Itlprovides for occasional festivals at which the peasants can show themselves in all their unique glory.-N. Y. Post.
 Many women are discovering that '1iv- ing on motor car" is most destructive of beauty. Moderate motoring, by im- proving health and the capacity for sleep, enhances woman's charm, but the hardened tourist type of 150 miles a day tans and coarsens her skin and gets crows feet round her eyes, her facelosas it's soft, womanly contour and gains hardness and determination.-Tat
 Switzerland and southern France are using their glaciers to turn their mills. At certain attitudes in various localities these mighty fields of ice and snow as they come booming down the mountain side melt into slush and water. This is now diverted into pipes and ducts and carried thousands of feet to the electric plants and mills in the valleys below. Hydraulic engineers lin France say that the water power. in the mountainous dis tricts of that country alone can produce electrical energy equal to 10000, ,00Q orse-power.--London Mail.

A SUCCESSFUL PLOT.
Opposition Only Famed the Fires OY Determination and George
 Became It.

"George is so forgetful. He :s als ways wondering what I ever could have seen in him ?' said the fair girl, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 George isn't the only one," re- marked Brother Bob All the fel- lows are wondering how you could eancy such blooming noodle"
 "Jane Storrs told me only yester- day." said Sister May, that the first example of good sense George has ever shown is in trying to get into our family. That was sweet of Jane, wasn't it?"
 eff he tries to patronize me" growled little Jim, "I'll hand him one in the neck ain't going to have any cheap guy like that mussin' up my hair"
 He's much too good for any of you," shrieked the fair girl, as she flounced to tho door. And I'll marry him now just to spite you all--you horrid lot of backbitersi"
 And she stormed up the stairway and slammed the door of her room.
 Whereat the three eonspirators winked and laughed. For they really liked the young fellow who liked their sister, and had taken this sure means to clinch the fair girls wayward fancy

PHONE GIRL SAYS ao.,,

 Crates on Sensitive Emrs.

1 The telephone girl Is progressive For yearsaard years in repeating num Der which. had zero included she woula always call 1t ought" For instance. i a subscriber called for twenty fou thirty the telephone girl would repeat, ''Two-three-four-ought" When som, subscriber who had & little feeling b compassion for the kings English which was being so cruelty murdered right before his ears, would gently ob ject and say: "Two-tour r-three-naught, the girl would again repeat, ought, and tell the subscriber to Took In tn, dictionary"
 But the world. moves, says the New York Herald. ]. The "naught" is com mencing to be realized in the most ex. elusive telephon0eircles. It could no be expected that the telephone gir. would surrender alla at sonce. She ha. fought for that ought too.long to drol 1t immediately, auds thus confess thai she had been wrong.
 So, while she has dropped the fought, ' she has taken up 70. instead. So now she repeats '2S4o in sthts rnarnsr,t two three-four-O"
 It is a splendid. victory forgI1nglish un. defled. Cptfnists cafltnow see dawnins that, glad day when nfthe telephone giri will say "naught right out loud.

Aren't you old enough andSintelli- gent enough, democrats, to do your own thinking?

By your votes show that you know a trick worth two of theirs.

