The original idea of the American flag
was to add a star and a stripe for every
new State that came into the Union. In.
1818, however, it was suggested that at
the rate th: United States were increasing
the tallest pine tree in Maine would not
make a mast high enough to hoist the
flag upon, and so the original notion was
abandoned.

The damage dOne by the great blizzard
in the big eastern cities was simply enor-
mous. The loss iu’New York city alone
is put at between $40,000,000 and $60,-
000,000, while in the New England and
Middle states the damage, it is thought,
may have reached $150,000,000. Counting
the loss of business, these figures do not
appear at all too high. Had the storm
siege lasted a few days longer, hundreds
must have perished in the cities from the
lack c f food and fuel. Only the wealthy
in New York could procure fresh meat
and milk at $2 per gallon.

The New York Sun says that A. C.
Hobbs of Bridgeport, a woll~known Con-
nccticut horseman, used to be better
known as the “Yankee Lock Picker.” He
picked the famous Bramah lock at the
World’s Fair in Lendon in 1852 in the
presence of the Queen and the Duke .of
Wellington. Brainah had oficred 200
guineas to any one who would pick his
lock. That same year Mr. Hobbs opened
aFrench lock in London in five minutes
and set it to a combination that baffled the
maker himself. The improvements in
locks in late years, particularly in this
country, havc revolutionized safe making
and produced locks which even the Yankee
lock picker can’t pick.

Frank Clark, foreman of the workshop
at the jail had until recently a fine large
New-foundland dog. A few days ago his
master had occasion to whiphim severely.
After the punishment the dog walked into
the room where Mr. Clark’s wife sat sew—
ing and laying his head on the arm of her
chair, looked up into her face as though
seeking for sympathy. Mrs. Clark looked
at the animal and said something about his
having received a whipping. No sooner
were the words out of her mouth than the
dog sprang fiercely at her and seized her
nose in his teeth. Her husband 'was in
the next room. She screamed for help, at
the same time‘pushing the infuriated ani
mal with all her strength. She succeeded
in getting free, but as the teeth pulled
away they tore down through her nose,
nearly separating it from her face, and
making an ugly wound. Mr. Clark rush-
ed into the-room. Taking in the situation
he pulled a revolver from his pocket and
fillet the dog down in his tracks.—Bpt.

In discussing the “social evil” question
in Hartford recently, Dr. H. P. Steal-us,
‘ of the Retreat for the Insane, offered these
suggestions: “Locateadozen ‘or twenty
good, bright reading rooms for each sex
where a cup of hot coffee can be had for
the cost and where reading and games can
be had without cost. Then employ those
who shall seek out and look after every
girl and young woman, every boy and
young man who comes to the city, and try
and induce them to come under good, in-
stead of bad, influences. Nearly every
employer of such persons would help on
such a work. Many of these young per-
sons liave hitherto fallen by the way, been
plundered and left morally lialf dead.
We have looked upon them and often
passed by on the other side, while they
have in too many instances been borne
into the saloon and brothel and cared for
there.”
At a special meeting of the Schoo
Board, the following tribute of respect
to the late Rev. Thomas G. Osborn, was
unanimously passed :
The Rev. Thomas G. Osborn has been
an honored member of the Board of Edn-
cation in the town of Norwalk for six
consecutive years, and for a large part of
the time has held a position as one of the
active visitors of schools, and ever with a
faithfulness that was Enthusiastic. Pos-
sessed of time for it, he has given a great
deal of attention to the schools, until his
kindly and cheery face was known, and
welcome to all the pupils that were under
his immediate supervision. Clean of his
life, sweet of his disposition, with a humor
that was ever rippling, and yet did not
detract from the unostentatious dignity of
his demeanor, he was a safe example and
a winning one to every scholar, as he was
an encouragement and a helper to every
teacher. With all his sparkling sayings
in the school room, he ever left the im-
pressiou of an eminently Christian gen-
tleman as well as of a ripe scholar. The
Board of Education desires to put on
record its sense of the loss that both towns
and schools have sustained in the sudden
and unexpected death of this good man :—
and they hereby express to his bereaved
family their most heartfelt sympathy in
the afiliction that has wrought such grief
to their house and home.

