 \ shrewd old Continental guide who in conducting lady round grand old cathedral, had been Assidu- ous in his courtesy and fascinating in his descriptive details anent the his- toric pile, observed with pain that the vieitor was evidently about to take her departure without bestowing the customary dole To prevent this the willy old guide said: Pardon me, madame, but If, on her return to her hotel madame should find that she has lost her purse. will madame kindly ' remember that 1t was not in this I place that she took 1t out?" The neat reminder immediately produced the I desired effect.

 The new American silver dollar In l use in the Philippines is called a s'conant." It takes its name from Charles A. Conant, formerly correspon- l dent of the New York Journal of Com 1 merce, who Is recognized as leading authority on finance, and who went to ] the Philippines for this government to reorganize its currency, or rather. to } establish an American system of coln- y age. Speaking of Conant calls to mlEd that his successor on the Journal of ii Commerce, Professor Willis, Is now professor of economies and finance iii the University of Virginia, and John c. Williams who now holds the posi- ton, was secretary of the American delegation which went tos Mexico sevs eral years ago to attend the session of Congress of American Republics.
 The need of public bath was never brought home 80 forcibly to the AS You
 Like It Man as 1t was this morning as he passed the Carrie WeIton fountain nt the green. There stood a young ster of about 10 or F years and he was actually taking his morning ablu- ton and in doing so he had to catch the water in his hand as 1t flowed in to the basin where the drinking cups hang. With one hand he applied the water, while in the other he held what appeared to be small handkerchief, with which he kept the water from run ming down over his clothing. It was an amusing sight, but the kid didn't seem to mind it. and evidently had in mind the proverbjal saying that cleanliness is next to godliness Had the donor of the fountain known that Waterbury was to be so backward on the public bath question, perhaps she would have fixed us out in that respect also.
 The public is beginning to think that after all there is something 2'theeosi' tentioYi' of former city offltlHls'nwhb took the ground that instead of cremat- inc offal 1t should be saved and fed to pigs on the town farm or any place where it might be needed for that pur- pose. It is done successfully in other municipalities and many wonder why f It would not pay here. For years farm CTS have made practice of collecting swill about the city and feeding it to ] hogs on their own farms, but during the last few years the authorities didn't look on this with much favor and as consequence the raising of pigs, once a profitable business in the rural districts. has been practically abandoned. The farmers claim that this and the poor protection afforded them from trespassers have done much towards driving many to the wall and accounts for more than one flor sale farm in Waterbury. A man who was at one time prosperous farmer in Wa terbury and is now working in fac- tory, told the As You Like It Man today that the act of consolida- ftion gave the business of tllling the soil in Waterbury a black eye, and added that were it not for the general laws passed at Hartford through the instrumentality of representatives from other towns in the state nobody could live on the farm lands of this town. He considered this an injury to the factory hands because it puts them at the mercy of people who have pool ed their stocks with view 10 regulat- ing prices and as a result the cost of living is higher here than in other New England cities.
 Talking about the circus parade an bld citizen said he supposed the ex- bibition given by Ringing Brothers was as good as Barnum ever gave. Although 1t didn't seem so to him. but he explained this by stating that he hasn't the same eyes now he had Iwhen Barnum was 'it." and used to I.aptivate everybody In his speech with Preference to his greatest show on earth" There Is a lot of truth in this. The man has the same optics now he had when he was in the cradle. but somehow they don't see things in the rrme light and as a result the ele- aant eating hay with its tail is no lore of curiosity to him than the
 lorxe chewing oats out of bag along side the curbstone. But the circus is frx Ard fnr rsx.nrs1o nrha hara
