It is a businesslike document free from a‘ll‘dc-bbl’l‘or ambiguity. An interesting featuré and onelthat should be copied by our new board, is the record kept of orders given, and distributions made to the outside poor. This record contains the name and address, of every person and. family assisted, the number in the family and amount. One family had 13 members. The largest amounts paid to any families were $179, $174 and $150. The smallest amount paid was 15 cents vior medicine. \ A list of temporary and permanent inmates of the almshouse is given, with their birthplace and age. During the The oldest inmati was 8:). There were 11 over 70. The third new department is a list 0 hospital inmates and the expense ac- » counts of each. The number cared for in each hospital is as follows. Con- necticut Hospital for the Insane, 53; Waterbury hospital, 67; General Hos- pital society, 15; Grace Hospital soci- ety. 1. A' town store is kept by Waterbury, where'groceries, purchased at whole- aale, are distributed. The detailed re- port of the superintendent of this town storeshows the amount 'in pounds of each article distributed upon the order of the selectmen: Beans, 3,9665; coffee, 993%; codfish, 1.051; buckwheat, 752; flour, 25,553; oat meal, 1,911; pork, 778,634; potatoes, 23,1425; rice, 1,2115; sugar, 17,108; tea, 1,168. The items of amiscellanecus accounts are republished in a table by them- selves in order, probably. to show what some of the extraordinary expenses of the year were. I The almshcuse acount‘s show that the corn meal. and city of Waterbury paid to the town for board of prisoners c561.71. When the selectmeu wish to make a temporary loan they draw an order for the amount upon the same blank as used in other departments. .This serves all the purposes of a demand note. It is taken to the town treasurer, who in- dorses it, and itis then held against the town. If, when it is presented, there is not enough money in the town treas- ury to pay, it is provided by ’ statutes that it shall draw at 6 per? cent. from the time it is presented for payment. In fact this same rule holds good in the case of a’ny order presented, which can- not for any reason, be paid. It Will be seen at a glance what an improvement the Waterbury system of keeping its town accounts is upon that which has for long years been inlprac- tice here in Norwalk. Even little Wil- ton is ahead of us in the matter of Like our city system, it has stated times when all or“ give 111}; out town orders. ders are acted upon by the board, and the fullest publicity is accorded. CO. Growing Gold Production. 0-x: ol’ the stock asseitions of the free manage udVUCattS is that the gold pro duciion of the world does not keep pace with the world’s needs; that it is large— ly absoibed in the manufacture of jaw- elry, restricting the amount available iul‘ coinage and tending to increase its Valut‘, and thus to increase the actual wealth of CllllltallSlS to the impoverish- 'l‘hc trouble With this assertion is that it is not truthful. merit of the masses. The reports of the United States mint tor the _\, cars 1893 and 1894 place the entire gold production of the world for 1893 at $157,000,090 and for 1891 at 8180,- 000,000, Advance estimates for the cur- rent year indicate an increase of $20,- 000,000 over 1894, or a total of $200,000,- 000, making an aggregate gold pro- duction for the three years of $537,000,- 000. No one posseSSed of common sense believes that this vast sum has been consumed in the arts, or that the amount devoted to coinage purposes has failed to keep pace With expanding llilalicliil requirements. the mere publication of these statis- tics should dispose of the idea cf the necessity of free silver coinage because of a lack of. gold for money purposes. The further fact that the United States produced $46,000,000 of gold for 1895, leading all other countries except South Afl‘lCi‘, demonstrates the absolute folly oi - the proposition that this country shall abandon the gold standard, and riduce its financial, standard to that of the half-civilized and pagan nations. The country that leads all other coun- tri... in gold production can best of all other nations afford to maintain its cur. re ucy at the gold standard, and least of all others afford to do anything else.

The rain falling on the rocks sinks in- to every ‘ crack and crevice, carrying with it into these-fissures surface mate- rial which has been degraded" by the weather, and. thus afifording' a matrix suflicient 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 as wedges tosplit up the surface of the rock and to cOmmence the process of wearing away. From thisxquality of de- struction a large class of plants derive the name of saxifrages, or rock break- ers, from their roots penetrating into the minute fissures in search of water, and so assisting in the process of disintegra- tion. In winter the water collected in the hollows and crevices becomes froz- en, and expanding as it changes into ice acts like a charge of blasting mate- rial in breaking up the rock. The pieces thus detached become further disinte- grated by frost and weather, and, being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down the mountain torrents, are ground gradually smaller and smaller, till from fragments of rock they become bowlers, 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 chan- nel, while the ragillaceous particles and salts become mingled with the water and flow on with it either in suspension or solution. , ~- . While this disintegrating process is going on inland the rocks and clifis on the coast exposed to the sea are sufi‘er- ing.degradation by a similar process and are also being worn away by the inces- sant action of the waves of the ocean beating on them and attacking them, not only with the impact of the water, but also with the fragments broken off, which, dashed against the face from which they have been eroded, are hus used as implements of destructi n.— Longman’s Magazine.
