A NEW KIND OF BERRY.
One That Is New to the Credu1ouS and Conading Only, and
 a Fraud.

The newest thing in small fruits is the Arctic" berry. In parts of the west enterprising agents have been going about among the farmers exhib- iting attractive-looking berries pre- served in alcohol. They are about three times the size of a strawberry and with the color of an orange.
 every delicious" says the agent, who claims that it is brand-new fruit of extraordinary merit. He explains that it was obtained by crossing the strawtnrry> and the wild cherry, the huckleberry and various other berries. In response to orders he is willing to deliver a limited number of plants.
 Naturally, says the Detroit Free Press, orders in plenty have been forthcoming. But it turns out on in- vestigation that the new and won derful berry is nothing more nor less than the white mulberry, long fa- miliar and not greatly esteemed. In other words, the whole business is a fraud, and the exasperation of the vic- tins is rendered more intense by the fact that all the plants, which they had set out so carefully, are killed by the first frost

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
A Frenchman Who Was Credited s4 with Killing 3O,OOO venomous
 Reptiles.

It is not we'll known that certain parts of France are infested with poisonous serpents, against which warfare is waged by state-paid ser pent hunters. They are killed in thousands, and the price per head is 2hd. There was some time ago a famous serpent killer in the forests of Southampton, John Milly, who in 42 years of hunting killed more than 29,o0o vipers, says the London Tat tier. A Frenchman named Courtol, who hunted in the Loire district, can be compared to Milly, as he was credited with having killed 3o,o0o ven- omous reptiles. His only weapons were one or two massive sticks. As soon as he saw the serpent he ad- vanced and hit it violently, either killing or stunning it; with the sec- ond stick he pinned it to earth and cut off the head with huge pair of scissors. But along with these simple weapons Courtol possessed a thorough knowledge of the habit of serpents. He knew when and where to find them. In two days near Puy- a-Clermont he killed 230 of them, and not only did he kill the poisonous creatures, but he would capture them living when desired.

AN ARISToCRATIC HUBER.
The Variety Known as ssThe North srn Star' Is One of the Fairy
 Tales of Finance.

The romance of potatoes is but im- perfectly understood by the majority of those who eat them every day. Nor do they usually occur to the speculator as basis of operation. Yet the history of the variety known as ''rhe Northern Star" is one of the fairy tales of finance. 1t was brought out last year, says Lon don paper, by 8 grower in Markinch, in Fifeshire, who parted with few tons at the extraordinary price of 1910 a ton. To this rate, which works out at about ten shillings a pound, he religiously adhered. At this rate two pounds were purchased by firm of dealers belonging to Bardney, near Lincoln. From these two pounds they have this year grown 130 pounds, and are so pleased with the result that they have bought 0 quantity more at the rate of $ 500 a ton. Two other growers, MT. Kline, of Manham-le-Fen, and MT. Blades, of Epworth, purchased a ton at the same figure, and have paid more for subsequent consign- ments. After this the story of the King Edward VII. potato, which be- gan to sell at G1g los. ton and rose to $ 40, seems quite tame, though it would have been sufficient ly remarkable under any other cir cumstances,

MUSIC OF THE CUBANS.
1t Is Even Worse Than the Horrible Noises Made by the AL ... werlAn@.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer ence for such music as is made by band composed of a stamp-mill sort of crank piano, a pair of sugar kettle tom-toms and a man with a horse-radish grater called "giro'' and flat file with which to scrape it the combined outfit producing dis cordant potpourri that might easily dislocate the teeth of any self-respect- ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free Press. This example of music as the Cubans fancy it is even worse than the finger-drumming and wire-snap- ping musical murders committed in Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes chantantes. The lauded but lugubri- ous Cuban national hymn is best es- teemed when performed by one of these bands of inharmonic banditti, and the national dance, that monoton- ous combination of motions that sug- gests that the dancer is trying to shoo a flea off the small of his back and also go easy on a stone-bruised heel, can only be adequately performed to the music of these African agitators of cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin. The truth is the Cubans will have to learn music all over again.

RENTING STUFFED ANIMALS.
Merchants in the City Use Them to Make Display In the @HOli-
 day Season.

