 How a Woman Taxpayer Feels About Some
 Aggravatlng Things.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I wish to thank you in behalf of all the women in New Haven for your ar ticle on Dust" which appeared in your paper a few days ago. We who are obliged to wear skirts suffer terribly from the dust and dirt in our streets. Even moderately short skirt is ruined by our dirty dusty pavements and as taxpayer, I would humbly ask why we are obliged to pay taxes and also pay individually for having our streets kept clean and watered. New Haven is, I think, the dfrtiest city of it's size and pretentions in the Union. would also like to ask why when the valuable franchises were given out to the various city railroads which run to the Green, and not to the depot or anywhere one wants to go, without a change and fifteen minutes wait in the summer heat or winter cold, fair or stormy weather on the sidewalk! Why I ask, was 1t not agreed that for the franchbse the company should keep the streets over which it ran It's tracks clean and watered? Because our city fathers, who give out the franchises, are fools and short-sighted, and not until women are represented in the street cleaning and other depart ments will we have clean streets watered in March and street cars which will take you for one fare to the depot without dumping you at the Green. A little progress has been made for three years I had to take the Whitney avenue change to Chapel street and again at the bridge to get to the lower Green. What we need is that the roads should be all under one and all run to the depot as for the dirt question, the whole city should be watered at public ex- pense and they should begin in March which is the dirtiest and windiest month in the year.

of national expenditures. He admitted that this was not easy, but insisted that taxation had reached it's utmost limit and that no other course was pos sible, although the minister of finance would have to become the most un- popular man in France Admitting that the army and navy could not be cut down, he suggested retrenchment in CO., lonial expenditures, for the colonies, he said, could not cost 7O,OOO,O ,OOOf or SO,OOO,- 00Of. indefinitely, and he advocated pre- cautions against increased outlay on education. pensions and labor super annuatlon. M. Ribot, in reply, pointed out that the interest on the national debt absorbed 1865 ,OOO, ,OOOf and the army and navy 910,0O0, ,00Of., leaving only 570,- OCO, ,OOOf. for other purposes. He ques- tioned the possibility of making great reductions on this sum, but admitted that foreign security and internal pros perity required the great resources of the country to be treated prudently and economically.

nnAn RRAIN ACrToN.

An interesting case of dual brain ac- tion has been noticed in England, The patient varied much in his mental con-
 lition; in one state he was ubject to
 hronic mania spoke English, was fairly intelligent, and was right-handed; In another state he was subject to demen- tia, was almost unintelligible, but what could be understood was Welsh, and he was then left-handed. In his English intervals he remembered clearly what had happened in previous English per- iods, but his memory was a blank to what occurred during the Welsh stages. He preferred to write with his right hand, and then wrote from left to right. but if asked to do so would write with his left hand and then the writing was from right to left. MT. Bruce, who ob- served the case, infers from it that the cerebral hemispheres are capable of ni- dividual mental action, that the one mentally active at any time can control the motor functions, and that the pa tient lives two separate existences dur ing the two stages through which he passes, the mental impressions in each existence being recorded in one cerebral hemisphere only.
 Does this case furnish a hint toward the explanation of some things that have taken place in Connecticut lately? Is 1t possible that dual brain action is what is the matter with certain wit nesses? Are some of the members of the legislature afflicted with dual brain action? And is that what isl the matter with some of our esteemed contempo- raries whose opinions appear to change with astonishing frequency and sud denness?

when it comes to gowning the wee sum mer girls more simple fabrics are in better taste. For the dainty dress sketched herewith dotted muslin is a suitable fabric. It's little skirt is gath cred to the band and above it there Is a blouse waist with full shirred back and front. It fastens invisibly in front and Is ornamented by bretelles with scal1oped edge and by plain rufile around the neck. The sleeves are short, full puffs and the draped belt, fastening with dainty rosette, may be white sat in or white batiste. An effort is being made to re-introduce white stockings for short-skirt girls, such as this one, but it makes slow headway, or footway is perhaps better.
 Duck will be worn more than ever this summer by maids who are a dozen years older, and it Is shown as stiff as a board and so heavy that tailors will have to handle 1t. Indeed the tailor cut will monopolize 1t in whit, at least. Skirts will stand out immensely, and are in many cases to be ankle length. This is wise provision, for a duck skirt of ordinary length olses it's fresh ness in very short time.

GOOD ROADS

The hearings which have been had at Hartford have shown that at last there is real interest in the movement for better roads in this State. It has been a long time coming, but it Is here and here to stay. The committee which has the matter in charge Is to report soon. It has so many plans be- fore it that it will have some difficulty in deciding what to do, but it is to be hoped that it will give the State a chance to make a start toward the improvement of roads in a systematic way. There need be and should be no extravagance. One commissioner of the right kind is enough. He should be kept in office long enough to know what the roads need and long enough to do good and efficient work. The main thing now is to get the improve ment started and started in such a way that it can grow and expand with the growth of appreciation of it's bene- fits.
 The experience of New Jersey in road improvement Is instructive and encour- aging. That State began the work as long ago as 1S8S It has had three road laws. The first empowered township committees to levy taxes and borrow money and required the payment of
 
 road taxes in cash. The second author ized the county freeholders, when in- structed by a majority of the voters, to assume exclusive control of any road in the county to levy taxes and borrow money, to assess one-third of the cost on the township and two- thirds on the county at large. Under these laws, Essex county, which is only twelve miles square, has built
The daily morning journal and courier., 1895-04-22

over 200 miles of fine macadam and Telford roads; Union county borrowed S455,00 at four per cent. and obtained a complete system of Telford and macadam highways, and Passaic coun- ty, within four years, constructed slxty-hve miles of maoadam roads. According to the report of the State commissioner, with the interest of the bonds added to the annual tax levy the rate of taxation is lower than be- fore the building of the roads," and property has increased in value from thirty to fifty per cent. The third law, known as the State Aid law, passed in 1891, provides that on petition of the owners of two-thirds of the land bordering on any public road the coun- ty shall improve it, one-tenth of the cost to be paid by the abutters, one- third by the State and the remainder -56 2-3 per cent.-by the county. In 1892 ten miles of road were built under this law, twenty-five miles In 1893 and sixty miles in 1894; and this year the applications are in excess of the limit fixed by the legislature,
 The people of New Jersey have found out that good roads pay. The people of Connecticut will make the same discovery when they have the oppor- tunity and they will wonder that they didn't realize it before.

