AFFECTING SCENE IN COURT. - The
Bridgeport Comm Standard relates the fol-
lowing:
Two brothers named Adams, of West
port, have been on unfriendly terms for
several years. and a short time ago they
came to blows. Each of them complained
to justice and each of them was found
guilty of a breach of the peace. Both ap-
pealed. Their cases came before the Sup.
erior Court last week and one of them was
found guilty, and in the case of the other
the jury could not agree. Friday morning
Judge Foster called both of them before
hun and talked to them in a most serious
manner, and after short review of the
affair, told them that it was shameful for
them to conduct in such manner toward
each other. Even the strangers live in
peace and why should not you. You have
not even the excuse Ofyouth and hot blood,
but have arrived at an age when the pas
sions should be under CONTROL He then
appealed to one of them in a slightly sar-
castle manner: You have always used your
brother well?'-'yes'-'and he has always
abused youY-'yes.' He then turned to the
other with the same questions, and receiv-
ed similar answers. Then said he, you
are both to blame. There is fault on both
sides, and don't know which is the worse
He thew showed them the folly Of their
present dispute, and admonished them il

House cleaning is great horror to nine men

hearth "wide berth" Oceans OF suds-the
product Of tuDs Of soap-fairly flood every part
Of the house. The women, from the mistress
down, labor rs they never worked before, and
what with the discomfort, the smell of suds and
the dampness, and not unfrequently sickness,
the product Of colds and Overwork, matters
are generally disagreeable. The simple use OF
sapolio instead Of soap does away with all this
discomfort. 1t llghtens the labor hundred
