The Boys Understand Human Nature.

One reason why sharpers succeed so we'll in preying upon country folks who come to the city seems to be that strangers do not know how to say no. They feel alone and unsupported and they lose their nerve, so that they can be led to do many foolish things which they would not do at home. This is well illustrated at the ferry houses. Little street Arabs stand at the street crossings in front of the ferries and aecost the strangers who have valises. saying, Let me carry that for you, sirf"
 The smartest of them do not selicit at all, but rush up and seize the strangers bags, even using little force. It is notice able that in at least half such cases the countrymen let the boys have their way. They are able to carry their own burdens and really want to do so, but they seem tC grow helpless with the first whiff of the city atmosphere-NewY York Sun.

A Cement Which ResIsts Acid.

In some branches of industry a cement which is proof against the influence of acids is absolutely essential, and such a substance can be prepared by melting to- gether one part of India rubber with two parts of linseed oil This should be gradu- ally incorporated with three parts of white bole, so as to form a plastic mass. This, when heated, softens but very little. Though itdoes not easily dry upon the surface, when once set it is not affected at all by hydro chloric acid. and but very little by nitric acid Its drying and hardening is mate rially promoted by mixing with one-ffth of its weight of litharge or minium.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Work for Everyone

How can We find employment for the people who are compelled to live on short al- lowancc? By extending water pipes on the new streets. that you contemplate laying water pipes when you get the new water supply. or replacing the old cement pipes with iron. that you will be compelled to do next summer. This can be done without laying special tax, because the city has power to borrow n half million dollars to furnish the people with water.
 KELLY says to the Common Council, You can put every idle man in Waterbury working tomorrow. because you have the money and the work to do. and you will bring comfort to many hresides that have been wrecked by the present hard times"

A Little Uncertainty as to Where w omei
 q Shall Vote. uh

-T snail Votes w
 The law with-regard to woman suffrage is full of flaws and was evidently prepared in a hurry. It has been decided that women may register at any time before the close of the polls on election day. This being the case there may be considerable confusion at ther polls. So far as we can learn no provision has been made for printing a list of women voters. Town Clerk Madden will prepare one list, but one will not be enough If the women vote in the respec- tive wards in which they live. Then again, even though the lists are printed, there is bound to be a clash in case women who register after the lists were pre- pared approach the polls to vote. If it is not contrary to the provisions of the law, the DEMOCRAT would suggest that a separate polling place, centrally located, be provided for ,,the women, where they may fight it out among themselves. These are questions which should be considered by the proper authorities before the ninth hour.

In some surburban villages the lamp lighter makes his rounds in n sulky. He may not have n greater number of lamps to light than his city brother, but it may be that they are further apart and to get over the ground in time he must drive.

such protection well repays its cost
simply in the colder water thai is thus
afforded in the heat of summer and in
the freedom from continual freezing of

this practical value; it can be made to

for an octagonal house with a dish

which vines may be trailed. The
