VIII Male Man Become Extinct.

But the fact remains that the
women outlive the men. The mas
culine sex is gradually but surely be-
coming exterminated. We do not
care to hazard Il guess as to when
there will be no men left, but their
numbers are growing fewer, while
the women are growing in number
and beauty. This is plain
fact. Let the cranks explain if
they can. One of the an
cient prophets fortells time when
seven women shall take hold of one
man and declare their willingness to
earn their livelihood and his if they
may only be called by his name. The
world may be coming to that, but we
are free to say that the man of that
period will not be worth the attention
of the splendid woman of that time.
They viii be as goddesses and he will
be miserable dude.-New Orleans

To secure this end she is trying to raise $15,OO0 in this country. "We hope to have the use of two rooms in the woman's building" said the count ess. "In one we will have 8 represents tion of bridal party. The fgules, which will be of wax, will be clothed entirely in garments made by these poor Irish girls 1; but it will be a beautiful display, the faces and embroideries being of the richest.

A BIT OF NAUTIcAL.rEsTIMoNY

EIt was given last August by bronzed olds Long Island seaman, who was guid- ing down thesbaysone of those light sail ing yachts that fit all summer like white-winged gulls about New York wa- ters Among the party on deck wasla young theological student, who, taking a fancy to play pilot, had seated: Himself at the wheel, with the old man at his elbow.
 The conversation had been mostlySof the light surface sort, characteristic of boating parties, rippling easily along, leaving the profounder depths to silence. But, somehow, the talk had drifted to- ward the theologian's quarter; and sud- denly the little party became uncomfort- ably conscious that they had shipped a heavy conversational sea.
 There was good deal about the evo. lution of divine truth; about new ideas and wider conceptions; about growth and original convictions, and independent thinking, and the spring time of new age-winding up with comforting assur | ances that, though we had outlived the past, good men had never been left with out a revelation. The new star would | arise. a@
 To avoid the discussion which might ensue somebody tackled. "Well, Cap what do you think about 1t ?" The old salt gave twitch at his weath er-beaten vizor, and sidelong glance a the eloquent youth.
 "You make me think" he drawleG slowly, ''you make me think of fellel that was steerin' fur me one night, along down the sound. Blest eff / know-what's his name ?-Theology! I know the i'm and outs of that old shore good dea better. But, as was sayin', the felle

 up, there, pilot! she's headin' round.
 And he sings back: T say, Cap, giv

Cor. Hartford Courant.) LIGHTING THE HILLS.

On the evening of October 27 display of signal lights and rockets was given on Bear Mountain, 2,354 feet above the level of the sea and the highest land in the state of Connecticut, lying in the town ship of Salisbury; on Mount Bradford, 1 ,930 feet, in Canaan township, and on the Haystack, 1,678 feet, in the township of Norfolk. A number of the largest sizes of parachute and other kinds of rockets were fired, followed by the burn- ing of large magnesium lights and masses of red fire. The object of the display was simply to advance and cement the pres l ent feelings of friendship and good fel- lowship existing between the various towns, and to give the school children and others interested an opportunity to identify the highest land in their state. The evening was favorable for the dis play, which was witnessed by hundreds of spectators in the northwestern part of the state, being seen in nearly every town in Litchfleld county, and also in many adjoining towns in the states of Massa- chusetts and New York. It is a matter | of qualification to the originator and giver of the display, that the lights and ockets were also seen in the city of Rockville by MT. Burr, the editor of the Holland Coun- ty Leader. MT. Burr had seen the notice of the event in the Courant, and, although not expecting to see anything, glanced out of the window of his house on Long, view hill at the appointed time and was
 astonished to see with much distinctness
 the rockets ascending from the summit of
 Bear mountain, distance of over fifty miles in 6 straight line from Rockville,
 and from Mount Bradford and the Hay
 stack. As far as heard from, MT. Burr
 appears to have been the only person In
 this state, outside of Litchfield county.
 who saw the display. Judging from his
 experience 1t is safe to assume that the signals might have been seen by watch
 CTS on the higher points anywhere within
 a radius of from fifty to seventy-f five miles
 from the firing points. It is not known
 that the summits of Bear, Bradford or
 Haystack mountains can be seen from
 any point about Rockville, but the rock
 cts ascending as they did to great height
 could undoubtedly have been seen for a
 number of miles east of Rockville.
 ls In this manner the interesting question
 as to how far @ giant parachute rocket
 may be seen under favorable conditions
 has been settled; many people have had
 their attention called to and become in-
 terested in the topography of their own state, and all who watched have seen a
 unique and most imposing spectacle.

r-----.-- MISTAKEN MOTHERS.

