\ Question of Dinner Time.

A cardinal who commanded the troops of Pope Boniface X. in the march of Acona, finding himself on one occa- sion in position in which he must con- quer or die, promised his soldiers that, if they secured the victory, those who fell should dine that very day with the angels. They marched to the combat with alacrity; but finding that the car. dinal was careful not to expose himself, "How sit" said one of them, "that you show no anxiety for the celestial banquet to which you have invited us SC warmly" "Because it is not yet lay dinner time, and am not hungry."- All the Year Round.

AsAFETIDA as a cure for grip has been ridiculed by a great many physi- clans, but most of them admit that they have never prescribed it. In the west asafoetida in pills of four grains have been tried with gratifying results. Quick recoveries are reported in nearly every instance, without the usual sequel of debility. In Louisville alone 10000 of the pills were sold in one day re- gently. No bad effects can follow the use of asafoetida, for of all things it is sedative. In Asiatic countries it is employed as a condiment, but that is a use to which few persons will care to put it. Many old people in the west who were far gone with the disease have, it is asserted, been cured by the asafmtida pills. They should be taken, according to their admirers, three times day with glass of water, and taken in this way are warranted not to taint the breath.

SOME of our exchanges are trying to make it appear that the DEMOCRAT and other papers which have opposed the Bulkeley Worlds fair convention, do not desire to see Connecticut repre- sented at the exposition. We protest against being misrepresented. The DEMOCRAT will work faithfully and well to aid any plan for raising funds, that does not savor of politics. But we do not relish the ways and means of Governor Bulkeley. He and his satel- lites have blocked legislation and are re- sponsible for the neglect of the general assembly to make provision for the states interest at the worlds fair.
 REPRESENTATIVE HoAR of Massachus- etts, is confident that the adoption of his resolution by the house, authorizing the committee on manufacturers to in- vestigate the SO called sweating" sys- tenn of tenement house labor, is a long step Tn the right direction, and he pre- diets that the result of the investigation will be some startling facts of special interest to those who wear ready made clothing.

Columbus was of powerful and L rye

in gestures: on the whole we'll formed; of

arms sinewy and bronztd like wave-beaten
oars; his nerves high strung and sensl-
live, quickly responsive to all emotlops;
his neck laig e and his shoulders troad'
his face rather long and his nose aqulline;
his complexion fair, even inclining 10
redpess; and somewhat ~dis1gured y"
freckIes; his gaze piercing and his {
clear; his brow high and calm, furrow
with the deep workings of thought. J
the life written by his son Ferdinand "
are told that Columbus not only sketched
most marvelous)y, but was so ss1llful q
penman that he was able to earn Il living
by engrossing and copying. In his pri-
vate notes he said that every good map
craftsman ought to be a good painter as
well. and he himself was such in his maps
and globes and charts. over which are
scattered all sorts of cleverly drawn
figures. He never penned IL letter or be-
gan a chapter without setting Mt the head

midst of the blindness that surrounded
him, that there in Spain, and in that cen

OF Columbus was to attain to fame and
unspeakable renown? Thers are those
who hold that this was the work of

SAD STORY, SAD FRAUD.
A Woman Who Is Using Father Smiths
Name to Rob the Charitable.

A Woman Who Is Using Father Smiths
Name to Rob the Charitable.
Superintendent Smith for the past week
has been e~ndeavering to cause the arrest
of an exceedingly clever female swindler
who has been working" the residents of
the Heights 'to the Queens taste"
The case was first reported to the Su-
periutendent indirectly by the Rev.
Father Smith of ST. Joseph's Roman Cath
Ollie Church. The woman is of medium
height and rather shabbily attired.
1t is stated by some of the people who
have been victimiZed that she has n letter
purporting to come from Father smith,
declaring that she is deserving of the as
s~istance people might give her. She is an
adept at the business, and her narrowing
tale of woe is told in Il manner which
causes the unsuspecting 10 give her many

serted her. She is too sick and WON out
to work and gain a living for herself and
three small children. Her husband beat
her, sold all the household furniture for
beer, and finally deserted her. This re-
suited in her being turned out into the
streets with her children. Such Is her tale.
If assistance is not forthcoming then
follows a story of Father Smiths state
nlent that hers is a deserving case. The
fact that Father Smith aided her and
gave her the right to ask in the name of
the church, leads many of the congrega-
tinn of st. Joseph's TO give freely.
Father Smith upon learning of the
fraRd that was being practised upon his
congregation, warned them to be on
the lookout for the woman. Subsequent
ly he notified the police but all attempts
to place her under arrest have been with
out avail. 1t is thought that the woman
is either operating in some other portion
of the city or has left for green fields IL
pastures new.
