MORE MONET WANTED.

Connecticut has better legislature than some of the States, and it also has a noble Capitol that was built within the appropriation for 1t. How fortunate she has been in this respect is indicat- ed by the experience of the State of New York, whose Capitol Is not yet finished, and if 1t ever is 1t will stand as a monument of extravaganza and fraud. That Is, it will thus stand if 1t is not so poorly built that it will fall down. When 1t was begun 1t was to cost $400O, 0OO. That was more than twenty years ago. It has cost up to now $21 1000, 900 and it will probably cost about $S,0OO,000 more. The supervising commissioner who has been long draw ing about $4O,OOo year for supervising the work, estimated five years ago that he could complete the building with s2,0OO,0OO It was voted. When 1t was gone he asked for $2,0O0,0OO more. This, too, has gone. Now he asks for $2,5oO, 900 more, to finish the job. When this has gone he may want more. It is now urged that the completion of the building be provided for by contract. If any contract could be made that would put an end to what has been going on the State of New York could we'll afford to make it.

named as the cause of much of this un- cleanliness, and for this reason the work of the Cigarette league among the boys is encouraged by the teachers. The use of tobacco is forbidden, of course, on the school grounds and in the buildings, but occasionally boy Is found who has indulged himself so far as to become unfit for study, so sleepy and languid in fact as to be hardly able to sit erect at his desk. The teachers are expected to take such cases prompt ly in hand, and to try, first by persua- sion and later by discipline if necessary to break up the habit which is weaken ing the boys physical and moral pow CTS. How far this personal work should be carried on by the teachers, and by what methods, are questions which are being discussed by Boston teachers, particularly in connection with the school work of the Evangelical All aace.

The Dreamer.
By John Boyle o'Reilly.

ny John Boyle OReilly. am tired of planning and toilinE, In the crowded hives of men; Heart-weary of building and spelling And spelling and building again. And long for the dear old river
 Where l dreamed my youth away, For dreamer lives forever,
 And toiler dies in day. am sick of the showy seeming
 Of life that Is half a lie; Of the faces lined with scheming
 In the throng that hurries by. From the sleepless thoughts endeayor l would go where the children play; For dreamer lives forever,
 And a thinker dies in day. can no feel no pride, but pity
 For the burdens the rich endure, There is nothing sweet in the city But the patient lives of the poor. Oh, the little hands too skillful,
 And the child-mind choked with
 weeds! The daughters heart grown willful, And the fathers heart that bleedsl No, mol from the streets rude hustle, From trophies of mart and stage, I would fly to the woods low rustic, And the meadows kindly page. Let me dream as of old by the river, And be loved for the dream alway; For a dreamer lives forever
 And a toiler dies in day.

 The array of materials is now very inviting. Grenadines have never been more cloud-like, and If the faded silk of the winters ball gown can serve as a foundation for the summer organdy, then the material Is we'll indulged in. Otherwise, if the necessary silken lln- ing must be bought, the organdy is by no means as inexpensive a material as its own slight cost would imply. Cot tons in crepe effect are so cleverly woy- en that they seem almost like silk. A finish is put on the thread that is a splendid imitation, But consider the wash tub, get little sample and try it with soap and water before investing! One new summer material is woven in lengthwise puffs set between bands or stripes of satin. All sorts of variations are carried out upon these lines, the puffed material frequently being of transparent stuff of a color contrast ing with the plain stripe. The goods adapts itself admirably to use in sleeves and loose fronts, no further ela- boration being needed. FLORETTE.

Talslng oourtesies for Granted.


 Some people seem to possess the idea that gratitude is only called for where some special attention is shown, where the courtesy is one of magnitude, writes Edward w. Box in the April Ladies' Home Journal. Whether it is that we are growing to much accustomed in this country to doing everything on a large scale, or whatever it is, the fact remains that we are altogether to prone to disregard the little courtesies of life as eourtesies The most subtle thought Is often shown in the smallest atten- tion. We all know that the greatest pleasures in this life come from the smaller things--not from the larger. Again and again have seen this re- n1issness on the part of people. A man shows some little attention to wom- an, and it goes unnoticed. A young man shows courtesy to a girl, and it is received as her right. Hospitality Is extended, and remains acknowledged. Letters of congratulations are written, and go unanswered. It is in these smaller things that we are lacking in the true spirit of gratitude. We take them for granted, absolutely forgetting that nothing Is ours by right in this world; that whatever comes to us in the way of attention, be it ever so small is an attention and comes by favor wish that girls particularly might think a little more of this. One hears great deal of complaint among young men nowadays that girls accept courtesies altogether too much as their due Our girls should get over this habit of taking things for granted.

AHARMFUL FRAUD.

Astonishing as 1t may seem there are men who are willing to take even more advantage of American manufacturers than the Deficiency tariff allows them. The Textile Manufacturers Journal learns from a special agent of the treasury department that the govern ment is being defrauded of large sums and domestic manufacturers are suffer ing from a degree of competition never oontemplated, even by the framers of the Wilson tariff bill, by regular sys- tenn of undervaluations. Dealers in French and German goods are said to be the worst offenders in this particu- lar. but the Journals informant claims that many representatives of English firms are engaged in the work. It is said that it is not uncommon for the dealer in imported goods to be quoted a. regular price and a. price at which the goods will be invoiced and certified to by the resident consul. As an ex- ample an actual instance is cited: Reg ular price 3s. Cd. goods to be invoiced for duty purposes at 2s. Sd. This would effect a saving Of ten cents a yard quite a considerable sum on goods of this value.
 Between the Deficiency tariff and the Undervaluation tariff the outlook for American manufacturers is somewhat cloudy.

