Mrs. Raymond Long of Rocky Ridge is
lying quite ill and not expected to hive the
week out.
A small child of Mr.. Joshua Whitmorc
was buried yesterday at Rocky Ridge; Rev.
Wire preached the funeral sermon.
FIRE.-Thc Creamery of Bisys & Barrick
at Rocky Ridge caught on fire las, Thursday
evening and had it not been for the early
discovery of the flames penetrating through
the roof at the chimney, the factory would
have in all probability been reduced to ash
es. The fire caught from a coal stove used
in the cheese room. This factory is equipped
in the latest and most improved machinery,
and its destruction would have been felt by
many Of the farmers.
To sho Y this more plainly, Twill mention
q few figures and facts Of which Mr.. Biggs
recently informed me of the business, that
may be of interest to the readers Of The
CLARION, especially farmers.
He states they opened up Aug. 1st and
with the close Of the month the receipts OF

closed with $4,000 ponds, and Nov. closes
with the large increase over the first mont h
of $4,000 pounds, or for the month of Nov.
they received 10000 pounds Of milk. This
is an evidence that their enterprise is great
benefit to the community and is being real
lied as such by the farmers.

PERMANENT WATER SUPPLY. We are
Authorized to make the following statement
by a firm, one member of which is we'll and
personally known to us and which firm is
reliable and regularly and largely engaged in
the business referred to below
The proposition Is. that, without the in
vcstment of one dollar upon the part of the
citizens of this town, the firm will upon a
reasonable guarantee of support, place all
the equipments necessary for a sufficient
permanent water supply in this town. The
guarantee will consist, first of a certain num-
Der of fire plugs which will be placed at so
much apiece per year, the corporation to
pay for the same and secondly, n certain
amount of revenue reasonably guaranteed
the firm by individual subscription to water
rates, that Is having water placed in the
house, or hydrants for pave washing and
street sprinkllng, Now, inasmuch as the
real property of the town would Ray the
taxes which would need to be raised to pay
for the fire plugs, it may be well to state that
every insurance policy held in the town
would be re-issucd at lower rate just as
soon as fire plugs would be placed on the
streets and were the taxes raised by only as
much as the fire insurance would be lessen
ed, the expense would remain the same, a
considerable sum would be obtained, and the
actual increase in expense, in order that
fair sum might be set apart by the Corpora
ton for the charge for fire plugs would be-
come but an insignificant matter. :.
1t would, of course, become necessary that
a certain amount of patronage outside Of
that of the Corporation should he guaranteed
these men, but it will scarcely be believed by
most of our citizens how little patronage
will need be assured the builders in order
that they shall carry out the project. They
say that patronage in paying amount viii
come, once the water is here.
These men as we have said are reliable
and mean business and if our people want
water introduced into our town it is only
necessary that they should get together and
determine the fact, when the parties referred
to will put water through our streets, in
stantcr. 1t would of course be necessary
that vote be taken and Local Law be
passed by the Legislature covering certain
necessary points in the matter and if there
are those among US, who have any thought
of seeing such project carried through, lei
them 60 to work to secure the sympathy
and support of the people and we will agree
to do our share in the way of publishing
whatever may be said pro and con on the sub
ject, will print any meeting notice desired
will answer every question as fully and in
telllgently as possible and Will, whenever il
becomes necessary, produce the men who
will invest their money in the enterprise, the
great bulk Of which will be expended righ
here in our town.
Rise up people and embrace golden OPP
portunity.

Receiving and Returning Calls.

The demands of etiquette are such that
much time is necessarily spent in the re-
ceiving and returning calls. When once
this round is accomplished and your pleas
ant circle of friends is established, it
would be we'll to let those friends know
that there will always be one evening
when you will be at home and ready to
welcome them-not that they will be I'M
welcome at other times, but by this method
more freedom is gained for other things.
We all need diversion and recreation at
times, and it's mistake to suppose that
you are always to be sufficient of your
selves for amusement. but the young
woman who considers it her duty to pro-
vide some entertainment for each evening
of her Fife will. sooner or later. find her
mistake. Soon. what began as pleasant
performance. becomes to be considered by
him as Il right, and when. by reason of
other cares and duties the wife cannot
always be at leisure, she finds that by her
own act she has laid on herself unneces-
sary burdens. This custom grows largely
out of the fear that the monotony of home
life may become irksome to one who has
had the freedom of male companionshp
Let these companions find themselves
welcome in the little home circle. if thev
are suitable ones, if not, then the sooner
the connection is broken the better. The
social duties you owe to your friends are
important and should be kept up. If you
would preserve your friends YOU must
not neglect to observe the claims of so
ciety upon you-not for dinners or balls,
but the ordinary courtesies of life.

Eating In the Evening

One CT the popular errors of this coun-
try is that which regards eating heartily
in the evening as detrimental to health.
Almost anyone can find score of per
sons among his acquaintance who have
dinner at two or three O'Clock in the af-
ternoon because they are unwilling, later
in the day, to trust their stomachs with
anything more solid than tea or toast If
they 60 abroad. they look upon the eat
ing on board the steamer Welsh rare
bits and the like, at ten and eleven O'Clock
in the evening, with much the same hor-
ror that they would regard an excessive
use OF liquor. But when once brought
fairly into contact with foreign habits. say
English dinners at eight and German
suppers at ten P. NJ, they usually fall
back on the supposition that the usage of
generations has fitted the digest

method of treatment as entirely wrong,
she was persuaded into following it. and
what is more, was cured in spite of her
self. If our physicians would make this
matter of diet more of study. it would
fully repay them. 1t cannot be that we
are differently organized from our brethren
across the water, and hence what long ex-
perlence has shown to he healthful for
them cannot prove otherwise for us. The
strain which our American habit of eating
puts upon the physical system is. that it

The Nursery.

Do not let your baby sleep with an ell
DERBY person or with an invalid. delicate
children should never be the bedfellows
of the healthy.
/ After Baby is laid in the crib for night
or day nap feel his feet, to be certain they
are warm. II cold, wrap them in heated
flannel No modern device of foot muff
or hot-water bottle is more effectual for
this purpose than the old woman's appli-
ance of hot flannel petticoat.
To keep a baby quiet who has passed
the age when everything goes into the
mouth, touch the tips of thumbs and FORE
fingers with gum-water or dissolved gela-
tine. and give him downy feather to play
with. He will spend half an hour in pick
ing it from one adherent finger to another.
and so back again.
A string of spools, especially if the
cord be bright-colored, is more welcome
plaything to ayearling baby than the most
expensive toy you can buy, and three
year-od will thread wooden button
moulds with blunt darning-needle in in
finite content while mammals sewing goes
on. G@1oGH5
When baby screams passionately for a
coveted plaything do not give it to him
until he is quiet again. He will soon
comprehend that the surest way not to get
what he wants is to cry for it. A little
firmness in this respect will spare the
mother much trouble, the child more

unseemly in baby or in grandfather. AS
offensive is the trick of licking the fingers
after eating. Nursery-educatio is defec-
tive when slovenly habits of this sort are

It is not generally known that stammer-
ing is contagious. Nine children out OF
ten will contract the habit to some extent
by constant intercourse with a playfellow
thus afflicted. Be on your guard against
the first appearance of halt or hang
in articulation, and stop the blunder in
stantly before the word is uttered. Then
insist upon slow and correct repetition OF
what tripped up the tongue. A few les
sons of this sort will often prevent the
evil.
A little salt used in the preparation of
children's food makes it palatable and
