However, In spile of all disadvantage, the
next year the number of atudenta waa ex

and had largely changed from academic stu

though the bnanl el trustees offered him an
Increase of atlary and a vacation If he would

aenlgdld a great deal of ellectlve Institute

reputation of the same.
In the fall of li7S, Professer Hentenlg went
te liucks county ter rest aud recreation, but
owing te his euergetle and enthusiastic spirit
and the frequent calls Uen him te lecture, he
again engaged In Institute work during the
winter. He received an invitation from
Hwarthmere college te anlit for one month
In ergani'ng a normal department, and
almost simultaneous with this, an Invitation
from Professer Marls, principal of the West
Cheater Nermal school, te till the chair el

the position at Nwarthmere, aud, at the end
of tlie month, he was Invited te return and

te Increase the tiumtmr of atudenta at West
Chester, and te widen the lntlucnce and
popularity of the s-hoel. In the llrat two
years of hlsomncctleii with the Institution,
there was a uurkwt Increase In the number
of student, due largely te his thorough work
In the class room and at county and local In
htltutes In the Nermal s'lioel district, as well
as te his assistance in forming a better classi

energetic and enthusiastic, Just and censcl

In these latter days, when the Individual
la withering at a rate faster than seems te be
altogether convenient, when It la believed
that democracy and Individualism are be
longer quite convertible terms, there nay be
a useful lessen Jn thereoerd of the common
wealth of Connecticut, unbroken auoesss se
far aa she has followed out her fundamental
principle, embarrassment and danger only se
for as she has allowed it le be Infringed."
With these words Prof. Alexander John John
seon or Prfnoeten clesea his volume en Von Ven
necttcut, Just Issued In the admirable Amer
ican Commonwealth Herie of Messrs, Hough Hough
eon, Mlllllu k Ce., of Hosten. And, Indeed,
If only for the aake of this much-needed
lessen, "Thereoerd of the commonwealth of
Connecticut," la well worth studying ; ee.
peclelly slnee It can be done se pleasantly,
thoroughly, and satisfactorily In this volume,
written by a trained thinker In the depart
ment of political economy, and a skilled and
experienced writer In the sphere ef philo
sophical history, characteristic of this author
which make themselves strongly felt in his
work, and distinguish It above some of Its
lellewa, marking It clearly aa one of the very
ablest and meat excellent books of the entire
aeries thua tar issued.
There certainly seems te be urgent need
for us te real Ins that at the close of this nine
teenth century or ours It Is net only lelly, but
dlsgracelul and suicidal, te try te convert our
government, "the most enlightened govern
ment en earth" Inte a paternal Institution
worthy only or these primitive, barbaric
days wheu our race was yet In Its Infancy.
The wild appeals te the government for the
redreaa of every grievance, the cure of every
evil, the regulation of all klndsel private, In
dustrial, social, and religious relations, which
sre at present being made en every band,
seem te indicate that the present generation
of American citizens leek upon legislation ss
a kind of patent nostrum, and tue govern
ment as a sort or big peer-house, asylum, or
nursery. We have relegated te It the pater
nal duty et the education or our children.
We ball expect and almost demand that It
aheuld assume the care or the sick and crip
pled, the Insane- and the lazy and nbllllem
pauper-class. I.eud are the crlea that would
nuke It the purifier, regulator, and cenaerver
el our private and demeatlc morals, by
throwing upon It the duty or measuring nut
te us our loed, or at least our drink, te say
nothing el ether Indulgences. Oiir inun
streus pension system is sn eloquent and
expensive witness te the Insane lengths te
which this debauching tendency ran carry a
nation, coating us, as It does, mere every
year ler the maintenance or an array that aa
such ceased te exist a quarter or a eentury
age, than any or the nations et Kurepe ex
pend for the maintenance or tbelr Immense
standing armies, which after all are In exist
ence aa a living and fighting ferca
What we learn from the history of Connec
ticut en this subject, perhaps mere dearly
than from the records of any ether of our
American commonwealths, Is Indicated thus
by Prof. Johnsten : "Government never was,
te the Connecticut man, an institution
against which be was te lean for rest ; or
