A Connecticut Tragedy.
AN EPISCOPAL MINISTER SHOT DEAD EY
HIS WIFE.

BHIDGEPoRT, Sept. 2+.-A shocking
tragedy occurred in the quiet village OF
| Stratford this morning. Rev. David l..
Lounsbury, rector of Christ Church, was
shot by his wife as he lay asleep and was
instantly killed. \ cOroner's jury was
summoned and assembled at eight
o'clock Mary Cummings, a servant
testified that she has lived in the family
seven weeks. The relations of the
3,husband and wife were exceptionally
pleasant. She knew Mrs. LOunsbury
! to be an invalid. Mrs. LouDsbury had

saying that Mr.. David l.. Lounsbury

eleven years, the only child OF the de-
ceased, was awakened by the noise of a
revolver. She went down stairs and
went for physician. Her mother had
been more iii than usual the previous
evening. DIR. 4. S. Allen probcd the
wound and as asccrtaincd that the ball
! had entered the base OF the brain two
inches below the occipital protubcrancc,
and M inch to the left Of the medal
line, passing obliuuely upward. The
pistol was a cheap thirty-tWO revolver.
From lady friend of the family and
member OF the parish it was learned
that Mrs. l.ounsbury purchased the re-
volver in New Haven u year ago on
account of timidity, consequent upon an
attempt to burglarize the house. She
had concealed the knowledge Of its
purchase from her husband. She is a
lady Of very full habit and subject to
rnshes OF blood in the head. She re-

There seems to be little ground fol

Little Cotton Factories in, al,r
South.
Now York IIrriilll.


When Il Southern newspaper finds rr-
spite from politics it usually discusses
the question Of establishing small cotton
factories throughout the South. The
fact is that many mills of limited ca-
paclty have been established, cspccjallv
I'D South Carolina and Georgia, and thcv
are important Instruments OF leturuin-
prosperity Ill those States. That they
are not large Is not detrimental to their
success. They are mainly run by water
power, IN nelghbolhoodS where there i,
d small population which would have no
other places OF employment during ccr-
tain seasons of the year.
1t has been found that coorcd Girls
and boys alc quite dcXtcrons at Ihc
spindle, and that where the little mills
are located there is much more neocc
and or,icr than i'll hamlcts where there
IS no IndllStrlAl attraction for the idle,
| he cotton IS nc;u at hand, the running
power IS cheap, the wolkmcn are at
tractcd hy the novelty and by the olpor,
1'lnlty to labor under Shcllering roofs.
the Warps command ready market,
and the profits, relieved OF much of the
expense OF heavy freight, are far from
Incon5ldcrablc. In nearly every case Of
success the enterprise has been Under
charge OF practical spnncrs and business
men.
In an economical point OF view moth
ing could be clearer than that the cot
ton slloul LIT be spun near where il is
raised. As an element of civilization
these little mills arc working wonders,
and every community which seeks to
establish one is taking IA step toward
/ the elevation pi both races. The little
mill plan IS morally opposed to thu;
, lazoo plan, and every hamlet which
has il factory is, in all that is politically
and socially desirable, many years in
advance OF those "cross roads" whose
only attractive spot is tavern.

American Superstition.

NJ" 1Dlh lEHifSi
The following supCrstitiOns, handed
down by tradition, are yet teryently
believed in many parts Of America :
Whoever reads epitaphs loses his
memory. TO rock tie cradle when
empty is injurious to the child. TO cat
while a bell is tollins for a funeral
causes toothache. The growing of a
hen indicates some approaching disas-
ter. When a mouse gnaws Il gown

who has teeth wide asunder must seek
his fortune in some distant land. Who
cveriindsa four leaf aftrefoil-sharnrock
should wear it for good luck. Beggar's
bread should be given to children who
are slow in learning to speak. If u child
less than twelve months old he brought
into a cellar he becomes fearful. When
children play soldiers on the roadside
it forebodes the approach of war. \
child grows proud if suffered to look
into a mirror while less than twelve
months old. He who proposes moving
into a newdlousc must send in before
hand bread and Il new broom. Who
ever sncezes at an early hour either
hears some news or receives some pre-
sents the same day. The first tooth
cast by child should be swallowed by
the mother, to insure IL new growth OF
teeth. Buttoning the coat awry, OF
drawing on q stocking inside out, causes
matters to go wrong during the day.
By bending the head to the hollow of
the arm the initial letter Of the name
of ones future spouse is represented
Women who SOW tlaX-seed should, du-
ring the process, tell some confopnded
lies, otherwise the yarn will never
bleech white. When women are stuff
fing beds the men should not remain in
the house, otherwise the Weathers will
come through the ticks. When stran
ger enters room he should be obliged
to seat himself if only for a moment,
as he otherwise takes away the children's 5

