THE Canaan NEWS is so intensely good that it can hardly endure the thought of Sunday train on the Housatonic road, but its excessive piety does not make it very charitable toward the poor, we judge, for it is rampant over tramps and proposes plan which it says will speedily put every tramp in the state under lock and key. Our pious neigh bor should remember that the master it pretends to serve travelled about in way which would in Connecticut to-day subject him to arrest for this new made crime of being poor. We begin to sus- pect that the NEWS is opposed to loco motion any way, and would even set it. self up against inevitable progress. It won't have Sunday train, and it won't allow people to travel on foot if they follow the so-called divine injuction and carry no scrip. Alas, we fear that our neighbor, like many others, pays undue attention to mint, anise and cum min while neglecting the weightier matters of the law Is 1t so ?-l Winsted Press, June 28. ]-Calm yourself Pinney, and let your jealous rage cool off, or you will burst blood vessel or have ap- poplexy. This is your sec. ond attack on us, and nc doubt is prompted, because we endors. ed the New Hartford Tribune's editorial on tramps. The New Hartford Tribune forced you to publish your articles ot faith. A man that lives in the glass house you do, had better not throw stones Go slow, or we shall lose faith in Pinney You were among the first journals that recently extended the hand of friendship to us, saying ''Here is oul hand and you are the only one that has struck us blow. Is your friendship as hypocrit ical as your creed is disgusting ? IT return for favors shown you, we have received nothing but unkind words. We don't intend to enter in to controversy or waste words in ar guments with an editor who places the Saviour on level with tramp. Give your subscribers less editorial, more To cal news and correspondence.

THERE is scarcely town in the Unit ed States that does not contain some household made desolate by 4th of Ju- ly accident. Some darling boy looses his life or is injured and crippled for life. Of all the devices for making 8 racket, there is no greater nuisance or more dangerous article than the toy pis- tol. Do not allow your children to have one in their possession. The fol- lowing report from only seven states and one city should convince every one of the dangerous nature of the toy pis- tol
 aIn New York there were 68 toy pis- tol accidents last year, of which Is prov ed fatal in Massachusetts, 38, of which 26 produced death in Pennsylvania, 12 of which 10 were fatal {; in Connecticut, 10 of which proved fatal ; in New Jer- sey, 10 of which were fatal in Rhode Island, 5 of which proved fatal in Maine, 6, of which were fatal and in Chicago, 60, of which l9 proved fatal.
 THE town of Pennington, this state, has offered reward of $1, 300 for such in formation as shall lead to the arrest and conviction of the person who committed the recent burglary and assault in that town also 8 reward of $1O, in addition to the $5 paid by the state, for the arrest of each tramp convicted in town, and appointed special constables in each school district to enforce the present law. Other towns in the state are also offering reward of $10, in addition to the $5 paid by the state for the arrest and conviction of tramps. Recent outrages in different parts of the state and the burglaries committed at Essex, Woodbury, Canaan and in numerous other places have aroused people to realizing sense of the condition of affairs and forced them to take measures for self protection.

health of the crew remained good until the

writing from Squirrel Island says
the Ram Island light will be completed this
fall. "The work is being pushed along
very vast. But the light is not on
Ram Island. It's on ledge about
100 feet west of the island. Five moro courses
of stone will finish the tower. The keepers
house is all done, and very comfortable house
it is, and quite a landmark with its bright red
roof. That light will be great help to fisher
men and coasters, as there are some bad lodges
called the Hypocrites over east of the light,
just beyond Fishermen's Island. And, by the
way, Fishermen's Island has been bought
lately by a company, of which Senator Hale is
President. understand that some New York
parties are interested with him, and that they
intend to lay it out for a summer resort"

A Terrific Shock.

III. M. Stevens, managing electrician OF
the Middesex Electric Light Co., had q
most miraculous escape from instant death
Saturday evening, and passed through an
experience which, in the ordinary course Of
events, would have proved fatal to the ma
jority of men. As is his custom he was in
specting the electric dynamos in the Middle
sex street station. They were in full mo-
tion, and were each generating an electric
current equivalent to 25-horse~ power. He
had regulated several of the machines, and
was operating the screw of one of the
brushes when his foot sli pped on the oily
floor and he fell. In falling he retained his
hold of the screw with his right hand, and
with his left instinctively clutched at the
dynamo opposite to save himself from in.
jury. He no sooner touched the machine
than he established a circuit, and the full
force of the current, sufficient to have killed
several men, passed through hiobody. He fell
apparently lifeless, on the floor, his hands
clutching the machines, and Mr. Barnes, the
engineer, telephoned to Mr.. Ross at the Con-
tral street Office that Stevens was dead.
That gentleman jumped into a hack and
drove at once to the station. There he found
Barnes engaged in rubbing the inanimate
form and speedily joined in that operation.
Observing signs of life, he had Mr.. Stevens
conveyed to the hack and driven as fast as
possible to the st. Charles Hotel. There he
was carried to his room and DIR. Brissett
was called. After half an hours labor the
circulation was restored, and those who were
anxiouslY looking on were relieved to sec
him open his eyes and to hear him ask,
"WhO struck me?" He speedily recovered.
and later in the evening left his room. Sun.
day he took a ride into the country, and
Monday morning was at his post as usual.
He is still suffering from the effects of the
shock, and his hands are swollen and burnt
from their contact with the machines. He
suffers no pain, but is filed with an inde-
scrlbable sense of weakness. He says that
the quickest remedy would have been to
have removed his shoes and stockings, and
TO have placed his feet on the bare ground,
the earth being the best possible extractor of
electricity. This is the second severe shock
he has experienced, the first being in Scol-
lay Square, Boston, where he renamed un-
conscious two hours. Measures will be taxi
en- at once to prevent repetition of the
accident.-Lowell Citizen, -r

Why People Take Medicine.

1t is to be feared that to most people med
icine is not an erudite science or a learned
art, but is little more than the common
place administration of physic. They can
not understand medicine without drugs, and
its virtue and power are popularly measured
by the violence of its operations Its very
name is in ordinary parlance Synonymous
with physic. Take from it its pills and po-
tions, and for them you take away its whole
art and mystery. They do not believe in
scheme of treatment, however deep-laid and
skilful, which does not include certain
statutory dosage. So that, as rule, medi-
cal men are practically compelled to give
some for0 of physic, which may be at most
designed to effect some very subordinate
purpose. And it is remarkable how strong
ly even among the educated classes this feel.
ing prevails. Cure by the administration Of
mixtures and boluses is so fixed and ancient
a tradition that it is only very slowly that
the world will give it up. The anxiety OF
the friends of the patient wants to do more
than follow the simple directions of "nurs-
ing," which have been so carefully incul-
Gated and possess apparently so little reme-
dial power. There is nothing of the un-
known about them in which futtering
hope of great advantage can nestle. Thus it
is necessary to educate the world into be-
lief ia medicine apart from drugs, which
finds its power of curing in adaptations of
the common conditions of life and applica-
tions of physiological facts-a medicine
which takes into its hands the whole life and
orders and fashions its every detail with SCI
entific defniteness. 1t is found in everyday
practice that this popular misunderstanding
of the modern spirit of medicine checks the
little tentative advances of more scientific
treatment, and it is necessary that it should
be generally understood how powerfully the
various processes of the economy may be af-
fected by the manipulation of the conditions
of common life.-Dr. Crofts in British Quar-
terlY Review.
