Missionary Trials In India.

Among the hardest things TO get used
TO in India are the scorpions. They in
fest everything, and one gets as used 10
turning out ones shoes in the morning
as TO waking up. In calling on one Of
my colaborers shortly after my arrival
in India. spoke Of the scorpion nuisance.
and he casually remarked. "Well, yes.
suppose you think SO; but you viii get
used TO them. killed thirty this morn
ing, and thought it poor morning for
scorpions, too"
Snakes are pretty bad, too. and it's
not SO easy 10 get used to them Cobras
have a lingering tenderness for ones
bathroom. The reason is natural. Few
things are cool in India, and the bath
room is about the coolest place in the
house. l very nearly stepped on one
coiled up in my bathroom one morning.
II darted into hole near by and part OF
its tail stuck out. / offered one of the
natives about the house four annas 10
pull it. He took the money and not only
pulled the snake out and killed it, but,
as | afterward learned, took it homo with
him and made a curry of it.
The scorpions were anroyances IN
church, and yells from the congregation
on being bitten by them were infre-
ouent interruptions.

This expression arose thus: On the 18th
of December, 1910, the abbey church Of
St. Peter, Westminster. was advanced TO
the dignity OF a cathedral by letters pat
ent; but ten years later it was joined 10
the diocese of London again, and many
of its estates appropriated to the repairs
of st. Pauls cathedral. One hundred
years later, in 1910. we find in "Outland-
ish Proverbs" selected by Mr.. George
Herbert, priest and poet Of classic re-
nown, the subject of one of Walton's
Lives, the proverb altered and set forth
AS follows "Give not st. Peter SO much,
to leave St. Paul nothing" This proverb
is quoted by Francis Rabelais early in
the Sixteenth century. Upon the death
of William Pitt, earl Of Chatham, In
177s, each of the metropolitan cemeteries
laid claim TO the honor Of burial. The
city Of London argued that so great a
statesman as William Pitt should be
buried in St. Paurs, while parliament
took the ground that the dust of so great
a man as he should come near TO the
dust Of kings, and that not to bury him
In Westminster abbey would again be
''robbing ST. Peter to pay st. Paul

The autographs appended to this remon- strance indicate the rough and horny hands of the signers. Esquire Barnes was chosen as their agent to appear for them, but with what result is unknown. MT. Buttons place of business was the present Fitch place at Montowese.
 In other lines of transgression, one Stephen Beach seems to have been hard ened offender. For some reason MT. But 1 Ter, mentioned above, evidently had in cured the wrath of the anything but martyr Stephen. Joel Todd, grand | juror in that year-1810-having been in- | formed of some of Beach's unruly utter l ances, issued the following complaint, cited 1 as an illustration of the language of that | day:
 ssComes Joel Todd, Grand Juror of the Town l .'of North Haven, in said County, and complaint makes that Stephen Beach of M North Haven, at at
 s'of February last past, did threaten the life of | .sHazzard Button, of said North Haven, in Man

 gssb of ss said ths ns hs shs
 said Beech would burn and destroy ; % house 1 and
 a said sepsen neseh against | ssLaw JOEL ToDD. Grand Juror. For this intemperate language Beach was put under bonds to keep the peace. Im- mediately Isaac O. Stiles, another grand l juror, complained of him for profane
 swearing, and fine of $6. 79 was imposed, l which being unable to pay he was hustled l off to jail by John Abbott, constable.
 Silas Jacobs, another worthless charac- ter, was continually in hot water with the
 authorities At last he was convicted of breaking into Joseph Pierpont's grist mill | in 1919, and the community had rest from him for season. He was finally found drowned while intoxicated in small stream emptying into Muddy river near ! Walford's bridge.
 ! Wife beating, keeping lewd women, l idleness, vagrancy, were crimes by no means uncommon. Lyman Burke, Jothan | Allen and others were convicted in bas- tardy cases In f796 John Molthrop, Levi Blakeslee, Jacob Thorp, Cooper Andrews, Seba Thorp and Sylvia Jacobs were fined five shillings each for playing in meet l ing.n The penalty for this misdemeanor l was increased, for Solomon Blakeslee and !

THE DELsAnTE RECITAL.

A Delightful Successful Audience
 Too Large for the Room.
 The attendance yesterday afternoon at Mrs. M. J. WoodhulPs Delsarte recital in the Hoadley building was far in excess of the capacity of room 46 to accommodate them all. The affair should have been held in more commodious quarters, as it truly deserved them. The. program as printed in yesterdays COURIER was ren- dered with excellent satisfaction. Most of those to favor the audience were pupils of Mrs. Woodruff, and were credit to their teachers, particularly Miss Judson and Miss Pardee. Mrs. Woodruff read selec- tion from the Merchant of Venice, but it was her rendering of the Chariot Race, from Ben Hur, where she captivated her audience. She entered into all the excite ment of that thrilling description with marvellous appreciation and power.
 Miss Justine Ingerson also appeared with her usual charming manner, which needs little if any criticism before the New Haven public.
 The selections rendered by Miss Coles ter and Miss Field on the mandolin and piano were not the least pleasing features of the recital.

The Market quiet and Irregular Lake Shore and Atchison n Among the Strongest Features - Sudden Ad- vance in Sugar.


 Railroad bonds were generally quiet. Sales S1, ,273, 900, with no special animation. Atchison incomes rose 1.to.52N N...=ssssfaEsiz9 .s=s :ss-=s The stock market was.quiet and generalIyiir- regular, but the bears took hold and dropped prices still farther, paying special attention to Lackawanna and Union Pacific, and some special ties showed marked losses before the downward movement was checked. Lackawanna was forced lN per cent. and Union Pacific per cent, but the changes in the rest of the list were gen. erally insignificant. The market soon became dull and then a strong tone was developed prices moving up slowly and recovering not only the forenoon's losses but something in addition. Lake Shore and Atchison were among the strong est features, and in Sugar Refneries sudden ad- vance of per cent. was made. The list sagged away in the last hour, but the market closed strong, though dull, at near the best figures of day.

Boys VIII be Roys.

The warm wave of last evening had the effect of spelling the children's skating on the old green, which has been so universal ly enjoyed by them for the past few days. Though it was wet and sloppy, small boys were out by the hundreds, some with skates, some without, making the most of their poor advantages while they lasted One little fellow tried to race with his shadow but came to grief on the way. His skate caught and threw him flat in a puddle. He came up smiling neverthe- less, drenching wet and had simply this exclamation to utter as he shook himself like water spaniel, ''golly, first ducking tonight" There were many others to keep him company before the evening ended
