MILLINERY.

Thanksgiving well nigh cleaned us out
of TRIMMED HATS, but by hustling and
making an extra effort in our work rooms
our stock is again beginning to assume its
usual proportions, and few days will see
it large and as varied as ever.
Now, a word to late buyers on this
TRIMMED HAT question. Come in and
see us now, do not wait until everyone
is ordering their Christmas Hat, and
everybody is rushed. Come in when you
can select at leisure what you want and
have any necessary or desired changes
made without delay. You will find it far
more satisfactory than waiting until the

If one may Judge from what one
hears, the question of the new High
school is far from being settled. In the
first place there are many who bt lieve
that the interests of the whole people
would be best subserved by raising the
grade of the Bank Clay, Bishop and Wei
ton street schools, rather than by erect
ing a new and expensive High school
building. Under the present system
many children after finishing in the
lower grade of schools are sent into the
factories to begin the struggle for life
lust at a time when the mind is really
beginning to grasp the fundamental
principles of education. If the grade of
the schools named above were raised
including in the curriculum English
grammar, history, mathematics, geogra-
phy, physiology and philosophy, thous-
ands of children would be benefited,
especially the children of the poor.
When a pupil is fitted for the High
school, unless it is the intention of the
parents to give the child a thorough
education, the natural time has come
for a change'from the schoolroom to the
workshop. 1t costs more to send child
to the High school-mOre for clothing,
for books, car fare and other inci1entals,
amounting in the aggregate to consid
cradle sum. So long as there is any
thing to be learned in the schools rear
their homes, except in rare cases children
will not be taken from their studies
Why then would it not be the better
plan to establish grammar grades in diff
ferent parts of the city and actually
make of the High school what it is in
name? Would not this relieve the
Gro wded condition of the present High
school building?
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-11-26

ANOTHER point also occurs to me in
connection with this interesting Ques
ton. If the people decide that a new
High school building is a necessity.
what of the location? The rear of the
ola cemetery is not desirable place for
such an institution. At least, it does
not appear so to the writer. Hemmed
in by a network of railroads, barns and
sheds, in the rear of another building
actually tout of sight" the proposed
building would not be a thing of beauty,
nor would the scream of locomotives.
and the SCOT and smoke, make. the place
more attractive. The extension of
Church street to Meadow street may
mean more than appears on the surface.
Do you remember the attempt that was
made a few years ago to extend Field
street to Riverside street by bridging
two railroads and the Naugatuck river :
The project would cost at least 100000
and the verdict of popular disapprovaI
was set upon it. If Church street bt
extended through the old cemetery how
| long will it be until the old scheme is
revived?

THEN tell us that new High school
building will cost about 500, 900. At
least that is the modest amount asked to
carry out the work by the officers of the
center school district. With all due re-
spect to the gentlemen comprising the
school board, l do not believe that a
building such as they propose can be
erected for much less than double that
amount. From 10000 to 1925 ,OOC
would probably be required before tn.
completion of the work. Are the peCI Il
of Waterbury ready to assume thi,
burden?

THE remodeled postoftice will never
be popular with the general public.
Needed accommodations for those on
the inside have been secured, but at
what a cost First, the South Main
street entrance was closed and a "kiCk
was made all along the lire. 1t awaited
nought, however, for the government
has way of doing things according tc
its own ideas, without regard to the
feelings of ordinary mortals. Then the
north window on the Bank street side
was made part of the office proper
crowding the large boxes into SIX by
eight space. Between nine and ten in
morning, and after the evening mails
have been distributed, the scene in this
corner reminds me of the crowd in
front of circus ticket wagon. 1t is a
great nuisance to be obliged to line W
and wait for ones turn, especially rs So
many Waterbury people are addicted t.
the habit of reading their correspond
ence before locking their boxes.

that the street inspector has been in

his place of business. The goods
must be taken from the cases or boxes
and the latter then removed without
delay. In several instances during the
week empty cases have been Carted
away by the city team. In one case il
cost the merchant $40 to settle.

ment to them TO undertake tbs task again.
About ons-half the manuscripts were
readily rejected es being Of no particular

More care was exercised in the consldera~

The Evening of LIE.

Thank God my soul begins TO know
The beauty Of life's after glow
That now upon the western slope
II is not all bereft OF hope.
That tho at times the darkness seems
Beyond the reach Of fancy's dreams
They come in fitful moods once more
As bright and cherry as Of yore.
And with the record Of those days
Round which the sight Of memory plays
Imagination spreads her wings
And scars above terrestrial things,
And wherefore not the smiles and tears
That gild and cloud our youthful years
Make upthe lovely rainbow hues
That DER our after lives diffuse
Their radiance and whose glowing tints
Are heavenly beams and heavenly glinrs.

Sunday " PARIS.

SUNDAY IN PARIS.
Paris is lively place on Sunday. The
people make the day one of pleasure so far
as they can. And in order that most of
the people may have good time a great
many people have to work. And not q
little work is also done which is uncon-
nected with the pleasure of the people.
But there has been decided change in the
way Sunday has been looked upon in Paris,
and strong society for securing the OBJ
servance of Sunday as day of rest has
been formed. Leon Say, the political
economist and member of the chamber
of deputies, is president. The idea started
with the congress of social economists
in Paris during the exposition of 1889,
where it was unanimously recognized that
weekly day of rest was indispensable
to the working classes. M. Say says:
eve do not ask for legislation, but de-
pend entirely for success on the power of
persuasion. We have already achieved
some practical results. In the postofice
we have got the hours shortened on Sun
railroad companies" Senator Jules
Simon, the honorary president of the
society, says; eve desire that our work
men may have days rest once week.
and Sunday is naturally the day we have
chosen. But our undertaking is difficult
one, because it runs counter to numerous
customs and interests. We do not wish to
forbid people working on Sundays if they
wish to do SO, but we aim to prevent them
from forcing other people to work"
Such movement in Paris seems odd to
those who have the idea concerning the
capital which is generally prevalent. But
there are many signs that wild gaiety and
irreligion are not as popular in Paris as
they have been.

