Some Wise Sayings.

Learn 10 say no to yourself.
Were words ideas, what an ideal
world this would be.
\ friend without discretion is more
to be feared than an enemy in armor.
Fear of sickness is the first call for
the doctor; the rest is only question
of time.
Children obtain the majority of their
knowledge of evil, and consequent de-
sire to taste it, from the talk of their
parents.
Every profession of religion that does
not make man kind to his parents,
wife and children is q mistake in the
article.
Moses may have made mistakes, but
he never went back 4000y years to attack
a dead man.
Truth is as indifferent to public opin-
ions as the general public is to truth.
Give no friendship to anyone who OBJ
jects to you thinking your own thinks
Every time you strike your own chile
you admit your incapacity to govern
yourself OF others.
The best friend is the one who give!
the best advice.
The biggest crowns in heaven are foI
those who were the most natural OF
earth.
God may have use for towards. bu'
he never yet so advertised.
Let every man be himself as God in
tended and the world will grow steadily
better.
AS love casteth out fear, so does fea
cast out love.
Every thinker and utterer of gooc
thoughts is pioneer, pushing his wa.
through the brambles TO conten,
against darkness, ignorance as super
stition.

 GFrom the New York Mail e7d Expressl
 The manager of one of the largest 1aun- ly that there were between 600 end 300 im- steam laundries that do the work of le-ge msnfactures of whit goodI and of hotels and restaurants, end the hand laundr-s5 doing household work. Several steam laundries employ f.om 100 to 15o hau6s. One pa1sic. ularly large one doing the work of 15 hots'- and restaurants, turn ort 40, ,0C9 pieces day or more than 1,0O0, 900 a month, weshe I, dried and finished. Those pieces include sheets, pillow cs5e3, white towels, brow curtains, jackets, aprors, counter panes, blan- kets, bed cove-5, pillow cove1J, chair covers, table eove-s, cramb cloths ana doylies.e In the performance of this work there are used $4000 worth of soap, $1o30 worsh of starch, $25o worth of bluing year, end the pay roll amount to $25 ,o90 yearly.
 Still another laundry manager said that the amount of private washing done in the public laupdries hfs increased immensely since the establishment of the first large public lsundly. Most of the largest laun- dries borrow the names of the more prom inent hotels. The work they do is mainly for persons liy ing in flats, boarders, bache- lors and transient hotels guess. Notwith- standing the 6-eat facilities offered by the public laundries most housekeepers prefer to nave their washing done at home. Public laundries that do piivato washing do not use steam CT any machinery, except the simple Latent ringer and washboard, because no machinery, ever invented could do the nec- essary huting, pufing, scalloping and doing up. The charges range from 75 cents to $9 a dozen.
 The laundry business requires veIy little capital; the work is simple and the terms are invariably cash. No class of buiness men lose so little money from bad debts as do the laundry men, and the reeson iu plain; they always have ample security for their bills in the clothing they wesh, and clothing is never returned until the bill is paid. It is esti- mated thas from three to five millions of dol- lars is invested in lanndTies in New York, giving employment to from 30, 900 to 40, 0,000 persons.

 Tickets-Frank Carroll, Michael Sheehan, William Marlow, Owen McMahon, William Benton and c. Conroy.

 Discussfnx the License Laws. The annual meeting of the commissioners of the several counties in the State was held in the annex of the Court of Common Pleas in the new court house in this city yesterday. The following commissioners were in at- tsndance:

 Hartford county Spencer, Woodhouse and Nor
 MiddIesex county Griswold, Wright and Hub bard.
 New London county-Ayer, saxton and Hurl- burt.
 Minsssn .,as0S oounty5stantSn. Kelley and Morss.
 Litchfield and Holland counties were unrepre- sented.
 Commissioner T. H. Spencer was chairman and Commissioner E. G. Woodhouse the sec- retary, both of Hartford county.
 The subject of general discussion was the license law. Commissioner Jacobs doubted the advantages arising from the graded li- cense system. He claimed that the law yves poor one. New Haven hes a saloon to every two hundred persons. The Windhann county board according to MT. Stanton seeks to keep the number doIl % one for five hundred people.
 MT. Kelly, of Windham, judged that New Haven WIS well supplied with liquor saloons, but he liked the place just the same. Hs went in for q raising of the license fee, which shorld Do $500.
 Mr. Sexton, of New London, thought that there should be no option with the judge whether he should Ex the fine for violation at 8 or $50. He wor1d have the fine fixed at $25. Mir. Sexton exprersed the Wssh that rum drinking was confined to the prohibi- t:oDists.
 The question of the pol jon of the revenue from licenses which should revert to the county wfs, briefly discresed. It wcs be- lievo5 that the present per cent. wfs tco small and that 10 per cent. shoPld be thus appropriated.
 Commissioner Jacobs did not believe that the commissioners. could refuse license the licenses to the number of inhabitf 1ts had been reached. A nandamrs world compel the granting of the license.
 MT. Hubbard of Middlesex county express ed desire to see such a1 issue tried. Ac- eordipg to MT. Stenton when they had issued 6 certein number of Icerses n Windham they said stop and it stopped.
 To the question as to what constituted an unsuitable rerson Mr. Dnnham said the con- nissionels must be the judges.
 The commissioner f-om this county enter- tained at TraeRers, at noon, all the visitors but those from Hartford and Fairfield coun- ties, who were the guests of MT. Martin, the contractor at the jail. All the commissioners visited the jail in the afternoon.
