A Writers Reasons For Thinking "Visit-
 ing" IntO1erable.
 Of what earthly use is "company?" You probably see your neighbors once 8 week, meeting them on the public high ways, and if you nod pleasantly and speak word or two of the weather and of the health of the family, has not ev- erything been done that our necessities require or formality can reasonably de- mand? If we have business or need in- formation that others can give us, go and ask of them. Be brief, but to the point, and, leaving with what is de- sired, carry away also their blessing. To go to another's house, to request of it's inmates one or all, to sit for half an hour or longer and listen to your plati- tudes, and-cOming away-lie to them about a pleasant call, is intolerable. Yet there are thousands who do this daily.
 Why should l leave my occupation, be it loafng even, and give my atten- tion to some man or woman who is thoughtless enough to "call?" The actuating motive never appears. Much is spoken and nothing said. I receive no worthy thought to profit by or in- crease the probability of a beatifc eter- nifty. The familiar we'll gnawed bones of doctrine fall from the devils table. Usually I am forced to breathe at such time a gossip poisoned atmosphere. This "call'' is another idea of civility, and am compelled, it appears, to be a victim of his or her whim. If I refuse, as I have done point blank, to present myself, am called boor and all man. ner of ugly names. .-Lippincott's s.

Strange Beginning of a Friendship.

remember the anecdote my stepfa- ther, Count 'd'Aure, who entered La Fleche before the regulation age of 8, used to tell me. It was the first time he had left his mother, and he was some- what bewildered by the roughness of his comrades, who affected the airs of old troopers. To make sure that he was not milksop, one of them, veteran of 12, made him lay his hand fiat on the ground, stepped on it and crushed one of his fingers. This tormentor was the future General Paraguay 'Hilliers. The victim, who nearly tainted, bore . it bravely, however. "And this was the beginning" my stepfather used to add half century later, when showing his deformed finger, '''of friendship that lasted all our lives" This happened shortly after the first empire, when Roman virtues were emulated, but one must not infer from this isolated fact that stoicism fourishes vigorously in the French educational system. - Tn.

THE CHEERFUL MAN.
Things That Ljghten Life For Hunters !
 the Woods on Dreary Days.

Things That Ljghten Life For Hunters I'm
 the Woods on Dreary Days.
 There is a kind of man who never lacks camping companions. He may be rich or poor, big or little. He may be so weak as to be hardly able to carry his rife and never able to bring stick of wood for the campfire. He is wanted, nevertheless. The campers call him the jOvial man, the one who never sulks, but always smiles He is chee4ful when the clouds weep and the campers are dismal. He laughs when he miSses easy shots. He grins when the smoke gets into his eyes and says that the hubs and sticks in the camp bed are good, because they give the sleeper plenty of exercise.
 The cheerful man is especially we'll liked in a camp where the hunters have had bad run of luck. If 8 week passes and the woods have been so dry that the deer or the turkeys couldn't be ap- preached, then the cheerful man, as he fries pork or bacon for supper, laughs and says that any way it's good thing for the game.
 When the weather is gloomy and ev- cry one has the blues, it is the cheerful man who gets out and gathers a big heap of wood, if he can, or, if he can't, he has somebody else do it, and when night comes a big campfire is started that cheers everybody up to the story telling point, which point indicates cheerfulness.
 Even small boys are welcome in 8 veterans camp when the place is gloomy. Small boys make things inter esting. There are guns to drag around and owners to say things. There is @ food supply to pick at, and fire to med dle with, pipes to break and tin dishes to rattle. It doesn't take much to cheer up sad camp, if only the right visitor comes along. The arrival of a smiling woman from another camp, one day when the rain poured, did that once up on Moose river. She had rife over her shoulder and three dripping cartridges in her hand. Her hunting suit was drip ping wet, and her once curly bangs hung down over her eyes. Every com blaming man of the camp leaped to his feet,~ and great heap of green birch logs was soon cut and sizzling in the fire. The gloom was dispelled like so much smoke. In few minutes she was standing near the fire steaming as her clothes dried. When she left, two hours later, every one was as happy us a cat by grate re.-New York Sun.

Its Advantages and Disadvantages For the
 Sportsman Described.
 According to a Sportsmen's Review writer, smCkCless powder is cOnfusingly varying. If the rifle is used on warm day, it shoo. S with s1nckeless powder with flat trajectory and great penetra- tion, but on cold day it seems to be frozen stiff and shoots differently, talk ing a nigh trajectory and giving less penetration, and so the smokeless pow. der user would do we'll 10 take thcr- mOmeter along marked with the varia- tion of inches in the trajectory. The smokeless powder would be worth the trouble, evidently, because ''the bullet fired by 30 grains of the smokCloss tore a third larger hCle than the bullet fired by 75 grains cf black powder. That means that a, deer shot in the Tau1lch with a 45 caliber bullet driven by smokeless would die in half the time that one shot with black powder dr-v- en bullet would, because the shock is so much greater with the swifter smcke less ball. which literally flies to pieces.
 Another thing about the smokeless powder is not inconsiderable. -:

 In the woods more so than on the plains the smoke of gun is:distressing, especially when the game. is on the hus- ting jump. More than enc man has jumped sideways after each shot to get another because of tie smoke. A boy using a 45-7O rifle. at deer on an Adj rondack runway jumped down a 10 foot bank, striking in waist deep water, that he might get another shot at the deer. The last shot killed the deer as it land ed on a rock ready for leap into thick brush. It was a still day, with no wind, and the five shots fired left cloud of smoke in the air for 15 minutes after.

