After Rabbits and Partrldges

Every Delaware railroad train, south
bound, that pulled out of Wilmington
to-day had its smoking car loaded with
gunners and their dogs on their way to
sequestered hunting grounds there to
usher in the November morn tomorrow
when the Delaware laws permit the
hunting and shooting Of rabbits and
partridges The law against their capture
expires at midnight, or with the.month
OF October and they can then be hunted
down at will and brought home by the
successful lovers of this fine sport to
grace many well filed tables.
This mornings downpour Of rain did
not at all retard the gunners nor their
dogs All seemed eager to get down In
the sands OF Sussex or around Bohemia
Manor to test their fowling. pieces. The
long lima of.aportsmen who left to day,
however, will be little when compared to
the gunners who will go down the state
to morrow, the hrst day of the gunner's
festival season.

ExercIses Attending the Annual Conven-
 ton Being Held Here.
 The annual convention of the women's Christian Temperance Union of Connec- ticut, which is now being held in the First Methodist church. is attracting much at tention among Waterbury people and has set many to thinking if the temperance cause in Waterbury could not be materi- ally assisted if women generally would come together and unite into one solid organization for temperance work alone. About 275 delegates are present represent ing 130 unions all over the state. When the convention got down to business it was shown that in this as in all other organiza- tions some people try to trample on the constitution and bylaws of the union. The corresponding secretary reported that there were six unions not entitled to take part in the convention. still they had dele gates present. Speaking on this unfortu- nate matter Mrs Forbes said l: "Our sacred constitution has been broken, sis ters. and yet the executive committee do not feel very badly towards our delinquent sisters" The delegates were admitted.
 In the evening the church was crowded to the doors. The scriptural lesson was read by the Rev. R. A. Nichols and the Rev. Dr. Davenport delivered the prayer. The address of welc )me was given by the Rev. Gardener Eldridge. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Mrs. Mary Hunt. on the temperance cause.

How to Make JayeiIe Water.

To make javelle water put pounds of bicarbonate of soda and quarts of hot water into a large porcelain lined saucepan. Stir frequently with wooden stick until the soda is dissolved; then add a pound of chloride of lime and stir occasionally until nearly all the solids are dissolved. Let the liquid cool in the kettle; then strain the clear part through a piece of cheesecloth into wide mouthed bottles. Put in the stop pers and set away for use. The part that is not clear can be put into separate bottles and used for cleaning white floors and tables; also for cleaning the sink
 In making this preparation be careful not to spatter it on your clothing or the paint. Half pint of this water can be put into tub with about dozen pails of warm suds and the soiled white clothes be soaked in them. Much of the dirt can be removed by this method.
