ing necessarily upon the reserve capital of
nerve force. The wear, tear and strain of
modern life are concentrated upon the nerv-
GUS system. The young men of Our day be-
come sufferers from nervous debility or ex-
haustion, nervous prostration or weakness:
This may be the result of too much mental
worry and excitement, or the result of bad
practices and excesses, or pernicious habits,
contracted in youth, through ignorance.
They feel irritable, weak and nervous with
such distressing symptoms as backache,
dizziness, shooting pains in head or chest,
sometimes indigestion. The middle-aged
men, as we'll, suffer from exhaustion, loss OF
manly power, low spirits, impaired memory,
and many arrangements of mind and body.

To Remove Rust from Linen.

Stains of rust may be removed from
fine linen and similar fabrics without
injury to the material. The articles
must be first well soaped, as if they were
to be washed in the ordinary way. An
iron is heated and ON this laid wet
cloth. When the heat makes the cloth
steam the rust stain is laid on it and
little 0xalic acid is rubbed on with the
finger. The heat and the moisture
hasten the effect of the acid on the rust,
and when this has disappeared the
soaping and washing may be continued.

that it was as often followed by fine
weather as by rain, and Messrs Mar

THE MOONS INFLUENCE.

Fair Luna's Effect on the Weather Is a
Subject of Dispute.
Fallacies about the moon are numer-
Gus, such as a full moon clears away
the clouds; that you should only sow
beans or cut down trees in the wane of
the moon; that 1t is bad sign if she
changes on a Saturday or Sunday;
that two full moons in month will
cause flood; that to see the old moon
in the arms of the new brings on rain,
and many others, of which catalogue
alone would take up good deal of
space. NJ. Flammarion says that 1.-The
moons influence on the weather is
negligible. The heat reaching us from
the moon would only affect our temper
allure by twelve millionths of degree;
and the atmospheric tides caused by
the moon would only affect the bar
ometric pressure few hundredths of
an inch-a quantity FAR less than the
changes which are always taking place
from other causes" On the whole we
are disposed to agree with the rhyme
which thus sums up the subject:

But with the fixed proscenium as at present constructed, the room of cot- tage or q garret had to be represented on the same scale as the palace The house was first represented and then a room in that house, but the room was often much larger than the house. The eye of the spectator was never proper ly prepared for the climax of the scene, because the trivial incidents leading up to it had been represented on such a large and disproportlonate scale. If his suggestion, on the other hand, were adopted, the scenic artist could carry out all the laws which governed pictorl- al composition in art; the lower side boxes could not see less than they did now, and as for the higher side boxes, let them perish. His own efforts had been directed to realize the painters view of nature, and he maintained that the stage picture should call forth the highest powers of the painter. Scenic art should not be held to be an inferior art, and the greatest painter of the day should find some pleasure in such work.-London Times.

------------------' VEIL IND H.IiL.

The year which sneaked out yesterday has not been a very comfortable or happy year for this country. Some thing or other that was troublesome has been going on most of the time, and when there was nothing actively disturbing there was always the de- pressing knowledge that we had the Democrats and their tariff for deficit with us. The last month of the year was the worst of all, and though the war now seems to be over it was but a few days ago that 1t was being Waged as actively as wind and words could wage it. Everybody is glad that it is over, and many feel so relieved that they would like to see the govern ment of this country wish England a Happy New Year.
 Those of us who have struggled through 1895 can afford to enter 1896 with courage and hope. If 1896 doesn't pan out better than 1895 did we shall need all the courage and hope we can muster, and if it does we can feel pleas- ed that our courage and hope have been rewarded.

---- -------- MORE BAD GOOD CITIZENS.

Yesterday we saw how bad some of the good citizens of Chicago were. To- day we have a chance to see how bad some of the good citizens of New York are. It was Mayor Swift, of Chicago, who exposed the good citizens of his town, and it is President Roosevelt of New York who gives away the good citizens of New York. He says: You would be astonshed if I should tell you the names of men, standing high in New York city, who came to me for some of the worst people that there were in that Cthe police) department because it was a department in which money could accomplish most anything and any man who had money, whether he was a law abiding citizen or a, criminal, could buy protection and the services of the police if it was necessary for him to have them, and naturally he got efficient services for which he paid and he was not willing to receive merely the protection that would be meted out to him exactly as to other citizens, rich or poor. He did not want the change which would deprive him of the advant- age his money gave him in getting po- lice protection.
 This is sad. Possibly we may hear that some of the good citizens of Phila- delphia are not what they ought to be, and the same story may be told about good citizens of some other cities. But We can look upon such revelations with comparative equanimity so long as we know that the good citizens Of New Haven are really good, and not in the reprehensible business of breed ing the spirit of communism.

