THERE hasn't been such an old fash

THERE hasn't been such an old fash toned line storm in good many years, as that of last Friday and Saturday. It was promptly on time and the pro- gramme was carried out with scarcely 8 hitch or break The scenes were shift ed and the thunder and lightning came in just at the proper moment, but not so as to shock the nervous and frighten the children. In this town the greatest damage was sustained by MT. Levi Bron- son. MT. B. is one of the oldest and most successful tobacco growers in this section, and had large shed filed with an excellent crop. The shed was part ly built over stream which gradually undermined and washed away the foun- dation, and like the house that was built upon the sand, it fell, and with it's val uable contents, disappeared down the angry stream His loss is over $200O without insurance. This is sudden sweeping away of so large an amount of property, and MT. B. has the sympathy of the community. In Hartford the rain fall was 5H inches, it being nearly 3h inches Saturday. The Connecticut river was reported 16 feet above high water mark, and rising. Park river rose to higher point than for many years.
 In Waterbury an inch of rain fell an hour for three hours Saturday, and the streets were inundated and cellars flooded. The Naugatuck river overflow ed its banks and the supports of the costly iron bridge in progress of con struction were washed away and ths completed portion of the bridge fell involving loss of $15,O0O. The storn seems to have been severe in New Jer sey, bridges, dams and culverts were carried away and several lives are re ported lost.
 The railroads in this vicinity seem te have escaped much damage, and on botl the Housatonic and Conn. Western train, have been pretty uniformly on time.

PROFESSOR Lewis Boss of the Dudley Observatory, Albany, says, that the comet that has just made it's appearance, is identical with the one seen in 1943 and in 1880. He holds that this comet has almost grazed the surface of the sun and believes that sometime within the present century, it will fall headlong into the sun.

saw that prisoner had get between
her husband and the unlocked door
and was going for it like Scotch

hadn't the strength to seize and
hold him, and besides he had a
knife, so she didn't try. But she
stepped into side corridor near the
head of a flight of stairs the prison
er had got to descend, yanked off
her hoopskirt, and, as he passed,
flung it before him. The wayne
turned handsprings and somersauits
down those stairs was a caution to
cats, and his frantic struggles after
he reached the bottom would have
attracted folks from a dog fight.
When the jailor came up, the fellow
had got himselfso entangled that he
was absolutely helpless. was doub-
led up in terribly uncomfortable

so completely wound up that the

hatchet, and it took half yard Of

suggestions About Hogs.

The Lewiston (Hl.) Gazette con-
tains the following Every paper

ionally TO- keep the q fact before IFS
readers that burned corn is a certain
and speedy cure for hog cholera.
The best way is. to make q pile Of
corn on the cobs, effectually scorch
it and then give the affected hogs
free access ito it. This remedy was
discovered by +! E. Lock at the time

county, together with a large lot Of
store corn, which was so much in

peared. The remedy has been tried

Home Training for Girls.

The problem that comes up in the
lives OF all mothers requiring full
solution, is that in which the well
fare and happiness. of their daugh-
ters is concerned. 1t takes years of
patient study and careful wisdom
to successfully fit them to battle
with life in all it's protean forms and
inscrutable phases. All mothers
have a lofty ideal of womanhood,
conceived in their imaginations-an
ideal replete with all the grace and
charms of pure womanliness-and
to cause their daughters to reach
their standard OF perfeetions so far
as woman is concerned, they labor
with love and patient endurance.
They very often fail because their
ideas are vague and not sufficiently
developed to attain the results for
which they were toiling. The edu-
cation of girls is the first great thing
to be considered as the ruling ele-
ment that holds sway in their future
life. A thorough knowledge of
music, language. mathematics and
science is very desirable, in truth
essential, to thorough culture, yet
these are by no means ali that goes
to make up true, noble woman.
The development of character and
heart, the innate consciousness of
life ald its grand aims and posi-
bilities. the knowledge of the secret
yet steady influence which she as a
woman will exercise in life, and the
chaste dignity and nobility of char
acter are all essentials to the mould
ing of a genuine woman. A mother
can easily form her daughter to
reach the ideal standard of woman~
hood which she cherishes by incul-
eating into her young mind and
heart all noble sentiments of chaste
honor, dignity and worth, and the
result of her careful teaching will
be a woman nobsy planned-what
God desired her to be-with none of
the petty articles and shams of So
ciety to disguise her in the moral
meaning of the word.

Torturing Russian soldiers.

