Raraain Safes In Japan.

v Even Ill placid Japan they have bar gain sales, but they conduct then2 on Every different principles from the %erimmages we have over here. An amusing American woman has embod- jed her experiences of travelling alone in Japan in q most entertaining vol ume just published, whence may be gathered description of sale at the greatest trading house in Japan.
 The goods are not flung about. They are shown to advantage in locked cases, and the heads of departments keep the keys. Remnants, however, are laid on mats, and, though there is keen anxiety to secure bargains, per feet order and quiet prevail.
 Babies toddle about quite comforta- bly, others sleep on their mothers backs. However orderly and quiet though the Japanese bargain sale may be, it is not free from the shoplifter, and it is interesting to hear that the detective is as necessary in the dowery land as in England.

ROCKVILLE.

The contractors for the Rockville & Stafford trolley line are stl engtl en- ing the bridge on Market street that crosses the Rock canal. At present the bridge consists of railroad rails. covered over with sheet iron, and over this was the block pavement. It was thought best to strengthen the bridge for the heavy travel expected when the road to Stafford is running, as it is the, intention to run heavy freight cars over the line to Stafford Springs late at night after the other travel ceases.

Free Consent of the People.

The pioneer American Democrat" was the Rev. Thomas Hooker of Con- necticut, who, in sermon in Hartford In the year 1883, said, "The founda- ton of all authority is firstly laid in the free consent of the people," There, in embryo, were the Revolution and the great republic. In the "Funda- mental Orders of Connecticut" inspired by Hooker and adopted at Hartford in 1888. we have the first written consti- tuition known to history that created government. And that government was as near perfect democracy as the world has ever seen.-New York American.

Windmiila.

The windmill Is not yet superseded as an engine driven by the power of ''unbought wind" In Holland Nhey are used for saving timber, cutting tobacco. grinding trass and draining the polders. Holland has 10000 wind mills, each of which is said to drain BIO acres of land, at an average cost of l shilling an acre & year. In Nor folk they have been of inestimable service for works of drainage on the marsh lands. A fifteen horsepower windmill erected at Faversham raised In ten months 21, ,OOO, 900 gallons of wa. ter from a depth of 109 feet, saving 100 tons of coal. In the United States iron skeleton windmills were employed to pump water for domestic purposes long before they were applied to irrI- gation work.
