Elephant Rock.

Elephant Rock, the last remaining
and the most colossal idol Of the fast
fading western Indians, stands out
against the sky few miles northwest
Of Meacham, In the Blue mountains.
The tourist in making the Journey
through the mountains by the old stage
road can look above him and see the
giant elephant. nodded In the rugged
and crumbling stone rs 1t juts out
against the sky line, perfect in every
part, and he will wonder rs he gazes
at the likeness at the perfect lines Of
the great hulk and its natural attitude
as it stands stretching longlngly to-
ward the north.-New York Herald.

A singular Betroth.I.

The way the Slngalese and Tartar
tribes have of popping the question
is singular. The man sends and pur-
chases the lady's wearing apparel. OF
course IL she does not like the gentle
man she need not part with the con-
tents of her wardrobe. but IL he is the
favored one she readily does so, know
Ing that when the evening comes they
will be returned to her by the sutton
in person. He spends the night be.
meath the same roof with her, and the
next day, after certain amount OF
feasting is gone through, the couples
thumbs are tied together, and thence
forward they are man and wife.

Ills we Might Have.

A famous writer said: Man in gen
eral, or, as 1t is expressed, OH the aver
age, does not live above two and twen-
ty years, and during these two and
twenty yeRs he is liable to two and
twenty thousand evils, many Of which
are incurable. Yet even in this dread
full state men will strut and figure on
the stage Of life. They make love Mt
the hazard of destruction and intrigue,
carry on war and form projects just
as IL they were to live in luxury and
delight for thousand ages"

KILL THE ROOSTER
Residents of Park Avenue Have
 Their Slamhers Disturbed.

There's rooster on Park avenue that ought to be in somebody's pot. This is what those say who are kept awake nights by it's incessant and grouehy growing. This rooster seems to have no regard for time, or else it's watch is out of kilter. When the moon comes out from under big cloud the rooster. no doubt mistaking it for the sun, gets his growing apparatus going for fair. It's the same if cop hap pens by with his pocket flash light, or if all electric light burns brighter, by accident, for moment. It's all the same to the rooster. He'll crow any way.
 The board of health is going to be made acquainted with the antics of this yociferous bird unless he changes his tactics within the next few days. Proper and sufficient warning was served upon him last night by some of those for whose slumbers he has shown no regard. The only thing the health authorities can do is to order him as public nuisance to be removed, which means that Mir Rooster must shut up or go to pot.
 It is likely that the latter fate will be his. for rooster that doesn't know any more than to crow for an electric light, or the moon, in sublime ignor- ance that 1t is the god of day, is not likely to know when 1t is time to shut up to save it's neck. It is very proba. ble, therefore, that it will keep on growing until capital punishment is de creed by the disturbed neighborhood or the board of health.

DAIRYnEN MET
Principal Speaker Was ffilk Inspector
 |. 4. Sundin.

Over 200 persons interested in the dairy and it's products gathered at 4. !. Pierpont's at East Farms yester- day as the guests of Mad River grange Milk and Food Inspector J. A. Sundin of this city was the principal speaker ..The skepticism So common to farm ers,'' said Mir Sundin, "a few years ago relative to scientific Improvements in the making of cheese, butter and milk Is fast disappearing on account of the part the federal government and the stafe is taking in these matters. The farmer who studies the breed Of his cattle and looks for the best. who makes modern improvements, bound to succeed. He plans and figures how to supply the markets with good and su- perior products at the best profits.
 "The health boards of our cities meet with criticism because they have gone into foreign territory, and inform the farmers they must keep healthy cattle. clean and sanitary stables, well drained barnyards, wells protected from surface water, and market theis milk and butter in a way to insure purity, cleanliness and freedom from contamination. Such interference however. has done great deal oi good During the past month l have notified eleven dairies supplying Wa terbury with milk to either stop ths sale of milk or make the desired irD proyements. These improvements il the supply will insure the consumer' better milk and give the dealer better prices.
 But does it pay the farmer to mak' these improvements? It does. In talk ing with one of the leading dealers re gently, whose farm is model one, h said that his business was steadily in creasing although his price for mill was one cent per quart higher. H' had been able recently to make larg increases to his property in the shap, of new and improved buildings. Tn remark Is often made that progressiv, dairying does not pay. Help is scar and costly and prices are high. II Waterbury the dealers have kept tn priye up to cents for bottled mill and there is talk of increasing 1t.

Hundreds were turned away. As an experiment the company at Jacques has provtl very successful. Packed houses have been the rule, since the opening drama The Christian" As the season ad- yanced many of the people of town seemed to get craze for the company and could be found there two or three times a week.

During the summer grist for the d. yoree mill has been piling up in, the office of the superior court.

 One of the interesting cases that has been returned is that of Mrs Jen- nie Wilson. nee Johnson, against Will liam H. Wilson. The custody of two children. Jennie. 19. and Mary. 8, is involved in this case. but 1t does not seem to give the recreant father much concern. It was some time before Mrs Wilson discovered the whereabouts of her husband. whom she married on March 15. 1884, and then she found him in New York. She claims that besides having deserted her without cause heiwas for fifteen years previous to January 4. 1897, the day on which he left for parts unknown. habitually incorporate.

nACADAh ROADS.
Other Cities Ahead of Waterbury in
 That Line.

New. Haven caught onto the value of macadam roads before Waterbury. as anybody can see by the amount of road space covered by that material in all parts of the Elm city. Until quite recently the board of aldermen of Waterbury looked upon macadam as a makeshlft and as a consequence very little of that class of work was done here until the officials opened their eyes to the fact that 1t was being used in other places and giving good satis- faction Even then there was pretu- dice against it, and there is now. so much so that the business administra- ton does not think it worth while re- pairing some of the macadam roads Of the city. This is why they look Ike entrances 10 quarries instead of pub | lie thoroughfares in the best town in New England. No matter what hap pens," said one of the New Haven officials 10 a reporter. we never put a maeadam road on the waiting list. It makes a beautiful road. but if needs attention and if not cared for in time 1t will become a menace and people who don't know any better think the fault rests with the material. I think our macadam roads are about the best in the state, notwithstanding the enor- nous travel over them. Too often | towns leave macadam to take care of |. itself and where this Is done 1t would I be cheaper and much more satisfactory ! to continue to use gravel until a per & &nanent pavement can be put down y he macadam roads wherever you see lem between here and New Haven Ie also fin fine shape and naturally s prompts people to inquire why it es such poor results in Waterbury.
 reason is plain enough and can
 aced to neglect on the part of the
 usass rnment. New Haven has clean streets and 1t has
