 June is the favorite month of the year for weddings. It probably has more of them than any other month. But in years of commercial and in- dustrial depression the marriage mar ket usually shows similar weakness, though thus far this month is appar- ently well up to the average.-Bridge- port Farmer.
 Some of the democratic papers are taking advantage of the poor judg- ment displayed by Taft in his Memo rial Day address and making the most of it by quoting some of the wrathy veterans who resent digging up Grants early history. Taft's oppon- ents within the party are also mak- ing use of the incident.-Bridgeport Post.
 ''The best cure I know of for a headache is to wash your face," said bright looking man. Yes, l believe to suddenly cleanse your face with cold water will open up the pores and probably start the blood in circulation, and I know it will relieve you of headache in a jiffy. I have tried it myself great many times and have always been successful. .'-Philadel- phia Record.
 By recent revision of the army camp the American trooper will be allowed a ration of buttermilk and other delicacies with his bacon and hard tack. This adds ? f-2 cents q day to the cost of feeding him. No one can complain at this added cost, especially when it is likely to reduce the number of assertions and keep the men out of hospitals and in good fight ing trim.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 One of the great charms of Paris is certainly its atmosphere-so clear, light and bouyant; it is like inhaling champagne. Paris in May or June is sufficient to convert the veriest hypo- chondriac into a cheerful good-na- tured being. This climate has. no doubt, a great influence on the charac- ter of the people, and accounts for their joyousness, their excitability, their wit.-Donahue's Magazine.
 High prices have compelled people to look for substitutes for beef or to curtail the amount purchased; the re- suit being a noticeable falling off in the demand for the products of the Chicago packers. If Armour and others really care to increase the con sumption of beef there is one certain way of doing tito reduce prices and to see that the retailers make cor responding reduction. - Providence Bulletin.

 The Governor Johnson boom is | growing, the governor himself is be- coming more popular and if he had entered the field earlier he might l have been in the lead in the demo- cratic presidential canvass. As it is. however, he will receive a good vote and 1t is this that is giving the re- publicans more annoyance than the 1 of Bryan. They do not fear the Nebraskan, but they do fear Johnson. If nominated he would in- 1 jeet some life into the campaign. With Bryan at the head Of the ticket the indications are that it will be q contest in November-New Britain Herald.
