List. nut NOT LEAST.

1t has been many moons since
school district meeting in New Haven
was as large as the one held last even
ing, and perhaps no such meeting has
been more vocifercus. It was made
plain at the meeting that there are
many people in New Haven really in
terested in the schools and their cost.
Much of the talk was right to the point,
and if any of it was too pointed no
great harm was done. 1t is high time
that school affairs were discussed with
vigor and directness, and if there could
be some more such meetings as that of
last evening they would do good and
help to clear up the situation. But
there will be no more, because the
meeting was not adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman, and the Won
drous new charter says that latter this
act takes effect no meeting of the New
Haven city school, district shall be held
lor Any purpose Whatever, except tne
meeting that was held last evening.
Perhaps, however, if the citizens get in
terested enough they will be allowed to
get together somewhere and talk over
their school troubles and triumphs.

Russian b1ouses are galore. In them
is little chance for variety, so far as
the backs are concerned, but all sorts
of changes may be rung on the front.
1t may fasten well to one side, as did
the Russian blouse of some years ago,
and be finished there by 81 perpendicu-
lar frill under the overlapping edge.
Or the fullness of the baggy front may
be modified by a yoke effect in front,
the yoke extending to the belt in fiat
piece which may if length of effect is
desired, extend below and over the belt.
Such yoke and piece is invariably heav-
lily braided. Hussar frogging may be
applied to the front and bagginess be
almost obviated except where the gar
ment apparently gathers into the belt.
When the blouse is applied to a dress
bodice it may be split up the front to
show an inner chemisette of another
material, or may be set on delicate
or transparent yoke, or even be adapt
ed to low-cut dresses.
When the blouse is to serve as an
outer garment the double breasted side
may turn back at the corner to show a
handsome facing of fur. While at
present most of the outside blouses are
cloth heavily braided later outer gar
ments of this cut will be in all the
more EXPENSIVE furs, in astrakan and
in pushes and velvets, the latter in
brilliant co1ors as well as in black. In
the brilliant colored pushes the effect
will be heightened by rich bullion braid
ing, jewel incrustations and rich fur
The result will be beautiful and rich
and for suitable occasions, as sleigh
ing, skating and outside wear over re-
ception gowns, highly suitable.

j TEMP ERfNCE LECTURE.

Mr.. James Whyte of the United King
dom Alliance thinks he has found an
important connection between stringent
liquor laws and the death rate of Swe-
den and Norway. He says that for the
twenty years before 1894 the average
death rate per 1000 persons living in
Sweden was 17.5 per annum, and the
rate for Norway 1853 per 1000 per an
mum. The consumption of alcohol by
the Swedes in those years amounted to
the equivalent of about 2.65 English gal
Ions of proof spirits per head per an
mum: that of the Norwegians to about
Its gallons. Their death rate decreas-
ed gradually with the gradual decrease
of the consumption of alcohol. Mr..
Whyte was unable to find the death
( rate of Norway before the temperance
legislation. but obtained the rates foI
| Denmark and Sweden respectively fol

that the temperance law in Sweden was

fully into operation. For the decenniun

bear six cars, and none has fewer than
four ears. Al this rate it is figured
that the average yield to the acre would
be about two hundred and fifty bush
els. Above the ears the stalk continues
three or four feet, and is topped with
an elaborate tassel. The husks sur

UNUSUIL BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.

