fakirs opened up their satchels and
endeavored to ''sL;n few of Bedford
couaty's greenies." They talked
louS and long, and finally drew
around large crowd of curiosity
seekers who wanted to be relieved of
their money. They were open for,
business only a short time when the
police ordered themto pack up their
traps and leave. From what we can
learn there must haze been some
person badly ''taken IL, for when
the fakirs got into the Broad Top
cars en- rQate for Huntington, an
officer of the law Appeared with a
warrant for their arrest, They re-
fused TO go with the Officer and as
result razors, revolvers, etc, were
drawn from the pockets Of the fakirs
and their friends. The passengers
were almost wild with excitement
and gard rush was made fer the
baggage car. No serious damage
was done, but number of women
who were on the train say they never
had such scare. The fakirs we al
lowed to go their way rejoicing.

An Automatic Teapot.

Something of the picturesqueness of the sight of a graceful and comely hostess serving her guests with the cup of tea so much beloved by the lady of fashion is in danger of being destroyed by new device which halls from En- gland. This innovation is an automa atic teapot. The apparatus scarcely differs in appearance from an ordinary teapot save in the form of the spout, which starts from the lower part of the pot and is curved above in order that the jet that issues from it shall be nearly vertical. The cover o' the teapot con sists of a hollow cylin,. CT forming pis- ton and provided at the top with a wooden or ivory knot containing an aperture five or six nm. in diameter. In order to get cup of tea the cup is placed under the nozzle and the cover of the pot is first raised and then thrust back into place and the liquid flows freely. The flow is at once stopped by the lifting of the finger that closes the aperture in the knob, as this removes the pressure exerted by the air upon the EQuid. .-Chicago News

Ladies Without an Object.

Ladies often give as reason why they do not take exercise: "Oh, I don't like to go out without an ob- ject." They seem to be unaware of the fact that to well-organized frame motion and fresh air are positive daily necessities, irrespective of any lob ject," save the cool play of the wind on the temples and the healthful glow which follows a brisk walk. Medicine is a joke to it. No doctor, be his di- ploma ever so pretentious, could effect with simple means a more magical re- suit. When it is considered what Ca beautifer" exercise in the open air is, we marvel that the female portion of the community are so prone to neglect it. A little chilliness in the air, a lit tie sprinkling of rain, high wind, an inability to display fine dress-what inadequate reasons for staying in the house and growing sallow, irritable and sick!-N.

A DIFFERENCE IN COLOR.

The Trouble Caused by a Transferred
 Order. A travelling man at one of the hotels had devoured the big end of supper, when he called waiter and addressed him in this way:
 Bring me an order of wheat cakes well done, not burned, brown, about the color of your countenance.' Bout de color O my what?" Your face"
 ooh, you wants 'em seal brown" That's it."
 'They'll be here instantly, boss" The darky hurried away toward the kitchen. Tn the course of ten minutes another waiter set plate of pale-look- ing cakes before the man.
 Do you call those cakes well done ?'' No, sah. I didn't take your order Another waiter turned it over to me-" ''Well, send him here.''
 The man with a seal-brown face ap- peared.
 Didn't I order my cakes as brown as your face ?"
 ''Yes, you did, sah; but the head waiter made me give your order to a yellow nigger; so he brung you cakes the color of his face. That's no mis take O mine. e."-Kansas City Star.

For the right,that lacks assistance.
 Gainst the wrong that needs resistance,
 For the future in e-distance,.
 And the good that we can do.
 Four years ago to-day these words, penned by noble soul who at the twi- light oe an honorable and eventful life could not tear himself away from the journalistic profession, ushered in the birth of the EVENING DEMOCRAT. There was no self-adulation; no vain-glorious boasting. The DEMOCRATS salutatory was simple definition of it principles and promise to do what it believed to be right.
 It has hewed close to the line, regard less of consequence. Perhaps at times it has erred; who has not? The aim of wholesome family paper, containing all the news, without wicked sensational ism. The effort has been crowned with success. As a newspaper, in the true
 