The trade in stuffed animals gets brisker with the approach of the hol- idayseason. "I don't mean by that" said a William street taxidermist, according to the New York Times, that we are selling more of them. We are not. We never do sell stuffed beasts in herds at this time of the year, but our renting list swells pro- digiously. People whose business re- qus'es them to use stuffed animals and bird as an advertisement generally want an extra duck or dog or bear added to their stock for month or two preceding and following Christ mas. A trademark of this kind of good quality costs anywhere from $5 to $75 and as those that are used mere ny as 'supers' are needed only few months in the year, it is cheaper to rent them than buy them outright. Almost every merchant in town, of high or low degree, makes an extra splurge at this season by exhibiting a polar bear or some other festive anil mal, consequently our rentals amount to rather nice income. Some sea- sons we do pretty thriving business with theatrical companies, also, but this year the drama seems to have be- come too realistic to rely on stuffed art for its, effects, and our orders for property fowls and quadrupeds have been few"

Under threat of an extra session the

Under threat of an extra session the members of the senate. have consented to the passage of some simple and in nocuous antitrust measures. These bills, they say, must be so simple as to provoke no lengthy debate and must receive the unanimous support of the republicans, which is tantamount to saying that they must be so drawn as to be incapable of thwarting the inten- tions or desires of thesatrusts.r4% The lengthy and sweeping bill brought in with much spectacular advertising by MT Hoar has subjected the venerable senator to nothing but ridicule and so upset has the old gentleman become that on Thursday he moved the pas sage of a bill which was enacted near lysa year ago and the senate, follow ing his lead, passed it.

One of the sharpest debates recent ly witnessed in the United States sen ate grew out of the effort of Senator Vest to have bill passed removing the duty on anthracite coal, in accord ance with the presidents message, re- ported from the finance committee. In terms made thrice eloquent by the fee ble condition of the speaker which would not permit him to stand with out the support of his desk, the sena- tor, for the second time in one week, pleaded the cause of the poor and needy. He begged his opponents for the sake of humanity to abandon par tisan considerations and pass meas ure offered ''by poor democrat" but calculated to tighten the hardships of the old and feeble and of little children who wept because of the cold. In heartless but forceful terms Senator Aldrich taunted the senator from Mis- souri with having consented to a 40 per cent duty on coal when the demo crats were in power, and MT Vest re- piled that, as the senator from Rhode Island we'll knew, that duty was ad- mitted to the Wilson bill because four democratic senators who held the bal ance of power were untrue to their party and made the 40 per cent duty the price of their vote for the bill. He urged the republicans to rise above the sordid consideration of vested inter ests and partisan policy and act for once solely in the cause of humanity, but his words fell upon deaf ears.

THE COMMERCIAL CENTER.

The commercial and financial center of the world is now no longer London, but New York, according to Brooks Adams in his latest book, ''The New Empire" When Pittsbmg, in 1897, succeeded in underselling all the world i'll steel, the worlds money center be- gan to move slowly from the other side to this side of the Atlantic Stimuli taneously the political center began to move to Washington, which is now fast becoming tho political. diplomatic and social hub of the globe. The so- cial life in Washington, this season, is no longer local, but national and in- deed international Washington is no longer the most uninteresting post for Europes great diplomats. but this capital is now being preferred by them. So attractive Is 1t that even our own rich people are going there instead of abroad. National scientists and artists are taking up their abodes there, to be joined very soon by their
 international brethren, for Washington Is capital that will have as good as the best in Paris, London, Berlin and Vienna. It is the city magnificent, to
 be the city beautiful. the house ot pleasure, the home of ideas, and yet lit must remain democratic. It should never forget that Thomas Jefferson the third presidenf of the United States, hitched his horse to the white house fence when he arrived there tt take the helm of governments. Success for January.

