Ashphalt for City Streets.
'5 Philadelphia is going to test the rela-
tive value of the various brands of as-
phalt. Most ofvthe streets have been
paved with Trinidad asphalt, but some:
contracts have been awarded for the
use of California and other asphalts,
and rock asphalt is now being laid upon
one of its streets. -
This is the asphalt used chiefly in
paving European cities and is generally
regarded as more durable than those of
the Western hemisphere. The prooels
of ‘laying it is different from that em-
ployed in laying the American asphalts,
the material being spread upon the
street in a pulverized state and solidi-
fied and surfaced by the use of hot rol-
lers. The plan of testing the different
asphalts by actual use is a good one, as
this is, after all, the only practical way
of finding out which is the best.
It is believed by many that the cob-
hle stone paving on Wall streeticould be
economically coated with this material
and rendered a smooth andjserviceable
method of repair.

Post Election Notes.
And Arthur Cyclone Wheeler goes
whirring on.
“Boycotts” whether by firemen or a
Citizen’s League, don’t out much ice.
They are misfits with free people.
That License,won doesn’t mean, how-
ever, that illegal liquor selling is to be
conntenanced, and of this fact those_in.-

The Republican maj rity as disclosed
By the vote for town auditors, which is
generally straight, is 794.
The next Legislature ought to simplify
our ballot laws. The separate envelope
for license was sheer nonsense. There
is no good reason why one envelope
should not contain all the tickets, or
better yet, why one ballot should not
express the voters’ wishes on all ques
tions.

Tax on Bicycles.
Amen in New Haven went to the
assessors’ office in a bicycle suit to
make out his tax list. They ’asked if
he had a wheel and he allowed that he
had. Thereupon they added to his list
one bicycle, value fifty dollars. That
means a tax of about a dollar a year or
two cents a week; and whoever has a
wheel would cheerfully give that trifle
rather than be deprived of the machine.
It is estimated that there are from
sixty to seventy-five thousand dollars
. worth of bicycles here in Norwalk and
why should not this large amount of
property be taxed as well as a road—
I ~
wagon ?
. His Slander Besented.
The people of Reading, Pa., are
loyal, self-respecting citizens of this
great and glorious Union of states.
When in the course of a fiery speech
Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
lina, said: “The Silver Democrats of
the South and West consider the Demo-
crats of the East a set of thieves and
robbers,” the remark was greeted with
. ' boots and howls from 10,000 throats, as

“What is your name?” asked the
judge of the young wife.
"Carolina. Augusta Emma."
“And how are you generally called!"
"My sweet ducky,” answered the
young wife, bashfully." -,-,,,
"Ah!” said Mrs. Buzby, to herhus-
band, who has come home with a
black eye and no hat, “that’s what
you get for riding a bicycle.”
“No, my dear; , it’s what I got for
not being able to ride one,” said Bus«

“That’s a French coin,.sir,” said the

“Well, you see, I’m more particular
than you are."
“By the way, shall I put in a buf-
falo? The ride over the mountains
will be a little stiff,” said the stable
keeper, referring to the robe.
“Ah, couldn’t you let be ’ave a ’orse,

“I’d rather not drive a buffalo the

One exceedingly warm" day in July
a neighbor met an old .man and re:
marked that it was. very hot.
“Yes," said Joe, “if it wasn’t for one
thing I-should say we were going to
have a thaw.” .
“What is that?” inquired the friend.
“There’s nothing froze,” said Joe.
Miss Lakeside—“Mr. Beacon Street,
I understand you have been telling
people I talk too much.”
Mr. Beacon Street—“My dear young
lady, what I said was that your volu-
bility was devoid of terminal facili-
ties.”
Miss Lakeside—“Oh, that alters the.
case. How people do get false im-
pressions.” ..
“Will you kindly tell me what time
the four o’clock train leaves?” asked
the aflable stranger.
“Well, of all the champ questionsl”,
cried the, ticketpagent. “Say you’d
better chase yourself away before the ; ‘
d‘epotfulls on. mu.” .
“0h, never mind,” said the stranger,
“if the question irritates you. I just-
wanted a little information. I’m the
new superintendent of the road, you
know." . ‘
“But tell me, how did you happen
to marry him ‘3" asked Aunt Mary.
“Why, you see,” replied Bertha,
“everything was ready. He had asked
me to have him and I had consented;
he has proCured the license and en-
gaged the clergyman; and I had sent
out cards and ordered the cake; so,
you see, we thought that we might
as well go through with it. There,
aunt, that is the reason, as near as I
can remember it."

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as, Chamber-
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipcs. .No one having a. bottle of this
remedy in the house need fear an attack of
bowel complaint. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by
