A Five Minutes Talk,

Could we have the favor of personal interview with almost any resident of Waterbury we are confident we could convince him of the honest sincerity of our belief and moreover could produce re- liable evidence to prove our statements. We do not admire and never use sensa- tional advertising, believing that honest and exact statements, together with the testimony of respon sible pc ople, concern ing an article of true merit, will in the end gain the fullest confidence of the people. For this reason we shall tell you only what we absolutely know and can fully prove. During the last year nu- merous cases of obstinate bio diseases of long standing have been cured; victims of jaundice and other liver troubles have been restored to health; sufferers from constipation and it's attendant evils write us tf relief and cure and hundreds of people debilitated by disease, old age and overwork, have been made we'll and strong again by taking Sawyer's Dande- lion Compound. IT. contains no chemi- calls, has no inert and dirty sediment (this is true of no other kind) is better, purer and costs less than any other spring medi cihe. Do these facts suggest what you should do? Sincerely,

REACHING THE POOR.
Archdeacon Farrar Talks About
 Church Attendance.
A Plea for Corporate Christian Lifeline Danger of Isolation-Abolish Pew Rents and Make Sermons
 Brighter.

The great English clergyman, Arch deacon Farrar, like the late Phillips Brooks, whose ardent friend he was has always shown the deepest sympa- thy with and d thorough understanding of the common people. In Archdeacon Farrar's ease there arc peculiar reasons why this should be the case Unlike Bishop Brooks, the Englishman himself began life in very moderate circum- stances Of his mother he wrote re- gently: "She passed her life in the deep valley of poverty, obscurity and trial. but she has left to her only sur viving son the recollection of Il saint"
 Replying recently to the question: What should the clergy do to bring the woriingmcn into closer connection with thcm?'' he said: "For one thing. l hold that they should lay much greater stress on the fact that if a Christian is n Christian he ought not to be an individual one. It would be a most advantageous thing if it could be conclusivrly shown to the working classes that they should live, as Chris tians, q corporate life and not one of isolation. They would then come to our churches quite independently of
 
 Christians to come and worship in common as Christians. At recent ,:hurch congress one of the speak CTS made the remarks We don't ask why the workingmcn do not g~ to church, but why the church does not go to the worllingmen. 'Thc house. going parson makes the church-going people, There is a great truth underlying that statement. It means that if the people know their clergyman socially they arc far more likely to trust him and to come to church. Almost any body of clergy working in a parish who know the lower classes personally are sure to get them to come to religious gatherings. Further, it is of immense importance that the churches should be free espc- cially parish churches. At St. Marga- rets, from time immcmorial, there had been pew rents. But when l was up- pointed rector the first thing did was

The other person to whom we know was cured by the same remedy was Mir. L. P. Strickland of 5S Taylor street, Cleveland, Ohio. He says:
 ''I have taken Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and feel like a new man. It has cured me of chills, hot flashes, bloating after eating, cold feet and shortness of breath. I have had a fistula for over twenty years and 1t is almost gone now. I cannot express how thankful I am for this wonderful remedy"
 If you are out of order use this remedy. Everybody needs to take something in the spring for the liver, blood and nerves, and this is the best Spring medicine. All druggists keep it for $1, and it is purely vegetable and harmless,
 It is highly recommended ny the doc tors, especially at this season of the year. It is, in fact, the prescription and dis, covery of physician, Dr Greene, of 35 w. 14th St, New York, the renowned specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases. He can be con- suited free, personally or by letter.
 Everybody out of order, or who is not feeling just right, should use the remedy now.

And Why People Will Endure It is
 More Than We Can Understand.
 Biliousness is plague to people.
 And, as everybody knows, it is always worse in the spring.
 Now as we know something which will surely cure it, we will give the experience of two gentlemen whom we know.
 George F. Davis lives at 1S7 Mill St., Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
 "I had a terrible attack of biliousness and bilious colic," he said, "every four to five weeks, with gradual increase in severity. Although sought a cure through four of our leading physicians, the best they could do for me was tenn porary relief.
 'I used Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and while taking the first bottle had only one bilious spell. When the second bottle was about half taken had one more attack, but very much lighter, and this was the last at- tack had.
 "At the end of six months I was in better health than for five years before, and now I consider myself completely and permanently cured. would be pleased to answer all letters of enquiry.

odd Statistics About Thunder.

