Household Rrcvities.

For some cooks to learn-not you, of course: Less grease in the pan. moro grace in the heart.
 Grape fruit or shaddocks arc. best served in tho most simple way. Cut them in two across the carpels and serve a half on each plate.
 Gum arabic and gum tragacanth in equal parts. dissolved in hot water, make the best and most convenient mu- cilage to keep in the house.
 To soften kid boots melt equal parts of tallow and olive oil Apply now and then with flannel. The creaking of soles of boots and shoes may be cured by the application of linseed oil.
 If your furniture is dull and needs its luster restored, try polish made from two parts of raw linseed oil and one of turpentine. Mix thoroughly by shaking, apply a thin coat with a flannel cloth and rub thoroughly and hriskly with 8 dry cloth.
 If you don't believe oyster or clam shells put against the bricks of fur mace or range are a remedy for clinkers, just try them once, and you will be con- vinoed of the truth of the oft repeated statement

PRACTICALLY DECIDED.


 A Home to be Established in Connection With the Immaculate Conception Parish.
 The Immaculate Conception parish will undoubtedly have included in it's church property an orphanage and nursery. This was practically decided at a meeting of sixteen representative Catholic male members of the parish in the parish rec tory last night. Vicar-General Mulcahy was interview ed hy a DEMOCRAT reporter this afternoon. He said it was the wish of the committee, expressed last night. that such project should be discussed. He intended to speak of tito the congrega- tion next Sunday. The intended building will be erected on the church lot south of the convent It will be home for friendless boys and girls. for the orphans of the parish and a day nursery. There is nothing decided as yet, but it will be left for the parishoners to decide. The sixteen present last night all expressed confidence in the project and were willing to devote their time this year to the erection of such home rather than the chapel at the north end. unless both pro. | iects could be carried out, Bishop Tier ney has already given the work his san' ction and it Is a matter which Vicar Gen eral Mulcahy himself has considered favor ably for two years.

Ciothesline Thieves and Migrants Come
 to Grief.
 The midnight clothesline thieves have been landed and they will sojourn away from Waterbury for some months. About half past twelve this morning Officer Me- Carthy was on his beat and when near Spencer & Pierpont's store he saw some clothes lines, in the rear of the building, 354 East Main street. being drawn in toward the building. He ran around to the rear and caught George Brady. we'll known in the policecourt. On the ground beside Brady was quantity of clothing taken from the line. Brady's companions escaped. Brady told Ithe officer that he would rather be pinched now than in the summer. This morning he denied steal ing or intending to steal. He also denied being a vagrant, with which he was charged. Brady has been up several times before and for vagrancy, too. Judge Root gave him $7 and costs and thirty days in jail for theft and 240 days for va- grancy. He took an appeal on the latter and Judge Root said he would be inclined to make the sentence lighter if he could furnish the S200 bond
 After Brady's arrest Mrs Frank N. Palmer, who owned the clothes, was awakened and discovered that sheets, tablecloths, underwear, etc, were missing from her line. In all about $17 worth was taken. About o'clock this morning Officer Byrnes while on School street saw two men. one carrying a bag on his shoulder. hurrying along the street. He gave chase and captured the we'll known Michael O'Donnell. The other fellow. who was the notorious Thomas Smith. dropped the bag and made of. O'Donnell and the bag were taken to the station. where it was discovered that the bag con- tained a large quantity of clothing, under wear, etc Smith was arrested later at his home. Both were charged with theft and yagraney. Judge Root said these mid plight sneak thieves ought to be punished pretty severely. He fined ODonnell $1 and costs and six months in jail for theft and thirty days for vagrancy. Smith was given $1 and costs and six months in jail for theft and sixty days for vagrancy.

Seven Ysars ola Child Almost Burned
 to Death.
 What came near being fatal burning accident occurred last night in simons- vile. Georgiana Peltier, aged saven years, lives with her father and mother on the second floor of the house. No 6 Middle street. About half past nine last night she was alone in the house, her parents having gone out to visit a neighbor. Philip Savard, who lives on the first floor of the house, heard the child's screams csming from the room above and rushed into the hallway in time to see the little Peltier girl come rushing down the stars, her clothes all ablaze. He had presence of mind enough to seize her and wrap an overcoat around her and extinguished the flames. Dr Lafontaine was called and found that the little girl was badly in- jured. Her arms, hands. body and face were terribly burned. Savard's thought fulness, he said. saved her life. The in- juries will not necessarily prove fatal. The little girl said she was playing in front of the stove when her dress caught fire

A CARD FROM D, PRATT,

There have been some remarks made upon the extrayagant conducting of the town farm by Messrs Moore and German, during their term of office, that is not borne out by the facts. It is because they are democrats. Politics enter into every thing in this town. The town farm was left as legacy to the present incumbents by their predecessors in office, the republi- cans. Its existence may be an evil, but it has to be dealt with, although not of their creating and they manfully shoulder the burden. We will now see if the figures shown are extrayARant, and careless dis posal of the funds h it's conduct, as the "Growlsr" has published, or otherwise. Total expenditurss $6. .460. A; received for sundries. $So9. .6s; crushed stone. $1, TAO; old bills sunday account, $14S 30: new stone crushsr. $797.23; foundation and fixing. etc. $1s5.12; additions to buildings. $212 30; part of 0. H. Lewis account, SS42: total. $4. 4.63; net expenditure. @, 175 S1. This statement comes out in favor of Msssrs Moore and German. as compared with their predecessors of 1892 3. If the expenditure upon the town farm is large. the greater part comes back to the storekeepers for supplies among the two elements. repubhcanS and democrats. We know it is the opinion among some that there can come no good out of the democratic element, and also there are some that look down upon them because they do not carry such heavy purses as our republican friends, the writer does not depreciate the value of big purse. rightly used it is a great factor for good. as one noble citizen of Naugatuck has exempli- fed. All honor to him. But we do not concsde that money carries with it the best administrative town ability. Per hsps the "Growler's" complaint is not in the money spent, but against the men who speEt it. The town could not have had two more trusty and honest men at it's head than Messrs Moore and German. and the cost per head of inmates. with the janitor, is very small.
