"No, thank you, I do not use fly
paper or fly traps about my house,
presence the other day, adding: ST
learned great many years ago that the
more things we have to call flies the
more will come. In a neighborhood
where flies were simply nuisance I
lived almost unmolested by them, be-
cause never permitted an article of
stale food to accumulate about the
premises. Flies will never stay where
they are in danger of starvation, and 1
feed them with, not even fly paper. It
| is my opinion that every form of fly
paper, fly poison, or fly trap which is
baited with any substance, is Just so
much inducement for them to stay
| around the house. They think-if flies
are capable of thinking-that they are
going to get something TO eat, and
therefore hang around. The best fly
preventative is starvation.

OWNERS of dogs should commit to
| memory the following bill which has
passed both branches of the legislature:
every person owning or having the
custody of any dog accustomed to go
out on any highway or common and
growl, snap or bite, or otherwise annoy
any person or horses lawfully using
such highway or common shall be fined
not more than seven dollars or be i'm
prisoned not more than ten days or
both; provided that written notice of
any grand juror, justice of the peace or
prosecuting attorney of the town,
been previously given to said owner or
keeper"
"SOME folks don't seem to have no
notion of the proprieties," said Jack
Harley, tourist printer who is well
known in Waterbury, as he rushed into
the DEMOCRAT Office the other evening
and begged for something to save his
life.
"Why, what's the matter now ?''
asked thesociety editor.
sob, folks should know that bottles
amt the correct thing to keep kerosene
oil in, see?' he answered, as he made a
Igrimace and wiped his tongue on his
sleeve. "Who'd think anybody would
be fool enough to send little girl to a
store with quart flask to get Kerosene
oilT And he vainly tried to turn his
mouth inside out to wipe it with his
tattered sleeve.
He was provided with the NEAR
needed to secure an antIdote.

MISS May Sullivan of New Haven who
will take the part of Josephine in the
Iopera of "Pinafore" next week in the
City hall, is comparative stranger t.
Waterbury, but is sure of making a last
ing impression and favorable one, too
She is beautiful young woman, gifted
with a voice of wonderful clearness anC
sweetness and splendidly trained. Thu
Meriden Journal says of her: Her move
ments were the essence of gracefulnes
and she conducted herself all through
with an ease that was charming.
Il IT takes all kinds of people to make
world, they say, and the point is vel
-. taken. Waterbury can probably fur
nish as many varieties of mankind Al
. any place in Connecticut, and stranger
coming here are apt to be surprised ant
: even shocked at some of the things the,
see and hear. Last week one of th
gentlemen who assisted in the work O.
getting up the DEMOCRAT souvenir ha,
occasion to wait upon an ex-city off
cial, to collect small bill. He Gale,
! by appointment and, of course, ex
! pected a kindly reception. The man
! wife answered the "ring" and when tn
caller stated his errand she retired t.
\ another room where her liege lord wa
enjoying a siesta. Upon being in
D formed of the nature of the souveni
mans business, he said, in voice jus
loud enough for the latter to hear:
"I haven't got any money; tell hin
to go to hell"
The embarrassed lady said not word
but went to another room and returne
u in a minute with the amount of tn
: bill.

d his own expense and the contrast
q very striking.