Sleep.
HOW MUCH AND HOW LITTLE REST A
MAN CAN DO WITH,


Discussing the amount Of sleep nee
essary, the New York Times shows
that Napoleon Bonaparte could slip into
unconsciousuess the moment he lay
down sleep for an hour, half an hour,
ten or five minutes, as he wished. And
lie hardly ever slept more than four
hours a night, although he used his
brains and nerves, not to speak OF bis
body, as few men have before or since.
Quinn, the actor, on the other hand,
would sleep for twenty four consecutive
hours. Not q few persons sleep any
length Of time if undisturbed, never
waking spontaneously where there is
quiet, even after twenty Or more h0urS.
One John Mackey, of Skerry, England,
died in 1897, at the age Of ninety -one !;
l.e had been remarkably healthy and
yiigQrous from birth, and yet he had
never slept more than four hours Of @
night. Frederick the Great and John
Hunter, the celebrated surgeon, slept
but five hours, and Gen. FiChegru never
allowed himself to exceed one hour ont
of twenty-four during a whole years
Walter Scott declared that
le.. required eisht hours of absolute
oblivion ii Ej q Iim fol- TIE duties of com
position. Men of firm will, high char
lcteT, great self f-discipline, can do pretty
much as they decide. They can, it so
inclined, re=create themselves, and one
seldom hears OF their saying WHAT they
must or must not do. More or less
sleep is essential to all OF us, but we
ian live and be comfortable on very
little, it we be so resolved.

TIE INDIANA PLAN.-A divorce and
marriage occurred recently which were
of nature somewhat peculiar and
amusing. A German shoemaker resid-
ing on the National road, west Of White
River ridge, became suspicious OF the
fidelity OF his wife, young baker re-
siding on Blake street being the person
whom he suspected. of alternating his
wife's affections. He brOached the un-
pleasant subject to his wife one even
ing, and she acknowledged the I'M
parchment. A divorce was mutually
agreed upon, and a division OF the
property was made, the wife receiving
two hundred and fifty dollars and a
COW. All preliminary arrangements
we're made, no hard feelings having
been cngendered OIL the part of any of
the parties interested, and on the day
appointed the baker and neighbor of
the candidates for divorce proceeded to
the Courthouse, the last named going
as witness. The divorce was granted,
neither party interposing any objection,
and the discovered couple and friends
started back home. On the way, the
baker, who was to get the divorced
wife, proposed bottle of wine. The
party stopped at q saloon, and, while
they were drinking the Wine, the baker
and the witness repaired to the county
clerks Office and obtained u marriage
license, to be used at the wedding Of
the divorced wife and her baker-friend
that afternoon. BY mutual agreement
tile baker is to furnish bread for the
shoemaker, and the latter is to make
the shoes for the bakers family. This
is the way it is done in Hoosierdom.

\ Goop WoMAN.-A good woman
never grows old. Years may 90 over
her head, but if bcncyolence and virtue
dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as
when the spring of life first opened to
her view. When we look upon Il good
women We never think of her agc-shc
looks as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloomed upon her check.
That rose has not faded. In her
ncighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor; in the church the dcvout
worshiper and exemplary Christian.
Who does not love and respect the
woman who has passed her day in acts
of kindness and mercy-Wlo has been
the friend OF man and God-whose
whole life has been d scene Of kindness
and love. q devotion Of love and rcli-
Sion We repeat, such woman can
not grow old. She will always be fresh
and b,loyant in spirits, and active in
humble deeds of mercy and dbenevalencG.
If young lady desires to retain the
bloom and beauty of youth, let her not
yield to the sway of fashion and folly;
let her love trutl: and virtue: and to
the close of life she will retain those
feelings which now make life appear
a garden of sweets ever fresh and ever
new,

The Stage "a Hundred Wears

HOW ACTORS DRESSED IN THE ULDEN

Garrick played Macbeth in u scarlet

he had gone SO far as to dress Machcth h
as a Highlander of l1tJ, wore in his
honnct 4 tremendous. hcarse- plume,
unit! Scott pluckcd it out, and placed
an eagles feather there in its stead.
The costumes of the ladies were almost
more absurd. Whether they appeared
as Romans, Greeks or females OF the
Middle Ages, they dressed the same
in the huge hoop, and powdered halr
raised high upon the head, heavy
hrocaded robes that required two pages
to hold up, without whose assistance
they could scarcely have moved, and
servants were dressed quite as ma"nili-

In scenery there WAS no attempt at

the picture of a husband coming home

OF the long evening when he wouldn't

home to dinner without warning or

over so triiiiny Il matter as her little
