Henry Curtis, the Stratford veteran, was 90 years old on the 9th inst There are some curious features in his history. He has al ways lived in the house in which he was born in 1795. For Iwenty-three years past he has always on his birthday visited his in Bridgeport and the day has never been stormy. With the exception of his sight, his faculties are well preserved. He remembers all the Presidents except Washington, served in the militia in the war of 1912 and remem- bers the scare when two British frigates an chored off Bridgeport one afternoon. Bridge port was then called Newfeld and there were but seven houses in East Bridgeport.

TAUNTON Mass. Dr. Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y.:
 Dear Sir-I am engineer the Old Colony Railroad, and run the Fall River boat train between Fall River and Lowell, residing in Taunton. For ten years suffered everything but death from dys pepsia. Often had such blinding sick headaches could scarcely see think this due partly to irregular habits of eating, and partly to the jar of the engine. Sometimes my head would snap like neuralgia, and again the pain would settle in my eexes. which would feel as big mans fists My breath was very offensive, and my food Soured as soon as it entered my stomach. In fact my stom ach felt as though it were great raw and sore face, and what agony it gave perhaps you can i'm agine.
 In the summer and fall of 1876 when we had the heavy centennial travel the constant jar brought acute attacks nearly every week and thought should have to leave the road But kept at work until the next spring, when grew so much worse that could virtually eat nothing, and I concluded that my labor, and my life too, were about over.
 Remember that I had tried every medicine heard of and had been treated by some of the best physicians in Taunton and Lowell At this critical time DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REM EDY was recommended to me. It was new to me- and with my experience of medicines, you easi- ly forgive me for saying that had not particle of faith in it.
 had taken it but few days when began to get better. The raw and sore feeling left my stomach, all right, and have been ever since It is the only thing thas ever did me the least good and it drove every ache pain and discomfort completely out of my body.

A Ribbon.

From the Youths Companionl
 In one of the London hospitals, about year ago, an assistant surgeon became inter- ested in one of the patients, poor child of
 ten, suffering from hip disease. She lay day after day in her little white cot, with nothing to occupy her thoughts but her pain. The young surgeon saw her one day trying to make a doll of her finger, playing with it, and at last giving up with weary sigh, turning to watch the sunlight creeping over her bed, as she had done for months. That afternoon the doctor, passing shop, bought a long, soft ribbon, of exquisite rose color, and gave it to little Katey. She was breathless with pleasure, smoothed it out, ! held it up, aoft and shining, in the sun, and | looked at her friend speeches. with tears of ! ecstacy. From that time she was rich The | nurse told the doctor, 8 week later, that the child played with the ribbon all day, twisted | it about her head, playing that she was a | bride, princess, a fairy; held it in her hand l while she slept, and laid it, folded in paper, under her pillow at night.
 | It was found necessary after two months I to perform @ capital operation on the child, l one which if unsuccessful is fatal. It was done by two of the foremost surgeons in Lon 1 don. When the poor little sufferer was laid 1 upon the table, she cried for Dr. S.. "He | is all the friend I have," she sobbed. l 'Send for him, said the surgeon, and the young assistant, blushing furiously, was
 brought in. He held one of Kateys hands;
 the other was clinched tightly over pink
 roll, which dropped from her grasp during
 the operation. When the effect of the ether passed, she opened her eyes and looked at Dr. S..
 "My ribbon," she whispered. He gave il to her, while the surgeons and nurses stood gravely silent The operation had been un
 successful But little Katsy smiled happily into the face of her friend, and hugging the
 faded bit of silk, fell asleep forever. It wal
 childs last days with thoughts of beauty and
 pleasure and loving kindness.

Golden Trout

From the St. Louis Grobe-Democrat.l
 'sThere is trout in Whitney creek, trib-
 utary of Kern river, in Kansas" said vet
 eran New York angler, stthe like of which
 does not exist in any other water on the globe.
 It has an abode of it's own in the upper
 waters of the creek and it is not invaded by
 any of the other breeds of trout which swarm
 in the waters below simply because it cannot
 be got at by them. The reason of this is very simple About six miles from the head of the creek there is perpendicular waterfall 15O feet high. The rock down which the water tumbles is solid and smooth on it's face from base to summit There are no protruding lodges or hollows at short in tervals on the rock, by means of which other trout, with leap after leap, from ledge to ledge and hollow to hollow, can scale this watery precipice as they do in the case of thousands of high waterfalls elsewhere, and no trout or salmon that ever climbed from mouth to head of the steepest mountain streams can go up this sheer fall of 150 feet. Consequently the trout above the fall have have never been disturbed by interlopers of different variety, and they live by them selves in the pure, cold water, the most l splendid family of fresh water fish,
 -ssThev are a fish literally bespangled with l burnished gold and dashed with spots of the brightest crimson. The first time I ever saw 1 one of the trout I actually thought it had | been ornamented by the person who had it l with flakes of gold leaf and it's red spots had
 been heightened in color with the brush. But this is their natural appearance and when they are taken from the water and the sunlight strikes them they glitter as if they l were clad in brilliant armor. They are called | the golden trout, and they take fly just the
 same and flight as gamely. Their flesh is nc better. It is their beauty alone that places l them at the head of this great fish family l noted for it's beauty"

