MONEY FOR WORK
At Low Ebb on Account of the
 System of Taxation.

Tilers of the soil who have been heard regarding the care of the streets think the money could be made to go a good deal farther than it does if the men who do the pick ing and shoveling kept their backs bent all the time instead of straight ening up now and then and looking around them. Probably this is true, but is it possible to get men to do that, and if 60 it might be interest ing to know whether the people want any more than a talr days work in return for a days wages on the city streets. Every man who works Tor the city should be made to under stand that he has to earn his money and that there is q regular time for starting and quitting, but beyond these things it isn't at all necessary that the public demand anything. Farmers complain hat they cannot get help to save 7heir crops, and after hearing some of them talk on this road question one easily under stands why this is so. They want a mans life for q days pay and nat urally the average laboreT gives them a wide berth. There Is noth- ing the matter in Waterbury except that none of the departments has money enough to go around, and things will not be any better until we have a revision of the present system of taxation and the man on the outside pays more. This Is the source of the whole trouble and yet 1t is kept in the background bv those who claim to feel aggrieved at bo"' they are used by the heads of the de partments. The source of the trou" ble and the remedy have often been pointed out, but at no time more concisely than in the following para graph taken from the annual mes sage of Mayor ThCms, delivered be- fore the board ot aldermen on the first Monday in January. Here it is:
 Another question which must be settled before long is that of the diff ferent taxation districts of the city. The present system is not fair to any one, and is unsatisfactory to all. l. is certain that tic outlying districts, if they expect large share of tie money appropriated for streets, sew CTS and sidewalks to be spent within their boundaries, must be prepared to pay a somewhat larger share of the taxes. It seems to me that q committee should be appointed to consider this matter fairly and pre- sent a plan at the next session of the assembly for some readjustment of the taxation districts of the city of Waterbury, which, though O: course it cannot be satisfactory to every one, will be approximately fair
 The aldermen should take this up at their next meeting and see that the inside and the outside folks have fair representation m the commit tee.

Got somethina For Nothing.

Mark Twain told how he got some thing for nothing one day in the early sixties when he needed the money. He walked into hotel and was betting a strange dog. General Nelson A. Miles, who chanced to be present, offered him $10 for the canine.
 "To be frank" said the humorist to General Miles, 'I haven't really got any right to sell you this animal, but if you'll give me 8 you may take the pup away when I'm not looking, and I'll not tell who took it."
 The bargain was closed. and General Miles took the dog to his room. A mo ment later the dogs owner Inquired for his pet. and Mark Twain offered to find Iie animal for S3. The humorist then went to General Miles room and explained all. had the dog returned 10 him, gave the army officer back his money and returned the canine to its original owner. thereby making g.

Wolves of the Sea.

Of all the inhabitants of the ocean few are more destructive than the sea wolf, kind of dolphin which attains when full grown length of fourteen feet and a weight of 5000 pounds.
 A swift swimmer, 1t is quick in its movements. cunning as a fox and has an unsuitable appetite. It feeds on the young of seal, whale and walrus and also on the tongue of the adult whale.
 When mother walrus perceives a sea wolf, she endeavors to throw her cub on to an iceberg if one is near. Failing this, she gets it on top of her head and swims with it above water. But this is vain. Diving far below, the fish of prey comes up with tremendous force, striking the frantic mother a terrific blow and jolting the cub off her head into the water. Here 1t falls an easy victim to the assailant and is soon devoured
 Tn Its work of destruction the sea wolf is frequently aided by the thrash CT. a fish which can deliver a terrible blow with its tail.

BRYAN AND HARMON TALK.
Guests at NashvilIe-Nebraskan Dis
 cusses the Panic.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 23.-William J. Bryan and Judson Harmon address ed a large audience at the Ryman au- ditorium. MT. Bryan said the idea that prosperity was an inevitable re- suit of Republican ascendancy and ad- ministration had been rudely exploded in the last few months and contrast ed the ridicule heaped upon his ad- vocacy of the silver dollar with the "prayful anxiety with which capital ists had so recently grabbed for clear ing house certificates" He scored im- perialism the cost of it and the wrong. Bryan did not blame President Roose- welt for the panic, but attacked the laws and their executors, who would compel the people Ito stand and shiver every time a Wall street gambler got cold"
 He said that Democrats everywhere were united, while the Republicans were divided so that railroad regu- lators, tariff reformers, advocates of arbitration between capital and labor and trust busters" were in an over- whelming majority.
 Judson Harmon in his speech said:
 "The Democracy is now free once more to go before the people on equal terms with it's competitors. And we shall gain or lose according as the policies we propose shall attract or re- pei the confidence of the people,"

