A Frenchman says there are three powerful factors operating to destroy family life in the United States. These are sport, university education and the factory system.

 Australia is noted for its odd birds and beasts. All the evidences go to show that the Australian continent was separated from Asia at a very remote age, and that evolution has proceeded there upon lines somewhat different from those of the larger continents.
 The modern farmer is becoming a di- rector of machines. The scythe and the corn knife are relegated to the museum, the separators have changed the process of butter making, digging is done by machinery. and greater premium is placed upon brains and scientific economy.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1908.

The editors of the state press are beginning to see the Waterbury strike question in a different light as the days go by. We print a number of their utterances on another page, and 1t will pay our readers to look them over. The town has been placed in the wrong light in many instances during the past few weeks and the editors about the state are not slow to see this. They have come to the conclusion, at least some of them, that the powerful cor poration which is back ofManager Sew ell and Colonel Burpee is bound to win the strike on the lines laid down re- gardless of the people who pay the bills. If the managers of the company at any time want to be fair and grant the men conference the strikers are ready to meet them.

THE CAKEW.ALK ABROAD.

An odd piece of theatrical news con- ing lately from abroad is the announce ment of the success of the American cakewalk in Paris. Cakewalk and rag time music have been occasionally heard in the French city within the last year or two, but until very recent ly seem to have made no particular i'm pression. Now, however, the cake walk, as we say in this country, has really caught on," and the Parisians can hardly obtain enough of it. At the music halls some of the artists are giy- ing the cakewalk nightly, and there is report that the celebrated Jeanne Granier will introduce the step in her next play at the Gymnase.
 The cakewalk, in it's translation, however, as usually happens with such things, has undergone some changes. The most important is in the name. The Parisians call it the "bamboula, Y not having a very clear idea of~swhat our phrase "cakewalk" really means. They cannot understand with absolute distinctness the custom of American negroes to gather about large cake and dance for it as prize. Nor can they perfectly comprehend or initiate the peculiar steps which belong to the cakeWalk, and accordingly there is a sort of revised French edition, more dignified and more in the fashion of the old minuet. The music, nevertheless, is as far as possible preserved, and one writer 1ikens the melody to "a tune sung by an inebriated American be- tween two cocktails The Parisian composers expect to deal with this mel ody still further-to refine it and to give it that French touch which they say that at present it lacks.
 It is gratifying to note the success of so thoroughly American a musical product as the cakewalk; but, in the revision and amendments proposed, is there not danger that it may lose it's peculiar character and flavor? Natu- rally, the cakewalk will travel to Ger many and there it may be adapted to suit the taste of the Germans. with perhaps Wagnerian effects and embeI- fshments. It may alsc-go to Italy with alterations to suit the atmosphere, and to Russia and other countries every where treated to make it conform to local conditions and preiudices. Ulti- mately what is likely tosbe left of the American melody. now so definitely characteristic of the negro race in the south ?-BaItimor Times

more than one piece of money, so | have to let him take a. quarter. One day Bill Osborne tried to put off on him a ten cent piece with a hole in it, but Terry wasn't doing errapds just for his health, and he wouldn't stir, q step out of the shop until he got good dime.
 "They used to try all sorts of ways over there to fool him. At last Os- borne thought he'd try him on the short change trick, and one day gave, him nickel instead of a dime for change. They had. been fooling with Terry so much that he had lost all patience so when he found that they thought he was such q chump as to stand for the fiim-ham game, what do you think lie die? P
 s'Tool the butcher by the neck,s I s'pose," said the new travelling man.
 "No, mol" exclaimed Baldy, the land- lord. ''He ain't any of your common everyday biting dogs! What Terry did was this. He walked right out of the shop, hunted up Bill Wood, the dep uty sheriff, took him by the coat and led him into the butcher shop and straight llp to the man who had thought he could f1inl-fiam him out of his right change. Yes, sir, he did, as much as to say, Here! I want to arrest this fellow!'
 Well, the butcher knew what he meant and they don't try any of their jokes on Terry over there any more. Terry got his right change, and he marched home with his meat and his dime, and with an air about him that said as plain as words that butchers get up pretty early in the morning, but they'd have to get up a good deal earlier if they wanted to fool him! Yes sir, and-''

'That dog looks as if he might know something" said the new trav- cling man, who had just paid his bill at the Rowland house at Chester, N. Y., and was starting to catch his train. He referred to Terry, the Scotch-Irish terrier, who had come in with piece of Ike Edwards dog'a ear.
 Know something?" said Baldy, the landlord. II only, wish you'd men toned it last night and I'd have had time between then and now to tell you at least one-half of what that dog knows. Can't wait over a train and hear some of it, can you?'
 The new travelling man said he couldn't.
 Well" said Baldy, the landlord, you've got plenty of time to hear me tell you that one of the smart things about that dog is the way he goes to the meat market and buys things. Take liver, for instance. Whenever want a pound of liver ! give Terry quarter and tell him to go over to Bill Osborne's butcher shop and get it. He'd get 8 pound of anything else, of course, but just take liver for an instance. Bill knows what he wants, weighs him out the liver, gives him ten cents change, and back Terry comes with the goods. And he always waits for the change, you bet, and"
 ''But why don't you give him just the 15 cents, so he won't have to bother with waiting for the changer" interrupted the new travelling man.
 Well" replied Baldy, the landlord. ''I tried that once and Terry dropped nickel of it out of his mouth, and he'd never go after meat again with