Thunderstorms are more frequent in Java than in any other part of the world, there being an average of 97 days in each year upon which they occur Next to Java comes Sumatra, which never has less than SC ''thunder days'' per year. Then comes Hindoostan with 56, Borneo with 54, the African gold coast with 52, and the region around Rio de Janciro, Brazil, with 51. The European list is headed by Italy, with 3S thunder days out of 365, on an aver age. Austria has 23; Baden, Wurtem- burg and Hungary each average 22; Silesia, Bavaria and Belgium have 21; Holland and Saxony, Is; France, Aus tria and south Russia, 1G; Great Britain and Switzerland, only 7. At Cairo, Egypt and in North Russia and in Swe- den and Norway the average is only 4 per year In Finland and East Turlle- stan thunderstorms are wholly un- known.

TEA GOWNS.

Styles Appropriate for Young Matrons
 Whom Giving Informal Receptions.
 The Empire styles now in vogue are carried out in the handsome tea gowns that young matrons, and their unmar- ried sisters as well, wear when receiv- ing intimate friends informally. The fabrics are soft wool crepon, Henrietta cloths, cashmere, and faced-cloth, while very elegant tea gowns are of velvet striped with satin, or else wrought in small dots. The acme of elegance is n gown of eminence velvet wrought with dots of lighter silk, the back in broad Vatican plait, the straight fronts fall ing from yoke of white guipure over eminence bengaline. Two droopinr ruffles of satin attach the front to the yoke, and it is adjusted to the figure at the waist-line by satin ribbons passed through button-holes wrought in the velvet. The sleeves have large puffs of velvet to the elbow, with close guipure sleeves below lined with benraline. This costly gown is reproduced at much less expense in mauve cloth or crepon, also in the very fine French hannels, with ecru embroidery done in guipure designs Another fancy uses thin creped gauge over thick silk for these flowing Empire gowns, one of pearl- gray gauge being over pink bengaline, the fronts turning back, with revers bordered with brown fur, from inner fronts of gathered pink satin widely iounced with creamy Mechlin lace. In bridal trousseaux are white crepon gowns made up very full over yellow or pink surah. w ith girdle, collar, and border of gold galloon dotted with col ored stones
 Fur Things are the latest European luxuriance for tea gowns Ermine with it's black dots lines gowns trimmed with black, while black silken Persian lamb lines a gown of brilliant red cloth. Pale pink surah gowns lined with ermine have q girdle of gold braid under the bust; another, with similar furry interior, is of yellow crape; and Q third, of mauve cloth. A petticoat of brocaded silk, or of batiste trimmed with lace is disclosed as the gown falls open in froht-Harper's Dazar.

X Calf With Il Wing.

A. Chisholm, a farmer near IIccla, E D., and who is one of the leading cat tlrmCn of Erulc county, reports that one of his cows gave birth few days ago to a winged calf. The calf is a bright, frolicllinG one and perfect in every respect save that it has wing growing from it's tody just back of the shouldrr-hlmic. The wing is perfectly natural, being jointed to the body, then extended harltward in natural posi- ti"n about six inches, at which point there is a joint allowing the outer cx- tr"mity of the wing to drop downward and forward, forming an a,.utc un:rlc A natural coat of hair covers the entire wing. MT. Chisholm cannot account for this wonderful freak of nature. but says that during the early part of the season last summer his cattle were nearly driven from their pasture. which h"rdcrcd the river, by the inccssant coming and going of large floclss of wild geese. The calf will not be able to fly with but one wing. but there is no tell ing to what extent wing culture might be developed by assiduous efforts In the :alfS progeny.

to abolish them. If things had bccn
 retained as formerly these rents would
 have furnished a large income; but | did not think it right that they should continue to exist. l considered it was of the utmost importance that the seats should be unappropriatcd from the mo mcnt that the service began; and this hold should be the c,lsc in all parish churches. Of course, the seats could
 not b" wholly unappropriatrd; other wise the practitioners would not be able to get seats. But in casr, where the church is not d parish one and where there are no parShiOncrs, think that all the seats should be free and open to all at all times. But that is not all. The officials should be inst rn"trd to give the kindcst and warlnrst vvcl- come to all who come. especially to strangers and the poor. If this were the ease, all the working clnSScS who chanccd to attend would ut once feel at
 home and as if welcome guests. This would be very ditfcrcnt from what one experiences in most churches.
 ''In nddition," he continued. "thc church should bc scrupulnuSly clean,
 bright and well warmed, and as beau
 tiful as the means of the parish will allow. The seats themselves should not be comfOrtlcss, but could be ar ranged so that the wOrShipcrS should go through the services without suffer- ing personal inconvenience It iSn great mistake for the clergy to put small stumbling blocks in the way of possible attcndcrs. They should offer rrasuna- ble ease and comfort to parishionrrs and strangers, who will, consequently,
 be more regular in their attendance nt public worship As to the condi, ions of the services, it is highly important that these should not be wcarisomnly long
 It is essential that, if people are to be- gin and continue to be church. going, the service should be shorter. brighter. less formal and much more elastic"
 ''I certainly think sermons ought not to be too long; very few are now; they should be reasonably short. A written sermon, if fairly well delivered, is, quite as acceptable. at any rate to an r,lu- cated audience, as an cXtcmporc one
 The reason why clcrgymcn prefer to read their sermons is that they consider they can give more carefully expressed thoughts, in better form, if they write them out. than if they give them forth eXtemporc. At the same time every clergyman who can do it fairly well should address the poorest audience
 without book. In conclusion, main tain that wherever the services are short, bright and hearty, and wherever the preacher has any real message to deliver, the church will not be empty"

