RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENT.

 Presently she clutched him by the arm and anxiously, even nervously, looked into his face.
 Mercy, John. let's go back ter hum. This noise is too much"
 Yer right" replied John. Cant stand it myself"
 She clutched his arm, and with hur- ried steps they proceeded down Barclay street.
 \ party of gentlemen on the steps of the Astor House had been watching the couple and overheard the remarks passed between them.
 That shows you what effect environ ment has upon people" said one philo- sophically. They were brought mp ill the country, where probably no mur- mur of the business and commercial world ever found its way. To them the lazy wind signing among the branches of the trees, the singing of the birds and the running waters of the brook form an important part of their daily life. They would be unhappy. even in the grandcst palace, without this simple yet beauti- full music of nature.
 Yet how different it is with me. add undoubtedly with you all. l tire of the 1 country in few days. Tome the scene before us now is as inspiring and heauti- 1 full as any l ever saw elsewhere.

Hnm tn Arnid Wrinkles.

If you have any desire to avoid wrin- kles. care not only for your skin. but your nerves; control your temper and do not try to have too expressive and viva cious countenance. Sleep nine hours a night and an hour a day. Decline to worry. Wear smoked glasses instead of scowling fiercely at the sunlight and the water. Refuse to try 10 distinguish things afar of. Wash your face in warm water with pure soap once n day and rub it softly with flannel after washing Feed it with pure, cold cream. Don't be afraid of an occasional sunburn. It smooths the face wonderfully. But, above all, be emotionless.

\ Number of Saloon Keepers Feeling the
 Effects of Hard Times.
 The depression in business and the scarcity of money is going to force about one-fourth of the licensed liquor dealers of Waterbury out of the business. The wholesale dealers whose custom has bean to pay the license fee at the beginning of the year can not this year afford to assist many small dealers who already owe them big bills for their goods. It is said that many small dealers contemplated taking out only beer license next year. but party in position to know says that 1t will be difficult for anyone at present holding a full license to obtain beer license. This question of fewer licenses is proving per picking one to the committee appointed at the town meeting to consider how large a town tax shall be laid. It will decrease the revenue accruing tO the town by several thousand dollars and may be the cause of an additional mill being put on Ia what was orignally intended.