REFORM IN DRooKLYN.

Civil service reform is a good thing so far as federal and State governments are con cerned, and it is perhaps even better when applied to the government of cities. This is becoming plain in Brooklyn, where reform is being thoroughly tested.
 Before the Mayor of Brooklyn formulated his civil service regulations positions in the city service were regarded by those in office as their personal perquisites, and were dis tributed at the dictation of those who were regarded as useful to their party because of their prominence in it's councils The result of this system of appointment was that those selected for places shirked their work under the assurance that as long as they were cer- tain of the backing" that secured them place any interference with them would be prevented. Now public employees are com ing to appreciate the fact that their tenure of office depends upon the faithful discharge of duty, and to understand that if they fail in this particular there are competent men waiting to supplant them. Another of the advantages that have followed the ignoring of politics in connection with appointment to public po- sitions is that the employees are free from the importunities of the collectors of assessments for partisan purposes. All this has been changed and Democratic and Re- publican collectors are alike discovering that their occupation is gone. Under the old sys- tern public employees were often ordered to change their places of residence to colonize some ward or district to aid the aspirations of their political bosses or to help to defeat those who might be opposing their partisan patrons. Instructions to make these trans fers are no longer regarded by the city em- ployes, as they feel that so long as they faithfully discharge their duties they are se- cure of their positions.
 The chief engineer of the pumping station connected with the Brooklyn water works re-
 ports that there has been during the past
 year no political influence to disturb the em,
 ployes, and that, as 8 consequence of immu' nifty from this influence, not an idler is per nittsd to remain upon the works. This if as it should be. There is no place where civil service reform is more needed than 1T large cities, and the example of Brooklyr ought to be widely initiated.

remounts and perfect knowledge of the coun- try"
 Siege guns built of wire are the newest kind of ordnance for the British national ser
 vice. A very tough steel wire is used, hay ing breaking strength of one hundred tons
 to the square inch, which is wound over
 steel tube as tape may be wound on reel,
 being frequently fastened off to secure it's
 cohesion and so neatly put together as to
 look precisely like solid metal. An expert
 mental howitzer has been made upon this
 principle, and passed satisfactory proof at
 the Royal Arsenal Woolwich. It has cali
 bre of 10 in., but weighs only about seventy
 cwt. In it's trial this threw shell of three
 hundred and sixty pounds, with a charge of
 twenty eight pounds, and attained velocity
 of one thousand feet per second-a result
 which may be compared with two guns of
 a similar weight which are at present in the
 service One of these is the ei Int inch how tiger, which fires 8 shell of just half the
 weight-name1y, one hundred and eighty
 pounds-with a velocity of nine hundred and fifty feet, and the other is the one hundred pounder gun of 6.6 cabibre, which with it's light shot of one hundred pounds manages to reach velocity of one thousand three hun dred and ninety feet per second. The trial weapon seems in no way impaired by the strain to which it has been subjected.
 The New York Times gives the prohibi- tionists some sensible advice, which they are probably not sensible enough to take. It says that in trying to build up a party for themselves they take from both of the old parties all inducements to help them to any thing, and the only result will be that they \ will have the privilege of standing up to be l counted This will merely show their weak ness, as there is not the slightest probability of the prohibitionists ever being a majority party. The sentiment in favor of prohibi- \ tion is not growing, and wherever it has | been tried, the most dispassionate judges | agree in pronouncing it failure. The pro | hibition orators statistics may assert that | the cause of prohibition is growing, but they ! also assert that intemperance and liquor sell | ing are growing also and both cannot be true | The Times also says that the policy of pro hibition is not only regarded as impractica ble by most thinking people, but by many il ! is honestly believed to be undesirable. It if ! not true that total abstinence is the only temperance, and sensible people know that ii
 is not true, and while they support every
 reasonable effort to check or prevent intem
 perance and to mitigate it's evils they vii I not sustain the policy of prohibition.
