NY YEn THE GREAT M AT nIh BRAIN,
 NERVE AND Al V A A BLOOD FOOD

FOR BOTH SEXES.
 Neurlif is the perfect product of late scientific experiments by a noted French nerve special ist, whose wonderful discoveries were brought prominently to the notice of the French Acad- emy of Medicine, and subsequently used largely by the profession of Europe. It contains the principles upon which depend the proper nutrition of the nerve and brain cells and con sequently nerve force, brain equilibrium and general vital energy. Under it's use the red corpuscles of the blood increase, the nerve and brain cells are built up and all the mental, ner- vous and physical functions energized. It does not derange the digestive functions like other nervines, and is therefore the ideal nerve tonic. For sexual neurasthenia, whether due to old age or other causes, whether in men women, it is almost specific. It restores energy quickly and permanent1y. It is the greatest known restorative for use in the con- yalescence of any disease, in Phthises, Hip joint diseases, Scrofulous conditions, Neuralgia, Rheumatism Anenia, Chlorosis, Sexual debil- ity, Chronic Malaria, Ataxia, Diabetes, Addi- son's disease, Alcoholism, Morphinism and all forms of nervous complaints. Prepared in tablet form, convenient for regular taking. One box $1; four boxes, sufficient treatment to cure ordinary cases, $3.50. Sold only by

How to Make Potato Nests.

Lattice potatoes are an excellent ac- compartment to the fish course and aft CT few trial efforts are easily prepar- ed. Wash and pare the potatoes and let them stand for time in ice water. Cut them into very narrow strips, throwing them into ice water as they are cut. Then drain and thoroughly dry enough to pack into strainer which is about the size of a teacup and force into the middle of the potatoes a smaller strainer. Fry this in deep, very hot fat. When a golden brown, remove the two strainers and stand the potato nest on soft brown paper. Re peat the process until there is a nest for each person. Before serving place them on tin in the oven to heat. Fill the nests with fish a Ia reine and serve on bed of creSS.

FOOD VALUES.

Garlic, leeks and olives stimulate the circulation of the blood.
 Beets and turnips keep the blood pure and improve the appetite.
 Too much meat and too few vegeta- bles make up the average diet. Health depends on continuous variety.
 Baked potatoes are digested more easily than boiled potatoes and should therefore be preferred by dyspeptics
 In cases of anamia cabbages and spinach are distinctly beneficial. Spin ach is also almost as valuable as lithia water in it's effect on the kidneys.
 Tomatoes are thought in India to be a preventive of cholera. Like endives and water crosses, they stimulate the healthy action of the liver
 A diet of nothing but celery is said by some physicians to be sure cure for both rheumatism and neuralgia. Free use of this vegetable is always recommended to rheumatic patients.
 Just after the battle of Fort Donel- son General Grant is said to have tele. graphed to Washington that he would not permit the army to move till 40 wagon loads of onions that had been promised to him should arrive. Onions are essential to the army mess to make pork or beef palatable, but they are also an admirable cure for sleep. lessness and indigestion everywhere.

many Irish Jews, but when you come across the real thing-a genuine Irish Jew-he is a meaner, more obstinate, narrower minded. avaricious and grasping person than is the simon pure Jew born within the walls of Jeru- salem itself.
 But why should MT. Brown refuse to acquiesce or what substantial req sons can he advance for obstinately holding out against all the other mer- chants in the city in this matter? Surely it cannot be because he is so grasping as to want or feel the need of the few pennies of profit of each Tues day evenings sales. He possesses all ready a fortune, and he cannot live years enough in which to spend it or make use of it for any personal needs. He even hates so much to endure the thought of relinquishing at death any part of it, that many give that as his reason for never raising up nice family of children to inherit it, for their comfort in his declining years around him would constantly impress on his mind the distressing fact that death would upset his own title to vast fortune and in favor of those he had raised up as a father to be his heirs. Being thus a tree-with lot of bark, but no branches or leaves at tached-he devotes none of it to pres
 ent charities. He does not even come rd Iryifh Inc %< pay off the Parsons creditors, and save in this way the reputation for honesty in life of his brother-in-1aw now dead. He does not help his sister, Mrs. Par sons, to do so, and no one has yet heard, so far as is known, of his brotherly advice to her that even she pay her husbands (and possibly her OWn) creditors out of her own ample and comfortable estate. Hence, with no heir, with little or no public spirit, with a dead brother-in-law, banker in a bank established for him by his own father, who died owing hundreds of depositors and people too poor to af- ford the loss, with old age reaching out to claim him, and with an immense estate-paying on it by the laws com pulsion, the largest individual tax of any of our city's inhabitants-why, in the name of conscience, justice and right, he can justify himself in refus- ing to his own clerks the few scant hours of each Tuesday evening at their homes, at the theatre, or in improv- ing recreation, when every other mer- chant grants them willingly such re- spite from work-it is impossible to guess. Certainly it is not because he loves Tom Conlon so we'll that he wants to help Tom out in his lonesome bullishness and off-oxishness.
 But men are queer sometimes, and especially as they grow old and richer.

