 Samples of the old hay and dung forks in Mir Peck's museum, like the huge names which the first Morris brought in to Newtown, show that the fathers aim ed more at strength and size than light ness and ease of handling. One of these forks was made by Boss Jennings, grand father of IIawley Jennings, ,~Nhose shop stood at the corner and is now a shed be- longing to the Jennings place. Here is d steel hoe with the stamp of Ives Glow CT, probably made when Mr Glover work ed at the shop at the head of the Street, now owned by NJ. J. Cavanagh. Like wise sheep shears used by Philo Bots ford, grandfather of Eugene Botsford, in the days when there were sheep enough in-town to require sheep master for their care. A cooper's adz, too, remind ing of forgotten industry when barrels were made at home, shingles rived out on the farm. Farming paid then, for lit tie was paid out, except by barter and the clothes the family wore, most of the tools they used and the food for family and stock was raised on the well titled fields. Now even fencing is bought at the store, while flour and, sometimes, potatoes have to be bought, not to speak of corn and oats. The comforts of life are vastly improved, to be sure, but it is done at an expense per month that would have bankrupted a farmer a century ago. Economy and industry were the key notes to New England's early wealth and no generation can be truly successful with out them.

In Memory of Edward P. Ryan.

Sweet faded flower, we would not ask thee
 stay,
 To droop and wither in a world like this, When purer spirits beckon thee away, To share with them a home of perfect bliss. And thou dost utter now a song of love, With kindred spirits, in the native skies; There is happier home in realms above, The Christians promised home-his richest
 prize. Fair flower, transplanted to genial cline, We would not win thee back to earth again; For oh, it's met that spirit, pure as thine = In that fair land beyond the reach of care or
 pain- Yet Nature weeps, oh yes the spirits flower Demands a tear and shall it not be given; We mourn n cherished friend and brother
 gone,
 An angel spirit summoned back tn Heaven.
 IA Friend.

Nine men out of ten lay out plans on too vast a scale; and they, ,who are com petent to do almost anything, do nothing, because they never make up their minds distinctly as to what they want, or what they intend to be. Hence, the mournful failures we see all around us in every walk of life.-[Dr William Matthews.

By and By.

Down the stream where the tide is clearer, Farther on where the shores are fair, Are the gracious forms we would fain le
 nearer,
 The names we speak in the voice of prayer. Be the voyage long, they will be the dearer, When after while we shall greet them there, Farther on where the tide is clearer, kDown the stream where the shores are fair. By and by when the sun is shining, After while when the skies are clear, When the cloud unfolds its silver lining And shores of the peaceful isles draw near, We shall free our tongues from their dull re-
 pining
 And fill our hearts with the words of cheer After while when the sun is shining, By and by when the skies are clear.

WORK ON PUTNAM MEMORIAL PARK TO
 STOP.

SIoP.
 Although Senator Bartram was anx- ious to continue work on Putnam Me morial park, the commission in charge voted, last week, to close work on or be- fore the 23d, claiming that it was not possible to work to advantage on wet, cold days, when salaries of SIP day for the superintendent, 80 for the foreman, $2 90 each for his two assistants. not to mention other expenses, were still going on. The commission also gave permis- sion, if Congress provides accordingly, to allow the removal of the remains of the poet, Joel Barlow, to his native coun- try and their burial at the park. The work done, this season, includes the heavier masonry and about half of the 'roadways. Putnam avenue, the main thoroughfare, is about a quarter of a mile long, running from the old Sherman pike through the north entrance and thence straight to the monument and on to the south entrance. The block houses at both entrances have been built; those at the south entrance being the larger, standing on granite bases eight feet high. There is steep grade to the monument from this entrance, the avenue being car ried over a stream by an arched bridge of solid masonry, the avenue having walks of cut granite. A dam of cut gran ite, with a gate house, has been built across one of the streams near the mon ument to form d lake. The east stone wall of the park, next the Sherman pike, is about finished, the grounds have been cleared of brush and several avenues started, to be finished next season. About sS000 of $2O,0O0 appropriated by the Legislature remains to be laid out. The north end of the old camp, including more ruined fireplaces, the Philip rock and cave, have been purchased and a drive will be built about the base of the rock. The park will have about mile and d half of drives. Hartford parties are said to be negotiating with Aaron TreadMell for 120 acres east of the park, on which To build Summer residences. A picnic grove is talked of in a maple DIICL SIosE SOubI oI lIie paEk, aS picnic parties will not be allowed to camp down inside the park. Of course relics have been constantly unearthed as the work has proceeded, like camp kettles, bullets, pewter spoons and building to hold them and other antiques, also q house for the future keeper of the park, will be built, next Spring. The park is made easily accessible by carriage by opening the old Sherman pike to Bethel and building a road to Redding, the State appropriation being drawn on to help each town build these roads.

SugarMorks Notes.


1t is now thought that the sugar out
put at this place will be in the neigh
borhood of 100000 pounds this season.
Two weeks more of uninterrupted
running will about clean no all the cane
fields that are now available. Consid-
cradle of the early cane could not be
used and the company did not use two
large fields it had planted, preferring to
take that raised by the farmers.
There is man here from Iowa who
claims that he has a patent covering the
diffusion process and he will make an
effort to make some money out of the
mills in Kansas that are using diffusion
cells. He has visited all the mills in the
state.
It appears almost certain now that a
dIabolical trick has been practiced on
the works here that has cost the compa-
ny thousands of dollars. 1t was noticed
that there was a great loss in juice, SUI
gar and molasses between the clarity
ing pans and the strike-pan; but the
leak could not be located. The chemist
was asked TO analyze some of the waste
water that was going through the OYER
flow ditch and he discovered per cent.
of sweetness that absolutely paralyzed
everybody concerned. Then it was that
a watch was set on the ditch and the
Yaryan evapOrator and, it is claimed. it
is now known that pure juice was de-
liberately turned into the ditch and in
large quantities, probably half of the
product from the diffusion battery. But
two objects could have been in view :
To make it appear that the mill was
handling the guaranteed tonnage and
that the Yaryan was doing its work, or
else some creature of the sugar trust
was hired to do the nefarlous work that
the sugar result would not be satisfac-
tory and others discouraged from enga-
ging III the sorghum sugar business in
Kansas. Detectives are sitting the mat
ter and revelations may be expected.
This paper will take great delight in
publishing the truth when it is known.
When Secretary Rusk was here, sew.
eral weeks ago, he gave Eldred & Hin
man permission to use any part of the
machinery that the government owned
at the Douglass sugar plant, in Butler
county. Last week they sent Superin-
tendent Harry Bancroft up there and
he loaded and shipped here the open
diffusion battery. 1t consists of twelve
cells and thirteen filters, perforated cells
fitting in large iron tanks. These FL
tiers will be filled with bone-black or
charcoal or some other similar sub
stance, and all the juice after passing
through the CHARTERS will go through a
perfect system of liberation. The new
arrangement will be put in position at
once. though it will not be regularly
used until next season.
