ADJUSTMENTS.
The Twelfth Nfght.

Miss Julia Marlowe's first appearance before Waterbury audience last even ing was an suspicious one. Her play. Twelfth Night" is one of Shakespeare's prettieSt comedies and allows of great possibilities. The keenly critical audience was prepared for something of a sur prise. It was expected that Miss Mar lowe would display hidden talent that needed only time to bring out, but any thing brilliant was hardly hoped for, The surprise, therefore, was all the greater. From the lady's first appearance she won the hearts of all Her every move betokened careful train ing, intelligent study and the soul of a born artist. She had her faults, but who can tell what they were. Perhaps in her love passages she might improve; she was tender but hardly passionate. To the average critic she was almost perfect. Of the company it is hard to say good word for one without mentioning all. A more evenly balanced and excellent com pany has never visited Waterbury, Charles Barron as Malvolio; Mary Shaw as Olivia; Emma Hinckley as Maria; Will liam F. Owen as Sir Toby; F. J. Currier as Sir Andrew and Robert Tabor as Orceino, could hardly be improved upon.

Prizes for the Canvassers.

The ReyJ. A. Mulcahy at the open ing of the recent successful fair for the benefit of the church of the Immaculate Conception determined to give prizes to some of the canvassers. After an ex- animation of the books, those appearing as leading among the workers are Mrs John Shanley. Mrs Patrick German, Miss Julia Butler and Miss Mary Costenbader and the prizes will be distributed in that order the prizes to be awarded are for the first and second, gold rings; for the third pair of opera glasses, and for the fourth an ivory cross, silver mounted. It is probable, though Father MuacaAy would not say anything definite on the subject, that all the can vassers will be given supper within 2 few weeks. To the faithful work of the canvassers and of the ladies of the re- freshment table is really due much of the success of the fair.

Mr Seymour win Contest.

The Hon E. w. Seymour, of Litchfield has addressed a letter to the Hon Fred erick Miles of Salisbury, his opponent in the Fourth district congressional cleo tion. notifying him that he intends to contest his seat in the next congress. NIT Seymour explains in his letter that there is good warrant for believing that there was an error in the count to the vote in Westport sufficient to change the result of the election. and that So strongis this belief among the people of Westport that he regards it as proper to contest the seat as the only legal method of deter mining the facts. He regards it as just to both MT Miles and himself that there should be some official finding as to whether the alleged error does or does not exist. The letter was forwarded to Mir Miles within few days.

THE yyoNDERFUL FLEA.
His Eyes Multiply Objects Thousand Times
Nobody KNOWS How He Breathes.

NODOuy hGiOWS now he ISTeaIntS.
Let us put our flea under the microscope,
sars S. l.. Clayes, in the Swiss Cross 1t seems
to be clothed in o sort OF armor formed OF
brown, overlapping plates that are so exceed
ingly tough as to be almost indestructible. Its
head is small and very thin, and it has single
eye upon each side. The eye is black, and the
rays of light scintillate within it like
sparks OF fire. Pudget managed to look
through one of these eyes, and he found
that it diminished objects in size while
it multiplied them in number, a man appear
ing in an army of fairies and the flame of q
candle becoming thousand tiny stars. From
the shape of its head and for other reasons,
the flea is supposed TO use only one eye at o
time. The offensive weapon of the flea is
composed of two palpi, or teelers, two piercerS
and a tongue. When it feeds it stands erect,
thrusting this sucker into the flesh, and it
viii eat without intermiSsion until disturbed,
for il yoids as fast as it swallows its food. 1t
is interesting to put several inSa glass, and
giving them piece OF raw meat see them all
standing on their hind legs to suck up its
juices
Their manner of breathing is still undeter-
mined, Dut it is thought most probable that
they receive air into their bodies through small
holes at the end of the palpi.
The less of flea are marvels of strength
and elasticity. They are joined to the body by
long tondons that act like wire springs. In
making its leap, which, it is said, can cover
two hundred times its own length, the flea
draws the leg up close to the body and then
proceeds from the first joint alone, thefoslle rs
only increasing it by their stretch whites the
leap is being made.
fleas are possessed of grea' strength.
Mouffet tells of a mechanic who made gold
chain, as long his finger, that flea dragged
after him, and golden chariot which he
drew also. Bin9ley writes of matchmaker
in the Strand who had an ivory, four-wheeled
chase, with coachman on its box, drawn by
a flea. The same man afterward made a car
riage with six horses, a coachman, four per-
sons inside, two footmen behind, and a pos
tilion on one of the horses all of which was
drawn by single flea. Latriella mentions
flea which dragged silver cannon of twenty
four times its own weight, mounted on wheels,
and showed no fear when it was charged with
gunpowder and fred off. Rene say that he
three heas drawing a tiny omnibus;
that pair drew chariot, and that brass
cannon was dragged by single one.
There are several varieties of feas, but they
are so much alike that their differences are
interesting only to scientific people. The cat
flea will do rs we'll as any to show us the pro-
cess of breeding During the spring and sum-
fur of the cat; but in the autumn and winter
She CLUES each firmly upon hair. These eggs
are so small as TO be barely visible to the
