FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1899.
We hope the third house will not
invite corporations to come up to the
captain’s office until after Lent.
Holders of dividend paying stocks
are among those who are pleased to
welcome the New Year.
Notwithstanding the one and a
quarter billion dollars exports in eleven
months some Norwalkers are hanging
on to the 16 to 1 falacy.
Owing to the conflicting claims it is
rather difficult to predict the v;
of the senatorial persimmon.
It is stated that there is no profane
word in the Japanese language. If a
citizen of Japan misses his trolley car
there seems to be no relief for it except
silent distrust.
The absence of Sons of Rest from the
street corner is another indication that
prosperity is here.
The treasury of the city highway
committee is in the hands of its friends
ready for expansion.
Rebekah promises to produce a sur-
plus for the hospital treasury. May
she realize her expectations.
If Li Hung Chang lives until next
February he will be 76 years Old. And
yet they say the Chinese must go.
The election of Frank B. Brandegee
to be speaker of the Connecticut‘l-Iouse
is a deserved compliment to ayoung
man of marked abil1ty.
The eleventh of January will be. a
memorable day in the life of at least
one Connecticut Statesman.
The VYEEKLY GAZETTE enters upon
its ninety-nintl‘i year of publication
with this issue. There are but 37 news-
paper the United

history of the town’s happenings in ex-
istence, and are therefore a valuable
reference.

THE OTHER FELLOWS. '
Eggs are eggs in these times and
great indeed is the. popularity of the
hen that lays.—-—.\Ieriden Journal.
President Clark of the Consolidated.
road is to take a trip up theNile. Can
it be possible that he does this with a
view to adding to the marine division
of his railrozic1.-~—)lt:w Britain [-lerald.
There was a little earthquake in New
Jersey on the evening of the iii st, but
it was supposed to be “.lcz'sey light-
ning" at first and did not attract much
attention.“Bridgeport Standard.
The sub-treasuries will be. immedi-
ately supplied with the new bills, and
we hope that private citizens who don‘t
find the thousand dollar bills as plenty
as they ought to be will have good luck
with ‘he new dollar bills.-— New Haven

The New Year won’t lose much of its
vouth before furnishing some object
lessons to political observers in Hart-
ford that there is more territory and
more people in the little state of C on
necticut than can be seen from the
dome of the state capitol.——Stamford
Advocate.
It seems that the. trainmen of the
Consolidated road are not exactly
pleased over the edict that has gone
out relative to their use of tobacco
while on duty. If the company would
forbid passengers from squirting to-
bacco juice, all over the cars perhaps,
I
the trainmen would not so resent the
new command.—-Meriden Republican.
The president has proven his great-
ness and his worthiness to be honored
with a second term, and there is not
a man in the Republican ranks but
would welcome Gen. “Joe”. Wheeler
into the party and be willing to have
» his welcome sealed with’the vice-
. presidential nomination.

tion before which even Dewey and
Lee would fall.—~Ansonia Sentinel.
The Norwalk Gazette will be ninety-
nine' years old to-morrow. A simple ex-
ercise in mathematics will demonstrate
that one year from to-morrow it will be
one hundred, and we congratulate the
staunch old sheet in advance on the
successful completion of its first cen-
tury run, and hope to live long enough
to congratulate it upOn the finish of the
second—New Haven News, Dec. 31.

\Vrong Poeln for an Experiluent.
There was once a martlwznaticnl
tutor in one of our great universzm-g
who was in the habit of lu,).-1s111:-g that
he neither knew or cared to know any-
thing about poets or poetry. and con-
sidered it all “a lot of llllDi':l(:il(':ll
rot.” A certain brother tutor, anxious
to convert him. gave him the funnies
“Charge of the Light Brigade" to
read.
The mathematician tool: it up and
began to read aloud thus: “Half a
league, half a league. half a league—~-"
Then he banged 'the book down. ex-
claiming. impatiently, “Well. if the
fellow meant a league and a half. why
on. earth didn’t he say so?”——Keystone.

Many People Cannot Drink
coti'ee at night. It spoils their sleep
You can drink Grain-O when you
please and sleep like a top. For
Grain-O does not stimulate; it nourish-
es, cheers and feeds. Yet it looks and
tastes like the best coffee. For nervous
persons, young people and children
Grain-O is the perfect drink. Made
from pure grains. Get a package from
your grocer today. Try it in place of
coffee. 15 and 250.
Origin of Calling Cards,
A French journal says that visiting
cards are. not of recent invention. nor
even of European origin. They exist-
ed in China twelve centuries ace. but
their use did not spread to France
until the last century. "he (‘lzinese
cards. however. had little resemblance
to those in use in Europe ”to-day. They
contained often wonderful designs. ex-
pressing all sorts of good wishes for
those for whom they were intended.
The size of the card indicated the re
speet the owner had for Its recipient.
In the seventeenth century, the Bug
lish ambassador at Pekin received
eighteen feet long, which was carried
by six men. Card's were illustrated
with designs. the work frequently of
artists of reputation, when first intro-
duced in France. Mythological sub
jects were most in vogue.
These were in fashion until the first
empire, and it was not until 1845.
when the use of cards became univer-
sal, that the name on them was en-
graved in the simple form of to-day.~

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
vails in this country, dangerous be-
cause so deceptiVe. it comes 0n so
slowly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is,
First, Kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba-
go, frequent desire to urinate. often
with a burning sensation. the flow of
urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
It allowed to advance. this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down between the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to urinate,
With scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with dif-
ficulty. sometimes ntuzessary to draw it
with instruments. if urieaeid orgravel
has formed, it will prove dangerous if
neglected.
The third stage is Bright’s Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad-
der specialist. has discovered a Remedy
famous for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot.
It is sold by all diuggisls.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp-Roof, a
sample bottle and book of valuable in--
formation will be sent absolutely free
