THOUGHTS BY CARMEN SILVA.

Jealousy in lover Is homage; in 8 husband an insult.
 Happiness is like the echo; it answers but does not come.
 Maternal love is an instinct; but there are instincts of divine origin.
 Forgiveness Is almost indifference; who really loves does not forgive.
 Seek consolation only in immortal things in nature and in thought.
 Friendship based solely upon gratitude is like photograph; in time 1t fades.
 A man in love Is like an ostrich; he thinks he is not because he does not see others.
 Friendship diminishes whom there Is too much happiness on the one side and too much misery on the other.
 There Is but one happiness-duty There Is but one consolation-work. There is but one delight-the beautiful.
 A woman does not become q mother she Is one from her birth. A numerous family satisfies her creation; it does not create 1t. S.
 Ahousehold without children is bell without clapper. The latent sound would be beautiful enough were there something to awaken 1t.
 Happiness when at distance appears so great as to touch the sky. When it enters our door 1t so dwindles that very often we no longer recognize it.

for this city. The DEMOCRAT held from the start that the conditions prevailing in Waterbury were entirely unfavorable to the uses of such a machine, and in this view we were sustained by at least one of the fire commissioners. It does not appear, however, that those who are now loudest in their criticism were con- vinced at that time that an aerial truck was not an entirely practicable and use ful adjunct of our very efficient fire de- partment. Perhaps, if the reasons for their present opposition were closely analysed, they might appear somewhat less disinterested than would appear on the surface. AS they were very stre- nuous in urging the need of an aerial truck it seems not little singular that they should be so hypercritical in regard to the one they have secured, which stood so well the severe test that was made of it last Tuesday evening.
 The board of fire commissioners did chine after having contracted with the company for its construction. To do otherwise would have been unwise and discreditable to the city. The deviation from the original contract, on which SC much stress has been laid by those who are trying to stir up opposition to the action of the board, has been to the ad. vantage of the city, and for this we should be very slow to find fault. Per
 haps, moreover, if the city should tire ot
 the luxury of an aerial truck. it would find it less difficult to dispose of the ma. chine in its present shape than if it were built strictly in accordance with the ed into between the city and the Preston company.

A Wreck of Revolutionary r,n.e..

In excavating to deepen n crock which Is to be used as q timber basin for new steam shingle mill, on tho Vale Royal tract, the timbers of large vessel have been partly exhumed. The end of tho keelson can be seen imbedded in the mud at one point, and about thirty feet from 1t well-preserved live-oak rib, with a part of the planking attached, was taken out.
 The land in this vicinity was reclaimed from the river, and there is tradition that 1t was at or near this point that the British, during tho siege of Savannah in 1779 by tho armies under Gems. D'Es- taing and Lincoln, 1lnk vessels across the river to prevent the French and American war vessels, which had passed around the western end of Hutchinson's Island, from enfllading the defenses of tho town. It Is not improbable that the old wreck. which Is now brought to light, Is ono of those sunk at that time, and has not been afoat during this century News.

THAT .ERIAL TRUCK.

There seems to be disposition in cer- tain quarters to find fault with those members of the fire board who voted on Tuesday night for the acceptance of the new aerial truck. Criticism of these officials is made on the singular ground that the company violated its contract by making the machine heavier. and consequently stronger and more service able, than the terms of its agreement called for. This is very singular criti- Gism, to say the least.
 It looks like very small business to find fault with the city getting the best end of bargain with an outside concern. An aerial truck is, and must be, from the very nature of its construction and the work it is intended to do, heavier than the ordinary truck, and any attempt to bring it under certain weight would be likely to result disastrously toi its ser viceability. If, therefore, the Preston company has made the truck built for this city somewhat heavier than the original contract called for, it was prob ably done with the purpose of making it absolutely secure in operation aud add ing to it's capacity for the service intend ed. Certainly it is not easy to see where the company has profited by making the machine heavier, and dconsequently more expensive to itself, than it might have done by adhering strictly to its contract terms. If there has been any loss in the deviation from the contract it would seem to fall on the Preston company rather than the city, and if the company finds no fault the city has certainly very little reason to do so. The only room for criticism in the matter seems to us to be the original idea that sug- gested the need of any aerial truck at al

How Mnry Killed the Benr.

A queer case of bear killing is reported from Sherwood, Calumet county, Wis. A young girl named Mary Skilosky. daughter of q prosperous farmer, saw a bear enter swamp near her fathers 8 house. and the men folks being ab- sent, and she fearing lest the bruin might pick up one or more of the young Polanders who resided near. de- termined to kill the animal. There was no gun in tho house. but there was 0 box of rough on rats. q quantity of which was deftly inserted In juicy piece of fresh pork and the bait thrown to his bearship, who. being hungry after hard winters fasting, ..immediately swallowed hook, bob and sinker. The result was disas- trous and speedy, and in few moments the bear keeled over aud the brave Mary proceeded to end his sufferings by deer thrust into his throat with a carving knife The dressed skin has beer bought by John Roberts.-Milwaukee sentinel.

DIR SCOTT A LITTLE PREVIOUS.
 President Harrison father-in-law, the Rev Dr John w. Scott, although eighty nine years of age, is d regular attendant at the general assembly. He IS not a commissioner, but when his tall, slightly bent figure is seen moving up the center aisle of the church, holding his gold headed umbrella, which he carries rain or shine, some of the younger doctors hurry and hunt up chair for him close to the moderator's desk. Dr Scott is a guest of Mrs Lord at 13 East Twenty second street. He was graduated in 1923 from the Washington and Jefferson college at Washington. Pa, of which he is the oldest living graduate. Ee was for time professor in the college, and he studied chemistry in Yale college under Professor Benjamin Silliman. At a dinner of the alumni at Clark's last week Dr Scott, who made an after P dinner speech after midnight, said he claimed to be the oldest living teacher in the United States.-New York Sun.
 Waterbury sends greeting to Dr Scott on his great age and long service as a teacher, but gently reminds him that not yet can he claim the distinction of being the oldest living teacher in the country. We have a venerable gentleman in our midst whose students are scattered in every quarter of the land and of whom not one of them thinks but with feelings of the deepest love and veneration. We refer to MT John E. Lowell, who is now in his ninety-tifth year and who up to fifteen years ago. when he became a resi- dent of the Brass city, had spent his life in teaching the young idea how to shoo We are assured by MT Lovells friends that nothing but failing eyesight could have induced him to surrender his labor of love even when he had come to be an ecsogenarian, and his recent visit to New Haven to receive honor at the hands of his former pupils is proof of their claim that, so far as general health and the strength of his faculties are concerned, he has not yet passed the bounds of ability to do teachers work. MT Low oil is truly a wonderful old man, and while he is spared to his friends and those who rode the yellow pony" Dr Scott must yield to him the distinction of being the oldest living teacher.
 May the aged instructor long be spared to us and Waterbury enjoy the proud fame of having within her limits one whose name and honor have gone into all parts of the United States aud to many distant lands besides.
