The Heavy End of a Match.

"Mary" said Farmer Flint at the break
fast table as he asked for a second cup OF
coffee, I've made discovery"
well Cyrus, you're about the last one
I'd expect of such a thing what is it?'
81 have found that the heavy end of a
match is its light end" responded Cyrus
with grin that would have adorned a
skull.
Mary looked disguised, but with an air
of riumph quickly retorted, 1--WE got a
discovery too, Cyrus. 1t was made by
Dr. r. V. Pierce, and is called a Golden
Medical Discovery 1t drives away
blotches and pimples, purifies the blood,
tones up the system and makes one feel
biand-new. Why, it cured Cousin Ben
who had Consumption and was almost
reduced to skeleton. Before his wife
began to use it she was pale, sickly
thing, but look at her: she's rosy checked
and healthy, and weighs 1865 pounds.
That, Cyrus is discovery that's worth
mentioning"

A Kings Retort.

King Victor Emmanuel used often to
tire before the termination Of a days
sport, and mules and horses being out of
the question in the precipitous mountain
paths no would mount on the back of his
chief huntsman, an Alpine Hercules,
named Borretta. One day Borretta having
the king on his back, was crossing a tor
rent. The king having raised his foot to
avoid getting his gaiter wet, the sudden
movement almost capsized Borretta I'm
mindful for moment of the rank of his
burden, he growled out, "Tente au, bour-
&c" Hold steady, you jackass'D. With
put manifesting the least irritation or sur
prise, the king replied, You apparently
ignore, friend BorrettA, that the jackass Is
The one who carries the load" And moth

PALE, THIN AND EVACUATED
PEOPLE,

The country is full of them. They
do not know what it is to feel well
like other folks. Medicines of all
kinds have been tried without good
results. Cod liver oil and the
preparations of malt have all failed.
What is the reason? These ema-
ciated people cannot digest starchy
foods. The fat of the body is pro-
duced with bread, potatoes and
other starchy food. If they will
eat food that is artifcially digested,
they will grow fat, strong, plump
and robust. They will commence
gaining flesh at once. The Flesh
Forming Food is called Paskola.
You can buy it at any drug store.

Food Co., 80 Reade St., New York,

Stamford.

The grammar school exercises in the
own hall on Monday evening of last
week, were great success in every way.
The hall was filed necessitating the
bringing in of chairs into the aisles.
Aud the audience expressed tt nselves
as highly entertained. The scholars
marched from the school rooms up into
the hall about S o'clock occupying the
front seats. The exercises were opened
by prayer by Rev. John Landry. The
speaking was "Old Ironsides'' by Geo.
.Jepson; Glider Lambs Donation" by
Miss Alice Morrissey; Making the Most
of Yourself" by Herman Fuller; 1.-THE
Negro Funeral" by Miss Lucy Kemp;
Whispering Bill" by Miss Jessie Water
man; "How They Built the Church." by
Charles D. Kemp; "The Drummer Boys
Burial" by Miss Nellie Seegar; "The
Curfew must not Rug Tonight" by
Miss Dora Bratton; 1.-THE Squirrels" by
Clarence Goodrich. After the first four
had spoken, the smaller children, seven
girls and six boys, rendered cantata
entitled thanksgiving Exercises"
The rendering of this was so fine that,
had they been competing for prize they
would have taken first. At the close of
Ihe speaking two stanzas of MY Coun-
try was sung by the school. The refer
ees chosen to award the prizes were Hon.
j. o. Sanford, j. R. Houghton and Mrs.
A. W. Willmarth. While they were con-
consulting, remarks were made by, Rev.
Mr.. Powell, Selectman Il. w. Kemp and
Rev. John Landry, who is superintend-
emit of schools in Stamford. All of them
emphasized the amount of work done by
eur children, and the broad, thorough
knowledge they are getting, the direct
results of their teachers especially Miss
TomlinsOn of the grammar school. By
the suggestion of the superintendent the
parents and friends were given an oppOr-
tllnity to express their thanks to Miss
Tomlnson for bringing us together to
enjoy such pleasant evening. To which
Miss Tomlinson responded in few hap
Py words. Ex-senator j. O. Sanford
said, in presenting the prizes, that the
referees had found it very difficult to de-
eide to whom the prizes should be given,
ewing to the excellence Of all OF the
speaking, and while prizes could be Civ
to only four, those not getting a prize
were equally entitled to honorable men
Non. The prizes were given First lady's,
Mss Lucy Kemp; second ladys, Miss
Nellie Seegar; first boys, Herman G.
Fuller; second boys, Clarence Goodrich.
After the benediction by Rev. Mr.. Powell
the children marched from the hall and
thus closed one of the pleasantest gather
ings of the winter. Too much credit
cannot be given to the teacher and
scholars for their hard work in decor
ating the hall and giving us their first
entertainment and we want more in the
future. While the admission was only
ten cents, more than eight dollars was
taken at the door, most of which will be
used to buy books of reference to belong
to the school.

Not to Be Mentioned.

One day the children were having an
object lesson on the blue heron. The
seacher called attention to its small tail,
'aying, 1.-THE bird has no tail to speak Of ="
The next day she asked the scholars to
write description of the bird, and a little
derman girl wound up by saying, 1.-The
Glue heron has tail, but it must not be
talked about. "-Babyhood.

Are You In Il?

MIR. Chas B. Spahr of Columbia University. has
recently examined the records of the Surrogates
of thirtv-five counties in the State of New York
covering the last three months of 1898 and includ-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul are remarka
BILE as showing how few peOpl' leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left.
Out of 1000 persons over twenty-five years Of
age dying during the quarter only
1856 left estates equal to exceeding 5000
1866 " averaging 1899
6649 I" valued al 5000
Think oft! Less than per cent were worth
$4,000, end less than % per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
81 out of every 10000 leaves an estate of So 900
or not depends upon whether they have life i'm
surance for that amount or not.
