OBESITY IN AMERICA.

A New Yorker recently undertook a long ast, for the second time, to re- duce his weight, but such heroic me- tbods are not likely to be adopted by many. Moderation ill diet, however, has long been recommended, but never more so than now, particularly so in conjunction with certain mineral waters, the use of which is strongly advised by some medical authorities. The British Medical Journal goes so far as to say that the efficiency of a Hungarian aperient water named Apenta for the systematic treatment of obesity is clinically established; a leading Berlin medical journal speak ing of observations made in the fa- nous clinic of Professor Gerhardt at the Charity Hospital, Berlin, says that this Apenta water produces a. reduction of fat in the body without detriment. The necessity for this moderation in diet almost leads one to picture the typical American of the present day as rotund and bucolic rather than long and lanky, as has been the favorite characterization of Uncle Sam.

THIEVES MARKET.

In Many Modern Cities All Kinds of
 Stolen Articles May be Purchased.
 A market where nothing but stolen articles are sold, and by the thieves themselves, is one of the sights to be seen in Mexico. '.- ] On some open space of a few acres ill many of the cities of Mexico, is what is called ''the Thieves Market" where can be purchased anything from scrap iron to finest jewelry. The native thief is an adept in his line, often relieving tourists of their valuables while selling them curios. One man, who had been relieved of his watch, as he stepped into a store discovered it in the hands of native. That was the first knowl- edge he had of its disappearance from his pocket. The native was sent to prison, where he was released in few days owing to the crowded condition of the prisons.
 Others who have lost their valuables in like manner, instead of notifying the authorities and so possibly soaring the thief out of the vicinity, await the opening of the market, where they can generally recover them by payment of a small sum.

Pays q Beautiful Tribute of Remcm- brance to Soldier. Statesman and Former Commander.

rays a benutlIu IrlDute or dcmeuA-
 brance to Soldier, Statesman ana
 Former Commander.
 The committee appointed by the Sev- .enth c. V, General Hawley's old regi- 5ment, to draw up a memorial on his death has prepared the following:
 MEMORIAL RECORD.
 The Seventh Connecticut RegirnenS association, having assembled in Hart ford to pay the last honors to it's he- lived commander, Brevet Major len Eeral Joseph R. Hawley, it is fitting that i've express our appreciation of what he was to us.
 In 1861 his stirring words for justice. freedom and the Union led many of us ito lay our lives on the altor of our Scountry.s Through four years of the war, under discourage suffering and peril. his words and example kept us loyal to the principles we had es- poused.
 After he became general and His duties in 8 measure separated him from hs. he felt toward us much as Napoleon felt toward 'The Old Guard.p No duty was so dangerous, no sufferings so sure. no risk So great, but that at the call of duty he believed that we should rise to the occasion. That confidence made us wish to be what he thought us, and was an important factor in our sllc- cesses
 For forty years since the war, in the governors seat, on the rostrun or the floor of the senate his words hace often guided our thoughts and held us firm to the purpose to make the Union we had saved worth saving. Toward us as individuals he ever showed his interest and love. Worthy or unworthy, one whose name was inscribed on the rolls of the Seventh was insured his helping hand and open purse. He was often present ot our numerous reunions, great and small, and it seemed to make no difference in his attendance whetheS they were small or great. Our faces always frightened and our cheers rolled forth at his presence.
 Death has not separated him from us. but has formed new bond of union. We always loved him, but we never hllCfl llUtf llluCu Wc IONCu 1lilIl d5 We QQ to-day. Though day of sadness, it is also a day of solemn joy that we were permitted to share in the sacrifices which shortened his life, and Serve un-i der so noble commander. To his mourning family we tender our sincere sympathy and gratitude foT the ,ceaseless care which smoothed his path way through his late infirmity and made his days of deprivation, in some measure, days of comfort. We trust that God, through the healing hand Of His own good time. will give them Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.''

SOLD 30 WOMEN AT AUCTION.

Grange Plan to Raise Money Some
 Ladies Fetch More than s1.
 Winsted, March 24-The grange of Merryall, New Milford. which recently gained notoriety by presenting a drama in a church chapel, advertised an auction sociable at the home of C.S. Hurd for the benefit of the grange.
 A large crowd was on hand when s. B. Hendricks announced that the ladies were to be sold under the hammer. The women were wrapped up in sheets with pillow eases over their heads. so that their identity was concealed. The bid ders, who were careful not to get their own wives or daugters, became en- thusiastic, and offered over s1 apiece in some instances. All of the women were finally disposed of the lowest accepted bid being ten cents.

INDUSTRIAL CENSUS.
Reports Will Show That Connecticut Is Holding Her Own.

~ l
 Is Holding Her Own.
 According to William A. Countryman, who is supervising the industrial census in this State, the figures for Connecticut will doubtless show that the State is holding her own in the manufacturing industries.
 In 1890 when the census was taken Connecticut occupied ninth place in the list of manufacturing States. Since then it has lost this prestige and dropped back to the eleventh place, where it is now. MT. Countryman says that this fact does not necessarily in- dicate that Connecticut is deteriorating as manufacturing State. The fig ures show that it is maintaining her line of industries and gaining new ones. The falling off here is due to the rapid growth of Western States as manu- featuring eenters. Indiana has come up rapidly within recent years.
 MT. Countrymans expects to be able to report to the census bureau an in- crease of about 20 per cent in industries in Connecticut. - .z

ARCHAEOLOGICAL BILL.

Appropriation for the Purpose Urged
 by Members of the State Board of
 Health.
 Hartford. March 25AH the mem bers of the state of health, except Prof. Brewer. of New Haven, who was unable to be present, attended the ses- sion of the committee on public health and safety yesterday and supported the bill, appropriating $10,000 for the con- struction of a bacteriological laboratory and s1O,O0e for it's expenses for the next two years. Henry G. Newton, of New Haven, said the need for the laboratory was imperative and that by it's estab- lishment many lives would be pre- served Dr. E. K Root, of this city, said that the laboratory would be of especial value to the smaller towns Of the state Hartford and New Haven now have hacteriological laboratories for the detection and diagnosis of con- lar advantages.
 3 Senator Whitney of New Haven, asked if an arrangement could not be made by which the state could use the laboratories in Hartford and New Haven. Dr. Root said it was doubt frl if the cities would be willing to enter into such an arrangement. Con- tinuing Dr. Root said that the state board of health did not want the ap- propriation for a building at present. The board thought the work could be done more economically by hiring a suitable room. He said that with the permission of the committee he would offer substitute bill .appropiating $6,O00 for the cost of maintenance for the next two years. Dr. Townsend, of New Haven, pr. Jewett, of Derby, and pr. Jones, of Greenwich, also spoke urgently in favor of the bill.
