Now that we have new crusher
it is to be hoped that good deal of
work will be done on our streets. If
a street is fixed up properly it will last
for years and will not need a large
expenditure for repairs every year.
Let use have each street fixed up right
as we 60 along and then next year,
instead of putting in lot of expense
repairing the work done this year, we
can go ahead and fix up Others.

A Musical Grove of Trees.

A unique curiosity in the town of
Hamburg is a musical grove of chestnut
and walnut trees on the north side of
Nickerson hill, the highest point of land
in New London County, Connecticut.
The spot is well known among local
hunters as resort for gray squirrels.
Into these trees, which are old and nearly
all hollow, the squirrels have gnawed
their way through the knots and stumps
of limbs that have decayed. In many
cases but the mere shell of the tree
stands, and if fire is built in the hole
ut the roots smoke issues from many
holes above it in the limbs and the main
trunk. The peculiar sound caused by
the wind blowing into these holes has
given the grove the name of Singing
Trees. In the summer, when the trees
are covered with foliage, the wind has
no effect upon them, but in the fall the
wind has clean sweep at the trees, and
it whistles and means and Kisses through
the hollow trunks and limbs until it
seems to one u short distance away that q
horde of demons are holding grand
jubilee. These sounds are produced
only when the wind blows from the
southeast. 1t then sweeps over the top
of the hill and falls upon the grove,
apparently, as the wind from the mouth
of boy falls upon hollow key placed
at his lips, and the sound produced, in
many cases, is like that made by a per-
son blowing into the nose of a bottle,
multiplied u million times. Breaking
into these tones is, now and then, short,
sharp, shrieking noise and then kissing
sound, as if from the mouth of a thou
sand pythons in chorus. Taken together
these Kisses and toots and means and
shrieks make pandemonium that one
doesn't care to listen to very long. The
noise can be heard five miles away, and
it has been heard to the leeward dis
tance of eight miles, Boston Tran

Brutality in the German Army.

The superior officers in the German
army are said to 60 upon the principle
that ill-usage is necessary to proper
discipline. A Prussian officer met a
party of men one evening at the gates
of fortress coming home from target
practice. He went up to one man and
asked him if he had made the right
number of points, and on being answered
in the negative he boxed the mans ears
and called him "a Swabian swine" AT
Fort Albeck, near Ulm, man was
accused OF being dirty, which does not
really appear to have been the case.
He was, however, scrubbed by some
non commissioned officers, in the pre-
sence of an officer, until the blood ran
down his body. The same man, in
October last year, when the weather was
cold, was taken, after some very hard
drill and when steaming with perspir-
alton, to the pump, where all his clothes
were stripped off him, and ice cold water
thrown over him by two non-commiss-
ioned officers. He was then scrubbed
all over till the blood came again, as well
as kicked and cuffed numerically. A
colonel of engineers appears to have
used most degrading language 10 his
men, and one day passing by sentry
who did not, as he thought, present arms
smartly enough he cut the man across
the face with riding whip.-lChicago

Aquatic Burials.

Among the peoples of antiquity the
practice was not uncommon of disposing
of the dead by throwing them into the
sea, by sinking them in water courses
and by setting them ahoat in boats. The
Ichthyophagi, or fish eaters, who lived
i'll a region bordering on the Persian gulf,
are mentioned by Ptolemy as having the
custom of invariably committing their
corpses to the ocean, thus repaying the
obligations they had incurred to its in
habitants. According to the same au-
thority the famous lotus eaters when
they found themselves about to die threw
themselves into the sea. The Cherokees
of Tennessee formerly made practice
of thro wing their dead into the rivers.
In Africa people of the tribe called
Obongo take the cadaver to running
stream, which has been previously diver
ted from it course. A deep grave is dug
in the bed of the stream, the body is
placed in it and covered over, and finally
the stream is restored to its natural
course. History says that Alaric was
buried in similar manner in the year
410 A. D., at Cosenca in Calabria. The
Goths turned aside the course of the
river Vasento, and having made u grave
in the midst of its bed there inferred
their king with prodigious amount of
treasure. Then they turned the river
back into its course and killed all per-
sons who had been concerned in prepar-
ing the romantic sepulcher.- Washing

