He was born in Wales in 1929, studied at Monson academy, graduated at Union col lege, and later went to the Harvard law school. In 1854 he began practice in New York, where he was prominent and suc- cessful lawyer. Three children, two sons and daughter, survive him. He had al ways passed his summers in Wales, and had done much to improve and beautify that town.

 The farmers picnic at Evergreen Park, Aug. 18th, passed off very nicely, between four and five hundred being pres ent during the day, some three hundred sitting down to the general table, beside numel ous parties that had basket pic nics in other parts of the grove. There were representatives from New York, New Lon- don, Springfield, Union, Ellington, Somers, Hampden, Stafford, Monson, and from h. diana, the latter state being represented by William Blodgett, former Stafford boy, the youngest son of our old long ago physician, Dr. Joshua Blodgett.

& Nuuaau's Gift.

1t is, indeed, a fitting thing that the
woman who is enriched through rev
enue based on a Pittsburgh rent roll,
should bestow upon this city aprincely
gift in the form Of a park. The gift
made by Mrs. Schculey isa graceful
as well Us a noble one, destined to en-
shrine her memory most fo~licitously
throughout the years To come. Pitts
burg's greatest need is met by woman,
and Schenley park will be, for sue.
ceeding generations, a monument to
her memory. The locality seems TO
meet all the requirements and will
give to Pittsburgers q breathing place
second to none, when art shall have
fully aided nature IN developing the
possibilities Of the tract. The pur-
chase of the additional 300 acres. at
the reasonable price named by Mrs.
Schenlcy, must surely come to pass If
this city and lis people desire TO en-
brace a golden opportunity. Pittsburg
is no longer 10 be a parkless city, and
she owes her new found privilege to a

Food for Other Fish.

l am frequently twittcd by my
friends about the seeming failure Of
the government and various states TO
popularize the German carp as a food
Dish. They say millions have been
put into the ponds and lakes Of tho
country, but no u has ever met a
man who has eaten a carp. The fact
Of the matter is that our people do not
eat them directly, but the croppie,
bass, jack salmon and other llne fish
Of this country do. They are raven
ously devoured by the game fish, and
serve a good purpose in this way,
amply rcpaying the expense the gov
eminent is put TO in stocking the
waters of the south and west with
them. 1t is a necessity TO furnish the
game fish with good food, and there is
nothing better for the purpose than

rhe Power of Red.

Red was considered very potent in
warding off the evil eye. In a time Of
trouble, when the evil eye was especi
ally triumphant. all the red tape in a
certain county OF England was bought
TO ward of its baleful influence. The
remains of this superstition still pre-
vail, for many people believe that a
red string around the neck is an ex-
cellent remedy for asthma, measles
and mumps.
The preservation OF faith in red still
exists, as is shown in the great conf.
dence which obtains in tie medical
virtues of red flannel and the belief
that the milk of the red COW is better
than that of another color. The Ger
man peasant, if he cuts himself,
thinks he shameless the blood better
with a red ribbon. This may be &C.
counted for not only because of ira
dition, but the fact that blood would
not form SO startling a contrast when
wetting a red ribbon as when wetting
a white one.-Chicago Herald

THE MAN OF MUSCLE.

The Standing OF the College Athlete
Among His Fellows.
The athlete in o recitation is very
amusing. When he enters some admirer
usually whispers to his conhdant:
Look at him, isn't he dandy?" The
athlete always looks too large for lis
chair in the classroom. You wonder
why 1t does not break down. The book,
too. seems all out Of place in his big
hands, and q pencil looks positively
funny as he handles 1t. He wears an
air OF patronage, as II intellectual pur-
suits were well in their way, and q
thing to be encouraged, even interest
ing on occasions, but just little un-
worthy a man Of muscle.
He likes to stretch out his big limbs
and watch them in repose, knowing
how much they can do when occasion
requires. The professor even defers
to him . little unable to refuse mis-
instructive homage to power, even
though 1t be physical. When he strolls
across the yard men look out Of their
windows after him. He is pointed out
TO the young lady visitors, and the fair
creatures look with awe upon the god
like being whom they have seen bat
ting In mud and gore for the honor Of
Harvard in superhuman fashion.
The athlete during bis season Of
activity does not study much. He has
70 reserve his energies for physical eff
fort he can neither smoke nor drink.
About all that is left him is 70 talk
