GREAT WORK.

MT. Bryan has begun to talk again, and he announces that he intends to keep talking until 1900. He probably will continue to talk as long as he has crowded houses and generous applause, He likes them and will enjoy himself as long as they hold out. If his talk has the same effect that it had during the last campaign those who do not believe in him, his theories or his talk can well afford to encourage him to stay on the stump for the next four years. Somebody has collected the re- turns in ninety-two cities in which he spoke during the campaign, and the to- tals show that Cleveland plurality of 155,765 in them four years ago was changed into a Mckinley plurality of 45O,052.
 This is great work. Perhaps no cam paigner ever equalled it. If he could do that in three months he would cer- tainly be able to save the country in four years.

----- 4 CAY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

We suppose there is still some doubt about the proper use of the bicycle on Sunday. It is pretty we'll settled that man or woman can conscientiously ride bicycle on Sunday to meeting and as conscientiously ride it back home, providing no scorching is done. It is also pretty we'll settled that either before or after religious duties are done on Sunday a bicycler can use a wheelas one who is not a bicycler might with propriety and piety use a horse. Rides for health, rides to visit friends. rides to the graveyard and other Sum day rides that are unquestionably proper can probably be as properly and piously done on wheel as on a horse or in a carriage. But is it wicked to ride a bicycle on Sunday simply, solely and wildly for fun? If it is there was 8 heap of wickedness on the fine asphalt pavement on Orange street yesterday afternoon, where many bi- cyclers were disporting themselves as gaily and recklessly as if they were French people in Paris. If some of the old New Haven Puritans or Pilgrims could have seen the strange scene they would have wagged their heads and groaned, for they would have had no doubt about the wickedness theerof. But times have changed, and modern | New Haven debating society could, we suppose, spend some time in discussing the question raised by the performance and then might decide that it was all right. Right or wrong, it was certainly gay ard festive, and worth looking at by philosophical descendants of the Puritans or Pilgrims

TEUTONIC CALM ON A STATE OC-
 CASION


 Governor Thomas T. Chittenden, who succeeded Phelps in the executive chair, was inaugurated in January, 1881, with more ceremony and frills than any other governor since the war. There were military and bands galore, and special train-loads of people came from Kansas city and St. Louis to wit ness the pageant. The military fea- lures were in charge of Captain Flaw ley, of St. Louis, who was grand mar shal of the day. Brockmeyer, who, as lieutenant-go governor, was presiding over the senate, was lolling back in his chair on> the presidents stand, smoking a cob pipe and awaiting notice of the time for the senate to proceed to the hall of the house of representatives, where the two bodies in joint session were to receive the new governor, and the inaugur ation would be consumma- ted The senate lobby was crowded and the senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for martial strains could be heard on the outside At this juncture figure in glittering and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched halfway up the aisle. It was Marshal of the Day Hawley. Drawing his sword he made a military salute, and pompously an- nounced:
 MT. President, the Governor of Mis- souri and his staff now approaches
 Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Brockmeyer replied:
 We'll let him coom; dot is what we are here for.''
 When the laugh had subsided the senate proceeded to the house and the inauguration was completed.-Ka City Times

A STRANGE POWER.

It is a curious thing, the power which some human beings have over animals. There is in Lowell a boy, differing in no respect from his companions, who has this power in marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows him and loves to be in his com pany. A vicious horse which the sta blemen can with difficulty handle will stand like a lamb while he harnesses and unharnesses him. The doves fly around him, and in the woods the wild birds apparently regard him as a friend and ally.
 The most remarkable exhibition of his power, which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vi cious rat was captured in the stable in one of those traps which permit of easy ingress and no egress. The men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap, the animal showed such terror, but the boy when he beheld the imprisoned creature fear lessly put out his finger and stroked it's head, the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or dog Sev- eral days have passed since then, and the stablemen are still afraid of their capture, but he has grown so tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap, will come at his whistle, and manifests every appearance of joy at his presence There seems to be no question but what the boy could train that rat to perform almost any feat within the power of such an animal- Lowell Evening Star.

