A Remarkable Case of VivIsection Now
In Waterbury, Il

There is dog in this city that has
been the subject of remarkable surgi-
cal operation. He was afflicted with
cancer of the stomach which was re-
moved and silver plate substituted.
This plate is connected with the outer
world by means of a tube which is kept
corked. By laying the dog on his back
and removing the cork one can, by the
aid Of mirrors, look directly into the
place during life. This dog will be
shown in DIR Wilbur's lecture at Jacques
auditorium which commences Tuesday,
January 90. The doctor will allow the
dog to drink milk on the stage and
simply by removing the cork, allow it to
run out In q stream as large as ones
finger.

"THE cracker industry has grown to
be a big one in the United States" said
a gentleman, recently, who is in the
business, in answer to my question. "1t
is one about which most people know
and care little, so long as their crackers
are crisp and not burnt. 1t is esti-
mated that about ten million barrels of
crackers are made in this country annu
ally, or a barrel for every six persons.
Crackers average about fifty pounds to
the barrel, and about fifty crackers to
the pound. Figuring on this basis it
will be seen that about four hundred
crackers for each iRhabitant of the
United States are made each year.
Three great companies make most of
the crackers consumed in the United
States. There are a great many fac
tories, however, not in the combina-
tion."
IT was poor politics on the part of D.
]. Mahaney to accept that bet of Andy
johnson, involving the political honesty
of certain ex-democratic leader. The
| alleged crookedness was not generally
known, and the disclosures made this
week have opened the eyes of the
people, who have been on the wrong
track.
THE effects Of the Mckinley tariff are
coming to the surface in Connecticut.
| According to the reliable Bridgeport
Farmer, since January first sixteen
country store keepers in Fairfield
county have gone out of business,
owing to the fact that they could not
longer be run prOftably to the proprle-
tors. Four of these suspensions were in
the town of Greenwich, while the others
were in the villages of Stevenson, New
Canaan, North Wilton, Weston and
Bayport. Everyone of these places is 9
farming district and all of them dealt in
general merchandise. Many of the pro
Iprietors have been obliged to go out OF
business on account of failure to make
collections on goods sold Money in the
farming districts of the state is un
commonly scarce owing to the small
prices the farmer gets for his produce
and the amount he has to pay fol
clothes and other necessaries of life
Many Of the store keepers have hun
dreds of dollars upon their books, anC
it is due to this fact that they have re
linquished business.

KELLY SAYS

That honest competition is all right.
Competition, the gigantic power that ele-
waited us all to the present state of evolu-
ton! It is true that competition has
been and is now abused, but every insti-
tuition is subject to abuse and the misuse
of thing does not demonstrate that the
thing in itself is wrong. Nobody can
deny that competition during the centu-
ries of Christian civilization has developed
the brains and muscles of the human
race and that the continuous hest efforts
of humanity, stimulated by competition
these many centuries, have lifted our race
to standard where the mode of living of
common Bakers is more comfortable and
desirable than the everyday existence of
the Kings of which Homer sings.
Every generation has to battle with GER
tain problems, and it is my lot to battle
against grocers who buy Niagara Falls
Flour and sell it at lower price than the
cheapest grade of -four on the market, and
by doing 30 lose money and try to injure
the sale of this -four. This is not honest
competition.
Niagara Falls Flour will make more
bread and the bread will keep moist longer
than that made from any other grade of
-four.

largest county and Middlesex the
smallest.
The largest town is New Milford with
63 square miles; Woodstock follows
close with 90 square miles and Salisbury
with 81. New London stands at the
foot of the scale in point of area, with 6
square miles, but has two companions
of recent date, Ansonia and Derby.
There are nine towns with more than
60 square miles and five with less than
10. There are five towns set down
with so square miles each and two,
Beacon Falls and Windsor Locks, are
credited with 10 square miles.