 sense of the word, the DEMOCRAT stands in the front rank. In. the local field especially it excels, almost daily pub fishing exclusive items of city news. As an advertising medium it has no equal in Waterbury. It reaches the buying classes, is progressive, az gressive, enterprising and quick to see a point. In word, it is the peoples paper.
 In politics the DEMOCRAT has always been faithful to the great principles laid down by the fathers of the democratic party. The handsome majority which It helped to raise for Grover. Cleveland in 1885, and which saved Connecticut to the democrats, is it's monument. In To- cal political affairs the DEMOCRAT has on several occasions found it necessary to rebuke men in whose hands the partys welfare has rested. For doing this perhaps we have made few ene- mics. And yet their enmity has helped to make the DEMOCRAT a success, para doxical as it may seem. For every enemy represents principle upheld at the cost of someone's friendship, and strict adherence to principle, and fear less denunciatIon of wrong, have given the DEMOCRAT a prestige enjoyed by few newsp; pers of such tender age.
 In presenting ourselves to the con tinued patronage and good will of the people of Waterbury and vicinity we do it with the determination of making the DEMOCRAT the leading paper of the valley.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Gladstone pays but little attention to doctors, and in some respects is very reckless of his health. He is frequent ly seen out of doors without an over coat at times when the wind seems cold and raw to younger man. But he rarely takes cold.
 Some criticism has been made of the prince of Wales for shooting in kid gloves, and calling him a butterfly sportsman. The English press are in- dignant at this accusation and say he is by far the finest shot in the royal fam fly, and can hold his own in any coun- try.
 James Parton, in little talk about Charles Kingsley at the time the latter author visited America in 1879, declared that the perusal of Alton Docke," up . in a New York garret, gave him more pain than any experience he had ever had before or since, so narrowing was the delineation of suffering and degra- datiOn.
 Prince Henri D' Orleans is nice looking young man of agreeable man. ners, who is often seen in the Parisian world, chiefly in the houses of members of the monarchic party. If he has any marked characteristic it is his extreme ly English appearance, which is accent uated by his almost exaggerated style of English dress.
 -Osman Pasha, the1hero of Plevna, has been located as sealer in the kitchen of the sultan of Turkey. His peculiar business is to seal all the dishes for the sultans table as soon as they are prepared, and thus secure against poison they are carried into the royal dining-room, and the seals broken only in the sultan's presence.
 Robert Harrison, who has been librarian of the London library for more than thirty-four years has had re- markable opportunity to meet and know personally many of Great Britain $ greatest men and women. Among his acquaintances have been Thackeray, Lord Lytton, Charles Reade, George Eliot, Carlyle and Gladstone.
 Frank B. Sanborn, the philosopher, is a man whose name is not often heard by the world these days. Yet in Emer- sons time he was the brightest and best beloved of the coterie of scholars and poets who gathered about the Con- cord sage. Sanborn still lives in Con- cord and is identified with the modern school of philosophy there. He is a tall, slender man, and when he appears in Boston is conspicious for a broad brimmed, soft white hat and big red flowing cravat.
 Miss Virginia Fair, the young Cali fornia heiress. will hereafter make her home in New York. She is a charming young girl in her early teens. She is refreshingly natural, as bright as the proverbial dollar, and wonderfully worldly-wise for her age. She is a tall, slender girl, with thick, curling hair of russet brown, very decidedly tinged with auburn, and with great gray eyes. When the fair Virginia Fair attains her majority she will be one of the richest young women in America. Her educa. tion, which has hitherto been conduct ed in a convent, will continue under private tutors

Oddities of East Indian life

The recently-publishe letters of the late archbishop of Bombay give some interesting glimpses of life in India
 After breakfast" he says in one of them, II had to listen to an address and then to series of complaints against the parish priest, who was present and defended himself vigor- ously. A curious case of conscience came before me. The pagans had con- secrated a cock to one of their gods. The bird is taken to the shrine, of fered to the god, and then set free. Can Christian kill the cock and eat what has been offered to idols? The common Christians dare not touch such a bird for the world. I fear the priest shot it and made one or two good meals of it." Of the same sort is the follow ing: Not long since devout Hindoo gave live bull to one of his gods, and turned the animal loose. A less wor- shipful mortal collared the bull and yol6ed him in his cart. Thereupon fol lowed a lawsuit; the devout man claimed the bull, but the judge decided that the bull was not his-he had given it to his god-and he implied that the deity had not looked after his proper ty."-Chicago Times.

THE sPEAKERsHIP CONTEST.

