CIRCUS CONTRACTS.
To Whom the Money Goes in Every Tow
the Barnum & Galley Show Yisits

To Whom the Money Goes in Every Town
the Barnum & Bailey Show Visits.
Barnum & Bailey's great circus will
exhibit in Waterbury on May 81, and
arrangements for supplies are already
being made. Contracts have been made
for hundreds of pounds of meat, hay,
bushels of oats, straw, bran, potatoes
veg etables of all kinds, water, license
and ground, with the bill poster for his
billboards, with all the hotels, and in
fact with nearly everybody in the town
who has something to sell, and this is
done in every town in the country
where the show exhibits, the money
paid for these things footing up thou
sands of dollars, thus enriching the citi-
zens of every such town to an equal ex-
tent. When the money spent by the
employees of the show is considered, and
by the vast number of people who come
to town on that day on the railroads and
in other ways, the advent of Barnum s,
BaIley's show causes thousands of dol
lars to be put in circulation in such
town. They pay cash for everything
and all with whom contracts have been
made are richer by their coming, while
if you ask any storekeeper he will tell
YOU his receipts the day Barnum &
Bailey were in town were ten times as
great as on any other day. By the way,
ask the station agent and he will tell
you that sixty-four railroad cars are alb
solutely necessary to carry all the Bar
mum 81 Bailey show, and that that num-
Der of cars will be here. Ask him also
how many cars the other show has-if
any other show Is coming to your town
and then you will at once see the

Speaking of THE New South" which

Tuesday evening, the New York Tele-
gram says: The situations were admir-.
ably handled by the company. Miss
Phoebe Davies, as Georgia Gwynne, was
especially deserving of praise for a be-
.comingly quiet, entirely natural read
ing of very trying part. Although
her part is emotional, she pleased her
audience by steering clear of all the
tricks and over-acting of the emotional
actress. The authors Clay NJ. Greene
and Joseph r. Grismer, were treated to
an ovation at the end of the second act.
"Gloriana."

cess called "Gloriana" will be presented

lately completed run of 100 perform
ances in New York city. A cast of un-
usual excellence, including many old
favori:es and some new faces, will pre-
sent the play.

6aIns From Regular Habits.

An English scientific philosopher
lately made a half.playful, half~serious
defense of tie routine life of the MAD of
Irregular habits"
He insisted that in this busy age, when
so many duties press upon ar active man
and there are so many things which una
voidably call for the exercise of atten-
tion, judgment and decision every day,
it is the part of wisdom-a real conseE.
walton ok0nergy and nervous force-to
settle as many as possible of the routine
matters by a fixed habit of life.
There seems to be sense in the sugges-
ton. Why should a man with anything
important to DO in the world tax the
gray matter of his brain newly every
day to decide what he will eat or drink
or wear, what his pleasures shall be and
what his recreation, when he shall 60 to
bed and when get up2 Having arrived
at years of discretion and discrimination,
why can he not 80 order his life az to
have these and kindred things come and

treadmill of life. Il is to lay out a
tmooth road for journeyiug with the
least possible friction and waste. "To
choose time is to save time" A consid-
cradle proportion of the worry and waste
of life comes from a needless jumbling
of work and clashing of duties.
Whatever We may think of the meth.

eomplish great things and live to e good

A Vegetable PepGtn.

The useful properties of the papaw
plant have long been known to tue vari-
Gus natives, and have been taken ad-
vantage of by them, as a be seen by
referahce to the works of travellers who
can themselves vouch for the accuracy
of the accounts they narEate. Thus
Drury, in "The Useful Plants If 9ndia,"
states that old hogs aud poultry which
are fed upon the leaves and fruit, how,
ever tough the meat they afford might
otherwise be, are thus rendered perfectly
tender and good, if eaten as aoon as
killed. Browne, too, in his Natural
History Of jamaica" says that meat be-
comes tender after being washed with
water to which the juice of the papaw
tree has been added; and if lift in such
water ten minutes, it will fall from the
spit while roasting, or separate into
shreds while boiling.
In his "History of Barbados" Crit
fifth Hughes mentions that the juice of
the papaw tree is OF so penetrating q
nature that, if the unripe-peeled fruit be
boiled with the toughest old sailed meat,
It quickly makes it soft and tender.
Kersten also tells US that boiling meat
with the juice of the papaw is quite a
common thing in Quito. Captain s. P.
Oliver, writing in Nature, July 10, 1879,
says: ''In Mauritius, where we lived
principally on ration beef cut from the
tough flesh of the Malagssy oxen, we
were in the habit of hanging the ration
under the leaves themselves; aud if we
were in a hurry for a very tender piece
of fllet, our cook would wrap up the
undercut of the sirloin in the leaves,
when the newly-killed meat would be as
tender as if it had been hung for a con.
siderable time. "-Chambers's Journal.

The Cherokee Commission. which has
just concluded an agreement with the
Pawnee Indians for the cession to th
United States of 2s3, 900 acres Of land,
bears this emphatic testimony to the
good influences of education among
these people: "The Pawnss schools
are we'll attended, and the older aud uu.
educated Indians are manifestiug an in
terest ttfrein, not common to Indians
generally in that they defer to the judg-
ment OF their educated and English
speaking young men. In our councils
