Talcum powder has been put to a new use by New York detectives. De- tailed to catch a thief who had rob- bed an apartment three times, one of
 them sprinkled talcum powder on the floor and after the robbers fourth wis
 it easily followed his tracks and caught him.-Winsted Citizen.
 From the number of delegates al- ready chosen it is apparent that Lil- ley not only has the pole in the race for the republican nomination but that all his opponents are going to be so far behind the distance flag that not one will be able to see them from the grandstand.-Bridgeport Post.
 The control of the primary means, the control of the convention. For merly party leaders sought to control the convention by working to win over convention delegates, but now they work direct to control individ- uals and, through them, their cau- cuses. It is probably fact that dem- ocratic nominations are more truly representative of the people than those of any other party.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 Sir Thomas Lipton is not only good sportsman, but he is also good advertiser and he doesn't let any chance pass unimproved to attract attention to himself in a way that makes a good impression. His con- tribution to the fund for the recep- tion of the Olympic athletes in New York is very characteristic. He cables his regrets that he is unable to attend pays a tribute to the ath- letes and sends $500 as an evidence of his interest. It is hardly to be wondered at that Sir Thomas is hail. ed as good fellow and that there is demand for the beverages that bear his name.-New London Day.
 The New York Times has been can- wasting the sentiment among work ingmen and employers in and about New York with respect to their polit- ical preferences in the present cleo tion. The Times is very hostile to the candidacy of MT Bryan as would be expected when one considers the persons who were reputed to be the real mentors and owners of the Times. It says that of the 1852 secret bal lots already cast 1929 are for Mir Taft. The Times sneeringly remarks that "the army of employed" was not represented in the balloting. That is very evident. If they were repre- sented, they certainly did not figure in the Times count. They will how ever. be represented in the balloting next November, and if the republican party does not repeat the practices | of 1896, they will figure in the count. New Haven Union.

 So when, after n discourse to the children on the beauty of appreciating their blessings. the teacher asked for an explanation of a blessing the doc tors little daughter rose and said:
 "1f my papa was to have a patient and she was to get we'll. and she was to pay my papa. and my papa was to give the money to my mamma. and my mamma was to buy me a new dress and take me down to the vacant lot and let me ride the great big fierce lion on the merry-go-round. that would be a blessing.

TaIismans In Malta.

There are still to be found in Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents.
 The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island and that 1t was there that while lighting bundle of sticks for fire viper fastened on the apos- ties hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames, and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans. in which character they suppose them servicea- ble in warding off dangers from snake bites and polsons.
 They are found in St. Paurs cave imbedded in clay and are set in rings and bracelets and when found to be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally. dissolved In wine. which method is attended, ac- cording to some people, by more i'm mediate results.

Its Leaves Used as an invisorsnt In
 South America.
 Coca is the South American invig- orant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under fa- vorable conditions to height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Bolivia.
 At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in beds, when they germiuate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish. small and thick,
 This is the kind of leaf that is pre- ferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as stimulant. fortifer and preventive of sleep and fatigue in the performance of arduous work, inas- much as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when work ing In mines that contain much water. Indians who masticate the leaves of tnlS plant can work twenty-tour hours without eating or sleeping.
 Coca leaves are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia. either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years.- Chicago Tribune.

Prominent New Britain democrats, who are likely to be chosen delegates to the state convention. are said to be divided in their gubernatorial prefer ences. some favoring Archibald Mc- Neil and others George NJ. Gum. There does not seem to be any talk on the question of instruction.-Ne Britain HeEald.
 With McNeil there would be a fighting chance for the democrats, but with Gum the chance would be very much lessened. Gum is clever, smart and a democrat, at times, and consequently would hardly poll as large a vote as the man who is a democrat all the time.

KNOWN BY NlCKNAMES.
Places Where a Genuine Surname ls
 Never Even Heard.

FtaSSs VHeFe SSuutUo SuTuatVo tu
 Never Even Heard.
 In many places in Great Britain, and especially in some of the fishing vil- lages of Cornwall and of certain parts of Scotland. such thing as genuine surname is never even heard. Every man in the place is known by nick name.
 In most of these villages this has been brought about originally by the fact that all the inhabitants have only had very few surnames among them One or two prevailing families have represented the population and have married and intermarried till trying to distinguish a man by his surname has only created confusion. And even some of the nicknames have begun to act in the same way. At village not very far from Wick the writer knows of some fishermen who had originally been nicknamed "Dumpy" and had left so many descendants that other specific nicknames had been necessary to distinguished which of the "Dum- pys" was meant on given occasions.
 At another village not far from this one several nicknames have in the same way become the only known fam fly names. The writer was once in the general shop here when a small boy came in and asked for some ar ticle. stating that 1t was for Blower.
 "Blowerf" said the shopkeeper (Which Blower? There are scores of Blowers?"
 The child answered at once:
 "It's for Bowleggit' Blower. Red Lugeed' (esredl Blowers laddie."- London Answers.
