All IAuldhd bduhcI udo Dtcn SSHL tO | prison for stealing a horse. If he had
 not let his left hand know what his right hand was doing, he might have
 escaped that.-Norwich Bulletin. About time for the floods in the
 west to let up. Can't the, prohibi- tionists do something to make some of
 the towns dry along the Kaw and
 Missouri rivers s?-Bridgeport Post. The attendance of 10000 Christian Scientists at the two communion ser
 vices at the mother church in Boston | Sunday indicates that there is no lack of enthusiasm among the members
 of the sect.-New London Day. Rev Rr Gunsaulus, of Chicago, has
 adopted the plan of having a quartette sing at intervals during his discourse and six such breaks in the course of
 the sermon were heard on recent Sunday night. Not person left the place till the service was over. Which | goes to show that the clergyman is a | man of resourse and ability, and knows how to hold a crowd in one
 way even if he cant in another.-

 The old song that goes: "The boys
 around the monkeys cage had better
 keep away ought to be changed to
 tigers cage" One of the tigers
 reached through the bars when the
 show was at Hartford and seriously
 injured q small boy by striking him
 twice on the temple. It all goes to
 rebut the popular belief that the ami
 mals at the circus are all "doped"
 Better be careful out at the grounds to-day.-Morning Journal-Courier.
 If England has had no such sensa- tional givers as our American multi miliOnaires, it has accumulated all extraordinary number and variety of curious little special endowments. Perhaps not many people ever heard of Newman's trust for the benefit of unmarried daughters of retail book sellers-a title which sounds as if it came out of a novel. At its most recent meeting $225 was equally di- vided among nine applicants.-Spring- field Republican.
 It's an ill wind that does not blow good to somebody, and the industrial depression has helped the steamship companies by sending home from this country thousands of foreigners who can pay their way over and then live more economically on what they have saved than they can here. More than 100000 have made the return trip since last October and only about one- fifth that number have come in. Inci- | dentally that change helps the labor market here also.-Bridgeport Stan dard. ,:-... -..~ -.- l,,...
 The New London Day has just ] printed an industrial and prosperity | edition, and it is a credit not only to the Day but to the city as well as to the people that made 1t possible. The edition is printed in book form, and | contains the business announcements | of all the progressive merchants of the place, as well as much other in- teresting matter concerning New London and vicinity. The workman ship is of the best and the whole pub IicatiOn reflects credit on the concern that produced it.
 The number of holidays. such as Memorial day and Fourth of July, occurring on Saturday this year, are disconcerting to the store keepers. Saturday is the best day of -he week for trade and is costs a pang therefore to close ones store on that lay: yet 1t is quite evident that on such holidays as we have noted. few persons will buy groceries, shoes or Try goods. The storekeepers in con- sequence might as well make q virtue ,f necessity, put up their shutters and ioin the throng bound for the parks md picnic grOunds.-New Haven Pal- adium.
