WAYS OF THE CRITICS.

Now comes the time when our critics hie them gayly from country to town, from sea to city, from pastorals to plays.
 From distant California and Europe, from woods and mountains, from dells and wales, from poetic haunts to Ten derloin haunts, from nature to art young and old grave and merry, learn ed and fiippant, famous or obscure, they come.
 Hard working men are they in the winter time, needing a long holiday in the summer time, recuperation after toll.
 From September until May they get no beauty sleep. The devil, it may be truly said, is after them for nine months in the year.
 Wonder, then that they are virtuous and much better than their reputation. For it is the fashion to speak i'll of them. All sorts and conditions of &C., tors and musicians rail against them. Even the public for whom they labor gives them too scanty obeisance. There fore, once a year at least this journal places a wreath of laurels on their fev- cred domes of thought and applies 8 poultice of sweet words to their conks

TO TALK TEN HOURS.
4 Stratford Resident Will Then Sell
 S500 Lot for 80

A SAEaL4JE4 ENEEAIEuE hEA men sell
 $500 Lot for S30
 Stratford, Aug. 2s.-Thaddeus F. Peck of this town, an atheist. is to pay Rev. Royal Raymond. pastor Of the First Methodist church, at the rate of forty seven dollars an hour to listen to him expound his religious theories. Mir Peck is not 10 conclude his dissertation in one hour, but will talk for ten solid hours on a stretch. The pastor has &C., cepted and will listen for the ten hours 10 Mir Peck. A contract was drawn up by Attorney George W. Carey, one of the pillars of the church, and Judge of Probate Charles H. Peck, and has been signed by both parties.
 Rev. Royal Raymond. the pastor of the church, is now engaged in the cree tion O. a new building, and it has be- come necessary to acquire piece of land at the rear of the church. The de- sired land is owned by Mir. Peck, who is a chemist, and has an extensive labora- tory next door. The land is valued at about five hundred dollars.
 When Mir. Peck was approached re- garding the sale of it, he at once saw in it a chance to say a few words against what he deems the errors of theology and the Christian religion as it is preached. He has a theological system of his own, which may in brief be described as a consolidation of all sects and churches, which will teach nothing but ethical truths which may be demonstrated by investigation, and which comprise nothing of theoretical nature. Mir Peck delights in pro- pounding his views to clergymen, but has experienced some difficulty in get ting them to listen. When, however, Rev. Royal Raymond approached him to negotiate the purchase of the prop erty he said that the church could have the five hundred dollar property for thirty dollars if Mir Raymond would listen to him for ten hours.
 MT. Peck is well known in New Ha- ven and has relatives there. Several years ago he managed series of recre- ation tours.

mother" and daughter of Howard Will son, by her very clever acting, singing and dancing eaptiyated the audience. She is a child of eleven years, who, if she continues on the stage, has a very bright future before her. Bessie Mar lowe as Mabel Wilson. Towards wife, is seen at her best in this play. She has excellent dramatic capability. Louisiana Pugh as Cora Williams is very good, as is Little Muriella as Jes- sic.
 William T. Belfort as Howard Wilson is, as usual. excellent, and acted his part in a masterly manner. Frank Montgomery as Toto repeated his sue cess of last year He alone remains of the old cast and his retention was a wise one on the part of the manage ment Mir. Montgomery is well known in this city. being a brother of Mrs. Margaret Hosmer, of 113 Olive street. With his accustomed versatility he has improved the part of Toto until now it is one of the best in the play. Herbert Prior as Robert Curtis is worthy of special mention, as is Eliza Mason as Bridget James Grady as O'Reflly creditably appears as a kind-hearted policeman.

 Leonard Growers latest and most suc- cessful comedy drama, ''The Ministers Daughters" which will be presented at the Grand opera house on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week, is one of the best comedy dramas now be- fore the public and has received the highest praise, both from the press and public. The many dangers and pitfalls to which the young and innocent wage seekers are subjected, is carefully and skillfully drawn. Of course in the end, virtue triumphs and all ends well. The company which will interpret the drama has been carefully selected for their fitness to the parts to which they have been assigned. There will be a holiday matinee Monday, Labor day, and the regular matinee Wednesday,

Use OF Salt and Pepper.