The services on Easter day at Trinity
church, South Norwalk, promise to be of
an interesting character. In addition to
the usual morning and evening services,
there is to be, at 5 o'clock p. m., a chil-
dren’s Easter celebration, at which time a
handsome baptismal font of white marble
is to be unveiled and dedicated. The font
has been carved at the marble establish-
ment of Mr. Robert Fisher, formerly
Messrs. Fisher & Bird, in New York city,
and is in memory of the first rector of
Trinity church, the late Rev. Curtis T.
W'oodruff. It is a presentation to the
parish from the Sunday school, the mem-
bers of which have generously and zeal-
ously contributed toward it. The .school
has from its beginning been under the
direction of Mr. John H. Smith, whose
devotion to its welfare has increased as
the years of its history have multiplied.
The parish has called the Rev. Mr. Hal-
lock, of St. Augustine’s chapel, New
York, as rector, and should that gentle-
man conclude to accept the call he will
find his wardens and vcstry a capable and
energetic body, and a body ready to co-
operate with the rector in every practical
activity.

Saturday evening Edward Shepard, a
cigarmakcr employed by Farrell &. Lock-
wood, and who was a brother-in-law of
the senior partner, Mr. James Farrell,
boarded the seven o’clock freight train
at Winnipauk, where he resided. to come
to Norwalk. Instead of taking the
passenger caboose, however, ‘he boarded
aflat car, and as the train was hauling
up to the depot he jumped to the
platform, but missing his footing he fell
upon the track and one truck of the car
ran over his right leg and right wrist. He
was picked up and taken on a stretcher
into the depot,and Drs. Phinncy. McGone-
gal and Walter Hitchcock were summon—
ed, who did all in their power for the re-
lief of the sufferer, but in view of the
severe shock his system had received no
amputation was performed. Dr. McGon-
cgul remained with the patient all night in
the waiting room of the depot, ministering
to his comfort. The injured man was
conscious a good share of the time, and
spoke .colierently to Mr. Farrell of the
manner in which the accident occurred.
At half-past one on Sunday he died and
the body was taken by Undertaker Ray—
mond to his store where it was prepared
for burial. The funeral took place yester-
day aftcrnoon from the late residence of

Mr. Leonard Gets the Contract
At a meeting of the Court of Burgesses
held Tuesday afternoon, the contractors’
bids for the construction of the third divi-
sion of the sewer were opened. There
were five bids, as follows : '
Harris «St McGuire $28,308.32
Brady Brothers 28,124.21
» James J. Cogan 27,835.58
John S. Bogart & Son 26,245.85
Francis Leonard 26,244.30
At a subsequent session of the borough
board it was voted, in “executive session,"
to award the contract to the Bogarts.
This called forth considerable adverse
criticism, and another meeting was held
on Saturday when the vote was rescinded
and a vote passed to award it to Francis
Leonard, who was the lowest bidder, and
yesterday the burgesscs met and notified
Mr. LLOIllll‘d of his selection. It was, on
the whole. a wise move.

Henry W. Lester.
Henry W. Lester, of South Norwalk,
died Tuesday night. Rev. H. A. Delano
contributes the following obituary to the
Sentinel, which we copy entire :
Henry W. Lester died last night at 9:20
o‘clock, having been ill just three weeks.
Mr. Lester was born in Clinton, Conn.,
November 10, 1830. He learned the
moulder’s trade, and came from Mcride'n
to this city in July, 1856, about the time
of the formation of the Norwalk Lock Co.
In 1858 he took charge of the foundry of
this company, and held the position till
February, 1882, when he entered into
partnership with Henry S. Lockwood,
under the firm name of the Lockwood
Manufacturing Company, in which under-
taking be- met with a good degree of suc—
cess.
[Iis funeral will be held at the Baptist
Church, Friday, at 2 o‘clock.
Mr. Lester was a man whom to know in
business relations. was to honor and re-
spcct in the most unqualified way. He
was punctual in engagement, faithful to
his pledges and was characterized by a
scrupulous‘intcgrity in his fellowships with
business men. life was a man of positive
temperament, and very radical in holding
to any position assumed. But witlial a
man of large and generous impulses, quick
to respond to the appeals of charity, and
possessed of a kind and genial disposition.
He has ever been upon the alert to add his
part in the world’s " tasks and labors, and
took with zest and delight the social joys,
fraternity, and fellowship of his brother
men‘. He has been for years a member of
the Baptist Church, and has at times
occupied some of its most important
ofilces; When active inthe work, he al-
ways spoke with feeling and tenderness
of his 'own dependence upon the Saviour
of the World and his own deep needs of
God’s love and grace. His illness, though
comparatively brief, was peculiarly severe
Ile displayed tremendous
vitality to the last and yielded not until
the last fibre of a depleted body gave way.
He died at 9:20 last evening surrounded
by all his family, and many friends. He
leaves the wife, to whom he was recently
married, three children by the former wlfe
and a large circle of friends in all relations
of life to mourn his loss.
As man may he fought. his 11 ht,
'Proved his truth by his on cover,
Let him rest in solemn night,
Rest forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
mm the clover or the snow,
What cares he, he can not. know,
Lay him low, lay him low.

