A Few Matters of Minor Interest Picked
Up About the Streets.
heard man say few days ago that
there would be fire escapes placed on the
Opera House before April l, or he would
know the reason why. l shafwait anxious
ly for lucid Interpretation of the reason.
Someone was saying that aiadies' club has
been organized In this village. Have you
heard anything about it? s5Ao4
i saw man with straw hat on shoveling
snow last Friday; but ''thats his business,
not your business" #a Es
The severest blow have heard of for a
long time was that essayed by the trombone
player at "Uncle Toms Cabin" the other
night.
But remember that those improvements
about the Opera House should be made, and
don't neglect to instruct the selectmen to at
tend to them.
I hear that an amateur dramatic company
is to be organized here to go on the road and
visit some of the surrounding towns immedi-
ately after Lent.
l have heard lots of other things; but as
you shouldn't believe anything you hear and
not more than half that you see, Pll confine
myself to facts in future.
l saw clothing drummer yesterday who
figured that we would get a suit of all wool
clothes 60 cents cheaper if the Wilson bill be-
comes a law. Will someone tell how much
the laborer will lose to save that 60 cents!
A prominent clothing dealer told me few
days ago that the hard times bugaboo in this
town was all fake; and that his business
has been about the same as in previous years.
l think he was about right. Nearly ali our
citizens have had regular employment, and
there has been no occasion for bad times
here.
/ saw two dogs get severely bitten by a
larger dog one day recently, and differing
from the usual custom, sided with the big
dog. The two which were bitten have be-
come public nuisances by pitching onto every
dog that comes near them, and this case was
no exception. After enduring annoyance
for several minutes, the big dog took hand
| in the fight and came out with colors flying.

ROTTED orr By BEER.

This IS not il temperance treatise but
it has bit Of fact in it that the total
abstainer may show 20 the beer drin ker
whenever occasion offers, says the New
York WaH and E,1prcss.
The attention of the New York hos
pital surgeons has been called to the
big number Of bart"nders that have
lost several fingers Of both hands With
in the past few years.
The first case was that of an en-
ploye Of Il Bowery concert hall. Three
of the fingers Of his right hand and
two Of his left were rotted away when
he called at Bellevue one day and beg
ged the doctors to explain the reason.
He said that his duty was to draw beer
for the thousands who visited the gar
den nightly.
The man was in peri Ct health Their
wise, and it took the doctors quite a
time to arrive at any conclusion. But
they did finally, and it nca: " took the
beerman's breath away when they did.
'Your fingers have been rotted off,
they said, 'by the beer which you have
handled.
Other cases Of similar nature came
rapidly after this one, and to day the
physicians es innate that there is an
army Of employees Of saloons whose
fingers are being ruined by the same
cause. The acid and rcein in til beer
are said to be responsible.
The head bartender of a well known
downtown saloon SAYS lie knows a
number Of eases where beer drawers
have, in addition to losing several
fingers of both hands. lost rhe use Of
both members.
Beer will rot iron, bell ve,' he
added know, and every bartender
knows, that it is impossible to keep a
good pair CT shoes behind the bar.

DON'T S FOR HENB tNDS.

less your wife has the stme privilege
at your place of wor h or business.
Don't require an it.mixed report of
every dollar placed in her hands, even
should she make an unwise expendi-
ture. Consider oN many times you
have gwen her tie example.
Don't allow any family disagreement
or differences Of opinion to crop out
before children or servants. Let all
such things be reserved for. private
discussions with mutual confidence and
kindness.
Don't use ali your kindness and
gallantry away from home, and let the
unpleasantness manifest Itself in the
family circle. Try the her cur. e
for a tlme, and Sc how tina, will
work.
Don't listen ID the man vino begins
to disparage his wife, AMI parade her
real or fancied shortcomings to tn
world Advise INN TO settle those
things in the privacy of his own
home.
Don't make it nee 'ssary for any
person to give YOU like advice.
Don ply a dollar fora lunch down
town, and half as much more for cigars
while you think up plans for greater
economy in the family grocery bill.
Don't forget that members of the
family have as good RICH: to Il plea

DO fo:, kindly word Ior the

D4RKENED .SLEEPING ROOMS.

1t is Gained by some physicians that
the brain can not rest perfectly unless
all light Is excluded from the sleeping
room, and whether in going to bed at
night or simply lying down for half
hours rest in the middle OF thu day,
this pre- caution should be taken. Where
house has an eastern or southern ex-
posture the rooms Will be filed with
light long before it is tlale to get up,
and unless some means be taken to
prevent, the morning rest wi | be more
or less broken. Especially is this true
in the case of little chi dren, and it is
well to accustom them from the first
to sleep in the dark.
In the absence Of outside blinds
there is better way to secure this
pleasant twilight so conducive to rest
than BY the use of inside shades made
of the darkest green holland, and they
have great advantage over either in
side or outside blinds IN that they are
so easily adjusted
They supplement but they 90 not

IA CES AND CALLINGS.

l. appears probable that the tailor's
distinctive type of face may have been
partially rea'ed by his habit of work
in his jaws coucomitantly with his
shears Let any one wa'ch Il person
cutting IA tough material with scissors,
and he will see that the lower part of
the face ways in rhythmic and spon-
tan Gus unison with the b AIDES. Shep
herds aud farm laborers who join sheep
steering gangs &c ttlnly acquire Il
different expression while engaged in
this kind of work.
The cast Of coun tenanc. by which
one so easily recogniz IS "a groom is
partially explicabIe from the fac: that
the muscles which cos, the jaw and
and compress the lips are always called
into pay when we are asserting our
viii over that of horse. Nearly all
jockeys and o her horsy men have a
peculiar set of the mou h and chin,
but | have been unable to dist n.uish
any specia; charact 'ristic about til eye
or upper part OF the face.
1t is instructive to conplra the
yisage Of the ruler of horses with that
of the ruler of mer. The horseman'
face shows command in the mou h,
the drill sergeant's IN the mouth and
the eye. The last in undoubtedly tn.
most effective instrument in eXac,ing
obedience from our own species. Here
we get hint of the cause Of that want
of dignity, has elem mt Of coarseness
which is discernible in the counte-
names of some men and women who
have much to d. with horses. The
higher and noble method of expressing
authority is outweighed by the lower
and more animal one.

Ina late issue Of this paper appeared

positively asserts that the end Of the
