WEEKLY - NORWALK - GAZETTE. it was not a Cat. “ Gus” Newcomb has two pet kittens at his home on West Main street that . he is very proud of, and every evening : after dark “Gus” carefully feeds them and locks them in his born, that no harm befall them during the night. On Saturday evening he gave his hostler strict instructions to lock them in the barn. but in some manner the barn door was left ajar and one of the Kittens journeyed out to gaze at the stars. “ Gus.” ever watchful of his pets, saw her perambulating about the lawn and immediately captured her and put her inside the barn and slammed the door. As he started away he glanced at the . ‘ place where his pets were fed each day and was surprised to see the other cat quietly eating an extra meal. T1ptoe- ‘ ing up behind her “ Gus” grabbed his ' pet, but 10 and behold, it was not his ' = pet, nor the pet of any of his neigh- ' here. With a howl he dropped the sup- ! posed cat and rushed to the house for 5 his gun, but when he returned. the sup- ' posed cat was missing. Returning the gun to the house “ us” put for the fence where. holding on by both hands, he reluctantly yielded uphis supper in a fit of seasickness and then madehis usual Saturday night journey to the Bridge for his Sunday dinner. The first person he encountered on Main streetwas Hen. Grumman, who stop- ped him for a chat. Just as “ Gus ” was branching off into politics. Hen. stop— ped him with the rem .rk: Scotti ‘Gus,’ why don’t you hang flyum overcoat out on the line and get. the smell of moth balls out of it?” "It ain’t moth balls,” quoth “ Gus.” “Good night,” said Hen, as he darted in to get one of George Allen’s invig- orator-s. With a quickened step “Gus ” made for Taylor’s hardware store where he seated himself beside the stove to hear Taylor tell about the crabs he caught at Compo. Here the stove got in its work, and the party quickly shoved their chairs back away from “Gus”’ neighborhood, Taylor at the same, time remarking that the smell of moth balls had an unpleasant effect on him, and he would continue his story some other time. Glad for an excuse the entire party decamped, followed by “Gus” who wandered over to VVard- Here they were all glad to see him, and remark- ed on how well he looked. Seating himself in the little office “Gus” listened patiently to one of Bill Mitchell’s best stories, but his stay was short. With that far away look that Bill gets in his off eye, he edged towards the door, while George Ayres’ oysters and clams gasped for fresh air. Gain- in r the front door Bill turned towards “ us” and yelled, “For the Lord’s sake ‘Gus’ get out of here and bury your clothes. We can stand anything but fluid extract of Mephitis.” With a. weary smile “Gus” arose and wended his way home, acting as guilty and crest-fallen as if he had lost an elec- tion, and vowing that he would never again pick up a strange eat. if it was to cause him such “sinking” spells at the stomach and make his friends desert and shy away from him worse than if he had been a . victim of small-pox. One of the most curious things about the. disastrous mistake was that whererer “Gus.” wandered abou the bridge, some one would shout out, “Great Caesar’s ghost lwho is frying sauer kraut around here?”and it is said several parties rushedinto “Jim” Betts’ store and wildly, demanded to know if his stock of Limburger hadn’t spoiled on his hands. well’s market. +>~——-— More Work of' the Tariff. The announcement in the Courant of the lease of the Union Mills in Man- chester to a French company that will at once begin work, there, is a good . piece of news for Connecticut and. an- other evidence of the work of the new tarifl'. Here are idle mills reviving, a new industry established, another con- cern likely to come and join this, and all of it directly attributed to the new tariff. Moreover, there is something very suggestive in the statement that if foreigners only had faith that the tariff bill will stand, many other con- cerns would hasten over here. .9. lShot Himself. Jerome Bristol, aged nine, a pupil in the Uentre District School at Brook- field, found a. pistol on his way to school. Eg’l‘uesday. While examininrr the weapon he accidentally discharge it, the bullet entering his abdomen. The shot attracted the attention of. some schoolmates and two physicians were immediately summoned. The boy was removed to his home, but the docs tors, after a thorough examination, were unable to locate the bullet. His recovery is doubtful. Against the Check-Rein. A professional horse trainer, calls at- tention to the fact that phenomenal Sunol made her unrivaled mile in 208} without a check-rein, and then goes on to say : What more can be saidurging its removal from our race horses ? Sunol is owned by Mr. Robert Bonner, was raised on‘ Mr. Leland Stanford’s farm, and best of all, trained by Mr. Charles Marvin, who has written so much against the check-rein. In view of these facts, it is most earnestly suggested to all Fair mana- gers that the purses next year be offered for the best time without check-reins! Town Meeting. At the adjourned annual town meeting held Tuesday, only about a. couple of dozen were in attendance, yet as it was part and parcel of the regular meeting and any number could vote appropria- tions, five thousand dollars were voted to be appropriated for the care of our town, city and borough highways dur- ing the ensuing year, when the meeting , adjourned. .._._.————"->———————~;~——— instantly Killed.

