Frank Kilduf's Fast Walk From the
Center to Calvary Cemetery.
Frank Kilduff, assistant city clerk,
demonstrated the fact yesterday after
noon that he possesses all the abilities of
a pedestrian, and could give cards and
spades to the once famous Dan O'Leary.
A small group of citizens were congre-
gated on City hall steps yesterday,
among them being John p. Lawlor, the
iveryman. The question of the charge
made by hackmen to attend funeral to
the new calvary cemetery was being
discussed. Several were of the opinion
that the distance to the new cemetery
was not much farther than to St
Joseph's and scarcely called for the
charge of 81. The argument waxed
warm and finally one of the opposition
to the price remarked that he could
walk there in thirty minutes. Frank
Kilduff, who stood by, said he could do
it in that time and backed up his state
ment with $25. Liveryman Lawlor
Immediately covered the amount. At
5 o'clock the start was made from the
Western Union office. Teams with
friends of the pedestrian followed and
watches were held by several. The dis
lance Is about two and one-half miles.
The first mile was covered in nine min
utes and it was then evident that not
beaten but that twenty-six minutes, on
which several wagers were laid by some
hackmen, would also be knocked out.
In twenty-five minutes and forty five
seconds the "ped" reached the cemetery
gate and his friends gave him hearty
cheer. Janitor Loughlan of the city
hall, who was one of the bottle holders,
has become so enthused over the feat
that he offers to walk any reporter in
the city from here to Naugatuck.
Captain Comiskey says that the Phillies
are the heaviest batting team it the
league. He predicts that Harry
Wright's men will win the present
championship and then defeat Boston on
the saw off. This was after the &c to G
game Tuesday of last week and before
the Phillies played in Boston.

Dennis O'Connor, Aged IS, Victim of
Heart Disease.
Dennis O'Connor, 23 years old, who
lived with his parents on South Main
street, died suddenly this morning at
the residence of his cousin, Maurice
Mccarthy, on Meadow street. Mr.
O'Connor had been a sufferer from heart
disease and for some time was unable to
work. He left his home at seven
o'clook this morning remarking that he
never felt better. He was fixing a
clothes line for Mrs Russell, who lives
in the block over Mr. Mccarthy when he
suddenly complained of feeling ill. He
lay down on the lounge and expired in a
few minutes. DIR Axtelle was called
and pronounced it a case of death from
heart disease. Undertaken Moriarty re-
moved the remains to the young mans
home. The family recently moved here
Norfolk where the young man formerly
conducted a grocery store.

The Horse Rai|rad and the
Nottingham

Kelly says the workingmen of this city
will now have an opportunity to tell
which political party in our city govern
ment is the friend of the workingman.
The horse railroad in their desire to use
electricity as motive power, are asking
the city to. grant them concessions which
will add greatly to their already valuable
franchise. If these concessions are to be
granted to the railroad, then the people of
this city, and especially the workingmen,
should be entitled to concessions that
would be equally valuable to themselves
One important concession should be that
the workin9man should secure a reduced
fare on week days to and from work. It
lies with the common council, which is
now republican, to secure the adoption Of
this concession, and therefore the work
ingman may watch with interest the out
come.

Is the talk of the day at present, by men,

competitors and 1t is very thoughtful for

in favor of the workingmen and he hopes

usually quiet and contented.
If fed largely upon corn it is an easy
matter for ducks to become too fat, and
then they will not lay well.
WHEN possible to avoid it poultry
should not be killed when they have
full craws, especially for market.
THE most objection to pea fowls and
guineas is their noise, Otherwise they
are very nice fowls to have around.
If necessary to give sulphur DO not
feed too much at once. A teaspoonful
in a quart of food is usually sufficient.
A SMALL allowance of bone meal in
the food will be beneficial to young
fowls that are afflicted with leg weak
ness.
THE nests should always be arranged
so that the fowls can get into them
readily without being obliged to jump
down upon the eggs in the nest,
THE principal advantage in cooking
the food for poultry is that if the right
kind of a ration is supplied the fowls

