Fred Leach, of Ansonia, has some fine
poultry, and he believes in feeding them
as regularly as he eats his own meals.
He is unable to be at home at night 10
fore the chickens go to roost. and in
order that they may be fed without fail
he has rugged up an apparatus which
works like charm. The usual quantity
of corn is placed in a tin can, which Il
suspended from a string and weighted.
An alarm clock in the outer coop releases
the string at a certain hour, the can
turns bottom side up and the corn is
scattered. There are four coops and
each has its can, all working at the same
time.-New Haven Palladium.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
A Curious Theory Presented by q Clergy
man in Ireland.


man in Ireland.
Rev. J. S. Vaughan discusses in the
Dublin Review curious question in re-
ligion. His theory is that the resurrec-
ton of the body solves the problem of
the final destiny OF the earth, and he
bases it on "the teaching of sound theo-
logians" and the accepted truths of
science" In brief, it is that when the
archangel sounds the last trump and
summons the dead to arise from their
graves and come to judgment the whole
of this planet will vanish with them,
for their bodies will comprise all the
matter of which it is composed.
This novel position is based on sta
tistics and science and is defended with
the exactness of mathematical calcula.
tions, He notes the tendency of sci.
ence to reduce substances heretofore re.
garded as elementary, and argues that
in the end only one universal elemental
substance will be recognized Next he
refers to "the scientific fact that the
absolute amount of matter, or, in other
words, the sum total of all that exists
in the material universe, is ever con-
slant quantity" Nothing new, he ar
CUES, is created except human souls,
and they are put in earthly taber.
nacles kneaded together from existing
matter" and subject to the laws of mat
ter.
| He makes these remarkable deduc-
tions from the facts already given. The
weight of the earth Is 5000, 900, 900, 0OO,.
600, oOo 600 tons, The population of the
earth in the year 5000 will be $40, 0OO,.
600, 900, O0O,0 Unless every one Of
these people returned his body TO the
earth, he remarks, "there would be d
steady and inconvenient diminution Of
It's bulk" As the dead multiply the
entirety of existing matter will be abb
sorbed by their bodies, Hence the con.
clusion that the earth must disappear
with the dead, (which every soul OF
man that has ever lived, from Adam to
the final crack of doom, has claimed his
body" says Mr. Vaughan, twill there be
any thing at all left Of the present little
orb on which we dwell?" His answer
is that nothing-absolutely nethihg-f
will remain' ~. ,
MIR Vaughan thinks he can even com.
pute the day of judgment 1t will
come, he says, when so many persons
shall have lived from the beginning
that, on reelaiming their bodies, the
whole substance of the earth will be
utilized in meeting the demand"

MANS TENDENCY UPWARD.
The Growth of Civilization Under Most
NnfaFdfahla Cnnhitlons,

The Growth of Civilization Under Most
untafdfable Conditions.
Nothing is more evident from history
than the fact that weaker bodies Of
men driven cut BY stronger do not nee
essarily relapse into barbarism, but
frequently rise, even under the most
unfavorable circumstances, to a civil
ization equal or superior to that from
which they have been banished. Out of
very many examples showing this law
of upward development, few may be
taken as typical. The Slavs, who sank
SD low under the pressure of stronger
races that they apparently gave tho
modern world new word to express
the most hopeless servitude, have de-
veloped powerful civilizations peculiar
10 themselves; the barbarian tribes
who, ages ago took refuge amid the
sand-banks and morasses of Holland,
have developed one of the worlds lead
ing centers of civilization; the wretched
peasants who about the fifth century
among the lagoons and mud-banks Of
Nenetla developed a power In art, arms
and politics which is among the Won
ders of human history; the Puritans,
driven from the civilization of Great
Britain to the unfavorable climate, soil
and circumstances of early New En-.
gland; the Huguenots, driven from
France, country admirably fitted for
the highest growth of civilization, to
various countries far less fitted for such
growth; the Irish peasantry, driven in
vast numbers from their own island to
other parts of the world. on the whole
less fitted to them-all are proofs that,
as a rule, bodies of men once enlight-
ened, when driven to unfavorable cli-
mates and brought under the most de-
pressing circumstances, not only retain
what enlightenment they have, but go
on increasing it.-Andrew q, White. in
Popular Science Monthly.

