WeIuhts and Measures.

London has what New York has
not, namely, cheap and easy access to
authoritative standards of weights and
measures. At the Royal observatory
of Greenwich these standards are
fixed on the outside walls, so that any
shopkeeper or householder or other
doubling Thomas can go at any time
and get information and an easy con-
science without waiting for inspectors
or red tape unrollers. The various
lengths are decided at Greenwich by
passing the measure to be tested be-
tween raised points in metal plates.
There is a pound balance there by
which any weight may be verified. In
Trafalgar square there are standards
of 100 feet and one chain eco feet) on
brass plates, with accurate subdi-
visions. These brass plates are set in
the granite steps on the north side
of the square. There are other sets of
standards in Old Palace yard. New
York might have them outside the city
hall and in the public squares here
and there.

Spotted fever" received some queer
treatment in John Wesley's day, ac-
cording to Wesley's Journal of Septem-
ber, 1746. A man named John Trem-
bath had the fever and Wesley wrote:
'Tt was the second relapse into the
spotted fever, in the height of which
they gave him sack, cold milk and
apples. plums, as much as he could
swallow. l can see no way to account
for his recovery, but that he had not

Advice to Grangers

The Hartford Courant says. regarding the attitude of the Connecticut Grange on the reciprocity question:
 "It is astonishing that members of the Connecticut Grange could, be so easily fooled as to. oppose the project. If they seriously object to an increase in our agricultural supplies, they ought to cry out against the eirrlgation projects, costing millions and merely increasing our crop area, and should lend their efforts to prevent settling new regions of our own country. They'll get their eyes opened. when they find the results of the arrangement are so greatly to the benefit of all. They would he wiser to keep out of politics until they are work ing in their own interests or being worked in the interests of others"

The ColonePs Post PrandiaI Joshery
 Concerning the Governors appoint ment of Colonel Osborn-who made the principal speech at the Canaan Board of Trade ban 7uet Thursday evening-to the board of state prison directors, the Boston Transcript refers in an interest ing editorial, thuswise
 Colonel Norris c. Osborn, of New Haven, who has been appointed member of the Board of Prison Directors of Con- necticut, will probably be as popular in the cell as he is in the sanctum. No more genial, intelligent, or brilliant newspaper man exists than the Colonel. At the recent dinner of the Connecticut editors in New Haven, where he as toast master told that pathetic tale of his in- ability to find an audience to hear his i'm mortal lecture on journalism, the Colonel was much assaulted by his arch enemy Charles Hopkins Clark, of the Hartford Courant, who that very morning had in his paper nominated Osborn for Railroa d Commissioner, and did not hesitate oc- cassionally during the dinner to inter- rupt the toastmaster by referring to that suggestion. As Governor Baldwin was the guest of honor, sitting at the toast masters right, this incident might have unnerved less fearless man than Os- born, but he did not quail. In one of his numerous and humorous speeches he referred to the graceful compliment which had been paid him by his brother journalist, and declared that he would on every occasion during the evening improve the opportunity to suggest the wisdom of such an appointment to the guest oi the evening. He seems to have failed to land that position in spite of his wit and eloquence, but to have succeeded iu getting something equally as good. :" H. will LOW find an attentive audience and may deliver that address on journa- lism ad libitum-if the prison walls are strong. We congratulate him, Governor Baldwin. the State of Connecticut, and lastly Charles Hopkins Clark. undOubt- edly the source of the good thing"

The reconstruction of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and the Boston & Maine Rail- road by President Mellen is & colossal undertaking. You will read in this booklet that $l16, ,O0O, 900 has been spent in seven years for for the sole purpose of obtaining transportation efficiency in the railroad servlce of Southern New England.
 You will learn how this vast sum was expended: how the trackage was multi piled, how economy and efficiency have been obtained by construction tunnels, eliminating grade crossings, strengthen ing bridges and utilizing electricity as a motive power.
 MT. Mellen's ambition to extend the benefits of this unification to all parts OF New England is told in deTail. Improve ments involving an expenditure of at least $1OO, ,OO0,0O0 within the next five years are forcasted. A sympathetic word picture of President Mellen is included.

Mellen as a man who is pre- eminently constructive, intensively imaginative and gifted with rare fore. sight and visualizing power.

The general plans, from the pairing of" at the beginning. to the grand march back to the kitchen with the dishes after the repast, were admirable and original, and reflected credit upon the versatility and genius of the committee, which was com posed Of MT. and Mrs. A. V. A. Felten, MT. and Mrs. George Hardenbergh, aud Mrs. George W. Ford.

Made More Dates in an Hour Than He
 Gan Remember.
 Among the attractive qualities that make Colonel Osborn famous, is his ''en- gazing personality" That he is an "en- gazing" gentleman may be readily be- lieved when one realizes the variety and versatility of his engagements. For ex- ample, during the social session in the Colonel's room at The Garfield, after the banquet, in response to invitations and in consulting the. bent of his own inclinations. he made appointments that will use up good share of his summer vacation. He is going out to Nebraska with MT. Bullock to stay. He is going to put in two weeks at Twin Lakes at Ava Felten's cottage, two weeks al Henry Ives's cottage, two weeks al Watson Hardenbergh's and two weeks at The Garfield; 1; he is going on fish ing and shooting expedition with Dr. Ross and he's coming up to edit the heavy hammer column of The News.
 Colonel Osborn showed she nimble. ness of his wit in neat and effective "come- back" at Rev. MT. Gillett while the latter was making his speech. In his jocular reference to the Colonel's reputation as an after-dinner speaker. he asked the New Haven gentleman if it wasn't t, ,ue that he was the best post ~I .,, Quick as 8 flash came back the response;
