What Towels to Use.

The woman who considers her com.
plexion is using small towels not only
for her guests, but for her hands and
face. The birdseye linen is soft for
the skin, which is often irritated by a
heavier towel. Then she can use as
many as she pleases without feeling
that she is making a deadly enemy of
the laundress. The woman who keeps
her house dainty also makes use of
small cakes of soap for guests. They
are not more than half the size of the
ordinary cakes, and cost a price small
in proportion. By this means, she is
able to give each guest a fresh cake
of soap without undue extravaganza.

Fireside Journeys.
Mine Is an humble, toilsome lot,
MY home a lowly cot
Ana pleasant trips Ger land and sea
nor wheel nor sail e'er proffers me-
LAY holds me carebound, but the night.
Gheery with heartfires glowing light,
Mouchsafes rare journeys with the elves
ihat hide In covers on my shelves.
From open page these curious friends
Come out at call, with power that sends
Ne IN their wake, at lightning pace,
1hrough stored realms of time and
space.
From frozen fields-of arctic snow
To wales where tropic spIendors glow.
Past craggy heights, DER waters wide
Fearless we soar, we glance, we glide.
Famed kings and lovely queens we greet.
knlghts-errant in their journeys meet:
with founders and explorers stray,
Or talk with scholars by the way
Sages look on with solemn eyes.
dropping their queries and replies.
While mystics breathe bewiidering
Dreams
Till all the air with wonder teens.
The sweet hours come. the sweet hours
go;
Upon the hearth the fire burns low:
Ihen dainty singers. dreamy eyed,
FROM rhythmic covers softly glide
Grooming their low, delicious runes,
And, lulled by cadence of the tunes,
l. fall asleep amid the elves
That hide in covers on my shelves.

lest of Pure Air

If you want to know if the air Of
your bedroom is pure take an empty
wide-necked bottle capable of holding
just nine and half fluid ounces of
water. Into this empty bottle pour
half an ounce of lime Water. Let the
bottle remain uncovered in the room
all night long. If in the morning the
lime water is milky, the ventilation
is very bad indeed. If the lime water
becomes milky on your covering the
bottle mouth with your hand and
shaking the vessel the ventilation is
not sufficiently good. If the lime wat
er remains clear the air of that room
is pure.

Gossip on the er- change credited this group with exten- sive purchases of United States Steel pf. on reports of improved conditions in the lake ore trade, but observers were inclined to regard the advance as another drive against the shorts. After some hesitation in which traders seem ed to be testing the list for short sale, a more definite buying movement set in. After midday the tone of the market became somewhat heavy, with mark ed reduction of operations. The list showed general recessions and some early gains. including that of Steel pf, was cancelled, but the tone of the close was firm.

Lewis B. Newton of West Haven has sold three lots on Newton Heights, Oak ville, near Waterbury, to Joseph F. Genghegar. Word has been received here from New York that Mrs. John T. Reynolds lof Branford, who has just undergone an operation in one of the hospitals there, is now out of danger. South Norwalk, which is to have a laet factory in about month, is also to have an automobile factory. A Mid-
 dletown concern intends to move thith- CT and build immediately.
 A lively time Is anticipated at the re- publican caucus in Gtiilford to be held Friday evening, September ?. Each factor will make desperate effort to land their candidates for the several conventions. The prevailing opinion Is that a Stiles delegation will be elected for the senatorial convection.
 Several miles of woven mesh wire fence about ten feet in height are being erected by John M. Greist, pro- prietor of Marvelwood, the large manse just west of the home of K Marvel on the edge of Woodbridge. It is to be used for enclosing the vast demesne of MT. Greist, which was purchased from various land ownrs in this city, Orange and woodbridge recently for purposes which MT. Griest has declined to make public. r#
 Superintendent of Mails Pierce M. Maher is the father of bounling baby girl. Mother and little one are reported as doing nirely. .e .....'
 Branford's interest in the contest for senatorship from the Twelfth district is likely to be very strong as indications point to two candidates from that town, Alfred Hammers nafe having al4 ready been announced, and that of Hon. l.. A. Fisk for the democratic nomination having just become known.