FASHION NOTES.
New Gowns All ln Tngs and ratters.

New Gowns All in Tags and Tatters.
 The craze for cutting up everything continues and spring dresses should be literally in ribbons to be just the thing. One of the newest skirts is made dou- ble, silk beneath and crepon over. The crepon swirls intact like any other skirt from the hem to the knees, There 1t is slit into ribbons and these merely emphasize the swirl of the thus dis closed underskirt of silk. That by no chance any material may be saved, the stripes of crepon disappear under the slit of the skirt to appear above and hang back to the knee again, all free to wave in any vagrant breeze. The gown shown to-day responds to this craze, though not to so great @ degree. Its material is black and rose pink striped silk made princess and fasten- ing invisibly in the back. The skirt is banded with a cream lace ruflle headed by ruchlng of black chiffon, and two black satin bows with long, perky ends

NOT THE WORST.

If ts the fashion to "cuss" the Con-
 necticut legislature for the way 1t does
 or does not do business, but 1t is eer- tain that the legislature of this State canat hold A candle for carelessness and ineflciency to the legislature of In- diana, Concerning that legislature 1t is asserted that those who have re- ported the sessions for several years know that not one bill in twenty is ever read through carefully before either house, One of the first things the reading clerk learns is to skip whole pages in reading a bill. The presiding officer always winks at this, because it 'expedites business" Bills that have been favorably reported are always printed and laid on the desks of members, but few members ever read bills through. The member who introduced the bill is usually depended upon for a statement of its provisions. Under the present system, it is not made the duty of any person or committee to examine each bill carefully for errors in phraseology or legal defects Many of the errors also. are due to the negligence or incompetence of en- rolling clerks. Each house, to be sure, has a committee on enrolled bills, whose duty it is to see that they correspond with the engrossed bills. But these committees rarely do their work con scientiously. The members of them are always engaged with other duties. The clerks play cards and set the pages to copying statutes! No wonder, there fore, that blunders are made. Bills, moreover, are drafted oftentimes by men without knowledge of law, appre- citation of the force of language, or experience in legislation. No wonder, therefore, that they abound in inoon- sistencies, antiquities and faulty lan- guage.
 And so forth and so on. Evidently the Connecticut legislature is a peach compared with the legislature of h. diana,

Consul Monaghan calls tlhe attention of the American people to a German in- vention, which Is to completely revolu- kionize steel-chain making in all parts of the world This machine does away with the welded joint and secures uni- formity, rapidity and increased strength by rolling. This new machine, Mir. Monaghan says. resembles somewhat the machine or roll that sinks inn- pressions in hot or steamed wood. The rolls ara four dn number and are so situated and arranged that they work simultaneously on the curiously joined dron bar, cutting it into links. The bar is at a white heat while passing through the machine, and is cut, joined and moulded at the rate of from three No four yards of chain a second. The chain Is taken from the first machine and after being cleaned is run into 0 furnace, heated red and run through rolls to perfect the shape of the links. This machine-made chain is craimed to be better than the hand-welded, Wrought or welding iron is not required, as fused irons and steels can be used in 1t with better results.

Boston schoolmasters have been dis cusslng the vices which are to be found among the pupils of the public schools, and they are agreed that lying Is the error into which the girls most readily fall, while the boys are subject to the vice of uncleanliness. Girls are seldom notioeably coarse or profane in their speech. Even the girls who come from homes where profanity is habitual seem to consider the strong language used by their fathers and brothers unsuited to feminine lips, but deceit and untruth are easy vices for girls to lcarn and hard to conquer. One Boston teacher said that her girls cared too much about creating a good impression even to use coarse language, and she believed that their habits of deceit came from the same desire to please
 With the boys the teachers find diffi- culty in forming habits of personal neatness. They are careless, and are quite apt, among the lower classes es- pecially, to be filthy in person, dress and conversation. The tobacco habit, which prevails too extensively, may be

Tn 1854 Pat Montague appeared at the mines at Moore's Flat, California, and for three years was miner, in no respect distinguished from the other miners except that he was more moral and conscientious than most of them He saved money and went to Paris, to the Seminary of St. Sulpice. He came back priest, and was assigned to Virginia City, which was then a roar ing camp. The principal street was a line Of saloons, gambling houses and worse. While he did not make every body a saint, he showed himself to be a man of heroic and saintly mould, and it would have gone hard with any one who harmed him. Then he was made Bishop of Sacramento, and when he died the other day many gutter aoafer in Virginia City who used to know him shed tears for the first time In years.

He could not recol- feet the values of the letters d, q, g, and y, and in reading was obliged to spell out every word like a child. He had also lost the numbers 6, and 8, and could not work out any example in simple addition containing them.