which be waa te use for the purpose of evad
ing the censequences et hi own heedless
ness ; or which was te swallow up bis per
sonality. It was te blm a thing of special
purpose, te be restricted te Its nsrrewest
ellectlve limits, and te be worked, like any
ether machlne, te Its highest capacity within
Its proper limits." We have, moreover, in
Conneetlcut'a history abundant proof of the
safety and correctness el her Idea or govern
ment; and also et tbe danger and erroneous erreneous erroneeus
nesa or the ether view, new apparently se
perilously prevalent In our country.
Connecticut's idea, It will be noticed, waa
tbe idea that lay at tbe very foundation of
Themas Jl.nrneii's principles of govern
ment. It Is the only true and rational one,
and alone in accord with the laws of eeclal
evolution according te which human society
Is growing and progressing Tne prevalent
tendency te a reversion te the old, primitive
ideael paternal government, In which the
Individual Is swallowed up In tbe social
body, and dejienila upon It ler everything,
la really an evil and dancer et urgent Im
portance and magnltuda it I sltuply suici
dal. Tne tendency te pt the government In
place el the pareut aa head of the family, and
even of conscience aa supreme authority and
governor of every Individual in bis personal
relations and private life, Is necessarily and
Inevitably cell deatrurtlva
Herbert Hpencer has expressed this truth
very clearly In his I'nnnjiltt of Sociology,
and later still mere specitlcally In aeveral of
his essays. In the former work he aay a :
" The law for the undeveloped is that there
shall be most aid where there la least merit.
Tbe helpless, useluts infant, extremely exig--uiir,
must from hour te hour be fed, kept
warm, amused, and exercissd But
when the young niau enters Inte the bsttle of
life, be Is dealt with alter a contrary sjstem.
The general principle new Is that bis reward
shall be proportioned teblsvalua Though
parental aid, net abruptly ending may soften
the effects el this social law, yet the mitiga
tion el them la but slight ; and apart from
parental aid, tbla social law Is but In a small
ilesree traversed br private s-enerealtv.
Then In subrequent years when parental aid
ba ceaaed, the stress or tbe struggle becomes
greater, and tbe adjustment el prosperity te
efficiency mere rigorous. Clearly with a so
ciety, as with a species, survival depends en
conformity te both of tbese antagonist prlncl
pies. Impert Inte the family the law or tbe
society, and let children from Infaney up
wards have life sustaining supplies propor
tioned te their lite-sustaining labors and the
society disappears forthwith by desth of all
Its young. Impert Intoaeolety the law or tbe
family, and let tbe lile-sustalnlng be great In
proportion as the lite sustaining labors are
small, aud the society decays from lncreaaeef
lu bast worthy members sod decrease el lu
meat worthy members. It talis te held Its
own In the struggle with ether societies,
which allow play te the natural law that
prosperity shall vary a efficiency.
"Hence the necessity et maintaining this
cardinal distinction between the etblea et the
Family and the ethics or tbe Huta Hence
the fatal result II family disintegration geea
se far that family policy aud stale policy be
come confused."
Pret. Johnsten's volume has, beside lis
own iutrlu-le value and Interest, yet an
added Inter nt en account of Its peculiar
timeliness. Fer tbe year li'.t will be tbe
centennial anniversary el the adoption el our
federal constitution, which In Its formation
owed be much te the constitution of Connec
ticut adopted In lt3., whose quarter-inlllen
lal anniversary therefore falls In the aame
year 1M. Owing te lu lmpoitauee, tbe full
text of that interesting document, tbe consti
tution et 10.11), Is given In an appendix, aa
" tbe first written and democratic eunstltu Ien
en record," aud "the atanlug pelut for tbe
democratic development whlca has since

new makes tbe esaeutlal feature of our com

"The minute I put my eyes en that adver
tisement I suspected that it was written en
an old Greek method with which I am
thoroughly familiar, and which requires that
every letter be represented by two figures.
Bene one letter previously agreed upon
( which In this case 1 round te be J ) Is drop drep
mm1 from tbe alphabet, and represented by
two ciphers leaving twenty-live lettera re
maining. These twenty tlve letteis are ar
ranged In the form or a square, thus :
12 3-5
a 1 l q v-1
b g tn r w 1
c h n s x-3
a 1 e t y 4

