Experiments have been further con-
ducted in the application of electricity to
shrinking hats and patents applied for
covering the process in every way.
It has been found that the action of
the electric current upon wool bodies is
even more remarkable than upon for,
even finished blankets being shrunken in
several inches in a short space of time..
Wool hat bodies have also been plank-
ed into size in three hours by hand,witll-
out the aid of soap or acid, that would
take several hours with the aid of both
in a machine.
The matter has now got beyond the
range of experiment and ianow an ac-
complished fact. and will shortly be in

Extracts from an Interesting l'aper read
liafara the New London Board of
Trada.
The following extracts from a paper
by Dudley B. Chapman of New London.
on the “Inequalities of Town Taxation"
are of particular interest:
Eighty-one towns, or nearly half the
number in the state, have no bonds list.
ed. Among these are lleriden, Vernon
and Putnam and the large city of Wat-
erbury returns only 8750 and some other
wealthy communities have an equally
insignifimnt amount. The whole of Tol-
land county taxes bonds to the value of
“.500. and Windham county, outside
the towns of Brooklyn and Windham,
has less than “2,000 worth taxed. Nine
towns in the state report having no mon-
ey st interest. No man doubts but many
millions of western mortgages are owned
in Connecticut, yet all the money at in.
tered at home and abroad taxed in this
stateis only .6 btllfiil, and I wr lbs per
Cent. of this is listed Ill tluu; towns.
. It is reported that the rate of taxation
is lower in New London than in any otb.
er city of the state, while Bridgeport and
Waterbury contend for the honor of
having the highest rate. In my opinion.
if .the property in the three cities was
smeared at its full market value their tax
rates would be nearly uniform.
Taking the last census for a unit of
population and the grand lists of the star»
eml towns of the state in 1880 asa unit
of property, there are two towns in the
state who-re the property per capita is
less than $200. These are East Haven
and Voiuntown. There are twelve towns
in the state where it is between .200 and
8300. The are forty-four towns where it
is between $300 and 8400. There are
fifty-four towns where it is between $400
and $00, notably among theseia Water-
bury, where it averages “70 per capita.
There are thirty towns where it is be
tween $500 and 8600, among these are
Meriden 8550 and Norwich 85" There
are eight towns in which the average is
between $600 and 3700, among which
are Bethlehem W0 and lloshen 8810,
small country towns in Litcblield coun-
ty. There are seven towns where it is
berI't'ri $700 and 8800, among which
are New London 6715 and Middletown
3730. There are three where the aver-
age is between $800 and 8900. These are

WINNII’LUK I"!
Two well- known married ladies of this
place. on their w sy to ylslt friends lnths
borough the other day. had an unpleas-
ant experience. They took a short out
scro- tbe Amphitheatre grounds,expsct-
ing they could cross on the old bridge
that long ago spannsd thsriver. Finding
the bridge gone. and espying a vow boat
near by they set sail on the llmpld waters
of the factory pond. onsol them onetim-
hered by a baby and the other by a hand
aatcbel., l’uahiiigolf from shore it was
soon demonstrated that they could man-
age a boat about as well as a woman can
throw a stone at a chicken. for the host
soon stuck fast just off shore, and no
amount of coaxing or persuasion would
cause it to budge. Here, In this prsdlw
ment,the ladies remained-no one knows
how long. Their shouts were finally
heard on shore and they were rescued -
and reached their friends house just in
time for tea. They would have been all
right, probably, if It hadn‘t been for the
baby and the satchel.

Business is undoubtedly and decidely
dull in every department of the hat trade
from the factory to the retailer. and al-
ready lalk about fall trade is heard in
the case and commission houses. It is
generally conceded that the spring busi-
ness has been below the average, and
this in the face of what must be acknow-
ledged good hat weather.
be accounted for upon the theory that
large stocks were carried over from the—
fall. a theory that is founded upon facts,
if reports of traveling men are to be re-
lied upon. TII 2 second trips were gener-
ally destitute of pleasant results In the
way of orders. and duplicates have been
comparatively scarce. With all this
there is sure to be a brisk demand for ‘
light colon in April. so the season can
hardly be considered as closed.
There is a feeling of uneasiness in the
trade over the present system, or rather
lack of system, concerning dates and
discounts, and it is to be hoped that the
recent movement looking to the sdop
tion I f rules and regulations by the en-
tire trade may result in definite good.
The whole subject of dating ahead has
been written up and written out until
there is nothing further to say, but it
may not have occurred to all our readers
that at certain times twice a year the
casesnd commission houses are carry-
ing an entire season's business. and it
seems time that the hat trade should
once more devote its attention to selling
hats and not discounts—H atter and
Farrier.
