UNION.

It is with pleasure that the friends of John Buckley learn through the columns Uf the Hartford Daily Times that he is prospective candidate for the assistant clsrkship Of the next house. The following is from the Times: Representa- tive Buckley was the youngest member of the house at the last session. He was in his twenty third year. It is an interest ing coincidence that on the previous occasion when representative was a candidate for the assistant clerkship of the house at the session following the one at which he was a member he was also the youngest representa- tive. In 1899 Edwin W. Higgins was a member of the house as one of the representatives of Norwich. He was 24 years old. At the last session he was a candidate for the assistant clerkship of the house and was de. feated by Alfred O. Baldwin. Mr. Higgins was afterwards elected to con- gress from the third district as the successor of the lamented Charles A.
 Russell. whose son, Sabin S. Russell, was the capable assistant clerk of the house at the last session. Representa- tive Buckley was one of the prominent members of the house in 1909. He wss the house chairman of the con- mittee on labor, and he showed an aptitude for legislative work which attracted attention. His colleague on the committee, Senator E. Hart Fenn of Wethersfleld, found him a willing worker and we'll informed and entirely free from prepossessions that might bias him. It is not expected that Representative Buckley will have a walkover in his candidacy for the assistant olerkship, but he will start on his canvass for the position with the prestige of having been success ful legislator and of having won the high regard of the entire membership of the house of the previous session. The position is desirable largely be- cause it insures for the incumbent a round of clelkships for ten years, / providing his party continues to con- trol both branches of the legislature. !" It was generally supposed that Rep- resentative Buckley would accept re- election to the next house, which he could readily receive by the endorse ment of both parties. Which ever is his ultimate choice he will find his town ready to assist, having un-. bounded confidence in his character, judgment and ability

The Name Cuba.

Cuba is the name by which the is- land was originally known to the Lu- cayan Indians. who were with Colum- bus when he discovered it. One of it's villages or cities was called by them Cubanacan, and it is reported that from the similarity of sounds Colum- bus, still supposing himself to be on the coast of Asia, imagined that this must be city of Kublai Khan, the Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo. The survival of the original name for Cuba is a remarkable in- stance of persistence. as the island has been baptized and rebaptized many times since it's European discovery. Columbus first called it Juana in honor of Prince John, the son of Ferdinand Sand Isabella. After Ferdinand's death 1t was called in his memory Fernan- dina. Subsequently this name was changed to Santiago, after St. James, the patron saint of Spain. Still later it was named Ave Maria, in honor of the Virgin Mary. But none of these names held, and the Indian name is still preserved.

The Man Who Smashed Glasses In .
 London Tavern.
 One day bulky, tall. pale faced gen. tleman with bushy, restless eyebrows entered London tavern. The waiter did not ask him for his order. but i'm mediately brought him plate of bread and cheese and glass of ale. Having consumed his lunch, the guest sat up right in his chair for awhile, leaning his hands on heavy walking cane and staring blankly at the opposite wall as if in a dream. Of sudden he gave q start. He seized the empty glass and dashed 1t to the floor with all his might. smashing it to atoms. He then reflected for a moment, laid a coin on the table, got up and left the inn without a word to any one. After his departure another guest had the curiosity to ask the waiter wheth- CT the gentleman who had just gone out was not wrong in his head. Quoth the waiter:
 '.Oh. no, sir! That's nothink un- usual with i'm. sir Els broke maybe a 'undred glasses since 'e's been a-cOm- in to this 'ouse. B don't seem to know it when e does it.

Rice in the Orient.

Rice is kept for use in the orient in it's husk, just like horse oats or un- thrashed wheat. It is called paddy and is beaten or thrashed for daily use. But pure husked rice is too rough and unattractive looking for world mar kets, so it is polished in revolving cyl finders with French chalk to make 1t pretty, pearly and smooth. But this robs 1t of it's outer layer and most val uable food qualities. Polished rice Is regarded as poison in Japan and is known to produce the dreadful epidem- ic disease beriberi in Japanese who live too exclusively on rice diet and eating little or no meat.-Exchange.

Assyrian Seals.

K The ancient Assyrians nearly 5000 years ago put in moist clay their seals, engraved in intaglio upon precious stones, on chests and doors, in order to prevent their being opened. There were no locks or keys in those days. 5 If they wished to send private let ter they would often seal 1t with a hippogriff. which fabulous winged horse was regarded as the emblem of secrecy. Centuries later the Greeks and Romans adopted similar devices for the same purpose.

Mules and KIndnsss.

"In the fifte& years that I have been connected with societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals in this and other cities I never have re- ceiyed a complaint alleging cruelty to a mule," said the humane looking man. That immunity of mules from harsh treatment is an interesting ques- ton. Why are they immune? There are plenty of mules, even in New York. Does nobody beat them? Does nobody underfeed them? If not, why not? Does mule show such a de- cided ability for taking care of him. self that his owner is afraid to abuse him, or do men beat mules and escape punishment because the persons who witness the beating think 1t is only a mule and not worth bothering about2 What is the explanation of that phase of the mule question anyhow2"-

Twofarmers were not long since dis cussing their local paper. One thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied 'In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully and save at least five times the cost of the paper each week through the business advantages I get from them. ? That man has the right idea of the mat ter. The business men who fail to give farmers chance to read advertisements in the local paper are blind to their own interests.
