Ex-GovERNoRs OF STATES.

Of the surviving governors of Vir- ginia, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is the best known.
 Of the surviving governors of Massachusetts, the most prominent in public life is Secretary Long, three times consecutively elected governor of the Bay state, and now secretary of the navy.
 It is a somewhat curious fact that, excepting President Mckinley and. Senator Foraker, whose official resi- dences are in Washington, majority of the surviving former governors of Ohio are now residents of New York city.
 There are six surviving governors of New York: Cornell, elected in 1879; Cleveland, elected in 1882; Hill, first elected in 1885; Morton, elected in 1894; Black, elected in 1896, and Roosevelt, elected in 1898. Three of the six, after having been governor, attained honors in the field of na- tional politics. Cleveland as presi- dent: Hill as senator, and Roosevelt as vice president.

FARMING III ALASKA.
Investigation Shows That Its Agri- cultural Resources Are of Con-
 siderable Importance.

Coming back to Alaska, Uncle Sam, as we'll as the engineers, is doing his part in making that land habitable, says the Little Chronicle. The agri- cultural department has established experiment stations above Sitka and in the Yukon valley, and they have found many places where the vege- tables and grains and small fruits may be grown and many more where cattle and sheep may be raised Indeed Daw- son is no more than a hundred miles farther north than St. Petersburg, and the most northern point of Alaska is in the same latitude as Hammerfest, Norway, town of 2.500 people. Ger tain parts of it-the seacoast and the great valleys-are warmer than Si- beria, which, being chiefly a country of frozen plains, is exposed to arctic winds. If Norway, Sweden and Fin land are self-sustaining countries, raising grain, root crops, live stock and carrying on fishing and numbering, there is no reason why Alaska should not also become a busy country filled with people engaged in other indus tries than mining.

HOW FLIES MULTIPLY.
Their Increase Limited Only by the Amount of Food Accessible
 to Them.

Fly time is here, and the English scientists, through their eminent Lan- cet, have been giving some timely thought to the infiction, and warning people against the pestilence. It is ad- mitted that disease is carried by them, and the public is warned to destroy flies.
 Flies multiply atas prodigious rate. Given temperature sufficiently high to hatch the eggs, their numbers are only limited by the amount of food available for them. Linnaeus is cred ited with the saying that three meat flies, by reason of their rapid multipli- cation, would consume a dead horse quicker than would a lion, and the fact that certain diptera having some outward resemblance to the honey bee lay their eggs in the dead carcass es of animals probably led Samson and Virgil to make erroneous state ments with regard to the genesis of honey and the manufacture of bees.
 In three weeks it seems probable that female fly might have some 25,- 000,000 descendants in the course of a hot summer. Other varieties of flies multiply still more rapidly
 As flies multiply upon and in or ganic refuse of every kind, it is ob- vious that the sooner such refuse is placed where it cannot serve for the feeding and matching of flies the more likely is the plague of flies to be lessened.

Evolution of the Hat.

According to the Washington Times, the hat of the modern American is a more or less direct descendant from the ancient helmet. The shape of a derby could have been evolved from nothing else, and it has little save tra- dition to recommend it. It is not beau tiful or comfortable, as compared with the cowboys soft felt hat or the cap of the European peasant. It does not keep the ears warm, nor stay on with any degree of success, and it goes out of fashion every season, reappear- ing later in slightly different form. It's sole recommendation is the tradi- ton that it is the proper headgear for civilized and enlightened man; and when it is cooked on one side of the head of rowdy it does not make him look either civilized or cultured.

HEADGEAR FOR WOMEN.

This is the season of the Mexican hats.
 Sprays of pink hawthorn charm ingly adorns some of the modish exam pies of millinery.
 The country girl will find she is be- ing catered for most lavishly, and all the leading milliners are showing de- lightfu1 straws in burnt and various brown shades, for boating and cycling, simply trimmed with colored foulard and silks or several shades of taffeta ribbon.
 A simple and pretty hat is trimmed with black and white ribbon of the finest of fine checks, having the eff feet of gray, It is carried around the hat in folds, having the familiar triple fence effect, not meeting at the back, but carried over the rim, tied once un- derneath, the ends fringed and hang ing close to the hair. The shape is a rolling sailor, and there are glilles at the side.

Street Car Amenities.

This Is one of the car stories which it is a pleasure to hear occasionally. The woman belonged to the lower class. Her hands were unmanicured- very much so-and her fingers covered with rings. She was a large, aggres- sive woman, who looked as if under all circumstances she could take care of herself. Unfortunately, such women do not limit themselves to getting merely their rights. They are apt to encroach upon the liberties of others. This, at any rate, is car practice, and the woman, like other men and women of better breeding, was sitting side ways on the seat and monopolizing at east a seat and half. She was sit ting in this way when a gentleman en- tered the car. He was gentleman, and entered quietly, walked up the car quietly, and took seat which chanced to be beside the woman. But careful y as he took his seat he accidentally touched the woman on the shoulder She turned upon him like tiger.
 ''Do you mean to kill me ?'' she cried. savagely.
 He lifted his hat and answered in courteous tone while the passengers who had seen the incident listened eagerly.
 Ut would give me great pleasure to go to your funeral, madame, for then there would be one less rude woman in the world. .''-N. Y. Times.

Death and Prostration From the
 Heat Yesterday.

 Eugene Gallagher, a small son of Patrick Gallagher, an employe of +. l.. Hitchcock s hardware store, died yesterday, owing to the extreme heat. Some time previous the child had been suffering with sickness, which he had not in all probability gotten over. MT Gallagher has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
 George Freeman, the well known colored man, was prostrated by the heat yesterday. For some time it was feared that MT Freeman would not re cover from his stroke, but the efforts of those present saved him.
 At noon yesterday the thermometer registered at 100; at-5:35 D. m. the mer- cury had fallen to 76.
 The regular meeting of the fire de partment was held last evening. Owing to the slim attendance and the heat it was decided to adjourn until next Wednesday. At this meeting ac- tion will be taken on the invitation received to take part in the parade 1n Torrington in August.
 The board of education meeting for last evening was postponed, owing to heat and no attendance.
 William Maxwell is home from New York for a visit to his parents. On Monday he will leave for Jacksonville, Fla in the interest of the company for whom he is working.
 The Watertown machinists who were among the strikers have returned to their work.

1ndi.est;on of Loneliness.

At a time like the present, when the marrying age of the average man of the middle classes is being more and more postponed, the physical ills of bachelordom become increasingly under the notice of the medical man, says the London Lancet. The experi- ence of countless generations, from the red Indian of the woods to the white-shirted diners of modern par ty, has perpetuated the lesson that a man should not eat alone, nor think much at this time, but should talk and be talked to while he feeds.

The Rest of It

 The grand procession marched all arrow Through the town in brave array, But somebody else enjoys the show A thousand times more than they. On his gallant steed the captain bold,
 A splendid sight to see,
 But somebody else, if the truth were told, Had a prouder Fourth than he. And the band, too, all the afternoon
 Discoursed it's music sweet, But somebody's feet rFayed merrier tune AS they followed it down the street. And the brightest thing that glorious day Was a dear little freckled face That peeped from under the curls astray And the torn hats jaunty grace. For when we measure delight and jog, This rule is the surest one: That the very tiniest little boy
 Has the largest share of fun. -Zoeth Rowland. in Youths Companion

The object of the experiment was to learn in what cases reading is least hurtful to the eyes, and so how to prevent short sightedness and the fatigue we have all experienced, says the Little Chron- icle.
