Snoring Scores.
There is no telling, says the New Ha-
.ven Journal and Courier, what discom-
fort and misery are caused by snoring.
Snoring banished sleep from those
obliged to hear it and therefore unable
to snore themselves. It hurts and even
destroys love. What refined young wom-
‘ man or young man can hear her or his
loved one snoring and not have her or
his IOVc shocked? And have we not re-
cently read of divorce suits based on
the fact that love has been slain by
snores? Little can be said in favor of
snoring,but that little ought to be said,
for the snoring habit is prevalent and
persistent, and in most cases it is not
. wicked. Those who snork can’t help it,
although sometimes their snorking
could be mitigated by less indulgence
in eating and drinking. When it can
he so mitigated and isn’t it is wicked.
Those who snore either piously or
wickedly, and have hitherto had no de-
fense to offer for it will be somewhat
sustained by a development which has
just developed in Milwaukee, and they
will hereafter be able to say that snor—
ing may save them from prison or even
from the gallows. It appears that Rob-
ert Wagner of Milwaukee has been
saved from going to the penitentiary
because he is the owner and user of a
peculiar ear-piercing, nerve-shattering
snore. Robert. it seems, owned a ware-
house. which burned the other night
., under circumstances which indicated
incendiarism. He was arrested and a
clear case of circumstantial evidence
was made out against him. At the last
moment two nieces proved a complete
alibi for him by swearing that during
the night in question they were kept
awake by their uncle's snore, which
was as regular and persistent that night
as usual, and was fully identified by
them.
Score one, therefore, for snoring. It
is only one, to be sure, but one is more
than none. Perhaps we shall soon hear
that a snorer has scared away burglars.
or that thOSe who have been kept.
. awake by a snorer' have.

; ’ Look Out for Cider.
If there is one local product having.
more natural fame than another, it is
Jersey cider. Away back in revolution-
ary days Jersey cider had a reputation,
and although many rivals have tried to
demonstrate their superiority, the at-
tempts have resulted in ignominious ,,
failure. As a far-reaching and un-
rivaled/production of American inge-
nuity, thezcider manufactured in Jer-
sey stands aloneand unapproachable.
Clifton, N. J ., has a fire department.
The majority of its citizens are business
'men who spend their days in New York,
and seeing the daily displays of the
New York fire laddies, they were in-
spired with the idea of havingafire
depiirtment in Clifton. They organized
one, and all Clifton rejo1ced therein.
A truck that had seen service in Pas-
saic, near by, was purchased, and "a re-
ception for the same was gotten up.

partment spent their days in New

of the Passaic department, the chief
of the Paterson department, and other
distinguished firefighters. The
freshments'were served in' the fire-
house, and at the head of the menu was
the-‘word cider. The Clifton firemen
are mostly abstainers from liquid re-
freshments, but the few who are not,
re-
and the guests,made such frequent calls
for cider as to arouse suspicion, and an
investigation, quietly prosecuted, dis-
closed the fact that quite a number of
disreputable black bottles,
whisky labels, were reposing in a cor-

The more precise of the guests, and
also members of the fire company who
had not partaken of the’cider, had been
unable to account for the excessive hil-
arity attending the feast. It was in-
comprehensible thatcidershould induce
such a degree of constantly increasing
enthusiasm as was manifested during
the progress of'the banquet, and the
conservative element participating in
the function were naturally alarmed at
the conviviality displayed by the guests
The reception was given to the chief '

FEMININE CHAT.
Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus are very
much in evidence in the shops these
evenings.
When you feel ill the ordinary rou-
tine of the day seems the hardest of
hard work.
All sortsof pretty neckwear in at-
tractive boxes suggest (.‘hristmas gifts
of unusual desirability.
No woman is satisfied with her pho-
tograph unless it makes her look infin-
itely prettier than she knows she is.
The woman who does not sit on the
floor to put on her shoes and stockings
is indeed in the progressive class.
Some persons feel better as soon as a
doctor prescribes for them, and long
before they take a single dose of the
medicine.
It rather lessens the romantic glam-
our generally surrounding a popular
actor to-learn that a certian matinee
girl’s idol was in the habit of throw-
ing eggs at his wife and smashing um—
brellasover her head.
The man who frankly acknowledges
that his mother didn’t know anything
about cooking is the one nine out of
ten girls will consider a desirable hus-
band.
An odd Iittle salad to serve at a Sun
day night supper is made of scallops-
and lettuce.‘ ‘- Scald the'scallops in salt-
ed boiling water for three minutes.
When cold cut each- in two. Prepare
a French dressing, adding a touch of
cayenne, and mix well with scallops.
Serve in a salad bowl surrounded with
crisp young lettuce leaves. '

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a. bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition 'of the kidneys
When urine stains linen‘it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out ofvorder.
WHAT To on.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
I scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
' fects following use, of liquor, wine, or '
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
I necessity of being compelled to get up
' many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
. elfect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
- It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
