HOW TO MAKE A scRAPeook.
Nothing VIII DO Unless 1t he Good For =
Lenst a Henr.

Nothing Will DO Unless 1t he Good For at
Least Year.
For book in which to paste the cut
tings almost any bound volume will do,
especially if its pages show a wide mar
gin and the print can be readily covered
by two widths Of ordinary newspaper
clippings. The margin may be used for
notes, including dates and few ex-
planatory memoranda. The clippings
should be kept for a week or so before
they are pasted down, because a second
Judgment may rule them out. tbs quite
safe to advise collectors that no cutting
will do unless it bids fair to be fresh and
Ineligible year after it has been hon
ored with place in the scrapbook. If
the pages become too thick for the cover.
cut out two or three leaves after each
page filled with the clippings.
When there is the slightest possibility
that a scrapbook may be used for pub
fishing purposes, or that any of its en-
tries may be cut out for other uses, cover
one page only. But on the page used the
clippings should be pasted closely to-
gether. If possible, each. clipping should
retain the ''rule" which marks the end
of a printed paragraph or poem. The
column lines need not be retained. In
fact it is best to cut newspapers always
along these lines. Ragged edges Of
course should be avoided, and the mu~i-
lage with which the clippings are pasted
down should be used sparingly, lest it
ooze through the paper or exude from
under the edges. Flour paste is better
than mucilage, and what is known as
photographers paste is excellent.

A Citizen Urges Immediate Action.

Mr. Editor-In reference to the discus
sion now going on among many of our
citizens as to the most plausible manner
of relieving the present distress among
the unemployed of the city, permit me to
suggest that too much time should not be
spent in discussing the subject. Some
people may not be aware of the great need
of immediate action in this matter. If
people are dying of hunger as stated at the
meeting of the relief committee the other
evening, surely something should be done
at once. 1t is not altogether question of
how much imam is going to give, but
rather when is he going to give it. 1t is
poor consolation for hungry family to
learn that they shall have bread as soon as
the relief committee can agree as to the
best method of raising funds and distribut-
ing provisions. Let the citizens turn out
in full force and attend the town meeting
in City hall Friday night and vote sufi-
cient funds from the town treasury to
enable the selectmen to meet every
demand that may be made upon
them until the people have sufficient time
to come together and devise other means
of raising funds if the distress continues,
and the town appropriation should be in
sufficient to meet the demand. Let no
man try to make political capital out of
this thing by arguing that the town should
not make an appropriation for this pur-
pose, and that the Office of the selectmen
is not the proper channel through which it
should be distributed. The proposed ap-
preparation is a question of life or death
with many of our neighbors. For Gods
sake. then, let no man stand in its way.

THE GOVERNOR EXPLAINS

Why the Word Prosperity Does Not
Appear in HIS Proclamation.
The omission of the word prosperity"
from Governor Morris Thanksgiving Day
proclamation is noticeable because it has
been used year after year. The governor
was spoken to about it by reporter.
81 thought of that word prosperity when
wrote my proclamation, and under the
circumstances decided it had best be
omitted, 3" said the governor. ''Yery many
people would fail to see how the word
could apply to them. 1t is true the first
half of the year was marked by good bust
ness, but the last half has borne witness
to hard times in various parts of the world.
81 am looking for some improvement in
business this winter" continued the gov
ernor, although it would be late in the
season before tariff bill would have its
effect. By spring. however, there ought
to be very much better business. / have
conversed with o number of business men
of late and the general opinions seem to
be that as soon as business men know
what the tariff reduction is to be and can
shape their business accordingly, business
will improve at once. The silver repeal
bill. believe, has helped, but reduction
of the tariff is what is wanted. When the
mills shut down there was not much aceu-
INFLATED stock and the manufactured goods
become pretty much used up, so that when
the mills and the shops do start agnin
there should be an excellent demand and
/ should not wonder if there was quite a
boom in business for a time; and then
business will settle down to its usual
mace,

WORLD OF SPORTS.

