Many of the older residents of this sec
ton remember the late DIR. John Warner,
of New Milford, andIwin appreciate this
little story. When DR.. Warner was a
student at Yale he used to come home
Saturday nights and return to- New
Haven Mondays. That was before the
days of railways, and as stage coaches
did not leave New Milford Monday
for New Haven young Warner used to
mount his fathers horse and ride to Yale
on horseback. There were several toll
gates on the route, ami at each Warner
would pay the return ion for his horse.
Arriving at Yale he would affix to tho
bride a card bearing these words,
"Please not stop this Horse" The saga
cious animal would jogalong homeward,
invariably reaching hisstan at New Mil
ford all right. The tpll takers got to
know the horse, and he was never inter
rupted On Fridays thb horse would be
started alone to New Haven with a
small pouch attached TO his saddle in
which was the exact change for the tolls
Each toll taker would tpke his toll, and
the horse would trot along, reaching
Yale i'll the evening. This practice was
kept up until the young 1octor was grad
uated.-Danbury (ConnA News.

How SOME Mem 1ya.te rime.

The train stopped at a little town. A
commercial traveller, dealing in groceries
and tobacco, got off; a crate of live chick
ems was put on and the cars started
again. The stopping of a train was no
rare sight in that village, for it happens
two or three times every day. The peo-
pie had no welcome for the commercial
traveller. no tears were shed over the de-
parture of the chickens; yet on the sta
ton steps counted forty men and boys
who were there when the train came in
farm boys. who ought to have been at
work in the fields; village boys, who
might have been doing something some
where, every interest of economies and
aesthetics alike calling them away from
the village and off to the farms. Two
men attended to all the business of the
station. The solitary passenger went his
own way. The rest were there because
they had not the moral strength to go
anywhere else. They stood there on the
station steps, embodied ghosts, dead to
all life and hope, with only force enough
to stand around and gape. David s.
Jordan in Forum.

Reform in Mems Dress.

"A Business Womanp writes to pro-
test against the agitation of dress reform
for women, upon the ground that
women's dress is in no reed of reforma-
ton, and to propose a dress reform for
men. She wants to know why mems
trousers should not be cut off at the
ankles; she wants to know if there is
comfort in shiny shirt front or stiff
collar-the growing prevalence of fan
mel, silk, cheviot and unstarched linen
answers nay; she asks Why men should
stuff yard or two of superhuous
cotton cloth into their trousers, instead
of wearing shirt waisis as the little
shavers do; she shoots tie hat of man,
SO to speak. with condemnation of its
stiffness.
Sensible men will welcome the
thought of an effort To reform their
dress in the direction IF comfort and
convenience But our hopes are damped
somewhat by the memory of the fact
that, throughout the ages, when women
were the architects OF mems shirts,
there was never known shirt that
fitted. San Francisco Argonaut

Many ask what use aerial navigation
will be put to in case it succeeds. To
this would reply, certainly not for car
rying freight, and not, for considerable
time at least, for carrying passengers.
When the first flying machine succeeds,
its first great use will be for military
purposes. 1t will at once become an en-
CINE of war, not only to reconnoiter the
enemy's positions, as has been attempted
with the socalled dirigible balloons, but
also for carrying and dropping into the
enemy's lines and country large bombs
charged with high explosives.
1t does not require prophet to fore
see that successful machines of this char
acter would at once make it possible for
nation possessing them to paralyze
completely an enemy by destroying in a
few hours the important bridges, armo-
ries, arsenals, gas and water works, rail-
way stations, public buildings, etc., and
that all the modern means of defense,
both by land and sea, which have cost
untold millions, would at once be rem
dered worthless. OF course this mode
of warfare would not do away COM
pletely with all forms of small firearms,
which would still have to be used in or
der to enable these future engines of war
to combat one another; but it is safe to
assert that none but small and light guns
would be used.-Hiram S. Maxim in

A Revelation.


tea bright. shiny green, bat also permits the
use Of " off-color /" and worthless teas, which,
once under the green cloak, are readily
worked on as good quality of tea
An eminent authority writes on this sub
ject: 1.-THE manipulation of poor teas. to give
them a.hner appearance, is carried on extern
sively. Green teas, being in this country
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue, tumeric,
gypsum, and indigo. TAts method Is so gen
erai that ecry little genuine ancolored green tea
Is offered for sale"
1t was the knowledge of this condition Of
affairs that prompted the placing of Bcechs
Tea before the public. It is absolutely pure
and without color. Did you. ever see any
genuine uncolored Japan teaf Ask your
grocer to open package of Bcech's, and you
viii see 1t, and probably for the very first
time. It will be found in color to be just be-
tween the artificial green tea that you have
been accustomed to and the black teas.
It draws delightful canary color, and Is SO
fragrant that It will be revelation to tea
drinkers. Its purity makes It also more
economical than the artificial teas, fer less
of it Is required per cup. Sold only in pound

A strange criticism of Rembrandt's IA
nous portrait of "The Glider" was over
heard by two young artists at the Metro
politan museum recently.
The young men were examining the
portrait for perhaps the hundredth time.
AS on the previous ninety-nine occasions
they had grown enthusiastic over the
wonderful art displayed in its execution.
AS is well known. the picture is that
Of Jan Domer, a Dutch artist, who is
habited in the costume of his country
and age. One of the most marvellous
pieces of work of the entire portrait is
the reproduction of huge starched linen
ruff that the man wears about his neck
The ruff almost stands out from the can
vas, SO sllilfully was it reproduced by the
marvellous hand of the master.
The two young men were almost ready
to fall down before the portrait to wor-
ship it when they heard the sharp, nasal
tones of countryman speaking behind
them. The words they heard were, oh
Maria, come here and see this man with
his head sticking through a cheese"
The two men instinctively moved
away. what profanation!' SAID one
to the ether.
"Yes. indeed" was the reply. II won.
der il it is possible for these people ever
to appreciate art. believe there are AT
least Eve hundred artists who would br
willing to ley down their lives if they
could bat produce that ruff, to say moth
