DIE EARLY-sAvE COST.
That Seenns to Be the Only Thing for
Economical Hartford Folk to Do.

All those who wish to die at the least
possible expense should do so between

per. On and after June / the livery
men of Hartford will charge "a for
city funerals and So for funerals out
side of the city
There is a reason for the raise. In
fact, there are several reasons, but
there is one main reason. Some of
the side reasons are the increased cost
of food supplies and other expenses of
keeping horses and carriages. The
main reason is that carriages, or
hacks, as they are more commonly
called, are little used compared with
what they We're used years ago and
the expense of maintaining them for
only occasional use is therefore great
er.
The price for carriages by the hour
for driving Will be 50, for calling and
shopping $1.50. The price for parties,
dances and theaters. up to midnight
will be SO. The price goes up 81 for

stipulation as to how long the passen-

MOLES ARE WISE.
Pests That Are Doing So Much Dam
age in Thomaston Like Seeds but
Not Poison.

The life history of the common mole
that is doing so destructive work with
the gardens and lawns In Thomaston
apparently IS little known TO the farm
ers. The commences of IL protects IL
from expert study. Numerous traps
have been set, but TO no purpose,
writes a correspondent of the Water
bury Republican.
The habits of this subterranean
dweller ass ascertained locally indi-
cate that he commits his depredations
at night. A family in the lower part
OF Thomaston had its entire garden
destroyed last week by the moles
building runs from their main nest
and eating all the seeds that were
planted They are blind and travel
by scent entirely. 1t was originally
supposed they existed entirely on
worms but that theory is exploded
for they prefer seeds Of all kinds in
preference to grubS or worms.
The mole loosens the earth by his
by his head. They breed once a year
usually in April. and have as many
as six in a litter. When first born
they have no hair on them and turn
a lead color in ten days and become
black at the end of three weeks. Their
ears open the seventeenth day.
Some farmers are making figure
4" deadfalls and placing them in their
runs hoping to catch them. Poison
has been used. but their keen sense
of preservation has taught them to
leave il alone.
