IT is time for Congress to call halt on the lavish expenditure of money for public buildings. Thousands of dollars have been appropriated for public buildings in towns having a population of from 2,50O to A. 900. If such unimportant places, never heard of before, can tap the enormous sur plus, why cannot Waterbury, with it. worldwide reputation, get it's augur into the Treasury vaults for S150, 1000? Ina amount would put up very respectabl building as buildings go here in Water bury.

If it were possible by trickery or fraud to secure the disagreement of a jury in mur- der trial the counsel for the accused would be assured of the release of his client. It would be next to an impossibility to secure the conviction of 8 murderer who had strong social or official influence which he could bring to bear in affecting the minds of the jurors It is to be hoped that this decision will be speedily reversed.

A rEcENT decision of Judge Hand of Pennsylvania, that person indicted fol murder cannot be retried after disagree ment of the jury, is certainly one of the most remarkable decisions ever rendered by Supreme Court judge. Under Judge Hands ruling, if it should be sustained on appeal, a large number of murderers all over the country will obtain their liberty. Hence it's very grave importance.

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our Oldest child, now years of age, when
an infant 6 months old, was attacked with
a violent, malignant skin disease All
ordinary remedies failing. we called our
family physician who attempted to cure it;
butt spread with almost incredible rapid
ity, until the lower portion of the little fell
lows person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly,
painful, blotched and malicious We had
no rest at night. no peace BIZ day. Finally,
we were advised TO try the CUTICURA RENE.
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous.
In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person
as white and healthy as though he had
never been attacked. In my opinion your
valuable remedies saved his life, and to-day
he is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well,

Ten Years. Work on an Engraving.

Ten Years Work ON an Engraving.
From the London Times.
Rudolph Stang Of Dusseldorf has lately COM
pletsd, after ten years work, q copper plate
engraving Of Leonardo da Vincis great fresco.
1t is believed that this is the first time the
famous picture has been directly studied by
the engraver. Raphael Morghen's splendid
engraving was made from drawing Of a copy
Of the original painting, and all other plates
issued since its publication in 1900 have been
more or less limitations of it. The history OF
Morghen's work is instructive. The monks at
Castelazzo hearing of the fame Of the fresco
in the refectory Of the monks Of Santa Maria
dele Giraffe, at Milan, commissioned Marco
dOggiono, pupil Of Leonardo, to paint them a
copy for their refectory. But being him
self distinguished artist he could hardly
be expected to abstain from introducing some
variations of his own. A drawing Of Oggiono's
copy, which was in far better preservation than
the original, was made for MOrghen by Mattel
nj, himself an excellent artist, who was more
intent on the artistic perfection of his work
than on its fidelity to the original. Then came
the engraver, who is credited with having pro-
duced work of consummate technical excel
lence, but which cannot claim to be an exact
took himself to the spot, studied the fresco in
its present state, and made use Of all available
sketches and original sketches made by the
painter for his work, some Of which were to be
found in England. The result is what he be-
lieves to be a reproduction in copper of the
work as it came from Leonardos pencil exc
cuted as perfectly as modern art can effect The
engraving has been much praised by German
art critics.