Number 34.
(Hartford Courant.) AT THE STATE PRISON.

1t was monthly visiting day at the state prison last Friday, and there were many callers upon the favored prisoners who have friends who remember them. At the upper end of the cell block were many packages of fruit and delicacies waiting to be delivered to the prisoners, the friends not being allowed to give anything direct ly to the cOnvicts for obvious reasons. It was interesting to note the familiarity with this requirement. shown by those who had visited there frequently. They handed whatever they had brought for their friends directly to one of the officers and then greeted the convicts with hand shake, or If the visitor be wife, sister o1 mother, with 8 kiss. These visits are not' as might be supposed, sad ones, but as rule are cheerful, chatty, and as fa- mll1ar as the presence of the deputy war den, or other officer, may warrent. Some times as many as seventy-five visitors call in one day, making busy time for the officers.
 Casper Hartlein, the murderer of Louise I1eboe, of Manchester, who is under sen- tence to be hanged December Sd, before sunrise, will be put into the execution house in few days, there to pass the re- mainder of his earthly existence. in the steel cage, within few feet of the auto- matic gallcws which will send him into eternity. Hartlein is in good physical and mental condition, having grown quite deshy since he was in prison. His mental malady, affected or otherwise, after he was arrested, has disappeared and he ap- pears to be in a comfortable frame of mind, all things considered. He is visited by the Rev. Nicholas Schneider, of New Britain, a German Catholic priest. and expresses himself in readiness to meet his fate.
 The new west end, or reformatory sec- tton of the prison, is in excellent condi tion, and the nineteen convicts. who arc Tn the new cells appear to be pleased with the recognition given to their good con- ouct. The cells are of the best modern construction, and are furnished with fold ing hair mattresses with springs, carpeted, and with many little luxuries that other prisoners do not have, including a cup board, with crockery layout, plated knife and fork, and other things that or. dinary people use. The.cooking is of a better quality and the food of higher grade than that of the other prisoners Friday the principal dish for dinner wae fish chowder. Irish stews, dried beef bacon and other meats not cooked in tho other kitchen are served. The food il taken to the cells on truck, which ha. several kettles upon it, and each man' rations are passed to him. It is reall, quite an improvement on usual prisol fare. The men in the west end have dail newspapers, which is considered by then a great privilege.

gareat Rritain at War.


 Ou1 purely defensive strength rests upon ssn assumed naval supremacy sufa- cient to sweep all enemies from the seas ito such an extent at all events as to insure us against the possibility of be- ing starved into submission, although otherwise unbeaten. This necessarily means that the navy must be in posi- tion not only to guard home waters, but also to undertake extensive operations, offensive as we'll as defensive, upon ev- cry sea. Any serious interruption of our trade would entail consequences almost as disastrous as the complete stoppage of our food supply. Whether the British navy is or is not sufficiently strong not only to guarantee the United Kingdom against actual invasion, but also to pro- tect adequately our immense volume of foreign trade, is 8 matter of opinion. But even assuming that the desired con- ditions can be accepted as actually ex- isting it will scarcely be denied that ev- cry ship set free from the task of guard ing our own shores must add an addt- tional guarantee to the safety of our merchant ships abroad. It follows there fore that if the army were in position to prevent the possibility of success ful landing without the aid of the na- val forces the latter would enjoy free dom of action which they cannot have while hampered by the millstone of pos sible invasion hanging about their neoks. It needs to be ever borne in mind that, however successfully and by whatever | means WA Eecure ourselves against h0iOo invaded, war upon such terms could moi continue indefinitely without at last reaching the point at which we should be obliged to choose between peace al any price and ruin.-Broad Arrow.

 A horse belonging to A. D.

The wagon attached to him was somewhat broken.
 Owing to the dullness of the market and the high prices of raw material, the woolen mills in Stafford will hereafter run but eight hours per day. There are ten Woolen mills in town, which are now running at little or no profit. The wool en business has been very poor for the last year, and is rapidly growing worse. Many mills are running at 8 loss. The Springfield Republican says: "A Berk- shire manufacturer is forced to sell an excellent article of broadcloth for $2 50 a yard for which he formerly received $4, and the raw wool for which costs him all he gets for the cloth. The small mills in Berkshire are ornamenting their estab- lishments with mortgages, and business is in every way in sorry condition"

A Little Girls Riddle.

Several children were asking riddles the other day, and bright little girl who listened got the idea of what 6 riddle was The next day she went tc her father and said, "There was 8 blind and curtains on a pole and the pole fell and two men laughed. The father promptly gave it up when she said, ''Don't you see the pointP" Upon being answered in the negative she puzzled her brains for awhile, and said, "Nei- ther do I.'' She is now practicing on riddles tbat have some meaning in them.
