The substance Of which a modern
cameo is made Is piece Of sea shell.
Every one must have noticed that,
while the outside of many shells is
rough and unseemly, the interior is
PERFECTLY polished and often brilliant
color. If the shell be broken the way
In which the two layers lie upon and
pass into each other may be clearly
seen. Shells are chosen on account of
the thickness and hardness Of the lay
ers, of the contrast of color between
them and the presence Of knobs on
the exterior surface, which render 1t
possible to work in relief

What Heads Are These7
There's q head whose mission 1t Is to
glow,
A head which often leads to woe:
There's a head that's very unwelcome

And head worn by ladies when thought

There's head very good for food. tbs

There's head on every sailboat at sea,
And head which means progress for you
and me.

VOTES AND WAGES.

1 The teachers have presented a peti- hon to the Board of Education. ask Ing for a salary increase. The pay pf Bridgeport instructors a~~ears to be lower than that in many other cit les of the same size. The pay of teachers generally is not so great as the compensation given in other occu- patfons in which the time required for preliminary training is not longer. nor the duties more important. nor ardu- Dus. Under the system prevailing in this city teacher. after completing her grammar school course. receives six years of special training. four of which are spent in the High School and two in the City Normal School. She is then obliged to wait some time for employment. and begins her work Tt wages that are scarcely more than are paid to an unskilled laborer After four or five years of teaching she may reach a compensation slightly higher, but far from large. Teachers are cer- tainly more poorly paid than any other public servants. But then, teachers are generally women and do not vote. Can it be that there. is an Intimate connection between votes for women and wages of teachers?

OBEDIENT CONNECTICUT.

The palm for obedience and docility, which so long was held by Rhode Is- land seems about to become the prec- ious property of Connecticut. which stands a tower of strength for corpor- Rte control of government. Other States shaken by an earthquake of popular rebellion. have opened the leg islative graveyards and hauled out the putrid corpses of bribe givers, bribe takers and corruptionists of many types from the man who "gets 1t in his business to the fellow who -stakes it in his hand" Uncle Joe hasn't donned his winding sheet, but he Is a grand old ruin. Hale has made his last run. Aldrich has lodged the storm of indignation in his own State by announcing his retirement. But in Connecticut an organization of graft and greed offers the people a hual choice. They may take Bulkeley. the friend and supporter of A1drich md all that Aldrich represents, or they may take Mclean, whose trade was the lobby, whose business has been procuring legislation. Hasten the 6sy when United States Senators Will be elected in Connecticut directly by the people.
