THE CHANGE " Br1cHERrowy.

This is world of change. The statement is made that a New Eng land town which was celebrated for its big and prosperous carriage shops for ty years ago Is to-day without man. ufacturing industry of any kind. This town is not New Haven, although for ty years ago New Haven was celebrat- ed for its carriage ge-making. It is Bel chertown, Massachusetts, Forty years ago there were in Belchertown woollen mills paper mills, soapstone factory and a silk-worm ranch, but the car- riage industry was the backbone of the town. In the eos there were six car- riage factories running, employing over five hundred workmen and turn ing out between 5000 and 4,OOO car riages annually In addition to these there were several firms which sup piled certain parts of the carriages to the larger factories. The labor was all done by hand and all the ironwork was wrought. Only selected hick- ory, ash and other high-class woods were used, and the leather, broadcloth and trimmings were of the first quail ty. Iron axles were never used, but wooden axles fitted with "skeins" were universally employed. The carriages were built to last, and they did last and in many country villages scatter ed throughout the country Belchertown carriages are still in use, with rec ord of from thirty to fifty years ser- vice to their credit The supplanting of hand-working by machinery and the greater facilities as to wood supply off, fered by the rapidly developing West resulted eventually in the retirement of the Belchertown carriage ge-workers, or their removal to new fields.
 New Haven has lost much of her lm- portance as a carriage maker, but she has gained so much in other ways that she is still celebrated and likely to become more so.

 We call them ''convicts" now. I'll speak to you of hired girls

 We've given jobs to four. The tribe has vanished from the earth The Hired Girls no more. Behold yon lone pedestrian,

4 GOdD BOOST,

The President isn't so busy president ing nowadays that he can't find time to keep up with things generally. So it is perhaps not surprising that he has been moved by the efforts of the spelling re- formers. Yesterday he issued orders to Public Printer stillings that hereafter all messages from the President and all other documents emanating from the White House shall he printed in &C., cordance with the recommendation of the spelling reform committee headed by Brander Matthews, professor of English in Columbia university.
 This will make the spelling reformers feel good. It will also give their reform a good boost. So far they haven't made much impression on people who believe that the spelling they were brought up on is good enough. Now some of them will sit up and take notice, and few may even take some pains to change their spelling habit. Those who never could spell, and who don't care if they never can, wont be disturbed, unless they may feel that no spelling reform can go too far for them if it leaves them free to spell as they take notion to. Every man his own speller, would suit them for a spelling reform cry.

London has almost everything, in- cluding a dogs cemetery. It is in the most fashionable section. It is not far from Kensington Gardens, but 1t is so hidden from the gaze of the vulgar that one looks in vain for it unless one inquiries of the gatekeeper. He di- rects you to the man in charge, an af- fable person in livery, who unlocks a little door to the right of the gate house and shows you in with a smile which implies both pity and amuse- ment. It occupies not much more space than the back yard of a city house, and yet 1t has three ave- nues. Grass and flowers cover the graves, while small monuments suit ably inscribed preserve the memory of the pampersd darlings.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In these days of wars and rumors of war; appalling earthquake disasters and volcanic ravages, we are reminded of the two little poems one entitled
 Jesus Wept," and the other From Heavens Judgment Hall," and 1t would seem as If St. Paul was indeed abroad in the world on his errand of ven- geance, that in his righteous wrath he set himself to do, after the realistic council held in heavens judgment hall one fair day, and we are wondering when his great wrath will be appeased, and we enter into the era of Joy and peace also so graphically described therein, and also trust all will be as prophetic in that respect as 1t has been in the dire prophecies, so far; wonder ing when and where the Beloved John will find the penitent, high-souled ruler who Will awake to aid him in making wars to cease" before the rumblings now heard afar, break into open reali- ties; wondering how far away yet is the time when the little children and the morning and evening stars will sing together without fear of wars or other earthly calamitles wrought through mans perversities.

MT Chamberlain, according to the London Globe, was once delivering a rousing speech in Birmingham to an audience so tightly packed together that no one could possibly get in or out. Suddenly in the middle of the hall arose scowling man. What did MT. Gladstone say in 1S72?" he howled. ''Turn him out!'' shouted the au- dience Three men hurled the inter- rupter few yards, and others hustled him into the street.

It Is rather surprising to find three British judges of higb distinction agreed that the Balfour school act of four years ago didn't do what its authors meant 1t to do, and what it's friends and enemies alike understood 1t as doing. It did not make payment out of the rates for religious teaching of Church of England schools compul- sorry. Counsel suggested to the court that the manifest intention of Parlla- ment should govern in construing the act. we have only to deal with the construction of the act as printed and published" said one of the justices, Sir George Farwell That is the final word of the legislature as whole, and the antecedent debates and subsequent statements of opinion or belief are not admissible.

A STRANGE ISLAND.



halin, In Siberia.
Sakhalin, on the eastern coast
Of Siberia, presents a very curious
anomaly of climate. The island ID
bathed by two cold ocean currents,
and in winter nothing protects it
against the icy northwest winds
coming from Siberia. At the sea
level the snow falls continually and
stays on the ground till the end Of
May, and the seashore is very cold.
Farther inland, however, especially
as VIC go higher up, the climate is
modifed-just the opposite to what
Is observed elsewhere; 1T has often
been observed in Siberia and in
central Europe that in winter the
cold is greater in the plains and
the valleys, and that the highlands
have sensibly milder temperature.
It is as if the denser cold air accumu-
lated in the lowlands. This fact is
very often observed in our climate.
There are several very good ex-
amples of it. All the trees and
shrubs Of valley have been known
to be killed by frost, while above
a certain level, very clearly marked
out, on the hill or the mountain, the
vegetation has not suffered at all.
The cold air often flows from the
SUBMITS toward their bases. This
is what takes place at Sakhalin.
The cold air accumulatcs in the low
regions of the island and on the
coast. The higher regions have a
more elevated temperature. So it
happens that the lower parts have
an arctic vegetation, while the in
termediate attitudes have the vege-
tation of a temperate zone, some
times subtropical.
The birch, the ash, the pine, the
fir abound in the low regions and
form often impcnetrable forests,
but toward the center of the island
appear bamboos, hydrangeas, azaleas
and other plants that one is greatly
surprised to meet and whose pres
ence can be explained only by the
altogether abnormal climatic condi.
tons of the island.
