Vermont's State Flower. The legislature of Vermont has nussed and the governor has signed a bill making tlie red clover the state flower. It lias been dedicated with public proceedings, and an official en graving bearing it lias been ordered to be prepared. The red clover, says the Youth's Companion, which paper sug gested the use of the flower, is an ap propriate emblem for \ ermont for sev eral reasons. It has been called tin symbol of industry, and Vermont is ' one of the most industrious of states In a special way it is the symbol of tin stock raising and dairying industry, which has long been prominent in Ver mont. It is a plant and a flower dear to the farmer; and In Vermont the farmer is everything. The spontnno ousness and complete unanimity with which the red clover was selected, it spite of the fact that other flowers were strongly recommended by public journals, showed that the people of tin state held it in that degree of affection which should be requisite for tlie- selec tion and use of any emblem. The red clover is an exceedingly beautiful flower. It can be used very convenient ly as a buttonhole flower, singly; it is most beautiful of all in a bouquet; and its branching and leafy stem lends it self readily to purposes of decoration. Though the red clover is not a native American flower, but is botanicully classed as "adventitious from Europe," It Is now pretty thoroughly natural ized. The Vermonters are to be con gratulated on this definite possession of a state flower which is so pretty and so well loved. Displacing the Horse. In so far as the decadence of the com mon horse is an economic fact, a just view will see that the new industries furnish more profitable employment than horse-raising furnishes. Making bicycles and electric appliances afford; a larger aggregate of employment than these machines will displace. It is nol so precisely "a loss to the farm and a gain to the city;" for with less oppor tunity to open new lands will come an imperative demand thai our farms be put to more profit able use than rearing ordinary horses—in other words, a demand foi more labor in producing human food. The growing city, says tlie Chautau quan, means a growing demand foi farm industry. All the now men calico to the towns to make horseless buggic must be fed by new labor on the soil From a moral and esthetic point ci view the disappearance of the suffer ing horse may be expected with satis faction. The human brute may be lest In evidence; the abused beast certainly will be. The surviving horse like th< surviving dog and eat—whose practical uses vanish in advanced societies— may be a greater source of pleasure u high-class and petted servant and companion of man. IT IS high time that the civil autliori ties took in hand the matter of cruel hazing at schools. It is reported that twenty-seven students of Wcstminstei college near Newcastle, Pa., have decided to leave the college because of the exist ence of secret hazing societies umonp the students. On account of the fecenl hazing troubles the faculty was asked to break up the societies and held a meeting to consider the question, but the action taken was not radical enough to suit the anti-soeiety men. The hnzers should get into the football games if they want blood. THE latest discovery is golden steel. The Sheffield manufacturers are pay ing a good deal of attention to an amal gam of aluminum and bronze, which is being put on the market under the name of "gold steel," and is very suc cessful for cutlery not requiring a keen edge, such &6 forks, dessert knives, fish eaters, etc. The new alloy possesses the dual advantage of durability and beauty.

"THE great north is all right, when you reach her heart and get an expres sion of her genuine sentiment," says the Atlanta Constitution, adding: "We are beginning to understand clown south, and when there is an occasional discordant note or sectional shriek up north, it is no longer taken seriously. We can di. count the extremists on the other side < " f lie line all the more readi ly because v.e have a few ourselves." Subscribe 1 • the TBIBI NE. The divine that is in man constantly seeks after the infinite. Hence among all peoples there is an universal search ing- after God. As are the cult and the morals of the people, so their idealiza tion of the preexistent. All, however, elotlic Him with righteousness and confess Ilim to be the supreme almoner of the universe. Gratitude is neither dead nor asleep, and us men receive so the wells of thankfulness send forth bubbling waters whose ripples make music of praise. Among Christian na tions, where conceptions of the All- Good have reached greatest perfect ness, the lesson of gratitude is most fre quently taught and most universally practiced. Long anterior to the birth of the American nation the people were wont at the close of the aftermath to set apart a day in which to consider the tender mercies, the boundless love, the generous hand of God, in order that their hearts might swell and throb in responsive touch to llis beneficence. This practice, born amid the rocky hills of New England, has been per petuated annually by a nation, which, above all peoples that have been and are, has most cause to be glad. Here indeed do the rocks pour out rivers of oil, the earth yields marvelous increase and only the sins and short corn in fs of men make possible want or Buttering anywhere. Among this peo ple is the greatest personal liberty, broadest interpretation of the rights of the individual, highest aspirations after comforts and luxuries and great est general faith in the promise and ful fillment of a more exalted condition of universal happiness. With this peo ple, as with no other people, are greater diversity of climate, more varied yields of vegetation and a wider range of em ployment for the masses than is found anywhere else upon the globe. In this country men have