cation, said on the subject of the earn
ings of the self-supporting poor that,
as the average wages of the 10000 600
working men in manufacturing and
mechanical industries were $500 a
year, and that, as an average Of at
least two persons depended for sup

lowed that on the average three per

ne PUBIC interest DEMANDS It-FeT-
sonaI Opposition.
The changes recommended, adj
ministrative and otherwise, by Gov.
Crane in his inaugural address to the
Legislature, seem to have made
reasonable progress. with the promise
that within a few weeks more they
will take statutory form. One OF the
governors suggestions, which has
aroused a little personal feeling, was
the desirability of having a divorce
declared between savings banks and
national banks, to the extent that the
treasurer of savings bank should
not be the president or cashier of
national bank, but that, if two institu-
lions Of this kind existed in a town or
city, they should be maintained quite
Independent of each other. OF course,
the reason for this recommendation
was obvious, and its realization will do
away with a temptation to wrOngdOing
to which men holding fiduciary posi-
tons should not be subjected. The
proposed change was not to take eff
feet for two years, in order that o read
justment Of official condition might De
made. There are number Of persons
in this state who are now drawing
salaries both from savings institutions
and national banks, and it was thought
desirable that time should be &C
corded to those thus placed to adjust
their affairs to new conditions. But
when this adjustment has been made
it will be found that the sacrifices are
confined to the experiences of a few
individuals and that these are hardly
as the dust in the balance when
weighed against the establishment of
a broad public principle.-Boston Her

sRAIOING OF PALM-LEAF HATS.
An Old Village Industry That Might
be Revived With Profit.

| found palm-leat hat the other
day, so fine, so light, so desirable in
many ways, that next summer am go
ing to have it bleached, pressed, and
trimmed to wear for a shade hat
While examining the beautiful plat
ing | began to wonder why those in
terested in the manufacture of hats
and the revival of home industries do
not bring about a renaissance of the
dying art of palm-leaf hat braiding.
The palm-leaf hat made out of the
finest leaf is as beautiful, if not as
durable, as the coarser variety of
panama, and much less expensive.
In skilful hands the hat can be con-
formed to almost any block that
would be of suitable shape for a
shade hat. 1 cannot give a complete
history of the palm-Ieaf hat industry
as it existed in northern Massachus-
etts, New Hampshire and Vermont
40 or SO years ago. but l can give a
few facts connected with it, that
may be Of interest to the people of
this generation.
Inc NOAuAhSl CIdl pdlu-ISal came
from the West Indies in great sacks
made out of strands of the palm per-
haps an inch in width. The cured
palm leaves, yard or more in length,
were split into different widths by be-
ing drawn over very sharp knives
Each width of straw was designated
by number. Thus, a hat braided of
No. leaf was of a medium grade OF
fineness. 1t was usual for the mer-
chants in country places TO combine
the business of store keeping with
that of giving OUT leaf, and to pay
for the braided hats, after deducting
the value of the Ieaf. from the con-
tents of their stores, convenience Cor
the customers. and a source of profit
TO the storekeepers. Hat dealers
employed men to go about the coun-
try from house to house putting out"
leaf. The advent of the hat man was
more exciting than that of the tin
peddler in isolated places. for the
former paid cash for the hats that
had beer. braided since his previous
visit. There was as great differ
ence il the size of the hats. and in
the Qt.ality of the braiding, as in the
people. Blocks were not used to
shape the hats. but certain stand
ards were given by the hat men.

Hiuhest of Waterfalls.

The highest waterfall in the world,
geography tells us, is the Cerosola
cascade, in the Alps, having fall of
2,4O0 feet; that of Alvey in Savov, is
LOO feet, and the falls of Yosemite
valley range from 700 to 1000 feet.
But higher yet is the waterfall in the
San Cuayatan canon, in the state of
Durango, Mexico. 1t was discovered
by some prOspectors ten years ago,
in the great barranca district which is
called the Sierras Desconocidas.
While searching for the famous lost
mine, Naranjal, a great roar of water
was heard. With great difficulty the
party rushed on, and up and down the
mighty chasms until they beheld the
superb fall that is at least 5000 feet
high.

Wine agents have a much harder
routine than beer men for the reason
that they are obliged to attend swell
dinners. where food of quality richer
even than that encountered by the
beer agent is placed before them.

imagine that food of this sort ought to
be conducive to health, but unless a

stand it.
'sYou ask me how much beer | used
to drink in a day. That is a hard
question to answer. There were times
when. I suppose I drank as high as 6S
or rs glasses, schooners, etc, il day
Another very bad feature about the
work of a beer or wine agent is the
number of cigars he will smoke in q
day.

take cigar, and sometimes while
holding the cigar in his hand, he vii

such life you will see Mr.. Beer Agent

Novel Uses of Glass.

Complaint is made of brass
weights when used in kitchens.
These complaints have been met in
Switzerland by the governmental
authorization in 1897 of weights
made of a special kind of glass,
almost unbreakable. They are conf
cal and end in a knob on which the
value is engraved. 1t is well known
that the developing fluids used in
photography spoil very soon in con-
tact with the air, and that they can
therefore be preserved only In fulI
bottles. 1t is thus necessary to de-
cant them as fast as they are USED
into series of smaller and smaller
bottles. M. Gaumont, head Of the
well-known firm, has devised a plan
by which glass balls are put into the
bottle, one by one, to keep it full.

ENGLAND's QUEEN OF THE RoAr


A remarkable Woman's TrIumphs in
the Stage-Coaching Days.
WOman's entry into many profess
sons formerly occupied exclusively by
men is comparatively recent. yet indi-
vidual instances in the more remote
past of women of irrepressible native
ability who pushed their way in the
world are not wholly lacking Such
woman was Ann Nelson, hostess of
the Bull inn. Aldgate, London, known
all over England as a proprietress Of
COacheS-the queen of the road OF
so years ago. Coaching rivalries were
at that time as intense, and We're
fought out as fiercely, as are the COM
mercial battles between rival rail-
roads in our own time. Mrs. Nelson
threw herself heart and soul into the
exciting effort to surpass all Compel
ing lines, and she succeeded. There
were no better-hOrsed, swifter or
more punctual coaches than her IA
nous Quicksilver" phenomenon"
Courier" Red Rover" and De

But great risks were taken to
achieve success, and tranquility of
mind and safety of body for her pas
sengers could not fairly have been
included among the inducements Of
fered them. Everything was sacri-
feed to making time. On the Ipswich
road, where the rivalry was specially
acute, her coaches covered their 20
miles in So hours, and sometimes
less. Only thoroughbred horses were
used: pairs Of leaders were stationed
at every steep hill, with boys in the
saddles and men to hook on the lead
er traces, even before the coach
stopped. Both lines had stables ev-
cry six miles.
At the changes, fresh horses were
out and ready as soon as the coach
was sighted; when it stopped four
men sprang to take out the exhausted
team, and four more to put in the new
one. The reinS were thrown to the
driver, who was not permitted to
leave the box. A minute and half
was allowed for the change-then

CLARK FOR CHAIRMAN

The democrats hope to win the house
this year and they want a vigorous
business man to have charge of the
campaign in order that they can put
up stiff fight in every doubtful dis
trict in the country.
Senator Clark has shown himself to
be an indcfatigible worker in his sen.
atorial position, and the democratic
leaders believe that he will fill the bill
as chairman of the congressional COM
mittee. The suggestion of his name is
most favorably received by the demo-
cratic leaders.