Salt and pepper, as generally known,
are Of value in bringing out the flavor
of the food to which they are added.
That they have any value from health
standpoint is not 30 generally recog-
nized. You may know that lump Of
salt is good for horse, but you do not
stop to consider how important salt Is
for your own we'll being. In Eastern
countries the condiments, such as pep
per, are used in profusion in all foods.
Gastric troubles, common enough In
other countries, are conspicuously ab-
sent, and the free use Of pepper has
much to do with that fact. When the
stomach is out of order, as the common
saying is, "upset," it is in a state of
fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimportant thing and COM
mon sense the important in making
the sick well, is advocating the use of
pepper and salt, even in glass OF
milk. It improves the flavor to re.
markable degree, a fact you can prove
TO your own satisfaction by taking two
glasses Of milk-one in its original
simplicity, the other changed by the
addition Of q pinch of salt and dash
Of pepper; then sip little of each.
The chances are that you will prefer
the seasoned milk. Besides improv-
ing the flavor and overcoming the ten
dency toward fermentation, the pep
per will practically disable any mi
crobes that may be floating in the
fluids, thus the gastric juices will per-
form their perfect work of changing
microbes to food.

Good Country Roads.

It has been estimated that 5O0,0O0,.
600 tone Of farm produce are hauled
to market annually in the United States
and that the cost Of marketing 1t is 81
per tan, or Just about $1,000, 600, 900.
This Is not money paid out. but Is the
value Of the time spent by farmers
with their teams In marketing crops,
or what these men and teams would
have earned if they had been hired
for cash to do this amount of hauling.
The secretary of the farmers national
congress and the United States depart
ment of agriculture agree in estimat-
ing that about 80 per cent. Of this vast
amount, or $500, ,0O0, 900, would be saved
each year il farmers were able to do
this hauling over good roads.
This, then, is the amount OF the an
nual mud tax to which we have been
submitting, says the Cedar Rapids (Ia.
Gazette. Railroads, telegraps and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the States and subsidized by the gov
ernment, but nothing has been done
for the common country roads. Ihe
farmers alone have had to build coun-
try roads, without assistance from the
cities, from wealthy corporations or
from the state. Every citizen will
be benefited by the construction OF
good roads, directly and indirectly,
and every tax payer should contribute
his share to their cost. No wonder
the farmer opposes the good roads
movement, if he alone is to stand the
expense. He has rightly suggested
that he should be assisted through the
medium of state road tax, under q
system of state aid, as now employed
In New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts,.

BUSINESS LOCATION.
Hints for Young Men In Business.

Hints for Young Men In Business.
In retail trade the location is very
important matter. Trade centers
around centers. People do not like to
20 out of their way to buy things. An
inferior or small store in good loca-
tion is preferable in every way to a
fine, large store poorly located. Just
a little around the corner is not so good
as on the corner.
Two or three steps up Is not as good
as on q level with the sidewalk. A
rent of S4O0 a month on the main
street may look high compared with
$40 a month three or four doors from
the main street, but the rent is only
ten times as great, and there may be
twenty-five shoppers OIL the main
street for every one that passed up the
side street. A Boston dealer made
money enough IL little three-angled
room scarcely big enough for three
customers at one, but located on a
famous corner, to to build one of the
largest and finest business blocks for
which that city is noted. His rent
was $500 month, and his three cor
nered store of one hundred years stand
ing wasn't worth, apart from the lot,
as much as a good suit of clothes.
Larger sales, even though profits
are smaller, afford opportunities for
closer buying and nowadays when
the fixed prices of manufacturers and
jobbers are blown to the four winds,
the buyer gets the best bargain who
can buy the largest quantity and get
his bill discounted, In fact, in these
days of active competition when pro-
fits seem reduced in 60 many dire clions,
the buying of the goods is equally
important with the selling. The mer-
chant who cannot buy to advantage
might as we'll step aside and let the
large dealer have the trade. The old
maxim, goods we'll bought are half
Sold" is truer to day than ever before.
In opening up new business wait, If
necessary, until an excellent location
can be found. This is one-half the
secret of many an abundant success.