During the proceeding of a court
martial latelyil ed at st. Petersburg
upon five hussars, of the. Imperial
| Guard, accused of having assassi-
mated a sergeant of their squadron,
lit came cut in evidence that the
murdered man,in obedience to orders
received by him from his superior
officer, Prince Chowansky, had tor
tured the man under his. command
with the most revolving barbarity'.
He was want to drive them, bare
footed, about a barraek yard be-
strewn with sharp fiints, and then to
steep. their wounds in petroleum
Other torments of an altogether in
|describablc character were inflicted
upon his victims by the heartiess
miscreant. Prince Chowansky, ex-
amined by the court with respect
to these horrors, avowed that they
had been perpetrated by his order,
and had the audacity to add "that
nobody but person utterly igno-
rant OF military matters could ex-
perience any surprise at his method
of dealing with insubordinate sol
diers." His comrades took occa-
sion to disavow this assertion pub
licly; the court acquitted the accus-
ed from the charge of murder. and
the colonel of the regiment, Baron
Meyendorf, forthwith resigned his
commission. Chowansky has been
placed under arrest, and will be
shortly tried for melting his subor-
dinate officer maliciously to wound
the soldiers Of the Car.

A Woman's Love,

Men have been provided by an in
dulgent providence with very many
varied ways in which to employ
their time-innumerablc paths in
which to tread that art not encum-
bered with the Establishments of af-
fection. Ambition and glory are to
them such strong incentives that
the tenderer sentiments of their ma
lures are overwhelmed by the tow
ering sensations of the former. But
it is not thus with women; exclud-
ed,, as they are, from all these ave-
nues of advancement ..and laurels of
ambition, their natures cling with
cherisbing fervor to the more amia-
bic sentiments of humanity. The
heart of a true woman is ever open
to the tenderest impressions of love
and is capable of retaining those
impressions, SO that they are sell
dom, if ever, effaced from memory's
tablet when once they have been
imprinted there. He who wins the
virgin affections of a noble and vir-
tuous girl, holds them even when
she goes out from the world to the
grave. 1t is indeed true that wo-
man loves once and forever. How
Fmuch an honorable man should
lprize and cherish the love of good
woman, and how many men do we
find who cruelty neglect these pure,
God-sent, joy producers in the dark
est liours.of sorrow and adversely.

To the Girls.

Never marry a man who has only
his love for you to recommend him.
H'he is not otherwise what he should
be you will never be happy. The
most perfect man who did not love
should, never be your. husband. But
though marriage. without love is
terrible, love alone will not do. If
the man is dishonorable to other
men, o. mean, or given to any vice,
the time will come when you will
loathe him or sink to his level. 1t
is hard to remember amid kisses
and praises that there is anything
else in the world to be done or
Lhonght Of but love making; but the
days Of love are many, and the hus-
band must be a guide to be trusted; /;
q companion, a friend as we'll as a
loveEs Many q girl has married a
man whom she knew to be anything
but good, because he loved her so,'
and the fame has died out on the
hearth-stone of home before long,
and, besides, she has been sitting
with the one that she could never
hope would lead her heayenward--
or who, IL she followed him as a
wife should. would guide her steps
from perdition. Marriage = sol

The Flora Of Europe.

The flora of Europe is more varied
than it's fauna, Coming through
the Bavarian Alps we discovered al
most every plant, tree and flower to
which my eye had become accus-
toned in New York, Connecticut
and. Minnesota-golden rod radiant
above the fences, willows nodding
by the streams, Lombardy pop.ars,
stiff backed and defiant, like the sol.
diers that have so often desolated
these fertile lands, elms (small and
unthrifty, large oaks, whitewoods
and walnut trees, tansy, campanuia,
mulleins, angelica, water lilies, wild
asters, vervain, bouncing bets var
row, the woodbine, honeysuckle, and
many others as familiar. The flow
er gardens are of the same blossoms
as ours, but not so brilliant it seems
to me. The omnipresent grapevine
adds novel element to the lands
cape. Throghout Germany grapes
are generally trained on arbors on
sticks, like beanpoles; on the steep
mountain slopes of Austria they are
bowed down hill over a wire or a ho-
rizontal pole, so as to let in the sun
to the best advantage. All through
Northern Italy they are furnished
trees for a support with the addition
of swing of large wire or rope,
stretching from tree to tree, along
which the agile vine creeps. There
is nothing IN vegetation more pict-
uresque than these leafy festoons in
which the wire of Lombardy is Grad
led. ..
