The Toronto agents Of importers Of

selves very greatly this season in pur-
suit Of orders for that material They
say that the pressure Of competition
from the United States makes business
both too small and improbable for it to
be worth much trouble and that this

Works company, claim that the quality

for their purposes are better than in
British brands they have heretofore used.
The company named above bought in
Glasgow all the iron they imported mp
to this year. Our Canadian pig, which,
by the way, is coming into wider con-

by the fact that they are rarely seen buy

on cigars, drinks and the like, the sum is

heard not long ago Of a man who is pos
sessed Of what might be called average

smoking.
In that moment Of genial introspection
which not infrequently assails man

Daisy Miller,s Little Brother.

The willful little brother of Daisy
Miller is no less true type than his old
er and more famous sister. One has but
to watch our children's manners with a
very little attention to discover this. It
will be noticed, too, that those little ones
whose parents are wealthy enough to
leave them in the hands of trained serv-
ants have, at least on the surface, the
best manners united to the most docility.
This seems to be largely because the serv-
ants exact a certain sort of subjugation
from them as well as ready obedience
to what commands they themselves may
be allowed to give. The average parent,
on the contrary, has no apparent idea Of
enforcing his desires. Listen to the
"Don't do this" and "Do that" as said
to the children you encounter in pub
lie places, and notice how seldom any
heed whatever is given to the speech.
Once in 80 times is liberal allowance.

THE DEATH or HAMLET.


He sleeps At last, and al the grief
That shook his soul In manhood 3 prime
Il waited Ike some faded leaf
Across the horizon Of time.
How shall we ftly say farewell
To him whose voice In other days
Thrilled human hearts as BY spell
And won the incense Of their praisei
Like some dneentle blast that shakes
The fnirest blossom from the tree
Is this grim mystery that takes
Life's perfume and life's fiow'r from thee
And can those lips indeed be dumb
From which such golden words did fall,
And Is that princely figure numb
That yields the purple TO the pain
Alas, 'tis sol The prince Is dead
Who showed US Denmark's woes anew.
Nay sweetest rest attend his bed
And peace the gentle heart and truei
The lights are out, the play Is DER,
His voice is hushed. in very truth.
His presence ne'er shall thrill us moro,

J. P. Blaize, an extensive real estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa., narrowly escaped one of the severest attacks of pneumonia while in the northern part of that state during a recent blizzard, says the Saturday Review. MT Blaize had occasion to drive several miles during the storm and was so thoroughly chilled that he was unable to get warm, and inside of an hour after his return he was threat ened with severe case of pneumonia or lung fever. Mir Blaize sent to the near est drug store and got bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took a number of
 large doses. He says the effect was won- derful and in short time he was breath l ing quite easily. He kept on taking the ! medicine and the next day was able to ! come to Des Moines. MT Blaize regards
 his cure as simply wonderful. For sale

FOR VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

FOR VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
 There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Village Improvement as- sociation held at the residence of the vice president, December 1, when the committee on hall reported that they could purchase a building of Mir Hen- drickson at reasonable price and on very liberal terms. They proposed to form stock company with capital of 5000, divided into 100 shares at Sl0 each. As soon as 50 shares are subscrib- ed, the alterations on the building will be commenced. The committee on an entertainment reported that the quartet club of Danbury would give concert to be followed by dance, as soon as the building was ready. The president made his semi-annual report as follows:
 We have been organized for more than six months now, and think we should consider | what we have done in that time, what we are | doing now, and what we have to do in the fu- l ture. We have a membership ot 26. It ought l to be double that number and if each one will | try, they can get one more member to join so | llldl UelOEt OuE car up OuT huhuUcI miii DS doubled. The sidewalk has been graded, ,wid- ened and some cinders put on it, and drain | pipe has been put under the drive leading to l the warehouse. The amount of cash spent on | the sidewalk is S9. There was no account kept of the number ot volunteers who worked | on the sidewalk. Two members who were | unable to be present when the sidewalk was l fixed, hired and paid for substitutes. There have been six street lamps purchased at a cost Of s2950 including the posts, freight and carting. For maintaining the lamps there has been paid for boy tor trimming, lighting and
 filling them $s.s5, for oil s3.40. There has also | been purchased two barrels oil at a cost in

THE MACADAMIZED ROAD.


 The work of covering our macadam road with screened gravel, done under contract by the Stone Road Construction Co.,, the original builder of the road, is nearly completed, at the cost of $500. It is supposed that with little timely work where needed, the road will be in good condition for several years. We are convinced that macadam road is good road to travel on, also that it will be an expensive road. But there is no danger that the town will be bankrupted so long as the rule is established by vote of the town in relation to the construction of such roads is adhered to, viz: that no more money shall be drawn from the treasury than shall be expended from subscribed fund.

LET THE DEAR PUBLIC JUDGE.

Some of our local societies have been disputing as to which is the most pro- gressive. Neither seems to base it's claim to superiority upon substantial grounds. Both doubtless are commend able and useful in their respective circles. But would it not be better to stop boast ing and let the public judge from their works which IS the most progressive. Clubs and societies are fads of the time. There are club and clubs, societies and societies. The getting together of mem- bers at stated times and having a good time, and thus spending much valuable time do not constitute progressiveness, unless the footing up shows balance in favor of individua progression. The purpose of such organizations should be mutual improvement. If rightly con- ducted they may be highly beneficial, otherwise they are worse than useless.

OF THE GREAT EXPOSITION.

cations-Education Congresses
I'm Session in Exposition Grounds
Other Notes of Interest.

Java village in Midway plaisance has been
rightfuily classed among the meritorious en-
terprises aad exhibits at the Worlds Fair.
Situated in the most prominent section of
this truly wonderful street, and covering a
stretch of ground only equaled by one other
concessionaire the buildings o. the little
people from the Eastern Archipelago have
for months attracted the attention and ad-
niration of the thousands OF people who
daily travel over the white road. The pro-
moters of the enterprise had two motives In
view when thSy accepted the invitation ofthe
United States Government to exhibit at the
Worlds Fair the resources OF the island and
the customs and manners of the people.
The first was to make vigorous effort to
introduce into the United States the de-
licious and unauthorized coffee and tea
grown upon the big estates OF the island.
The other motive was 70 show to the people
of other countries visiting the Fair the Gus
toms and manners OF the inhabitants of the
island of Java. No expense was spared in
preparing the building material with which
the village was TO be constructed, or in the
equipment of 125 natives with the parapher-
MALTA necessary for a correct representation
of their dances, religious ceremonies and
athletic sports. Like the coffee and tea sold
in theF bamboo house in the center OF the
colony, there is nothing in the construction
of the village that is not genuine. Every
mouse Is built OF native WOODS ana SraSSeS.
and was first set up in Java before its remOv
al to Chicago. Then, too, native workmen
put the buildings together without the use
Of ten pounds of nails. One OF the striking
features of the Village is the theatre-the
largest and by far the best appointed in Mid
way. The performances are OF a most re-
fined character, and provoke hearty demon
STATIONS Of approval. The orchestra is com
posed Of a score of natives, VINO wear red
jackets and sit IN tiers back Of the perform
ers. The music is delightfully."- weird, the
mellow boom of the great gongs ana the
measured rattle Of the xyiOphOnes breaking
melodious upon the ear. Among the per
formers are sweet-faced girls from the royal
theatre of the late Sultan Of Solo, and from
the households Of native chieftainS in the
