 Fourth of July was celebrated by two pie nics one from Winsted and one by tho St. Marys church of this place. The Winsted party had the services of the Union cornet | band of that place, whose music was choice
 and well executed They were very gentee
 and orderly, and members of the total absti- l hence society, therefore were not under the | influence ofintoxicating of beverages, and trying | to act like rowdies and ruffians. The most 1 pleasing sight here during the day was a cav alade of fantastics from Ore Hill which amused | us very much. Their costumes were very gay
 although their faces were not natural to the
 gaze of the people. Some of our people kept | the 4th the rest of the week.
 | Mr. Martin Turner of shelburne Falls, Mass,
 and Edgar Armstrong of the same place are visiting here for few days. They formerly
 worked for the Holley manufacturing company here They look hale and hearty and are
 warmly welcomed by their many friends. The Lakeville band played for the St. Mary
 picnic, and looked very nice. Before they
 went to the grove they drove through the vil-
 lage and played some nice tunes, which was
 quite musical treat to us. ST. ELMO.

 | The Gel-orious 4th was duly celebrated by
 all creation, that is all the F. V. creation, in
 solemn manner. Exercises were opened by
 cannon firing at a. m., and continued at in
 tervals until night. Some very unpatriotic in- dividuals stole the cannon in the night, and
 that put back the burned gunpowder until an l hour later than it's advertised time. Every
 thing remained quiet until Il a. m:, when
 Fuckers cornet band began new series with choice selection, after which the assembled
 multitude repaired to the M E. Church to
 listen to the speeches, etc. Rev. F J. Belcher opened the exercises with a very impressive
 prayer, after which the Declaration of Inde- | pendence was read by D. W. Clarke. Squire | Clarke also gave 8 very comprehensive retrospect of Connecticut's early colonists, and

 The tragic death of Mrs. Roland at Nj agara Falls few days ago-an occurrence which happened when that lady reached down, at tho edge of one of the islands called
 the Three Sisters, to dip up a cup of water | from the rapids, and fell in and was carried over the cataract-was all seen in a dream
 even to minute particulars two nights before
 the accident happened, by aperson in Hart l ford, stranger to the unfortunate lady. Very little shooting was done in this place on the 4th. there being no fireworks
 for sale here Clark & Ives, the popular
 young merchants of East Canaan, had stock, however, and so fiercely burned the fire ofpa triotism in their breasts and so strong their
 natural generosity, that they voluntarily as
 sumed the task of supplying Young America
 with firecrackers at low figure, and many of
 the ''worthy poor" without money and with out price.

The Blue-Glass Theory Revived.

The latest Boston medical idea is an
elaboration of the blue glass theory
Sunlight is thrown into water through
coIored lenses, and thus curative quail
ties are impaired to the water. The
inventor says SO, at least. "The suns
rays" he explains, "are composed of
actual substances with their exquisite
and wonderful chemical powers, and,
aided by spectrum analysis, have been
able to give the Leading elements that
compose each color. Each color has its
own distinct power to heal" Red,
orange, and yellow are warm colors, and
directly exciting in their nature, while
blue and violet are soothing. His man
ner OF applying these remedies is as fol-
lows: !" Health comes from the equili-
brium of colors in the human system,
and when ever any one color is so much
in excess as to produce disease, harmony
must be brought shout by finding the
color which is its chemical affinity.
Thus, If person abounds in redness, as
in red hair and flushed skin, he needs
blue light. Whenever the blue prevails
too much, so as to give blue veins, blue
finger nails, and a pale cold condition,
the warm red and orange light is
needed. When person has too great::a

Easy Lessons in Magic.


Almost all tricks of Iegerdsmain owe
their effect to some cunniDgly eoutrived
apparatus, and not to any skill on the
part of the per 'ormer. The tricks we
are about to describe are an exception.
No apparatus is needed-no parspherus-
lis is necessary. But sleight-oi hand is.
Also some "caeek." 4
The Egg Trick.-Although this trick
may seem to partake of the marvellous,
it is in fact, very simple. An egg slightly
indisposed will answer the purpose. if q
healthy one is not obtsinsble. First,
pass the egg around the audience TO con-
vince them that it doesn't contain a
false bottom. Now. attract their atten,
ton by relating a little story about
hen in Oshkosh that laid four eggs on
each week day, and seven on Sunday.
This will put the audience in good hu.
NOR Then call upon young man with
light trowsers to assist you in the trick.
When he comes upon the stage, motion
him S chair, and, as he is ia the act of
sitting down, deity place the egg under
him. You win be astonisbed at the
fluent manner in which he quotes pro-
fame history. In performing this trick
always select small man to assist you,
as it will prove healthier-for the per
former. sf @ 1o.I

Sinking Rivers.
Eureka Sentinel.