The National Provisioner says that
abnormally fat hogs are becoming
drug in the market and no wonder.
Some feeders seem to think that lean
ness in hogs is undesirable, and hence
their aim is to put as many pounds Of
fat on their stock as possible. The re-
suit is that they do not reap nearly as
much profit as they would if the lean
and fat were properly intermingled
Excessive fat meat of any description
is distasteful to the average consumer,
and only those persons whose appetite
is extremely gross can eat very fat pork
with relish. On the other hand no
meat is more savory than lean pork,
and it is to be sincerely hoped tn at, in
view of the constantly increasing de-
mand farmers will cease to be deluded
by the popular notion that fairness is
everything and will endeavor in future
to produce hogs of moderate leanness
and moderate fairness

The Yelled PrOnhgt.

The parade on Tuesday will be a
magnificent spectacle, unusual trouble
and expense having been incurred in
preparing the floats and moving spec
tacles, while from the $4,000 gas
and electric lights brilliant rays of
countless shades viii add to the splen-
dor and magnifcence of the scene.
Enormous crowds will view the parade
from points of vantage along the route,
and excursion trains will be run to the
city from various locations. Specially
low rates for the carnival will be made
bv the various railroads next week, and
It will be possible to secure round-trip
tickets for one fare from nearly every
depot in this section.
Advantage should be taken of this OPP
portunity, for the attractions next
week are so numerous that fresh enjoy
ment can be found every day. The ex-
position, with its four concerts daily by
the prandest band in America; the fair,
with special attractions in the ring
every day, to say nothing of the Yelled
prophet and of the magnificent illumi-
nations of Tuesday and Thursday, will
combine to make the first week of Octo-
Der, 1892, week never to be forgotten
by residents in, or visitors to, the great
western and southwestern metropolis.

A NEW AUSTRALIAN LADY-BUG.

widens, extending forward along the
lower edges of the elytra to near the
center; here it terminates in a small
blotch. Head and thoraX are dark,
and together with the elytra are dense
~ covered with microscopic light or
ye.lowish hairs. The legs are black,
with the exception of the tarsi, which
are buff colored. The female can
readily be distinguished from the male,
in having the central black line extend,
only half way down the back: the re-
mainder of her wing covers are blood
red with the exception of two faint
spots, one slightly under the center of
each wing-cover; but in some speci-
mems this is not observable. The
female deposits eggs upon or near the
scale, so that VIII the larvae hatch
they will find their food convenient.
The eggs are laid singly or
in small patches upon their sides,
instead of being attached at the
end to the leaf or twig, as is the case
with the twice-stabbed and some other
species of lady-bugs. In five days they
hatch into small, six-legged larvae, very
much resembling the young of the
icerya, upon which they feed. In con-
fnement they pass through three
molts and the chrysalis state into per-
feet beetles within 81 days, but in the
warm orchards and sunshine this time
will probably be reduced 10 days The
larvR, when full grown, measure
about Is of an inch, and are thiclSly
covered with white powder or fine
down, but generally have the segments
well defined. When newly molted they
are brownish red or chocolate colored.
Down each side of the back are what
appear to be two black lines, but when
examined with good lens or micro
scope, double row of dots or short
lines upon each segment will be seen,
and between the segments are large
black spots, forming central row to
the other markings Upon each seq
ment, along the sides, protrude small
warts, from each OF which grow four
, fine hairs: the first two segments from
the head of each have two extra,
smaller warts, with single hair upon
each. When full grown the larvae seek
a suitable location to go through the
chrysalis stage. This is generally upon
branch or dry leaf where it attaches
itself, head downward, by gummy
matter exuded from the abdomen. In
this position it remains a few days
when the back of the chrysalis splits
longitudinally, exposing the pupa
which la;er changes into a perfect
beetle. -American Gardening

SCIENCE IN EARNING.
Some Points About the Movement of Wa
ter In soils.