republican ticket does not look like anything of the kind.
 Tn other places where something of this sort dlasfb eenaresorted tonboth par ties got. together and gave the people non-partisan ticket. Has this been done hepe1
 The party claiming for itself all the good qualities in the community has nominated n strong partisan ticket and wants everybody to stand behind 1t. They made.dtAa point to reach out for everything in sight without asking their netghbors to have part i'll tfse spells and in the face of this fact they have the assurance to come forward and tell the public that they have elim- mated politics from this campaign and hope the democrats will fall in line with them.
 Was there mo democrat SSdn sW ater- bury worthy of place on3 their ''non- partisan ticket? It seems not, though some people think that 1fethey meant what they are saying andtdidn't care to put man on who could be ohargedFwfth belonging to labor organi- zations they could have found him among the Frisbies, Leavenworfhs Weltons, Browns and others who have been identified with the ctty's interests from bhe Beginning and who could be depended upon to stand for right on all occasions. No, that wouldn't do Some office seeker would have to take a back seat and < he and his friends might forget their duty. and} assist in topphng the others over. The offices had to go to a, select fewrin lthesreplfb- Hcan party. It would not Sbe fair to ask it to make such concession las that for the welfare of the city. Sac riaces had to be made. but they should come from the democrats.
 Do you see the point? If the town went to the dogs the republican office seekers would not consent to run the chance of losing a man to save it. The first thing uppermost in their minds when they got together was to divide the spells among themselves and then start a hul1abaloo about the working man seeking to ruin Waterbury and issue a Campaign document to the ef- feet that dn order to save the city, it's homes and its institutions every one who wished to remain here should go to the polls and boost the favored ones into office. Is there any consistency in this? Is there the same unselfish- ness seen in the republicans of Water bury as we are told they have shown elsewhere? It is not at all likely that the public is so blind as to be fooled by such tactics on the part of men who claim that the prosperity of Wa terbury is in great danger and want others to make sacrifices for 1t, but re- fuse to do anything in that direction Themselves unless they receive as a re- ward all the fat jobs in the gift of the people.

A WORD WITH YOU VOTERS.

The Democrat to-day desires to say last word to it's readers before the battle of the ballots begins on Mon- day. Be an American citizen on that day and exercise your rights fearless ly and honestly. For more than 20 years this paper has stood for demo- cracy and. honesty in Waterbury. On the eve of every election, almost, we vice, and we are happy to say, judg
 ing from the many democratic vic tories, it has been followed on nearly every occasion. Waterbury is demo- cratic city and should be governed by democrats. Don't let smooth tongued
 editors or orators or blanherskites sprinkle dust in your eyes, or throw cloud over your intellects. This city is not going to the demnition bow
 VOWS no matter which party wins.
 The columns of the republican organs
 have been fairly reeking with the prophecies of dire things that will happen if the democrats win. Don't believe word of it, fellow democrats. The city will not suffer on fota. The democrats have capable, honest and trustworthy candidates who are worthy of your support, and if you allow the republicans to win this cleo ton through any false reason on your part, or silly whining on theirs,sit will
 be to your loss. The offices are what the republicans want. Have you no- ticed how those who attempted to kick
 little bit have been whipped into line? Haven't you heard how a cer- tain aspirant for aldermanic honors was pushed aside after he had cap tured a caucus week ago? Rumor has 1t that he wanted to be an alder
 man, but certain men whose positions are dependent on the vote of that body thought he was too weak a man and he was shelved. Say what they may about the welfare and good name of the city, the republicans have only one object in view around election time, and that is to capture all the offices in sight. The Democrat has no word to say against John F. Elton. but we be- l lieve and know that Attorney James M. Lynch is just as well able, and per haps better to handle the city's af- l fairs. and as he is democrat, and as the democrats have a. majority of the | 1 voters the office belongs to him. At | least if the voters do their duty he will 1 be our next mayor. Enough has been 1 said already to show his fitness for the position. All remains now Is for the voters to do their duty Do it fear lessly and do not be misled by any | false notion about the future welfare of the city. Show to these people who are trying to put ideas in your heads that you have brains of your own, and l that you are able to discern between right and wrong, between democrats and republicans; that you are in fa-
 vor of this city being governed the next two years by democrats; that
 you have faith in the democratic standard bearer, James M. Lynch,
 and electing him by a majority so de-
 cisive that no recount twill be neces-
 sary. This . is duty you owe to
 yourselves and to the democratic par
 ty. The Democrat feels confident
 that when the polls close Monday
 night every one of its readers will
 have exercised his freeman's rights by
 voting for James M. Lynch ito be the next mayor of Waterbury.

Birds Extinct fin switzerland.

Last year the Swiss government gave the cantons 10000 francs (s1 ,9s0) for the destruction of noxious animals, The sum spent in the cantons for this pur- pose was 4,00o francs ($7721. Seventy two otters, 1sS herons and 36S crows were destroyed. Tn the list published some years before we see the kingfisher, the water blackbird, the grebe and the fish eagle, but 1t would appear that these birds are now extinct in Switzerland.
