A rRUMB OF COMFORT.

There is usually. if not always, a crumb of comfort This time it comes in the shape of an assertion by one of the eminent asserters that "a mark ed reduction in the nitrogenous por- ton of our food is fully demonstrated 10 be possible, safe and ati,nal"
 Many who have been trying to live within their means lately have discov- cred that marked reduction in the nitrogenous portion of their food is possible. and they will be glad to know that it Is safe and rational They would be still more glad to know that
 it would be safe and rational to make a marked reduction in that portion of their food which is not nitrogenous. There is, we believe, a celebrated man who Is living comfortably on three or four spoonfuls of wheat day, but his example is not yet widely initiated. Perhaps it will be when the eminent asserters assert that it ought to be, And then, oh narrowing thought, per haps the price of wheat will he put so high that lt wont pay to try to live on 1t.

that at any rate. The doctor is quoted as saving: My system of treatment enriches me (would all doctors would admit as much!), cures some invalids. (how modest for doctor is that word "some"!) and has killed nobody GID, whereas my colleagues who prescribe drugs cannot say as much"
 A second Solomon, a medical Solo, mon is this man. His offhand remark contains such wisdom as century of medical practice and development has not produced The thought of the great number of people that the medi- cal science has killed is humorous one in a way. It is a very serious thought in another way and season. able one as well at this time. The fact that there have been these many deaths, due to the misapplication of drugs, proves the non-existence of medicine as a correct science. A science involves system and skill; and that system is not complete that re- suits in bringing death in cases where its objects have been simply to better health. This is the season of the year for colds and throat troubles and the thousand and one other minor ail- ments which fatten the purses of the doctors so materially simply because people are so over-ready to run to the medical men for advice

REsUMED HIS POSITION.

As we may all be in danger of get ting too excited over the financial sit uation. the political situation, and oth- CT big and impressive situations, it is perhaps well enough to pause for second or so and notice that, accord ing to the esteemed Litehfield Enquir- CT, Charles Merriman resumed, on Monday, his position as driver on the tchfield-Torrington stage line after his recent attack of grip.
 This incident may not be of as much general importance as the Aldrich bill and some of the other things, but 1t is
 important to MT. Merriman, to the Litchfield- -Torrington stage line, to the horses thereof, and to the people who patronize the line A man who is able to resume his position on stage line after an attack of the grip is a lucky man. He is also a useful man, quite as luStiuii II iudS ut dS sonie VI tiipSt Nno are trying to get grip on the United States stage line. We wish the resum- ing MT. Merriman all the good luck there can be in his position as driver on the Litchfield- -Torrineton stage line We feel sure that he is not the kind of man to allow the state of the coun- try to interfere with his wise utiliza- ton of the state of the roads between Litchtield and Torrington and his calm control of the state of mind of his horses and his fortunate passengers.

Passing cf old Churches.

 Another of the links that binds this and coming generations to those that have gone before has been wiped away in the destruction of the old Congrega- tional church at North Branford, which was recently burned, The old structure erected in 1881, was one of the too few remaining landmarks indicative of the strong and sturdy character of the an cestors who helped to make Connecti- cut and all New England the land of strong men and true who safely launched this country in it's glorious path and fostered it's growth until the infant was able to care for itself
 Churches stood for more in the olden days than they do now. They were in- separably linked with the sehoolhouse and the home. In their architecture, breathing simplicity and strength, they were indicative of the manner of men who learned to worship beneath their roofs and who taught their children and grandchildren the sturdy beliefs of right and wrong.
 There Is calmness in these old churches which makes one bow his head in reverence. The modern church. es are more comfortable, their services may be more impressive, but for all that the New Englander regrets the loss of the white painted spire of his boyhood.

4 REMARKtBLE MAN.

Mark the perfect man, that is, as perfect a man as Toledo, Ohio, could reasonably he expected to produce. It appears that Henry Fred Herman has passed both the physical and mental examinations for appointment to the police force of Toledo with a percent age of one hundred for each examina- ton The physical examination of the Toledo police surgeons is thorough, and to attain grade of one hundred per cent is n feat that has never be- fore been accomplished in that city Herman, 26 years old, stands feet 10 l-4 inches, and weighs 160 pounds. Absolutely no fault could be found in his physical makeup.
 So if Mir. Herman is a pretty good man morally, and there Is no reason to think he isn't. Toledo is going to have policeman who will be worth having.
