A Novel Enternr,se.

That "where there's will there's way" finds fresh illustration in Mich igan farm-lad's enterprise. A Detroit drummer tells the Chicago Mail that "it is just in the height of the fishing season in the upper lake region, and a farmer boy near Grand Rapids has started upon an entirely new industry. He is conducting a cricket ranch. He is raising crickets by thousands and sells them to anglers for bait. He has only just started upon this novel under taking, but says that there's millions in it, and that he is sure 1t will prove a profitable and successful line of busi- ness. In the winter time he proposes to convert his cricket ranch into 8 skunk farm and raise skunks for their skins. For several years past he has raised colony of cats every season, and says that he finds ready sale for all of the belts he can deliver to the Chicago market"

A NOVELTY which is likely to be widely appreciated is a postal" pen, i e., penholder fitted with scale which gives the accurate weight and amount of postage of letters and small parcels. The pen nib is arranged at one end and the weigher at the other. The weigher consists of carefully adjusted spring. The letter to be weighed is placed in a clip, and the penholder is held in Q yer tical position. The indicator then marks the weight and postage of the letter. One of the nuisances of life is to have to go to the post office in order to ascertain the weight of letter that is just on the border line between light" and "heavy," and if the postal pen will banish forever this necessity it it is a boon indeed.

THIS story of a capture of hibernat- ing bears comes from the state of Wash ington. It is related by two citizens of Skipanon, who saw the beasts in cap tivity. Their owner said that, in cut ting down one of the giant spruce trees common to that region, he discovered that one part of it was hollow, and, looking into the cavity, he made out three slumbering bears. Thereupon he nailed ''slabs" of wood across the hole, and sawed off from the main trunk the section of tree in which the bears were housed. This he started down the mountain side in the usual fashion, and the novel cage and its contents arrived safely at the bottom. The bears, while in state of semi-torpor, were on exhi- bition.

ABOUT the only circumstance that has tended to reconcile people to their fate during the hot spell that we have been having is the fact that the high tempera- ture has prevailed everywhere through out the northern states this side of the Rocky mountains. The people in the rural districts, as we'll as those dwelling
 in the cities, have suffered alike, and the only relief has been found on the excursion boats, which, however,
 have been too crowded for real comfort. It has been found necessary to go as far south as New Orleans to find reasonably cool city this week. This seems almost paradoxical, but it is true.
 CHOLERA infantum, that midsummer scourge which stays it's thousands every year, is reported to be on the increase in
 this city. It is natural result of the extremely sultry weather of the past
 few days. Very many of the cases,
 however, might be prevented by the
 exercise of precautionary measures. Ignorance is the great foe of health, and considering the senseless course
 pursued by many parents, the wonder is l that so many children survive infancy. Even in a city the size of Waterbury
 there arc hundreds of households where
 the children are almost totally neg
 lected, either because the parents are forced to leave home to earn their daily
 bread or because they are too careless \ to know or care how their children are
 fed and clothed. In homes of the better
 class over-indulgence of the wishes of
 the little ones has much to answer for.
 Prevention is far better than cure and attention to sanitary laws will save
 much suffering this hot weather, not
 only among babies, but among grown
 people as well.

THE Republican prints a half column editorial under the caption "A Story of Lost Venture" and draws several morals from the collapsed Virginia booms, in which thousands of investors lost heavily. Will our esteemed con- temporary tell the public about the joint stock corporation organized four years ago to carry Waterbury for Harrison.

But Cap'n Bounce got no nearer
 Hottentot country than Bismarck.
 There he tarried, and one day i'm Lit
 tel, of Paradise, ran across him moping along the Missouri river. 1t was then that the cap'n learned how old Simon Yarrup's son, whom they supposed to be dead, had come back to them. As the description of this son given by Jim Litte1 coincided with that of the old sailors supposed rival the cap'n dis covered his sad error and hurried back to Paradise, but no explanation would avail with the fair Belindy. Old Si- mons son had come back rich and he was going to be the making of his folks. They were going east to live, and Belindy would henceforth be Be linda and set her cap for something higher than reformed pirate who was
 left handed and had only his half-pay to live on.
 This was rough on the cap'n, but he
 had had his fingers burnt before, and why did he persist in playing with ! fire?
 The cap'n has again painted out ! the name on the side of his shack. He now calls it the Polly O. as formerly,
 and the cannon is fired regularly morn \ ing and evening, just as though Belindy' ! Yarrup had never altered the custom. l-William Wallace Cook, in Yankee \ P1ada
