WILLIMANTIo officials evidently mean to give no license fair trial. They have chosen for town agent man who it is believed will carry out the spirit and in- tent of the law. The law and order league have recommended for prosecuting agent Curtiss L. Dean ,and it is understood that the commissioners will appoint him. Mir. Dean is believed to be the right man for the place. He is a promising young attorney, who has recently located in the borough, and Is son of Dr. H. s. Dean of Coventry, The best people of the bor- ough desire his appointment, and if they will, further than this, back him in his work when appointed he will be able to meet their expectations. The best man in the world will effect very little as a prosecuting agent with public disposed to carp out and criticise rather than to assist in what is not alone his work, but that of the entire law-abiding portion of the community.

EARTHQUAKE IN SAN SALVADOR.

New IOKK, Sept. l0.-A special
cable dispatch to the Herald from San
Salvador says: Millions of dollars worth
OF property and many lives were dcs-
troycd in this republic bv an cnrlhuuake
yesterday. Whole towns were wipcd

There have been indications for sew

gan to shake. The wave had a strong
vertical and oscillat0ry movement
People rushed into the streets in thcr.
night clothes, and while the shock lasted
only twenty seconds, before it had
passed away, there was panic-stricken
mop making lis way to the open country
outside the city.
Ihc scene was terribly sublime. Men,
women and children were weeping,
shricking and praying in the streets;
walls OF houses cracked. tottered and
ieli; there was deep. continuous rumb-
mig, OF heavy thunder; the sky was
overcast and the air was filled with n
me, penetrating dust. While it lasted,
The earth rose and fell in long waves.
ana strong men were unable to keep
| thclr lcct. The panic. stricken people
| ilockcd to the open ground outside the
| clty; temporary shelters were thrown up
wherever possible, but nearly all the T., en-
and many OF the women and children
had.only the sky for cover.
All through the morning there have
cen slight shocks, but none approach-
ing the intensity of that which had been
SO destructive. The inhabitants are
afraid to return to their houses, and arc
making themselves as comfortable as
possible in their temporary camps.
President Eta is doing everything he
can to stop the panic, and to make il rs
comfortable as possible for them until
II Is considered safe fer them to 90 back
to their homes.
The towns throughout the country
nave suffered more severely than the
capital, even. Analquitc has been COM
plcteiy destroyed. Cojutcpcuue, Zrnta
Iccla, san Pedro and Masahuct were so
badly shaken that they are practically
rnlned, while the shock was plainly iclt
and damage was done by it at Santa
Anna and Susimtcpcquc, fully sixty
miles from here.
1t Is impossible, at this writing, to
form ANY idea as to the number OF lives
which have been lost. No people were
Killed here, though :hcrc were MANY
miraculous escapes from death. 1t is
feared. however, that there have been
many people killed in the smaller towns.
The loss of property will run we'll into
the millions.
lT Is reported that when Blaine was
urged to invite the President to visit
Bar llarbor, he said that he would do
1T but for one thing. Asked what that
one thing was. he answered: 'I'm

The Virtues of Borax.

The excellent washerwomen in
Holland and Belgium, who "get up"
their linen so beautifully white, use
refined boraX as washing powder
instead of soda, in the proportion of
one large handful of powder to about
ten gallons of boiling water. They
save in soap nearly one-half. All the
large establishments adopt the same
mode. For laces, cambrics, etc., an
extra quantity of the powder is used;
for crinolines, requiring to be made
stiff, a strong solution is necessary.
Borax, being neutral salt, does not
in the slightest degree injure the tex
ture of the linen. Its effect is to sOf-
ten the hardest water, and therefore,
it should be kept on every toilet
table. To the taste it is rather sweet;
it is used for cleaning the hair, and is
an excellent dentrifce, and in hot
countries is used in combination
with tartaric acid and bicarbonate OF
soda as a cooling beverage.

How to Make Life Happy.

Take time; it is no use to fume or
fret, or do as the angry housekeeper
who has got hold of the wrong key,
and pushes, shakes and rattles 1t
about the lock until both are broken
and the door remains unopened.
The chief secret OF comfort lies in
not suffering trifles to veX us, and in
cultivating our underground Of small
pleasures.
Try to regard present veXations as
you will a month hence.
Since we cannot get what we like,
let us like what we can get.
1t is not riches, it is not poverty,
1t is human nature that is the trouble.
The world is like a looking-glass
Laugh at it and it laughs back; frown
at it and it frOwnS back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind
and dispose it to the worst temper in
the world,-that of a fixed malice
and revenge. 1t is while in this
temper that most men become crimi-
nails.

A Revelation.

Northwestern Farmer and Breeder.
A dairyman who concluded that he
would find out just how profitable
each one of his cows was, weighed
the milk separately for four months,
and found that his income ranged
from 1916 per month to 1898 per
month for individual COWS, the milk
being sold at $l.09 per hundred
pounds. This enabled him to "weed
out" to some advantage. This only
demonstrates the condition of nearly
every dairy herd. There are always
some poor cows, and most always
some very good ones: but just how
poor or how good in dollars and
cents, is what few dairymaa can tell.
The only way to find out is by
weighing and testing the milk from
each COW. Then if you know what
the food costs per cow, and will COM
pare this with the returns made, you
are in fair way to become a success
ful farmer.

They Were Corn Fed.

A Confederate soldier of General
Bragg's army has this to say of the
state of semi-starvation in which he
and his comrades were much of the

"While we were at Chattanooga
my father paid me visit. Rations
were mighty scarce. l was very
glad to see him, but was ashamed to
have him know how badly off we
were for something to eat We were
living on parched corn"
"Finally l hit upon a plan for get
ting him good dinner. ] invited
him to go with me to the ColonePs
tent.
Colonel Field, said 1, Il wish to
introduce you to my father, and, as
rations are a little short in the mess
just now, perhaps you will be good
enough to invite him to dine with
YOU
"'Certainly,' answered Colonel
Field; i shall be happy to have both
of you remain to dinner
81 accepted the invitation with
many thanks, and just then young
negro came in with frying pan OF
parched corn and dumped it on an
old cloth.
an Master said he, dinner is
ready;' and we all sat down. The
Colonel, like the private soldiers,
had nothing to eat but parched
corn"

JENNIE NJ. WILSON.

Grandpa told me all about it,
Surely, then, should not doubt it,
How he courted dear old grandma
Long ago,
Says her charms did surely take him,
And 9,willing captive make him;
Yet, when he told her this, he knows
She blushed like any crimson rose,
Long ago
He says her hair was bright and sunny
Rosy cheeks, too-oh how funny
Grandma once pretty grly,
Long ago.
Now, gray hairs peep from meath her cap
And every day she takes a nap;
Yet dear old grandma can't forget
When she was once his pride and pet,
Long ago.
And he often thinks about it,
SO he says-and can doubt it,
How he loved this gentle maiden
Long ago?
Though silver hair now crowns her head,
And wrdkes DER the fair face spread,
He says she's dearer to him now
Than when they pledged that solemn vow
|. NJ ago
Lovingly they've walked 10 ether,
Through bright as well as stormy weather;
Keeping VOWS they each had made
Long ago.
But their rest i, near at hand
Soon they'll reach hetter land;
Reach a mansion bright and fair,
Which th.r father did prepare
Long ago.
