NO USE FOR A SHIRT.

A story is told of brownie who
assisted the people Of Dolphiston,
in Roxburgshire, in threshing their
corn. The farmer left an article of
dress for him, which so offended
him that he Immediately quilted the
place, saying:

One of the principal characters

regarding the moral conduct of the

ENGLISH REPERTOIRE THEATER.

Every one knows that as far as the
plays and the actors are concerned
there is no difficulty whatever in
running repertoire theater. No
actor who cared at all for his art
would ever, if he could help it, ap-
pear on any other sort of stage and
as for the plays there is the whole
literature of Europe to pillage. The
real problem is to educate the pub
lie and that will be done, we be-
lieve, with most success by a COM
pany which is forced by hard neces-
sity to take its public into its reck-
onings. There are pork butchers
rich enough to lure all the stars of
Europe to play Aeschylus and Soph-
ocles in the original tongue, but sub
sidized work proves nothing in the
way of demand and rarely succeeds
in educating the public.-London

DoGFfsH ON ENGLISH COAST.

Dogfish continue to infest the
southern and western fisheries in in
creasing numbers, and do much dam
age. No remedy has been found, and
it is evident that the fisheries are
surely and rapidly being depleted by
their activity. While there is con-
siderable consumption of dogfsh in
Plymouth and other large places in
England, it is not at all in proper
ton to the number Of fish. They
have been sold for "a cents per score,
and later they had to be given away
for fertilizer. While the dogfsh are
in request, the fishermen can supply
as much as the buyers can possibly
handle, but as the big fishing plants
on the east coast commence to OPP
crate there is not sufficient market
for them at remunerative prices.
The person who can devise a way Of
Kidding the waters of this plague
without injury to the fisheries will
confer great boon to the industry.

SEEMED A JOKE TO SIAMEsE
Natives Could Not Understand Why
American Wanderers Wanted
Sugar with Rice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harper's
Weekly, gives an amusing account
of his tramp through the Siamese
Jungles. The English authorities
refused to let him leave Rangoon
and deputed a half-caste to accom-
pany him and see that he remained
within the town limits. But Frank
and his companion made the half
caste drunk, eluded him and
plunged into the jungle. At one
village they excited the wonder of
the natives by demanding sugar
upon their rice. The head man mis-
understood.
When he understood that sugar
was needed he called a woman, who
brought some in joint of bamboo.

author, "such a roar of laughter
went up from the assembly that 1

chieftain fell to shaking as with a
fit, his advisers doubled up with
mirth and aroused the whole COM

eyed Siamese tumbled out of the
neighboring huts. Within two min
utes half the village had flocked into
the room and the other half was
bowling for admittance and a
glimpse of those strange beings who
ate their rice with sugar.

Improving Farm Crops by Sc
lection of Seed.

To greatly increase the yield
or hardness of most farm crops
by a iudicious selection of seed
does not require the technical
knowledge of a Burbank. And
Mr.. Burbank's knowledge is
more the result of observation
and experiment than reading.
That crop can be improved by
the selection of seed or that it
will deteriorate by careless or
wholesale method of saving seed
needs only to be mentioned to be
accepted as true.
At this time of year a very
little care and observation in the
field will enable any farmer to
make such selections OF. seeds as
will greatly improve the crop
from which the selection is made,
and in some instances a few
years perseverance in the same
line may result in what will be
to all intents for cropping new
variety. In passing through a
field of, say Kafir corn, if a
well developed and particularly
large head is noticed cut it and
save it. Another one will be
found to match it and thus few
pounds of extra heavy head seed
secured. This planted where it
will not mix, and again the best
and most characteristic heads
selected and planted, will in
crease the amount of seed at
hand for another planting. The
third year the character first OBJ
served will be intensified and so
far fixed that in a very short
time varia ton so great as to be
for all practical purposes new
variety will be produced. This
is in fact the method followed by
Mr.. Burbank.

Reports Current on Saturday that He Had Join
ed the Hill Forces Denied.
FORCES ON BOTH SIDES SHARPLY LINE UP
High Generalship Displayed in Tactics-Rrandegee's
Lieutenants Seem to Have Best of Scoring Round
ing Up Members Who Still the Fence
Forecast Made by Chairman Keneay Still Holds.

Hartford. Jan. 1.-THE Hill and
Brandegee forces, which are to meet
in senatorial caucus tomorrow after
noon at the capitol lined up sharply
today and brought every effort to bear
upon those members who have not yet
declared themselves.
Brandegee's Influence Felt.
The tactics already displayed are of
high generalship. in which Senator
Brandegee's lieutenants seem to have
scored the most points. The county
leaders were instructed OF round up
members who were still on the fence
and to exert pressure to bring about
their definite declaration. Here and
there in the county delegations were
members who had held a1oof. To such
members word was sent to take sides
and in this way the party organiza-
ton made its influence felt in be-
half of Mr.. Brandegee. 1t was stated
here during the day that the two rep
resentatives from New Haven were
not outspoken as to the way they
would vote and the Hill interests
there, represented by a number of
manufacturers, labored to get both
men into line. This led the Brahde-
gee forces to appeal for assistance to
the town organization and the political
pressure brought to bear by the lat
ter is said to have won over both the
representatives from that town.
Denial that Banks Has Joined Hill
Forces.
The reports current on Saturday
that Speaker Banks had joined the
Hill forces and by this means it was
expected that Hill would get two
thirds of the Fairfield county delega-
tion was denied today, and it was
understood that Mr.. Banks is a Bran |
degee man. 1t is claimed that the |
speaker was in conference yesterday |
with State Chairman Kenealy.

ing the day that the senate and house /

ate committees, said that the list is !

I until after the caucus. Speaker Banks
said his list would not, be completed
until Wednesday, but the caucus would
have no influence whatever upon his
selection of house members of the
committee.
Predictions of Brandegee Men.
The predictions Of the Brandegee
men are in accord with the general
forecast made by Chairman Kenealy
on Friday. They give Mr.. Hill all OF
Litchheld county, and take all of New
London, Windham and Tolland coun-
ties. and divide equally the counties
of Middlesex, Hartford. Fairfield and
New Haven, and claim a majority of
thirty for Mr.. Brandegee.
The Claims of Hills Friends.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hills
friends claim Litchfield county, three
fourths of Fairfield county, half each
of New Haven and Hartford coun-
ties. two-thirds of Middlesex county
and enough scattering votes in Toll
land and Windham counti@ to make
Mr.. Hills majority about ten. On
Saturday last the tide seemed to be
sweeping towards Mr.. Hill, over Sun
day the Brandegee men redoubled
their efforts and called here as many
of the party leaders as could be reach
ed.
Less Talk About HiIPs Successor.
So confident were the Hill men in
Litchfield and Fairfield counties Sat
urday over the outlook that a boom
was soon under way in favor of Don
aid 7. Warner for congressman to
succeed Mr.. HILL it being admitted
that Litchield county would be en-
titled to the nominee. Fairfield coun-
ty would present in the convention
the names of William H Burnham of
a presidential elector, and
of Judge James F. Walsh of Green
wich. who is believed to have Joined
the Hill ranks.
Today there was less talk about Mr..
Hills successor in congress, as the
contest had narrowed down to an ac-
tual count of strength.
Both Branches Meet at 1890.
Both branches will meet at 1890 to-
but it is not expected that
much business will be done.
