As USUAL, AND MORE.

As the wise ones expected would be the case, Mayer studiey was reelected yesterday. but none but the very wisest ones expected that he would have as big plurality as he got. Many who had been in the habit of voting for him voted against him, but their defection was fully made up by others who are perhaps just starting the habit.
 The result so far as the rest of the ticket was concerned was hardly look ed for, but it came, and indicates that some of the talk of trading wasn't straight. It was a famous victory. Once more the efficiency of the New Haven Republican organization is shown and also the incfhciency of the New Haven Democratic disorganiza- tion.

The man who can make some things grow where none grew before. or can make more things grow where some grew before Is benefactor. The ben evoIent and benefieent United States government spends nearly three-fourths of a million dollars a year in maintain ing scientific experiment stations to promote agriculture in this country, and there seems to be no doubt that the money is well and profitabIy invested. It is only eighteen years since the first experiment station was established, but since that day the agricultural products of the country have been increased in value of two billion dollars. Just how much Of this increase is due to this work cannot be stated, but there is no doubt that much of 1t is. The advan- tage' of this government work is that 1t removes the experimenting to the scientists and whatever gain is made is realized by all who read and farm. One of the practical results of scientific ag- ricultural research that will appeal to the layman was recently given out by Prof. c. F. Curtiss, director of the Iowa agricultural experiment station, who points out that the addition of single extra kernel to the ear of corn and to the head of smaller grain would make an increase to the nations yield of 5,oo0,ooO bushels of corn, 100000 bush els of wheat and 20,Ooo,O0O bushels of oats

PURIFY OF rnh 1KnA cH rove uE.

PURIFY OF TIT. EIskA CIT T0NG UE.
 In 1891 the French Minister of Edu- cation, in circular addressed to his in- spectors and examiners. directed them not to lay undue stress upon minor ' mistakes in spelling, and especially not to try to trip up pupils with irregular verbs, odd plurals, anomalous genders, and, in general, the out-of-the-way forms and words in the French Ian- guage. This was followed in 1900 by another circular, along the same lines, and finally by what may be called a government decree, inasmuch as it was issued by a governmental head making sweeping reforms in the more compIi- cated parts of French syntax. Natur- ally, to the latter decree, which was is- sued on February '26. 1901, the French academy, which by historical right re- gards itself as the conservator of the French language, took exception. Re- gently the committee appointed by the Academy to consider these government al attempts to reform the French lan- guage held a meeting to consider it's report upon the subject. The move nlent toward simplification of French orthography and syntax has now gain ed such headway that it is probable there may be no decided attempt upon the part of the Academy to stem it. The Forty Immortals, however, will not abdicate, and may, by giving limited assent and approval, preserve to them selves at least the shadow of their inn memorial rights as custodians of the purity of the French tongue.

OLDEST BELFRY IN AMERICA.

Seven -Century-old Fir Tree Used by
 the Episcopal Church at Tacoma.
 The oldest belfry in the United States and one of the oldest church towers III the world is the spire of St. Peters Episcopal church i'll the outskirts Of Tacoma. This church supplies, also, what is perhaps the first case on record in which a congregation selected beifry and built the. rest of the church around it. Although the spire is made entirely of wood, it is now seven hundred wears old, and will probably be standing when many comparatively new iron and steel helfriesi have been razed !, 7 '.
 Forty years ago the pioneers of Taco ma. organized a church society :. They selected site for their place of worship in a forest of Douglas fir trees that skirted inward for many miles Out os these immense, shaggy parked trees that lowered upward for two hundred feet, without branch below the upper half. they chose one eight feet in diam- eter to serve as the steepie.
 When the branch bearing portion of the tree had bsen cut away to prevent the falling of limbs in case of a storm, there was left bare trunk nearly one hundred feet high. Beside it there was built a plain little structure. The bell was fastened to the tree and the little church, with it's enduring steeple was complete,
 Tn later years the. women of the con. gregation planted English ivy at the base of the tree, which in time not only shrouded the steeple in thick green

RiRALESS C00KfAG,

Consular Clerk Murphy, of Frank fort, Germany, reports that the 'hay- box has solved in Germany the prob lem of a tireless stove. Food is brought to a boiling heat for several minutes in covered vessels and these covered ves- sels are then placed in a box filled with hay, a pillow is laid over them, and the box lid is made tight. The hay keeps the pots warm for many hours, during which time the cooking process con- .tinues, with the result that nine-tenths of the food is saved. The pillow has to be dried, of course, after each use, and the hay has to be kept dry and renewed when it becomes moldy. Food can thus be cooked with a short, sharp fire before breakfast and will remain hot all day.
 Mrs. Back, director of the industrial school of Frankfurt, recommends the hay-box. She says she has been using the hay-box for thirteen years, and it has greatly reduced for her the cares and worries of housekeeping. At first she used the box merely for the pur- pose of keeping finished food warm but it was not long before she discovered the process of cooking continued in the box. She thereupon extended its use, making q series of experiments which resulted in pleasant surprises. She soon found that she could finish in the box all boiled and roasted meats, sauc- es, fish, soup, vegetables, fruit pud- dings. etc. Of course the box cannot be used for beefsteaks, outlets pam cakes and the like, articles whose chief attraction lies in the crispness resulting from rapid cooking on 8 hot fire, but
