BUILDING IN WATERBURY.

A Real Estate Dealer SAYS There lie No
Demand For Cheap Tenements.
"There was never so many vacant
tenements in this city since I have been
in business" said prominent real es-
tate agent to-day.
Being asked why this was so he re-
piled:
"The fact is, the building of tenement
houses has been overdone in the past
few years. People now want houses
with all modern improvements and at a
moderate rent, say from $12 to $40 a
month. The consequence is that the
houses built ten or a dozen years ago are
being vacated very fast. There is no
new err terprise being added to the bust
ness of the city, and people are not COM
ing in fast enough TO take up what
rents are now available. Building keeps
going on just the same, however"

A Homtly on True Love.

II notice that young lady has been
writing to a periodical that Love is not so
very difficult to gain, but is very difficult TO
keep" said Harry Richardson an author
ity on affairs of the heart as he led the cor
ridor man into sunny corner of the I.aclede
rotunda. Now 1t is painfully evident that
the young aspiraut for literary honors has
studied the bogus article only. False love
is easily got and easier lost, but the genuine
article is very rare and evasive bird that
sometimes requires years of patient en-
dcavor to domesticate Once got, however
1t is harder to lose than 'yaller' dog or II
dime novel detective. All this prattle
about love being fragile flower, ever ready
to shrivel up like an unripe angleworm on
sea coal fire, Is the veriest moonshine,
written by very young people, who imagine
themselves in love when they are but off
their feed or troubled with disgruntled
liver
"True love Is harder to kill than n map
peddler. 1t is rugged plant that win
stand more neglect than poor relation,
moro hardship than a street car mule. more
abuse than successful candidate. 1t is a
spark of the divinity, and however much il
may wish for death 1t can not die. If the
little archer ever gets a square shot at that
young lady's heart, and it is big enough to
stop an arrow, she will write differently.
She may learn to her sorrow that love is
not fame that waits upon the judgment,
and find herself loving man she heartily
| despises. For love is not blind, as the poets
have painted him His eyes are proternat-
urally keen, and he sometimes takes n
flendish delight in showing us the imper.
| fections of our idols. st. Louis Globe.

Pretended Deaf Men.

In the countries Of Europe in which thu
military CONSUMPTION exists many tricks
are resorted to by conscipts In the effort te
escape service. Often men hive been known
to mutilnte themselves, as by cutting of a
forefinger In order to render them unfit fol
the service. Pretended inability to sec is
exposed by the surgeons without great diff.
fculty, but pretended deafness sometimes
battles the examiners.
A counter trick on the part of the officers
was for some time effective against this
fraud. The recruiting officer, after con.
script had pretended to be deaf, remarked
in an ordinary tone of voice, You are un
fit for the service; you are free" In many
cases the recruit showed by evident signs
of satisfaction that he had heard the re
mark. ......-. a..
He was then recalled, told that he had
been detected In his fraud and sent to the
barracks.
After a time, however, the conscripts be
came too wary to be caught in this trap
They had heard of the trick and were OF
the look out for this remark, and when il
was uttered they made no sign of intelli
gence. Lately the French officers have in
vented new trap" the success of which
is curious illustration of the ingrainet
courtesy, or at least the assumption o.
courtesy, on the part of Frenchmen Of al
classes
After the you are free" has failed to OK
cite any sign of understanding in the lie
cruit's face, the command to go" l.
shouted at him. He starts out of the room
the door of which is held open by mechan
icnl means. As he passes through it thu
officer says:
you might at least shut the door!'
This little unjust impeachment of tn,
mans politeness is said in 8 cases out o
10 Of pretended deafness to result in quicl
turning Of the mans head He is theI
called back and told that he has been founc
fit for the service.-New York World.

The Pummeiing Age of Criticism

When Tennyson put forth his youthful
volume of Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" 1880
it had to run the gauntlet of kind of crit
icsm now happily extinct. The practition.
ers Of the ungentle craft are still too often
adopts in the art of giving pain, and envy
hatred and all Observation-Disclosures wear the
mask of zeal for good literature. But the
slashing article is no longer in vogue The
reviewer may be unfair, supereilious, often
sive malignant, mean, but he does not or
dinarily nowadays call his victim an ass OF
an idiot and intimate that he has an addle
head and rotten heart.
Such little endearments were quite eI
reggie in the days of the "Blackwood's wits
and the early years of "Fraser's." Tn
glee, the abandon, with which Wilson ant
Lockhart and Maginn poured out ridicul'
on cockney or Wing, their uproarioui
contempt, the names that they called him
the blackguardly epithets that they applied
to him, the personalities of their attack
these are luxuries that no reputable review
can now afford. And yet Christophe
North was not an unkindly man, thougl
he loved, as Carlyle said of him, to .'aiv
kicks. "-H. A. Beers in Century.

There was an American In the railway
carriage to Liverpool. This gentleman in
terested me greatly. He was dark and
dressed with elaborate care, and Kept on
producing instruments of q remarkable
character from his pockets. He was u man
who was thoroughly equipped for all the
contingencies Of everyday life. A blue bot
tie got into the carriage and he produced Q
fly paper, on which 1t promptly settled and
died. He wanted to smoke, and he tool
out pipe with seventeen distinct and sep
arate patents in It. He filed 1t from 1
pouch which was absolutely remarkabl,
for its ingenuity.
He put the tobacco In with q paten
spoon, he rammed it down with meta
stopper, then he put n skewer, which h,
wore attached to silver chain, up the stem
then he stabbed the tobacco with Il stilettt
to make the pipe draw more easily, ant
then he kindled light by means of al
elaborate arrangement in six compart
ments, which took about fifteen minutes t.
fit together.
After that he hung his hat up by paten
hat suspender, put on his gloves with
button hook, squirted himself all over witt
a scent spray, cut his newspaper with
paper cutter that was also railway Ike
and bootjack, and wrapped himself in
patent rug, which by pulling variou
strings could be made into an overcoat,
macintosh, bed quilt, life belt, table
cloth and sbroud. Finally he went t
sleep, after setting pocket alarm to wax
him up in an hour and putting paten
catch on his watch chain in case either c
us should be taken suddenly with klepte
mania.-George r. Sims in Referee.
