“After Water.”
The Bridgeport Post is startled at the
fact that “a Norwalk man is after
water.” Of course from the Bridge-
port standpoint, this would be extra—
ordinary and startling. Were a Bridge-
port man caught boring for water, a
commission lquatic‘o would instantly be
summoned to act upon such an extra-
E ordinary and abnormal a case.
A Promising oyster Season.
-All the indications in regard to the
oyster interests at present, point to an
exceedingly good season this fall. The
oysters are prime and ill good condi-
lion, and the difficulties which beset
the oyster interests last spring now be-
ing removed, the oystermen are look-
ing forward to a big and prosperous
fall business. This has become one of
Norwalk’s largest and most important
business interests and anything serious-
ly affecting its success and prosperity
affects the well-being of our town. Suc-
cess therefore, _to theioystermen.
Our Long Drought.
All Connecticut seems to have suf-
fered exceptionally by reason of the
long continued drought. In Windham
county, wells, streams and reservoirs,
are giving out andthe farmers are put
to it to get watbrifor their cattle. In
Mystic, house-’wii'es are reported as
paying a shilling a tub full for water to
do the family washing. No rain has
fallen in Willimantic in eighty days.
All along the Connecticut shores of
Long Island 'Sdulnd the extreme dry
period has prevailed and the _loss to
crops and in pastures in Fairfield coun-
ty must be enormous.
New York Candidate for C$*Jernor.
There is increasing talk of Hon. Levi
P. Morton as the coming republican
governor of New York. Recent advices
from Paris leave no doubt in the mind
of his friend General Tracey that Mr.
Morton will take the nomination if the
state convention thrust it upon him. If
Mr. Morton is nominated, his plurality
promises to be a hummer. Candid
democrats concede (in private talk)
that it is not at all unlikely to touch the
100,000 mark. The latest on dit is that
Hon. Thomas C. Platt despatched his
son to Paris by Saturday’s steamer to
obtain Mr. Morton’s consent to run.
’ A Fact.
It is well that yesterday afternoon’s
fire did not occur up town. If any such
blaze as that occurred up there and the
same amount of water was necessary to
be used, there would be no water left
in their rcservoir.—South Norwalk
News.
It is undeniable that for the extin-
guishment of fires and for fertilizing
lawns and gardens, our sister city’s
water supply is beyond ours and they
are justified down there in cackling
over our present infe:ior supply. Ours
is not so repugnant to taste and smell,
and it is to be hoped that very soon the
scant supply in periods of drought will
be provided against, as can easily be"
done and as our Water Commissioners
have been empowered to do.

The Corn Scare.
The recent extraordinary rise in the
price of corn, ostensibly because of dis«
couraging crop prospects, was note-
worthy only for one. thing, that the
price went above that of wheat. Mere
speculative rises have been frequent in
the prices of all the cereals as well as in
provisions of every kind, but in most
instances there have been' some proper
relations between the bread-producing
grains upon a speculator’s .market.
This unusual feature of the recent ad-
vance in corn gives rise to a good deal
of doubt as to the truth of the report
that the sharp advance was the report
of buying orders from country specula-
tors. Real countrymen,that is farmers
and those trading in farm products,
know that of all the bread grains, corn
is least injured by heat and drought.
It revels in hot weather and, being a
deep- rooted plant, draws moisture from
along distance below even a parched
surface. They likewise are familiar
with the fact that for almost every pur~
pose butthat of distilling, wheat is worth
more than corn, and that a rise ,which
sends “the p’i‘ibe of corn above that of
wheat must 15's speculative and fictitious.
The country speculators‘iwho are not
aware of these facts can hardly have
been born and reared among the farms.
That a long continuanceof the exist-
a
at the abnormal rates. Let the pEro-
fessional bulls and bears elevate and
depressthe market as they can, and.
have all the fun and profit from the op-
cration. They can get out of it; but
the countryman who is beguiled into
paying more for corn than the ruling
prices for wheat, must be a very green
countryman indeed.

_ Her. Savage Pets.
Eccentric Miss Agnes Murray, who
is supposed to be rich and lives on a
handsome place on Greenfield Hill,and
..who has gained some notoriety for
keeping a pack' of vicious dogs, is again
in trouble on account of them. The
home of Frederick Bronson,the wealthy
New York club man, is at Greenfield
Hill. His farm, where he keeps his
South Down sheep, is adjacent to the
place owned by Miss Murray. ,Mr.
Bronson has a large flock of the sheep.
They are kept in a large fold. .Fore-
man Lobbell on the farm was notified
that dogs had afitacked the sheep and
were in the pen illing them. He mis-
trusted that they were the dogs belong-
ing to Miss Murray, and, know1ng how
savage they were and his inability to
cope with them alone, he called for as-
sistance. Burr Merwin, a neighbor,
and Morris L. Wilson arrived with shot-
guns. '
At the pen they found three dogs
among the sheep, and‘on the ground
were a score or more of sheep and
lambs badly bitten. The dogs, sur-
prised in their work, turned on the
men. They started first for Wilson.
He took aim and fired. One of the
dogs gave a leap into the air and then
stiffened out dead. Another dog came
running to join the attack and Wilson
fired again. This time the aim was too
high, and the voice of a man instead
of a dog greeted him. When the smoke
cleared away Burr Merwin was seen
lviug on the ground badly wounded.
The dog was ago badly wounded, and,
maddened wi pain, dashed toward
Merwin. A well-directed shot from
Wilson killed the dog before he reached
his prey. The other dog escaped.
Merwin was taken to his home, where
he now lies in a precarious condition,
with the chances of his recovery doubt.
ful. About a year ago Miss Murray’s
do’gs killed seven of Mr. Bronson’s
sheep, and he sued her for $1,500. . The
case is still pending. Recently a Judg-
ment was rendered against Miss Mur-
ry iii—favor of a young woman who was
attacked by- her dogs and badly bitten.
Another lawsuit will probably be be-
gun by Mr. Bronson.
Rev. J. A. Biddle Recommened.