Mrs. Stephen Smith.
[Communicated]
Mrs. Stephen Smith recently deceased,
was a daughter of Isaac Betts, who was a
brother of Capt. Stephen Belts, of revolu—
tionary fame, and cousin of Capt. Heze—_
kiali Betts, the father of the honored
sisters who are serenely passing the even-
ing of their days in the old paternal home
at the foot of France street.
Isaac Belts, Esq., built about the close
of last century, and lived in, what has
since been known as the Thatcher place
on Newtown avenue. He afterwardserected
and occupied the comfortable house on
the same avenue which was removeda
few years since to makc‘room for the
spacious dwelling, now the residence on
Stephen Henry Smith, Esq. Here his
adopted daughter, the subject of this
sketch, was married to Stephen, second
son of Asa Smith, of South Norwalk, of
the-20thof October, 1816. Mr. and Mrs.
Smith occupied the Belts house, in
which their older children were born, until
1825, and then removed to the new struc—
property of Rev. Alexander Hamilton.
Fifty-four returning summers and winters
were spent by the goodly pair in this
pleasant home. Children, seven in all,
MaryBurr, LeGrand, Isaac, Kempcr, Ann,
and Harriet, loved it, friends came and
went, and life was enjoyable to its inmates.
The cloud of sorrow. it is true, rested
more than once over the abode: Burr,
the first: son, died away from the parents
and was buried abroad; their manly. Le—
Grand lies where the sea coral grows; the
generous-spirited Isaac was taken in the
pride of his strength, and the handsome
Kemper in the dew of his youth. Still in
the main the years glided happily along,
and the home was a cherished one. The
“J udge” who presided over it was, as his
courteous manners and dignified tone in-
dicated, a gentleman of the old school—a
mention which recalls some of his old
contemporaries and associates in this
particular, Governor Miner, William
Henry Holly, John T. Leeds, Timothy T.
Morgan. He was the close friend of Drs.
Kemper and Mead, and the former under
the piloting of the latter, drove, after his
consecration as Bishop, from New York
child, Kemper, and after the service was
driven immediately back to New Rochelle
and thence to the city.
Mrs. Smith was a niece of Esther Platt,
who married Governor Thomas Fitch’s
fourth son, Timothy, and consequently
great grand niece of that old Colonial
dignitary. She was also a descendant of
the well known Hauford family of early
Norwalk history. She had for nine years
survived her husband, and been 'of late in
failing health, but her closing days have
been spent in tranquility, and blcst by the
watchful interest and devotion of ( her
daughters and kindred. She was visited
before death by her rector, and enjoyed
the ministrations of the church in the faith
of which she finally passed away.

Death of the Mother of Rev. 001. Ander-
son.
The April No. of The Missionary Herald
says:
made up, we learn of the death, in the
eighty-fifth year of her age, of the venerable
Mrs. Eliza H. Anderson, widow of Rev. Dr.
Rufus Anderson. late secretary of the Amer-
ican Board. Since her husband’s death Mrs.
Anderson has resided in Roxbury, (Boston
Highlands), in the same house in which for
more than a. generation, she, with rare grace
and devotion, entertained the missionaries
of the Board who were going and coming.
She was a true helpmeet to her distinguish-
ed husband, and the memory of her loving
acts and saintly character is most precious
in the families of the earlier missionaries.
She was a wise and loving friend to them
—nll, and was as a mother to their children.
It may be'said of her not merely that -she
did what she could, but that by reason of the
position she occupied, to which she was so
well adapted, she was able to render a ser-
vice of vast importance to the cause of mis-
sions. ‘Her works do follow her.’ ”

