WOMEN AS .x1cKERs. j
Go Aboat IL to obtain the Beat Resu1fn.

The women of America need no ad- vice from anyone on moral questions, as witness what the power of women did in southern state campaign against congressman who had been proved of unfit character to represent an upright body of people, and later what women did in a national fight against western congressman who had reckoned their power so little that he even attempted to take his seat in congress in defiance of public opinion. Every body admits that these two instances represent a fight Of two men against the women of Amer ica, and who won? That shows what women can do. and it has never been alleged that in either instance any woman went outside her womanly sphere, or was unw0manIy in any eff fort she made in the cause of pure representation and good government, says the Saturday Evening Post.
 A senseless and ridiculous system of "kicking" against everything and everybody is not urged. The chronic complainer is a nuisance to himself as well as to his neighbor, although if we were forced to choose between the chronic 'kickere and the chronic lamb of citizen, who bears all mu- nicipal injustices patiently, and who meets all attempts at reform with the watchword: Don make fuss about it." we would choose the kicker"

CIRCUS OF TRAINED PLEAS.
Insects That Were Trained to Per- form Various FeatS by Yenrs
 of Patient Labor.

There is circus now giving per formances in Germany in which the actors are ordinary heas They walk a tight rope, draw, drive and ride in chariot, do series of dances and other marvellous things.
 It cost years of patient labor and thousands of dollars to. train the lit- tie things. but 1t was accomplished at last, and what they do fills the on- locker with utter amazement. Their most wonderful performance is their dance, and this was the most. difficult thing to teach them. The first thing to do was to break up their habit of hopping, and this was done by harnessing them in wire as fine as the thread of a spiders web, by means of which they were suspended so that only their hind legs touched the floor. After few weeks of this treatment they lost the tendency to hop, and were then trained to dance.
 The harness used when they draw the chariot, says the Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune, is made of the same fine wire, and the most delicate in- struments and the most delicate touch are necessary in all the train ing.

HOW NUD-DAUBERs BUILD.
These Solitary Wasps Are Clever Idt- ale Masons and Construct
 Some Neat Nests.

An interesting tenant of the farm is the mud-dauber, the best known of the solitary wasps, whose nests are found stuck to the rafters in the attic and outbuildings, or to a nail in the wall or in an old coat sleeve behind the door. She places several cells about an inch long side by side or on tiers one above another without any regard to regularity. As she tolls she sings squeaky little solos in high key which sounds like tiny circular saw as it issues from piece of hard wood.
 The moment the industrious little mason has completed the cell she sets about to fill it with spiders, all of the same species, of which it takes IS on an average. On one of. these an egg is deposited which soon hatches into grub and Immediately begins to devour the feast of para lyzed spider. When it has eaten all, it spins a dark brown covering for itself which is about transparent. At the proper time it breaks through the walls of it's mud house, says Country Life in America, and proud ly jerks it's pretty stee1-blue wings with the same graceful firt as did mother while she was busily engaged. with iler nest building.

Greasy has been compara- lively unknown vaudeville writer so far as Waterbury is concerned, but he will be a favorite henceforth, judging from the incessant laughter and the lively applause that were extended yesterday to his original little comedy, ssThe New Coachman.'' as played by Louis A. Simon. Grace Gardner and company at the Jacques. The comedy ifs a very funny one, treating of col sIege football celebration, and just teens with racy dialogue and button bursting situations It is exceedingly well played by Mir Simon, Miss Gard ner and their associates. MT Simon's spictHre of callow college youth being particularly 1ifelike and effective. The Sketch was winner from the start and makes a headIiner that ought to prove immensely popular during this week Miss Rita Redmond, a singu- larly handsome young woman. intro duces an electric singing novelty un- der the name of "Diva Cata'' that is as attractive as it is unique, while Hume, Ross and Lewis have a 1aughable satire entitled "The Duke and the American Heiress."

Persons who are interested in the study of economic and social cond1- tons will find much enjoyment in the lecture that Miss Anna Dunlap of Boston is to deliver on Richard Wag- ner this evening at Polls.

Down in the coal mines there exists the latent possibilities for the highest mental concepts and creations of the imagination.

Mr.. Ballard was native of Augusta
and comes of family which has been
prominent in this vicinity for many
years. He was born Nov. %, 1928, and
at the time of his death had attained
the ripe old age of rs years. months
and s days. He was the son of
Ephrtim Ballard, who conducted the
old Cushnoc house for Il great many
years, and Augusta (WalD Ballard.
Capt. ballard early took Il liking to
the sea and when but Is years of age
he entered the United States Navy as
an apprentice. When he had been IN
the service for four years he was made
mate and he was promoted to gunner
IN 1S4I. He made his first cruise on
the Ohio and from the beginning of his
seafarinS life he made extended trips,
visiting all parts of the world. During
the Mexican War he served his coun-
try with credit. lie was especially
prominent at the Battle of Vera Cruz
where he did excellent service in land
ing ordinance. From the close of the
Mexican War to the breaking out OF
the Rebellion he was on various cruises
and was later assigned to the Brooklyn
Navy yard where he had charge of the
ordinance department. In theS Civil
War he was a participant in several
navel engagements and wherever he
was acquitted himself creditably. Al
the close Of the war he was again as
signed to the ordinance department of
the Brooklyn Navy yard and remained
until 1868. At that time he was given
a furlough for an indefinite period but
was still under orders. He was not,
however, called into the service after
that date and only left his home oc-
casonally to report to the department
at Washington. Nov. 2S, 1885 he was
retired on two-thirds pay having
reached c. years of age, the limit
placed by the department. Capt Bal
lard was a fine specimen of the naval
officer in the old days, of large heart
and most kindly sympathy with all
human needs. His stalwart figure, his
hatred of shams and hypocrisy and his
many deeds Of Kindness will remain
among those who knew him best ana
longest as Il most pleasant memory.

and was Il great admircr of Grover

Cobbossee and the Vacation Season.

Do not forget the children, during
their vacation. See that all are en-
abled to take Il trip once or more to
the lake and picnic a day on the shores,
or islands, of this grand summer re-
sort whose beauties and attractions
have been practically closed heretofore,
to not only most children. but to the
vast majority of the public. This has
been on account of the inconvenience
and expense of the trip. Since the
eIectrics have commenced to make
half hour trips and the fine steamer
CoDbossee makes her regular eX-
cllrsions. as advertised, around among
the islands, the opportunity for picnic
and family parties is complete and en-
joyable beyond any ones compre-
hension, who has not awaited them
selves Of it. For the sake of health
and pleasure these economical and m
expensive opportunities for breathing
in new life and vigor should be kept
before the public until they have be
come fully aware Of the fact that no
city has at its door a more wonderful
and picturesque lake than can be
reached by a half hour ride over one OF
the finest equipped electric roads any
state can boast of.
