Merchants Week Feature on Union
 Square This Morning.

On Unior square this morning be- ginning at 1e45 o'clock will occur the biggest outside feature of Merchants week. the fire department demonstra- ton arranged by Chief Stanton.
 It will begin with the old Torrent engine as previously announced and will be followed by a bewildering suc- cession of events given by the upto date Norwich department.
 TodayS demonstration by the mod ern fire department of Norwich, in contrast with the 145 year old Torrent fire engine directs attention to the second fire safeguard of the town, as described by Miss Mary l.. Perkins. in her valuable book, Old Houses of Norwich. In early days Norwich Land ing was the name given the present city. Miss Perkins writes:
 Tn 1ISS, the citiSSenS of Norwich Landing, disturbed by the many fires which were constantly occurring, re- solved to have a fire-engine. At the desire of some of his friends, Thomas Harland sent in proposals, which were accepted and he made, not as supposed the fire-engine of Norwich, but one which was evidently of superior con struction to the one used at Norwich Town. In the Norwich Packet MT. Harland tells the story of his work.
 The gentlemen of Norwich Land e ing having determined to purchase q Fire Engine. expressed wish that J would inspect some of the latest made and most approved machines of the kind. that if there were any new imprOyemel ts I might adopt them.
 Having found one that appeared to me superior to any l had seen, l took the exact plan and dimensions of it. and as 1 did not see anything 1 could make any improvement upon, 1 ad- hered to said plan with very little intentional variation. MT. Samuel Thomas assisted in making said en- zine; he did all the woodwork and also assisted in some other, parts of the machinery. The valves, the pis- tons, the large screws for the several joints, I made myself; two of my ap-
 prentices, with a smith and found

 Thomas Harland was the grand | father of General Edward Harland and when he designed the famous fire | engine, 126 years ago, was a silver | smith at Norwich Town, having the | grandfather of former President Gro yer Cleveland as one of his appren- | tices, and occupying the present liar | land homestead. on Sentry Hill, built hV him abOut 17T3.

To Keep the Face
 Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic care of the complexion is its physical care. To keep the face clean, fresh, youthful, there's nothing better than common mercolized wax. It absorbs the soiled or faded wornout skin parti- cIes. Cosmetics simply add unwhole someness to the complexion. That's the difference. By all means, acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's so easy to get an ounce of the, wax at the druggists apply at night like cold cream and wash it off next morning. There's no detention indoors, the old skin coming off so gradually no one suspects you're using anything. When in a week or two the alluringly youth full roselike, underskin is fully in view-welI. you won't want, or need. makeup complexion after that. It must be apparent that this process means complete riddance of all cutaneouS blemishes like freckles, pimpIes, blotches and blackheads.
 For obstinate wrinkles a face bath made by dissolving an ounce of saXo- lite in half pint witch hazel sur passes massage cream and everything else for results.