The Children of the Road.

Concerning the children who are forced upon the road there is a good deal to be said, but am not sure that much talk should not be directed against the popular belief that their number is legion. Socialists particular ly believe that hundreds upon hundreds of boys and girls are compelled by hunger to beg and steal for living. In England I once heard a. labor agi- tator declare that there are a million of these juvenile victims of capital" in the United States alone. I do not know where the man got his informa- tion, but if my finding counts for any, thing, it is deplorably unsound. I car- not claim to have studied the subject as carefully as is necessary to know it absolutely, but in most of our large cities I have given it close arttention, and never have I found anything like the state of affairs which even the general public believes to exist. For every child forced by starvation to ra- sort to the road I have found ten who we're born there and nearly the same number who were enticed there h saying this. however, I do not want to draw emphasis or sympathy away from that certainly existing class of children who really have been driven into out ouLlawry. But it is an injustice to our sober poor to say that they exist in those large numbers that are so often quoted.
 Not long ago I made it my especial business for awhile to look into the con- dition of some of these compulsory little vagabonds in New York city. I picked out those children whom one seas ten pilfering slyly from the . idewaLsA1-Dlay. It is

For a very slender woman q good low necked device includes a ribbon collar worn about the throat and from which bands of ribbon extend like the spokss of a wheel to the edge of the cut-out. The result is that the pretty skin shows smoothly between the ribbons, and all the ugly bones that oughtn't to be there, hide themselves under the rib bons.
 A party dress that is high necked and that is designed to convey an air of the demurity that is supposed to have prevailed in grandmothers day is shown here. It is made of white silk, the skirt trimmed with three narrow with d narrow head. The blouse waist is gathered at the neck and waist and has three perpendicular rows of nar- row yellow valencennes insertion in back and front. It fastens invisibly at the side and has a folded collar and belt of white silk with large chiffon bow at the back of the former. The trimming consists of a Marie Antot- nette fchu of white chiffon with lace insertion and edging. the sleeves being also banded lengthWise with the lace.

L$PLdINED.

At last we have an adequate explana- tion of the decrease in the number and value of sheep in this country during the last two years. And, appropriately enough, it comes from a Democrat. In 1893, while the Mckinley law was in operation the value of sheep in the country reached its highest point, $125,- 909,204. In 1894 the value of the coun- trys sheep was $89,1S6, 11o, a loss of s36, ,723,094 in single year. A footnote in Secretary Morton's report says: Sheep have suffered rather abrupt decline in numbers, price, and of course aggregate value, since January, 1893. The ravages of dogs are generally re- ferred to by correspondents as one of the checks upon the progress of this valuable industry"
 Of course, of course. The dogs have done 1t. And the dogs have made the big deficit. They have also done so many other things that the country at times appears to be in danger of going wholly to them. IL is evident that this country needs fewer or more useful

 'snatehers," the former keeping an eye on the police as well as the owners of the things coveted, and the latter grab ping when the wink is given, The crime itself Is not a heavy one accord Ing to the calendar, but 1t Is only a step from this to picking pockets, and only a half step farther to highway robbery, l chose this particular elasa because l had often nClced the mem bers or it in my walks through the city, and 1t had seemed to me the least neces- sary of all. Then, too, there was some thing in the pinehed faces that made me anxious to know the children per sonally on the grounds of charity. The great majority of youthful travellers on the road are comparatively well fed, to say the least, and, much as one pities their fate. he will seldom have cause to weep over their starved condition, But here was something different, and l rancied that was to get a glimpse into the life of those people to whom the socialist points when asked for living examples of human woe caused by in human capitalists.
 It was not hard to get in with the children.

Professor Totten's letter on the Pres ident's message, lately published in the Journal and Courier, has already received much favorable notice abroad as we'll as at home here in New Haven, There has been a special demand for that particular issue of the Journal and Courier Under Notes and Com ments, "TrumbuL," the versatile cor resrondent of the New York Herald, in his weekly letter refers to 1t as fol- lows: "In the line of current literature an incident of the week was an ex- ceedingly able and exhaustive assault upon the Presidents position in regard to the Monroe doctrine by Professor c. A. l.. Tottem of millennium fame. It was kept entirely free from his Anglo Israelite views, and not an eccentricity appeared in it. which has had the nat ural result of presenting him to the public in an entirely new light. His style is bold and striking, but he argues close to the core. Even those who differ from him concede the ability he has shown" Professor Totten now sums up the case by pointing out that we have no more authority as of~rlght to enter this mere boundary question be- tween two distant sovereign States than the Terra del Fuegoans have to institute commission upon the Alask- an boundary difficulties between the United States and Great Britain.