TIME TO WAKE UP.

Some of the leading Democrats of
 Connecticut are following the cue given
 them by President Cleveland and are
 "whooping it up" for sound money. They are doing we'll, and, in our opin- ion, the leading Republicans of Connec- ticut would do well not to let the lead ing Democrats get ahead of them in this all important matter. The great fight which will reach it's climax on the fourth day of November, 1896, is al- ready begun. There Is but one sound and safe attitude for the Republicans to take And this, too, whether they win or not in the first battle Secre- tary Morton put the matter just right when he said: The time for straddlers has passed. Those who are for a sound currency on a gold basis ought to have the courage to say so and abide by the results of their declaration. It makes no difference to me whether a declara- ton of truth, either upon the tariff or the money question, temporarily drives voters from or allures them to us.
 What are Republican leaders in Con- necticut and elsewhere thinking about? Do they intend to let the blundering party and the idolatrous make Cleveland president again?

 Light wash silks in striped designs with tiny buds are made up with the stripes running both ways. The skirt Is ar- ranged with stripes up and down as far as the knee. and here a wide insertion of lace with ribbon comes underneath. A deep frill of the silk falls from the insertion, the stripe running about the figure. This arrangement tends to em- phasize the slenderness of the figure and increase the effect of fullness in the skirt. All sorts of crisp gauzy lawns are shown besprinkled with tiny flower designs and are planned for use over silk of a shade to match the dominant color in the design. Such dresses look very pretty and crisp, but they won't go to the wash tub and are not pretty

His Profegsion.

[From the Cincinnati Tribunel
 The l1lnd-hearted lady was little in- quisitiye, but as she had just supplied MT. Dismal Dawson with one of the most filling and satisfactory handouts he had gotten hold of for many day, she felt that she had some right to be personal to a slight degree.
 Have you no trade by which you could earn living?" she asked.
 MT. Dawson drew himself up haughti- ly and answered: ''I am professional man, num-"
 And what is your profession, pray?" 'Professin' to be lookin' fer work"
 The dog had his nose so deep in a rat hole behind the barn that the kind hearted lady's calls were of no avail.

An Episcopalian clergyman struck an old farmer in Indiana who declared that he was @ 'Piscopal." ''To what parish do you belong?" asked the clergyman. s'Don't know nawthin' bout enny par ish," was the answer. "Well, then" continued the clergyman, "what diocese do you belong top "They ain't naw- thin like that round here," said the farmer Who confirmed you, then?" was the next question. "Nobody?" an- swered the farmer. "Then how are you an Episcopalian?" ?" asked the clergyman. 'tWell," was the reply, "you see, it's this way. Last winter I went down to Ar kansas visitin', and while was there I went to church, and 1t was called 'Pis- copal, and herd them say that they'd left undone the things what they'd oughter done, and they had done some things whot they oughten done and l says to myself, says I, That's my fix, exac'ly,' and ever since considered my self 'Piscopalean.

A new warehouse in Paris has been built with glass floors. The initial cost is considerably over that of the ordi- mary floor. but, in view of the fact that toughened glass is so much longer lived than wood, the experiment is likely to prove cheaper in the longer run.

All the smart" people are not in this country. An English firm is utilizing the wreck of the Elbe to advertise it's goods. The point is made from the fact that a lady passenger on the ill-fated vessel, who was clad in certain kind of cheviot serge, was in the water for five hours and her costume did not shrink nor otherwise suffer from the hard usage.

When the German Lloyd steamer Ems on her last voyage passed the spot in the North sea where the Elb sank a touching scene took place. On board the Ems was a passenger who had lost his wife and three children by the col 1ision, and he had requested the cap- tain of the Ems to pass slowly over the spot where the Elbe's masts could be seen above the water. Signal was given to move slowly, the whole crew was called to quarters, with the band, flags were hoisted at half-mast, off, cers and crew stood uncovered, and while a salute of nine guns was fired, the passenger, with tears streaming from his eyes. threw flower wreath, heavily bound with lead, overheard.

board at the headquarters Of the Knights Of

patch from an official Of the order in Brook
Ign, N. Y. stating that the great demon
stration which had been arranged to take
place at Prospect Park Thursday by the
members Of the Knights of Labor and those
of the Antitrust League, the latter alone
having between 5000 and $4,000 members.
has been abandoned on account OF the re-
fusal at the last moment Of the park COM
missioner to permit the park to be used for
the meeting Mr.. Best said the promoters
of the demonstration have had the pro-
posed meeting largely advertised for the
past three months, and the action of the
city official having charge of the park can
only be accounted for on the ground that
he Is opposed to the celebration Of the day
in the manner intended. Prospect Park is,
eral use by societies of all sorts for meet
ing purposes and picnics, and this fact
makes the action of the commissioner
more unaccountable. Owing to the lateness
of the decision the committee of arrange
ments were unable to procure any other
suitable place for the assembly, and the
proposed meeting had to be aban lonnd AS
one result of this General Master Work
