakers and the distinguished preachers that some of the methods of the Law an1 Order league have been illegitimaltA that will end the league. If this should be the result of the present perform ance, and if the distinguished law breakers and the distinguished preach CTS should find themselves harmonious ly glad of the annihilation of the league, then, we suppose, wisdom would be jus tiffed of her children.

for repairs or renewals, one line be- ing in reserve, It is estimated that four-nfths. or 80 per cent, of the elec- tric power developed is transmitted to Sacramento along the bare copper wires strung on poles, The twenty per cent. of loss could be reduced, if neces- sary, by using heavier wires, but with the enormous water power at Folsom 1t is not desirable to increase the ex- pense of copper wire beyond a cer- tain point. The electrical energy from Folsom is used to propel street cars in Sacramento, to Illuminate and heat the city, to run the machinery and presses of the state printing office, and to operate stationary engines through out the city. Two factories for the manufacture of boots and shoes are soon to be established in Sacramento.

who continue to ride hard long after they are rationally certain that they will shorten their lives by doing so, just as there are others whose nuner- ous accidents have so confirmed their indifference ito danger, that, like the hunting parson who bequeathed his skeleton to the Royal College of Sur geons, because every bone had been broken at different times, they go on, nothing doubting, till the end comes in the course of nature. Major Whyte- Melville is said to have been keenly alive to the danger of his favorite sport and even to have expressed a wish that his death might take place, as it did, in the hunting field. There are num- bers of quiet, determined mem who ride hard and straight, though with the same consciousness of danger which Major Whyte-Melville entertained, and without any of that magnificent stuqid- ity which makes some of the heroes of the saddle the dullest men on earth. Many more like the late Bay Middle the world, never give the risk a thought but go orl in ahounding physical exu- berance, until like him, they are killed outright, or get fall which unnerves them and leaves them de classes for the rest of their hunting career. What the proportion of such accidents is to the number of men who hunt regularly, and as a matter of course, for the greater part of their lives, has not yet been de- termtned London Spectator.

It is even applied in the building trades, it not being unusual to see on the streets a mortar mixer attached to an electric wire leading from a pole. The restau- rants cook by electricity; tine butcher employees it to chop his sausages, and the grocer to brind his coffee. The housewives run their sewing machines and heat their flatirons by electricity; they bake their cakes in wooden electric cake ovens that cam be set away on the shelf like pasteboard boxes. They have electric boilers, broilers and tea kettles.

ton, or one can be repeated, as desired, or selections can be made from the list. The bells are an inch and a half in di- ameter, and range from six feet to three and one-half in length. They are to be suspended by cat-gut strings from a board, and the mechanism that works the hammer is to be neatly boxed in. The hammers are to be cov- cred with soft leather, and there will be one, two or three hammers with each bell.
 A loud, soft or very soft tone can be secured by an adjustment of the ma chine. Mr. Olney will adjust the ma chine to give the correct phrasing by an arrangement of the pins on the cyl- finder. The machine will be made with interchangeable parts. MT. Olney will go to Europe to get a machine to put the pins in the cylinders, and the new instrument will be put on the market in a few months.

A Woman's Waist.
tFrom Harpcr's Bazar.l

It is a matter for rejoicing that fash- ion is no longer to decree a slender waist as something indispensable to propriety and grace. The natural waist of the woman of average height is about twenty-eight inches, and any less size is attained only through ar- rested development, or compression by means of whalebone and steel The amount of room inside these twenty eight inches is absolutely needed for the proper working of the machinery of the internal economy. In spite of this fact girls very often bind the yielding ribs into such narrow compass that the waist measures twenty or twenty-five inches only, and you will now and then hear some mother of a family, with a very different waist now, boast as if it were something to be proud of that when she was nineteen her waist meas ure was nineteen too. It is, however
 of no use to talk to young people about the injurious effect of compression on stomach, heart, lungs, liver and the ar- terial system They are not anato- nlists, and they do not comprehend the matter nor want to do so; they observe that they feel as we'll now as they did before, and without weighing the thought that it requires time to work ruin, take 1t for granted that they al- ways will feel as well, although they have been told and taught that in post mortem examinations it has been found that wherever tight facing has been the rule, every organ was out of place and seriously injured. But al- though 1t does move them a trifle to be told that red noses and eruptive skins and flat chests are to be laid to the &C., count of the too slender waist, yet on ths whole neither common-sense nor auld- wife wisdom nor doctors have the power of conviction that fashion does, and when fashion says that there is no beauty in a wasp's waist, but that the lines of nobility and health made by deep breathing are the really lovely lines, fragility being something rather to be feared than loved, why then~fra- gility begins to be avoided and the lines of the Venus de Milo. of the Dia- na, of the Pallas, begin to come in.