1t is among the possibilities that Dan
Brouthers and Jake Stencil will wear Gin
cinnah uniforms next season.
Manager Ward admits that changes in
the New York team are contemplated, but
declines to SO into particulars.
1t is said that Comiskey contemplates
trading or selling Pitchers King, Sullivan
and Chamberlain in a bunch. Stivetts is
the man Comiskey eovets.
The Boston directory is reported to be
divided on the bunt question. Mr. Soden
is in favor of retention; Mr. Conant wants
it abolished, and Mr. Billings doesn't care
fig either way.
The New York club has not given up
hope of securing the release of Pitcher
Chamberlain of the Cincinnatis. Cham
berlain is dissatisfied and wants to come
east. Ward offered to trade either Stat
ford or Herman for Chamberlain last W, elk,
but the deal was blocked when Comiskey
let Pitcher Mike Sullivan 60 to Washington
in exchange for Hoy. Now il is probable
that New York would release Pitcher Bald
win and Petty to Cincinnati for Chamber
lain if Comiskey should look upon the
matter favorably. Ward figures that with
Rusie, German, Clark and Chamberlain,
New York could boast of having the strong
est pitching corps in the league. The deal
is still on.

A prominent physician advises cool
sponge baths twice week in winter
and oftener in summer. These should
be given in a warm room, and be fol-
lowed by friction by rubbing to pro
duce a glow, and if not followed by q
chill or headache the reaction has been
prompt and beneficial. Begin the baths
with warm water for the first one,
changing gradually to cold in following
baths. 1t is best to begin this treatment
in spring or as long before winter as con-
venient, as they will stimulate the cir
culation, prevent colds and act upon the
nasal membrane and promote the healthy
action of all the functions of the body.

being a compound fracture of the skull
and the scalp was torn from the center of
the head and laid back. The left arm was

Damage.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 2a.-The most
disastrous fire In recent years broke out at
midnight in the five story block at oS
Worthington street, owned by J. K. Dex-
ter g. Co. The flames leaped with fury
through the floors and completely took
possession OF the building before the fire
men arrived. Then the flames burst
through the three adjoining blocks and
were licking the rear wall of the Hotel
Glendower when one after another the
walls Of the four buildings collapsed, leav-
ing monster pile Of burning debris. This
saved the hotel and the further spread Of
the flames
As it was, four hve-story blocks, with q
total value Of nearly 800, 900 and contain
ing merchandise and stock valued at fully
twice that sum, were destroyed. The loss
will reach s3O0.0o0
About O'Clock aid from the surround.
ing cities arrived and a dozen or fifteen
engines were playing streams onto the
flames. The loss is difficult to estimate
Nearly half block of fine buildings has
been reduced to ashes and the damage
may reach $500, 900. The cause of the fire
is as yet unknown, but it is thought that
il was due to spontaneous combustion in
the rag warehouse where the FIRE was first
discovered.
At o'clock this morning the fire was
practically under control, but greater
part of the department was still on the
scene.
At nine o'clock the fire was
still burning brightly and 5000 people
we're watching the destruction. Chief
Lashure said this morning that the shift Of
wind was godsend which turned the fire
over its burned cauase or it might have
gone the whole length of Main street
At 10 o'clock the flames were nearly all
smothered, but vast volume of smoke
poured upward from the ruins. All the en-
gines were playing into the city banl
vaults hoping to keep them cool enough tc
save the contents. The vaults were appar
emily red hot. The Glendower manage

How Trees Affect the Climate of a Country.
A wooded country is almost invaria-
bly, wet. An average amount of trees or
vegetation brings an average supply of
rain, and by the same rule is the SUMS
heat distributed. AS sandy surfaces are
bad conductors, the climate by day is
very hot, and as the cooling effect of the
earth's radiation is greatest over sand
the heat passes off at night, and it is
comparatively cold. AS vegetable growth
receives the rays of the sun and none of
them falls on the soil, the temperature of
the soil does not rise SO high as that Of
land with no vegetable covering. Hence
this marked difference. The heat of the
day is more equally distributed over the
"a hours where there is vegetation, and
1t Is less intense by day and not so cool
by night.

Editor of the DESzocRAT:
As the good people of Waterbury
are considering the best means of
assisting its poor. please allow me
space enough to tell of one method
/ saw used. There was not any
talk about it, but it was practical. While
at Father Mulcahy's house a few mornings
ago. saw him distribute over thirty dol
lars to poor people in less than an hour.
What he gave before or after do not
know, beyond this, that in the afternoon
other requests for assistance were made
and Every request was honored. This is
practical charity, and 1 believe it should be
known. The poor can be helped without
so much talk. Respectfully Yours.
