YALE NOTES.

The LaWrance DOrmitOry-No Junior
 Crew ThIs Spring Probably.
 Notwithstanding the general desire among the students that there should be open fire places in the new Lawrance dormitory, the committee have decided to use steam alone for heating purposes. There will be water on each floor as in Farnam and Durfee and the gas and plumbing arrangements will be modelled upon those in them.
 The Albany Troy Alumni association has elected the following officers: President, Judge William L. Learned Al; secretary, Henry J. Ten Eyck '79; executive com nit tee, Rev. Walton Battershall '64, Colo nel Francis N. Mann TO, John T. Perry '73, Alpheus T. Buckley '75, and Rev. Arthur H. Allen '73. The association now has about fifty members.
 To the list of literary productions printed in Sundays Register might properly be added Mr Tighe's ''traets" on the Roman religion and the history of the Latin language.
 The junior class has decided not to enter a crew in the spring regatta unless Captain Cowles would allow the five 'S7 men who are training for the university to row in the race, since without them they would have but three of their regular crew in the boat. This he will be unable to allow if the uni versity, as now expected, rows in the race itself.
 According to Dr. Seaver's measurements the heaviest man in the freshman class weighs 209 pounds and the lightest ninety.

His New ShOea.

The old leather man, who passed through Forestville two days behind time, said in an- swer to inquiry where he had been, ''Shoes! shoes! shoes!" and holding up his foot show ed a new pair which he had been making. The soles were of spruce wood about three fourths of an inch thick, tapped with leather, the uppers being fastened to the soles with bright Mo- 15 wire staples about half an inch in length, showing like a stitch. His face and neck were red as if frost bitten and pealing nearly all over the surface exposed. He was inclined to be more talkative than usual, but was disturbed by the school chill dren who had been let out early to see him. He opened his coat to show that he had on a woolen shirt in response to questions and re- ceived a good supply of flannel shirts and stockings. He seemed to understand what was said to him and ate heartily of food which given him.

Hard MOneY hid It.

One of our Naugatuck lawyers who was in New Haven Friday was consulted by 8 client who explained that he had bargained for some real estate and had paid $40 on ac- count, but had taken no receipt. He said he had been to the parties that day and had rendered them the money, but they refused to give him a deed. "Let me see your money" said the lawyer. So the man pulled roll of money from his pocket which amounted to $360 and was in national bank notes. ''Take that to the nearest bank, :" said the lawyer, land get 360 silver dollars for it." ''What good will that dos" said the man. "You get the silver," said the lawyer, land come back to me-" So the man went and soon came back with the sil- yer in bag across his shoulder. s'Now.n D said the lawyer, ''take this silver and 90 and empty it on the mans table and tell him you want your deed, and if he does not give it, come back to me-" Later in the day he met the man again, who called out to him:
 ''They came down! they came down! I've got the deedl The hard money fetched
 'eml" The lawyer thinks that in this in stance at least hard money was better than

AMERICAN THEATER.

The large audience present at this house last evening came away enthusiastic over the entertainment presented. Where there was not a weak feature in the bill-and this is said without reservation-it is hard to single out excellencies, but the fine singing of Miss Helen Courtland might be regarded the bright particular gem in the brilliant galaxy of features that made up the entertainment. It was her first appearance here in three years and she made an impression that will give lasting place in the favor of all who visit the American. Mile. Lottie's startling trapeze acts and her thrill ing slide for life won her round after round of applause, while the Burke Brothers in their eccentric glove contest kept the house in broad grin. Larry Toole and John D. Griffin made big hit in their funny after piece, 'Election Day." and it was thor oughly pleased audience that went away laughing over the ludicrous situations of the piece. If large audiences are not the rule this week it will certainly not be for want of attractions to draw them, for every feature on the bill is in itself strong attraction.

CIDER BRANDY DISTILL FRIES. The Production In Connecticut-The
 Rig Apple Crop Of The State In
 1885.
 There are eighty-three cider-brandy di still leries in Connecticut. The producing months principally are from October to January in- elusive. The production in these months, esti- mating the product of last month, was as fol- lows:
 HoFe1Ioer aO,oO eooLiS 1cceiiioeI ~o,oa0 Sooao
 In May, June and July the stills are usual ly put to work again to dispose of the cider made from the hold-over apples, and the es- timated production is 30, ,00O gallons of brandy making total for the year of 90, 470 gal Ions.
 It requires ten gallons of cider to make one gallon of brandy, and one bushel of ap- pies will make three gallons of cider. The figures show that 9O4, TOO gallons of cider went into the stills, and this quantity of cider used up 3O1 ,566 bushels of apples. Of course this represents only fractional part of the apple crop of the whole State. If the stills are allowed the consumption of 20 per cent. of the whole crop, the entire apple crop of the State would yield 1,5O7, $50 bushels.
