This sweet little hamlet is often no- ticed in THE BEE. It is just the place for 1.-two young men" to spend the sum- mer! Martin F. Tupper said in his best poetry, that ssa babe in the house is a we'll spring of pleasure" We'll, so is a fine piano, especially when the little miss is growing inspired by it's sweet re- sponses to the touch, and when some mas ter hand renders "The Old Oaken Buck et," as Miss Taylor can. We greatly en- loved the musicale at Charles Botsford's, last Saturday night. Mrs Lemuel Os- born and son from "Pepper street, were there-glad they were! A voice of such wonderful compass is seldom met with. Her son is fast becoming promi- nent in musical circles. His rendering of ''Sweet Marie" was inspiring to Ian old man." The "Sweet Maries" of past days were trotted across the stage. His lowest notes went "down to the bottom of the sea" where mermaids dwells but un- like "McGinty" they rose again. Cakes and bananas were served and everyone felt this is a good place to go to. The two tall callas are still blooming. .-[G W R.

STEEL RANGES.

If parties desiring to purchase a first class steel range will inquire of K. J. Hall, Sandy Hook, Ct., about the Acorn steel range, they will be surprised to find that they can buy steel range for much less money than ever before offer d. The Acorn steel range is first class m every respect. Excellent baking and cooking qualities. Every range wal ranted. Our price for the 20 inch oven, elevated oven and nickel reservoir com plete is $55. Don't pay extravagant prices for goods when you can buy a better article for less money. Don't be deceived by any breakage test or malle- able covers which will not break when cold but warp when heated. Try them with ordinary fire use for 30 days before signing note. Where will your note be placed after you have signed it Where will your visiting salesman be when you want a stove repaired that is made hundreds of miles away? Is not our guarantee better than one made by a stranger whom you can not find when wanted? The above is worth your con, sideration and if you wish to see first class steel range we will be glad to show samples now on our floor at Sandy Hook TIE, J. Hall.

HOW AMERICA ENLIGHTENs AFRICA.

One way in which America pours light into Africa is by sending missionaries and rum on the same steamer. In the year ending June 30, 1891, Boston, our modern Athens, shipped 1925, ,226 gal Ions of the dark liquor for the enlighten- ment of the Dark Continent. May it not be better thing to send the American plough? The first plough was introduced among the Kaffirs of South Africa by William Shaw. The African chief de- clared that the plough was better than 10 wives. This remark is explained by the fact that formerly Kaffir women were the slaves of their husbands and worked in the fields with pick and hoe. An inter esting service, in which large map will be used, on manners and customs in this strange land, will be held at the Copgre- gational church, Sunday evening, May 26, at 7.30 o'clock. "Go ye into all the world.' If we cannot ourselves go, we can hear how the work goes on.

THE RESULT OF THE FROST.

THE RESULT OF THE FROST.
 The wide-awake people who were
 boosting so much of early corn, potatoes and garden vegetables, last week, are not nearly as demonstrative as they were; in fact they feel now they are left out by the cold, as their neighboTs' vegetables will be up about as soon as they ought to be, while they can splant again. The damage to fruit of all kinds in low situ- ations promises to be serious. On many apple trees by 10 o'clock on Tuesday the blossoms had turned as yellow as though lying on the ground for several days. Strawberries seem ruined. H0Y Gluch peaches, cherries and pears are damaged remains to be seen. Grape vines on low ground lose their new growth, which means the blossom. Many had tomatoes and choice flowers out, all to be killed. It is seldom so much damage is done by frost. As the thermometer stood at 49 degrees at snndoWn it was unexpected, so not much covering was done.
 The party at the home of Mrs Weld, last Friday night, was all that could be desired. Although the thermometer was in the eighties. the comfort of the guests was not in any way lessened, as the lawn was filled with the dancers in the inter- vals between the sets. Ice cream and ice cold lemonade kept the inner man com fortable and all pronounce It the most en- joyable dance of the season.

Last week Friday the thermometer re gistered 96. This week Tuesday morn ing the record was 36 degrees. Such s change is too much for almost anything to stand.

ADDRESS OF REV 0. H. SMITH AT PLY-
 MOUTH.
 The town of Plymouth, in the Nauga- tuck valley, is celebrating it's centennial. The opening service in the celebration was held on Tuesday night in the Con- address of welcome being made by Rev Charles H. Smith of Plymouth. The Courant of Hartford says the address was most earnest and impressive. MT Smith said in part: MT Chairman, fellow citi- zens and returning wanderers from every memories to every loyal son is the re- membrance of the annual New England home gathering. The great oven was lighted, the choicest dainties were pre- pared and, ,on the glad Thanksgiving day. Ia the doorway stood the mother, with silvered brow, ,and welcomed her children to the old home. So tonight you come here like children returning to the fold. 1 Plymouth has on her brow the silver of centuries and it has been given me to well come you. I bid you welcome to this edifice a church organization antedatip g the history of the town. it being not 100 years old, but 153 years old. You will look on the threshold and on the old ap. pie tree where apples such as you never ate since are found. We welcome the grandmother Waterbury, of the old town, the shimmer of whose product is found throughout the world. We wei come the mother [Watertown1 and we extend our hearty welcome to .our baby [Thomastonl, ], the lusty and strong in fant which we hope will grow to be as good as the mother town, but we feal that that cannot be. We welcome you even to the sacred ground where lie tn. bones of those, than whom no purer more loyal ever lived.

CHEAP GOODS!
 VS., CHEAP PRICES!

The above theme leads naturally up to ths question of quality as viewed from the dealers standpoint. We are thoroughly in earnest in our ins;s'ance on the importance of offering Only Re- liable Go ods It is our belief that price is low enough to redeem an unserviceable or shoddy ar ticle from the nalediction which goes with it. Right here is where some furniture dealers make their mistake, in handling goods known to be of inferior quality simply because they can buy them little cheaper than the better grade, and ss these dealers argue, will sell just as well. Maybe they will sell just as we'll the first time, but if when taken home they do not give the ser- vice expected those goods will be constant stand ing advertisements against sellers.
