thirty-seven hundredths. l think we shall

two-yard measure in my work basket This"
Mrs. Langdon went on, measuring the proper
length, lis as near meter as / can deter
mine. Keep this length well in mind. We
will begin by going down to the lowest de

ten equal parts. This name even you will find

swells that swept far out into the calm.
For the rest of the day and all the fol-

swell broke over the taffrail 1t came with
1nconceivable force upon the poop-deck, which
was seven feet high and under which was the
cabin. The boat which hung at the stern
was stove, the binnacle broken, the com
pass smashed, and the mizzen-mast went by
the board.
Roaring forward, from the taffral to the
bowsprit,. went the prodigous inundation, fill
ing the decks to the top of the rail, staving
great hole in the house forward, where it
deluged all the berths of the sailors, and tear
ing away many of the bulwark boards.
Our captain, together with the doctor and
his wife, had darted into the cabin under the
poop, while the rest of us ran UP the fore and
main rigging, there, being at the time no one
at the helm on account Of the calm.
The poor peacock and his mate went out
in their cage over the forward bulwarks, and
the cat with them. we saw pussy's head for
top of the cage, but this rolled over, and she
disappeared in the commotion, although when
the three waves were past she actually got back
to the ship, the pitying sailors taking her on
board as good as ever. All this while there

STATE EXPENSES.

A comparison of the EXPENSES of the
State during the fiscal year of lNS-9 with
those of 1901 the latest figures available,
shows that there has been decrease Ill
the EXPENSES of the executive depart
ment the various state officers lbrarl-
ans. penal institutions. legislative expenses
and state printing. The increases in ex-
penses are shown for the railroad COM
mission, State highway commissioner tan
office created after the nrst year namedp.
srccial commissioners fish and game,
care of soldiers home, educational worh,
board of agriculture, care Of insane, the
militia and court expenses. The largest
increases in expenses are: Educational

board of agriculture, s24.19lSS largely
pay for diseased cattle killed.; care Of
insane. 2G,oS4o 90; court expenses, $40 1885,
These figures show that the tendency in
Vermont is to restrict the expenses Of the
individual and allow increases only in
those departments where public necessities
demand it, 1t is probable that some fur
Their saving can be effected in the use
OF the States money and that it will be
done by the coming legislature, but II
must be admitted by all conversant with
the facts that the republicans in YER