A New Musical Machine.
From the Springfield Republlcan.l

(From the Springfield Republican.I
 An automatic tubular chime has been invented by Allan E. Olney, Of Hol- yoke. As the name indicates, the tub- ular chimes are made with new tubu- lar bell, and the people who have heard the bells in clocks will appreciate the beauty of the tones that can be secured in the new machine.
 The machine is a combination of the bells and a striking arrangement con- sisting of a set of hammers and cyl inder fitted with pins that set the ham mer at work The pin cylinder can be run by a weight, coil spring or by an electric motor. It can be controlled from any part of the building in which it is set up by means of a set of push buttons. The machine is designed to be set in the top of large railways, and this enables the full power of the bells to be secured. The number of bells will vary according to the number and scope of tunes that are to be played, and the machine will be built with from eight to seventeen bells and with either twenty or forty tunes, as de- sired.
 By an ingenious controlling device that NIT. Olney has attached to the ma chine, it will be possible to have the en- tire number of tunes played in rota-

WH4T CAN BE DONE.

What has been done at Folsom. twenty -four miles from Sacramento, California, shows what cam be done right here in Connecticut when any, body gets ready to do it. A dam was built across the American river at Fol- som, and a stream of 85,00o cubic feet over double turbine wheels, where power is created for the mammoth near at hand. The water is used fur ther down the valley for irrigating acres of land. Tn the dynamo room are four three-phase alternating current 1000 horse power, the shafts of which are coupled direct to the shafts of the four water wheels. These dynamos are the largest in the world, with the exception of those at Niagara Falls, and weigh about 70 tons each. The electricity developed by these enor- nous machines is passed through raising transformers, which increase
 the voltage to 10000 volts, at which pressure it passes through the wires of the transmission lines. There is a double-pole line all the twenty-four miles from Folsom to Sacramento, thereby guarding against any delay

The mind of the esteemed Register seems to be running nowadays on throw-downs, falls, overthrows, and ruins. No wonder. The condition and prospects of the Registers party are melancholy enough to make gloomy a mind even more insouciant than the Registers mind. We wish we could speak 8 word of cheer to our young friend and neighbor. but it is difficult to pick out a. word applicable to its sit uation that will be both honest and cheering. About all we can honestly say is that we hope our young friend and neighbor will not get a throw-down from either Gilhuly or Clancy, and that it will by and by succeed in crawl ling out of the ruins which have already fallen upon it.

the opened skirt. This pettiooat is of plain satin, festooned with lace. A stomacher of lace, either woven or cut to shape is applied over the point of the bodice. The sleeves are not extremely large and the edge of the low neck is set off by fiat and fitted collar of lace. The general effect is a very pretty combination of the empire with the petticoat and stomacher idea, and is extremely becoming to folks who need to emphasize their height.
 Lace is more used than ever, and the idea of cutting up one lace to applique its design upon net of a contrasting color is carried out with all sorts of grotesque and elaborate effects. Lace patterns thus cut out of their mesh are also laid over silk or over short-nap fur, and held in place by an outline stitchery of metal thread with very beautiful effect A newer favorite among trimmings is white satin, which is seen on every hand, and with all sorts of management. On the dress pictured here it takes quaint shape, and is appliqued with silk braid It trims dress of gray cloth whose bod ice front Is draped the fastening com ing at the side. It's bias back is plain and its sleeves are arranged in very deep folds. FLORETTE.

France will make some significant changes in the harbors of Brest and Cherbourg. At the latter place one of she three ways leading to the roadstead has been completely closed and another has been made much narrower. At Brcst 8 cover has been erected in the roadstead, protected by two jetties, be- hind which vessels may ride at anchor with comparative safety. The plans originally drawn for the improvement of these two harbors were not carried out in their entirety, for reasons of rines of the Chamber of Deputies has decided that it is now necessary to com plete the work along the original lines, and make the harbors as perfect ports of defense as possible. For these pur- poses 12,30O,00O francs are to be ex- pended. Of this amount, 4,200. 900 francs will be used to lengthen the western dike of the Cherbourg roadstead 800 metres, and S.1OO,OoO francs to complete inc work in the Brest roadstaad, &C., cording to plans already approved by she Chamber of Deputies When these changes are made, with those already completed, France will have two more defensive ports, which will add greatly to her strength in case of war.

FASHION NOTES.
A Model for Short Women.

Those to whom the empire dress Is becoming may still indulge in it, and will find it especially suited to the new brooades. One model that is carefully adapted to the latest mandates of fashion is constructed from striped brocade plain satin and lace, The bodice is low-necked in the back, and fits to a. little below the shoulders, while in front it points down to a little short of the waist line. The skirt is set on the bodice following the slant downward from the back to the front. Just this little slope gives the grace and slenderness that the usual empire obliterates. The skirts come round to either side of the point of the bodice in front, leaving the little point to rest, stomacher fashion, on the under petH- coat that shows between the edges of
