Biblical Traditions Followed in the Home Life, Which Keeps Successive Gen- erations Under One Roof—- Model Housekeepers. The school of the Armenian woman is the hOme, and the first character- istic of the home, after its piety, is its industry. The households are large, sons bringing home their wives and grandsons, theirs making up a. family Often of from forty to sixty persons. In the interior villages among the peasantry, the number is often much larger, This condition is a. relic of Biblical times, and is still necessary in many parts of Armenia. for mutual protection and economy of living in a. country where life is Often dependent 'upon resistance to barbarous tribes and money and food products are sub- ject to the justice (‘2‘) of Turkish taxa- tion. . With primitive utensils and incon« venient methods of living it maybe seen that industry is a necessity in such greatestablishments, and abso- lute cleanliness goes with it. A Frenchwoman, Mme. Chantre, who spent months in Armenia. with her husband, an oculist, and had an un- usual opportunity to study the ways of the people, speaks emphatically Of this element of the Armenian home. “The Armenian women,” says she, “are perfect housekeepers. Their houses are marvelously clean.” The servant problem does not exist in Armenia. All well-to-do households employ servants Who come from the peasantry, and are trained in the service of a family;and become a part They “know their place,” as is said here, and yield all respect to their masters and mistresses; on the other hand, their “place” is known and re- spected by every member of the family. The Armenian women are expert and skillful cooks. Aprominent for- eigner who has traveled much through the'i- country has said: “No one has eaten a. good dinner who has not eaten one cooked by an Armenian.” The chief meal of the day is eaten in the evening after the work of the day is done. At this are served rich cereals and vegetables cooked with sur- passing delicacy and relish, and fruits, preserved and in their sea.- son, of the most luscious and tempting varieties. Meat is used, but not so much as here. Armenia. is a. land Of fruit and flowers, and the Armenian woman is deeply skilled in the art of preserving fruits and making confections from flowers. The time of such compound- ing and preparation is a sort of holi- day. The whole household gathers for the ceremony; the fruit is prepared and put into great caldrons over which presides some experienced aunt or other relative specially secured for the occasion. The rest of the women as- sist according to the degree .of their expertness, down to the younger daughters of the home, who can only earnestly watch and admire the skill which it is their ambition to emulate some day. At the critical moments of the operation, when a drop more or less of lemon juice or an added degree of heat too soon or too late may be fatal, care and watchfulness are in- tensified to the superlative degree. Silence. reigns while tastes and tests are taken, and the weight of a. nation can hardly burden its bearer more than the responsibility of her on whom rests the final decisive step. For the children it is a holiday pure and simple. Fruits and sweets abound and saucerfuls Of the confections at various stages Of the process are gen- erously dealt out. These preserves are offered to all who are guests of the household. Ceremonious visits would not be com- plete Without them. Two fine glass bowls are set out containing each a. choice variety of the sweetmeats, with an ample supply of silver spoons and an array of crystal goblets filled with water. A spoonful of the sweet is taken by each guest and a. sip of wa- ter, then Turkish coffee is handed round—N. Y. Times. Men Invented Corsets. The much maligned corset was in- vented and first worn by men. The earliest mention in the history of the article was by Aristophanes, who lived in the fifth century, B. C. In one of his comedies he ridicules a. brother poet, who, inordinately vain of his personal beauty, was dissatisfied with the shape of his figure, which was far removed from .ideal symmetry, being much too thin for his height. He therefore hit upon the plan of improv- ing his physique, by incasing his body in an under-cuirass, made of little pieces of wood. The idea. was imitated later on by another man, Emperor An- tonius Pius, who found great difficulty in persuading the Roman women to follow his example—N. Y. World. .' -_A"n 'Irreslstible Offer. “How many p’onies will Ben’s-Spur give for the' hand of Homemade-Pie?" It was the maiden’s father, the great chief Bear’s-Breath, who spoke. “I have no ponies,” answered the young suitor, as he stood dangling the scalp of a red-headed man, which hung from his belt. “Ugh! Bean-Pod offers fifty dollars and a mule,” said the chief, with a. dis- dainful wafture of the hand. “But—” pleaded the youth. The chief turned to listen. “But I have a. bicycle, and you may ride it on the Fourth of July of every leap year.” With a. bound the chief clasped Hen’s-Spur in his arms. . . “Homemade-Pie is yours,” he said—i Harper’s Bazar. A Classical Instance. “I hear,” said Diana the huntress, as she rested her toe for an instant on the pedestal, “that Pygmalion is in love with Galatea.” ' “Indeed!” ejaculated the Bust of Minerva; “well, it’s a. cinch that he gets the marble heart. ”—-Puck. “-1!" . .-. . u TSOUTH NORWALK.

A freight car ran ofi' the track at Five Mile River yesterday afternoon, but was gotten on again after a short delay. The Improved Order of Heptasoples will meet in the Mystic Chain Hall on Washington street this evening at 8 o’clock. . Miss May E. Smith, Miss May D. Smith, and George Fitch, of this city, wheeled to Bethel yesterday. They are expected to return home to-day. Charles C. Swartz, who is spending the summer at his father’s cottage in Ridgefield, drove to this city yesterday. and spent the day at his home on Havi- land street. A party of eighteen ladies and gentle men wheeled to Compo Beach yester- day afternoon and took supper. They returned to this city later in the even- in g. Star of Columbia Circle, Compan- ions of the Forest, held their regular monthly business meeting in their rooms in the Swartz & Corbett building on Washington street last night. The members of the Ellis Musical club held their picnic at Comstock Hill yesterday afternoon. They were con- veyed in two large carry-alls. They report having had a most enjoyable. time.

