An Irishman had a blanket which was too short When he pulled it up under his chin. his feet were cold. When he tucked it Gown around his feet, he caught cold in his throat. He could not decide which part of his anatomy was the most important to keep warm, so he slept with both ends cold There are two ends to our busi- ness-the buying end and the selling end.

GARBAGE DESTROYER.
One Months Trial in Illinois Shows
 Satisfactory Results.

Satisfactory Results.
 Commissioner of Public Works Moore has finished the first months test of Evanston's new garbage crem- atory. The test has so far proved tine efficiency and economy of the plant that the Evanston authorities regard it as highly satisfactory, but the test will continue until the expiration of sixty days. when it will be accepted by the city if it meets the require mentS.
 The plant is an experiment, being the first one of the kind erected in the country. In the thirty days that it has been tested more than POO tons of garbage have been cremated and only four tons Of residue remain. One ton of coal incinerates ten tons of gar bage. The guaranteed capacity of the plant is twelve tons every twenty-four hours. During the test, twelve tons were consumed in eleven hours, with the furnace filled to three-ffths of it's capacity. It required only 3,4OO pounds of coal to incinerate the twelve tons of garbage.
 The furnace is so constructed that all obnoxious gases arising from the damp garbage are reconveyed into the furnace. This prevents the gases from escaping, and ir is so successful that there is no perceptible odor about the plant. Commissioner lIoore thinks that if the test proves satisfactory the plant will be q good investment from an economical standpoint as we'll as enabling the city to get rid of the old garbage dump. which has long been disagreeable and nie1iace to the health of the people of Evanston. = Chicago Chronicle.

A REMARKABLE INFANT.
He Is Two Weeks Old and Weighs
 Only Two Pounds.

Only Two Pounds
 Mrs Margaret Ellen House, of West Hartford, is happy mother. Two weeks ago she gave birth to baby boy that was so small that the doctor and all the neighbors said it could not live. But after few hours wait ing for the little fellow to breathe his last. Mrs House made up her mind that her babe would live. for notwith- standing all predictions to the contra ry she noted that the child was nice ly formed and apparently complete. But it was such q tiny thing! nap kin ring slipped easily over the little creature's head, and could easily have been forced over his body,
 After a day or two it was thought a good plan to see if it weighed any thing, and then William Earl House, who had risen greatly in dignity and commanded much attention, was placed in the scale and tipped the beam at tWenty-siX ounces. That was near " two weeks ago. and Master House mas continued to flourish. His eyes are now open and they are bright and black as jet Unlike fat babies this slender infant possesses remarkable activity, and moves around and sits up straight already. And the pride of his parents waXeth great. Mrs House particularly declares that William will live to be as big and great as the doc tor that made the distressing predic- tion in regard to his chances for life and thinks it not impossible that he may some day be president. Williams s weight is now two pounds, and. on ac- count of his diminutive size. he is be- ing brought up on condensed milk. Any one desiring to see this ''teenie-weenie" creature will be welcomed at the home of Mir and Mrs House on Layake ave nue at West Hartford.
