Science. in Rusineaa.

It is question of onl va short time when it will be necessary as a matter of the most ordinary precaution and self defense to give buyers for large business concerns a special course of training so as to enable them to cope with the wiles and biandishmenfs of the travelling salesman.
 The "Science of salesmanshlp" has become a cult that numbers its fol- lowers by the thousand. supports nu- merous schoolh and supplies readers for several magazines. It Is based on the assumption that selling goods ia more than a matter of slappdng n man on the back and handing him a cigar $ that it is an exact science resting on psychological principles. and that q comprehensive knowledge of 1t will equip man to sell any product pro- duced by human ingenuity and indus try.
 The latest work from the press ora this fascinating subject is a naonumen- tai volume which would have done credit to the eEudition of a German professor writing on the inspiring topic of Greek roots. All buyers are divided into types" These different types" are here classified, catalogned and dissected H5ce so many strange in- sects. Their characteristics and pe- culiaritfes are all laid bare with a re- lentless hand.-Rochester Democrs4 and Chronicle.

WARDEN BuLLARp
Will Decline Renomination-Has Ex
 acting Office for Nothing But Honor.

Warden W. Irving BuIlard says that he will not be a candidate for re-elec- ton at the annual borough meeting in April. Warden Bullard has made a record as @ competent official, and his decision to withdraw from the office will be a disappointment to many cit izens of Danielson- One year terms at the head of the borough government have in recent years come to be hab- it with the wardens. The place is not an easy one to fill, requiring the devo- ton of much time, ultra diplomatic ca1ibre and business capacity to keep the wheels running smoothly. All of these essentials are required of the men that the elected to the place, and Danielson has had a list of very good wdrdens. but the office requires such an amount of self sacrifice and atten- ton to the interests of the public that it is difficult to find a, man that is will ing to carry the load for more than one year at a time. Financially, he gets nothing out of the office. He is ex- pected, however, with his court of burgesses. to make good in all matters involving the borough's interests and round out his term of service with perfect score. In a word, he is expect ed to do the very best he can and take his chances of being appreciated.
 To Vote With New Ballots.
 For the first time in the town of Killingly the new form of ballot legal ized for use by the last general assem- bly, will be put into the hands of the voters at the annual borough election in Apri.
 Ali of the new ballots are to be printed on plain white paper of uni form quality and thickness. and are to bear the official seal on the reverse side. The law provides that a list of the candidates of the several political parties shall be printed on the ballots headed by the name of the party. There ds also provision made for a blank column on the ballots in which the voter may write the name of any man for whom he wishes to vote-
 All of the ballots are to be printed with a blank circle three-fourths of an inch in diameter at the head of the ticket or list of candidates, and when straight ticket he shall place a cross mark (O within the circle at the head of the ticket he desires to vote Should he desire to vote a split ticket, he each candidate whom he desires to vote for, such X being in addition to the one at the head of the ticket
 Any other mark than the official x will render the ballot void. If the vot- CT wrongly marks, tears or defaces his ballot, he may return it and get another. Of course there win not be long list of candidates for election to voters will have a chance to see how they like the new system as compared to the old.

May Become a Public Nuisance.

A good many of the neighbors are for abolishing "Statuary hall.' Idaho has contributed a statue of George L. Shoup, who, though an excellent man and big man in Idaho. does not seem to have attained to Statuary hall size. The discussion of Gen. Lee has seem- ed mischievous and unprofitable. The collection of effigies in the hall already tends to be more curious than edify- ing, and promises to increase in in congruities and appalling contrasts as the years accrue. The hall seems to need a despot, who shall admit or re- ject applicants according as seems good to him. We should be glad to nominate Joseph Cannon for the place as soon as relief from his present du- ties gives him leisure to attend to it. But perhaps the, better way would be to abolish the collection. No one is re- sponsible for it. Any one can make trouble about it. As a center of biclx- erings and disputes it may easily be- come a public nuisance. Harper's Weekly.
