The ways of Chicago's fiamboyant may

The ways of Chicago's famboyant may. or are past finding out. Now he is clamor. ing in his newspaper for the punishment of the Worlds Fair directors. He wants to see the majesty of the law asserted al their expense. Their uLc ncerned disre. gard of Judge Stein's order about keeping the gates open on Sunday reminds Mr. Carter Harrison of the Haymarket anarch ists. The circumstance that they are not poor wage earners, but merchants, law yers, men of affairs and millionaires, is in his eyes, an aggravation of their of fense. "If this fragrant act shall go un challenged and unpunished, he says, Gre spect for the law will have suffered de- cided impairment"

> An agricultural writer says that some 12 years ago he noticed his bull was free from lice when the rest of his cattle were not. Thinking the matter over, he came to the conclusion that the bulls habit of throwing dirt over himself must have something to do with his freedom from lice. So he tried dry eal tn on the rest of his cattle with good results.
 ''Since then have used dry earth and have frequently put it on cattle having lice and have found it perfectly efficacious both as preventative and a cure. If in winter think it needed and cannot get ii otherwise, Lgo into my cellar and get a few quarts. There is no danger of using too much. Dry it on the stove, ther sprinkle it over the back from head tc tail, and, working in and through the hair, it soon destroys all lice. I believe the earth is just as efficacious, less dan gerous and less expensive than tobacco ol any of the acids recommended"

bottles and other things shaped in imita- ton of cut glass. T then watched some men who were cutting and polishing glass But what interested me most in this build ing was the spinning and weaving of glass. A man would take 2 piece of glass, hold it in flame until intensely hot, draw a point out through the flame, attach H to a revolving wheel about six feet in diam eter and wind upon the wheel continu- ons fine thread of glass. This glass thread seemed to be almost as pliable as though 1t were made of flax. Adjoining were two young women at a loom weaving fabric of this thread. When completed this glass cloth has a beautiful luster like satin and the attendants assured me that 1t would stand good deal of hard usage before breaking. The Princess Eulalia, 30 was told, is to have dress made of glass that was spun and woven in this factory. could have spent the day here with pleasure, but hunger began to gnaw me.
 ''I had noticed little sign over the en- trance way to structure of primitive architecture which assured the public that a farmers dinner could be had within. l bought check at the door for 50 cents and took seat at plain table, and the wait ress gladdened my weary heart when she placed before me an abundant supply ol baked beans, brown bread, doughnuts, cheese and coffee, such as had formed part of my diet twice 8 week for many years just beyond the shadow of Fanueil Hall. Having thus refreshed my inner man, walked out toward the other end of the Plaisance, where was Iured into build ing by what in the Chinese music is called music. I looked over & variety of Chi. nese wares, had @ good view of paper dragon that had 8 length of about 12t feet, went up to the second story, where was led into the mysterious presence o1 the beings that inhabit the Chinese Joss house.
 ''Next watched the Chinese play fol nearly two hours, and saw practically the same thing acted over and over again The scene was evidently conflict betweer different claimants for the throne. One claimant after another would come on tt the stage, sit on the throne, give few imperious commands, then retire around the corner, when the next claimant would make his appearance. Three coy Chinese maidens added little variety to the scene On two or three occasions, and at ire quent intervals, most diabolical-Iookine being with immense horns took part II the play.
 "Such was my first day. l had no seen thing directly connected with th' expedition, yet probably in no day of my life shall I again see so many people iron all parts of the world, and so many inter esting and instructive objects, as saw. or this one day.

A single firm of brokers in New York reports that it has recently made 8000 purchases of good dividend paying stocks for people who have small sums to invest. A better time to "salt down" a little mon- ey has not occurred for years. For long time it has been impossible to buy good stocks or bonds that would pay over 1 per cent. Now the same may be bought at prices which will yield from to $ pel cent. The bottom is not going to drol out of good properties.

HARTFORD is claiming a population of over 6O,OOO: based on the showing of the last directory. The claim is probably we'll founded. Hartford's gain between 1880 and 1890 was mostly made in the last years of the decade, and the boom was just we'll under way when the 1890 census was taken, and has continued since with increased momentum. A wide awake board of trade has been constantly on the alert to secure new industries and make the city busy one, as well as attractive as place of residence.

r SIAM has accepted Frances ultimatum in full, and there will be no war. Siam could not withstand France alone, and there were no signs that she could get any sone's aid, The European powers are too jealous and too fearful of each other to allow themselves to get involved in any body else's quarrels. But henceforth France will get little sympathy through having lost Alsace and Lorraine by the same method she now uses to snatch prov inces from Siam.

THE panic-y feeling that disturbs banks Tout west" is not unknown in New En- gland. New Haven has had a mild taste of it in brief run upon her savings banks. It is altogether probable that the deposit accounts of most New England savings banks will be reduced if 8 long period of business depression comes to us, but it will be because the money is needed for support by the poorer class of depositors rather than from distrust of the banks. The savings banks arc much hedged about by law, and there is no safer place for money than ill their vaults and in in- vestments made by them in conformity to law. It is easier to get money out from a savings bank than to get it into another place as safe.

"say, if you've got your dishes done
 wish you'd just look here; Do they print this sort of stuff for fun? Or is it's meanln' clear = To ne-grained folks, say, such as you And the parson and his wife?' It may be plain tej just few, But can't to save my life, Find the mystery beyond the stars
 This poet tells about, As he climbs the pearl and crimson bars The night winds put to route, And scales the pinnacles of gold
 That flank the western sky To view the towers of heaven afame,' Or, to see a gray day 'diep" If they mean sun-down, why, good land That's an easy thing to say And then, they might tell what took place About that time O day. "Now I like poetry first-class,
 And never skip line, But joy little scrap of verse
 As an old time nurse does wine; But I like drop of sense mixed in,
 And want to see the point The rhymester's quill is driving at
 'Thout twistin' out of joint, Eighty years Eve seen the nights growdark
 
 Without seein' them clouds of darkness Seize with icy clutch the hill.' ':Now such a rigmarole of stuff
 Don't mean the fust real thing; ;'' It just goes jingaling along As August crickets sing. I always know what Shakespeare means, And I love to read the Psalms, I can follow Willie Carlton, too,
 About the hills and farms And, wife, when you read Whittier Pm filled with sweet surprise But translucent, lambent moonshine Is too much for my old eyes. "Now wish you'd write the editor That Pm laid on the shelf If my fingers, wife, were not all thumbs I'd write it out myself Say | can't do nothing much but read, And his papers all the world Toa plain shut-in old soldier
 Whose flag of life is furled, t.. And when he puts in poetry, Please won't he take the time To find some that means somethin' And ain't just string of rhyme" "Maple Corner" Wilmington, Conn. zig