NATURE AS A HEALER.

The old hymn says we live at poor, dy
ing rate, and DR.. Henry P. Loomis of New
York shows how nature tries to overcome
the tendency to death. As a curator of
Bellevue hospital DR.. Loomis has studied
1, 146 post mortem eza.minations of cases
in which death occurred at the hospital.
Many of these were non n-consumptive cases.
The result has been to confirm the impress
sion, previously created by reports of au-
topsies made in prominent European hos
pitfalls, that in many cases the process of
lung destruction is arrested by some cause;
by one cause or another the lung heals; all
pulmonary symptoms cease, and the
patient gains good health, and dies finally
of some other ailment. This is shown by
the revelations of the dissecting- table.
Old lung cavities possibly unknown dur
ing the patients ife-are found to have
healed. Not by complete restoration of
the affected portion of the lung to a nor
NAL condition, but in way which shows
that the damage was not sufficient to pre-
vent cessation of all pulmonary symp-
toms, nor to prevent a natural healing
and an adequate use of the functions of
lungs. 1t is also shown that eff the
tubercle bacilli, if present, are rendered
inert by the connective tissue which sur
rounds them, and are finally destroyed,
then we can say that a cure takes place in
very many cases-a number much larger
than is generally supposed" Any one,
says DR.. Loomis, who has the opportunity
of making a large number of autopsies
soon becomes impressed with two facts:
First, it is the exception to find perfectly
normal lungs, or lungs which are not more
or less firmly bound to the chest-walls by
old pleuritic adhesions, either localized or
general.
This is encouraging to those who have
lung trouble. Nature can do wonderful
things, and she evidently heals many
diseased lungs.

pers by bringing an action under the Blue
Laws of 1894. Over 100 warrants have
been issued for the arrests of all newspa-
Per employees, news agents, carriers and
employees of company which sells Sunday
papers on Sunday. The proprietors of the
papers will carry the matter to the su-
preme court. The Law and Order league
also contemplates proceedings against the
proprietors of Sunday newspapers.
The annual mortality of the entire
human race amounts, roughly speaking,
according to French medical journal, to
thirty-three millions of persons. This
makes the average deaths per day over
ninety-one thousand, being at the rate of
$3.50 an hour, or si1ty-two people every
minute of the day and night the year
round. A fourth of the race die before
completing their eighth year, and one-half
before the end of the seventeenth year;
but the average duration of life is about 38
years. Not more than one person in
hundred thousand lives to be hundred.
Says Judge G. Q. Richmond of Denver,
Colorado: Capital properly invested in the
tin mines of Colorado would pay the in
vestor good returns. The deposits of this
metal are greater than many persons sus-
pect those whose business it is to deal in
minerals and ores. While gold and silver
will always be delyed for and produced,
it is equally true that much money oan be
made from the products of tin il the capi-
talists would make the Investments. AS it
is, they seek the quicker road to
af1uence through stock speculation, and
while one gains many fall. By the protec-
ton afforded with the adoption of the
tariff bill at the last Congress, the tin could
be mined and placed on the market for
ufacturers of this country.
The Indians who lived near the seashore
An interesting Investigation is that being
made by the Bureau of Ethnology concern
ing the great beds of oyster-shells that
mark the sites of ancient Indian fishing
villages on the banks of the Potomac, Sus-
quehanna, and Delaware rivers. These.
beds were found along tidewater> by the
first white settlers, together with the ruins
of huts that were often built on the heaps
of shells. The inference is that the Indians
depended largely upon the bivalves for
food. In some places the beds ex-
tend over hundreds of acres, and in
the debris implements of the chase and
the home-life of the savage have
been found. Most of these, of
course, are of flint. Fragments of the very
vessels in which the oysters were cooked
have also been brought to light, 80 that
conjecture that the Indians were familiar
with the steamed, broiled, and roasted
oyster were not fsr-fetched. No kind of
implement for opening oysters has been
dug up, 80 the opinion may be hazarded
that the red men were unacquainted with
the epicurean flavor of oysters on the
half shell. A ssvant says that the pre-
paration most in favor was that of steam
ing, the bivalves being placed on hot
stone and covered with moist seaweed. 1t
is thought also that the Indians were mas
ters of process of drying oysters, which
they disposed of in barter to tribes in the
interior

MESA COUNTY, COLORADO.

Extracts from a Report on it's Re.
sources Made by Mr.. John s. Charl-
ton.
Connecticut people who have friends in
Mesa county, Colorado, will be interested
in what Mr.. John S. Charlton, statistici an
of the county, had to say concerning it at
the Western Colorado congress held at Az
pen:
Mesa county lies in the valleys of the
Grand and Gunnison rivers. Her noun
tain sides and high plateaus furnish the
cattle, horses and sheep, and her broad val
leys, irrigated by the waters of Colorado's
greatest rivers, are the scenes of husbandry
and horticulture.
Mesa county, considered from the point
of view of the farmer, orchardist or vine
grower, has promise of greater future
than any other county in Colorado because
of three essential points in her favor:
First, her principle valley, that of tho
Grand, has the lowest altitude of any agri-
cultural section of the state and is further
benefited by the milder climate of the
Western slope, which makes possible the
production in perfection and deciduous
| fruits, while from the lower end of Grand
valley to the upper waters of the plateau,
