A Suggestion Worth Attention

To the Editor of the Jo URNAL AND COURIER:
 It has been well said that "A thing of beauty is joy forever" Our East Rock Park is and will be such joy. Now, who is the happy man who will write his name in gems of beauty and rainbows of light for the present and all future generations to read? That man, whoever he may be, (and be- ieve there is such man, will build monu- ment to his memory that will never fade It will be like the starry heavens, ever bright and ever beautiful. East Rock Park. will never be finished as it should be until pro- vision is made for ten or fifteen fountains on the face of the rock. They need not be ex- pensive, but hang down the face of the rock pendant like a chandelier at suitable distances apart and half way from base to summit. Make 8 reser- voir on the top of the rock, pump water into it from Lake Whitney make it's capacity sufficient to run the foun- tains two hours every pleasant afternoon, say from to o'clock four months in the year. Imagine thousands of jets and drops of water thrown into the air and touched by the suns rays turned into gems of perfect beauty. Think of the old rock quietly resting upon it's firm foundation witnessing generations come and go with more brilliants upon it's breast than king ever wore at his coronation. all hail to the man who will give to ths people this joy forever.

 Mayor D. N. Morgan of Bridgeport, who has represented the crippled company in that city, said yesterday: "Yes, it is true that the concern has failed, but think the difficulties are only temporary. I have every confidence in the character of the men who are prin- cipalIy interested in the company. do not think that such 8 very large amount of the stock is held in Bridgeport. The fact that the farmers out there were unable to sell their wheat has affected the f. nances of the corporation. The company owns the threshers of these farmers until the machines are paid for, and as the farmers were not inclined to sell their wheat at the current prices and could not pay for the threshers. that has made big difference. I believe that the di- rectors are es able men and fnanciers as can be found in the United States. Many of them are millionaires, and they all stand high for business capacity and integrity. I believe it will all come around right in the end. You know the fire crippled the company consider ably"

could not very well ignore what had
been the subject of common gossip. He
stood up in the pulpit and declared that
the stories were all false. More than
this, he assumed such an air of injured
innocence that the majority of the con-
gregation at once gave an impromptu
vote of their confidence in his integrity
and statements. Shortly after this the
pulpit of church in the neighboring
town of Plainfeld happened to be with
out pastor on certain Sabbath, and
one of the deacons of the church had
arranged to read sermon to the con-
gTegation. At the last moment Young
Whalen was invited to preach one, and
he accepted, and report says by sim
gular coincidence he preached the iden-
teal discourse which the deacon was
about to read from the New York mag
azine above alluded to. About this time
the young divine's popularity began to
have a downward tendency in the Cum
mington market The final overthrow
was not long delayed. Ex-senator
James White, of Boston, is a native of
Hinsdale, a town not far from Cum
mington, and every Summer he visits
the home of his youth to get a breath Of
fresh air. Mr.. White came near enter
ing the ministry at one time, and he has
always been an active and enthusiastic
churchman. He had hea about Wha-
len, and one Sunday he went over to
Cummington to hear him preach. The
sermon was an excellent ore and elo-
quently delivered, but, unfortunately
for the status OF the preacher, MIR.
White subsequently found it, it is said,
in work published nearly century
ago. After so many conclusive proofs
Of his ways, Mr.. Whalen wisely left
town and he has not been heard from
since. 1t is stated that, in spite of his
deception, he crested sincere religious
awakening in Cummington, and his
presence among the people is believed
to have been in the highest degree ben

The Origin of EARRINGS.

According to the Moslem creed the
reason why every Mehammedan lady
considers ither duty to wear earrings
is attributed to the following curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells US, was
so Jealous of the preference shown by
Abraham for Hagar that she took q
solemn VOW that she would give herself
no rest until she had mutilated the fair
face of her hated rival and bondmaid.
Abraham, who had knowledge of his
wife's intention, did his utmost to
pacify his embittered spouse, but long
in vain. At length. however, she re-
Tented and decided to forego her plan of
revenge But how was she TO fulfill the
terms of the vow she had entered into?
After mature reflection she saw her way
out of the difficulty. Instead of dis
figuring the lovely features of her bond
maid, she contented herself with boring
hole in each of the rosy lobes of her
ears. The legend does not inform us
whether Abraham afterward felt it In
cumbentupon him to mitigate the smart
of these little wounds by the gift Of Q
costly pair of earrings, or whether Hager
procured the trinkets for herself. The
fact remains, however, that the Turkish
women, all of whom wear earrings
from their seventh year, derive the use
of these Jewels from Hagar. swho is held
in veneration as'the mother OF Ishmael