The very spirited contest for the speakership of the house of representa- tives will close with the selection of one of the candidates by the democratic caucus, which will be held to-day, but it will be years before it is forgotten. There have been many things to cause 1t to be remembered, not the least of which is the large number of candidates that will remain in the field up to the last-this is of itself highly creditable to the democratic party as an organiza- tion, as it shows that it is a party that does not tolerate F'bossism," but gives every man Tn it's ranks an equal right to aspire to any honor within it's gift. Another thing about it that will not soon be forgotten is the action of the republicans, in trying by misrepresent- ing innocent remarks made by demo- crats, and in many instances by the out right manufacture of statements, to create feeling of antagonism between the friends of the several candidates: they succeeded but too well, in some instances.
 Whoever is selected for speaker, the attempt will be made in certain quarters to make it appear that the selection makes certain the nomination for president next year of some one of the gentlemen who have been promi- nently named for that honor. That is another republican scheme. There is not the slightest thing to base such a conclusion upon, no matter which of the candidates for speaker may win. There are men in the ranks of the supporters of each of the candidates who fa1 or Mir Cleveland, Governor Hill, Governor Gray, Senator German and Governor Boies, so it is nonsense to say that the success of any one of the candidates for speaker will have any direct effect upon the nomina- tion for president next year.
 Just as members of congress have differed in their opinions of the best man for speaker, so will they differ when it comes to selecting a candidate for president. The national democratic convention, and not the house of repre- sentatives, will name the presidential nominee of the party, republican busy bodies to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Kitchen.

We masculines have yet to learn that the kitchen is the most important end Of the household If that go wrong the whole establishment is wrong. It de- cides the health of the household, and health settles almost everything. Heavy bread, too great frequency of plum pudding, mingling of lemonade and custards, unmasticable beef, have de- cided the fate of sermons, legislative bills and the destiny of empires. The kitchen knife has often cut off the brightest prospects. The kitchen grid iron has often consumed a commercial enterprise. The kitchen kettle has kept many a good man in hot water. It will never be fully known how much the history of the world was affected by good or bad cookery.-Talmage

THE SAVING HABIT.
Family Thrift Depends Upon HousehoI,
 

Family Thrift Depends Upon Household
 Economy.
 There is an old saying that woman can throw out with a spoon faster than a man can throw in with a shovel. Without reference to the apparent in- justice of the comparison between the two sexes, we are compeled to admit, if our male friend was right, that wom- en are great wasters, and that their ef- fective weapon may not inaptly be called a spoon. The thriftiness of a family does depend just as much upon the economy of the housemother as upon the industry of the wage earner. So we say despise not small economies, but acquire and practic e habits of small saving. Of course by small economies we don't recommend you to use dollars worth of time in order to save fifty cents worth of ma terial. Clothes may be patched and mended to that extent that it were act ual saving of money to buy new ma, terials rather than put on so much new cloth on old garments. But even though there are small economies which really are economies, there is not the least excuse for anyone to condemn the small saving habits. No woman ought to allow the slightest particle of good nourishing food to be wasted. Such is not only wasteful, but whilst there are so many in need, it is positive sin, for which an account will have to be rendered. It is just as easy to cook meat which has been cooked be- fore as it is to cook fresh meat. Every particle of fat should be carefully fried out. Even bread crumbs saved from each days cutting of bread. after be- ing dried, rolled and sifted, can reap pear on the table in other and attract i've forms. Stale bread can be saved and prove very useful. Bits of twine, wrapping paper, etc, are always use full if you have proper place to keep them, where they can be easily found.
 Habits of small saving inculcate a spirit of thrift which goes far toward making young people into useful mem bers of society. But whatever you do, do not fall into the opposite mistake, and become so thrifty that, as we have known housewives to do, you use eggs, milk and the other materials which would make valuable custard, in order to save the bread crumbs from be- ing wasted.
 DuG SOnlc WILL Say WHO redu CnlS article: "rhere is no need for me, at least, to do any saving. I have more things than I know how to use.' So long as there is a poor family in the world, just so long have you need to save, even if there are no children in your house to whom you must be a guide and an example. Just so long as man can reproach us as house. keepers with wasting whilst others want must we look carefully to what we do or do not. These are low mo- tives, you say. Of course they are, judged from some standpoints; but it seems almost useless to appeal to higher ones where household matters are con- cerned. It's a mistake, but a fact nev- ertheless, and in SO far as we wish to impress the fact that the habit of small savings is worthy habit, we appeal to those motives which are most potent A Housekeeper, in Christian at Work.