Wages are in many instances, says Banker Henry Clews, at the highest level on record and labor is we'll em- ployed everywhere, so that consump- ton is active throughout the country. It is questionable if single line of industry can be found that Is suffer ing from overproduction. A remark able statement of industrial activity is the statement that the United States steel corporation has orders on its books aggregating 5,347,000 tons, against 4,4o7, ,ooo tons the same time last year. The above was written be- fore Waterbury's trolley strike was in- augurated. Wages here are at the highest level but even at that many people wonder how the men have been able to live and support their families and dress as respectfully as their em- ployers and the position which they hold demand. Just think of many of these men working for IS cents an hour, and none of them receiving more than 21 cents. The wonder is that they have not struck long ago. Any reasonable man will, say at once that the men who run the trolley cars and collect the fares should have 25 cents an hour and at that with ten hour day the pay would only be $15 for a week The company can well afford to pay their help in this city decent wages. The men must be out in all kinds of weather, and at any time from four o'clock in the morning until after midnight, and must put in half or three-quarters of an hour more than the regulation ten to get ten hours pay. The visit of A. M. Young to Waterbury last evening should bear good fruit, and we hope to see all the old men back and the cars running as usual without delay. The president
 of this large corporation knows what
 days work is and what is fair com
 pensation for it. We feel sure he car
 and will unravel this tangle without
 delay, and without further loss to hi'
 company or his employees. Come
 MT Young, show Waterbury people
 that you are able to see way out o
 the present difficulty and at the same
 time hold the confidence of the people

DIsLoCATED HER SHOULDER.

Mrs Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn, fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get 1t back ill place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlaln's Pain Balm ad- vertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle of 1t. which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep, which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by all druggists.

Not Good Enough.

An American actor tells story of an adventure that enlivened a Transforming" tour in the west. In a little town where the company was to appear, the actor went to the theater for a band rehearsal, but in- stead of a band he found only soli- tary man with a cornet under his arm.
 "What time is the band rehearsal?'' asked the actor.
 'FRight now, sir," answered the cornet-player. "But where is the band?" ""I am here, sir; the rest are play ing at a dance. You will have to get along with me-"
 "Ah,'' said the actor, sarcastically, "I suppose you are the best cornet- player in the state" No, sir,' said the musician, sadly, mot by long way. If were any good, I'd be playing at the dance with the rest of them."--Youth' $ l Companion.

Roosevelt and His PARTY

at the end of his second session of
congress Mr.. Roosevelt has hardly any
sincere friends in congress. The party
machine is the most perfect that we
have ever seen. 1t governs absolutely,
and its DEGREES are embodied in legis-
lation. For the moment the country is
governed by the edicts of an oligar
chy, and not by the laws which are the
result of discussion and elaboration
The oligarchy gratifies the president
with some legislation, denying him
much. ind deceiviag him IL SOME Ie4
spects. What It grants is for the sake
of harmony. The independent, thinking
republicans, who are averse to this rule,
who had hoped for help from the White
House against the tyranny of oligarchy
are hurt and angry. The president may
retain the affection of their constitu-
ents, but he has lost the friendship and
confidence of the representatives. The
president is now the ally of the ruling
oligsrchy. whose leaders do not agree
with single principle which he an.
nounces. They are satisfied, but they
would throw him over If they dared
This is the precise truth as to the presi.

INACTIVE OLD AGE.
More Conducive to Dreariness Than
to Shortening Life.

more conducive to Drenriness Than
to Shortening Life.
There is far more evidence for the be-
lief IN the dreariness of old age after
active work has been laid aside than
for the shortening of life which results
from the enforced inactivity. Two not
able instances and perhaps freer from
doubt than most as to whether it is en-
nui alone that kills and not the disease
OF old age or more specific malady
are those of Napoleon She Great and
Bismarck. The one lived six years in
st. Helena, the other eight years at
Friedrichsruh, each "eating out his
heart" II ever there were men who
ought on the supposition to have been
Killed by the total suspension of their
activities, these two ought to have
been, but 1t would be extremely diff
cult to show that they were. Though
Napoleon was no more than fifty-three,
yet 1t was the specific disease of cancer
Of the stomach of which he died, and
the connection between his cxiled lone
Illness and the direct cause of his death
does not seem very apparent. On the
other hand, Bismarck at the age of
seventy-five, when he was dismissed
from the chancellorship. could not have
had likelihood Of more prolonged
years than lie actually achieved out of
office even If he had continued In office
until the end. A wise man If not too
dyspeptic will never lose touch with
actual life. There are old men with
young hearts, and the elder when he
has a young heart is perhaps the most
delightful type humanity can show us.