UAnd each letter Is symbolized by the
(Inures found by tbe Intersection et a vertle -I
with a horizontal row. Is that plain te you?"
"Net exactly."
"It will be in a minute. Te and tbe Bgures
for ' weUke lu vertical figure which ia 1;
then IU horizon Ul figure, which la 1 again;
putting 1 and 1 together, we have 11: -b' by
tbe aame means, Is round te be 1-i 'q' is 41
w' ls2, and se en.
"Ol course, this square can be med I lied in
a hundred dlllereut ways, perhaps by reading
thellgnrea backward and plactDg 0 ever 'a,'
I ever !,' S ever 'g,' and one ever y.'
"There la another system et secret writing
upon which we hsve net touched at all. It
censtsu or the hiding or significant words in
a sentence or geed English, and I knew et a
case in this city wbere this style or writing
was used between a young lady and a gentle
man who had been forbidden by tbe lady'a
father te see her, and used te such purpose
that the pair were married. Here is one of
tbe young Udy'a notes. What de you think
ei it?"
The note was written in a lady's delicate
hand en a small sheet of gilt-edged paper.
Tbe sheet wsa embellished st tbe top with an
embossed Initial W., and tbe writing was :
Oeebcis I wlh you would forget me. lean
net aud will net see you te nlutil or again. In
the park or at home, wftbeut pap. s perwl-slen,
which he tells me will never be given.
The reporter could net see much hope ler
the lever in the foregoing document until
bis attention waa drawn te some lullalteeiuial
figures in tbe lower left-band corner el tbe
paper, se small as te be almost lu visible, but
when pointed out were plainly seen te be 1
2 12, 14, 15, 10, 19, 20, 21.
"New read that note again, emitting every
word buttbe first, second, twelltb, fourteenth,
fifteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth, twentieth
and twenty llrat, and you will find that it
reads :
"Kleeige, I will see you tonight In the
park.'
"But that sort or the thing is all child's
play. Lend me your lead pencil, and go
and leek out et the window for about five
minutes. When you come back I will ahew
you a cryptogram written en a system that Is
absolutely indecipherable by tbeae net In
the secret."
The reporter did as be was bidden, and
when the five minutes were elapsed the de
tective banded htm a long strip et paper, en
which were written the characters following.
In tbe manuscript the cbaractera were writ
ten in one leug column, but ler the sake ei
economizing space tbe lower hall of the
column la printed here te the right ei tbe
upper hall :

In .Ddeavering te read that, but will ahew
you the solution at once.
Takleg tbe paper by IU lower end, the de
fective wrapped It apt rally around tbe lead
penell which be bad borrowed. When tbla
was done tbe disjointed words sud IrsgraenU
or words came together as if by magic, loan lean
ing the easily read sentence :
"Where the letter is te be read In manu
script this method of secret writing is one ei
tbe best In use, as it Is net at all common."
Tbe blank paper had been originally wound
about the pencil and tbe sentence written
upon the adjjeent turn et the spiral, making
a Jumble when unwound which could be
translated only by winding the paper about
the original pencil and at exactly the same
angle as originally used.
"By making the angle very short and the
paper very long every tetter may de cut in
two or mere places, se tbst when unwound
tbe oryptegrain will seem te be merely along
line or meaningless deu and dashes. I pur
peeely made my anglea long, ae tbat each
line In tbe oelumn contains from one te four
letters, thua making a cipher which you csu
readily print If you care te show this system
of secret writing. Of c.urse, li they care te
try this experiment ler themselves, the same
aeotenee will divide updltterenlly with them
as they will net knew at wnat angle I wound
my paper.
"When two correspondents are furnished
with cylinders, lead pencils, canes, pen
holders, its., of exactly the satneslzs, and a
determinate angle of wlndlug the eaDer la