A Bad Break.
There was a bad break in the water
pipe at the foot of Mill Hill, Saturday
evening. It was about the worst break
of the kind that has occurred in the
city for a long time. Quantities of
earth and stone were buried in all
directions and the sidewalks on the
south side of the street were flooded.
The break prevented the trolley cars
from running at that point and trans-
fers were made each side of the exca-
vation. James Powell in attempting to
cross sank in the mud nearly up to his
hips, and a young man can: bicycle
was unceremoniously tumbled in the
street.- Coroner Roach in a short time

more than a “city of ‘he dead.” It is a
well. kept—garden. I ll fact it may be ques-
tioned whether the florist does not do
more to beautify it than do the stone-
cutter and monument maker. Flpwers
and shrubs are always pretty. Nature is
an artist who never blunders. But the
well meant efforts of relatives and friends
to perpetuate in granite and marble the
memory of their dead often result in pro-
ductions which, but for the fact that
criticism under the circumstances might
be regarded as profanation, would be
considered as desecrations of art.
Within a. stone’s throw of the entrance
to Woodlmvn Cemetery half a dozen
florists have established themselves.
Though close. association with mortuary
relics is supposed to beget a habit of’pen-
sive' melancholy, these men are all jolly,
good natured fellows. That is because
they 'are prosperous and are not under
such obligations as the undertakers to as-
' sume an air of sympathetic sorrow when
transacting business that puts, dollars in
their pockets. One of them toldtnie that,
irrespective of the floral offerings brought
from the city by attendants at funerals,
he estimated that there was expended on
flowers, plants and shrubs for \Voodlawn
Cemetery at least $100,000. This was only
a guess, of course, but he was as well
qualified to make a guess as anybody.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it
'is not the sorrow stricken relatives who
make the grit-yes look like miniature gar-
dens, but the professional florists who un-
dertake the work for so much a. year. For
keeping in order a single grave the pro-
‘priet'nry right in which is restricted to
the space’it occupies the usual charge is
$5 a year. But for a grave in a family
burial plot, where the mound itself forms
merely the centrepiece as it were of the
surrounding garden, the usual charge is
W'here there are two such
graves in one plot the price would be only
$20 each. As the number of graves is ill'
creased further reductions are made in
the average cost of plantiu g and attending
to each. The charges then becomes. mat-
ter of special contract. For taking 'care
of a plot containing from eight to ten
graves a florist’s chargesewill range,s‘o
one of them told me, from $100 to $15013.
year.
These prices, of course, include plant—
ing as well as attendance. In the best
kept plots there are three plantings a
year. In the first week in April, if the
weather, is propitious, the first takes .
.place. Pansies, daisies and forget-me"-
nots are usually selected. In J une,.-roses,
carnations, geraniums and other seasona-
ble flowers are laid out. In the fall chrvs-
No
high bushy ”borders are allowed. The
favorite border is composed of the Echev-
eria. glauca, commonly called hen and
chickens, a small. bluish white fleshy
leaved plant bearing little blue and yelo
low flowers. ,The swoet alyssuin is also a
favorite fer bordering purposes. ‘ The
Vines minor. or blue myrtle, is generally
selected for the top of the grave. English
iVy is gaining in popularity. In fact,
there seems to be a growing tendency to
select for the adornment of cemeteries the
i . smaller and less pretentious flowers and
plants, whose presence is not suggestive
of anything like vulgar display. r
The florist who takes charge of the
grave is supposed to water it three times
a' week when nature does not perform that
'task for him. The floral adornment of
burial plots is also undertaken by the
Cemetery Association itself, bequests
‘ Often being left for that express purpose.
‘ In some of the burial plots are recep-
tacles for cut flowers, which are replen-
ished for three times a week during seven .
-months of the year. The florist usually
charges for these bouquets fifty cents
each, and more when the flowers desired
are of- an expensive character or have to
be furnished in greater abundance. From
these figures it will be seen that to keep
the memory of a loved one literally green:
andflfragrant is an expensive business. -
Relatives visiting Au. grave frequently}
purchase potted flowers of the florists that.
they may have the satisfaction of plant4
ing thenrwhere their loved-ones repose
with'their own-hands. There is seldom
any dickeriiig about such transactions.
The. florist names his price and gets it,
and then lends- his customers a 'trovvel.
that they may plant the flowers properly.
The trowel is invariably retm'ned.
Decoration Day is a gala day for the
florists around a cemetery. But if the
weather be fine they will make almost as
much money at Christmas, for that is
when flowers are luxuries and come high. ,
’ Like other people, the cemetery florists
believe in making hay while the sun
shines. Time heals many a sorrow, and
when aflyoun g widow marries again she is
apt to consider that the money spent on
the adornment of her first husband’s
grave is a. needless piece of. extravagance.
And if her consciellcc pricks her she calls
to her aid the philosophical reflection that
it can make no (liffererlceto him anyhow

E The Sources of Heat.
Meteorologists say that the heat of the
air is due to six sources. 1, that from the
interior of: the earth; 2, that from the
stars; 3, that from the moon; 4. that from
the friction of the winds and tides; 5, that
from the meteors; 0, that from the sun.
