MILK FOR MESS.
Captain Goss and Lieutenant Deming
 to Carry Cow to Battlefield.

The desire of Capt. Chauncey P. Goss, Jr., and Dudley E. Deming of the staff of Col. James Geddes, who will command the Connecticut troops when they will participate in the war manoeuvres in Massachusetts next week, to have fresh milk all the time, is making great sport for the guards men here. These two officers, it is said. will not trust to any farmer to provide them with lacteal food but instead will procure a COW. and either have her transported around with them while they are on the march, or else hire a COW in the different towns that they are in.
 In speaking on the matter at the armory last evening, one of the other members of the staff said: If Dr. Deming doesn't know how to milk the COW l guess she will have to go un- milked, for l am too advanced in age to begin to learn now and I don't believe that any of the other officers will favor the idea either. I have never heard of Captain Goss milking and 1 am afraid that one of the fea- lures of his military training is miss ing. We are ready to drink the milk for water will be a scarce article. but as for milking, oh, no!"-Waterbury Republican.

A bulletin just issued by the geological survey on the production of feldspar i'll America in 1908, con- tains the following about this indus try in Connecticut:
 "The quantity of Connecticut feld spar placed on the market in the crude state in 1908 was 2,SSS short tons less than in 1907 The quantity marketed in the ground state, includ- ing abrasive feldspar, was 1.566 short tons less than in 1907 The product of the Eureka Mining and Operating company's quarries is reckoned as marketed in the crude state, as the milling branch of this concern at Trenton, N. J., is incorporated under different name (Eureka Flint & Spar Co.). The Consolidated Feldspar Co. reported the purchase of property ad- joining it's 1wn at White Rocks from the Middlesex Feldspar company. The Eureka Mining and Operating com pany reported the opening by it of a new quarry in the town of Chatham, Middlesex county, close to the Con necticut river.

At a meeting of the New Haven Master Plumbers association, an- ouncement was made Thursday that their shops would be open for busi- ness. and that any one who wished to work, together with any one whom the master plumbers would see fit to em- ploy, might return to work. The mas ters by this only carry out what they proposed from the start, which is that they would not yield to the tourney men in the matter of apprentices. They are willing that all apprentices should be registered but they do not propose to be confined to employ only such apprentices whom the union chooses to register.

Life In tho Country.

In the country every morning of the
year brings with 1t a new aspect Of
springing or fading nature, new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and new
promise or warning in heaven. No
day is without its innocent hope, its
special prudence, its kindly gift and it's
sublime danger, and in every process
Of wise husbandry and every effort Of
contending or remedial courage the
wholesome passions, pride and bodily
power of the laborer are excited and
exerted in happiest unison. The com"
panionship of domestic and the care Of
serviceable animals soften and enlarge
his life with lowly charities and disci-
pline him in familiar wisdom and un-
boastful fortitudes, while the divine
laws of seedtime, which cannot be re-
called; harvest, which cannot be has.
tened, and winter, in which no man
can work, compel the impatience and
coveting Of his heart into labor too
submissive to be anxious and rest too
sweet to be wanton.-John Ruskin.

Friends Of |ncor-
poration Win

The special election held last Fri
day passed off very quietly, so
quietly. in fact, that had it not
been for the rumble of grain
laden wagons, the sound of the
hammer and saw, and the pleading
cries of masons for more mort, !"
one might have heard pin drop.
"Pro Bono Publico," "Vox
Populi" and old General Apathy
were the only ones who hung
ar ound the polls all day, and when
the day was done, and the battle
of ballots over, it was found that
but q measly sixty votes had been
registered. And these were not
evenly divided, either. By no
means. Fifty-five of them stood
for incorporation and progress.
The remaining five counted on
the other pile, making a ratio
favoring a better, more modern
city. of five to one.
The village trustees, therefore,
have called another special election,
to be held on Friday, November 26
the next day after Thanksgiving
at which will he chosen the full
complement of city officers, viz:
A mayor,
Four aldermen,
A treasurer,
A police magistrate,
A justice of the peace.
Who are willing to take up the
public burden, gathering up the
honors with it? Please don't all
speak at once.
