Death of Dr. Brennan.

Dr. Paul M. Brennan, who was tried in this city about eighteen years ago charged with chloroforming and outraging young woman,
 Mary Ann Sheehan of this city, at his office whither she had come to consult him, died recently. The case caused great excitement in this city, equalling for few weeks the excitement over the Jennie Cramer case. Dr. Brennan escaped unpunished. Reports of the trial were published in hundreds of newspapers throughout the country and greatly increased the unenyiable notoriety of the accused previously achieved. He was tall, large, well-formed, vigorous young flowed down over his coat collar and swell
 apparel, he was a noticeable figure any
 where. Although he escaped imprisonment
 except while awaiting his trial, the feeling
 against him was so strong that he readily took the first opportunity after the trial ended to leave town, and it is believed he
 never showed himself here again. A Phila- ae!pnla attorney was in the city
 this week looking for information concerning heirs at law of deceased, he having left about $15,OOO. He represents the divorced wife of Dr. Brennan who says her child, daughter, is the only
 legal heir. About eleven children in as
 many cities are alleged to be heirs of the de- ceased doctor. Dr. Brennan was a native of
 Ireland and studied medicine in '56 and '57 in Dublin. After years practice in Scot land he came to New Hampshire, was after wards in Hartford, and for years, in short travelled from one place to another, staying a short time in each place, practicing medi- cine in his peculiar fashion and frequently getting into difficulties compelling him to leave suddenly.

Good Samaritans' hall by MT. A. w. Judd. The subject was ''The power of love-" The lecturer explained the nature of love and its potent influence in elevating and beneftting the race, and made many sensible and prac- tical suggestions. He dwelt upon the false ideas which prevail and the false methods of education which distort and pervert instead of developing true manhood and woman hood. Mir. Judd urged his hearers to com ply with the divine law of love given to us by the creator, as by so doing they would help the world to approach the millenial state in which true peace and happiness will be enjoyed

Death of Charles H. Fish.

MT. Charles H. Fish, for years one of the prominent merchant tailors of this city and who for several years past has been suffering from the effects of paralysis, died on Monday afternoon at his residence corner ot Chapel and Chestnut streets. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia. His age was 62 years and months He was native of Newport, R. l., and in 1852 came to this city. He first worked for Maltby & Town send as cutter and later became one of the firm, continuing there for several years, after which for many years he was in business for himself, his store being fer years on Church street opposite the postofice. He had fine run of custom and his garments were of the most fashionable make. About 8 years ago he went out of the tailoring business and for several years was an agent for Appleton's en- cyclopaedia, doing very successful business. He also at about this time had an interest in furniture manufacturing business in Fair Haven, which he helped to start but which proved unsuccessful. About ten years ago he had shock of paralysis, since which time he had been unable to attend to business. He was taken ill last Friday with what proved to be pneumonia. Deceased leaves one son, Charles Fish, for years teller in the Yale National bank and for several years past of Denver, Colorado, @ young business man, popular and having large circle of friends. It is thought that he, with his wife, had started east on trip intending to visit New Haven before dispatch sent to him an nouncing his fathers illness and death could have reached him.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Complaints Heard Regarding Various
 Matters.

Complaints Heard Regarding Various
 Matters.
 Professor Brewer presided at the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Health held last evening. A communication was read from George W. Mal6by complaining that all the sewer gas coming from the Dwight street skating rink comes out of a conductor about as high as his front door and about three feet from the latter, and is very bad for the health of his family. The matter was referred to Inspector Jackson to see if the sewer was properly trapped as is ordered by the Board of Health and report at next meeting.
 Thomas Lynch and two other men, who reside on East street near the corner of Wooster street, appeared before the Board and complained that the people in that part of the city could hardly stand the steam and smell of burnt rubber that comes from the manhole on the corner of Wooster and East streets, and is supposed to come from the Rubber shop nearly two blocks away.
 Health Officer Lindsley reported that he had visited the place and found the smell very bad, and when he paid a visit to the Rubber shop MT. Hotchkiss did not deny that the smell came from the shop, but he said that he did not turn steam into the sewer but admitted turning hot water into it.
 The matter was referred to the Board of Public Works to see what rule they had about letting hot water into the sewer.