The weight of water prevents it
from creeping upward over the soil
particles as quickly as it moves down
ward. M. Whitney, of the Maryland
station e.. '9D, has found that the diff
ferent substances held in solution by
the soil water may increase or dimin-
ish its surface tension, and hence vary
it's amount its thickness upon the soil
particle, and it's rate of movement in
drainage. The fineness of the particles
increases the amount of space in the
soil to be filed with air and water.
More than half the space of limestone,
shale and clay soil is filed with air and
water These are made of the finest
pulverized rock, and the infinitely
small particles lie so close together
that much of the empty space can be
filed with water as shown in the illus

SPACE IN SATURATED SOILS.

tration. Loamy and sandy soils are
more closely grained, so that the adj
hesive surface of the particles is too
small to hold enough water by capil-
larry attraction to fill the larger spaces
between. The total space is much
less, however. The most finely pulver-
lied soils weigh the least when dry, but
Will hold the most water. Thus a
heavy clay soil may really weigh light
but it is much heavier when soaked.
Fine grained soils not only hold the most
water, but its drainage through them
occupies the most time, as shown by
the number Of minutes AT the left of

FEEDING IN WINTER.
Points to BE Carefully Considered by the
Thoughtful Farmer.

Points to he Carefully Considered by thu
Thoughtful Farmer.
There are what may be termed two
general plans of feeding stock during
the winter. One is to provide feed lots,
stables or sheds with racks or hangers,
and haul up all of the feed and feed
out in them. In this way the manure
is together and can be hauled out and
scattered where it is wanted during
the winter and early spring, as the
other farm work will permit it.
The ether plan is to haul out good
portion of the feed, especially the
roughness, and scatter on the ground
in the fields, pastures or meadows. In
this way the manure is scattered SO
that no handling of it is considered
necessary The principle difference is
in the work.
To haul up the feed and then haul
out the manure, of course greatly in
creases the work. 1t is easier to feed
by scattering on the ground direct from
the wagon, and that is the end of it.
By the other plan the feed must be
hauled up and stored away, and ther
fed out as needed, while the manure
must be gathered up, hauled out anc
scattered.
But there is a considerable saving o.
feed in feeding in racks or managers il
preference to feeding on the groun(
and there is considerable saving o
the manure, besides the advantage o
applying where it is needed to better
advantage. One may be termed a say
ing way and the other wasteful, as
if carefully done, one saves feed an,
manure, while the other wastes both
but one increases labor, while the othe
saves it, and if the labor is of NOR,
value than the feed and manure tn,
second plan is the most economical
but if the saving in feed and manur,
more than overbalances the increased
labor, the first plan is the best
Generally on the farm whatever il
worth doing at all is worth doing well
Upon this basis the better plan is t.
feed out carefully and make, save ant
apply all the manure possible, as it i
only by this kind of management tina
the farm can be made to pay the hes
profit
Manure must be treated as a crop OF
the farm, and to waste it is to waste
product, and under present condition
the average farmer cannot afford to d
this. The crop must be fed out eco
nomically to the stock, in a mamie
calculated to secure the best re suits a
the lowest cost. The manure must b
saved and applied to keep up the fel
tility in order to grow profitable crops
even though the labor may be il
creased by following this plan. If tn
better plan is to be followed, now
the time to prepare the quarters fo
doing tn. j. Sheperd, in Farm, Fiel

IMPURE WATER.

The cholera at Hamburg was caused
by drinking impure water from tho
river Elbe. It shows how important
it is to keep clean. 1t is not only
necessary in the water that we drink
but in all other ways. The human
system is great machine and needs to
be constantly renovated and cleanSed.
All summer maladies and most con-
tagious diseases arise from diSordered
stomach. This can be entirely over
come by taking the Laxative Gum
Drops. These are mild and gentle
laxative, not a violent purge, but lax
alive that restores their wmted action
to the bowels. They are particularly
calculated for women and children al
though they are sufficient for the
strongest man. They cause no pain or
gripping, there is no unpleasant taste
about them, there is no liquid. They
can be carried in pockets in the paper
boxes in which they are packed like
an ordinary gum drop. Get them of
any dealer. The small boxes tOc,

FatteuiDg Hogs.

1t is just as easy to make hog weigh
heavily and produce meat that contains
fair proportion of lean as to feed the
hog so as TO secure mostly lard. In
stead of depending wholly on corn for
fattening hogs, let the diet be varied.
A hog will relish clover hay if cut fine
and scalded, or he will accept green
food of any kind. When allowed a
variety of food there will be less liza.
