THE PROFITS IN WATER.

Some figures of interest to the people of Bridgeport elucidated at the municipal ownership hearing gently The figures related to the charges for water in Bridgeport
 The cost of the water furnished to the people of Bridgeport last year $14O,455
 The profits which the water received for fur nishing this water $274. .663.
 The figures from the report of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company made under oath to the Public Ut ties Commission.
 The item of $14O455 includes these elements of cost. For operating expenses $16938 For maintenance $48, l9S And this iten-For salaries general officers of flee clerks and assistants, $40,611.

 It will be that the water industry in Bridgeport is tiny thing compared with the police department the fire department the department or the depart rnent of public works.
 If city of Bridgeport for the of done by this company, should establish salary list of e4OOoO and do everything else the scale it would go hroke in 8 year.
 The capital of the company is $2 100000. The profits of the company last shown $274OOO This profits equal every seven years, to it's entire tazaOn and unless municipal ownership intervenes the people of Bridgeport will be duplicating this property for the gentlemen who 1t every forever

GIRLS ARE CRAZY FOR
 THOSE BULGARIAN BLOUSES
CFrom the New York sun)


 You have seen pictures of Tolstoi pottering about his estate in a loose blouse, and maybe you have watched Russian peasants enter America through the gates down where Castle garden used to be- wearing things that looked. like shirts which hadn't been properly tucked in? Very well, then That gives yoou sort of ground plan of the Bulgarian blouse that all the girls are crazy about this year, but unless you eTbowed in the Easter parade you missed the high lights of the thing.
 Take mujik's baggy blouse, color it Ponpeian red, drape a wide yellow sash loosely around the hips, add skirt so narrow at the bottom that no woman can step more than 12 or IA inches at time, and slit at one or both sides so to show at least $1 50 worth a B pair of silk stockings, and you have some idea of the show that crowded spectators four deep against the house walls of the Fifth avenue sidewalks and convinced the old gen tlemen in the club windows that life was worth living after all.
 It might as well be said right here and now that the Bulgarian blouse and the sash that went with it, wasn't the whole show by any means Take the hats. Lids are little this sea- son, only blobs of color, enough to roof the head. There was the canoe, which is all that it's name implies a ,boat-shaped hat with a shaded feather jutting up like a mast. The canoe is about the newest hat as is. But even the canoe was lost sight of when you caught the slashes. The slashes isn't a hat. It's misde- meanor. It's a slit running northward from the hem of the skirt to some where south of the knee and dis playing considerable hose. One had no difficulty in perceiving that gray is a grand color for hose. It is pop u1ar because it looked like very thin black. All the girls are crazy about shoes with colored tops. When you weren't busy wondering how far a | girl could go with the slash and | still be a lady, you were watching the 1 blue topped and white topped and | green topped and gray topped shoes. |

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 
A Hair Removing Paste

Some time ago told you what cleo trolysis did for the woman with a hairy face, and finished by saying that if you could not afford these electric treatments you should turn your thoughts to depilatories
 Presuming that quite number of you are possessed of none-too-fat pocket-books, T tADpk it wtse to tell you about one or two depiIatories. While they are not the surest way of getting rid of the horrid fuzzers still in a great many cases they do sovereign service. It is well to re- mem Der, when using a depilatory, that one should not expect immediate re- suits. The only thing to do is to con- tinue it's use until the hairs disappear Sometimes it takes many months to kill the hair roots.
 A very good depilatory, and one that has won friends among the fair sex, is made of the following formula:
 Good Hair Remover
 Sulphuret of barium . ounces Water .-12 ounces
 Add enough cornstarch to this so- lution to make a paste, then smear it on the obnoxious hairs. When paste is dry, brush it off and the hairs will come away with it!
 If this compound irritates the skin it would be good plan to innme- diately cover inf1amed skin with olive oil, as this application will quickly soothe the outraged cuticle.
 Understand that this paste only re- moves hair temporarily, and that the roots will send forth new and stronger shoots inside of three or four days, which in turn must be burnt off
 So goes the treatme ent, month after month, until the hair roots give up the battle.
 When using any epiIatory-wheth- CT on the face or neck or arnas-it is we'll first to test the strength of the

Prof. Larkin was born in La Sale County, H., April 5, 1847, and his for mai education was very limited. From his youth the study of the heavens held a fascination for him, and he de- tern1ined to become an astronomer. He was thirty-three when he realtz- ed his ambition, opening and becom- ing the director of the New Windsor Observatory in Illinois In 1882 he went to the Knox College Ghserva- se=y and in 1900 was offered and ac- lepted the directorship of the Lowe Observatory, perched on the summit of Echo Mountain, in the Sierra Ma dres of California.

The first electric battery was the invention of Alessandro Volta, of the University of Pavia, who died seventy six years ago today. It was in 1900 that Volta announced his epocha1 dis covery of the ''voltaic pile" which was composed of disks of zine and silver, and moistened card, and was the crude forerunner of the electric battery of to-day. He was a con temporary of Galvani, and engaged in a bitter controversy with that pioneer in electrical science. The words gall vanic and voltaic, now in common use, were derived from the names of these two inventions. VoIta's first electric battery consisted of a disc of zinc and another of silver-for which copper was soon substituted-separa by a disc of cardboard, and moistened with water. By connecting a number of pairs of these circles electricity was developed. Volta was the scion of noble Italian family, and Napoleon made him a count of the kingdom of Italy.

brazen audacity, the cheek, the mar vicious assurance, to speak to the Earl without first being formally in troduced, and the young nobleman was highly incensed.
 Since returning to England, the Earl of Leven and Melville has gone into trade. having joined a firm of merchants in London. Going into trade used to be abhorrent to all the best instincts of the British nobility, but of late it has become so common that Lord Leven's venture provoked not a ripple of excitement. The first ancestor of the young Earl to win place in the pages of history was Ba- ron Melville, who was sent as an am bassador to England to plead for the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. The first Earl of Leven was a distinguish ed soldier, who served in Holland and Sweden, and who took part in the civ il war afterward worked for the res toration. The present Earl is an OK ford man and has held the title since he was twenty. He is the owner of about 5000 acres.
 Among other young nob1es who have gone into trade, are Lord Vic tor Paget, who is employed in the of fee of a broker; Lord Acheson, who holds a similar position, and Lord Maidstone, who has work ed his way up to an influential place in an office in ''the city,

Jean Antoine Charmion, who has just been declared legally missing by a Paris court, will celebrate his 146th birthday tomorrow, if he is still alive. Descendants of Jean, wHno was born on April 6, 1767, entertain a suspicion that perhaps he is dead, and are trying to get possession of a fortune to which M. Charmion is the rightful heir. Jean disappeared from his accustomed haunts just a century ago, in 1913, and since then his estate has been the subect of legal proceed edings. Now that Jean is de- clared legally missing" the heirs hope that in the course of the next century he may be considered legal iy dead.''
