Quite a number of the readers of the DAILY GAZETTE have importuned us to implore the engineer of the Housa- tonic freight, whc goes up about three o’clock every 3. 111. to shut off his screeching whistle. He starts it down at Pine Island cemetery and keeps it blowing till he wakes up everybody between there and Winnipauk. appar- ently for sheer devilment.

A conside1 'ate generosity which he highly appreciates.‘ _..,L. Too Previous. James Fowler of East Norwalk, who recently returnedfrom a trip to the Pa- cific coast. tells this capital story on himself: He was in the cars on his way up to Oregon, when a dapper fellow came and took a seat beside him and entered into familiar and rather inquis- itive conversation. He wanted to know where he Was from, when he was last in New York, Albany, Rochester, Buf- falo, Cleveland, Chicago. Omaha, Den- ver. ’Frisco, kc. Fowler replied to all such queries with frankness and rather enjoyed the free and easy sort of run- ning talk of his traveling companion. At the end of an hour 01' two’s ride. his new friend thrgw back his coat and ex- hibited a detective’s shield, at the same time startling our East- Norwalk friend with this abrupt peremptory order : “I just want you. sir. to take the next train back to the East : we’ve got enough of you fellows out here now ; there is no room for any more c1'0oks with us, and you will be wise if you take. my ad— vice without fur ther trouble. ” In vain did Fowler plead that 11011 was an inno- cent and virtuous young man from Norwalk. Conn. The more that he pro- tested that he had just come out to see the country. the more the detective de— termined that he should return. But it was no use: James had come to see Oregon, and he kept on to his journey’s end and did see it. __ L -_.__.. 6 .. ___.L._ 1 7th Conn. Reunion. There has been some doubts as to the annual reunion of the old 17th Conn. Vols. taking place at New Canaan this year although all the comrades living the1e and many of the leading citizens of that place had expressed an earnest desire that it should be held there. But all doubts are now at an end, as last week a meeting was held of the leading citizens of New Canaan, of which Mr. S. B. Hoyt was made chair- man. and an invitation was heartilv ex- tended on the part of the people ofthat town to the gallant old regiment to hold its regular annual reunion there on August 28th. Comrade Charles NV. Smith. who is president of the 17th Conn. Vols. Association, was at New Canaan last week and definitely ac- cepted the invitation of the citizens and concluded all necessary arrangements for holding the regimental reunion there on Friday, August 28th, so that all surviving comrades of that organi- zation are requested to take note of the fact and prepare for a full turn—ent on that occasion. - The Coming Camp. Military circles are all agog over the coming camp at Niantic, the expense of which Comptroller Staub has refused to pay. No name has as yet been se- lected for the camp, but “Camp “Tat- son” is being favorably considered. Company F is domg nothing ' towards preparing for camp owing to the ab- sence of their Captain, who it is said, will not return to town until after the company has received their orders for the riot drill. Gen. Watson will, at the request of Col. Haven of the Third regiment, lay before Bishop McMahon the matter of conducting Catholic ser- vices Sunday. Three Months of Free Sugar. The American people have had three months of free sugar, and to'say that they have enjoyed it would fall consid- erably short of expressing the truth. They have revelled in it. \Vith almost the largest fruit crop on record, they have had sugar much cheaper than ever before. The result has been a great in- crease in the consumption of sugar and a corresponding increase to the com- fort of the peeple.—[Indianapolis J our- nal. .- Every nervous person should try Carter’s Little Nerve Pills.

That 1111051: Popular of the “'hite Tea Roses, the Niphetos—It Is an Old, Well Tested Variety, and May Be Trained 'to Cover :1 “'all, Pillar or Post. Niphetos is the most popular of the white teas, there being always a demand for its pure white buds. It has been grown now about fifty years. The illus- tration here given portrays its charac- teristic beauty. It is a free grower both under glass and in the open air. It is a good rose to plant against a low wall, with a warm, sunny and sheltered as- T1111 CLIMBING NIPIIETOS. pect, as in sur h a spot,, 110011 blooms are obtained earlier and later than upon plants fully exposed. Of greater value fora wall is the climbing Niphetos. Itis remarkable that the type should have been grown so many years before a climbing form of it was obtained, but we have one now, and a valuable rose it will doubtless prove. To the market grower who plants out the dwarf Niphetos under glass the climbing form will be valuable for pil— has or rafters in the houses, while in the flower garden this rose must find a. place upon the wall. Those who complain that the drooping habit of .Niphetos is a. defect can now remedy their supposed, but imaginary, grievance by growing the climbing kind, and then when the plant has covered wall. pillar or post they will admire and gladly welcome a characteristic they deplored in the pend- ent disposition of the blooms. \Vhen blooms such as Niphetos produces are borne on such slender twigs it is impos sible for them to do aught but droop. How and “11011 to Prune. Trim in autumn if you wish to grow wood; But trim in spring if you wish to get fruit, is the motto of an Indiana contributor who has the following to say in The Farm Journal: To trim the vine on a trellis we practice two ways—spur trim- ming and long 0 anc trimming—accord- ing to t‘ 1e strength and length of the new last year’ 5 growth. In spur trim-. ming we leave from six to eight buds, on the new canes and cut away everything else. On the long cane system we leave from three to ten feet of the new growth and cut away all others. We always save the canes nearest the ground, and cut out the top as much as possible each year, although the canes here are the most robust, owing to the inclination of the sap to the top. We place canes about eighteen inches apart on the trellis and tie with yellow willow or bass bark or cords. Treatment. of Stove Plants. The different kinds of the warmer section of stove plants that bloom dur- ing the spring and summer will now re- quire a drier atmosphere, as also the soil, than at other times. But if the air be too dry and arid it will injure most of the evergreen sorts. Neither must the soil get over dry, or mischief will follow. This is especially the case with Gardenias that are intended to flower toward the spring. See that all bulbs and tubers, such as Gloxinias, Caladi- ums, Curcumas and Gloriosas, are not allowed to remain for any length of time in places where the temperature is too low. Though these roots, and others of a like nature, will bear while quite dry and at rest to be much cooler than when growing, it' too cold they perish. Facts Not Generally Known About Peas. Now for something not generally known about peas. Large seeded peas, no matter, what their quality may be, are disliked on aristocratic tables, and our highest toned French cooks abso- lutely refuse to cook them. Alpha, Ad- vance and Champion of England are ideal peas in size. It is rather trying to see the splendid Stratagems served to the servants and the lesser peas to McAllil— ter. Stratagems with us on rich, sandy land, grow 24 to 3 feet high, and Tele- phones 7 01' 8-feet high. Telephone is a pea of fine quality, but it grows too rank and doesn’t crop enough.'—Popular Gardening. _ Practical Hints. At a meeting of a Michigan horticult- practical hints were given: The quince can be raised from cut- tings out either in fall or spring. If cut in the autumn they should be laid on the grass and covered with leaves 01' boards. Runners on grape vines should be cut off during the growing season if the vine is a strong grower, otherwise not. In the last case simply rub off a portion of the buds as they begin to start. Plant grape vines eight feet apart, and twelve feet apart in the rows, unless land 18 very high in price. The Clinton grape is not worth much except for jelly. When grapes sell at two cents a pound raise better varieties, such as Delawares, which always bring a good price. Salem, N iagara and Agawam have fair keeping qualifies. Concord is not a good keeper.