The English girl who is really up to
style wears q coat called the whole back
coat. There are no curved seams in the
back, and the garment resembles not
little the box coat of her older brother.
Black parrots are the most recent dec-
orations in millinery. They are even
more bizarre than their distant cousins,
the blackbirds.
A very popular new fabric is called
crinkled cordurette. The spaces between
the cords have puffed effect, and it is
material that finds favor with slender
women.
The color combination most in favor
for evening wear is jonquil yellow, with
garlands Of dropping purple violets.
Palest water green with white hyacinths
is much affected by golden-haired wo-
men.
According to recent and very pretty
fancy, the back breadth, sleeves and vest
of utility gown of plain wool goods for
young woman may be made of plaid
goods, the sleeves and vest being cut
bias, and if cape of the dress goods is
worn it will generally be lined with the
plaid material.
A single breasted coat Of three-quar-
ter length is particularly stylish when
made Of black silk, either to complete q
suit or to be worn as an Independent top
garment.
Bead location pieces in jet and in
single and prismatic colors are still
largely used on elaborate gowns, and
oftentimes avail to render plain cos
tune very dressy looking.
Ribbed velvets are worn, especially
for coat waists, with skirt of silk or
cloth. The ribs are black and diagonal,
and though very near together show
glimpses of satin ground of color-yel-
low, sage, pale blue or brilliant red.
China silk, nuns yelling, woolen ba-
tiste, flannel, printed or white cambria,
lawn, percale and fine cottons generally
are fashionably used for underwear and
night robes, and numerous designs for
garments of this kind are among recent
publications.
Brocaded dresses have corsages that
have full coat skirts in the back and a
corselet front. The coat piece is cut in
half-circle shape, and gathered to q
round waist between the under arm
seams. Sometimes bunch of rich gal
loon heads this addition.
A dainty black plaque is transformed
into rather brilliant head covering by a
trimming composed entirely of round jet
facets. The crown is of velvet covered
with jet, and the brim, which is made of
jet, is supported by three wired velvet
bandeaux. A full aigrette rises from
the centre of rosette of lace at the
back, and bowknot of jet secures a
second lace rosette in front. Velvet tie
strings fall at the back, and minute jet
bowknots fasten them to the coiffure
when the hat is upon the head.

Mortality Among Trainmen.

Statistics show that in 1889 1872
trainmen were killed and 2O,028 injured,
making total of $4,000. For the year
ending June 80, 1890, the secretary's
report gives a list Of 2,451 killed and
1880 injured, total list of "a, ,841, or
an increase of 2,841 over the preceding
year. According to the statement for
1889, 800 men were killed while coupling
and uncoupling cars and 6,757 injured
practically one-third of the whole num-
ber of railroad employees killed and
injured during that year. For 1880,
1863 were killed and 7,841 injured-an
increase of over LOO. When it is
stated that upward of 100000 cars are
provided with automatic couplers, pre-
sumably "life-savers, and that the
number is being increased every year,
the effect of these figures is somewhat
startling. Apropos of this the questions
put by Commissioner King to Grand
Master Sweeney of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association at the meeting
of the committee of railroad commits
soners in New York last November.
This meeting, it should be borne in
mind, was called for the purpose OF
obtaining information from railroad
managers, employees and others interested
in the matter of safety appliances, so
that the committee could present bill
to congress calculated to hasten and
insure the equipment of freight cars
with uniform automatic couplers and air
brakes. In a speech of some length
before the committee Mr.. Sweeney
stated that he considered science had so
far done very little toward ameliorating
the condition of the switchmen by in
PRODUCING safer draft irons; in fact he
thought the various devices now in use
were an imposition on the men and only
made their duties extra hazardous. To
Commissioner King, who inquired if he
considered the improvements made or
the devices now being adopted less dan
gerous than the old attachments, Mr..
Sweeney replied: 81 have just said
that introducing devices has not in any
way lessened the accidents to switchmen;
in fact, has increased the danger
