The Rural New Yorker says Gov Boies of Iowa, who is 54 years old, has now thousands of acres of land in Iowa and is one of the largest practical farmers of the country. He makes his farms bring him in an income and he owns one in Grundy county, Iowa, about 30 miles from where he lives, which contains 264O acres and every acre of it is in high state Of cultivation. He has a herd of 800 cat tie upon it and half of the farm is devot- ed to stock raising. He knows every de- tail in the management and he spends a portion of every year upon it, often go- ing out into the fields and taking place with his men in the work. He has an- other big farm in Palo Alto county. which contains thousand acres of graz ing land and upon this he keeps lot of fine stock. His men drive his herds to the grazing lands in the Spring, and in the Fall they are brought back for feed ing.

Peoples ideas of economy are often very instructive, sometimes quite anus ing and frequently conflicting. Dobbins can't afford newspaper, but keeps a big dog. Jaques thinks both papers and dogs waste, but spends $25 per year for tobacco; and Toodles consdery ev- erything thrown away except what is spent for whiskey. Some folks have on- ly one idea of economy, that of saving. But there is economy in using. as we'll. Indeed, true economy is simply in get ting the most and best use possible out of anything. To save what you need to use is not economy. but waste.
 The time is coming when society will find temperance a necessity. Drunken ness, or excess of any kind, is so expen- sive that the world cannot afford it. As the human family fills and possesses the earth, every handful of food, every hour of labor becomes precious. The energies of mans brain and the skill of his hands and the productiveness of every hours labor are more and more matters of ac- count to the man himself, to his employ CT and to his dependent family; and, in deed, to society at large. The farm, the factory and the shop are all wound up to produce certain results, which must be produced, if they are to be operated. Every stroke of the hammer employs capital, spends time and power and must be made to produce what will pay fair per cent on the money involved. The la borer is the most important factor in business. But then, if the laborer be drunk and unreliable, he cannot do good work, there is loss of time and loss of op- portunity to the employer, everything is depreciated. The time must come when the man who drinks need not apply for the situation. Sober men must be had. -T Rev o. o. Wright.

STEVENSON.

We nevar had thought of our cores pondent acknowledging a knock down over so short piece as we wrote, two weeks ago, about feeding his brain on fish and that it would cause him to go after quotations in New Haven and New York. We are not surprised, when he puts lard on his bread for butter, that he recommends whale. However. we will wager a cent that he will be after smaller fish Gas soou as the law will al- low) with his rod and line, angling for fish the size of his little finger. He does not need any knock down, by the way he crawls out of the brook. Still, the brain must be fed.

The territory afflicted by the Russian famine comprises 13 provinces of Euro pean Russia-Kazan, Mi Novgorod, Orenburg, Oufa, Penza, Riazan, Samara, Saratof, Simbitsk, Tamboff, Viatka and Vorenege. In five other provinces the famine prevails in part-Kursk, Olonetz, Orel. Perm and Tauride. One or two oth- CTS, like Kharkov, have suffered to some extent. The first 13 provinces have an area one third greater than all Germany and the population is about P ,0O0, ,O0O. The destitution is not universal, howev- CT; there are those whose accumulations have saved them from want and some spots preserved from blight by irrigat- ion, where a good harvest was reaped, but, at best. the proportion of suffering is enormous. An official estimate of the number of those without food or means of support who require aid is given as 14,0O0, ,000 persons and this is probably below the true number.

D. B. Hill.

The current prominence of David B. Hill lends additional interest to the ar ticle in the February Review of Reviews, in which his character is set forth at its best by Prof Charles A. Collin of Cornell and at it's worst by an anonymous politi- cal opponent.
 Both unite on only one point,-the pur- ity of his personal habits. Says his op- ponent: ''Mr Hill is a man of regular habits and frugal tastes. He does not smoke or chew tobacco. He does not use wine or strong drink. He is bach elor and more than a bachelor; he is a woman hater.'
 But, politically, he is the ideal states man to Prof Collin and the corrupt in- triguer to his opponent. Says Prof Col. lin: "Gov Hill is honest by instinct, prin- ciple and practice and will not knowingly allow dishonesty in any department of the government within his jurisdiction and control. He is master of every situ- ation in which he is placed and will al- low no interest to control him. He has shown himself faithful to every trust re- posed in him and capable of administer ing it. With his honesty, fidelity and ca- pacity, his courage Bnd ambition render him more efficient, rather than a more dangerous, public servant" How differ ent the estimate of his opponent: s.Faust was not more sold, body and spirit, to Mephistopheles than David B. Hill is possessed soul and body mind and heart by the devil of his own ambition "Dur- ing his seyen-years' occupancy of the governors chair, Mir Hill created no pol icy, advanced no reforms, but did stead fly grow in grace of the liquor interests, of Tammany Hall and in the possession of all the powers incident to patronage s'Mr Hill stands in American public life as the type of the successful politician, in the lowest meaning of the words In fact, he is the apotheosis of the ward heeler,"