4 Bell Ridden Town.

A we'll known tourist of the worlt has stated as his opinion that Lucerns is the most bell ridden town ill Europe He had assuredly never been t Schwyz. To begin with, the countless cattle that pass through the streets il their way to or from the upland pas lures wear bells as big as buckets And there are church bells too. A fine peal they are, no doubt, but the noble art of bell ringing either never existed or has been lost here The bells are rung by being smitten or banged to gether by two small boys, whose legs are plainly visible-an alluring mark for an air gun-through the oper louvres of the church tower, the sounds produced being about as edify ing as the music of donkey engine in full play The performance begins at 4 80 a. m. and continues until early service at 3, and if there is funeral which is every other day or so-there will be another sustained burst of mel ody from 6 to :. During the remainder of the day the ringing is varied and persistent, but it lacks the irritating power of the early morning exercises. Sooner or later public opinion will be aroused. Those boys will be dragged from their perch, tiguratively if not literally, and peace and quiet will reign in the eponymous capital of the con federacy.-Blackwood's Magazine.

BUSHRANGERS.
The Most Noted of the Later Day Out.
 laws In Australia.


 laws In Australia.
 Bushrangers were originally rum away convicts who took to the bush" as Australians call the backwoods. and became holdup men. About the year 1S3O the bushrangers became so numerous that they fought regular en- agreements with posses and soldiers sent out to capture them, and this form of crime continued sporadically until within recent years. The most famous of later rangers were the Kel- ly brothers. After many daring crimes and hairbreadth escapes the Kellys actually held up the entire village of Jerilderie, N. S. w., which had pop ulation of POO. Ned Kelly footed the bank of $10,000, while his three pals held the men of the village cooped up in their homes. Although there was a special bushranging act in force at the time authorizing the detention of per sons supposed to be in communication with the outlaws, the Kellys were not heard of again for nearly year, when they "stuck up" the small town of Glenrowan, in Victoria. Here they were brought to bay, and three of the desperadoes were shot dead in a house they had barricaded. while the leader. Ned Kelly. was brought to the ground with a bullet through the legs. He was hanged in 1880. All four of the men were in the habit of wearing an armor made of plowshares and weigh ing almost a hundred pounds.-New York American.

How to Get Poor Quick.

Do not try to save your loose change. It is too small an amount to put in the savings bank. IL would not amount to much anyway. and there is great com fort in spending it. Just wait until you get sufficient worth while before you deposit 1t.
 Do not try to economize. It is an in fernal nuisance to always try to save 6 few cents here and there. Besides, you will get the reputation of being meas and stingy. You want everybody 10 think you are generous.

ANIMAL TAILS.
The Functions of Those of Cats, LIons
 and Jaguars.

The Functions of Those of Cats, Lions
 and Jaguars.
 A cat never actually wags its tall. Why should it when it can pur? But nevertheless it seems to serve the same purpose in permitting temporary ex- penditure of excess nervous energy when the animal is under great strain For instance, when carefully stalking a bird or a man, as in the case of . kitten or lion, the tip of the tall is never still for moment-ever curling and uncurling. We may compare this to the nervous tapping of the foot or fingers in a man. When an angry lion Is roaring his loudest. his tail will fre- quently lash from side to side. giving rise among the ancients to the belief that he scourged his body with hook or thorn which grew from the end of the tail. l.&E
 When jaguar walks along a slen- der bough or house cat perambulates the top of board fence, we perceive another important function of the tail, that of an aid in balancing. As tight rope performer sways his pole. so the feline shifts its tail to preserve the center of gravity.
 The tail of a sheep seems to be of little use to it's owner, although in the breed which is found in Asia Minor and on the tablelands of Tartary, this organ functions as storehouse of fat and sometimes reaches a weight of fifty pounds. When viewed from be- hind, the animal seems all tail, and when this appendage reaches its full size it is either fastened between two sticks which drag on the ground or it is suspended on two small wheels.-C William Beebe in Outing Magazine.
