If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that "a cat
brings good luck the voyag of the
British steamship Thalia will be q
pleasant one. A fine large Maltese cat
went aboard the vessel the day before
she sailed and composedly curled up
on the heavily upholstered crimson
sofa in the officers saloon, and when
the vessel sailed she was a c~ontented
passenger.
She is an old traveller" said the
steward, as he stroked her soft fur,
land this is not her first voyage. Cats
ike a change, and they will visit first
ono vessel and then another in port
until they find one that suits them
and they are a knowing animal, and
seem TO have some intuition when q
vessel is going to sail. Do l think a
eat brings luck7 Oh, yes. It's good
LUCK to have a cat come to you. Why,
that's not a superstition of sailors
alone. Did you ever see a land lubber
that didn't bolieve it1 That cat will
have the best treatment on board; be-
sides, there's no end to the rats on
board, and the cat will be useful as
well as lucky TO us. Savannah News.

Few people appear to be aware,

tooth can be extracted, cleaned and
restored to its socket, and become
again a useful and natural instrument.
One Liverpool dentist, ut least, is in
the habit of doing such a thing; and
it appears to surprise most people. A
gentleman in a large shipping office
had a tooth taken out, cleaned and re.
stored some years ago, and it is at the
present time a good se%rviceable tooth.
This suggests the question as to the
possibility of extracting old teeth and

The Newtown Academy.

With this week Friday, the first term
at the academy comes to an end. We
desire to take this opportunity of bring
ing the exact condition of the academy
before the people of Newtown and vicin-
ity.
increased since the beginning of the
term. Without exception, they manifest
an interest in their studies. Their testi-
mony in regard to the fitness and ability
of the principal is of value as revealing
no allowed characterization in regard to
conduct on their part, nor idleness or
slackness in their studies, but testifying
to firm yet natural power of discipline
and an inspiration exerted by the princi-
pal upon every pupil under his charge.
The academy was opened in Septem-
Der under great disadvantages.
Last Spring, it had been prematurely
closed and the number of attending
scholars had dwindled away.
People were naturally hesitating at
the opening of the school year in Sep
TENDER, being somewhat suspicious of
the character of the school, this year and
of the kind of management to be eX-
pected.
The trustees believed that they had Sc
cured for the prncipalship man who
was thoroughly qualified by education
and personality and thoroughly adapted
by previous experience in educational
work to carry on the work of the acade-
my in Newtown with success.
Now the time has come when belief is
changed to positive knowledge. The
opinion of the trustees then has now
been proved to have been justified.
Prof Cliff has proved himself equal te
and above what was hoped for. We
count ourselves fortunate in having Sc
cured his services. The time is ripe
therefore, for the people to rally to hi:
support. This is a crisis in the history
of the Newtown academy.
If Prof Cliff does not receive the
hearty support of the public now, W.
fear that no one else can reasonably ev
! er expect it.
There are two or three dozen boys ant
girls of suitable age in this town who's
parents owe it to the town and to thei
children especially to patronize the acad
envy.
A good education is one of the great
est boons that parents can confer upol
their children.
+. Here is local institution which is re
ceiving the partial support of our cit
zens.
| With the opening Of this second term
next Monday, may it not receive a NOR
general support from our loyal citizens
This second term, beginning Decem
Der s, will continue II weeks, with an il
terval of two weeks vacation during tn
holidays.
There ought to be considerable il
crease in the number Of pupils at TIL
time. Parents, fathers and mothers, her
J is your academy. Will you stand by it?

p. W. Nissan of Bridgeport, who has
bought the Theophilus Nichols place in
the Street, was in town, Monday, and de-
cided to tear down the old house at once
and put up new and larger one Of mod
ern design and convenience, which will
be great addition to the locality. The
new house will stand on nearly the same
west and south lines as the present, but
will extend south and east, giving con-
siderable more room. Mr. Nissan was

said that SO substantially built house
was almost too good to be torn down.

of the foundation layers as soon as pos
sible. Mr. Nissan wishes to occupy his
new house, next Summer.
