CIGARETTES AND WHEELS.
Alleged Incrcafe OF Smoking Amcae
Women Who Rids ls!cyclcs.

The statement that the sale of cigars
and cigarettes is steadily decreasing is
not borne out ] g the government sta
tistics, says the New York Sun. For the
ten months Of the fiscal year ending
April 30, 1896, l;,e cigars manufactured
for home consumption only in this
country numbered &,5O5,2Oo, ,4s,, or IN
increase of 6s,A5 ,75t over the last fiscal
year. In cigarettes al even greater ir-
crease is recorded, the total product for
the first ten months for home consun,p-
tion being 8, 3;E, 300, or an increase
OF 617,so4,4so. Consequently the state
mcnt of a decrs>,se. which was nttrib-
c1etl to the bicSs'lc, is false.
AS n matter OF fact, there has been
great increase IN cigarette smoking
through the posTilarity Of the bicycle.
This, it is stated. is due largely to Gig
arette smoking.hy women. who, very
many of them, are well equipped with
tiny cigarette cases, cigarettes and
matches. A firm making high-gradc
cigarettes is nov turning out more
cigarettes specially adapted to tho
taste of women than for men; and the
number of special private brands, bear
ing the name and address, or crest and
motto of the customers, is increasing
daily. Some women bicyclists now
hand out cigarette bearing the name
in place of q visiting card. Some of
these private brands made for New
York women cost five dollars per 100.

There are q gsod many birds whose
strength Of win F4is sufficient to strike
pretty. hard lSa.;Iss + ,appbl of bewllder-
ing q man, ii several of the birds at
tackled him at once. Some birds depend
on their wings as weapons TO be used
in the duels for sweethe1rts.
Forest and Stream told some years
ago about an owl whose wing was
broken by dove it had sought to cup
ture nnd make meal of.
A correspondent OF the National
Druggist tells OF his first surgical case
in the state OF Arkansas. A market
hunter on Swan lake, near Shawnee
Village plantation, was hunting at
night with a light, when n band of
swans, bewildcred by the fire, came
flying that way. The hunter, who was
in little piroguc, threw up his arms
to save his head, and the left ono was
struck by the wing Of bird, and both
the uln;l and the radius Of his forearm
were broken.
The Sun recently told OF Port Jer-
Wis farmer who was knocked from .
tree by flight Of wild geese during .
fog, and Forest and Stream has several
times III the past 60 years told about
men who were daZed by birds flying
against their heads, partridgcs (ruffed
grousc) being the principal offenders.

King Humbert, in the name of him
self, of Queen Margherita, and of the
princes of the royal family of Italy, has
given to the government for the fam.
lilies of the dead and wounded soldiers
in Africa the sum Of 100000 francs.
This sum is to be distributed without
distinction between the Italian and the
native soldiers, who fought side by side
against the Abyssinians. King Hum
bert has also expressed his intention Of
furnishing, if necessary, another sum of
100000 francs, in his name and that Of
the queen, to be divided among the
wounded.

SILVER IN a NUTSHELL,
Free Coinage of Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price.