Jacob Wetsteiii, a German, who kept a
boarding house on Main street, Sontli
Norwalk, nearly opposite the Oil Hotel,
took adose of rough on rats liursday
morning and died shortly afterward in
great agony. He was a hard drinker and
subject to extreme despondcncy, and his
domestic life is said to have been bitter
and unhappy. Deceased was about 60
years old and leaves a wife and step-
daughter.
Frank Hopkins, aged sixty-five years,
and his housekeeper, Emeline Whitney,
aged seventy years, were found dead in
the snow in Hopkin’s barnyard in Putnam,
Monday afternoon. In the barn were
three dead cows and four dead sheep and
the cattle remaining alive were hardly
able to stand, having been starving for a
week. Inside the house the conditions
showed that the man and woman were
overcome by the storm early in the even~
ing. The supper table was set, but up-
disturbed, and they evidently had gone
out of doors to attend to the cattle before
sitting down to supper.
The paragraph in last week's RECORD
concerning Mrs. Stephen Hoyt’s recollec—
tion of the “great Christmas storm,"
brings a response from Darien questioning
the accuracy of the date given by Mrs.
Hoyt, who states that it was in 1808. Mr.
Thaddeus Bell, of Daricn, figures it in
1811, and bases his assumption on the fact
that Mrs. Albert Secley of that town was
born within a few days of the “great
Christmas storm," and died last week at
the age of 76 years, which would make
the date of her birth, ergo the great storm,
1811. This would seem rather an'abstract
method of calculation to set against the
actual recollection of‘Mrs. Hoyt,but as there
are others who have expressed their doubt
of Mrs. Ho t’s date being correct, (no
two of the. oubters, however, smgularly
enough. agreeing on the same date,) 'it
may be pertinent to ask, in what year did
the “great Christmas storm” occur ? Per-
haps some of the Gazette’s “old readers,”
who include our“oldest inhabitants," may
be able to positively locate it, either from
memory or contemporary authority.
Meanwhile the Raconn is inclined to ac:
cept Mrs. Hoyt’s statement of the date as
correct.
Something the Public Should Know.
The articles, anonymous and otherwise,
appearing from time to time in the news-
papers, making unfavorable reference to
Cleveland’s baking powder are from a
rival baking powder Company. These
articles are intended to counteract, if posi
sible, the letter to the public from Genera-
Hurst, latc Ohio State Dairy &. Food
Commissioner, in which he states that the
Ohio Commission’s investigation of the
baking powders, based upon the State
Chemist’s analyses of thirty different
brands, proves that Cleveland’s is a strict-
ly pure cream of tartar baking powder, en-
tirely free from alum, ammonia, lime, &c.,
and that it is abs'olutely the best and
most desirable baking, powder manufact-
ured; also, that the Royal baking powder
contains ammonia, and that the Cleve-
land’s is superior to the Royal in every
quality of excellence. Another object
sought by our competitors in the articles
referred to is to divert public attention
from the scratchingbut. well merited re.
buke administered to them by General
Hugst for falsifying his ofilciaal report in
their effort to bolster up their baking pow-
der when it. compares so unfavorably with
Cleveland’s powder.
It is quite time that the public is made
aware of the deceptive character of the
advertising of the baking powder Com.
pany in question. While extravagantly
advertising their powder they have shrewd-
ly concealed their vat: of ammonia in its
manufacture and persistently maligned
Cleveland’s powder.
Cleveland’s puserior baking powder has
never been made of anything but purest
grape cream of tarter, purest bicarbonate
of soda, and a small portion of wheat flour
or starch, and has always been absolutely
free from adulteration. This is attested
by the leading chemists in different parts
of the country from analyses made of our
powder purchased by them in open mar-
ket ie their rcscriptive localities, as shown
by their certificates in the circular accom-
panying each can. We ask the public to
show its disapproval of the despicable ad-
Vertising methods referred to by extend-
ing its patronage to Cleveland’s superior
baking powder, which has for eighteen
years been first in point of merit as apure,
efficient, and healthful bread leavening
agent.

