PROF PLATES MUSICALE.

The program given at Glover's hall on Wednesday night by Prof Platt's Sandy Hook. South Britain and Southbury pupils and other local talent came off in fine form. It was two hours long, to be -ure, but was so varied and so promptly brought on that the audience did not ap- pear to be wearied. In fact many of Eiitn stayed just for little dance after
 Haid, la Ne~town. Notwithstanding the unfavorabI state of the weather the hall was we'll filled; ard considera ble number came from over the river. The girls were pretty and the boys bright and all the pupils did well, some better than others of course. The musicale, as Prof Platt explained, is given for the benefit of the pupils primarily. To give them experience and confidence in playing before others. "Music hath charms" and it is interesting to think how the future homes as we'll as the pre- sent ones may be made happy by reason of the teachers faithful work. Numbers receiving special applause from the audi ence were "Poet and Peasant," cornet and piano by Mrs William Wakeley and
 Mrs Charles Pierce; violin duet by Arthur Platt and H. G. Warner; violin solo by
 H. G. Warner; "Spring Song" by MT
 Hall, Mrs Tucker. MT Banker and Mrs
 Hall, and "Recollections of Home,' J piano solo by Mrs Stone. The piano duet by Edith and Henry Campbell was 1 neatly done.

For years, MT Wlnne has been suffering from complicated case of kidney and bladder trouble and congestion of the liver. Upon the ad- vic, of friends he decided to try Dr Kenuedy's Favorite Remedy. He was not disappointed, for in short while after he began it's use, he was in better health than he had been for years be- fore.
 In speaking of Favorite Remedy, MT Winne said: alt has done more for me than all the physicians I ever employed, and most unhesitatingly recommend it to any one suffering from kidney liver or urinary troubles, for it will cure them" :"
 Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the acknowledged sps cific for all diseases arising from acidity of the blood, and will cure dyspepsia, rheumatism, scrof- ula, eczema, kidney, liver and urinary troubles.
 You cannot afford to trifie with health and life. Putting off treatment when dangerous symptoms exist is only slow suicide Accept the aid of Dr Ken- nedy's Favorite Remedy; it has restored thousands to health and strength.

Rev o. W. Barker, the pastor of the Congregational church, is to visit 1.-The Holy Land," accompanying his father, Ezra D. Barker of Brooklyn. MT Barker will be sadly missed by his congregation, but they are pleased that he is to have this magnificent opportunity. Mir Bar ker will preach his last sermon before his trip on February 3, and expects to be back at his post of duty on April IA. The itinerary of the trip, as now arrang- ed, will be about as follows: The steam ship "Friesland'' will leave New York, Wednesday, February 6. The following Friday will be spent at Hamilton in the Bermuda Islands, and on Thursday, February II, a stop of one day will be made at the Azores Islands, enroute to the Mediterranean. Sunday, February l7, will be passed quietly at Gibraltar, the entrance-gate to the great land-locked sea On the following day a rail journey from Malaga in Spain will enable the tourists to visit the old Moorish castle of the Alhambra at Grenada. The ship then touches at Algiers and Malta on the way to Alexandria, the port of Egypt, where the party arrive Tuesday, Febru- ary 26. A railroad ride of 240 miles along the banks of the famous Nile car ries the passengers to the Pyramids and Sphinx. The vessel lies at Jaffa. the port of Jerusalem, for one week, while tours are made to the intensely interest ing scenes whereabouts so intimately con- nected with the earthly life of the Christ. A trip is also planr ed for those who wish 1t, by diligence or on horse back, to Nazareth, Galilee and Damas- GUS, the last the most ancient city in the world. Rhodes, one of the stepping stones that lie so thickly in the Grecian Archipelago, Is touched at, and smyrna and Ephesus are also visited before Con- stantinople Is reached on Thursday, March IA. Here in the Sultan's capital, two days are spent, and then the party hurry on to Piraens, the port of Athens, distant from that famous city 20 miles by rail. Two days the tourists are al- lowed to wander among the faded glories of this ancient art.city, and then the ship is again taken for short call at Messina, on the island of Sicily, and for a short visit to the Blue Grotto on the islet of Capri where one of Rome's fa- nous emperors lived long in solitary exile. Five days at Naples suffice to sec it's wonders in nature and art, and also to take rail journey to the once-buried city of Pompeii and the eternal city oi Rome. At Rome the party divide ; a few return direct to New York by the "Fries land," but by far the larger number contemplate going across Europe, visit ing Genoa and Paris and, sailing from Antwerp, make themselves due in New York, Monday, April 8. The distance covered by the entire trip will be little short of 13, ,000 miles.
 MT Barker has promised to keep hi friends posted on his trip through I'll BEE, which fact will give great satisfac tion.

MT Starr is large farmer, having farm of about 250 acres and keeps about 75 head
 of cattle which help to supply Danbury in her demand for milk. The past few
 years MT Starr has put some thought into the best feed for his cows that would pro- duce the best result. As sequa to his investigations he has found that for him the best of wheat middlings produce the most satisfactory results, when sprinkled in .orn stalks or other cut feed. He uses
 this feed exclusivelyiand has just fed out one 20 ton lot already this winter and commenced on second 20 ton lot. He also gives this feed to his horses and finds | that they do fully as we'll on 1t, as on
 any feed he has ever given them. MT