Their Price.
Did you ever stop t o think what would
be the result if the government should
by legislation determine that ordinary
building bricks two by four by eight
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for one dollar each and
should arrange to have them so stamped
in any quantity free of cost to the per-
sons presenting them3
Under such circumstances the price
of building bricks would at once ad-
vance to $1,000 thousand, for if they
could be "coined' without cost the
bricks 'uncoined" would be worth Just
as much as the "coined" bricks.-one
dollar each. But did it ever occur to
you that it would not be an advance in
the value Of the bricks, but Il decrease
in the value of the dollars, which would
thus establish {; new "parity between
money and property" that under such
\ system $1,000 would be worth only
1000 bricks; that that 1000 bricks
would exchange for no more commodi-
ties or labor than it does to-day, and
consequently that $1,000 would mean
no more to US than 1000 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what COM
modify and what amount Of that COM
modify one dollar shall be, but it must
leave it to the laws of comparative sup
ply and demand, cost Of production,
ETC., to determine what the value of that
commodity shall be. It may declare
that brick shall be dollar, in which
case one dollar will be worth whatever
brick will exchange for. 1t may de-
clare that 25.S grains of gold shall be
dollar, in which case one dollar will be
worth whatever 25.s grains of gold will
exchange for, or it may declare that
412k grains of silver shall be dollar,
in which case one dollar will be worth
only what 412h grains Of silver will ex-
change for, the same to-day as 5o.3 cents
in gold, or, "giving the debtor the OPP
ton" as to what dollar he shall use
with which to pay his debts, 1t may de-
clare that each of these three shall be q
dollar. in which case one dollar will be
worth just as much as the least valuable
of the three, which under present con-
ditions world he the brick.-L. Carroll

London Meat Inspectiou,

All meat that is declared unfit for
food by the official inspectors in London
is Immediately removed to the con-
dcmned meat shed in the Central mar.
ket at Smithfield. Here is a series OF
tanks made Of thick slate, and each with
a capacity of 600 gallons. The meat Il
first slashed and disfgured, and then
subjected to 4 chemical bath which has
the effect not only of discoloring and
de''dorizing it, but also of stopping de-
comDositiOn.

Cycles and Railroads.

A London correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, in speaking Of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntidc holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al
most wholly made on wheels. On Whit
Monday it was impossible to hire or
even buy bike in London. The rail-
ways begin to feel the effect of this form
Of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. AT the
same time the rush for bicycles was q
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies, however, did
less enjoy than their fugitive customers.

THE ANNUAL SALE AND SUPPER A GREAT
 SUCCESS

The annual sale and parish supper giv- en by Trinity Guild was held in the par ish room on Wednesday afternoon and evening and was complete success from every point of view. It was the most largely attended of any similar affair held in many years, and it's success was due to the spirit of general cooperation oD the part of the members of the parish and to the generous response from al- most everybody, including our many summer visitors. Three supper tables were spread and filled several times. One large Itable of fancy articles was com pletely stripped of it's beauty. Two at tractive booths were built on one side of the room, one for the fish pond and the other for the home made candy, and both were soon emptied of their contents. The gross receipts amounted to about $l75, and the net proceeds are more thar $l60.

IT WILL BE A BOOMING SUCCESS.
 The time for holding the second annu- al fair of the Newtown Agricultural So- ciety is fast approaching. The dates are September 2S, 29 and 30. The outlook for holding a big fair Is very promising. Last year it was conceded by all that the exhibition of cattle was the largest shown at any fair in Connecticut and by offering liberal prizes the managers hope to merit bigger exhibition this year. As spec- ial prize the directors will give 8 hand some solid silver cup for the largest ex- hibition of oxen and steers owned by any firm, corporation or individual. Full par ticulars will be given in premium list.
 The horse department will receive spec. ial attention. Nearly 5000 will be offer ed for speed contests. No one in this community will concede for a moment that the fair should be allowed to deter iorate. On the contrary all desire that 1t should progress and if they help it, will be proud of it's success.
 The fair is an exhibition for the people and by the people and all the people should assist.-[P. H. Mccarthy, Secre- tarv.

Continuously at a good thing and success will follow. That is what We do with our White Loaf Flour and Baking Powder; also Teas and Cofees. It's a fixed fact that there is no flour like White Loaf and that our Teas and Colfees take the lead and once used always used.
 Some years ago it became the fad to con- demn all food save the plainest and to cry down Tea and Coffee as drinks so detrimen- tai to health that their persistent use was little short of suicide. The more enligh- tened science of the present day however has demonstrated that many of the richer foods which were positively forbidden, con- tain elements conducive to health and has proved beyond all doubt that Coffee and Tea are beverages which may be used with marked benefit to our we'll being.
