 The case against Robert Molzon, pro- prietor of the Bank hotel on Bank street, for keeping a disorderly house, was not tried in the district court to- day. Instead, it was settled at the last moment on payment of the fine imposed in the city court, and the costs. In all the sum amounted to $14S.S0.
 The board of education will hold a meeting this evening and, according to schedule, it will be the goodbye meet ing of that body.

We Wish Everybody

A happy Christmas, and by that we mean every man, woman and child i'll the city of Waterbury, it matters not whether they drink our tea or coffee or not; that cuts no ice just at this time of the year. We want everybody to feel happy and contented because Christmas tide Is the season when all should be in state of joyful satisfac- ton and life is too short to be other wise. Of course there are some \peO- pie who are always happy. Take, for instance, the brass-buttoned, blue coated, keen-eyed "cops." They take life about as easy as any class of men that we know anything about And, says we are giving a beautiful sou yenir calendar to each purchaser of a pound of our nice-tasting tea or cof- fee, and by the way, it happens to be the picture of certain 'cop" and when you receive one, take particular notice what the two little girls are do- Ing with his hat, and what the ''cur poodle" is doing with his club, and what the tom cat is doing to what he is supposed to drink, and if you don't say that cops take life easy, then we will take back all we've said and try and believe there are no naughty "cops.o But please remember your Christmas dinner will not be complete unless you serve our tea or coffee: that's no joke-it's a fact. Just try it this year. Our special with one pound of baking powder at A cents per pound is high or low strongly made sled, at

STRANGE CHECKS.

a check by the owner of sawmill who

without paper, let alone a check book.
The money was needed to pay off the
hands. The sawmiller wrote on the
lath just what check correctly drawn
has on it, and he sent his son in TO the
bank to get the money and to explain.
The lath check was honored after some
discussion among the banks officers.
"The cuff check was drawn by an

MARKS OF ILLNESS ON NAILS
How Accident and Great Mental An
Euisb Are Also Indicated.

"One who Llakes a close study OF
finger nails will find many curious
things about them To excite his won
der and interest" says an expert ON
such matters, but none more 50 than
the stories OF physical condition told in
their growth.
You know that the nail Of a person
In good health grows at the rate Of
about One-slXteenth of an inch each
week-slightly more than many au-
thOrities beieye-but during illness or
after an accident or during times Of
mental depression this growth is not
only affected and retarded 80 far as
lis length is concerned, but also as re-
CARDS its thickness. The very slight
est Illness will thus leave an indelible
mark on the nails which may be read
lily detected as the nail grows out. IL
one has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism which sends the temper
ature bounding upward to lOi or 105
within the space Of two or three hours,
Ii will be found on the nails, indicating
the difference in thickness Of growth
between the time when health was en-
Joyed and the thin growth Of the i'll pc
riod.
IF the illness Is one that comes grad
ually, like typhoid fever, for example,
instead of a ridge gentle incline
will appear on the nails. Should one
have an arm broken the thick ridge
can be seen only on the fingers of the
one hand, but in all cases of general
sickness the ridge or slope appears on
the fingers OF both hands. When one
has passed through period of extreme
excitement on mental depression, the
fact will be imprinted on the nails Ell
ther with an abrupt edge or a gentle
slope, according TO the acuteness Of
the mental influence.
''In no instance can the marks of i'll
ness, accident or mental condition be
clearly seen on the nail until after the
growth has carried the line beyond the
white or half moon portion Of it, but a
week or two subsequent to any Of these
things the ridge 0r slope may be found
OH the nails, usually readily visible to
the eyes. but if not the mark may be
found by running the tip Of the finger
down any of the nails,"-St. Louis

4 FtsI,'s Appetite.

A singular instance Of tenacity in the
digestion Of fish il reported from Shelf
field, England. The fish, which was Il
ling four feet long. had what appear
ed to be an abnormally hard liver. But
the cutting up process revealed some
thing far stranger The supposed hard
liver turned out TO be nothing else but
piece of stout netting over two yards
long and fourteen inches wide. which
had been pressed into the form of n
football. How this great mass of in.
digestible material came TO be swal-
lowed by the creature Is a mystery.
and the suggestion that the fish caught

the problem Of how to escape by de-
vouring his prison walls is not consid-
cred scientifically practicable.

Is never shortened. There are two
CLASSES of hard labor
In the first class the punishment nd

with nine months hard labor In Il

convict Is employed on public works
In penal settlement. The work Is
comparatively light, and in most pris

easily. In addition TO this, by virtue
OF n system OF marks for good be
hayior, he has always before him the
possibility OF reducing his sentence by
