There is nothing that so sore] y tries- ones temper as enforced idleness. The active body stricken with sudden illness does not rebelso long-as physical pain and weakness reign§supreme. but in that period of convalescence where the tedium of daily health -:ga’.ining grows monotonous patienceabecomes a v l-tue even greater than” when it is :~ :ated on a monument smiling at grief Which we believe is popularly supposed to be the acme of good behavior on its part. Not only is patience needediin the one stricken, but in the care} takers, Whose task it is to learn the peevish whimsicalities of the invalid. The all-wise Being who does every- thing for the best undoubtedly defines a purpose in this period of chastening, but human divination falls short and there is much grumbling at what seems to be unnecessary discipline. The. writer has for days struggled with personal inclination and physical suffering. To be with the active,busy, helpful throng has been her desire; to struggle with pain and helplessness her lot, and the lesson of patience has been seared into her brain and body with the red hot brand of suffering. To all other invalids she sends greet~‘ ing. She also wishes to whisper just a word or two that, if followed, may make it easier for them and those who .are in attendance upon them. What is, is best, and though we may "not see the present pertinent reason ”for being thus set aside from our usual haunts, let us con the lesson of patience, '80 that when the " period of conva- l‘escénCS is at an end and we are once again able to take our customary place in the world use may .bring to our daily work asweeter, gentler-Spirit, a warm- . e 1' @3936‘f9975h59'8591f3ifiéféf, @1523; a'nd.__ HIS-her appreciation ofth‘e —_, health and trength 'j‘that‘j was ,V‘p‘e‘rhapsf taken from‘iis'just that we: m1ght,.'qu_ell_ the tu-itbulent tyrannical spiritéthat grew in' arrogance withour belief in our own power. f ; - ' " ' ” my gown vie... AAA Feminine Chat. Pity isvnever desirable, but sym- _ pathy is an oifering to be appreciated. No home can be truly artistic that is not replete With books and pictures. To the well a period of picturesque invalidism always seems rather envi- able. There is no use growling about not receiving any letters if you do not write any. The much vaunted Itilian sky could be no bluer than our own has been the past few days. It must be a genuine candy lover who can enjOy the confectionary sold ‘ in country shops. Love not only makes the world go round, but similarly turns your head if you are not very careful. If the shops had advertised blankets a week ago, even the thermometers would have risen in protest. , There will never be one-half the picturesque feature in bicycle riding that there is in equestrian exhibitions. There is a time in a. man’s life when he thinks the only way to make himself agreeable to women is to surfeit them with compliments. One must be closely housed not to hear at least one person observe some- thing about “the melancholy days have come.” The letter that we look for sometimes fails to appear, but a telegrim arr.ves in its place—so much for fin de siecle methods. It is noticeable in families where there is either a pet dog or a baby that‘ the conversation can never be directed into other channels. Work in its natural environment be- comes easy through practice, but it is real labor when it has to be performed in places given over to other occupa- tion. ’ The arrival of a bunch of Samples and the new fashion book constitute more excitement in a country household than the declaration of war does in a city home. . It will be a longtime before a dress suit will have the appealing charm of shabby soldierclothes, either in the eyes of the wearer or. the .optics of his feminine“ adorars.

The Brennan - Brennan — Deering— Jones case adjourned in the TOWH court, yesterday morning and continu- ed until afternoon, resulted in the judge finding Edward Brennan, Jr., guilty ofassault. The judge imposed a fine of $5 and costs. Deering, who were somewhat mixed up in the fracas that led to the trial, were both found guilty but execution of sentence was suspended. Next Examination. Announcement was made last even- ing by Dr. Mailhouse of New Haven, that the next examination by the state medical board of examiners of this state will take place Wednesday and Thursday, September 21 and 22, at the common council chambers at the city hall, in that city, at 9:30 a. m. -————<o.o>—————— Claim Damages. _ Deputy Sheriff Fred S. Lyon yester- day placed an attachment on the property of James H. Seeley located on Newfield, Howard and Hillside ave- nues and on Smith and French Streets, Bridgeport, in favor of Samuel Swan. The suit is returnable to the October term of the court of common pleas and the plaintiff claims damages to the amount of $1,300 and costs. AMUSEMENTS. A Hired Girl. That funny little Irish comedian, Charles F. McCarthy, who for five sea- sons was‘ the feature With all the pro? ductions made by Ed. Harrigan at his New York theatre, will play the part Of the “Girl”in Charles E. Blaney’s latest farce comedy, “A Hired Girl.” In this funny character Mr. Blaney has given him a part better and brighter than any he has ever espoused before, giving him many opportunities for his clever wit, bright sayings,beau- tiful singing and pleasing dancing. Will appear at Hoyt’s Theatre, Sept. 17th. - .. —Everybody Talks of the Klondike. With the approach of Spring and the opening days of navigation and trans- portation in Alaska, the interest in the wonderful gofl mines of the Klondike is increasing.

The attention of our readers is called toa tatement of the Company printed in his issue. . ' . . ”=1 - Red Tape in Russia. Every time a Russian Minister leaves town his colleagues are notified of the journey, besides the Council or the Empire, the Cabinet of the Emperor, the Empire’s Controleur and Secre- tary, the Sacred Synod, the Emper- or's Military Secretary, the Empress, the Governors of Moscow, Varsovie, Kiefl, etc, and infinitum, to all appear- ance. When he returns, the same min- ute notification performance is gone through. So each Ministerial depart- ure from and return to St. Petersburg involves an issue of some 200 notices. There are eighteen Ministers, and taking three journeys as the average for each, we have at the end of the year a grand total of some 10,800 ofll— cial papers. T0 RENT.
