Philadelphia Doorwnys.

Such doorways have their histories unquestionably, but they are lost in the dust of the past Who designed the we'll proportioned panels, who fashioned the brass knocker and whose taste de- vised the simple decorations will never be divulged The owner has likewise passed into oblivion, leaving only the speechless door behind to awaken the curiosity and stimulate the emulation of newer generations
 If the Germantown doorways were plain almost to severity. those in the city proper were often more decorated with the various beautiful devices of the colonial period. Among these the fanlight was almost universally em- ployed, and besides adding an orna- mental appearance to the exterior fur nished often the high light for the hall within.
 In designing it is we'll for a decorator to know when to stop and to have the courage to do so. This virtue the post Revolutionary architect possessed to a marked degree, as is exemplified in the doorway described. The fanlight sup ported by two square columns, the mer- est suggestion of carving and short wreath over the door were all that was essential to make an attractive entrance, therefore, having done this much, he dared to stop, although many plain sur- faces remained upon which his skill might we'll have been displayed "House Beautiful.

A NEW HANDSPRING.
A New Waterbury Movement Discov- cred by an Empioye of Watch Fac- tory in Connecticut.

A New Waterbury Movement Discov-
 cred by an Empioye of a Watch Fac-
 tory in Connecticut.
 When Charles V retired to Monas- tery, worn out with internecine strife in his kingdom, he busted himself with trying to make twelve watches keep &C., ourate time. This was long before the complicated machinery now in existence for manufacturing was ever thought of. It was in the days of manual labor when the most intricate mechanism was hn- ished by hand. Failing in bis object after months of patient toiling, he gave up in disgust, aud exclaimed, What a fool I have been, trying to make my subjects all tbiuk alike, when I am un- able to make 12 watches keep the same time" There Is no doubt about the ! difficulty of making men intellectually go off on the same hair trigger princi- pie. and to expect to whip them all in- to line physically, is simply an impossi- bility. They are very much like watches. Some run along for years and keep their health. Some are in the do- mestic repair shop several times a year, and some are often in the big pawn shops of human life, the general or pri- vate hospitals. They are subject to cli- matic changes. An unseen microbe is often more disastrous to the constitu- tion than microscopical dust to a watch Did you ever see novice trying to set watch, that has stopped, going again {? Did you ever see a man laid up with backache trying to tinker himself back into good health? Did you ever try to catch an eel in bag of snakes? You might get it, but the chances are 100 to l. This is so with kidney disorders Tinkering, patching, mending and | piecing are useless, A waste of time Get down to causes. Even if you only l dislodge the enemy and force retreat, | you know how to attack him when he again becomes aggressive. It's no sign that watch even guaranteed won't go wrong again. Thomas Gillern, of No 446 Main St., Waterbury, Conn.,, like some of the watches that have passed through hIs fingers, last time, so to speak, and required cleaning and ad- Justing. Thomas probably reasoned that an unsound man was similar to an unreliable time-piece, and he took him. self to the repairer. He says: "Sit- ting at my work all day is very tiresome and hard on the back. Mine ached so that could not sleep at night. in fact, l could not lie on my back at all. A dark red sediment in the urine showed the kidneys were not working properly l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got Q box at drug store. I took them and they cured me. I am recommending them to my friends"

The Danbury Fair.

The Danbury fair closed late last Sat urday afternoon with an attendance of 5000 people. The total attendance for the week was over 4S.000 persons, which Is slightly below the attendance of last year. TAe increased price of admission, and busy factories could not permit em- ployees to attend the fsir more than one day, accounts for the diminished attend. ance.
 The fair itself has been a remarkable one in many respects. It has been the cleanest fair that has been given in Danbury in years. The number oi fakirs and side shows was less than usual. The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed the special attractions.
