Good for Flowers,

When flower leaves begin to curl
and fall off after bringing them into
the house. the fault is due to lack OF
moisture in the atmosphere. Place
the flowers in pans and fill the pans
with hot water, and the steam will
revive the droopiest flowers. Cigar
ashes and small pieces of half-burned
cigars will be found to be splendid for
placing in the earth OF flower crooks.
The ashes alone will kill small rose
insects and not injure the plant.

Buttons of Silk.

Some of the midsummer frocks are
trimmed with what at little distance
appear to be huge crochet buttons.
On closer inspection they prove to be
made of silk. Here is the secret OF
their making: Take a circle of silk
and shir little circle in the center
OF it. Make another line of shirring
a little distance from this circle and
continue shirring the silk in circles
until you have piece of shirred but
ton mold The shir strings should be
carried to the wrong side of the silk
the side next the button mold-and
fastened securely there.

To Clean Brsss Bedsteaos.

Do not use water, alcohol. gaso-

portion of the bed. Smears and finger
marks may be wiped off with a cloth
very slightly dampened then wiped
dry with one dry and soft; or the
marks may be gently rubbed with soft
silk or old flannel. Grease may be
removed by wiping of with soft fan
mel and polishing with little sifted
chalk or whiting on a clean cloth.

There is ruction between many citi- 4zens in town and the Board of School comnliSsd toners because the assem- bly hall in the town hall is to be divided into two school rooms. Recently the school board found that they would not have sufficient room to house all the children that desired to attend school. Therefore they asked the Board of Se1ectmen to call a special meeting when they would petition the town to allow them not only the use of the town hall for school purposes but to divide the hall into two sepa- rate compartments. That meeting was held Tuesday night and developed one of the hottest and bitterest meet ings ever held in town. Those who were opposed to granting the petition of the school board were most bitter in their efforts. It was brought out if the petition was granted that the town hall would cease to be a town builGfng. Those who were opposed were willing that the town hall should be used for school purposes but were opposed to erecting partitions to make two rooms. When the matter came to a, vote IS were in favor of granting the request of the school commission CTS while IT were opposed. There were many more than 35 at the meet ing, but they had their own reasons for not voting. Following the vote the sum of $150 was authorized to bring about the changes in the hall which will make of the large audi toriun two rooms. The fifth and sixth grades will be taught in the town hall while the eighth grade which was housed there last term will now be at the Staples High school

 Westport, Sept. 4.-Stepping from the curb stone to the roadway, Hull Bartram of Lyons Plains, stepped up- on a rolling stone which pitched him to the roadway. Greatly stunned he lay in the highway until William H. Bradley, who happened along came across the prone bony. MT. Bradley believed the man had become intoxi- cated and had fallen asleep in the road endeavored to arouse him. When he lifted the mans head he noted blood. His efforts to arouse the man seemed to revive him, but when he at- tempted to stand upon his feet that ef- 5fort was found impossible. Ma Bradley perceived that the man groaned whenever he tried to put his foot under him. It was then that MT. Bradley on investigation found that MT. Bartran, he had recognized the man, had broken his leg. The Williams garage in Saugatuck was communicated with and the injured man was removed to the Norwalk hos pita1, where he is under the care of Dr. McLaury.
 Bartram is well known in town re- siding in Lyons Plains. He is a fore man at the Bradley Axe factory in Brooklyn.