couRrsHlP IN HollAlin


Thackeray explained the prejudic. Of
ladies against tobacco as being due to
the superior claims Of the latter on the
affections of young men. Yet tho great
novelist could not but have known that
in many countries tobacco plays very
important part as preliminary to court
ship and the closer union Of the sexes.
In certain parts of Holland when
young man thinks he has found his af'
finity it is customary for him to call for
a match to light his cigar at the door OF
his loved ones house. This little sub
terfuge is intended to arouse the pa
rents of the girl to the fact that some.
thing Is in the wind. If second call
with similar object is made soon after,
no doubt is left Of the young mans in.
tentions, and the parents proceed to in.
vestigate the young mans character and
antecedents, with view Of ascertaining
his eligibility as member of the family
When he calls the third time, always
for match to light his cigar, they are
prepared to give him an answer. If his
suit is regarded with favor he is politely
requested to step inside for the first
time, and is served with light. If he
is not accepted he is refused light,
and the door is shut in HIS face without
further ceremony. But, having pre-
pared for this contingency, the down.
cast sutton will in all probability light
his weed with match from his own
box and walk away musing on the tran.
STORY nature Of all earthly things
When the accepted sutton is invited
to enter the house, he, as a matter Of
course, informs the parents which OF
their daughters has captivated his fancy.
When this is settled the young woman
steps forward and they join hands.
While the engagement is by no means
considered settled fact even at this
important stage, yet it is stated as a
truth that when, on the occasion of the
young mans third visit, his inamorata
has offered him a second cigar, which he
has smoked in the house, the engage.
ment has never been cancelled.

through the tower roof to the bearings
prepared for 1t. He looked down at the
motionless Mr.. Giles, and waved his
hand exultantly. Was 1t only imagina-
ton that caused Mr.. Giles to think that
the crane was vibrating, or waS it actu-
ally moving? He thought he saw it
leaning toward the church, and Mr..
Parker appeared to be using all his
strength to stay 1t. 1t was not magma
ton. The crane was topping and being
dragged by the weight of the bell
What was Mr.. Parker's strength as COM
pared with the gravity of that mass Of
brass? Nothing. The fastenings once
loosened, hundred men could not have
held it. 1t must so. Mr.. Giles saw this,
and cried out with alarm. The men below
jumped from under, and the ponderous
bell and rope ana crane swung partly
around, with Mr.. Parker still clinging
on. He loosened his hold, but too late.
He had been dragged beyond his bal
ance, and conscious man went down
with senseless metal. Not onto the
ground, but onto and through the church
roof
The men rushed inside of the church,
and the cry of fire" was raised. They
hurried for water The bell had struck
the stove, crushing it to the ground,
and scattered it's Goals, which had
lighted the surrounding wood and soon
filled the church with fame and smoke.
Water came too late. The church was
doomed, and the men could do nothing
but stand by and watch the devouring
flames destroy their house of worship,
and leave nothing standing save few
jagged pieces of wall.
81 told you so; | told you So" said
Mr.. Giles. Poor Parker, he wouldn't
believe me, and now where is he? Dead!
destroyed, all on account of that accursed
bell, which | knew could never bring
aught but evil"
When the fire subsidized Mr.. Parker's
burned bones were found beside the
bell, which was cracked from rim to
top, and lay on its side deeply sunk into
the ground. Not man was found who
would touch it, and there it was left
amid the ruins of ST. Agnes, and there
it lies to this day on the ground that il
cursed, and which it has made place
to be avoided, especially after night

eREAp.RAkER TO THE KING.

When was very small indeed,
And even younger than my slz,,
went OUT walking by myself,
To gather facts to make me wise
came unto bakers shop,
Where beheld the strangest thingi
A great gold sign whereon read
''The Chief Bread-Baker to the King"
Invent within and asked the man,
In all respect: "Can this be truef
Dacs sssr any King eat bread,
The same as all the poor folk DOR
The baker was fowery man,
AS most men are who talk and bake;
And said: 1T is Fallacy
To judge that Kings consume but cake.
sNot only does the King eat bread,
But history states, and does not cheat,
There have existed certain Kings
Full glad to have some bread to eatp
And while stood a-wondering
Whatever JdlLdey might mean,
Behold saw another sign
Wherein was: "Hatter to the Queen"
sought the halter mid his plumes
(Not knowing he was mad thereat,)
And asked: ''Can it be really true
That any Queen puts on hat~
The halter said Indignantly:
1T is an error fit for clowns,
To think that Queens array their heads
Exclusively in golden crowns,
"Indeed there have existed queens,
AS in the chronicles It is said,
Not only glad to have hat,
But still more glad to have headl"
A sadder and wiser child
hied me home to think Of things:
Itseems SO strange that Queens wear hat
And bread is good enough for Kingsi

Miss Fannie Gary, a young and

with an heroic vein running through it.
Mary Anderson worked In the shop re

of the hard work and long hours Of the

tailor will not let me leave unless find
some one to take my place, and | can't

Miss Gary promptly met the case.
"You 60" she replied, "and l will
take your place."
Miss Anderson went to the country
and Miss Gary went to the tailor shop,
For tive weeks she left her pleasant
home every morning at six o'clock, clad
in neat, plain black dress, and found
her Way tc the shop. She stitched all
day long at the coarse cloth, reaching
her home again at seven o'clock in the
evening. 1t was not until Miss Ander.
son returned from her summer vacation
that it was whispered about that the
daughter of Judge Gary had been work
ing for two weeks in Division street
tailor's shop.

not, perhaps, rank in the estimation Of
