I \ I Granite Blocks Compared with Brick. Granite is very noisy. Granite wears smooth and slippery.» . Granite cinnot be laid as evenly as brick. . ‘ Granite needs frequent resetting. . Granite is more expensive to keep clean. Brick laid on concrete is the ‘ most quiet pavement except wood. Brick make a perfectly even surface, pleasant for carriages or bicycle riders. Brick giv'e the best hold for horses feet. ‘ Brick have a lower foundation of con- crete which never wears or becomes uneven. Brick are supported on a perfectly fitting cushion, and remain in position. Brick are easy to keep clean; and are a very sanitary pavement. Brick give easier traction. for heavy loads. Brick are more easily relaid or re- placed, as all bricks are' of the same size. , ' Brick fit perfectly against car track grails. Brick do not wear vehicles as will granite. .——————‘O>—-———— Repuhlican Bally. The meeting addressed by Hon. Joseph L. Barbour of Hartford,at South Norwalk last night, was an entire suc- cess. His arguments on protection and’ honest money, were unanswerable and convincing. Large numbers were present from Rowayton and this end of the town. Had the meeting been half way decently advertised. there would not have been standing room left, as Barber is one of the‘ most entertaining and effective political speakers in the state. The Sentinai in its brief notice of the meeting, gave this misleading item:— “It looks as though there would be a big gathering at the first Republican mass meeting of the campaign, in Hoyt’s Opera House. to-morrow night. Senator Joseph R. Hawley will be the speaker.” The Hour of course. made the above much worse, by putting out, last night, "'the following:— ‘ “A republican mass meeting will be .held, to-morrow night in Hoyt’s thea- ter. ’An address will be made by Hon. Joseph L. Barbour, of Hartford.” It is to be regretted that a little more ‘efi‘ort was not put forth to spread cor- .rect information as to the meeting, especially among the classes most like- ly to be benefitted. Representative Rowan presided with his usual quiet and humorous dignity. The Adelphi Quartette sang several political songs in their inimitable style, while the stage and boxes were graced . by many prominent citizens. ’3" "Connecticut Riders Suspended- The L. A.

A NIGHTMARE POSTER. She Was Sure of One Hundred Dollars at Least for the Picture He Painted. She awoke with a start and there was a. little cry of alarm on her lips as she sat up 111 bed. Fora moment 'she did not fully realize where she was. Then she missed her husband from her side and a hopeful expression lit up her’facc. Propping herself upon one elbow she proceeded to listen. It was as she had hoped. In a. few moments she heard her husband out in the other room. He was uttering shrill cries of terror and seemed to be trying to rout. some enemy. “He’s got ’em again,” remarked his ' wife, after she had listened to the sounds for a. little while. “I thought that last hot-scotch would fetch him.” Getting out of bed, she went into the other room and lit all the gas jets. Her husband was rushing up and down the room in a. frenzy, first pointing at one of the corners and then running his thin, tapering fingers through his long hair. . “Do you see them all?” asked his wife, anxiously. “Yes," he replied, in a. hoarse voice; “there is the girl with the green hair, over near the bookcase, the pink. dog is up in the chandelier, while you’ll find the horse with the purple mane in the ward- robe, where I chased him awhile ago.” There was a happy smile on the wife‘s face as she ministered to her husband's needs. First she wrapped him careful~ l y in a large shawl and then led him to a. chair, in which She fastened him by means of a. clever arrangement of straps, which allowed his arms to be free. Then she drew an‘easel with a fresh canvas on it before him, tied his pallet ‘in position and placed his point and brushes within reach. “I’ll be all right now,” he said. “If you'll only give me a. nip out of the bottle to brace me up.” “I hope so, Lorenzo,” she returned. “We owe two months’ rent and the grocer has become rather tiresome.” After putting her arm around his neck and kissing him she Went back to bed. When she awoke in the morning and went into the other room to turn out the lights her husband Was putting the fininshing touches to a new-style poster.

How Idle Woman Can Turn Barnyard Traphles to Account. , Now that candle shades are so much used, new ideas in this line are very much in demand. One of the very lat- est fancies is to make these little shades of feathers. Theyway this is done is very simple. First, cut a card- board foundation, cnd cover it with silkoto match your feathers. This must be done very neatly. Then get some soft, long feathers from your poultry man, who will probably keep a few for you when plucking fowls if asked to do so; or, if you live in the country, and have a. hen-house of 'your own, all the better, as you can then have—asmany ‘as- . you like. Dye the feathers any artistic. shudc“'you‘ fancy. When quite .lry, shake them out before a fine, and sew them around the foundation so that the long ends come far below it.- Catch them here and there invisibly, so that they may not slip, and round the top twist baby ribbon and tie in a tiny bow at one side. The best colors and those which conceal the light least are scur- let and yellow. The little brass holders which fit. on to the candle and hold the shade in place can be bought anywhere for a small Sum. Parrots’ feathers look charming on=’tliese shades, and very good effects can also be obtained by using peacocks’ feathers, the lovely shades of blue and green looking quite delightful with the soft light under- neath—Chicago Inter Ocean. - 1 i Worked the Other Way. “‘Mndam,” he said in a gentle, sooth- ing voice, which only the man who has something to sell can successfully as- sumc. “I have here an article of, soap which—” “‘1’ “Don’t want any soap,” she replied, flatly. “But your younger brother there. must get. a great many grease-spots on his clothes. Now, if you would provide some of that soap—” “When you allude to my younger bro- ther, I suppose you mean that boy who is standing over by the .fence?” “Certainly." “Well, he isn’t my younger brother. He’s my son, and what’s more, he’s the youngest of four, and what’s more than that, I read the papers, and if you think you can flatter me by pretending that I look youthful, you’re wrong. I don't need any soap, and my time’s precious.” —Detroit Free Press. . - Taking a Broad View.