Before Pens,

The chisel was employed for inscrib-
ing on stone, wood, or metal. 1t was
so sharpened as to suit the material
operated upon, and was dexterously
handled by all early artists. The
style, a sharp-pointed instrument OF
metal, ivory, or bone, was used for
writing on wax tablets. Thestyle was
unsuitable for holding a fluid, hence a
species of reed was employed for writ
ing on parchments. These styles and
reeds were carefully kept in cases, and
the writer's had a sponge, knife, and
pumlce stone, cOmpasses for measur-
ing, scissors for cutting, a puncheon to
point out the beginning and the end
OF each line, a rule to draw and divide
the lines into columns, a glass contain
ing sand. and another with writing
fluid. These were the northumberland
used for centuries to register facts and
events. Reeds continued to be used
TIL the eighth century, though quilts
were known IN the middle of the sew
enth. The earliest author who uses
the word penna for writing pen is
lsldorus, who lived in that century,
and toward the end OF it a Latin SON
net ITO a Pen" was written by an
AnglO-Saxon. But though quilts were
known at this period, they came into
general use very slowly, for in 1443 a
present OF a bundle OF quilts was sent
from Venice by a monk with letter,
in which he says: "Show this bundle
to Brother Nicholas, that he NAV
choose a quill" The only other ma
terial TO which we refer is ink. the COM
position and colors OF which were
various. The black was made of burnt
ivory and the liquor OF the cuttle-fsh.
We are not prepared to say what 9TH
er ingredients We're used or how it was
manufactured, but these ancient man.
uscrlpts prove that the ink was of a SUI
perIor description. Red, purple, silver.
and gold inks were also used. Thered
was made from vermilion and car
NINE, the purple from murex, and the
of these, especially the
gold and silver varieties, was an ex-
tensive and lucrative business.

LanouaOe of the Voice

Nothing betrays so much as the
voice, save perhaps the eyes, but they
can be lowered, and so far their ex-
preston hidden.
In moments of emotion no skill can
hide the fact of disturbed feeling,
though a strong will and the habit of
self-cOntrol can steady the voice when
elsei it would be failing and tremulOus.
Certain voices CRATE on the nerves
and set our teeth on edge, and others
are just as calm as they are irritating,
quoting, or like a composing draught.
A good voice, calm in tone and mu-
steal in quality, is one of the essentials
for a physician-the "bedside voice
which is nothing if it isnot sympathet-
ic by constitution.
Whatever its original quality may
be, the orators voice bears the unmis-
taxable stamp OF art and becomes
artiticiality; as such it may be admir-
able-telling in a crowd, impressive in
address, but overwhelming and chill
ing at home, partly because it is al
ways conscious and never self-forget-
ting.
An orators voice, with its careful
information and accurate accent, would
be as much out of place beside a sick
bed as a brocaded silk for the kitchen
girl.
The voice is much more Indicative
OF the state of the mind than many
people know or allow.
One of the first symptoms of fail
ing brain power Is in indistinct or con-
fused utterance; no idiot has a clear
or melodious voice; the harsh scream
of mania is proverbial, and no person
of prompt and decisive thought was
ever known to hesitate and stutter.
A thick, loose, fluffy voice does not
belong to the crisp character OF mind
which does the most active work, and
when a keen-witted man drawls and
let's his words drip instead OF bringing
them out in the sharp, incisive way
that ought to be natural to him,
there is a flaw somewhere.

Do Not Waste Paris Green.

Vastly more Paris green is wasted
every year than is eaten by potato
beetles. One firm in this city had sold
10000 pounds several weeks ago,
enough we should think, to kill all the
beetles that ever showed themselves
this side of Colorado. A small tea
spoonful of pure Paris green to large
pailful OF water makes a dose amply
strong enough to kill whatever eats
the leaves that have been wet with it..
1t IS not necessary to have the green
show on the vines after the application.
If flour or plaster of Paris is used, one
part OF the green to 100 parts of the
flour or plaster will be as effective as
II more green were used. If applied
dry, only little OF the dust scattered
upon the tender leaves in the center of
the hills will berequired.-New England

Some ofOur Terrible Children

From the Church Eclecticl
l met the other day a mother with
her daughter, a distinguished young
miss OF II or 10. | was introduced to
her, IN which process she behaved with
all the gravity of duchess. She was
just home from a school with the
Understanding title of university"
and | was informed, as a proof of her
superior intelligence, and | also pre-
sumo of the powers of the university,
that she had finished algebra in less
than SIX mOnthsr' | replied that in
deed the performance was extraOrdi-
nary, for | myself had given consider
able attention to the same study for
some twenty-five years, and | felt |
had probably mastered about one
third OF the subject. | saw, as we
parted, that the estimate which she
had held of my mental capacities fell
to zero, and that the damsel felt her
self considerably above me, at any
rate as far as algebra was concerned.
/ asked little girl OF II the
other day what she was do
ing. She had Just finished the Bino-
mial Theorem! This absurd process
OF what IS called, forsooth, education,
'puffs up" the minds of children until,
what wonder is it they feel on a par
with their elders, and disport them
selves as men and women, not know
ing, alas the rules of courtesy, nor
having learned the restraint OF self,

