Pitcher Plants.

The pitcher plant is the most curious of our New England wild flowers. It's trumpet or pitcher shaped leaves, singu- lar flower and umbrella shaped style
 combine to make 1t an object of interest both to the botanist and casual observer. The pitcher plant family (Sarracenia- cem) consists of one plant in the noun tains of Guiana; another, Darlingtonia Californica, in California, and six species
 in the Eastern United States. This Sum
 mer, accidentally found the only North ern species, Sarracenia purpurea of bogs,
 named by Tournefort in honor of Dr Sar- razin, who first sent the plant and bo- tanlcal account of it to Europe. Its large rosc-purplc flower rises on stalk about IS inches from the ground. The sepals look as if formed of wax. The petals arc shaped like flddles, while the green umbrella shaped style fits in the center of the flower, with its five rays terminating in hooked stigmas. The pitcher-shaped leaves, greenish yellow with purple veins, arc partially filled with water containing dead insects. They have broad wing and a hood lined with brIstles on which the flies are caught. A
 variety of thIs has greenish-yellow flow- ers md no purple veins in the foliage. The resl-iIowered Trumpet Leaf {Sarra- renia rubra), with it's slender trumpet shapcd leaves, one foot long, erect point od hood and crimson purple flower Is 2

 There's a great difference in lamp-chimneys depends on the glass. One pops when ever anything happens, some times when nothing happens. Another almost never breaks. Indeed the makers give a new chimney for every one that breaks in use.
 Lamp-chimneys arc like segars-they cost so little apiece and so much by the year. the breaking kind. The other sort is like the measles once is enough.
 Can you tell them apart ]? The unbreakable chimney has a "pearl-top.' ma The mak- CTS, Macbeth L & Go, Pitts burgh, want the people to know about this unbreakable glass; they send a primel about 1t.

SEEKING FUNDS FROM AN OLD REQUEST.
 Judge Thomas E. Butler of Norwalk, who died some l6 years ago, left $3000 to be applied for the benefit of the Fair field County law library. II. T. Blake of New Haven, A. B. Woodward of Nor walk, William K. Seeley of Bridgeport were appointed trustees. The estate was large and considerable time was required to settle it, the trustees claiming that the will provides simply the income of the bequest shall be applied to the law li- brary and that the principal may not be touched. The will, however, says: .
 'I give my law library to Asa B. Woodward of Norwalk, William K. Seeley of Bridgeport and Henry T. Blake of New Haven, in trust for the use of the bar of Fairfield county, also the sum of sl0O0, to be expended by them in adding to and fitting up the same. Codicil-' give to Messrs Woodward, Blake and Seeley, to whom gave my law library in trust for the use and benefit of the bar of Fairfield county and in like trust the further sum of S20O0."
 Now that a fine law library room is provided in the new court house, the bar committee, Messrs Thompson, Wheeler and Brewster, feel that they should have the use of the bequest. MT Blake re- signed his trusteeship some five years ago and has again resigned within a year. As Mir Woodward really does nothing about the matter, MT Seeley remains in charge of the funds. The library was properly turned over to the county, but the funds were withheld, under differ ent interpretation. Cards were sent by the committee to every lawyer in the county, asking an opinion on that clause of Judge Buffers will. Without except ion, the replies said that the money was intended to purchase books. The bar committee has consequently filed a petit ion with the judge of probate for Nor walk, asking that the trustees may be removed or that the money may be de- voted to it's legitimate use. No time has as yet been fixed for the hearing on the petition. If the money can be obtained and devoted to this use, it will give Fair field county one of the best law libraries in the State.

The Teeth of Children.

It is not generally known that up.
on tue care taken of the child's teeth
the permanent teeth depend. These
baby teeth are usually thought OF
very lightly. and only The few wise
mothers are careful about preserving
and keeping them un,il their proper
time for falling out. As soon as &
cbild's teeth begin to show signs Of
decay, it should be taken to thor.
oughly Trustworthy dentist, and if
the tooth can be saved till its proper
time for failing out il should be fill-
ed. At the child's sixth year the per.
manent teeth begin to appear, al. ii
four large molars push through the
gums back Of the temporary teeth.
These teelf arc great drain upon the
strength OF a delicate child, and often
begin to decay early. This decay
should be arrested by some temper >
airy filling. and when the child 10 old
er can be replaced with gold or some .
thing else permanent. Mothers Of
ten allow their children's molar teeth
to decay under The impression that
tuey hle temporary. Ihe temporary
teeth should drop out of the mouth
naturally. perfectly sound. 1t is
not natural for them to decay, as
some suppose. but this decay 10 aus.

cause. A cool home made tooth
powder is composed OF puIyerizcd

root. A few drops of tincture of
myrrh in tunbler of water makes

a nerve except as a last resort, be-
canse dead tooth does not last SO