need to their comfort to employ less hounu for labor and may devote more time to enjoyment and pleasure than the;r fellow-beings in other lands. lleealling these superior benefits our people have cause indued for gratitude: not because they enjoy privileges that would seem to be denied others lint for the reason that their lines arc east in pleasant places. The grateful heart is best capjible of appreciating, and lie who remembers his blessings cannot fail of according praise where praise belongs. '.Retrospecting the year and its results there are suggestions that the barns are filled to fatness with gold en grain, the wheels of industry whirl and whirr, the marts of trade are active with hurrying feet and the hope and promise of better things are potent. Remembering his divinity as well as his mortality; recalling the Provi dence that is over all und giveth all, he who receives should not fuil of a grate ful heart nor selfishly measure his own gifts by those of his neighbor. There are those who sorrow, because from the beginning the laughter of the joyful has rung out amid the cry o? hearts made desolate; but there is the universal promise of comfort to the mourner. At this season of the year the once green leaves are sercd, fallen upon the ground, bet rod den. under foot of man; but, the naked trees, through which t lie chilly blast of I he west wind now moans, shall, with the warming days of spring, put on new beauty and freshness. So the days that are to be give assurance of peace to spirits that may be troubled. The night comes, but the glad sun is on its course and its rays will spread life and light upon all. The mortality of man confirms suffer ing at intervals, but the divine that is in liim lifts him up out of the depths, and in the higher life he sees and adores the beneficent God of all. It is a good tiling to remember mercies, to forget afflictions and to give thanks to the All-Giver. WILLIAM ROSSKR COBBE. A THANKSGIVING IIYiJN.

An interesting little experiment, the j materials for which will be found on | the dinner table, is illustrated here: ; Teel an orange by cutting the rind through the center and removing it in the siiape of hollow half spheres. In the bottom of one of these half spheres pierce two holes side by side with a goose-quill toothpick and then place half the orange peel in a goblet, the con cave side down. The diameter of the glass should be a little smaller than that of the orauge peel, so ns to hold the latter in position halfway down the sides of the glass. Pour some red wine into t he orange peel; it. will run through the holes. Let it just reach the level m ttjli r f T— :-o: where it touches the bottom of the orange peel. Now pour water into the glass until it is almost full and watch the result. You will see a thin red film rising through one o* the holes to the level of the water, while the water, which is heavier than the wine, de scends through the other hole to the bottom of the glass. In a short time, instead of having the wine below and the water above the orange skin, the conditions are reversed, both liquids having completely changed places. Two goose quills may be placed in the holes, one going downward and one upward, but they arc not indispensable to the success of the experiment. ACTION OK THE RAIN. llow If Assist* In ti© Process of Wearing Away Huge Rocks. The rain hilling on the rocks sinks into every crack and crevice, carrying with it into these fissures surface ma terial which has been degraded by the weather, and thus affording a matrix sufficient to start the growth of vegeta tion, and afterward to maintain the plants. The fibers and roots of these plants, bushes and trees thus brought into life, growing and expanding, act ns wedges to split up the surface of the rock and to commence the process of wearing away. From this quality of destruction a large class of plants de rive the name of Saxifrages, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrating into the minute fissures in search of water, and so assisting in the process of disintegration. In Winter the water collected in the hollows and crevices becomes frozen, and expanding as it changes into ice, acts like a charge of blasting material in breaking up the rocks. The pieces thus detached be come further disintegrated by frost and weather, and being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down the moun tain currents are ground gradually smaller and smaller, till from frag ments of rock they become bowl ders, then pebbles, and finally sand. As the mountain stream merges into the river, the pebbles and coarse sand continue to be rolled along the bottom of the channel, while the argil laceous particles and salts become mingled with the water, and flow on with it either in suspension or solution —Longman's Magazine. IV!ULTICHARGE CARTRIDGE. Putting Powder In Separate Compart inontH Instead of Only One. The idea of subdividing the charge of power behind a projectile, so as to dis tribute the expansion of gas more even ly along the bore of a cannon, lias been tried in several ways. The Hurst multi charge cartridge, described a year ago, provided for concentric layers of ex plosive, to be ignited successively. J. J). Hradley, of Johnson's Creek, Niag ara county, N. Y., proposes to modify this plan in two ways. He would ar range the powder in several small cylinders, grouped about a central one, and he would employ in one cartridge two or more explosives, differing in the quickness of their action. The center tube, for instance, might carry slow powder, two or four of the six outer chambers a medium grade, and two a still quicker article. Ordnance experts will be invited to consider the possible advantages of this system before long. —N. V. Tribune. The Force of Lightning. A German professor lias been investi gating the energy developed by a light ning stroke. At Klausthal a lightning