l can not deny that Miss Rosalee
was generally considered very at
tractive young lady, particularly to
my friend Mr.. Poolado: but in my quiet
little way did all in my power to free
him from the fascination, even going
so far as TO chew up a love-letter he
had written her.
Now l counted on this mastication
to break up the whole affair. In all
well regulated novels l had read, an
unanswered letter was always sutfi-
cient to make the Lover fly to
Greenland's coral strand or to
India icy mountains; but my faith
in romances received fearful shock
when, after twenty-four hours of
pine, Poolado calmly inquired of the

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.
"A good garden is abs ,lutely neces-
sary to the setting of good table. and
q good table is one of the essentials of
a happy home. q
Lima beans should be fastened to
the poles with strings as soon as they
begin to run. They will then grow
more rapidly and permit of working
the hills
"A horseman of experience says
that the use of lard between the hair
and the hoof is an excellent remedy for
quarter cracks or other imperfections
in the hoof.
Successive paintings of garden
vegetables should be made so as to
have heightened supply throughout
the season. With sweet corn and peas
this is especially necessary.
Water the young celery plants
with a solution of a pound of salt
peter in twenty gall ons of water.
Thin them out if too thick, and use
only the strong and stocky plants
If one wishes to prolong the
season of sweet corn until the frosts
come. a few rows of some early varie-
ties may be planted now. They may
furnish acceptable late picking before
frost comes.
Injury from the squash borer i.
easily prevented. All the grower has
to do is to cover the vines almost tc
the tip when they have begun to run.
Thus new root growth is made from
the joints of the vines. ard the borer
may do with the main root as he
pleases.
When ornamental shrubs are out
of flower, it is we'll to cut away the
flower clusters and not allow the shrubs
to exhaust themselves in ripenine
seed, save those with ornamental fruit.
The same may be said of herbaceous
perennials. though of these seeds are
often wanted.
According to good authority the
best time for cutting grass with ma
chine is after four o'clock in the after
noon. Any single-team farmer car
cut all the grass after four o'clock
that he can handle the next day before
that hour, and all hay should go into
the barn by that time every aftern DON.
Cocoa tea is healthful and mex.
pensive. 1t is made from the shells OF
nibs, which cost three cents pei
pound. Wet two ounces with little
cold water. and pour over them
quart of boiling water; cook one and
a-half hours; strain and add a quart OF
milk heated to boiling. 1t should be
sweetened.
Where no stock is kept, and ma
nure must be made for garden, an
excellent mode of so doing is to begin
with a pile of dirt. upon which all
the waste water and refuse should be
thrown. 1t should be covered to pre-
vent injury by rain. Each family
wastes enough every season to highly
garden plat.
There is variety among farmers
as well as among apples. The slip
shod, down-at- the-mouth man who at
tributes all failures to i'll luck and bad
weather, while lounging about some
store or saloon, squirting tobacco
juice or telling vulgar yarns. deserves
all the gibes ever invented. Such men
are nauseating to thrifty neighbors.
Their fence rows furnish weed seeds
for all; their stock is a constant nui-
sance. A few such farmers are found
in every neighborhood. The true
farmer can be as much of a gentleman
as any one else.-Ohio Farmer.

Don't let a little expense deter you: you
are merely casting your bread upon the
waters. and you will soon have the sat

Finds thee richer than to-day.

Let the senseless croakers rave;

They will find oblivion's grave.

Make our pile and leave behind US
Exactly. that's just where II comes in. We
not only feather our own nest, but we

The Six Days' Racc Becoming More

 Another large crowd greeted the peds on their six days tramp last night and the interest in the race is increasing. Some changes have occurred in the posi- tions of the men since yesterday and many who were put down as quitters bid week is over. Smith, the cowboy, has been doing the best work, and it is the more remarkable because of his last race here. Curley still retains the lead, but is being closely pressed by Herty. Spicer, who was second, has fallen back to fifth place and the probabilities are that he has seen his best day in the race. Nore mac has jumped up a position and the chances are that he will be in second or third place before Saturday night. Horan has also jumped up peg and is running in good form, and is sure of a place. Herty is steadily encroaching on the leaders ground and to-day will pre- bably see him in the lead. Fox has taken tumble from fourth to seventh position and will have | to work hard to be with the five winners Saturday. Hanley had only 72 miles to his credit when he quit yesterday but he claims to be ill for the week. Poor little O'Brien, who has the sympathy of every one, IS Stlll OH tue lTdCk, put lC IS O1lly q question of time when he will quit.

TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE.

T. F. Kelly's Saloon Gutted by Fire
 Last Ni2ht-Was It the Work of an
 Incendiarys
 Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning Officer John Sullivan discovered flames issuing from the rear of the saloon of T. F. Kelly, 1S9 Bank street, and promptly sent out an alarm from box 312 at the corner of Bank and Meadow streets. The flames had gained considerable headway when the fire companies arrived and the interior was thoroughly gutted before the fire was extinguished.
 The building was a one-story wooden structure. Adjoining it was another smal Il building until recently occupied by Pho tographer William Delius. Between the l two in the rear is a space of about nine inches .and the fire, which was undoubt- edly of incendlary origin, must have been communicated at this point. The rear end of both buildings suffered the most and the walls between the two arc | burned beyond repair. The fire department did excellent ser vice, their promptness preventing the | flames from spreading to the line ot | wooden houses south of the burning
 building.
 The property is owned by John Fruin and this is the second fire by which he has suffered within three months. On the night of July IA the stable ill the rear of the buildings burned last night, and occupied by Bernard Thompson, was entirely consumed by a mysterious | fire.
 The losses upon both the building and the saloon stock and fixtures are covered by insurance.

W1ATERBURY'S OLDEST RESIDENT

James Joy Killed by Train on tho
 Naugatuck Railroad.
 The 3:59 train on the Naugatuck road struck and killed James Joy, Water Lury's oldest resident, short distance below the Burnham street crossing yes terday afternoon. The old man was slightly deaf and did not heed the warn ing whistle of Engineer Abel who was in charge of the train. Joy lived near the railroad track in one of the houses set off from Simon street by the Malle able Iron works and was walking on the track when struck by the train. His lower limbs were badly mangled, the injuries being of such a nature that re- covery at Joys advanced age was i'm possible. The unfortunate man was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs Jeremiah Delane, with whom he lived, where he died almost immediately. His left leg was crushed to jelly and both bones were broken and splintered, a bad gash was received in the back of the head, the left arm was broken in two places and the collar bone was frac- tured.
 Joy was the oldest resident of Water- bury and without much doubt the old est man in New Haven county. He was born in the town of Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland in 17S5. When the trou ble of '9S spread over Ireland Joy was a boy of 13, and although too young to take an active part in the struggle, his mind was strongly impressed with the troubled scenes of that dark period in Irelands history. Although ninety years had since elapsed and two gener- ations had passed away to his death MT Joys boyhood days were not forgotten. About thirty years ago Joy settled in Waterbury. His family consisted of nine children, several of whom are now residents of this city. His wife died a few years ago at an advanced age. One of the old mans greatest pleasures was to talk of old times at home and his fondest hope was that he would once more see his native land. His mind was clear but he was slightly deaf and suf- fered at times from rheumatism. Almost every fine Sunday he attended mass in St Patrick's church, and his slight and stopping figure was familiar to all resi- dents of the Brooklyn district.
 The funeral of the deceased was held | tbic oft

Takes Defeat Gracefully and Points
 With Pride to His Record.
 Town Clerk James c. White takes de- feat philosophically and gracefully and can be found daily at his office prepar- ing the way for his successor, whose term of office will begin January 1. MT White feels that he has done his duty without fear or favor and he need not be ashamed of his record.
 town clerk. After serving year he was defeated in 1880 by Thomas Don ahue, the democratic candidate. In 1881 Mir White was reelected and until this year was the choice of the people at each succeeding election, defeating such men as Eugene s. Wyman, Joseph B. Spen- cer, James J. Cassin. Twice he defeated James J. Madden, but gave way this year to the natural democratic majority of Waterbury and the popularity of Mir Madden.
 Since MT White has been in office it is only fair to say that the amount of work accomplished has been immense: The duties of the office are double what they were ten years ago and the facili- ties are limited. The land records alone require each year three or four volumes of TOO pages each, and taken together with the records of births. marriages, deaths, etc, all of which are neatly kept, the task of keeping the books closed up and of waiting on the hundreds of callers is no easy one. The books have all been carefully indexed, and are easy of access. With the exception of the land records and records of births, mar rlages and deaths the other valuable records of the town can be got at only after wading through a mass of books and papers piled away in small cup boards. The vault is filled to overflow ing and the time has come when the quarters must be enlarged. MT White favors making the probate office part of the town clerks office and finding new quarters for the former.
