crease of typhoid thus far in 1896 being T in excess of that Of the correspond ing period in 1895. This is very nearly the death rate per 10000 of population of the year 1889, immediately preceding the typhoid fever epidemic of 1S9o-'92, The present proportion of deaths from typhoid fever is 3.17 per cent of the total from all causes. In 1889 it was only 2,67 per cent. Health Officer Reil- ly pointed out to the council that the le- gal value of human lives sacrificed to typhoid fever in Chicago during the past twelve months amounts to $3,75O,- Oo0. The actual money cost of medi- cal treatment, etc., of the cases will easily raise the sum to $5,000,O00. In Duluth suit has been brought against the city water company by a wife Tor the death of her husband. She alleges that impure water caused his death. If she recovers damages, pr. Reilly asked, what precedent might not her success furnish for suits against the city of Chicago.

The men would not move around, but the force would. This is like the elec- tric circuit
 Place a rubber band around finger, and begin to twist it. The twist seems to run round the ring, starting in one direction, coming back in the opposite direction, like "positive' and mega tive" current, though it's direction is really the same. The twisting force represents a dynamo; if you twist one way continuously, it is like the con- tinuous direct current; if you twist to and fro, it is like the alternating cur rent, first in one direction, then in the other. If you stretch the rubber band, and put two pins through it on either side, the pins will rotate like motors and in opposite directions These are simple analogies of applied electricity. What we know of electricity as a sci- ence and as an art, can best be learn ed by tracing our knowledge from it's beginnings Electricity, by R. R. Bowker, in Harpers Magazine for October.

tulle, the latter being brought apout the neck and shoulders as a scarf But about the most striking characteristic of the new millinery is the frequent use of birds of paradise plumes Two such plumes mark as new and stylish the hat of this picture, and do 1t rather more effectively than any other trim ming could at present. These pictured plumes were black and were on a hat of dark blue braided felt. large but terf1y bow of blue silk ribbon was placed across the front brim, and at the back were two large rosettes of the ribbon besides the dropping plumes,
 This hat was made to thoroughly harmonize with the dress it accompa- nied, and the latter was quite up to the formers high standard of fashionable ness. It was from dark blue peau de soie, it's skirt trimmed with narrow bands of blue velvet ribbon, it's bodice ornamented by bands that started from the center seam and ended in buttons near the front. Then there were lace revers and epauletes, and the sleeves, which were shirred along the inside seams. had double puffs and lace rut- fies at the wrists. FLOREIl IF.

FIRE AT THE CRISIsL

Brave old General Taylor being in- formed that ''the crisis of the battle was approaching shouted Fire at the crisis!" George F. Parker. United States consul at Birmingham, mades the following apt applice ton of the old Generals command: The Democrat who loves law and his countrywide believes that honesty must still be hon. est-does not need even to see the ex- cited, wild-eyed, and be-sashed captain of anarchy and repudiation coming his way to know that it is his duty to fire at the crisis. Whether he does 50 on November 3 with one barrel or both may safely be left to inclination, good sense, or necessity.
 It is the duty of all patriots, regard less of party, to fire at the crisis. Ii should be filled as full of holes as it is of wickedness and wind.

4 GRAND lL4RCH.

New Haven was as thoroughly Re publican last night as it will be on election night. There was a long and impressive line of paraders, and there was a great and impressive crowd of spectators. The parade was a great success from start to finish and there was a pleasing absence of the impolite demonstrations which recent events had led some to expect.
 It was a grand march, but 1t will be exceeded in grandeur by the march oi the Republicans of New Haven to the polls on November third to cast theil ballots against dishonor and disloyalty That will be the most cheering sight ot the year.

MPOTATO,, PINGREE,S PLAN.

Perhaps the most honorable title that Mayor Pingree of Detroit has won or will win is Potato" He was truly and sensibly philanthropic when he started in to help the poor of his city by giving them the use of unoccupied land for farming purposes. His potato patch commission has made it's report for the last summer, showing the scheme to have been successful again, ! as it has been for several years past The commission had at it's disposal last spring AIS acres of land, which was apportioned among 1,700 heads of fam | flies, representing 1873 persons in all | The report shows that with an outlay of less than s2,300 for seed and other expenses there was produced about 45,- | 900 bushels of potatoes, besides a quan- tity of beets, cabbages, corn, beans, etc. At the market price the commission figures the potatoes to be worth nearly $25,000 The average yield of potatoes to each family is over twenty-six bush l els. The work of the last summer is ] considered by the commission to be most encouraging and beneficial. It is estimated that the saving to the poor commission of the city for the coming winter will be at least $25,000
 This Is real charity. Potato" Pin gree's plan to help the poor has been adopted in some other cities than De- troit. It seems well calculated to work well and helpfully in any city.

Very Rev. w. II. Fremantle, D. D., dean of Ripon, England, has become an ardent wheelman, In reply to a ques- tion the other day what he thought of cycling for the clergy, he replied: "As the diversion to the thoughts of busy man it has great advantages, and need not take up so long 8 time as most forms of exercise. To the clergy it is especially useful. If the weather and the proficiency of the rider are such as to enable him to ride without getting too much heated, the cycle should be useful both in parochial visiting and in going to distance on clerical duty. And on Sundays?' "There seems to be no reason why it should not be used by the clergy on Sundays, except that it Is as yet unusual" was his answer. Reports have been published recently of another trial of the cotton picking l machine. Some years since the same apparatus was tried near Dallas Texas, but with imperfect results. It was
 shortly afterwards withdrawn from the 1 public view. The second experiment took place in Sebastian county, Arkan- sas. Of the performance witnessed on | this occasion better things are said
 than were generally expected But the
 machine is still defective. It operated 1 successfully only where the cotton was | at uniform elevation on the plant
 The improvement made since the first
 trial was in the manner of drawing or l pulling the staple from the boil. At | the Dallas trial the removal was ac-
 complished by means of brushes, which
 revolved about the displayed seed. The
 brushes have been replaced by suction tubes,

FASHION NOTES.
Drapery for women,s Heads,

The trick of incorporating a pretty scarf in the headdress is being revived.
 Such revival is frequent occurrence,
 and the only reason the fashion does not hold is because few young folks have the ease and grace to manage the scarf well. She who can do so is sure to have among her finery a scarf or so,
 and remember, you who think 1t not worth while to learn to carry a scarf so that it does not look like fish line, that with the scarf you can wear ball gown that otherwise would not seem quite new or fresh. The scarf idea as attached to the headdress is sure to gain in favor, for what could be more becoming than such soft cloud con- ing down from the back of the head about the throat and then trailing off over one arm, to appear again towards the hem of the gown?