stroke struck the wooden post of n house and fused two nails four milli meters thick. Experiments made aft erwards by Messrs. Siemens and of fieri in, showed that a current of 200 amperes and 20,000 volts was required to do this work in one second. This represents about 7,000 horse-power, and, taking the duration of the light ning as one-tenth of n second, the total power would ko tea times as much. IIS NICARAGUA CANAL Report of the Commission Adverse to the Project. Not Advisable To Rcgin Work at All—Nearly Twice as Much Money Needed as Was Estimated A Number of Changes in the Pro posed Ilouto Suggested. Washing-ton, Nov. 26. —The report of the commission to look into the af fairs of the proposed Nicaraguan canal is at variance with all previous prom ises and plans made public, inasmuch as it may alter the entire prospect for the canal. The commission declares that, from the data now in hand, it is not advisable to begin work at all, and that the undertaking would bo full of danger. The Maritime Canal cora pany estimated it would cost 809,893,- 600 to complete the canal, but the re port says that sum is not large enough and makes a provisional estimate of 8133,472,803. A wider channel, says the commissioners, is needed, and new sur veys must he taken. A number of changes from the present proposed route of the canal are suggested, and many (laws in the former plans pointed out. Too much money was devoted. | the commissioners think, in learning the j country's topography, and too little to j learning cost and practicability of such , a canal. Tills ULACKSIONG WKECK. Coroner Illumes Conductor Howard and the Company. Woonsocket, R. 1., Nov. 20. —Coroner •Fames I. llotchkiss of North Smithfield yesterday filed his report on the wreck at the Blackstono roundhouse on Oct. ft, which caused tho death of Chester R. Lawton and Edward Fay, The coroner blames, in n measure, conductor Her bert Howard of the Waterford freight, who threw the switch, and tho com pany. The change of running the trains from the right to tho left track: t lie deranging of the block system and the confusion which resulted in the hurried orders to make tho changes, place the responsibility to some extent on the company. The evidence does not disclose the fact whethor or not the changes of the switches could have been made sooner. II AN NIG AN'S CASE. Tho Acquitted Man Sent to the State Insane Asylunt.

Demand for Staples Increases —Basl- ness Failures—Exports of Wheat. Bank Clearings—ltallroad Barn* ings—LargorJ Orders for Woolens, Shoes and Holiday Specialties. New York, Nov. 23. —Bradstreet's to-day says that the cheek to general trndo which has been conspicuous for the past fow weeks still continues. Un seasonably mild weather and rain have intensified this feature, which is more conspicuous south, where the decline in the price of cotton and consequent chech to shipments are held to be partly responsible. But the demand for staples increases on the appearance of seasonably cold weather, the result being 1 larger orders for woolens, shoes, rubbers and holiday specialties. Various Manufactured Products. While Philadelphia textile manufac turers are fairly well they declare it is without material profits. Boston advices are that foreign woolen dress goods are well cleaned up, and the advance on men's heavyweights is sustained. Wool remins quiet, with a fair inquiry, although manufacturers arc not adding to stock. Uncertainty as to prices of leather checks buying of shoes by retailers, which depresses the manufacturing industry. There is less demand for iron and steel, and prices for standard varieties arc lower, about one-half of the year's advance having been lost. It will be borne in mind, however, that most of these de clines arc on sales from stock. A con siderable order if placed with makers might have a different effect. Business Failures. Business failures show a marked in crease, numbering 333 throughout the United States, against 279 last week, SOS in the week a year ago, and 358 in the third week ol November, 1893. In the corresponding week, 1692, the total was only 185. The bulk of the increase is in the middle and western states. Exports of whent from both coasts of the Ignited fitatcs from Montreal this week, wheat flour included as wheat, amount to 2,918,000 bushels, against 2, 32."), 000 bushels last week and 4,083,- 000 in the like week in 1891. Bank Clearings. Notwithstanding continued evidence of a moderate reduction in the volume of business in recent weeks, the total value of bank clearings continues of large proportions 81,126,000,000 which, while it is 3.7 per cent, less than last week, is fully 10 per cent, larger than in the third week of November, 1893, and 2 per cent, more than in the corresponding week of 1892. When contrasted with the like period in 1891, this week's total shows a decline of only 10 per cent. Prices of Staples. No less striking than a week ago is the comparatively long list of decreases of prices for stnploa, among thein Bessemer pig iron and steel billets, wheat, corn, oats, pork, lard and among food products and cotton, pe troleum, hides and live cattle and hogs. Practically unchanged quotations are reported for turpontine and rosin, to bacco, leather, lumber and coal. Ball way Earn lugs. Net railway earnings of roads repre senting 75 per cent, of the railroad earning capacity of the country point to a steady sustained growth in the volume of net receipts for nine months of the year as compared with a year ago. This favorable showiog is not confined to any one group of compan ies, hut is shared to a greater or less degree by the roads generally, so that the position of the railroad interests of the country genorally is much bettor this year thun a year ago. The central western, coal, southwestern, trunk, eastern and granger roads show the heaviest increases in net over a year ago in the order named.
