COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
We are beginning to have some ex-
cellent wheeling weather, in fact th
season has just commended but :we
girls, ha Je two enemies still unconquer-
ed "and what are they" asked the.
sympathetic one.
Well, Iwill tell' you. One is the
abominable “deluge” cart commonly
known as the street sprinkler. Thi
apparatus, however, efficacious in some
places, is a public nuisance to the
wheeling contingent and should be
abated.
I have noticed that the editor has
several times called attention to this
vexatious annoyance and I want to add
my protest.
I think nowthat the 1. wheeling com-
munity is in the majority instead of
the minority that there should be some
consmeration 0f their interests on the
par t of our local lawmakers.
Some time since the city laid a fine
brick pavement on Wall street which
was very much needed and shows the
d11ect10n in which we as a town are
t1aveling. We are prospering and
progreSsing. But there is just this
much about it, and I think the larger
portion of citizens will agree, With me.
I think that we migh*_bette1 have
saved the expense of it, and put up with
the old roadway if the brick is to be
left 1n its. generally filthy condition
And the sin inkling cart is the “bone
of contention” in this instance. It
passes .thnough the street and “pours”
the water on the soil and when the
bicycles come along they pick up the
vile refuse and carry it away with
them, much to the riders disgust and
annoyance.
The. second enemy to pleasurable
riding is found in ’the dressing' of.
crushed stone which wasinconsiderate—
ly placed on the South Norwalk city
portion of West avenue. This tire
puncturing substance covers the entire
surface of the road and has caused
many punctures to rubber tires.
A bicycle path should have rightly
been left for wheelmen, but now the
evil is done‘II let the road roller be
used to remedy it. -
Why do we dearly purchase our
luxuries with one hand and ruthlessly
waste and destroy them with the other 2’
g gory/[oz af’fgclte.

WEEKLY '
ROCKS THE BABY'S CRADLE.
Electricity at Last May Be Said to Rule
the World.
The baby has been the last membei
of the family to which electricity has
prov-ed a. boon. All the other member:
of the family down to the cook have
in one form or another, been benefic-
iaries of electric science, and now the
electric cradle, with its fanciful revolv-
ing fairy-like lights, delights the hear:
of its youngest member. In many Oi
the American residences electricity is
employed for lighting, for electric ele-
vators, and sundry minor domestic pur-
poses, and for such houses the mot01
cradle is now provided. This device is
.1 great improvement on the old rocker
as it can be set in motion and will rut
indefinitely. The motion is impart-
ed to the cradle by means of a. small
electric motor, and connection with thl
current supply being made by mean:
of a. flexible cord and plug attached
either to the electrolier or to a. specia.
socket in the base board. The. motlot
may be accelerated or slackened simply
by turning a. switch, causing the mot01
to run at different speeds. At the £001
of the cradle is a revolving globe stud-
tied with lamps of different colors, and
as soon as the cradle is set in motion
these are illumined and their eve1
changing colors are a. constant sourcc
of delight to the children. Any one wht
has watched a. child assume the mom
uncomfortable positions in order to
watch the lights in a trolley car wil’
appreciate the amusement these re-
volving lights will afford a baby. Once
baby’s mind is directed to the lamp thl
slow even motion of the cradle and thq
constant flickering lights soon lull bin
to sleep—Philadelphia. Record.
AS MANY KINDS OF TURTLES AS FISH
But of This Great Variety Only Two Cat
Bo Converted Into Soup.
When, on occasions all too rare, you
have indulged in green Iturtle soup
have you ever given thought to th1
turtle? .
Did you ever know that there wen
turtles of so many kinds that ~"it re-
quired the mind of a naturalist to re-
member their names? ‘- And did you
know that out'of'all these, only twc
varieties were convertible into savory
soup? ' They are the Chelonia. My.
das and a. variety of terrapin.
-‘ "They are caught mainly in Ithe Gull
of Mexico. .. The desirable weight fox
a turtle is from 110 to 140 pounds. I?
is a. delicate being and requires tender-
est care or it will inconsideratelf di1
before being cooked. At the same time
by an almost feminine contradiction, ii
is quite likely to refuse to die for twelve
or fifteen hours after having its head
chopped off.
The turtle which provides soup to:
Aldermanic banquets and that which
provides combs for Alden-manic .wive:
are not the same‘brand. The latter i:
the hawk’s- bill turtle.
The common turtle is the only' am
phibious animal whose contentment, it
prov erbial, but whOse brain is so Sinai
that it can 't be taught a. single in 1c}.—