4 wonD TO THE w1sE IND SMOOTH

4 WORD TO THE WISE IND SMOOTH.
 Some of the managing and maneuver- ing Republicans of New Haven are, we think, little too confident of their ability to put through this year in the city and town election anything labeled Republican. They will do well to pause and reflect, or, if they haven't time to pause, they will do well to reflect as they go. They will make very poor use of their strength and their oppor- tunity if they do not make such nomi- nations as will commend themselves to the good sense of the voters. The vot- CTS are not as partisan as they have sometimes been, and it is no sign, be- cause they have just voted overwhelm- ingly for Republican men and Republi- can policies in national matters that they will swallow anything that may be offered them in local matters.
 Good nominations are good for both the party that makes them and the peo- pie. A party confident enough of its strength to make poor nominations may find that it has underestimated the intelligence and recalcitrance of the people.

touch of austerity in their attire, some thing that will show their regard for the deceased without casting a gloom upon friends in general Mourning of this kind is proper for all those who do not withdraw themselves from their world during their period of mourning, cousins, connections by marriage, close ly attached friends, or dependents,
 Crepe is not essential, and implies a greater formality. If used it should be made part of the gown and not in trude itself. It is highly inconsistent to combine crepe with fancy black ma- terial, but it is in place with any dull surface black.
 Tn this picture are two costumes whose maker confessed to having been requested to add touch of sombreness and at the same time to show that the wearers were in touch with fashiona- ble demands. The left hand dress was of black cloth, made up with plain skirt and a bodice with a sleeveless bolero of block crepe A loose front of crepe was bound in by a high girdle of dull black silk, and crepe frills at the wrists were headed by a roll of silk. The eff feet was certainly youthful, and though an innovation, it was deemed by it's designer an excellent dress for young women that are not to withdraw from their usual interests during the wearing of mourning. The other pie tured dress is perhaps a little more consistent. It on1its both the crepe and the color, and does not intrude the fact of mourning, All plain wool weaves are suitable for it. The pretty finish shown was fine pleating of black chif- fon Such gown will be of service af- ter mourning is over, and respectful during it's period FLORETTE.

WATCH THIS

hOW TO It IS no small recon, mendation for Seal | A COOK. Boefgrain, this su- perior food for sick or well. that if it is not cooked right it is not palatable.
 It were better if this were true of all food.
 Of course improperly cooked food has bad effect, but much food so cooked simply does not digest, clogs or poisons the system. You are uncom- fortable; your stomach distresses you; bowels are out of order; you suffer loss of vitality, have nervous chill, or something similar. You feel that some thing has gone wrong, but do not know just what to blame.
 Seal BOefgrain, if it is not cooked properly, makes it known at once through the taste.
 Food that does not taste right will not digest right, you may be sure of that. It is easily cooked; does not require more than two minutes careful attention. Follow directions carefully. Then you have a most delicious, pal atable, nutritious, and digestible food.
 It is from three to ten times as nu- tritious as any other food which can be obtained; that is, your money will pur- chase for you from three to ten times more than if you buy any other food, including the best meats.

FASHION NOTES.
erieving Yet Strictly Fashionable.

Grieving Yet Strictly Fashionable.
 Mourning gowns are more reasonable than for many years. It is at last dis tinctly recognized that deep mourning has no place in the fashionable world, that a church gown, severely simple and richly draped by an all enshroud- ing veil of crepe, is almost the only cos tune that should represent deep mourn ing outside of the house, and that into the seclusion of a house of deep mourn- ing only intimates should be welcome, all modishness of mourning attire be- ing out of place. At the same time it is deemed respectful for those connect ed with a bereaved family to in some way recognize the general loss by a

A Kansas City firm that makes can- ned soups of various soris was surpris- ed to receive from Rhode Island the other day an inquiry as to the terms at which it would sell "wishbones" in thousand lots. This request has re- vea1ed to the company a new source of income. Hitherto the skeletons of the numerous fowls it uses have been ground into fertilizer, but having dis covered that there is a demand for s'wishbones' to be used for various decorative and sentimental purposes, the Kansas City men think that by properly pushing the trade they can get more for this one bone than they have receiving for all the rest.
