TOM THUMBS TITLE.
The Name Was Given by Bnrnum and <, the "GeneraI''s by Order of
 .t,s. Queen Victoria.

< Countess Magri, formerly Mrs. Tom Thumb. in paper in :, the October Woman's Home Companion entitled ''The Recollectionsgof Midget" gives the following account of how !. the famous dwarf came by his name.
 "In speaking of Mir. Stratton, have used the name Gen. Tom Thumb. for by that name the public best knew him. Perhaps a statement of how he received his title will be of interest a story which even MT. Barnum has neglected to make known, but which Mir. Stratton himself told me. When MT. Barnum frst@ made his acquaint- ance and persuaded his parents to all low their child to travel it was thought 8 good scheme to introduce him to the public. as. Tom Thumb So as Tom Thumb he was heralded by all the skill which mads Barnum so famous, and by that name he was in troduced to Queen Victoria and many of the royal and titled frequenters of St. James.
 "'On his first visit he had amused the queen by asking particularly after the prince of Wales, and when he was the second time summoned to appear at the palace he was presented both to the prince of Wales and to the princess royal, who afterward became empress of Germany. As he stood beside the children his smallness was more mo- ticeable. The duke of Wellington was present, and noticsd this fact, evident ly with much interest, as he said to some one standing near:' - Their roy al highnesses are, head and shoulders taller than Tom Thumb" This re- mark the general told me, was over
 heard by the queen, and turning to the duke she said: Gen. Tom Thumb. Rowing low to her majesty the duke | game me the military salute, re- beating the title, Gen. Tom Thumb .''
 Everybody bowed, and although l
 did not fully comprehend then that
 her majesty's simple say-so could
 make it unchangeable. found that
 ever. after that was always addressed as general

Heres a- condition or things tHdt people residing outside of Connecticut find 1t difficult to understand-and no wonder. Within the limits of each Of these eleven towns independent and separate city and town governments are maintained. In most cases the in terests of efficient, compact and econ omical government would be promoted by the consolidation of the municipal and town administrative machines. Two distinct local governments oper- ating largely, within the same territory and having functions. so kindred that it's sometimes difficult to tell where the duties of one government leave off and those. of the other begin, represent cumbersome and unscientitic way of doing things. . s.. .-
 In several of these communities, notably Waterbury, Meriden and New Britain, movements of greater or less | intensity for the unification of the du- al system of administration are period ically made, but haven't yet perched on the peach tree of triumph. In the towns in which consolidation has been accomplished the logic of experience
 has abundantly justified the simpler
 administrative program. and desire to
 return to the old plural scheme of ad-
 ministration there's nene.-Hartford Post
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-26

Any American statesman who can clearly see the interest of his country in the future must be convinced, says a well known staff correspondent of one of our New York exchanges, as was MT Blaine, that American com merce must seek to thrive and prosper by pushing English commerce to the wall. We are England's greatest and most dangerous commercial competi- tor. There is not room for both of us. England cannot continue to ab- sorb 90 per cent of the worlds com merce if America is to get reason able share. All the new markets that can be reopened will not furnish as much trade for our aggressive mer- chants as the old markets that Eng land has so long and so selfishly mo- nopolized. Germany has found that she cannot expand her foreign, trade without taking good deal from Eng land. And the United States will be driven by. the, same necessity to the same practice. Now, England is hurt most severely when hurt in the pock- let, and Englishmen hate most thor oughly all who strike them there. But this very thing we shall have to do. The continuance of our much-vaunted prosperity under Mckinley will tone us | to hit England hard. And are we fools enough to think that she will bear it meekly, or return our assault with love? Nothing of the kind. She will
 inevitably become our enemy in few years, as bitter and as virulent as she l was in 1861. And it is certain that the course of eyents-our destiny, in fact will drive us into a war with Eng land sooner than with any other na-
 tion, unless our administration orders our soldiers to fire on somebody, as it
 did at Manila, or, unless England is toe | cowardly prudent to venture on dis
 astrous fight.

FINDS A COIN ON BEDROCK.
KIondike Miner Discovers a PuzzlinR z Relic of a Prehistoric Race
 ~t.in Alaska. E. =.


 Fourteen feet below the frozen sur face of the earth, at the head of Big Skookum gulch, a remarkable coin was found recently by miner named Hen ry Nicodet. While working with two companions Nicodet sank to bedrock, the last five feet of digging being through an ancient glacial mass of ice. Lying on a fold of the bedrock, he found a coin that is puzzle to the archaeologists and numismatic ex- perts. .-. ... -..-as~ .t>.~. .,t.
 The coin, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, is about the size of copper cent, although not more than half as thick. It is apparently made of brass, or some, combination of copper and zinc. Both sides are covered with strange characters and the edges are milled, artistically. The coin does not appear to be worn at all, the edges of the hieroglyphics being as sharp and | clear-cut as the lettering on a new SEQ gold piece. The coin was made with a | die. y. .
 The story of the finding of the coin by Nicodet is youehed for by his two conI- panions. If their statement is accept- ed as true, it means that previous to | the glacial epoch the coin was washed | down the gu1ch with the gravel and sand of Big Skookum, and finally found | resting place where it was discov- cred ages afterward, for, from the time of the ice age this country is supposed to have remained frozen, the underly- ing muck gravel and broken bedrock never having thawed or become free. The coin indicates that the pre- glacial inhabitants of this country were toll erably we'll advanced in the arts and sciences; that they understood the art of smelting and refining and combin- ing of metals; that they were sutii- 1 ciently civilized to construct dies and to manufacture coins; that they pos sessed a written language, and that they had passed the4st agefof barter and realized the heed of circulating me dium. If all this is granted it must be presumed that they were correspopd- ingly advanced. in other respects. Tha Klondike miaref digging for gold may be uncovering the. relies of once pow erful and civilized racs.4@i sah SE
 Accepting this coin as a genuine relic of prehistoric race, the question arises whether 1t has been tran nsported by glaciers long distance and finally lodged in Big Skookum, or whether il originally belonged to people inhabit. ing this region.

F Itsmay seem almost self-evidentY that one of the secrets in: conducting min ing operations, says q writer in the New England Engineering Magazine so as to secure . maximum of profit the point naturally to be aimed at-is to get the largest amount of work that is possible cut of each man employed,
 without sweating" him. but at the same time without overpayinS him; and to secure the most useful enect that. can be got out of the Tarious machines in use, up to the full limit of their capacity, in the shortest pos sible time, without. overta1ing them; that is to say, speaking generally, 1t depends on making the best use possi- ble of the men and materials, placed by circumstances at the disposal of the manager of a mine. Obvious as this proposition may appear, however, it is apparently by no means always rec ognized, or acted upon in practice. Managers, indeed, often seem to fail to grasp the fact that the value, wheth- CT of men or machines, is the profit transla ted into money which their work represents when spread over a given period of time; consequently, the net profits or loss resulting from the I undertaking is the difference between
 what I may term the profitable and
 unprofitable units of work" accom-
 plished in the aggregate. If the for
 mer exceed the latter the business as
 a whole must necessarily be profitable and vice versa; but it is often the case
 that individual carelessness or depart
 mental inefficiency may reduce, If not
 entirely wipe out, profits actually
 earned in other directions, in whict
 work has been executed with greater
 relative economy.