SO U TEN 0R WALK.
George N. Selleck and wife returned
from Ansonia Sunday afternoon.
The German service at Trinity chapel
.Sunday afternoon was well attended and
appeared more than usually interesting.
The sermon of Rev. Mr. Ross on the
subject “The Churches have learned a
lesson, will the Temperance Organizations
learn one,” was very praCtical, to which
some temperance organizations might
take heed, with profit. There are ten sep-
arate temperance organizations in South
N orwalk, including the Prohibitionists.
The Gospel Temperance meeting at
the Temple of Honor rooms on Sunday
was well attended, and earnest addresses
were made by Messrs. Hallock, Haulen-
beck, Merriam, Wood and Bogardus, also
by a lady and a gentlemen whose names
we could not learn. Comrade Wood gave
ashort account of the funeral of Jacob
Wetstein, a veteran of the Grand Army,
who had withstood all the battles of the
enemies of his country, but succumbed to
his worst enemy—rum. The sermon of
Rev. Mr. Ross at the funeral was very
appropriate, being for the benefit ’of the
living.
It is certainly unfortunate that after all
the expense for repairs, and the commen-
dation of our daily press, the Franklin
street school house should still be in an
unhealthy condition—so much so that the
attention of the health commissioners has
been called to it. Several of the teachers
were affected with the foul air, some very
seriously. Only a short time since there
was a certificate published, stating that
permanent and efficient repairs had been '
made by the new committee, at a very
considerable cost.
There is an effort to bring all the tem-
perance organizations into united action.
The first step was taken by a “union tem-
perance meeting” at the Congregational
church on Wednesday evening last, which
it is hoped, will have a lasting effect upon
all concerned, and that the cause of tem-
perance will be advanced. All was har-
monious until a stranger, a paid organizer
of Prohibition clubs, aroseand commenced
to criticise the Christian church, He was
sat down upon very quickly by Rev. Mr.
Harris and entirely squelched.
“Rum, Ruin and Riot.” was the caption
of an extended article in the local daily of
Wednesday last, evidently written by a
reverend, who knows as little about the
matter as he did about South Norwalk
being the most wicked place on earth. He
now suggests the “organization of a law
and order league," a little on the plan
which was once proposed during the
strike. We are quite sure there is no
need of this, as the police are adequate to
arrest all criminals and prevent a riot.

Dr. L. T. Day met with quite an‘ adven-
ture on Wednesday of last week. While
on his way to visit a patient at Jeremiah
Connor's in Greens Farms, he drove as far
as possible,and leavinghishorse,prccecded
on foot, and when descending the hill just
‘beyond the church he encountered an
immense drift which had become softened
by the rain, and suddenly: one foot went
down and failed to find anything solid.
The doctor found his utmost efforts in-
effectual to withdraw it, and after. several
fruitless attempts he began to dig away
the snow with his hands, and it required
about fifteen minutes’ work in the drench-
ing rain, to accomplish it ; when he finally
succeeded, he was thoroughly chilled and
almost exhausted. He made the remain-
ing distance‘ovcr the drift on his hands
and knees, and reached Mr. Conner’s
house where he partially dried his wet
garments and recovered somewhat from
his chill.
We seem to have given offence to “B.”
in our article last week, relative to the
public spirit shown by the residents on
Woodside avenue, in digging through the
drifts, and in a communication to the.
Wele he calls attention to the fact
that the superintendent of the horse rail-
road company took a shovel and headed
a gang of men to clear the tracks of the
company. We would say that we were
not referring to the acts of corporations,
whose duty it is to provide transportation
for the public and who do it for compen-
sation, but to the acts of citizens for the
common benefit. Furthermore. the allu-
sion to the matter leads us to remark that
if “B.” had possessed some of the “won-
derful expensive observation” to which he
refers, he would have known that M. L.
Filleyzliad the road from the foundry, be-‘
low which were the worst drifts, to the
depot in a condition for travel on Thurs.
day night, while the first horse car did
not reach the station until eleven o'clock
on the following Monday.

The selectmen sboveled out the mail

passed over it the next day in a sleigh. He
did not make any attempt on Wednesday,
when a fog and rain-storm prevailed, which
diminished the snow, though the drifts were
left hard and high. Since, this fast mail
route has been traversed by oxen. The peo-
ple are thankful to get a mail in that way.

Skepticism.
By reason of the state of chronic incred-
ulity in which many men pass their lives
they miss half the good of this world.
They seem to think that doubt and uh.
belief are proofs of wisdom, and through
fear of being deceived reject much that
is true and good. To such minds the
statement that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is a real and proven cure
for all diseases caused by torpld liver,
had blood or scrofulous huniors carries
,with its own condemnation, They do not
believe it, apparently, because we say so;
and yet what more, or less, than this can
we do? We know the facts, and if we
did not make public the great valuc of
this remedy few would profit by it. We
try to do our duty in the matter and it re-
mains for the doubter who needs‘ help to
overcome his prejudice and give it a trial.