possession a rapid means of writing oommu eommu oemmu

An article la The Forum for May, entitled
"Dining 11 all Mendicancy," by James Q.
Heward, will atrlke a responsive chord la
tbe heart of every person who frequeala
hotels and resUuranU te any extant. The
writer explains that the practice of giving
gratuities te porters, waiters and ether
servants was Imported te this country
from Kurepe by tbe young men about
town, who, having traveled abroad, aped
everything forelgn, especially everything
Knglish. He further says thst when these
traveled fops first began errerlng tips te
Delmonlce's waiters the mere manly of them
were disposed te resent It, white ethers
pocketed the gratuity with the reflection tbat
the donor must have Uken a Utile tee
much." Hut what the men of fortune as well
as lash Ien did seen become "geed form,"
and tbe practice of tipping seen spresd
from the ultra-fashionable hotels and
cares te second, third and fourth rate places,
and is still spreading apace. In these days
tbe man who " puts up" at a hotel must lee
net only the wallers but tbe cooks, perter. ,
chamber-maids, ball-boys, beet blacks and
barbers a well In order te get satisfactory
service, and as he pursues his journey he will
lind the Janitors, baggage-cneckers trunk,
handlers and ethers at the railway stations
confidently expecting a tip, while the non
enumerated classes who demand extras
aweli the mobtebewilderlngproportlona. '
Tbe practice, says Mr. Heward, Is Indefen
sible from every point of view. The bill of
fare at a restaurant seta forth a scale or prices
ler the articles or loed or refreshment sup.
piled, snd aa a rule these prices are high
enough, Heaven knows, and are steadily In
creased, from year te year In the lace or the
fact that previsions of all kinds hsve been
declining ler a long lime, II one were
excted te pay extra only for extra
civility or spe- 1st Intelligence there might
be some excuse ler tbe system. But
tbls Is net at all the ground en which
the practice rests. Yeu are expected te re
ward alike civility and incivility, te pay
handsomely for both Intelligence and stu
pidity, and te be equally liberal te courtesy
and Insolence. Tbe spendthrift, however
worthless, who wastes the most money en
them gets the best entertainment tbe place
ran allerd, while the provident patron paying
the same hiih rates, If net lavish with his
money, must put up with tbe smallest and
meam st portion tbat can be aerved. At
present In high toned places as much as six.
sevenths of tbe servsnu' compensation is sad
dled upon the gue-ts. The step Is a short
ene te tbe Kuropean system, under which
servants pay a fixed premium for eligible
positions from which tbey can prey upon the
public.
The writer designates this way of ebulnlng
money as a species of blackmail wbere re
lual te "deliver" Is followed by Insolence
and Insult, and adds tbat " It Is licensed rob
bery less manly than tbe footpad', because
you are forced te pay a second time for whst
you have paid tee enormeualy already."
Tbe practice is demonstrated te be detrl
mental te tbe Interests of employers, but
there are weightier objections te tbe system.
Empleyes are debased and demoralized by
the lrrlatieual usaga Tbe best way found
since the world began te get money is te
earn it. But If able bodied men can set a
half-dollar by standing around opera beuses.
ana opening tueaoers ei gentlemen's car
riages they will net work a bait-day for tbe
same aum. A lackey will net toil an hour
for a quarter of a dollar if he can get as
much by handing a rope match or a tooth
pick. A distaste ler all work which brings
gain slowly lollews, and tbe real working
classes are hence constantly depleted.
In conclusion Mr. Heward thinks that the
question of wrvantleelng deserves serious
and dignified discussion, and believes tbat
the evil la net yet se widespread but tbat it
may be checked it all who are opposed te It
en principle will firmly refuse te submit
te tbe Imposition and will de what they can te
create or strengthen public sentiment against
It. II net checked when It may be, wbere will
It end ? The waiter's unqualified admiration
cannot be bad en low terms, for all larueas
dispensers knew tbat he invariably places
the standard at the greatest grattulty he has
ever received, besides which all etbera ap
pear small and mean. He la net te be blamed
ter this. He must draw the line somewhere.
But ha I net practical Americans better draw
tbe line en a business basis, and pay only for
what they get ?