A gentleman once said to me in speak ing of his mother, whom he 1everenced and loved as only few mothers are loved, Cher only imperfection was her utter self abnegation." She was unselflsh to faalt. I had known her many years as & sweet, timid little woman, shabbily dressed and self-deprecating. I knew instantly what he meant, and in that one sentence saw some of the suffering this woman, who would have given her life for her son, had caused him.
 Knowing that she could afford suitable and modern dress and many of the con- forts of life, she chose to go poorly clad, and denied herself, not only luxuries, but many things which seemed necessities to one of her age, in order that more might be spent for her children. am sure she never guessed by their treatment of her of the sorrow and morti- ! fication which her constant sacrifices caused her family, for no woman ever re- ceived more respect and affection from her husband and children than did she the young men and women, who called her mother. were too kind and courteous to ever show her aught but their honor and admiration. They were often mis- judged and considered selfish and unfeel- ing because they were forced to be the fetishes for her fond worship. It was rather hard to bear at times the pitying glances which people cast at the faded, insignificant woman who had been too busy planning and working for other peo- pie to work and plan for her own upbuild- ing.
 Only little of the "pride of life," a little effort at making herself as beau. tiful as possible, little time spent by herself for herself, would have added more to the happiness of her children than her whole life of renunciation could do.
 Since she went away, the little trials which her mistaken generosity caused are forgotten.

Conn Farmer: Comment seems su- perfluous on such a state of things as ex- ist in Mansfield. Only those who have been through a similar experience know how completely "fire-bug' will terrorize a town, and how difficult 1t is to secure convicting evidence in such matters. It Is very easy to say what ought to be done; it is rather serious matter for any indi- vidual to take the lead in doing 1t.
 Rockville Journal: A young man who lives not many miles from Winder- mere, asked his best girl to take drive with him the other day, and at the ap- pointed hour he called foi her. The horse was white one, and, as his girl has red hair, she took offence, and re- fused to step into the buggy, saying that she did not want the boys to call out to her, as they had done on a former occa- sion. The young man was obliged to re- turn the horse, and the drive was given up for that day. Rev. w. T. Hutchins, of Ellington, the noted raiser of sweet peas, has ar- ranged for number of new varieties from T. J. Eckford, of England, the owner of the largest collection in the world.
 Willimantic Journal: The citizens of the town of Mansfield have a problem on their hands which they ought to have the courage and the skill to solve. The barn burnings and church desecrations in the north part of the town, which have broken out again, after rest of few | months, need go no further if the citizens | will unite and work for their cessation. An organized patrol working for few weeks would be reasonably sure to fur. nish evidence against the guilty party oI parties, and secure convictions which | would relieve the town of their presence for number of years. A vigilance com | mittee in the best sense of such an orga nization, would be good thing for tho town of Mansfield.

Washington Star A year ago the navy was without standard in this manufac- ture, and it bought three foreign plates, representing the best products of Europe, which it tested severely at Annapolis. Taking the best plate it has improved upon it and added to 1t the best-known American process of hardening and tenn pering, and thus it has evolved, through the competing efforts of private manufac- turers, series of plates that are pro- nounced even by foreigners to be superior to anything ever made abroad. There is a meaning hidden in this experience that cannot fail of strength when noted in con nection with the history of the American | navy in times when the country has need
 ed fighting force for either offensive .ol defensive warfare. Tagging little be-
 hind the rest of the world in apparent progress, this country has been able to profit by the experiments and experiences of other powers, and, developing na | tional trait. of adaptation and improve <ment, the United States to-day stand ready to compete with Europe in any lint of the manufacture of war material.
