BIG CIRCUS ANNOUNCED.
Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth Coming to Waterbury.

Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show
 on Earth Coming to Waterbury.
 As the billboards and dead walls about the city are announcing in viv- i'd pictures the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is to give two performances in this city on June 17. which news Is interesting. and particularly SO since the policy of the management this season is to again present a street parade In the forenoon. The parade will be more elaborate. too. than any given in the past by a circus.
 The history of the Barnum and Bailey circus is part of the history of America. With the stalwart P. T. Barnum as its originator and founder and the pioneer of all great arenic affairs. and its earlier achieve ments perpetuated by James A Bailey. the management has ever maintained a standard of magnitude and strength approached by no other show. It Is the only circus whose tours cover the entire globe and the only circus strong enough to exhibit in New York city.
 There is not a land 60 remote but the management has an agent there. and not a city of any size h any country where this circus fs not ex- hihited. With the advantage of this foreign prestige. the entire world in a business sense becomes the store house of this circus from which it draws from time to time all that Is strange and interesting for exhibi- ton purpcses-

point where the spinal cord gives eyi.

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Bats as Pets.

A bat in a woman's bedroom can
cause more excitement than can one
lone burglar or even dozen mice. As
the strange creature Of the night comes
Tipping and tapping against the walls
and ceilings such shrieks are ELECTED
from the terrified female as to rouse
the whole family and to bring them
10 the rescue with brooms and canes.
All of this is sheer foolishness for if
she would but give him chance the
Dat could prove to her entire satisfae-
ton that he is an intelligent and ami.
able creature and not unworthy of a
permanent place in the household Yes,
the detested bat makes most agree
able household pet.
He is most affectionate creature
and will attach himself to a person as
does kindly and intelligent dog. A
college professor says: "When | was a
student at the university | had two
bats, which came and went freely Of
their own accord. In the evening they
were won't to rush through the win
dow into the neighboring garden, hunt
insects, and when their hunger was
appeased they would return Co my
room They slept on bookshelf,
where they suspended themselves form

tachment to my person and follows
me about through the rooms of my
house, if I called it."
This last statement seems to be I'M
questionable testimony in favor of the
theory that the ear of the bat is not
only susceptible to high and shrill
sounds, but also for the lower sounds
Of the human ear Recognizing that it
is called, the creature evidently is able
to distinguish different shades and as

The advocate of bats as pets fur
ther states that when he talks pleas
antlv to it his present favorite raises
and lowers its ears, much after the
manner of horse. blinks its eyes in
contented fashion. ticks its nozzle with
its tongue, and, in general disports
itself in manner that indicates it is
pleased and contented. When harshly
spoken to. it lays back its ears, shrinks
away, and seeks to escape by climbing
up the curtain.
The proprietor of this bat adds;

BEWARE or PNEUMONIA.

According to mortality statistics.
pneumonia is one of the most frequent
and fatal diseases to which humanity is
subject, It's action is SO rapid that its
victim is often in precarious condition
before realizing that anything more SER
ious is the matter than a severe cold
This is one of the dangers that may
follow neglect of cough or cold, and is
therefore the best of reasons why one
should check a cold at the start. A sim
pie, inexpensive and effective remedy,
that viii usually break cold over night.
Is the mixture of one half ounce of Nir-
gin Oil of Pine compound pure, with two
ounces of glyeerine and a half pint of
good whiskey. Take teaspoonful every
four hours. 1t is claimed this mixture

provides a sufficient quantity to last the
average family an entire year Get the
Ingredients and mix them yourself.
In preparing this formula it is essen
tial to use only the best quality Of gly-
cerine and whiskey with the genuine
Virgin Oil Of Pine compound pure. The
latter preparation is a combination of
the active principles of the pine and
santalwood trees carefully compounded
to retain the healing, health giving prop
critics for which these trees are Justly
famous. In order to insure its purity
and freshness, it is securely sealed in

BETTER THAN MASS OF FLOWERS
Handsome, Tall Lamp Makes a Very
Effective Center Piece.

When families are in mourning
and they must dine, as we'll as any
body else-instead of flowers in the
middle of the table, frequently a hand
some tall lamp which will not inter
fere with the view is placed. Then
again, a tall plant in the middle, such
as a palm, is effective, and over the
cloth are scattered punches Of pink
roses. This was the decoration used
the other evening at a dinner given by
Frederick Townsend Martin at the
Plaza. The idea is that the view shall
not be INSTRUCTED and the vase or re-
c~eptacle must be quite tall. This
makes a much more artistic effect
than the former arrangement OF an
immense mountain of flowers and
ferns and greenery in the center OF
the table. In large establishments one
must have at least one footman fol
each two guests. A party of IL will
require six footmen with the butler
and frequently an assistant. All foot
men should match in height and be
over six feet if possible.-Vogue.

JusTcLEARINe THE WAY.
After All, What Was One Tooth, More
or Less2

"The late Edmund Clarence Sted-
man." said a Chicago publisher, used
to entertain his friends with amusing
memories of country journalism. He
once edited, you know, a little paper
in Connecticut.
"At a dentists banquet in New
York, where he read an original poem,
he told a story about an amateur Con
necticut dentist, one of his oldest sub
scribers.
This mans name was Jake. Jake
was at work in a corn field n day
when a neighboring farmer came to
him, holding his jaw.
1.-THE farmer had the toothachey and
to save a trip to Winsted and a den
| lists fee he wanted Jake to pull thu
aching tooth.
Jake led him to the barn. seated
him on a saw-horse and took from the
harness room a pair of very large
rusty pincers.
""Here goes he said, and hracins
himself extracted a huge tooth.
THE farmer clapped his hand tt
his jaw. He pointed r~eproachfully tt
the large white tooth in the pincers.
"'Why Jake he said, that's the