There's a good deal of guarantee business in the store keeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time 1t means noth- ing. Words uLy a00ras.
 This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, is made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course.
 So, whoever is honest in making it, and works-not on his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer whom you know, must have some thing he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand year with out 1t.
 What is lacking is conf dence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the average practice"
 Dr. Pierce's medicines are gaarauteea to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn't ap- parent.
 Doesn't 1t strike you that a medicine which the makers have so much confidence in, is the medicine for youl

Been too busy selling and shipping goods and wrestling with the Grippe, the last few weeks, to change our ad. before. If you have never visited the new furniture warerooms at Hawley- ville,you had better do so at once. New designs are being added all the time and the stock is now very complete in all lines. All fresh and new; no back numbers; no stale jokes under new headings. have just been reading the advertising columns in 8 number of metropolitan journals. All, or nearly all, start off in the same old familiar strain: Selling off at half price, or much less than cost" Thousands and hundreds ofthousands of dollars worth offered at soc c.i 5he dollar.
 Now this is radically wrong; its not business like. It's either falsehood, or there is a screw loose somewhere. Ifjudieious purchase and tas- ty selections have been made, what is the need of selling less than cost. Its downright sacrifice, that has got to be made up somewhere. Good furniture in pretty apatterns is being made no cheaper to-day than it was six months ago. The natural inference is that the party who so adver-
 
 a lot of uncanny, uncouth designs that you and I do not want in our houses at any price.
 want to say right here that the Hawleyville stock is not of this kind and it is being sold right along, one month with another, at hv- ing commission, but those who thoroughly un- derstand the situation at Hawleyvile know that living commission at Hawleyville means rapid starvation and pauper funeral, in most other places and in all others that can show a stock that will compare favorably with Haw1eyville. If goods are sold six months in the year at loss of soc on the dollar, what kind eff commission must we expect during the remaining six months Sales since opening the furniture business at Hawleyville have far exceeded my most sanguine expectations. We are having patronage from afar and shipping goods to all points of the com pass. The fact is proven beyond doubt that Hawleyville, as distributing point and point easy of access, stands without rival in western Connecticut, if not in the State. The Reading Room is we'll patronized and thoroughly appre- ciated by the travelling public, who need, howev- CT, feel under no obligation for, as silent ad- vsrtising medium, it we'll repays us for the little trouble it makes. Give call while waiting for trains, but don't make excuses for not buying. If you need nothing yourself, you are doing us a favor every time you look through the stock, for you will tell your friends all about it and they will some of them come and buy.

AS Wendell Phillips once said, "We can't be as good as our fathers unless we are better than they were" That is, they used all their opportunities and were as large as their circumsta uces allowed; we also must use our more ample oppor- tunities, and must, therefore, be larger than our fathers ever dreamed of being.

The kidnapping of Ward F. Waterbury, of Long Ridge, happily turned out only a temporary scare, but it shows the pos abilities of stealing school children and it is to be hoped that Charles E. Water bury, John McCann and Sam Sutherland, arrested for the crime, may be severely punished. Connecticut is hardly ready for Italian brigands yet!

The Grange, or the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is particularly strong in Connecticut, with the exception of Fair field county, which possesses only three granges. We may expect, however, an increase in the near future, as several towns are showing quite an interest in the farmers organization. State Master Bowen has appointed J. H. Blakeman of Oronoque, master of the Stratford Grange, as his deputy for Fairfield coun- ty, and all who know him will appreciate his fitness to present it's claims to the public and also the fact that he will not be content to hold jurisdiction over so small a number, but will seek to develop it's strength. Mir Blakeman is not only a good citizen, but a good farmer, busi- ness man and what is known as planner of details, which is the essential element of success. In appointing such man, the State master has shown rare good judgment.

A Brilliant Sight.
Due to the Par-imony Of Congress-.

Apvy Department officials feel very bitter
over the damage to the Cincinnati's machinery
in the fire at the New York navy yard today.
They say il is directly due to fhe parsimony of
Congress. An appropriation was asked for the
building Of a brick machine shop. but Congress
put them OF with a frame shop in which TO set
up the Cincinnati's machinery.
III another set of machinery il required by
the damage TO the present one IL will cost
100000 more than brick shop would have
cost
Officials fare also grumbling because the
marines were taken away from the New York
yard TO guard Sandy Hook. Ii was claimed Mt
the time that this duty devolved upon the army.
and il is said that the presence Of the marines
at the yard might have averted damage.
