During that time is determined whether or not he is to be of robust health and strong intel lect. During that time, his mind and body are started on the path that they will follow through life Circumstances may inhu- ence him, but ke cannot get away from the effects of pre- natal influences.

In the appropriate column in this issue will be found the announce ment of Mr. John T. Marsh as a can didate for County and Probate Judge subject to the action of the Demo cratic primaries on April g. Mr. Marsh was candidate two years ago for the same position against the presenn incumbent, but a second term being conceded, Mr. Marsh was defeated. Mr. Marsh says that he believes in rotation in office and is an anti-third termer, and that fl he is nominated and elected he will not be 8 candidate for @ third term. MT. Marsh has been a citizen of this county for twenty years, and during that time has been Q consistent Democrat. His life has been an open book and he stands on his rec ord. He feels that he is thoroughly familiar with the needs and require ments of the office to which he as pires, and if nominated and elected, we have no doubt but that he will make a competent and honest pub lie servant.

How Her Correspondence Abroad Was
 Much Facilitated.
 Mrs. Olney, wife of the secretary of state, recently put her Yankee wits to work and evolved an invention which has been q revelation to the postoffioe department That institution never un- derstood the full value of the special de- livery stamp until its powers were de- veloped by down east wit. Mrs. Olney's discovery may prove of value to other people who find themselves face to face with the situation which reused that la dy's shrewdness
 She had daughter living abroad. Letters from her were always received just too late to be answered by return steamer of the same date. After pug zling over it some time Mrs Olney, who was living ill Boston at the time, queried the postoffiee authorities as to wheth- CT a special delivery stamp. placed on a letter, mailed in foreign country, would be delivered any quicker for it on this side. The answer finally came that un- less the special delivery stamp was can celed before it landed here it ought to be delivered as any other letter similar ly stamped. Accordingly one of the United States special delivery stamps was placed on the next letter mailed in Germany to Mrs. Omey Under it in German was the direction, "This stamp is not to be cancelled in Germany ;
 The scheme worked perfectly. The letter arrived ahead of the time of pre- vious ones and an answer was sent back by steamer sailing the same day Many letters have since been sent in the same manner and the special stamp always does it's work as desired Chicago Chronicle.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
Machine Which Measures the Velocity of
 Cannon Balls.


 Among the recent inventions in the art of photography is that of the polar izing photochronograph made by Pro lessor Albert Crehore of Dartmouth col lego and Dr. George o. Squire. first lieutenant of the United States army. now stationed at Fortress Monroe.
 The wonderful effects of the photo ohronograph will probably be demon. strated to tho general public upon the completion of this instrument in the spring. John A. Brashear, an astro- nomical manufacturer of Pittsburg, has been given a contract for one of these wonderful machines. It is to be set up at Fortress Monroe, and will be used the coming summer in testing the ve- loeity of the modern rife projectile, as 1t swiftly speeds from the mouth of the great guns made by the United States ordnance department Mir. Brashear says it is expected that the machine will be completed by the middle of April, as the government officials desire to have it about the 1st of May.
 This instrument not only measures the velocity of the swiftest cannon ball in it's flight, but measures it inside or outside of the gun and at any part of its course desired, to degree of accu- racy hitherto undreamed of.

 Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, has rendered distinguished public service in calling attention to the monstrous extravaganza of the United States Senate. There are ninety Senators, and, according to Senator Chandler, they have 353 employees to wait upon them at a cost to the Government of about $482, 900 year. That is to say each Senator, besides his salary of $5, 900 q year. must have attendance cost ing $5, 355 a year.
 According to the same authority, there are 121 clerks 10 committees in body numbering only ninety persons. There are also ffty-two laborers in the employ Of the Senate, but it has not yet been discovered what labor they perform. Though the Senate Chamber is guarded by Capitol police, there are fifteen po- lieemen on the payroll of the Sen ate
 All of this looks very bad. The public cannot understand how it costs over $5, GOO ayear for attend ants for each Senator. The fact is that there is system of nepotism among the Senators-and Repre- sentatives too, for that natter which is heavy expense to the tax payers. In other words, the Sena- tors are quartering their relatives and dependents upon the country at an annual expense of nearly half million dollars to the people.
 IL is to be hoped that Senator Ghandler's exposures will compel Q reform. And while this inVestiga- ton is going on in the Senate, let some active and fearless mem Der of inc House turn on the search light in that body
 Altogether it costs entirely too much in this country for legislation
