Our Efficient County Commissmners.
There is one feature of this election
which every voter in the county should
appreciate when he casts his vote at
the polls. It is in regard to the election
of the candidates for representatives
placed in nomination by the Republican
party. The election of these candidates
means the retention in office of two
county commissioners, who since their
appointment to the board have exer-
cised wise and judicious judgment and
saved the county thousands of dollars
of expense. The commissioners re-
ferred to are Henry Lee, Esq., of
Bridgeport, and James E. Miller, Esq. ,
of Danbury. These two Officials, with
Whitman S. Mead, of Greenwich, have
constituted the board of county com-
missioners during the past four years.
During that time the debt of the
county has been reduced by the pay-
ment of a note held against the coun-
ty for the sum of $10,000. Notwith-
standing this a new hospital has been
erected at N orwalk in connection with
the Children’s Home and arrangements
have been made for the construction
of a new court house at Danbury with-
out the necessity of borrowing money.
It is expected that this court house will
be completed with the slight increase
of but one-tenth of a mill on one year’s
taxes.
Under the present management of
the business of the
county can be continued without any
county affairs,

gradually and surely reduced. The
record Of this board, year after year,
discloses that while the number of li-
censes is smaller than the number is-
sued by the board which proceeded it,

hands than at the present time and it
is the duty of every voter and tax-
payer who desires tO put men in office
who have a respect for their. interests
to see that they are returned.

A missing cashier, who is graphical-_

By this time next week quite a num-

The net cost of the Spanish war up
to the first of November was $160,000,-

timated that the cost will reach $240-
000,000.
Possibly the Democratic managers
may eventually arrive at the conclu-
sion that it is not good politics to taunt
the Opposition on account Of the apathy
in its ranks. The Republican Party
has a habit of waking up when it is re-
minded Of its drowsiness.
Next Tuesday the voters of this state
and the whole country will choose the
new Congress, determine what shall be
the politics of the United States Sen-
ate,_and indorse or condemn the pa-
triotic and successful administration of
President McKinley. There should be
no doubt as to the outcome Of such a
vote.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG‘
' THE WOMEN. BY ONE .1
OF THEM.
Flattery as a fine art is a thing of the
past. In the beginning of the presdnt
century the speech of every beau was
interlarded with fulsome compliments,
and flattery reigned supreme.
We have but to glance at the litera-
ture of that period and compare it with
that of the present day to see the
change that has come over the manners
of society. Literature is the index
hand upon the dial of time, and notes
the changes slow but sure upon its sur-
face. ‘
Women have always been considered
to be very susceptible to flattery, and
there is a good deal of truth in the as-
sertion. Few are wholly impervious
to its subtle charm, though many would
declare with indignation that they de-
spise flattery and hate compliment, but
nevertheless a neatly conveyed or im-
plied compliment to a woman’s taste,
cleverness, or personal appearance
seldOm fails in its effect.
Flattery, like strong perfume, re-
quires to be used sparingly, or as the
delicate flavoring of some choice viand,
agreeable to the taste, merely as a
“soupcon.” The perfection of flattery
is to have been flattered, but not to
know it.
A woman accepts a certain amount
of flattery as a homage of her charms,
but she resents fulsome compliments as
insincere and meaningless.
Of course, there are women who de-
light in gilded phrases and honeyed
words, knowing them to be but false
coin after all, but women in general
are not so easily pleased, and the flat-
terer must not overstep his mark.
Men are as vain in. their way as wo-
men—they love to be worshiped and
adored. How often we see some man
Of mediocre talent flattered by his wo-
man-folk into thinking himself a god
among men.
They applaud his feeble jokes; they
listen with deferential interest to his
discussions of the topics of the day, and
defer to his Opinion; and he suns him-
self in the flattery of his own fireside—-
elated and content.
Flattery, like many other sweet
things, is pleasant both to men and
women alike. We are all open to it, to
some extent at least, and far more is
worked by flattery than this world
dreams of.
But now for the other side of the
question. Are men equally susceptible
to flattery ? Verily they are, as much
and more so, and woman are themselves
the best of flatterers.
Who has not seen some ardent adorer,
fascinated, cajoled and flattered by
some clever woman, who knows just
how to keep him at her side, listening
to his hopes and fears, drawing out his
aspirations, accepting his scribbled
rhymes, and implying that he has a
future before him ‘9
Or a rich old bachelor, his dull, prosy
tales listened to by some younger wo-
man, whose cleverly assumed air of in-
terest leads him on to giddy heights of
self~satisfaction ?
We, as a nation, have the character
of sincerity, and even our language,
compared with some Of the more
smooth-tongued speech Of other races,
does not lend itself so readily to com-
pliment, but, after all, a little flattery
does no harm, and often makes the
wheels of life run smoother, only it
must be made use Of in moderation,
lest it should have,like over-indulgence
in any other sweet thing, a vitiating
influence on the individual, or on
society at large.

It does not take an expert to detect
the suli'erer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes. the
dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the
parsnip-colored complexion indicates
It.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate Often, or a burning
or scalding in passing it: if after pass-
if it must at once be repeated, or if the
urine has a brick dust deposit or strong
odor. .
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, causing
ing stoppage, and sometimes requiring
the drawing of urine with instruments,
or may run into Bright’s Disease, the
most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
world-wide and it is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suffer
any length of time for want of it.
However, if yOu prefer to first test
its wonderful merits. mention THE

The latest improvements in optical
instruments is a gauge attached to a
field glass and a prismatic lens in one
of the barrels to determine the dis-
tance of an object. This is accom-
plished :by producing two images of
the object seen, one superimposed upon
tfie other. The prism" creates the an-
gle which forms the basis for the
mathematical calculation .of the dis-
tance, and the scale contains the so-
lution in advance of the geometrical
problem. On the barrels of the glass
are human figures—one of an infant-
ryman and 'the other of a cavalryman
——with' a graduated scale. By observ-
ing the portion of the body against
which the top of the second image is
projected and consulting the scale the
distance of the object is easily ascer-
tained. Of course the accuracy of the
test depends upon accurate focusing
of rthe glass-es and careful observa-
