Wise Economy.

Economy is a good thing, and food
and lire are good things too; but too
much feeding will make a man a glut-
ton and ruin his digestion, and too
much fire would roast him, and just
as surely will too much needless
preaching and practicing of economy
make him miserly and mean. Not that
extravaganza Is better, or a reckless
sqnandering a virtue, but there are SO
many things to be saved more precious
mar money. To the wife and mother;
y leisure to make herself lovely In the
eyes she loves. and to be gentle and
tender, 1.-THE sweetest mother that ever
was to her children; to the man; time
rom business for culture, relaxation
ana rest; and, to the whole family;
seasons of social intercourse and en-
joyment.
An economy in vain, destinations
ulspiay cannot be too rigid; nor can we
- TOO careful of how we give to strug-
gnng Tor money the hours that belong
70 our family and our friends. The
money we do not make this year we
may get next year, but the joys and
comforts we miss now win have es-
capped us forever.
Inere are many more things that
should be said on this subject. es-
peclally in these times when the '.un-
~presedented and astonishing prosperity

The Fountain Of vitality.

The source of physical energy and mental activ-
ity, is the blood. Let this become vitiated with
bile, or thin and watery in consequence OF in
digestion and non-assimilation Of the food, and
an interruption Of the functions OF the body,
and a loss of stamina, fesh and appetite ensues.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a tonic specially
adapted to restore all three, because 1t assists
digestion and assimilation, and removes bile
and other impurities from the circulation. Pro-
tected and strengthened with this admirable de-
fensive invigorant, the system deies influences
inimical to health, to which, if unregulated and
patton, often an obstinate and chronic ailment,
Is entirely removed by it, the liver, kidneys and
bladder reused from inaction, and a tendency
TO rheumatism effectually counteracted. ltalso
eradicates malarial disease.

OF Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

cent interesting case. "A young married
lady came to me suffering with a severe
case Of PTolapsus and liberation. She
commenced taking the Compound and in
two months was fully restored. In proof
of this she soon found herself in an inter-
esting condition. Influenced by foolish
friends she attempted to evade the respon-
sibilities OF maturity. After ten or twelve
days she came to me again and she was in
deed in a most alarming state and suffered
terribly. / gave her a tablespoonful OF
the compound every hour for eight hours
until she fell asleep, she awoke much re-
lieved and evidently better. She continued
taking the Compound, and in due season
she became the mother OF a fine healthy
boy. But for the timely use Of the medi-
cine she believes her life would have been
lost.

DIR. Burt G. Wilder, the well-known
naturalist, relates that his parents
being Grahamites, his earliest years
were passed in ignorance of the fact
that people used flesh for food. By
some change of opinion, how ever, they
came to more ordinary customs, and
one day a roasted chicken was served
for dinner. The 6-year-old lad gazed
in bewilderment at this mysterious
dish for some moments, the light of a
great discovery dawned upon him and
at length he burst out in conviction
and establishment, II bet that's a
dead hen!'-a conclusion there was
no gainsaying.

Appointmentof Judges.

By constitutional provision the judges of
the Courts of Common Pleas and District
courts in Connecticut are elected for four
years; judges and associates of city, police
and borough courts for two years. To change
these terms constitutional amendment is
necessary; but it is found that generally the
appointments run out in years when the leg
islatpre is to meet under the biennial arrange
met. The term of but one Common Pleas
judge, Crump of New London county, expires
in year when the legislature will not be in
session. He was elected this year, and his
time will run out July 1, 1890. Judge
Bradst1eet's term in the Waterbury
District court expires next year, and
comes right for a reelection by the
incoming legislature and the terms
of Judges Calhoun (Hartford county,,
Studley New Haven), Hall (Fairfeld) and
Warner Uitchfeld), run to July, 1889, q
year of the legislative gathering. In the
New London county case the legislature of
1889 may re-elect for four years from 1890.
The city and borough court judges (twenty
three in alp reach expiration of their terms
in legislative years (all expiring in 1879, ex-
cepting in the cases of the judges of the Dor
ough courts elected for two years this year,
in Wallingford and Danbury. The legisla-
ture may deal with these courts as in the
Crump case.-Hartford Times.

DYNAMITE GUN CRUISER.
The Remark able Vessel That 10 Build

The Remarkable Vessel That 10 Bu1lda
ing for the Governments.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. At is now posi-
lively known that William Cramp & Sons
have made arrangements to construct dy-
Mantle gun cruiser for the government which
will be capable of running twenty knots
hour and of firing a two hundred
pound dynamite shell every two min
utes The vessel is to cost not
over $3.50, 900, but should it fail to meet the
requirements of the contract the contractors
must refund the amount expended by the
government. It is said that on account of
this requirement the contract has gone
begging for six months. The dynamite
projectile to be used is thrown from
long steel tube by means of the
sudden release of compressed air at one
thousand pounds pressure per square inch.
The value at the breech of the gun being
opened and compressed air admitted there is
no shock, but an immense velocity is at
tanned before the shell leaves the muzzle
and at range of two miles
the accuracy of the gun is
said to be remarkable The car
fridge consists of a thin copper can
of the diameter of the bore of the gun con-
tanning two hundred pounds of dynamite and
attached TO it long wooden shaft, which
steadies the flight of the shell

BENJAMIN R. ENGLISH Postmaster.



There is now being exhibited at Leipzig an
apparatus for putting criminals to death by
electricity. So long as it is found necessa-
ry to retain capital punishment upon our
statute books it may we'll be that the cleo
trio method is the most merciful and least
repulsive process that could be devised for
carrying the sentence into effect. But If
such means are ever adopted in this coun-
try the details will certainly not be carried
out in the theatrical manner which COM
mends itself to the Leipzig amateur. In
this apparatus, behind the chair in which
the condemned man is to take his seat
and by means of which, as we need not
explain in detail, his body is placed in cir
cult with powerful coil-there stands a
conventional figure of justice with ban
daged eyes, holding the balance in her left
hand and the sword in her right The Grim
inal having taken his seat, the proper func-
tionary is supposed to read over the record
of his crimes and the sentence of the law.
This ceremony completed he folds mp the
document and places it in the scale pan, the
arm of the balance descends, closes the cir
cult and all is over.
