Tire pssIensse Woman.

It is true that We read a good deal about ''the designingwoman" in novels written by ladies. It gives them pleas ure to describe these dexterous and willy creatures doing such mischief among the other sex. Mothers, too, believe that their pure and innocent sons are always in danger from these unprincipled young persons. And yet the fact is that at P none of them can hold n candle for evil intention to any ordinary youth of 17.
 The hypocrisy with which for their own ends men affect to fall in with the fe- male view of filtration and ''the design ing woman'' is contemptible. Even the most impudent of them seldom venture to adopt it among themselves. The tongue in their cheek is too obvious =

 NAUGArUcK. Nov 17.-Complaint has been made to the health committee of the dangerous condition of the sidewalk, also of the obstruction of the same Tn front of Thomas Neavy's building on Maple street between the railroad track and Church street. The stairs complained of have been located on the highway for a number of years, while the walk is badly cut up put ting down curb. which apparently Is not progressing By vote of the board of burgesses some tune since 1t was arranged for a six foot walk outside of platform at corner building, but the layout of walk and grade finally adopted, brought the curb stone within four feet and nearly one foot below the old grade. Mir Weary has had the curb set for some distance but Jerry Dunn has stopped work on same. leaving the walk in a dangerous condition, hence the complaint, under section 57 of the char ter, empowering the health committee to move any Instructions which shall discom- mode or endaDger travel.
 The question of the town or borough providing some suitable place where a person with a contagious disease may be taken if necessary. is one of much concern at present to the town and borough health officers. The town appropriated $l .5OO for the purpose. still no provision has been made by the selectmen. As there Is no place at the town farm that can be used, the health officers have no alterna. tive but to quarantine the patient wher- ever he may be. A case of smallpox or scarlet fever in tramps' room of town hall would not add much to the receipts of a show in the opera house.

A good many people wonder where all the umbrella men come from when a shower occurs. This morning before the rain commenced there was not one in sight and in less than five minutes after it started there were one or two in every street in the center. What those men do and where they keep themselves during the fine weather are questions which no one seems to know anything about. The rain brings them out like mushrooms in n pasture lot, and when it ceases they dis appear as quickly and as mysteriously as they came.
