Tao Uso of FIovcrx

Flowers are used much more sensibly
than they used to be. The absurd fash
ion of loading yonng woman down
with dozen or more huge bouquets,
every one measuring from fifteen to
twenty inches across, is no longer in
vogue. The atrocious custom died of
its own appropriateness
It is possible even with the most deli
cate blossoms, which are the essence of
grace and refinement, to be positively
vulgar. The large corsage bouquets
which were so popular for two or three
years seem to have vanished, not to re-
appear, from the very fact of their over
size and overuse. This is true as well of
the bunch of flowers for the street dress
as for the ball toilet. Flowers are not SO
worn because of their wide and exag-
gerated use when they got out of the
hands of women of taste and refine
ment into those of the sort who bleach
their hair and daub their faces. The
fashionables now permit themselves only
a bunch of violets in the spring, when a
craving for flowers cannot be stified.
More coloring is used in funeral flow
ers than ever before. Set pieces are nc
longer used. Loose flowers furnished by
members of the family are the only ones
considered appropriate. This is sensi-
BILE departure. Why should the stiff
waxen camellias and the tuberose be al
ways used? To some sensitive minds
these flowers are so associated with death
that, seen at any time, they only recall
a scene of mourning Flowers at fu.
neral are intended to console the living
with their loving touch and gracious
softening of the grim outlines. There is
more tenderness in the droop of one La
France rose than in forty stiff, inodorous
japonicas. York Ledger.

crowds visited the grounds led there by idle Gu

got into row with some Ellsworth men. with
the result that an Ellsworth man was knocked
down and received a black eye. The next day
the offending circus man was arrested and

was the exciting cause OF the more serious diff
ticulty later In the day. Things were Compar-
atiNely quiet during the afternoon and the com

THE THOMSON-HOUSToN SYSTEM
ADOPTED.

The village trustees, at meeting fol-
lowing the public meeting on Wednes-
day evening, appointed a committee to
draw up contract with Mr.. Wells for
lighting the village by y arc electric
lights at cost of Sl300.
Three bids were submitted to the trus-
tees on Tuesday evening, the time APP
pointed for opening them. \. p. Tup-
per, Esq, offered to put in 20 arc lights
for Sll00 a year for five years, provided
he could have the exclusive privilege of
running arc and incandescent lights in
the village; w. b. Thrall of Rutland, as
agent for the Western Electric Co. of
Chicago, offered 26 lights for S12OO, and
Thos. +. Wells of Sandy Hill, n. Y, for
the Middlebury Electric Co., offered -
lights for $1,000. After some discussion
it was decided by the board that, mas
much as representatives of the companies
and citizens seemed to be anxious for
hearing, it would be well to give them
a chance to speak. Accordingly a pub
lie meeting was called at the room in the
basement of the town hall on Wednesday
evening. 1t was well attended. c. VI.
Wilds, Esq, chairman of the board, stat
ed the object of the meeting and the sub
stance of the bids. Mr.. Upper advocated
the adoption of the Western Co.'S bid.
Judge Slade expressed himself as favor
ing the best light for the least money.
