STANDARD YARDSTICK. Years of Study and Experiments Wore Necessary to Produce it. “People who handle the yardstick have but little idea of the years oi study and experiments‘ that were nec- essary to secure the standard yard measure," observed an official of the coast .su.rvey "Bird, a famous scientist, made the first standard yard in 1760, but the English government did not legalize it 1824. Ten years afterward when the house of parliament in Lon- don was destroyed by iire, the stand- ard yard was lost, and England was again without a standard yard of length. Sheepsbanks next made a standard measure. which the English government adopted, and, so that it could not be again destroyed by fire, four authorized copies were made of it. One of,.these was deposited in the royal mint, another in the Royal society, another in the observatory at Greenwich, and the fourth was im- bedded in the walls of the new house of parliament. “The standard yard measures which are owned by the government are cop~ les of the original one of which is owned by the coast survey. The Unit- ed States naval observatory has one also. The delicacy of its construction may be gathered by the fact that a change of temperature of one-hone dredth of a degree of Fahrenheit has been found to produce a sensible effect on the length of the bar. “The copies of the standard are made of bronze. for the reason that bronze is less affected by temperature than any distinct or single metal. “The cost of the construction of the original standard yard measure in- volved the labors of Bird and his as- sistants for nearly six years. Sheeps- bnnlis was 11 years in producing the accurate copies which he made from Bird's original measurements."—Wash‘ ington Star. THE CHINESE EAR CLEANER. One of the Strange Sights to be Seer in Manila Streets. in this city of strange and unusual sights there is probably nothing that appears so strange at first sight to the American as the Chinese ear clean- er pursuing his calling on 'the street corners. The Chinamen so engaged is provided with a stool and a small bam- boo case, in which are inclosed his in. struments. The Filipino is just as sure of hav- ing his ears cleaned on Sunday as an American is of having a shave. and in the by streets and alleyways they line up for all the world like a barber shop on Sunday morning, the only difference being the Chinaman can't say “next." First of all the Chino takes a razor which looks more like a propeller blade than anything else, and wiping the victim's face with a wet rag. pr0v ceeds to mop the dirt therefrom. While watching this part of .ne proceedings 1 was surprised at the flexibility of the native nose as demonstrated by the skillful fingers of the operator. To windward. to leeward. on its stern. beam and bow the native's nose is rapidly twisted to avoid the aforesaid razor. Having removed the real es- tate from the native's face. the China- man turns to the more difficult task of ear cleaning. The smallest spot of dirt and the tiniest ficsli worm is re- moved bcforc the operation is com- plete. and from the "heavenly expres- sion" one would imagine that the oper- ation was anything but pleasant—Mn- nila Freedom. AN OLD GORMANDIZER. One Man Who Lived That he Might Simply Eat and Drink. in a little yellowed English maga- zine. dated Api'il. 1804. I came across the following amusing scrap: if the .Duke of Q— does not extend his life to a still longer period, it Will not be for want of culinary comforts and those other succulent arts by which longevity is best promoted. His grace's sustenance is thus daily admin- lstcred: "At 7 in the morning he regales in a wagm milk bath; perefumcd with al- mon powder, w e he takes his tOTTCO anrl/fififlbfid‘mufiin. and iii- terward retires to bed. He rises about 9 and breakfasts on cafe au lait, with new laid eggs just parboiled; at 11 he is presented with two warm jellies and rusques: at 1 he takes a veal cut- let a la Maintenon; at 3 jellies and eggs repeat; at 5 a cup of chocolate and rusques; at 7:30 he takes a hearty dinner from high seasoned dishes, and makes a suitable llbations of claret and madeira: at 10. tea, coffee and muf- fins; nt 12 sups off a roast poulet. with a plentiful solution of lime punch; at l in the morning he retires to bed in 'lllgll spirits and sleeps till 3. when his man cook, to the moment, waits upon him in person with it hot and savory veal cutlct, which with a potation oi wine and water. prepares him for further repose. that continues gener- ally unintcrmpted till the morning summons to his Iacteal bath. ”In this routine of living comforts are the four and twenty hours invari- ably dfvided; so that if his grace does not know. with Sir Toby Belch. 'tnai our life is composed of four elements, he knows at least. with Sir Ague Cheek, 'that is consists in eating and drinking.‘ " Grimes—Look here.

The new store is ready; we want you to see it. It is a new store; near twice as big as the old one, and. full of new things. It’s these new things we want you to see. ' We made a great show at this time last year; it was greater and richer than ever before. With all this added space and such goods as we have to fill it, we shall leave last veer a long way behind. The goods are hung up, set up, spread out, to be seen. It is to bee gratifi- cation time, not a business time at all. You shall buy if you want to; but what we ask you to do is to see, and nothing but see and enjoy. Silks defy description, so bewildering is their beauty. Tints of glo'riOus autumn predominate in them—fab- rics from looms of France, Switzerland and America. Too many do describe. Suchna collection of col- ored dress goods as these was never before seen in Bridgeport. Latest from Paris are here—everything approved of fashion. Black dress goods—black as night—all: sorts. _ In the upholstery depart- ment there is a wealth of at- tractive goods~rugs, cur- tains, screens, French pan- els. Suits and jackets are a part of the displayhf course — wouldn’t be complete without them. Newest fan- cies in tailor-made suits, too. The new crockery depart- ment bristles with new things-thousands of ’em. We expect people from ev- ery near-by town to visit this department in particu- lar. It’s a little exposition of crockery and kitchen- ware goodness. This is sbine week in the shoe department. Every woman is invited to have her shoes shined with, see and hear about Vici dress- ing.

The State Shell Fish Commission held its regular weekly meeting at the office of the commission in New Ha- ven, Tuesday. A deed for thirty acres of land off Norwalk was granted to Lewis E. Raymond, of Rowayton. it seems that not long ago the tract was abano doped to the state by its owner. Wil- liam 1. Stevens. who thought that the tract was worthless for oyster ground. Recently it has been discovered that there Is a good set of oysters there and the property was reclaimed by Mr. Raymond, who is a son- in law of the former owner. Mr. Stevens. The commission discussed the ori- nuai report. work on compiling which is to begin soon. The coming report is expected to be one of the out val- uable for oyster growers tha has yet been issued by the commission.

It is not always best to wait until it is needed before buying a bottle of Chamberlain’s Chollc. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the remedy is required in the very bus- iest season or in the night and much inconvenience and suleriug must be borne before it can be obtained. It costs but a trifle as compared with its real worth and every family can well afford to keep it in their home. It is everywhere acknowledged to be the most successful medicine in the world for bowel complaints. For nle by G. C. Stillson. South Norwolk. and E. P. Weed, Norwalk. \ .