l Failed Complexloii’s Sweet Restorer.
l
Young ladies whose complexions show
, the ravages of" the late hours of the feast
i season, and who wish to restore their skin
to its pristine debutante freshness, are
using “1e masque du marl,” which French
women have employed ever since'the days
complexion’s sweet restorer. They take
the white of one egg, beaten insufficient
rose water to make a cream; to this they
add one'gramme of alum and one of sweet
almond oil; all of which is beaten together
until a paste is formed, white and sweet
smelling. Then, taking a piece of thick
muslin, they cut, out holes in such a way
that it rudely resembles a musk—two for
eyes, a small one for nostrils, the third 3
little larger for the mouth. The paste is
spread thickly and carefully over this.
Four tapes are fastened to it—two at the
brow and two at the chin—and when the
young woman goes to bed this is tied on
her face and remains there all night.
In the morning she washes this off care-
fully with n soft sponge and tepid water,
following it by another bath of water run-
ning cold from the faucet, and tiien she
rubs her face vigorously with a soft. towel
and emerges with the complexion of 16.
But she looks decidedly funny at night
when she has her mask on, which re-
sembles a poultica more than anything
else. There is also a. rule which goes
with this masque du marl, which says
that to have a beautiful skin a woman
must take enough exercise at least once
in twenty-four hours to be thrown into a
thorough glow—New York lVorld.
Characteristics of Old Age.
The characteristic changes which go
along with old age, and to which the final
stoppage of the machinery of life is due,
are seen to be mostly degenerations of
structures in which the normal active tis-
sues are replaced by materials of inferior
quality. Fat and lime salts are very poor
substitutes for the healthy, contractile
muscle, or the transparent structures of
the eye. It has been thought by some
that if we could prevent the introduction
of enrthysalts into the body by way of
food and drink, the right arteries and de-
generations generally of age might. be
prevented. The plan proposed for thus
forestalling age is as follows: Drink
nothing but distilled water, or a. drink
containing phosphoric acid and the juice
of lemons, of which distilled water is the
basis. Eat no vegetable containing much
of the earthy salts. This would exclude
, spinach, cabbage, etc, from the diet. No
tea nor coffee. Take plenty of milk. A
much more rational diet would be one
containing but little albumlnous food,~
plenty of milk, no eggs nor lean meat,
but as much fats as can be taken without
discomfort. It has been observed that
calcareous degeneration is almost always
preceded by chronic changes in the kid-
neys, and these are certainly hastened by
a diet of lean meat, eggs and the like.—
Globe-Democrat.
Bees in Southern California.
The chief wild animal, if such I may
call it, is the little wild bee. Here he
abounds. There is so much fiorul wealth
and so few enemies that lie swarms every-
where. The immigrant has introduced
the domesticated bees of Europe, and
they thrive as well as their uncivilized
brothers. The only trouble the winged
workers have is where to store their
honey for the winter that never comes.
Every hollow tree is a Godsend; every
garret room where they can come and go
undisturbed is immediately seized upon.
Even old and decayed logs, dry caverns
and rock hollows are utilized. There are
not inauycows in this part of the Pacific
coast, else we would call our home the
“land’ flowing with milk and honey,”
phcphesied in the Scriptures.
Every cave and crevice in the moun-
tains that will shelter a swarm of bees
has already been occupied and filled with
honey. The bees are seen every month
in the year passing in swarms through
the air in search of homes. The skill of
the architect. and builder is severely
taxed to prevent them from taking pos-
session of steeples, cornices, and spaces
between rustic work and rplastering in
dwellings, and filling all available spaces
with comb and honey—Edna Sandford
in Drake’s Magazine.
Fitness in Man's Dress.
“Why do you insist on carrying an um-
brella in your hand, although there is no
apparent sign of rain!” was asked of an
Englishman now sojourning in this city,
who, nevertheless, has none of the dude
element about him. The answer was
characteristic of the English inclination
toward the fitness of things, even in mat-
ters of dress: “Because I wear an over-
coat, aud I do not think that amere walk-
ing stick or cane belongs to my dress. ”
The same Englishman remarked on the
wearing of tall silk hats that “they are
not in character with ulster or traveling
coats, since one would scarcely choose to
spend a long day in a railroad car wearing
a tall hat. But in a frock coat or surtout
or Prince Albert, then a tall but becomes
a proper finish to, the dress, and a round
felt or a fur traveling cap is entirely out
of place. Similarly one would hardly top
on u flannel boating suit with a tall but."

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
' Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that nslouers are unjustly or erroneously re-
du by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
eutltled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will

stating by whom it was presented, I w lobtain a
