An Illustration. ‘We concur in the following from the ..‘lusonia Sentinel and would war Jgainst the littering of the public thoroughfares: “The writer left his desk late one af 11ernoon, last week, and as he stepped out on. the. walk he saw a woman—two ofthem, in fact—tear up a newspaper into perhaps a dozen or fifteen pieces and scatter them in the street. It was a thoughtless act, undoubtedly, but so are nine-tenths of the acts which cause our unclean streets. It is just here "shore the wisdom of the. scheme, in-' an urated by the Woman’s club comes in. If there had been within co nven- imt distance a can or box to receive a :lste papers, etc., the woman would most likely have thrown her tOrn news- paper into it. . We see every day men and women and children eating fruit on the street, bananas, oranges and other things from which there is a waste, and the skins are thrown into the street or on the walks with a. recklessness of conse- quences that is remarkable. IVe wish the people of our'communities would be- lete. thoughtful of these things. ' gDi'rty Streets are not pleasant to the eye, and they are positively injurious to the health. The movement inaugu- rated by the club comes in at the right time.“ Spring with its pleasant sun- shine and open weather is here, and people who have so long been cooped up in the house are glad to get out. They enjoy their outing better if they have clean streets and sweet smells. Let this movement go on. Let our city authorities consider the petitions for refuse cans on the sidewalks, and- help the ladies in their efforts to bet- weréour condition in this respect.” Ho-op——. Connecticut’s Mechanical Supremacy. The annual report of the Commis- sioner Of Patents for the calendar year 1-397 is before Congress. It shows a tremendous activity among the inven- tive geniuses of the country, and fur- nishes proof of the ceaseless restless- ness of its mechanics,says the New Ha- ven Register. It awards, furthermore, to. Connecticut the palm for taking out more patents in proportion to its popu- lation than any other state—one to every 786 inhabitants. Next in order comes its neighbor on the north, the good Old commonwealth of Massachu— , set-ts, with Rhode Island fifth. This ’ position assigned to Connecticut is the one it has occupied for many years, and retains for it the reputation it has en- joyed of' being the cradle of industrial progress. Day in and day out the me- chanics of the state are hard at work improving upbn the facilities of pro- duction, and reducing more and more the strain that has fallen upon the toil- .ers. The exclusive tendency of Con- necticut genius and Connecticut brains 4 is toward the emancipatiOu'Of the in- dustrial classes. ' FOr the time being, these marvellous creations of iron and steel, the multi- plications of little bolts and screws, seem to threaten the employment and prosperity of labor, but a broader View of their mission in the world is to in- crease the happiness of society as a whole, and to leave room for the de- velopment of the better nature of hu- manity. They do not mean the enforce- ment of idleness upon the laborer. Theylnean the increased profit of his labor, and the increased satisfaction to he gathered from life. Nothing is surer than that the little state of Connecticut is foremost in the peaceful revolution that is taking place in the world, the results of which are to do so much in elevating the races of the earth, and in ' developing the spiritual side of man’s V nature. The Connecticut brain is not utilizing itself to complicate the prob- lem. It is being used, under wise, in- spiration, to make the .world better. It is. for these reasons that there is es- pecial cause why Connecticut should feel proud to learn that it is agaln the manor state of the Union in the matter of patents issued. \ -———-—-——————-<o.o>—-—-—-——— -—No claims. no amdavus, out a. lA‘éAZE’I'fl‘E advertisement gets there new tune. . ' ' . Feminine Chat. ‘ A bad pen has a wouderful effect on our fluency. A woman either knows too much or nothing at all when she is on the wit- mess-stand. It is a very brave woman who actual- ly enjoys driving in these days of reele- less bicycle riding. , With the advent of spring cleaning, the average man finds his club more delightful. than 11‘. has been all winter. Every known and some udknown blessoms find their way on to the spring hat. ' The aspirant for literary honors is now beginning to think of a stunning topic for thegraduation essay. There are some women who appar- ently consider going to church merely as an excuse to wear the best frocks they own. It was a very clever youngster who, being awfully tired, expressed her feel- ings in the remark, “I feel ten years older than God. ” It isn’t‘hard to guess that a masculine pen wrote these words: “A man is quiet when he is dead: a woman is dead when she is quiet.” Why is it that so many people feel that they must be sinful just as soon as they know to a certainty that they are enjoying themselves ‘3 I It is a very good rule to go by, that the woman who talks a lot about other people to you will not spare you when she talks with Other people. ' It is all very well to talk about there being lots of room at the top, but if you want to have a real chummy time you had better stay at the bottom. Why do we for some unaccountable reason feel sort of ashamed of ourselves when we have praised an article high— 1 y and afterward discover that it is cheap ? ———-—-—‘0.0>———- HOW HE MADE HIS FORTUNE.

A young man lately went West, as so nany do, to ' seek ‘ his fortune 'n the gold and silver districts. Thou- ;ands were dreaming of the gold and silver veins and of the wealth of lloute Cristo or Croesus. But this fel- low, after looking about him, took a 2001 survey of the food possibilities of :his country for one year. And he discovered that the market would be ;hort on that homely vegetable, onions. ~30 he set to work and bought up on ons. In fact, he cornered onions. And in less than two years he made a fortune of over $2,000,000. Yet there we people who persist in talking about ‘luck," and who like to see the new noon over the right shoulder. It is not the opportunity which counts, but :he man or the woman. g , A fin-de—siecle wit recently called life 1 “sucked orange.” So it is for those who wait for something to turn up. The thing is to go out and turn something up; not to think that life owes us a living, but to think that we owe life a living, the best living we are capable of. ,How unresponsive unsuggestive, dead, a mind must be which could call life a “sucked u-auge"-life. the greatest of gifts. the me thing which is itself one vast Op- aortunity.——Ellen Duvall, in Lippin- 'tOtT'S.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. TOO frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer‘s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. .If you need a. medicine you should have the best.