It is the state, not Waterbury, that must pay the cost of military occupa- ton, which it is conservativeIy esti, mated may amount to $3,O0O for each day that it continues It seems to be the general opinion in Waterbury among those who cordially welcome the presence of the soldiers that half the numbe rsent would have been more than sufficient ito meet the requirements of the situation. Bridgeport Farmer.
 Why, bless your heart, MT Editor, it wouldn't require even half; one-quarter would have been enough. The soldiers have been rusting up for the want of something to do since coming here The only time "a detachment of soldiers would have been able to earn their sal aries was last Saturday night. That night will never come again, and we venture to say once more that the goings on of that night will never be repeated. We are all sorry it occurred. No man in the community foresaw it, and no body of men, unless it was an armed company of soldiers, could stop it once it gained headway. It is all over now, and the troops might as well be sent home, the men have been sleep ing on boards, long enough. Let them try feather bed or a woven wire mat tress once more.

--------------------- Dog with LRk@ Of San&e

A dog whose master had often taken him about the city in cabs was lost re- gently in a crowded part of town. After nosing about for long time, trying to find his way, he suddenly spied an empty hanson, and, rum ming after it, jumped in and settled himself on the seat. The driver tried to get him out, but he only parked and snarled. Then, seeing a name and address on the dogs collar, the man guessed he was lost and started home with him. When the cab turned into the street where the dogs master lived, out jumped the four-footed pas senger and ran joyfully up the steps of his home. The cabman followed and rang the bell. When the dogs master heard what had happened he not only paid the fare, but gave the cabman handsome present besides.

The attempt to arrive at2an interna- tional agreement for the maintenance of silver at uniform ratio of 32 to 1, says a Washington writer, is regarded ill official circles as the most important development of the past week. The depreciation and wide fuctuation of silver has resulted in grave loss to the Philippines. It has complicated the Venezuelan situation, making the pay ment of Venezuela's debts doubly diff cult and it threatens to ruin China if that country is compelled by the pow CTS to pay the indemnity incurred by has also suffered from the same cause and has now taken the most energetic initiative to secure the acceptance by the United States of the proposed plan. With this end in view, Senor Enr1que c. Creel has come to Washington to treat with the secretaries of state and the treasury. China has addressed a note to this government making a sim liar request and the United States is urged to use it's good otnces with Great Britain and France to secure their CO operation, which would doubtless be forthcoming, as their colonies are un- der the same disadvantages The pos sfbility of securing the acceptance of the plan by the United States was sug- gested to the foreign nations by the administration Philippines coinage bill which is drawn along those lines.

THE AETNA LIFE.

The Aetna Life Insurance Go of Hartford, Conn, publishes in another column it's fifty-third annual state ment. This shows that the business done in 1902 was one of noteworthy growth in every direction, and the re- sulting big figures put the Aetna Life as the leader among the great life in surance companies of New England.
 The total premium income for the year was the large sum of $1O,224, ,26O, and the total payments to policy hold CTS was the sum of $6,36SO99 Few realize how immense and wide ly distributed are the benefits which result from life insurance. Figures of disbursement to policy holders are read with interest, but they are so large that most persons fail to com prehend their significance But let one try to conceive what this vast, sum of $6,36S099 meant to the army of Aetna policy holders in 1902. Omit ting Sundays and holidays, there were about three hundred working days in the year Assuming that each work ing day consisted of eight hours. the Aetna Life paid to it's policy holders:
 Every minute, $44.21.
 Every hour, $2, ,653. .0O.
 Every working day, $21 ,227. .O0.
 Every week, $122, ,463.O .OO.
 Every month, $53O,676. .OO
 During the whole year, $6, ,368. .o99. co.
 The whole of the splendid sum was distributed from Maine to California. from the Lakes and Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico In most ir- Cfo tbn 4r :. actually needed it. It fell as a blessed hope upon many who, without it, would have been forced to accept the cold charity of the world. even for daily bread. It enabled many be- reaved widow to continue to live in comfort It provided education for children. It freed home after home from the bondage of mortgage This, summed up, makes a grand years work for the Aetna Life.
 The detailed statement of the com pany shows that the investments of the Aetna are conservahyely and wise ly made, and the abundant strength of the company is recognized by all familiar with financial matters. It's president, in fact as well as in name, is ex-Goyernor Morgan G. Bulkeley. who has given it's affairs his closest attention. When he. became it's head twenty-five years ago it's assets were about $25,OOO,O0O. To-day they are about $63, 100000. Under his manage ment the Aetna has developed into it's present great proportions, and it stands a proof of his and his associ- ates' large business and executive abil- itys

EagIe. Catching.

Methods of eagle catching are much the same the world over. Tn Nor way man crouches in hole in the ground. with his eye to an aperture commanding the bait, piece of meat placed within convenient reach. When the eagle settles on the bait the. hunter clutches it, drags it underground, puts his knees on its beak and breaks it's neck. The North American Indian uses a similar me thod, and the Greenlanders catch the sea eagle by turing it to a hole in the snow, iii which the hunter is covered up.Albany Argus.