even tyrannica1 and unjust, means bread, of which little is better than none, and no employment means star vation. The servant, therefore, if the capitalist is unmerciful in his require ments, is not usually in a position to make demands He can only use as a remedy a strike, jointly with his fel- low servants in the masters employ, and a strike, even when it secures the emlpoyer's concession, is a hard rem edy and compels the striker to endure all the depths of deprivation of the ne cessities of life while the strike lasts. A strike, too, from the nature o1 the case, can in any event be far more easily endured by the employer of labor than by the men employed. The for mer can lie back easily for a time on his accumulated resources while the latter must be helped by an association of workmen, of which either he is a member or composed of laborers in the same line as himself, or, as the only other alternative, go hungry and naked. The servant has no resources in such a case, to support him and tide him over till his demands are com piled with. Hence, as stated, the de- mands of servants are not very often made on their masters, and when they are made, they are so clearly just and right that they should be listened to and granted without a second thought. Labor is honorable, or should be; not Aservile. The employer of labor, wheth- CT manufacturer, merchant, contractor, builder, painter, mason, or, of any other calling, is indeed blind to his own ulti- mate interests, if he fails to recognize the real honor and honesty in his workmen's labor, and if he prefers to make his employees of any kind merely his slaves. There can be no intelli- gence in slavery, and out of slavish con- ditions intelligent labor cannot be said to exist. And, too, it is the experience of the business world without eXcep- tion, that capital becomes really and healthily productive only when it gives just employment to free, intelligent la bor. Slave labor has never any chance in competition with free and intelli- gent labor. Why, then, is it not for the benefit of our merchants to have and employ intelligent clerks? And how can they best secure, in their in terests, intelligent and satisfied clerks The answer is clear. By gladly con- ceding those things which intelligent service in their employ justifes. And this is exactly what the Tuesday even ing closing movement means, and noth- ing else. All employers of labor should, for their own good, be humane and reasonable and just

How to Treat the Lips.

The lips should never be rubbed with strong scent, such as eau de cologne or vinegar or lemon. Friction is also very bad for their well being. Lips may be only pale pink, but if they are smooth and soft they will look at tractive. Rouge is also very bad for the lips. Some women have a stupid way of ssbiting the. color into their Iips'' Not only does this unwise prac- tice make the skin very sensitive, but it also thickens and swells the lips till they lose all charm.

The Two Off-Oxen.

In the Tuesday evening closing ticle, and the success of the Clerk $ union in obtaining from all our Water bury merchants, with practically no hard feelings and in the kindest spir- it, this concession which they so much desired, they met with opposition, of the most dogged, unreasoning and de- termined kind, from but two dealers, who not only refused to do as all other merchants had agreed to do, but in spite of every consideration brought to bear on them in favor of Tuesday night closing, still keep open their two stores on that evening and announce their determination to continue to do SO These two storekeepers are Rob- ert K. Brown, dry goods merchant and Gonlon Bros., in the same line. MT. known as Curran's, before the Cur ran's removed in part to New York, and, as we understand it, disposed of their stock and interest to MT. R. K. Brown It will seem a little odd to Waterbury shoppers to find our mill lionaire fellow citizen, MT. Brown, in his approaching old age, keeping dry goods store and selling calico at to 10 cents yard and tin pans from 1 cent upwards; but this is an age of wonders-as well as a wonderful age. Charley Miller is still at the same busi. ness, has apparently grown rich at it, will doubtless be a dry goods dealer all the rest of his life, and yet he is so really lousy with money that in his testimony the other day in one of the many Randolph or Cloves cases, he could not remember the name of a man to whom he paid a couple of years ago a check of over $200, ,00O, but which has netted him since in interest and dividends an immense sum, and added slyly as a reason, that he "drew checks that he was unable now to keep track of them at all.'' Perhaps MT. Mi1ler's success at dry goods has made MT. Brown lie awake nights until he could increase his own immense bag ot
 
 shekels by "embarking in the same enterprise" Whether this is so or not, it is Mr. Browns business. It is enough to know that he is now busily measuring tape for the public, selling 50-cent shirts, and gents hosiery at three pairs for a quarter.
