 Moths do not like printers ink. and there is no more secure way of dispos- ing of winter clothing than to pack it away in newspapers.

 Women who have ruddy complcyions should bear in mind that the light green now So fashionable is not suited to them, because 1t is color which has the effect of producing an over- heated appearance. 4 delicate green. on the other hand. is favorable to pale blonde comnlexions because 1t imparts a rosiness to such complexions-red it's complimentary color, being reflected upon the green.

Republicans are still hammering on the idea of throwing the responsibility of choosing the route for the Isthmian canal upon MT Roosevelt. Their latest move in that direction is brand new bill, introduced by Senator Spooner. IL authorizes the president to buy the Panama outfit, at the price named, if he considers the title valid, and if not, to proceed with canal over the Near agua route. The senate committee on inter-oceanic canals will next week begin hearings on the canal question, which will probably continue until the committee sees It's way to getting ac- tion upon any report 1t may make to the senate. That will not be until leading republican senators cease their enorts to obstruct canal legislation.

HARD LUCK. INDEED.


 The retired athlete was displaying his trophies to a visiting friend and recounting tales of the various con tests in which they were won.
 'You seem to have had very suc- cessful career" remarked the visitor. Evidently you never threw race.'
 "No. always tried to win,'' re- turned the athlete But" he added, "I came near doing 1t on one occasion.'
 Tell me about it,' said the visitor.
 The athlete opened n drawer and took from it a slip of paper which ha laid on the table before his friend, ''You see Tnm' he began, this Is 8 trade contract ealing for credit to the amount of S100 on a piano. It was do mated by piano firm to the managers of society picnic which was held some years ago. and put up by them as first prize for fiye-mlle bicycle race. the second prize being $25 gold medal l entered my name for the race. but found to my dismay that the contract required the expenditure of $200 more to secure a $500 piano. did not possess S20o, so I resolved to ride for second place.
 "At that time I was enamored of a dashing young woman. I never dreamed of seeing her at the picnic. but just before the race was called. as l was riding slowly around the track, who should approach me, in flutter of white and pink, but Miss Daisy Walton.
 After few words of greeting sine exclaimed, No, Al, you must win this race-the only event in which l am in terested. I've brought along host of friends who have heard of your prow- ess on the wheel, and I look to you to uphold your reputation
 T modestly replied that I would do my best. I forgot my resolve not to win, under the influence of her bright smile
 ''At the crack of the pistol got off ! in fourth place and waiting until two of the leaders coilided and the third got winded, I assumed the lead. which I easily maintained till the finish, Fred Wilson coming in second. My club mates insisted on carrying me shoulder high. and thus I was borne past where Miss Daisy and her friends were seat ed. There second ovation awaited me. Still. I felt blue as I received my prize of piano of paper, while FTed's girl pinned on his breast a magnificent i gold medal"
 "Still." exclaimed the visitor "you have a fine piano coming to you, have 1 you nht?''
 Nav" returned the athlete. in a tone of disgust. "Tha company failed few months later so the contract is worth just it's weight in paper stock. " "Of course fT1ol1gh :" remarked thp ] visitor, chaerfnlly ''you are to marry the young lady who was the cause of it. She will make ln the loss to you a thousand times over"
 Make up nothing growled the ath- lete. "She met another man that day while was breaking my neck for that piece Of paper and they were married six months later. Chicago News.

Everybody who has Yankee blood in bis veins must understand the ifnpa- tience of our burned-out friends down at Waterbury to house themselves and get back to business again. 1t com- mands our sympathy, as the indomlta- ble spirit behind it commands our ad. miration. But the long run is to be considered in these matters. Water bury's calamity-whiGh might have been so very much worse-will be Wa terhury's opportunity. If she lays the lesson of it to heart She does not want any mora such fires In the busi- ness district: she should not take any avoidahle chances on them still loss invite them and nroyide tha fuel for them. It is now in har nawcr to erect there a group of hrild:nQs that shall ba SO many strnngho'ds and citadels a9ainst ffra-such a group of no other New England city of her size, or of twice or thrice her size can show.

This last metaphor is extremely ancient. by tha way. Horace refers to Rome as 2 ship at sea, and Plutarch Says the Del phic oracle referred to Athens In tic same way. A Tamil saving embodies like metaphor. ssThe soul IS tlle shin reason is the helm. the oars are the souls thoughts. and truth is the port '' An old collection Of English proverbs contains this one: ssThe tongue Is the rudder of our shi5.''

HEARD IN PASSING

The biggest things or the season are the Sehley oyations, but Mir Roosevelt doesn't appear to have heard of them.
 Democrats would ask nothing better than that the votes of republican sen ators be cast for that proposed salary grab Of $2,500 a year for senators and representatives.
 Ignorance Of American affairs is the natural aid expected thing ameng even prominent English newspaper writers, but the limit would seem to have been reached when one of them. contribu- tor of the London Saturday Review, refers to Senator Teller as .Mr Sena- tor Tell of the United States house of elected lords"
 Many prominent ladies, who have been compelled to submit to insults under the present customs rules and regulations. when returning from Flu rope, have sent petition to MT Roose- welt asking for changes, and charging that the present state of things is con- ducive to falseh0od on the part of re- turning travellers or to bribery of United States officials.

WILDER WANTS QUIET.

President Cantor of Manhattan Dor ough?'' asked a wee bit of man. as he walked into the office of MT Coo gan's successor yesterday.
 :" ! es, of course. just eantered down to see you-forgIve my little joke. I'm a humorist, and even when not working at 1t try to keep in train ing-about an important subject, to wit. myself.
 ''I burrowed in here-a again pardon my irrepressible humor, you see it's really hopeless caseLto ask if you would permit Wilton carpet to be laid in the street underneath the win- dow of the chamber for which I pay rent to slumber in. but, alack. do not.
 s'Now. MT Cantor you are somewhat of Joker yourself-tut. tut. don't deny 1t. You belong to the Greater New York democracy-and you appreciate that we bumorists need, absolute quiet when thinking up jokes. You find it so in politics. do vnil not? The num- Der of jokes that have been driven out of my mind just as if was about to cltnch them. bv the rumbling of wagon wheels and tho clink of horses hoofs as pafana clad.

Now man can't think uD Jokes with the purely mechanical nrocess of a hen laying an egg. and jokes are worth more than eggs by the dozen. even at the prevailing high price of epgs. I'o De frank with you. I am forced to fall hack on the cold storage warehouse and use last years humorous stories all because of the internal din in my street.

The Democrat sincerely hopes that our real estate owners, as well as the men who have charge of them, will not take advantage of the present calamity to double their rents. Business is busI- ness, but why should man be asked to pay double price for something just because he has been unfortunate enough to be burned out, and finds it necessary to get in somewhere even al an advanced price? Many people who denounce monopolies and trusts are willing, 1t seems, to use trust tactics when 1t benefits their own pockets. Give the burned out merchants a fair show

This is the third day after the fire.

This is the third day after the ire, and already q great amount of WorK has been accomplished in the way or clearing away the debris. Owners or buildings and storekeepers generally in the burned-out district were out bright and early this bright morning directing the work and giving what ever other assistance lay in their power. If the people of the outside country who have offered sympathy and assistance could but witness the work they would realize that what they have said about us is true, ana that Waterbury pluck and energy will come to the front and put the business of the city back where it was in short time The people of Waterbury should feel grateful. and we know they do, for the kind words and acts of the people of the surrounding towns and the country at large. If Waterbury people were s'fleeing to the hills" Sun- day night, it can be said that they have returned, and are busy as bees, and will not falter until their lines are thoroughly rebuilt.
