CONNECTICUT C4NABIES.

Wooden nutmegs are no longer sold in Connecticut, or by Connecticut men, but if the story is true that comes from Winsted there have lately been people in this State who would have sold wooden nutmegs if they hadn't happen ed to be selling Connecticut canaries. The Winsted story is that scores of per- sons who bought canaries cheap at the fair have since given the birds their freedom. as they proved to be common sparrows dyed yellow.
 Of course an adulterated sparrow, even if bought at low price, isn't a canary, and therefore the good people around Winsted who bought the spar rows are justified in feeling sore. They didn't get their moneys worth of any kind of bird meat, and they don't want the kind they got. Some sharp people who trade in Wall street might be in- clined to laugh at the simplicity of the Connecticut canary buyers, but they have no call to. There are many yell low birds bought and sold in Wall street which don't hold their color well,

THE cHAsE OF THE HorER.

If the voter doesn't feel his oats now adays it is not because his attention is not called to them, The party papers are telling him what noble place he occupies in the world and how he Should exhibit his nobility by voting for the noble candidates they are pat riotically backing. The spellbinders and the stemwinders do their best to puff him up with a sense of his importance and his duty to vote for their employ CTS. And the high-minded candidate comes down from his lofty perch and tries to make the voter feel that he is some punkins" as well as the candi- date The other day 1t was noticed that Candidate Hearst solemnly kissed voters baby, and the same day Can- didate Hughes shook a voters hand warmly" Such incidents as these make everybody feel good. except per- haps the candidate who kisses the baby and the baby who is kissed. And they are small sacrifices to make when the candidate earnestly wants the office Sometimes, though, the chase of the voter doesn't turn out happily. For in stance, the other day Warren Guthrie candidate in Kansas, was returning from a sale in the country and noticed what he took for voter at work in a field q may need him." remarked Guthrie, as he climbed out, hitched his horse and started across the newly ploughed ground to ask him for his vote. In getting through the fence Guthrie tore his trousers, afterward sank knee deep in mud and water in crossing drain, and when he reached the man he discovered that the farm err was only sixteen years old.
 The voter is indeed noble and use- full being, and there be those wbn think he doesn't feel half big enough when he reads, hears, thinks and votes.

which complicate the plague problem in India, the report says: The mud huts of the people favor the spread of plague, but they are built of mud be- cause that is generally the only ma terial the builder can obtain, The thor ough disinfection of such houses is often impossible, and the measure is unpopular because the inconvenience which it inevitably causes is so fre- quently followed by failure. The poor CT classes have few possessions, but the fewer they are the greater the dread of their loss or injury, and the keener the anxiety to keep them in sight and avoid their being disinfected.
 The spread of plague in India. the re- port continues, has been compared, not tnaptly, with the spread of jungle fire; slowly but surely the margins of the fire extend, the flames darting for ward where the grasses are long and dry, and dying down where some ob- stacle checks their course, while here and there sparks are carried to dis tance, where they fall upon combusti- ble material to set up fresh foci, whence the fire extends as in the original con- flagration. Throughout the report the carrying of plague is attributed to rats, and the destruction of these animals is specified as the most important pre- ventiya measure.

 AN INTERE PROPOSITION.

That was an interesting proposition made by Congressman Charles N. Fowler before the American Bankers Association in St. Louis, namely, that government, instead of hoarding it's coin, should put it on deposit in the va rious banks of the country and profit by the interest, usually per cent, which is paid to private depositors in those institutions. At present what is known as the treasury reserve is bag ged and piled in the bins at Washing ton, where it serves no immediate good and where it has been accommodating for so long a time that we have to-day $220, ,OoO,O 900.
 There is food for thought in this, and there is also good argument for it. As the Brooklyn Eagle points out: Were two hundred millions of our money so placed, the interest in year would amount to the tidy sum of four mil lions, enough to build another warship or complete one of our harbor defenses, or make up a reasonable deficit in the postofflce. Banks are by law permitted to invest their funds only in securities regarded as secure-in bonds of cities, counties, states and the nation and in mortgages; and even when granting loans the stock deposited as collateral Is to be sold without notice if it's mar ket price falls to the figure of the loan On terms of this kind it would seem as though the national funds would be in safe keeping if they were consigned to the larger and stronger financial insti- tutions, while that consignment would unquestionably serve to strengthen those institutions, put money into cir culation and relieve the stringency now existing While panic prices have been paid of late for loans by persons and corporations requiring monetary accom- modation, the Secretary of the Treas ury has been withdrawing specie from circulation and the channels of trade at the rate of $15,OOO,oOO month. Mu- nlcipalities and States bank their mon. eys, and why not the nation?

THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

We who live in this rich and comfort able country haven't much idea of what is going on in some less rich and com fortable countries, There are some ter rible figures in a recent English blue book in relation to sanitary measures in India. Under the heading of plague it is recorded that the number of deaths due to the disease from the autumn of 1896 to the end of 1904 reached the
 enormous total of 3,26S,S1O, of which 2,6O9,551 occurred in the British prov inces and 654.259 in native States. Pro- ceeding to point out the difficulties

And why the dark is black, And jest how many birds there are, And will the wind come back. And why a horse can't learn to moo, And why D COW can't neigh, And do the fairies live on dew, And what makes hair grow gray. And then my pa got up an oh, The o(fui words he said!

A British firm, extensive manufactur- CTS of ammunition and explosives, is tired of awaiting legislation establish ing the metric system, and has adopted it, regardless of any action that parlia- ment may take. The managing director of this firm is Arthur Chamberlain, brother of Joseph Chamberlain, who says that the change will be surprising ly simple, Instead of eight or nine col- umns for weights and three for money there will be wanted only two columns, one for weights and one for values. Wages will be calculated in decimals and translated afterward into pounds, shillings and pence. The Decimal asso- citation says that British manufacturers are losing millions annually in their dealings with countries using the met ric system by not adopting it.

The energy of the Duchess Dowager Fitz-James, is said to have cost France as much as the last war, and to have had the indirect effect of making a sober nation one of dram drinkers. The duchess imported vines from America to plant on her estate in Nugard. They brought phylloxera there. It spread all over France, and ruined for years the vintage departments. Her American vines could resist this disease; French vines could not. The loss to Gironde alone came to 50OOOO,OOO francs. M. Fal- Heres whole family and connections were nearly ruined by phylloxera.

Dean Wigmore, of the Northwestern university's law school, has been talk ing about the lawyers of Chicago. He says that, as class, they have no sense of public duty. The Record Herald concurs "The lawyers of Chicago" !" it remarks, "are the slaves of tho ta- piet kind of red tape. They get their living out of it. They eat it and drink it. They worship 1t. They think the world is held together by it. It meas ures all virtue for them, It deprives them of most of the power for good in the community they would otherwise have"

THE LITTLE THEATER SUPPER.

Now that the cold weather is with us again theater parties are being planned; and after the performance comes refreshments. For formal par ties visit to some we'll known res- taurant is the thing, but for the party of a few intimate friends an informal home spread, using a chafing dish for something hot, is quite in order. One bright little woman whose purse was not too well filled, delighted q trial of wealthy friends by serving them with cider, home- made doughnuts and ap- pies roasted then and there before a tiny grate fire. Another, whose hus- band had met two friends at the close of q performance and asked them In for bite, finding that the range fire was out, took the guests to the cellar, where they hilariously roasted oysters at the capacious mouth of the furnace. This would not do, of course, for a party planned in advance, but the hostess for a gift for devising appe- tizing little dishes, can readily prepare a spread like tho following:

Professor Boni, the Italian archaeolo- gist, has just completed his greatest undertaking, the restoration of Trajan' 8 Column, this task having consisted in replaclngno fewer than fifteen pieces of marble which has fallen out of their places in the column, thus menacing a possible collapse of the entire struc- ture. The grotto beneath the monu- ment has also been filled in, giving the whole firmer hold on it's foundations, so that no untoward collapse may eyer be feared in the future. The loos- ening of the restored portions had been occasioned by the fall of the bronze statue of the Emperor TraJan which Eurmounted the colunn.