later Friendship was good deal
stirred up by the temperance of
Scott who settled down in his old
home as though nothing had happened,
and who even afterwards went by the
name OF Dead" Scott. One day
Dead" Scott fell into a dispute with
Jones, the blacksmith, while getting
his horse shod. The alteration grew
into a quarrel; the breach widened;
elimination and recrimination fol
lowed and each puzzled his wits to say
or do something to iniure his oppo
nent. Finally the blacksmith capped
the climax OF belhgerent ingenuity by
making out and formally serving
Dead Scott with a bill for seventy
five cents for services rendered in sing
ing at his funerall Scott paid the bill.

Gups Sometimes Burst Easily.

from the Manufacturer and Builder.
In bravado a young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under the
water and fired the charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near
the breech, and the mutilatiOn of his
hand. Another placed and held the
muzzle of his gun square against a
piece of plate window glass and fired
the charge-powder and bullet. The
glass was shattered so was the gun
barrel. Another instance was that OF
an experimenter who had heard that
q candle could be fired from the barrel
of a gun through an inch board. He
drove a candle into the muzzle OF the
gun. fired, and the explosion spht the
barrel almost it's entire length, ana
did not even drive the candle from the
muzzle. Still another burst OF a gun
barrel was caused by the use OF wet
GRASS as a wad, well rammed down
over n charge OF shot. But perhaps
one of the most singular exhibitions
in this line was a Colts navy revolver
which some years ago was sent to the
factory in Hartford, Conn. This
was before the adoption OF these pis-
tolls to the metallic cartridges, ana 1t
is probable that in loading with open
powder and ball only a small amount
of powder got into the chamber, and
the bullet was not propelled with suttl-
Gent force to drive it from the muzzie;
at least the bullet did not 90 out, but
lodged. As the shooter did not know
whether the bullet escaped or not, he
kept on firing until the barrel burst or
buioed. and when it was sawed IN two

teen bullets wedged one into the, oth-
er, and so much upset" by the ham.

A Hint About Feeding Pigs.

The National Live Stock Journal,
speaking OF feeding pigs on pasture and
on grain, says that small pigs should
not be fed wholly upon corn. 1t is
much better to feed two bushels of
oats with one of corn, or, better still.
to feed oats and middlings. The
young pig should develop its muscles
and frame, and not lay on much fat.
After the pig has stretched out its
body all summer, then put on the fat
and you have a finished animal. In
fact, when grain is properly fed on
pasture, pigs will begin to lay on fat
as soon as the frame is sufficiently
grown, and they are often in good con
dition for market in the fall when
taken directly from the pasture. An
other point often overlooked is that
the pork of animals raised in this way,
with mixed food, is far better and
more wholesome than that from hogs
shut up in pens or small yards and fed
wholly upon corn.

The Hog House.

Says a writer in the Western Rural
A little forethought in building hog
house will save many steps and much
heavy lifting. Eight or ten feet added
to the height, adds very little to the
expense of the building, and is OF in
calculable value. Mine has the gables
east and west and has two sliding
doors on the south side, one above
and one below.
On the north side are small doors
Just allowing the passage of the hogs
into the little yard adjoining. The
front side of each pen is movable. A
piece of scantling smoothly turned at
the ends is fitted loosely into the posts
that support the partitions. This ar
rangement lets the whole front OF the
pen swing. Studding is set so that it
cannot be pushed forward from the in
side. The troughs extend the whole
length just inside this movable parti-
ton.
The swill barrel stands in the hall
way with q tin pail for dipping it's
contents into the troughs. How east

ing open the upper doors. This ans
wers the double purpose of ventilat-
ing the pens and furnishing free cir

wagon IN the fall, but the arrangement
suits me, on the whole, as well as any

Farm LabOrers,

Late in the winter it was suggested
that the farmers in the section of the
country contiguous to Chicago could
furnish employment to a great many,
and arrangements were made by which
number of men could be sent to the
country and given work. But in all
the vast number of men who came to
the bureau OF employment for work,
only very small portion were willing
to go to the country. They protested
to be willing to do anything that
would earn them an honest living if
they could remain in the city, but 90
to the country they would not. They
preferred comparative starvation in
Chicago to comparative plenty in the
rural districts, and so the well-intended
efforts of the bureau were in many in
stances rendered profitless by the very
men whom they were we're ready and