No increase in License. The Fairfield County Commissioners have decided not to increase the amount of license above the present figure. The' commissioners hold that $400 is enough to tax the saloon keepers as there are so many of them that the total revenue is-suflicient to meet the de- mands made upon them. .0. Another Injunction.

Remnants of a_ People Sold to Havo Lived 10,000 Years Ago. The tradition runs that nine, ten, perhaps even twelve, thousand years ago 3. great continent stretched where now rolls the Atlantic Ocean. This Was the fabled country of Atlantis de- scribed by Plato, the cradle of the race of the Atlantides, who civ11izcd the ancient world. It is alleged that this vast continent was overwhelmed and destroyed by a cataclysm com- bined with a volcanic outburst, after which nothing remained but a few isolated mountain peaks above the ruin of the waters; these mountain heights are to-day the islands of the Canaries, Madeira, the Azores, and Cape Verd, all of which rise precipi- tously and in an isolated manner from the ocean. The same cataclysm cov- ered the Libyan Plain with sea, which on the retiring left the Desert of Sahara. The memory of a terrible catastrophe which overwhelmed a whole continent is still preserved in the fables and traditions of all Euro- pean nations. The Guanches, the inhabitants of the Canary Islands, are said to have been the remnants of the ancient race who 10,000 years ago peopled the drowned continent of Atlantis. In support of this view it is contended that the inhabitants of the seven Canary Islands had no intereommu- nication by means of boats, for they, like all ancient people, had a great dread of the sea; yet, though thus isolated, they all spoke. dialects of the same language, and had the same cus- toms and religion. Their language resembled that spoken by the Berbers of the Atlas range of mountains, and it is hence argued that the Canary Islands were at one time continuous with it. In the fifteenth century these isolat— ed and forgotten remnants of a lost continent were rediscovered. The peol'le were still living in a stone age, and bad no implements but hatchets made of hard obsidian and weapons which consisted of stones thrown from slings, of darts made of wood, with the points hardened in the fire, and of shields ofthe wood of the dragon tree; but so accurate was their aim with these darts and slings, and so indomit- able was their courage, that Europ- eans with the advantages of ships and firearms and the resources of civiliza- tion of the island—The Cornhill Maga- z1nc. The Importance of Sleep. The English Lancet has again been laying gr: at stress on the importance of sleep, to those who would live a long and useful life. Seven to nine hours, according to the temperament and constitution is the modicum that ought to be taken, and the greater the regularity of the hours of slumber, the better its effects are. The public is urged not to unduly prolong the day, for man, in common with most of the animal creation, has accepted the plain suggestion of nature that the approach of night should imply a ces- sation of effort. If he ignores this principle his work is done against in- herited habit, and, so far, with addi- tional fatigue. The practice of work- ing by artificial light is strongly dep- recated, and the Lancet shows-that the old custom of early rest and early walking is certain to prove in future, as returns of. longevity and common experience have shown that it has proved in the past, most conducive to healthy and active life. Short Cut A’cross South America. The important information has been received by the Bureau of American Republics that “a short cut” across the continent of South America has recently been discovered by the cele- brated explorer Carlos Fry. The route, as described by him in a letter to the perfect of the department of J unin, in Peru, lies from Chanahamyo to a good point on the Pichis, one of the navigable tributaries of the upper Amazon, and he declares that it will be possible by this route to reduce the journey from Lima to the eastern river ports from thirty days to four or five. With a. few score laborers he estimates that the road can be com- pleted in six months atacost of $4,000. The completion of this' road would work a revolution in the trade and-in- dustry of the far interior of the re- public of Peru, which, although it comprises some of the richest regions in the world, is now comparatively valueless owing to the lack of means of transport- Nexv Sugar Process. It is claimed that a new process has recently been made in the manufac- ture of sorghum sugar by which gum substances may be eliminated from the saccharine matter, and which will make the cane yield from sixty to seventy pounds more of sugar to the ton than it has been doing. Profes- sor Wiley, who has been experiment- ing in this, says that sorghum sugar will bring about three cents a pound and possibly four cents. This will give the farmer more for his product than anything else he can produce, and still leave a. good profit to the manufacturer. Sixteen Centuries Dormant. It has been claimed that the seeds taken from ancient Egyptian tombs are capable of growth, but proof of the claim is lacking It has been dem- onstrated, however, that seeds of a. very great age are capable of devel- opment. BaSpberries have been raised from seeds taken from the stomach of a man who died during the time of the Emperor Hadrian, who reigned in the second century of our era. Think of it, a seed springing into new life after lying dormant six- teen centuries. A Life-Long Disappointment. “What a sad face she has.
