SOMETHING WRONG.

"A handsome new calendar came to this office yesterday" says the Ot- tawa Herald Tt shows large lahd- scape scene with green and red man milking a cerise COW beside pale blue barn at the top of an orange colored hill. A lavendar house sits, or stands, conclude at first glance that the pie ture is true to life, but the agricul- tural editor of this paper says it isn't. He points out that the man is milk ing on the left side of the cerise COW and he says no cow on earth, wheth- CT she is red. white, blue, muckle-dun or brindle, will stand anything like that. ."--Kansas City Journal

SHE HAD BROTHERS.
And So She Knew How to Deal With
 Young Man With Bad Tricks.

Young Man With Bad Tricks. The average man, 1t may be said, without exaggeration, is not fond of going to receptions. He's not Keen about standing around for an hour or two listening to gossip and striving not to look bored, and it must be a very good supper indeed that will reconcile him to the conditions. One Ingenious youth who particularly dis likes this form of entertainment receiv- ed telegram from his fiancee, who lives in another city, few weeks ago Just before he started to see the young woman. The message read: "Be sure and bring your dress suit. We go to reception tonight
 Great heayensi' groaned the youth. Only one evening ill which to talk With her and she wants to drag me to reception in those few precious hours. She hasn't a particle of senti- ment"
 Then crafty smile o'erspread his Iace, Tor he had an idea. Five min- tues later he was out of his office dnd III haberdashery buying the very gayest shirt ill the shop. It was all pink and blue and yellow, and at any other time the young man would have Scorned to wear it. He selected cuffs of different pattern and red tie. Then he went home and donned these purchases, completing his toilet with tho yeIowest shoes in his possession and tweed business suit. s'We1l see if go to a reception" he said mali ciously as he unpacked the suit case which he had intended taking with llin, and left it at home.
 When he arrived in the other city his fiancee looked at him wondering ly. Goodness, but you are gay," she remarked, q never saw you quite so gorpeous.''
 eFact is, I've been dressing too quiet Ivy the man replied with masculine mendacity. "One might as well be happy while he's young
 .'Yes, I suppose so, if pink shirts and red ties can make him happy" murmured his beloved. "How long will it take you to get ready for the reception?"
 sWhat reception?'' asked the man, with we'll feigned surprise.
 ..The reception at the Biddles' that we are going to tonight. I wired you about it.
 ssCoufound that telegraph office. 1 never got the message" groaned the man. (That was what he called dis sembling, and, perhaps, it wasn't any thing strOnger.)
 ssBut you have your dress suit with you?" queried the woman.
 ..No, I haven't I didn't have time to pack it, so I guess we'll have to stay at home tonight"
 Now this feminine had brothers, and she understood their idiosyncracies fairly well, so she looked her sssuitor' full in the face and he quailed, and she said, sternly. No, I shall go to the reception. It is quite the event of the season. You may take me to the house and come for me if you wish.'
 So that is what happened. For lonely hour and half the bright man walked up and down in front of brilliantly lighted house from which strains of music issued, and heard the of happy voices and the tin kIe of glasses, and saw his fiancee to brave men and what he sa1d about himself was all truth. The next day he came back to Baltimore sadder and wiser man, and now he never travels without his dress clothes any more than he would without his hat. His. sin had found him out Baltimore News.

soUsA AT THE AUDITORIUM.


 It will interest many to learn that Sousa, who brings his great band here for concert at the Auditorium on Fri day evening previous to making a tour of the entire world, has a new collec- tfon of encores for his present concert tour. These Sousa encores are as much a component pant of the Sousa programs as are the printed numbers themselves and the march kings au- diences have learned to expect and demand them with a prodigality only exceeded by the liberality and gra- ciOusness with which Sousa responds to such demands. He is constantly changing these breezy. jolly extra bits which he selects with rare Judgment and discrimination. Sousa possesses the knack of taking commonplace theme and dressing it up, washing it's face and smartening its frock," so to speak, until it becomes a gem of its kind. He never descends to musical banalities. however, and every Sousa encore, no matter how light, has an in- trinsic value to recommend it, aside from it's rendition by the premier band of the worlk Seats can be secured at the Sonnenberg music store on Bank street, prices being 50, 75 cents and $1.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES


 With so much comedy as makes up khis weeks bill at the Jacques. coupled with the several novelties that are added. it is small wonder that the at tendance continues satisfactorily large. s'The New Coachman,," as exemplified by Louis d. Simon. Grace Gardner and company. is a very funny skit and gives the Waterbury public some slight idea of how the college fratern- 1ty celebrate their footbah victories in this twentieth century. It is an act that anyone can see with pleasure and Ehere is fun in every line, situation and word of it. Rita Redmond is attract ing much favorable attention, too, for her unique electric singing novelty, and it is noticeable that admiration is so strong as to hold the applause until the finish. There is much enjoyment to be found in the remaining acts. which are furnished by Hume, Ross and Lewis. Talbot and Rogers, the La vines, Burrows and Travis, Kama mura. and Brown Brothers and Lillian Wright Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

ELECTRICITY A SUBSTANCE.
Generation Consists in Splitting Elec-
irons From Atoms.

From the London Electrician.
The generation of electricity" consists
in splitting off an electron from the atom.
The electron then produces stress in the
ether similar to that due to negatively"
charged body. The remainder of the atom
acts as positively charged body
though we do not know as yet whether the
positive charge is due to a special positive
electron or not. If it is, we have not yet
succeeded In isolating the positive cleo
iron, but it is supposed to be about ten
times heavier than the negative electron.
In any case we have here an elementary
negative charge Of about one-ten- billionth
Of the absolute unit and an elementary pos
tive charge of the same amount. These
elementary charges attract each other and
repel similar charges They can associate
with clusters of neutral particles. mega
tive electron thus associated with ordinary
matter becomes negative ion" and a
positive electron becomes a positive ion."
Conduction consists in the wandering of
positive ions down the potential gradient,
and of negative ions up the potential gra-
dent.
This wandering can take place In metals.
1t then produces heat by collision with the
field by the motion of the charges. In a
liquid the energy of motion is consumed In
the splitting up or ''ionization" of the neu-
trail molecules Every current of heat is
associated with a transportation of ions,
and here the whole field of thermo-electric-
ity Is entered. In the vacuum-tube ions move
with less restraint. Negative electrons are

of light, or something very nearly ap-
proa ching it, and where they strike upon
solid they produce explosive ether waves
Of remarkable penetrating power which are
known as Roentgen rays. Where they hit
gaseous particles they ionize them, and in
doing so develop great heat and light, thus
giving rise to- the whole fascinating vista
of vacuum discharges.
Nor is their wonderful activity confined
to the fields enumerated, for the whole
phenomena Of magnetism are based upon
the electron. Whenever an atom has a
high valenoy, suehtas iron, cobalt or nickel
1t appears that the free electrons which
constitute these ovalencies revolve around
the rest of the atom. These revolutions
produce whirls, In, the ether which are
known as magnetic displacements or
stresses, or Zines of force" and whenever

The enormous rapidity of the magnetic

'I gave her few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in short time all danger was past and the child recovered" This remedy not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the first symptoms appear, will prevent the attack. It contains no opium or oth- CT harmful substance, and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult.
