LardIess Cookery.

Horseless carriages, wireless telegra-
ply, and now lardless cookery! Lard
has, from time immemorial, held sway
in the kitchen, but it has one fatal OBJ
jection-it is indigestible Nine-tenths
of the indigestion with which the Amer
lean nation is afflicted is due to the use
of pork and its by-product-lard
Recognizing this, The N, K. Fair
bank Company, Chicago, have placed on
the market a vegetable oil cooking fat,
Cottolene, which can be used in every
way that lard or butter can, and which
makes delicious, digestible and nourish-
ing food. 1t is recommended by physi-
clans, even to invalids, and it is cheaper
than lard, one-third less being required

New York.-A course Of lectures on

Conn. He pointed the way for those
who wish to turn from their old ways
and go back to the soil" after their
release.
Not long ago Rev. Charles P. Tinker
OF the Protestant Episcopal City mis-.

decided that he could interest the
prisoners in a series of technical leo,

A. M'NEIL, JR., FOR
 STATE SENATOR
(Hartford Tines.)

Former Senator John M. Donnelly of Bridgeport, who is the tax collector of that town. was visitor to Hart- ford this week in attendance on the meetings of the State Association of Tax Collectors. In a conversation he said there is no doubt that Archibald McNeil, Jr., of Bridgeport, the son of Senator Archibald McNeil. will be member of the next Senate, as a rep resentative of one of the Senatorial districts in that city. The district is Democratic and in the opinion of MT. Donnelly there is not a Democrat in the district who will not vote for the talented young MT. McNeil. It was evident from the manner in which Senator Donnelly spoke of his young friend that he shares the enthusiasm of the Democracy of the district for the election of MT. McNeil. There is no doubt that MT. McNei1. Jr., will make his mark in the Senate of the State. He has been for years a dil1- gent student of State affairs and a. close observer of events affecting the interests of the State. He knows his Bridgeport and he is thoroughly fa- miliar with the particular needs of his district Senator Donnelly made a further statement which is also of in- terest. He said there is no doubt that the Democrats will carry two of the three Senatorial districts in the city of Bridgeport. In the opinion of the Senator the town of Bridgeport will send two Democrats to the House this year This will make a Democratic delegation of four from Bridgeport to the next General Assembly. With such delegation it ought to be diff ficult, if not impossible. to get through legislation Of a partisan character like that which was enacted some years ago with the object of depriving the office of Mayor of some of it's most cherished prerogatives because the in cumbent happened to be Denis Mulvi- hill.

Why cuvier Wore a Beard.

'"To save time is to lengthen life" is a proverb found in one form or an- other in almost every language. and Cuvier, the great naturalist. found life all too short to accomplish all he wished to do. though most economical of the hours.

This makes seven and a half hours in a month and ninety hours. or three days and eighteen hours. very nearly four days. year. This discovery stag gered me.

Have You DipIopia7

Diplopia, as its name signifies, is the defect which causes the eye to see two images of the same object. Of course the drunkard's temporary diplopia is well known. but it is possible for a quite sober person to perceive two key holes instead of one. as the comic Jour- nals have it. and yet be a total ab- stainer. Diplopia is usually the result of squint or general eye weakness and is necessarily distressing malady. As rule. the defect manifests itself in regard to small objects at some dis taDce-eight feet or so. For instance, one lamp will be seen slightly above another or to right or left. As rule, the false image is fainter than the genuine one. but when I looked through the prism. which made me for the time being diploptic. I saw the second image quite as clearly as the first, but with tendency to wander The farther away the false image appears from the true the less distinct is it's outline.- Strand Magazine.

A Story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning his career as humorous lecturer he one day arranged with woman ac- quaintance that she should sit in box and start the applause when he should stroke his mustache. The lecturer started off so well that he did not need any such help. however. for he caught the audience from the first. By and by, when not saying anything worthy of particular notice. he happened to pull his mustache. and his anxious ally in the box at once broke into furi- ous applause. Mark was all but bro- ken up by the misadventure and ever afterward carefully avoided. employing such help to success

An Artists Criticism.

Falguiere. the sculptor, tells capi- lal story of Henner. the great artist, who, although he lived in Paris all his life, never lost his Alsatian peasant ac- cent or his country manners. But Henner was very keen critic and had clever way of showing his dis like of wordy enthusiasm. Falguiere, whose talent as a sculptor is known all the world over, was very fond of painting, but he did not paint particu- larly well. One day Henner was in his studio. and Falgqiere showed him some of his pictures.
 What do you think of this oner asked Falguiere
 'Superb"' said Henner. with his AL sation accent "Marfelousv'

 "Broditchousw
