Mr.. Eldridge being absent, Mr.. Munyan
reported on the condition of bridge in East
Greenwich, near Boody's mill, II feet high
shat brick arch, "a feet long, would
cost about $500, and a wooden bridge about
$500. The committee was given power to
act and put in such bridge as they deem
necessary.
Mr.. Best said he did not want to open up
an Improbable discussion, but he thought
as things stand we are in a bad shape in the
eyes of the people and the State author
tiles, in the matter of the county road
supervisorship.
He therefore moved, that in view of the
fact that there is no candidate for the office,
the stone road committee, when appointed
have authority to appoint supervisor tenn
porarily.
Mr.. Casperson said it seemed to him the
subject was not well understood. It was
beyond question that the county roads are
ia better condition now, since being for a
time in charge of the Road committee, than
ever before. He could not see that any
thing would be lost by delaying the matter,
and in absence Of candidates, we could not
be expected to elect one.
Mr.. Best's motion was lost.

YPSlLANTI.
Nearly Four Hundred Ways of SPELL
ing the Name.


ing the Name.
Curious postal officers in Michigan
and Washington have been keeping
for years past record Of the different
ways YpsiIanti has been spelled on
mail matters, and by comparing the
notes they have preserved a list of
veritable photographic wonders has
been compiled. This list easily estab-
fishes the claim that more different
ways for spelling Ypsilanti have been
devised than for spelling any other
geographical name in America.
In all no less than 372 distinct ways
of spelling the name have been count
ed, and it is probable that the greater
number, perhaps all, have been used
In good faith by persons who actually
believed that the photographic combt-
nations reproduced We're the correct
combinations for representing Ypsi-
lanti on the written or printed page.
Every letter in the alphabet except
"R" has been used as the initial letter
Of the name, though why so obvious
combination as Rypsilanti should be
neglected when others much less OBJ.
vious have been employed is difficult
TO explain. AS q matter of fact the
variations in the spelling are chiefly
confined to the first syllable, "Y" be-
ing letter lacking or having only an
Indifferent standing in many foreign
languages.
Tipsy Lanti and Typ Silanti are met
with, and among the spellings farthest
away from the accepted and official
standard are Whypsorlanter and Hip
asnlandder.--Chicago Inter Ocean.

More Daylight In Canada.

Something like realization of Mr.
Willett's more daylight scheme has
been achieved by the citizens of Fort
William and Port Arthur, twin Cana.
dian towns on the western shore O.
Lake Superior. For purposes OF time
Canada is divided into five sections.
each section having time one hour In
advance of its western or one hour be-
hind its eastern neighbor. These two
towns have hitherto formed the eX
treme eastern limit of the section
known as central" but in response to
largely signed petition the city conn
ellis have agreed to become the extreme
western limit of the eastern" section.
This means that the inhabitants will
.iSe-assuming that they continue to
rise at the same hour of the clock-one
hour nearer dawn. They will also fin.
ish their tasks one hour further away
from the sunset and thus obtain an
extra hour of daylight leisure. The
change comes into effect on May l and
will hold until Dec ).

SNUFFBOXES.
Once Held an Important Part In the
Councils of Nations.

Councils of Nations.
No longer applicable IS an old diplo
mats advice to take snuff often and
slowly" yet according to the Hon.
John w. Foster, author of "The Prac-
tice of Diplomacy" the time was when
snuffboxes held an important part in
the councils OF nations. The present
which the Spanish government ten
dered to General Pinckney in 1795 and
which congress withheld from him was
A gold snuffbox.
The British plenipotentiary who at
tended the conferences at the close of
the Napoleonic wars received as pres
ents twenty-four snuffboxes of the
value of $1,000 each. Richly jeweled
boxes were the diplomatic fashion a
century and more ago, but the fashion
has changed.
AS reminder of the olden time. Sir
Charles Russell, afterward lord chief
justice of England, the British senior
counsel fK the Bering sea arbitration
at Paris in 1898, great collector Of
historic snuffboXes, carried a precious
one and was constantly Offering its
contents to his colleagues.
After the treaty of 1856 was conclud.
ed with Persia the American minister
to Turkey, who signed it, wrote to the
secretary of state:
Il would suggest the following pres.
ent: A diamond snuffbox of the value
Of $4,000 for the shah; to Mira Agbra
Khan, the grand vizier, a diamond
snuffbox to the value of $1,000; to
Farrukh Khan, with whom the treaty
was negotiated, another of the same
value; to Mira Ahmed Khan, the
Persian charge at Constantinople, q
diamond snuffhox to the value of
$1,000"

SOAP BUBBLES.
How Some Pretty and Marvellous Ef-'
fects May Be Produced,

fects May Be Produced.
There are degrees Of skill in all pas
times, but one would hardly think that
there were specialists in the art Of
blowing soap bubbles. An article in
the Windsor Magazine by Meredith Nu-
gent, however shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained by the exercise OF care and
patience with soap and water.
The first step is to make solution
by rubbing pure white CASTLE soap into
a bowl partly filed with water until
lather has been formed. Then remove
every particle of lather, dip clay pipe
into the cleared solution and start to
blow bubble
If you can blow one six inches in d.
ameter so that it will hang suspended
from the pipe and will allow your fore
finger covered with the solution to be
pushed through into the bubble with
out breaking, then the mixture is ready
for use.
Six bubbles may be blown, one inside
the other. This is performed by dip
ping the end of 4 straw in the soapy
water and after resting the wet end
upon an inverted plate or sheet OF
glass, which should have been prevt-
ously wet with the solution, blow
bubble six inches in diameter.
Then dip the straw into the solution
again, carefully thrust 1t through into
the center of this first bubble and blow
another. Continue in this manner until
all the bubbles are in position. Great
care must be taken that the straw Is
thoroughly wet with solution for fully
Ilf its length before each bubble is
blown. With practice ten or twelve
bubbles may be placed inside of one
another.