Fitch; Senior Sagamore, A. F. Nash; Junior Sagamore, A. S. Merritt and Prophet, P. A. Miller. The appointed officers will receive their appointments at the next meeting to be held next Tuesday evening. ' To-day is agala day at the Knob. The Girls Literary club is there hold- ing its annual picnic and the Knob Whist club is also meeting at the club house. There will no doubt be a large number of bathers and spectators to watch their antics. The T. G. L. C. went down this morning in a. carry-all. They carried a large number of mam- moth tin horns with which to serenade all whom they passed by the wayside. The American association of General Baggage Agents, of which General Agent George A. Morton of the Con- solidated road is president, will meet in Philadelphia, July 15. Among the topics to be discussed are several of im- portance. Reports will be made by committees on transportation of bicy- cles and baby cabs, on baggage sealing devices, on manner of identification of bicycles in cases of lost checks and on concealed losses. Other papers will be presented by several members. The use of the property of the Con- solidated road by the ubiquitous adver- tising man has assumed such propor- tions as a nuisance that the general superintendent Of the road has been impelled to takegsteps to prevent its further continuance. The defacement of buildings by bill posters has always been a source of annoyance to station agents, the country depots even being ornamented with flaming posters. Cir- culars have been issued giving strict orders against the painting or posting of any signs or other advertisements on the property of the company whether used for railroad purposes or leased to other parties. This rule is especially to be enforced on property leased by the company. James Dowd, of Brooklyn, is visiting Mr. F. B, Coleman at his home on Con- over street. A Stearns Special arrived this morn- ing for H. R. Bulkley & Co., the agents in this city. All of our local dealers say that they had a larger sale of fire crackers this year than ever before. The Haymaker’s will close their charter and elect officers next Tuesday evening in their Wigwam on Washing- ton street. Newsdealer F. B. Coleman sent up another balloon at 8:20 o'clock last night with the order for fire works at- tached, but as yet the letter has not been presented. To-night he will also send up one. The boys are now hard at work hunting for the letter that was attached to the last balloon. Conductor Alfred Weiler’s freight train which passes through this city at 1:20 o’clock for Wilson’s Point met with an accident this morning. While going through the cut this side Of the Meadow street bridge one of the axles on a flat coal car broke and three cars were derailed. Luckily, however, no one was injured. . The wrecker passed through this city about six o’clock bound for the scene of the wreck to clear it up. Engine number 504 was pulling the train. The imbecility of the management of the Norwalk Tramway company was il- lustrated again Monday night. The Nor- walk Yacht club had engaged a special car to take the guests home from the dance that evening and there were about ~ sixty-three passengers aboard, several of whom were from East Norwalk and a number from Norwalk. When the car reached Washington street at 12:20 o'clock the passengers were notified that the car would go no further. There wasa decided kick by the up- town people but the conductor refused to go on, saying that his orders were to step at Washington street. The pas- sengers, among whom .were a number of ladies without escorts, very foolishly aligbted and walked the streets until the last Street Railway car at 1:20 o’clock a. m. took them home. Some day the Tramway company will wake up to the fact that it is a good thing to have friends. What the Tramway com- pany needs most is a manager that knows something about accommodating the public. This contemptable trick played on its patrons at midnight, will cost the Tramway company many a dollar it otherwise would have received from parties who now threaten to put themselves to an inconvenience to ride on the Street Railway cars, a line hav- ing the common sense and decency of running for the accommodation of the public. ————¢~-— EUROPEAN STATISTICS. During the last twocenturies the wealth of Great Britain has increased fortyfold. The amount of gold actually in cir- culation in England is estimated to be 110,000,000 pounds sterling, or about 865 tons. The annual increase of the German nation during the last five years has been more than five times as much as that of the French. I The feminine element is terribly in excess in Germany, the women exceed- ing the men by more than 1,000,000, according to the latest statistics. The people have long since learned that the most disagreeable medicines are not nec- essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are not. What is wanted is something mild and sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea. Remedy. That is really pleasant to take when reduced with water and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged everywhere to be the most successful remedy in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any number Of druggists for the best remedy they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufi‘um Of Friendsville, Susquehanna Co., Pa., says : “We have ,used it in our family for pain in the stomach, colic and diarrhoea and found it to be a most effective remedy.” For sale by E.

No- tice how skilfully Prof."Dufour makes a little strip of glass take shape and finally grow into a thing of beauty? It is wonderful! When he isn't at work in the window he is probably down stairs in the Crockery depart- ment where it is a more comfortable place to bend over a blue flame and design fragile ornaments. One of his most peculiar exhibits is what he calls ‘frosting’ glass—showing how far it can be made to expand before it will break, blowing the bubble until it becomes so thin that the cooler air ‘ irosts’ it. | The exhibition will continue all this week; be sure and have the children see it—they probably break more glass than you tip.
