She was pretty, graceful creature, with a sylph-like form, and eyes like the lawn, and lips like gum drops, and teeth like pearls, and dressed like the dickens, and all that sort O nonsense-ln short she was gotten up re. gardless of expense, but she wore hoops. And when she walked nimbly into the drug store and told the spruce looking clerk she wanted some bed-bug poison, she sat down innocently in chair, and those hoops-they well, they were like the ghost of Banquo, got confused, and stammered dreamily '.yes'm, yes'm, ,-ah, what style ah, would you like, striped or whi.e silk or linen long or short? pad-'. Miss Prim interrupted to inform him that he misunderstood her; that it was bed-bug poison she wanted. s'Ah, yes'm, yes'm, seventy-fve cents pair, heel. lined, copper-toed, extra three-ply, double wire-woven, expansion balance, steel shank. elastic top"-and it was not until she as- sumed a standing position, spelled out the words be d-b-u-g poison. whistled it with three variations of triple. le.tonguing and drew picture of bed-bug on bottle, that squils came out of his ''spell" sufficiently to put up analine red by mistake.
 Coroner Bollman was called Friday morn ing to investigate another mysterious death, the summons being to Fair Haven. J. E. Bishop, jr., had discovered the body floating in the Quinnipiac river, which separates New Haven from East Haven. The body was that of woman little over 30 years old. It was thought at first that the body might be that of a Mrs. Refs, but Mrs. Refs was found to be alive. There was, during the day, suspi- cion that the body was that of Mrs. Mary Forbes, who came from Meriden and had at one time worked for the family of Samuel Culver but this was also disproved. Later it was identified as that of Mrs. Mary Rowe, sister of Anson K. Brown, who keeps a fish market in Grand street. The case is evident ly one of suicide, as she told friend (Miss Norton) that she was going to drown herself, and sent postal card to her brother to the same effect. The woman has lived in various places about New Haven recently, and for merly lived in Windsor Locks, where, year ago, she got into trouble, and during her ab- sence from home her house was pulled down She had led hard life for some time Pov. orty and despair were evidently the cause of the suicide.-AnaeTScGn

About Pensions,

The commissioner of pensions is
considering the advisability of recon-
mending congress to pass an act to
pension Union soldiers who were In
rebel prisons any length of time. The
commissioner holds that the consti-
tutions of many men were wrecked
and more injury to heir usefulness
inflicted in thousands of cases by
starvation in prison pens, than by
service in the field or wounds in battle.
The Commissioner is investigating
what such an act would cost the gov
eminent annually.

successful managers two modes are

superiority OF his OWE wav. One mode
WIS 10 keep the land perfectly c:ean.
with no chance for n pant TO grow
through the season The roots vii die
out under this treatment, the plants not
beng able to breathe above ground.
The only objection to this mode IS the
amount: of labor IL requires. and the
constant care 10 prevent any plant from
reaching the surface. For this reason
careless cultivators permit il to become
a failure. and denognee the mode rs =
Eum0ug. the only fault being their care
less application Of Il.
The mode advocated BY the other
member. aud recommended for is
