SARCASTIC DEAN SWIFT.
ItuI., and DirectIons For servants
That He Wrote.


Rules and Directions For servants
That He Wrote.
There was u servant problem when
Dean Swift was alive just as there Is
today. and he, died In 1T45. In his
"Ruies and Directions For Servants
he wrote: when you hive broken all
your earthen vessels below stairs
which is usually done in week, the
CONFER pot will do as well. 1t can
boil milk. heat porridge, hold small
beer. Apply it indinerently to all these
uses. but never wash or scour it." And
again: IF you want paper to SINCE
fowl. tear the first book you see about
the house. Wipe your shoes. for want
of a clout, on the bottom OF curtain
or a damask napkin" I'm roasting
and boiling" he goes on, ''use none ont
the large Goals and save the small ones
for the fires above stairs" Another
touch that might have been written to
day is the following: when butler
cleans the plate leave the whiting
pIafnIy to be seen in all the chinks, for
fear your lady should not believe you
had cleaned 1t" Once more: There
are several ways of putting out a
candle. You may run the candle end
against the .wainScOt, which puts the
snuff out Immediately: you may lay it
on the ground and tread tile SNUFF out
with your foot; you may hold 1t up
side down until it is chokod in its
own grease or cram 1t into the socket
of the candIestick; you may whtri 1t
round in your hand till 1t goes o"t."

HANDkERcHlEFs.

They Are OFTEN a Source OF Grave
Danger TO TVRSheryvomen.
StatistICs have shown over and over
again that Washerwomen are mlcn
more likely b eont1act tuberculosis
and actually sun6er fffp the disease In
much larger proportion than other
working women of the same grade OF
life. This is due to the fact that the
expectoration of the tubereulous pa
tfents clinglng to their various articles
OF clothing Is not rendered nonviruienf
by anticipates or by boiling before they
come into the hands of the washer-
woman. It is particularly handker-
chiefs that are the most dangerous IN
this respect. and the enforcement OF
sanitary regulations with regard to e1-
nectoration Is sure to add to this dan
ger. 1t would be well II the Chinese
custom of using a paper handkerchlei
(which the Cinnamon OF the better
CLASSES would dIsdain to carry with
him once 1t has been soiled, but when
he hands over to his servant to be d!s-
posed of by burning) could become the
ruie in this country. Until 1t does
howeyer. physicians should call the at
tention. especially of those suffering
from tuberculosis, to the necessity for
having their handkerchiefs soaked for

tion before allowing them to be sent

 Artist H. I. Thompson, Who Has
 Painted Portraits of Connecticut
 Sons. @&
 Harry I. Thompson, of New Haven, the artist who painted the portrait of Governor Ahiranl Chamberlain, which has just been placed in position in the State Library, came up to Hart. ford yesterday to see how the ex-gov- ernor looked after hanging. Before starting he teIephoned to his subject at Meriden, and the ex governor was per suaded to join him or1 the train and come to the Capitol. There the artist received congratulations from a num- Der upon the excellence of his work. The portrait has been on exhibition at the Union League club in New Haven, and many of the friends Of ex-governor Chamberlain in New Haven. Meriden and elsewhere have admired the work.
 MT. Thompson's work is no stranger to the walls of the Capitol where are also seen his portraits of Governors Bigelow, Waller, Harrison, P. c, Lounsbury and Morris. The Putnam picture in the governors room is also his work, as is that of General Nathan iel Lyon in the office of the adjutant- general.

RUSSIA BLUFFING.
Opinion of Japanese Press-One Paper
 pessimIstlc.

Tokio, Aug. 13,--The Nippon this
 morning, in reference to the peace ne- gotiations, prints the following: Reports from abroad, purporting to come from Russian authority, to the effect that Russia has instructed M Witte to refuse the cession of territory and the payment of indemnity, are nothing but mere bluff. Russian diplomacy has shown itself to be full of bluffing and intimidation, particularly so during the period pre- ceding the present hostilities. Whatever measures Russia takes,
 the fact stands out clear as daylight
 that Sakhalin is under occupation and the fate of Kamchatka is within easy
 command of Japan. Other portions of Russia's maritime possessions are within easy access of Japanese assail- ants.
 "A shreWd diplomat and statesman like M. Witte cannot be blind to the fact. A man of his financial experience ought to be alive to the fact that the
 expenditures required for the continual ton of hostilities ought to be utilized in a channel productive of a greater
 benefit to Russia.
 However blind Russian statesman
 may be, it is impossible to believe that they fail to appreciate the logic of events.
 Whatever differences may exist be-
 tween the plenipotentiaries, they can
 only be in the point and degree of ces- sion and indemnity, not in the principle
 of cession and indemnity."
 The Hochie takes pessimistic view
 of the negotiations, in view of the re-
 ported refusal of Russia to cede terri tory. It declares that Japan ought to
 pay more attention to Manchuria than | to Portsmouth.

sANITARIUM INMATE.

 Stamford.

Gave the Keeper the Slip-Was From
 Stamford.
 The Brooklyn Eagle says in a special from Oyster Bay, l.. l.: Yesterday afternoon strange men were seen rush. ing about the streets, darting in and out of stores, asking rapfd-fire ques- tions of everybody and acting like a delegation of wild men from Borneo who might be in search of the Presi- dent. The summer capital of the na- ton was all agog with curiosity and ex- citement when the men were seen to surround Justice Waller Franklin and gesture in the widest manner.
 The men proved to be keepers from a sanitarium in Ctamford, Conn.,, across the Sound, and they had lost patient of note. It appears that keeper and three patients had left Stamford on a lauch for 8 pleasure trip to Oyster Bay. The trip proved uneventful until they arrived here.
 One of the patients, a man about twenty-one years of age, said to be a member of a prominent upstate farni- ly, had taken a valuable watch from a fellow patient, and, coming to one of the drug stores here, told a tale of woe, and because of his pathetic story and good appearance, succeeded in borrow ing five dollars on the watch. He went to the depot to buy a ticket for New York, intending to return to his home, and then the excitement began. The keeper, who had learned of the transaction, rushed into the station and there was fierce struggle between the two men. Finally the young man, with the aid of Constable McJuade, was talk en before Justice Franklin, who said he could not hold him on the charge,
 The patient then succeeded in eluding his keeper and was driven to Syosset. Other keepers were telephoned for from Stamford, and after they arrived began the search which so excited the village. Learning that the patient was at Syosset, a message was sent to hold the man and a keeper drove at break-neck speed to that place, only to find that the young man had left on a train. The keepers then returned to Stam- ford with the other patients, a very sore lot of men over the loss of their i important patient, whom they referred to as Dempsey.
 Conners was the name of the keeper who brought the patients here.''

DESTROYING OLD LANDMARK.

First House Built in Collinsville One
 Hundred and Sixteen Years Ago
 Being Torn Down.
 After standing the storms and weather for one hundred and sixteen years, house built in 17S9 by Freder-
 ick Humphrey in Collinsville, is about to be torn down, and on it's site will be erected two modern double tenement houses.
 J. W. Merrill, who for the past twer- ty-tlree years has resided in the old landmark, is moving nto the Welton house, at Church and Spring streets. With the erection of the house about to
 be demolished MT. Humphrey owned four~f1fths of the land of the entire vil- lage Mr. Humphrey, associated with
 his brother, Colonel George Humphrey, i'll 1792, established an iron forge, which | was near the site of the first shop built | by the Collins company. For several years the house in question was used as a tavern, and about seventy-five 1 years ago, on the upper floor, Masonic l lodge rooms were located. The house | narrowly escaped destruction by fire l last fall.
