P0LISHERS AND MANUFACTURERS,

At a meeting of the polishers last
Wednesday it was decided to ask the
manufacturers or bosses for eight
hours and the pay in proportion as
they had been receiving for nine
hours.
They are now working nine hours
and as they we're not part or parcel of
the G. G. N. U. they of necessity
found it necessary to keep on working
nine hours until such time as the
manufacturers granted them the con-
cession asked for.
In accordance with this meeting
of the Manufacturers Pollshers asso-
citation was held last night in the
Granite Manufacturers Association
hall and although the meeting was
lengthy nothing could be arrived at
on account of the demands of the
pollshers not being accurately stated
and an adjournment was made until
such time as better understanding
can be arrived at.
In the meantime things have to
take the same rut and the polishers
will work nine hours.

H|TCH|NG POSTS
French Estate Corner Will
Probably Be Utilized
TRUSTEES FAVOR IT
The Proceeds Will Go to the
Library Fund.

At the last meeting of the board OF
aldermen the question of hitching
posts was brought up, and, although
it was asked why they could not be
placed in the rear of the schOol-house
on Church street, it was finally de-
cided that the best place would be the
ground at City Square corner, now be-
ing held for the purpose of placing a
public library thereon, provided that
it could be secured.
This was good suggestion not only
for the centrality of the location, but
also. for the great benefit accruing
therefrom for the library. The plan
suggested is to have a fence placed
around the lot and one gate as an en-
trance on Elm street, with man to do
nothing else but take tickets for adj
mission.
These tickets must not be sold by
him but by one or two merchants
nearby, and a nightly accounting
made to James NJ. Perry, one of the
trustees.
In this way quite large sum could
be added to the library fund, and at
the same time give place to farmers
and others wishing such convenience
for the hitching of horses.
The trustees have been interviewed
on the subject by TELEGRAM report
err and although all are in favor of the
plan still they cannot say much until
such time as meeting is held to see
what can be done.
Another drawback is the residents
who have lately built around the
park. They claim that the rear of
their houses were to be kept clear
from all distractions, and just at
present are making kick against an
old barn standing there and which
the trustees rented to a party never
thinking any harm would come from
it.
The builders and occupants of these
houses around there are people vino
are very anxious for public library,
so there is not a particle of doubt but
what they will give their permission
for place for hitching posts when
they arc convinced that revenue will
be taken therefrom for the benefit of
the library fund.
Besides these three trustees there
are 50 others intesested, those who
signed the voucher for the erection
of the building, or to make the build
ing of the same certainty; thus max
ing ~ merchants who are interested
so far as the ground and the handling
of the same is concerned. Owing to
this fact the trustees cannot do any
thing until they have fully consulted
amongst themselves and probably, if
necessary, call meeting of the bal
ance of the members for whom they
are acting.

Industry OF Ants.

In the matter Of industry, ants can
compare, and not unfavorably, with
bees Of the proverbial sort. Indeed,
there seems no end to their ability,
for in South America some of these Gu
rious little creatures were lately dis
covered to have burrowed tunnel no
less than three miles long. In India
there Is a red species SO small that a
dozen of them have to band together
IN order to carry grain of wheat.
In spite Of this, however, they will take
grains thousand yards to their nests.
Another interesting instance Of an
ants industry was the result Of re-
cent experiment. An ant was placed
in a saucer with some larvae. So anx-
ious was tho little creature to carry
them to the nest that it worked with
out pause from six o'clock in the morn
ing until ten at night, and as the re-
suit no fewer than $50 Of the larvae
were so conveyed.-London Express.

A novel exhibition Of the cause OF
thundershowers was once given So

one of the inhabitants. "Do you know
what makes thunder?" the Nova SEQ
tian inquired Of his guest. "I've got
theory OF my own, and call it a pretty
good one" II should ike to hear it,"
was the diplomatic reply. "Well," said
the host, slowly, my idea is this:
You know we hear about the air circu-
lating and circulating oil the time.
My notion is that the pure air from
above comes down here in summer and
gets foul with all the smoke and dirt
and grease; and then the heat drives it
up again into the clouds; and when it
gets up there it's pressed on all round
by the clouds coming together, and it
explodes! That's my theory; OF

zDe-;cao stuaenrn IN England.

The number Of American historical
research students who have visited the
archives of this country during the
present year IS stated to be exception
ally large. and the subjects upon which
"hey have been engaged are. as usual
remarkable for their originality and
interest Indeed, American historical
professors who cultivate the seminar"
system with such admira bic results ap-
pear to have positive genius for select
ing subjects which lend themselves to
further e,ucidation from unedited MSS.
At the present moment the subject
most in favor is the development OF
exceptional Jurisdictions, such as the
palatinate of Durham and the star
chamber, together with the great eco
nomical problems connected with the
inclosure Of commons. the survival OF
bondage, the history Of great trading
companies and the emancipation OF
colonial trade. On all these and other
important questions much good work
has appeared or may be expected
Such exemplary labors furnish still
further indication OF the activity and
success of the new school OF American
history, which bids fair to rival the
schools of France and Germany in its
scientific methods, while retaining
Anglo-Saxon individuality OF its own.

Meaning OF Canafd.

The word canard does not only mean
tho water fowl beloved by gourmets; it
also signifies little lump Of sugar
dipped in brandy and often taken by
the fair sex with their after dinner cof-
fee. Jourualistically It implies bit Of
pseudo news, which owes more to the
imagination than to the sense Of verac-
ity Of the author. The accounts Of the
distortion Of the original sense OF the
word into it's journalistic meanings
are many. One thing is, however, GER
tain. Three centuries and three-Quar-
ters ago the news criers Of Flanders

England yeneratea the Oak.

It is only too true to say that our
state forests have been neglected and
mismanaged in the near past. Alice
Holt and the New forest are instances
in point. Then there is Windsor forest,
which has also suffered in the same
way. In many places oaks were being
grown where there vas no prospect Of
their ever becoming good trees. The
soil was, unsuited to these trees, though
capable of growing excellent Scotch
pines. There are plenty Of goods in

erty OF private individuals, where the
ground IS oak-sick, yet the owners

sort of tree. A tree which 10 now very

Debts Inherited in India.

L Is the universal custom all over
India for man whose monthly income
is perhaps three dollars to spend as
mich as $500 on the marriage Of his
daughter. This sum he borrows from
the local money lender. a veritable
blood-sucker, whose minimum rate OF
interest is "a per cent, which IS only
accorded to thoroughly well-to-do peo'
pie. The ordinary peasant, small shop
keeper or domestic servant pays one
anna per rupee per mensem in the wa,
of interest. and as 16 annas go to the
rupee it will be seen that this works
out to IS per cent. per annum. AS
rule, It is more than the borrower can
do to pay of this interest, and so the
debt goes on growing and is handed
down from father to son, a terrible Load
which is never got rid on. Z.
