Hartford has justly taken pride in thi
excellent monthly, and will be sorry to
see It disappear. It, has mailt a place for
It-elf.
Who will not say 'Amen," to the sen
timent so admirably expressed by
Senator llawley in an address at a fl ig
raising at Trinity College, recently:
I Hill run that ours is the bet form of
(government and the best government
the world has known. The ablest men
of the old world pruixe the Constitution
a the noblest work of the human intel
lect. As time passes ami it ix tested in
foreseen and unforeseen emergencies,
thn winder grows that the fathers did so
marvel, usly provlile for all iiecessir.HM
and datmer. While c have an iron
rule, wtyet have full play for legiti
mate freedom. In the beginning it was
not doubted by foreign cities that, a dem
ocratic form of government would be
accompanied by violent tumults, dissen
sions, ll net n i Mod-, anil reconstructions.
Vet we have had less of all this than
any other governtm nt. of a civilized na
tion. Kven (ire.it l! itain. justly proud
of her wisdom, ,and i iin'crval ism,
has within a century largely reconstruct
ed her legislation.
It Is well at such a patriotic time as
thl to look on the bright side of things.
As American cill.ens we have reason to
be proud of our great republic, which as
Senator llawley fays, "Mas the best
form of government the world has ever
known."

STEPNEY AND VICINITY.
AT THE (JKKAMERY.
A notice is potted at the creamery
offering to test cows or herds for individ
uals at a nominal prlca by the use of the
Babcock machine. The results of these
tests may be depended upon as positive.
There is no guess work about tbe Bab
cock machine, it shows definitely how
much butter a cow is giving, and enables
the owner of a poor cow to detect her
at once and dispose of her. On the con
trary If a cow Is a good one the machine
tells how good she is. Many an owner
of cows fondly imagines they are all
good until surprised by the story of the
Babcock test. There is no sense in
keeping any but fcthe richest milkers
these hard times, unless you are making
milk for the unthinking or helpless
masses of the cities who usually pay the
same for milk, whether it be good or
poor. The time is not far distant how
ever when miltt peddlers will be com
pelled to sell milk rich in fats or go out
of business, for it is rapidly coming to
be understood that milk deficient in but
ter fats Is deficient also In caseine and
other nutritious properties, so that the
less fat, the more water is the rule,
whether the water be put there by the
cow or her owner. The caseine will
about equal the fats In neraly all sam
ples of milk. This widely acknow
ledged truth shows the importance of
having cows that produce quality, and
the man who weeds out hla poor cows is
the sensible man, for he alone will be
the money making man of the future.

IU PRIVATE PRACTICE.
8ach strong proof3 of the marvelous
cures made by Dr David Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy have been brought to
public notice lately, through the various
newspaper investigations, - that it has
become now the standard medicine for
tbe diseases for which it is prepared.
Dr G. H. Inzraham, of Amsterdam
N. Y., states where the regular pre
scriptions used In acaseot kidney disease
and gravel utterly failed, he prescribed
Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and it
cured the patient.
Dr William Smith, of Jewett's
Heights, N. V., prescribed Favorite
Remedy for Mrs Casper Brooks, of
Athens, M. i. ., who was sunering ironi
kidney disease, ulceration of the stom
ach, complicated with sickness peculiar
to tier sex ; after the second dav, steady
improvement was noted, and final per
manent recovery.
Dr Kenned' Favorite Remedy acts
directly upon the kidneys, liver and
Dlood, in cases or nervousness, dyspep.
sla, rheumatism and Bright's disease;
it has made most pronounced cures,
after all other treatments have failed.
Druggists sell it.
to make them enjoy the hour. Beauti
ful cards are given every one wbo at
tends regularly, and a rivalry has al
ready sprung up to obtain the largest
number of these attendance cards. Af
ter reciving five of these card3 they may
be exchanged for a larger, prettier one to
keep. When a pupil nas secured three
of these ownerships cards he is entitled
to a large, beautiful card, upon wnicn is
expensively stamped some of the rare
and lovely tropical flowers or birds with
most brilliant plumag . These cards may
also be kept. In addition to them, at
the end of the year, the scholar having
the largest number of ownerships cards
is entitled to a special prize that will be
well worth striving tor. Sunday school
opens at 4 30 and closes promptly in one
hour.
Repeated tests of the milk of Wilbur
r rench s herd show it to be excellent.

of Trumbull, otlleers of the Humane so
ciety, have been in town looking after
several parties here, who use horses
which are crippled and otherwise dis
abled, and certain ones who abuse those
horses by whip and other brutal treat
ment, which if continued will result in
the arrest and prosecution of these
oll'enders and as public sympathy is in
favor of the abused animal, it is well
that all who handle this class of worn
out horses take a timely hint, and avoid
a skirmish with the law.

REDDING.
A NEIGHHOKUOOIJ WAR.
The feud that for a long time seemed
to have subsided between the neighbors

her door yard. This indignity proving
to be a grievance too great to endure,

grand juror and the ofl'ender, in custody
of Constable Bartram, was hauled before
a justice and lined 2 and Josts, amount

The Christian Endeavor society
is holding its meetings through the

the past moDths, but on Sunday evening
at 7.15, immediately preceding the even

the attendance on the evening services.

been dismissed at its own request from
the Uousatonic Christian Endeavor
Union, and baa become a member of the

ience geographically, and we hope that
it will be equally profitable in other
ways. ' '
