Passengers on the New Milford spec ial, Monday night, were treated to an in- cideut which enlivened the usual routine of the ride. The train was drawn by two engines, one of which was to return to Bridgeport at 6 90, the next morning, with the regular train; the other was in- tended for the 40 train at Bridgeport, now called New Milford special No. 6 and cars for this train were attached to the rear of the evening special. When Conductor T. J. Bartley signalled Gall ready'' by waving his lantern, the lead- ing engine inquired, as plainly as two short blasts of the whistle could do it, "All right ?v and the second engine re- piled, with trace of impatience. "Yes, yes!r Then the train moved off. This was repeated at each station and afford ed much quiet amusement to the passen- gers.

ATTENTION, co. H.
To Make a Rice Pudding Without Eggs.

Find how many cups of water your pudding dish holds. If six, put in six tablespoonfuls of rice. Wash the rice by pouring in cold water, stir and pour off water; do this three times. Then six tablespoons sugar, one teaspoon salt, one half cup raisins. Now put in as much milk as you can spare and fill the dish up with cold water, put in hot oven and bake for two or three hours. When it is done, the raisins will be very tender, the rice perfectly soft and thickened up.
 Washing with Kerosene.
 It is all very well for women with plenty of money or small families to talk about the good old fashioned way of washing, but, with large family and small income, some way must be devised to save labor. There are many inven- tions of the sort gotten up by those who wish to make money. Pearline is great help and, judiciously used, will not injure clothes. One woman showed unbleached pillow cases that had been in wear for eight years aud, washed with pearline, had not break in them. Her plan was to boil the clothes in pearline and then wash, rinse and blue. Her clothes looked as white as snow. She did not begin to pick up the clothes un- til after breakfast. Did the dishes while 1 the clothes were boiling and had her washing on the line i'll time to get dinner. She had family of five. To be sure, there were no little children to hinder. Another good housekeeper uses Siddalls soap with good results. This calls for no boiling and, in that particular, is a great comfort. Another mother, who has flock of little ones to work for and no sshelp," sends in word that kerosene is the great help in washing. What kerosene? I don't believe 1 could evel make up my mind to put kerosene on my clothes! Why, always think rag is spoiled if it has kerosene on it. Don't it make the clothes smell horribly" No bit of it. There is not the slightes trace of unpleasant odor and the kerosen' : works like magic. Put your clothes asoak in cold water over night. In tn morning, wiring and put in the boile with cold water, soap and kerosene. Tn rule is four ounces of soap and a table spoonful of oil to a-pail of water, but, the clothes are very much soiled, us plenty of both. When the clothes ar thoroughly boiled, take out and wash i the studs in which they boiled, rinse, blu and hang out.-[ Aunt Melyna.

STEPEET.

In retiring from identification with this heading, desire to extend to all our friends cordial welcome to our humble Inequalities at Woodside, Shelton. And in the name of Truth, wish to disabuse the minds of those who have read con- flicting statements in these columns rela- tive to our last church meeting.
 At my urgent request, the meeting was called, Charles Botsford in the chair. MT Hawley presented a list of charges and moved that be required to answer each in order as set forth by him. As these charges embraced matters already dealt with, Bro Hull offered an amendment limiting the charges to those dated sub sequent to September 2l.
 Without trying the amendment, the moderator put to vote the question as amended and it was lost MT Hawley then called for his motion, but the chair ruled that his motion was sacrificed by the vote just taken and that there was no motion before the body.
 This ruling of course deprived me hearing on charges, as stated by your Hattertown correspondent of two weeks lago, but shamelessly denied by your lStepney asterisk of last week. who, like some others, desired to have me answer charges, but surely ought not to blame me for the moderator's ignorance of par liamentary order and erroneous ruling
 Next. motion was put to hear my state
 ment, the true purpose of the meeting. , This also was voted down. Then mo- tion to adjourn was also lost. At this
 pass, the meeting having defeated the purpose for which it assembled and still voting against adjournment, I made q
 verbal request to be heard in a statement
 which had reason to believe would sat- n isfy all and allow me to leave town with
 the church united and my standing such f as to insure clean letter at such time az L. might send for one. My request was l. put as motion and lost.
 It was then I remarked that it was
 time for me, with my wife, to withdraw from meeting and church that would ,s neither allow me to answer charges, . make confession nor receive forgiveness d in any way. On my withdrawal. M . Hawley produced another motion to ths n effect that I be suspended for thres
 months. This was carried and the meet
 ng adjourned.
