WHY CAT WASHES ITS FACE-A cat
caught sparrow, and was about to devour
it, but the sparrow said, mo gentleman will
eat till he washes his face" The cat, struck
with this remark, set the sparrow down, and
began to wash his face with his paw, but the
sparrow flew away. This vexed puss ex-
tremely and he said, "As long as l live will
eat first and wash my face afterward," which
all cats do even to this day. Moral-Always

Chambers describes this bun as follows -
=" 1t is a rather small bun, more than usually
spiced, and having its brown sugary surface
marked with cross" These buns are on
every breakfast table in England from the
Queen down to that of the poorest family in
the island
The origin of this custom may be traced
to very ancient date, and probably has some
connection with the miracle of the five barley
loaves. 1t is said piece of ancient sculpture

loaves with cross on each Religious bread,

fact, nearly all of the customs that cluster

THE EVERY DAY DARLING.

BY II. II.
4. She is neither beauty nor genius,
. And no one would call her WISE
In crowd of other women
She would draw no strangers eyes:
Even we who love her are puzzled
To say where her preciousness lies;
She is just an everyday darling;
In that her preciousness lies.
She is sorry when others are sorry,
=. So sweetly, one likes to be sad
!. And II people around her are merry.
She Is almost gladder than glad.
Her sympathy is the swiftest.
The truest Il heart ever had;
She is Just an everyday darling,
The dearest that hearts ever had.
Her hands are so white and little,
1t seems as if il were wrong
They should ever work for moment,
And yet they are quick and strong.
If any dear one needs helping,
She will work the whole day long;
The precious everyday darling,
Every day and all day long.
She is loyal as knights were loyal,
In the days when no knight lied,
And for sake of love or of honor,
If 1t need be, a true knight died;
But she dreams not she Is drawer
Than the women by her side,
This precious everyday darling,
Who makes sunshine at our side.
All envy her, Beauty and Genius,
And women the world calls wise;
The utmost of all your triumphs
Would be empty in her eyes.
To love and be loved is her kingdom;
In this her happiness lies
God bless her, the every day darling.
In this her preciousness lies.

Almost all the vehicles and other proper
ty of the London circus, which arrived in
Bridgeport Saturday night, have been
housed, One feature of the work o!
getting the effects under cover was novel
and interesting. Some of the chariots are
very heavy, weighing several tons, and
were sunk deeply in the soft soil. Too
many horses to be used conveniently would
have been required, and accordingly the
elephant trainer brought two of the six
teen elephants of the herd into requisition.
Ii was interesting to see how lnteliigently
the beasts did what was required of them,
and to observe their tremendous strength.
farming their trunks around the hubs OF
spokes, they lifted the vehicles out of the
ruts. and after carrying them into the
building, shifted them to any position
desired. One of the chsriots, which they
picked up with ease. weighed five tons. Ii

Principles Necessary TO Success.

II there is one thing more than another
that entities political party to respect it
is adherence to principles and non afiia-

pies. That is to say, no trades or fusions
for success which. IN order to secure.

dered. The great, overreaching desire
has been in some localities anything fol
success. IF the party leaders had paused
for moment and considered after result:
from such success, there would have beer
few mistakes of this sort. In the frs
place party must have the confidence o.
the people and to secure this must show
an honesty of purpose, which with en:anE-
ling alliances cannot be obtained
If the Democracy in local elections as
well as state and national would adhere
strictly to principle, the people would be
more likely to rally to its support than
would be the case if political alliances were
formed.
Tho only true way to earn the confidence
of the people il to adhere strictly to party
principle, and acquire success or suffer
defeat as party. for principle.
The lessons of the past are sufficiently
numerous to warn the Democrats against
any alliance which will entail a sacrifice of
principle and in future, We may expect
the Democracy in all elections. whether
local or state, to act as a party and not
merge principle with political success. and
thereby bring discredit to the party and
disintegration of party lines.