UNUSU4L BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.
Business is business, but it is encour-
aging to notice that occasionally bust
ness is not done in the most sordid way.
For instance, there is a manufacturing
concern in Dayton, Ohio, which is con-
Quoted in a liberal and humane way,
and yet seems to be prosperous. It's
buildings cover five acres and the per-
sons directly and indirectly connected
with it number 1000. The company
makes patent machine, and by it's in
dustrial organization maintains a con-
slant interest on the part of all it's
workmen. 1t has no use for superin-
tendent, an executive committee hav-
ing charge of the business and a sub
committee having charge of each de-
partment. The proprietors, these COM
mittees, the heads of departments and
their assistants meet regularly once a
week for conference concerning bust
ness interests. The comfort of the en-
ployes is never overlooked, and an in
terest in them is constantly manifested
by the concern. Three hundred women
| are employed, and they are required
to work one hour less per day than
| the men, have a recess of fifteen min
utes morning and afternoon and free
lunch every noon in the administration
building. In this building are LUNCH
reading, rest, bath and toilet rooms for
the use Of the workers. There are more
! than a dozen clubs and societies among
the employees, which take the name of
| the concern, for culture and recreation,
athletic, dramatic, wheel and musical
clubs, singing society, relief association
and band, all of which are given in
viting and comfortable meeting places,
and which in turn furnish no end of free
entertainment for those of other tastes.
In still other ways this business is
unusual. The company has a reposi-
tory for the reception of complaints
and suggestions from everybody in it's
employ and divides in prizes $3.50 semi
annually among those of it's workmen
who make the most practical sugges-
! tionssfo the good of the concern. For
these prizes the heads of departments
or their assistants are not allowed to
compete. The company finds that this
arrangement is both wise and profita-
BILE. Six times a year it gives it's en-
ployes an opportunity to listen to prac-
teal and helpful lectures at the ex-
pense and on the time of the company.
The company looks after the sick, and
takes a live interest in all who take an
interest in their work and contribute
to the success of the concern.
That a business SO carried on can
be successful is against some of the
rules of what is generally called and
believed to be business, but it is pos
sible that many business men might
find profit as well as comfort in doins
business more humanely.

Farmers in this fertile country who
are sometimes unable to make both
ends meet would do well to study the
methods and processes Of Belgian farm
ers. Six million of people in Belgium
live on territory about equal to the
State of Maryland, and a farm of two
acres is enough to support man and
his family and enable him to lay by
something for a rainy day. An article
in Colmans Rural World tells some
thing of the methods of the Belgian
farmer and gives an interesting insight
into rural thrift and economy in the
most densely settled country Of Europe
Describing the typical two-acre farm
in Belgium, the article says the thrifty
Belgian makes the most Of every inch
by heavy manuring and allowing no
waste places. A patch of wheat or rye
and barley, another Of potatoes, etc.,
and other garden truck, even the slop-
ing sides of the bitches for irrigation
being utilized, and the general result
is that with thrift and economy the
farmer provides about everything his
family needs except few groceries
and clothes, while the surplus products
more than supply his other wants and
leave a balance to his credit, which
grows each year.

Colorado Coal Mine Horror.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Sept. r.
The bodies of ~ miners killed by coal
dust explosion in the Sunshine mine of
the Colorado Fuel q Iron company, Is
miles southeast of this city today were
brought to this city and prepared for
burial.
Coroner Clark impaneled jury which
viewed the remains.
The force of the explosion completely
crushed each bone in the IL bodies, s o that
the remains we're merely mass OF flesh
and bones and as easily rolled into knot
as though composed of yarn.
Three of the dead miners, Louis and
John Audvetta, and John Jonimi, leave
families.
The two entries below the one in which
the accident occurred had been worked
out.
These two covered distance of 600
feet above the level of the creek.
The slope, which proved the deathtrap,
is usually the working place of 40 toilers.
Yesterday the main force were en-
ployed in entry four, $50 feet above the
level where the explosion occurred.
The explosion broke away the stop
page from the lower worked out slopes
and the two working Slopes were at once
filled with deadly black damp.
An idea of the force of the explosion
can be had from the fact that timbers, %
inches in diameter, we're twisted and
broken as though mere pipestems.
The local superintendent, Ben Davis,
lies dangerously i'll from the effects of
black damp, breathed while bringing out
the dead bodies.

A HEARTRENDING STORY.
Death Df Two Children in Kentucky
from Rattlesnake Bites-One
Was Real Hero.

Danville, Ky, Sept 4.-Willie, aged z,
and Eddie, aged 8, sons of Matthew Cox,
a farmer living near Mannsville, Taylor
county, met with terrible deaths from
rattlesnake bites today.
They we're playing hide and seek with
some other children. Willie ran into the
bushes. Eddie heard cries from his little
brother, and, hsstening to his aid, found,
as he at first thought, that his head had
become fastened in hollow old stump.
In trying to pull the child from the
stump, Eddie discovered that four big
rattlers we're biting Willie time and
again. Eddie reached in for better hold
and was himself bitten repeatedly.
The cries of the two children attracted
some men and they were finally rescued.
One died in Ave minutes and the other
In ten minutes. The four snakes were
killed.