 Certain sins of omission and commits sion there are for which there Is neither forgiveness nor ahSolution. A woman will forgive the man she loves for squ0ndcring her fortune. destroying her peace of mind, dtshOnoring the name he has given her, but woe bc unto him if he f"rtSCtS to kiss her g0Od-by when he goes down town in the morning. He may take off his coat, roll up his shirt sleeves, take week off for it, buy flow CTS, bon hpns, thcatrr tickets, be so good and prnItcnt that he doesn't know himself and has to bo introduced to his mirror every morning-hc cant make that right until the crack of doom. She never forGivCs and forgcts that, even if she says she docs, states the New York Sun.
 A woman never fOrgivcs n man for crlticislng her perfume; a man hates the follow that runs down tho brand of ci- gars he likes.
 woman may forgive the man who puts his umbrella down where if will drip all over her in tho car; she ncvor forgivcs the woman that sits down
 
 hers.
 She never forgives the woman that coaxes her servants away by offering them better wages, or the woman who knows her age and tells it, or the woman the man she likes admircs md praises. or the woman who always looks little finer, dresses a bit hand somer. does things shade better than she can herself. We all know that woman and hate her while we smile into her cyes'nnd kiss her good-by, ac- Knowledging ourselves her inferior. No woman sits down and bcwails her inability to wear the Astor diamonds or to rival the famous beauties of the world. but it is tho woman who buys one more gown than we can afford, who keeps two servants when we have only one, who fades our pinlls with her roses and dulls our charms with her graces whom 1t is hard to forgive as we would be forgiven.

 Certain old customs die hard, other wise, notes the London Standard. n l';sris off, ial, who has just received q present of ten pounds of candles, would not have hud th'j gift offered him. The raan thus an1l&lly favored is the police conr1isSary of the t!istli t of St ttcr'n@in lAuXcrr, is in Paris: he re ccivcs his box Cf candles from the chamber of notarics. The oririn of this observance dates long way back. It arose out of a Gj&putc between the -"'licc conllnissary (, f the Chatclct and - he corporation Ci not2ri-:5. The tliltv

He gained his point, and from that time torw&rI the commissary was given three hundred pounds of wax annually. In the course of time the three hun trcd pounds of wax have gradually In"ltcd away and dwintllcd, till in the present day the ancient custom has ,omc down to the gift of a tcn-pound box of composite candles.

MANY are the complaints made

MANY are the complaints made against our patent laws. A patent is supposed to give one a monopoly and the right to charge an extortionate price for the patented article. There is another side to it. The government issues the patent, but it does not defend the right of the patentee. In contest over a patent the side with the longest purse generally wins, and a poor man is at the mercy of the lawyers who de. fend his right. If the government should be made resDonsible for the de. fense of every patent 1t issues, far more care would be taken in judging the value of thew ideas"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND was fifty-siX years old Saturday, and his numerous callers did not forget to tender con. gratulations and wish him many happy returns" The day was not cele- brated in any way at the white house, unless the unusually hard days work put in by the president and his assistants can be called a celebration. That the rule against the appointment of ex- officials is not an iron-clad affair was demonstrated when Representative Springer of Illinois, at the head of a delegation, presented the name of l.. w. Chambers, who was postmaster at Jacksonville, Ill, under Mir CIeveiand's last administration, as a candidate for re-appointment. The president at once reminded Mir Springer of the one term rule. But, Mir President" replied Mir Springer, "this is an exceptional case. Mir Chambers was the best spostmaster the town ever had and the citizens gen. erally wish him re-appoin:ed. Besides he was not allowed to serve out his time." "Ah" replied Mir Cleveland, "that makes quite a difference. Please put the facts in writing and submit to n,aO
