THE REpueLIcANs CHOICE.

The republicans of the state have completed their business in the con- vention for the naming of a state tick ct in November. They have deciden by majority vote, on the third bal lot, that Judge John P. Studley of New. Haven shall be the standard bearer or the party and with him they have named a ticket with candidates from all sections of the state, a list of men who will command the respect Of the voters regardless of party. The choice of the gubernatoria1 nominee was no cut and dried affair. There were many candidates for it. healthy indi- cation of the contest in the fall. In the selection of Judge Studley, the re- publicans have named a man who is in every way qualified for the office. He has demonstrated time and again that he has the confidence of the peo- pie by the support he has received at the polls in running for mayor of New Haven and later as judge of probate. He will command the same confidence throughout the state, and can be re-i lied upon to be a strong vote getter in all sections, and particularly in New Haven county. Fortunately the convention had before it for selection Of one. a list of candidates any one of whom would have made an excellent leader. The necessity of naming a man who can win has been met by the nomination.
 It is a case where the majority must rule, and, such being the case it now behooves every republican to unite in the election of the full republican ticket, national as well as state. The last election showed the disastrous re- suit of dissension. Connecticut will be found in the republican column by handsome margin if every republi- can does his duty in supporting the ticket.

Carlo, ,h. Coast Guard.

Of the shores of Alaska. on a small, rocky island, Is a little light station. connected with which is a fog bell During the dense fogs which often oc- cur the bell is rung to warn vessels of the danger of approaching too near the island and coast.
 The light keeper has a large and very intelligent shepherd dog that an swers to the name of Carlo. This dog has been trained to toll the fog bell when the weather is very heavy.
 So well trained is Carlo that when the fog comes rolling in he rushes, unbfdden by the keeper, 10 the bell and begins to tug at the rope and to sound the alarm This the faithful fellow continues to do until relieved by his master.
 Carlo often takes his turn at the bell during the night when the keeper is busy.
 T do not see how I could get aiong without Carlo" the keeper declares q am all alone, and have no other as sistant but I can always rely i'm nIicitiy on my dog. He knows his duty and faithfully performs 1t. whether told 10 do so or not" VERONICA RoCHELEAU. Age ii.

A Visit te MiIIstons Quarrx.


 My visit to Millstone quarry was very interesting and am sure I look back with pleasure to the day on which I took that trip.
 l started with friend who had been there before at about o'clock in the morning. from Pleasure Beach, which is about mile from the quarry, and arrived at about quarter of g. My companion conducted me to where they were taking out the stone, about 300 feet below us.
 After looking at the work from this height, my friend proposed that we descend into the quarry. Following q path, we came to flight of steep stepa
 My companion asked me was dk zy, but upon my replying to the coil- trary we descended the steps and con- nnued our way along winding path. We stopped about 75 feet from the along the edge of ledges. It was safe enough for me to continue, as I had rubber bottomed shoes and I did so. At the bottom was an engine pumping out the water that had rained in--for the quarry had no outlet
 Upon coming to the top again my companion conducted me to where they were loading granite upon the trains; from there we went to where they were chiseling monuments and other such decorative forms of stone.
 asked if the stone was polished by hand and for an answer my conductor brought me to the polishing depart uent
 In there was car upon which there were several blocks of granite sealed together by plaster of paris. over the top of these blocks was a soft mixture of pumice and several other essential substances. This was rubbed in by q huge iron arm which held large cir- cular stone that moved over the sur face. 3tllt f
 Having completed our observations. we started homo. but I shall never re- gret the walk over a mile of dusty road in a bot sun.