All of the principal and many Of the
smaller streams in Nevada hsve no OUT
let. The larger rivers all terminate in
lakes of very considerable area respect
lively. The most singular thing is thst
the water supply iu these lakes is at all
times the same. The spring freshets
filling the rivers from Tank to bank,
work no perceptible change in these
great reservoirs What becomes of all
this water is the mystery. 1t has b EN-
a generally accepted theory that the e
exists subterranean c injection between
the Nevada "sinks" and the Pacific
ocean. But this theory is disputed by a
gentleman who has resided on the shores
of Humboldt lake. The Silver State
has the following on the subject: g A
great many persons entertain the opins
ion that there is 3 subterranean outlet
to the sink Of the Humboldt. One OF
these expressed his views on the subject
in the presence OF Walter Schmidt who
has resided near the sink for several
years, and built quartz mill near the
visible outlet OF the lake. Schmidt dis.
sented from this opinion, and argued
that SIS the sink has hard, clayey bot
tom. impervious to water, it would be
impossible ,or it to soak through under
ground, and attributed the disappear
ance of the river to evaporation.

A Startling F'acJ.

Some scientific tests which have been
in progress for several months by one of
the most distinguished professors of
agricultural chemistry in the country
have developed rather a startling fact
that the sprouting qualities of last years
crop of No. 2 spring wheat have been
seriously damaged, owing to the excess
sive heat which prevailed Just before
the harvest of last year in various parts
of the West, notably Minnesota, and IN
consequence of which a large quantity
of the wheat product is utterly ruined
by the blight. This fact is ofincalculable
importance to farmers out West. No. 2
spring is the grade which is generally
used for sowing purposes, and it is feared
unless the farmers are promptly in
formed of this timely discovery as to the
destruction of last years products, and
make ample allowance for it in their ar
rangements for sowing this spring-that
the next crop will not equal 80 per cent.
of the usual product. 1t is stated that
damage to the sprouting capacity of the
kernel is not such as to affect its value
for milling purposes. Outwardly, &c all
appearance, the kernel is plump and I'M
impaired. But it is the structural in
terror growth which is affected. The
discovery of these facts is timely indeed,
and If properly promulgated may avert
pretty disastrous consequences, such as
would surely follow on general use of
damaged wheat for sowing. At the same
time, the fact is one of great importance
to all who are interested in the course
of prices for wheat. = NeW York

The Law in the Case OF sold Iren-
.s..... Sides r.,.IIseI

For some years about 1912 our British
brethren made several vain attempts to
capture "Old Ironsides," our famous
frigate Constitution. Now they have
recently been at it again with the like
result. The old vessel the
identity of which, however, there may
be properly as much doubt as that of
the boys jack-knife, which had had new
blades and new handles-being in use as
a school ship, ran ashore of Dorset, and
some British citizens helped her off.
Subsequently they applied to Sir r.
Phillimore to arrest her for those salvage
services, but he held that, it being war
frigate of the United States navy, and
having on board q cargo for national
purposes, it was not amenable to the
civil jurisdiction of that country. He
had previously doubted the same point,
and Lord Stowell had declined to pro-
.nounce an opinion. The doctrine was
laid down by Chief Justice Marshall
Justice Blackburn found very sensi-
bic reason for the same ruling, namely,
Otherwise wars might be brought on
between two countries" If the court
had held the other way Oliver Wendell
Holmes would have been inspired with
q new ode. ike the old one which he
pronounced against the proposition
many years ago to break up the old
ship. Think of "Old Ironsides being

Sacred NnSic.

The owner of a steam sawmin in Ne
vada was until lately member Of a
Methodist church, from which he was
expelled, as ne says, to crafty the per-
sonal spite of the pastor. He resolved
to hold religious services of his OWE,
and, to make them effective, he OBJ
tanned powerful calliope, and attached
it to the steam boiler Of his mill. On
Sundays, the voice of the Methodist
preacher is drowned by the sound Of
the caliope, as it screeches The Sweet
By and By" and other Moody and
Sankey tunes. The clergyman has APP
piled to Justices court for relief, but
the magistrate rules that the use Of the
caliope on Sunday for sacred music is
legal. The question has been carried
to higher court.
