ular trips, and street railway traffic
NAL condition.
The streets are IN a deplorable condi-
ton in all parts of the city. An accu-
mutation of slush from to inches in
depth, swimming in surface water, is
the order of things in most of the
streets. Park street is in particularly
bad shape, and at the corner of Park
and Portland the motormen on the Mill
bury and Spencer cars are obliged to
get off their cars and splash around in
the slush and water to find the switch.
AS one of the men said Tuesday after
noon he thought it would be necessary
to have a search warrant in order to
find them if this state of affairs con-
tinues. Under the Franklin street
bridge the water stands in pool va
ring from two to six inches in depth.
One of the men at work on the tracks
of the Millbury branch of the Worcester
and Suburban road found a catch basin
at the east end of the bridge Tuesday
afternoon, and succeeded in punching a
hole down through the mass of slush
which filled it, and allowing the water
to run off.
On all the streets in town the same
condition of affairs exists,
Miniature lakes form in every depres-
sion in the streets, a condition of af-
fairs not particularly to be desired.
The venerable wide-spreading elm in
front of the residence Of r. G. Tiffany,
293 Pleasant street, was badly shattered
by Mondays storm, the heavy ice break
ing down several of the large branches,
and the tree will have to undergo liberal
trimming of the other branches

BEAUTIFUL JAPAN.
Exquisite Pictures Shown at the Last Of
Burton Holmes Lectures.

It was certainly charity on the part of
Mr.. Burton Holmes to change the gray
skies of New England into the sunshine of
Japan, as he did so delightfully."- Tuesday
evening, when he gave the last of his il
lustrated lectures on travel at Association
Hall. Beginning with Toxic he pictured
interiors with nothing to worry the care
full houSekeeper Then, going without the
houses, he told of the wonderful cherry
trees, bare and gray all the year round,
except for short season, when they are d
mass of pink and white, and all japan
keeps holiday. In it's season comes the
wistaria, great clusters of purple flowers

He spoke of the royal household and the
upper ten" in western dress, and con-
trasted them unfavorably with the grace
tu native costumes worn by all the rest of

from the fifteenth century and stands

temple was swept away. Kioto's streets,

ners, quiet courtesy and lovely colors of
Japan, and nowhere visible the flood of
western civilization. Even the little rail-
roads and miniature telegraph poles are
hidden in the luXuriant green cf the trees
and grass
A journey through the inland sea and
view of the sacred island at sunset ended
the most interesting of the lectures that
Mr.. Holmes has given. He said little of
the art Of Japan, though he showed
picture of a man at his work coloring Jap
anese lanterns, and remarked that all the
workmen We're artists. He did not touch
upon the Industrial development of the
country, which has caused such apprehen-
sion in the west, but perhaps all was COW
cred with the remark that the thrush of
western civilization is quite hidden from
view. His pictures were beautiful beyond
description.
The motion pictures included the Prince
fering congratulations to Queen Victoria
outside Of st. Paul's at her recent jubi-
lee.

There are many geniuses and in
ventors hard at work today on de-
vices for saving time and money,
and one might say that daily the
product of their thought is placed
before the world in machines that
seem almost human in their work
ings. The chief essential In saving
time is to acquire Il system, and OPP
orators placed before new me-
chanical invention quickly establish
a systematic method of working it
and eventually find a way of i'm
proving on it. These men seldom
profit by such little improvements,
but their adopted systems suggest
valuable ideas to the outsider, upon
which he realizes. This is evidenced
by the following:
Years ago, in the cotton mills, the
bobbins of the looms used to catch
the tilaments of cotton and clog the
machinery, necessitatinga stoppage
of the works to clean up. This was
q loss of both time and money. One
man, however, seemingly dull fell
low, found way to keep his bobbin
free, and his loom never had to shut
down. The owner of the mills, one
Mr.. Peel, father of Sir Robert Peel,
noticed this, and obtained from the
man his secret for an agreement
which, financially, amounted to
next to nothing. He simply chalked
the bobbin, thus preventing the
threads from sticking Peel adopted
this idea, and invented machinery
Tor the sole purpose of chalking the
bobbins, and patented it. He real
lied fortune from it, and gave the
original inventor handsome pen
sion. --Harper's Round Table.

The Gcrrymaptler a Grave Evil.

1.-THE use of what is called the
'gerrymander' in order to obtain an
undue party advantage in the cleo
ton of members of the house of rep
resentatives has become public re-
l,roach,' writes ex-President Harri-
SON, discussing congress in The La
dies Home Journal. 1T is the max
ing of unfair congressional districts,
not having relation primarily to
population and to the geographical
relations of the counties composing
them, as they should, but to party
majorities in the counties, with the
object of giving to the party max.
ing the apportionment n fraudulent
advantage. The districts are made
up to be Republican or Democratic,
as the case may be, and the voters of
the minority party are cheated out
Of Il fair representation in the con.
yressional delegation. This is a
grave evil. But it may be doubted
whether it would be cured or even
much ameliorated in the long run,

for his own country leads him, after
tie manner of all patriotic travel
ers, to vaunt it a little. An amusing
instance of this kind is related by Il
correspondent of the New York
Post, writing of a visit to Grey
triars' churchyard at Edinburgh.
The sexton was a man of Aber-

showing the visitor the grave of
Duncan Ban Macintyre, Gaelic
poet, and in interpreting the Gaelic
inscription on it, as if it were the
chief glory of his charge. His heart
was in the highlands plainly. The

old man pocketed his fee:
