THE PROBLEM SOLVED
God Made Certain Parts of Litchfiel'
 County to be Surveyed.


 County to be Surveyed.
 Editor of Ne,os
 We have often heard of "The Col lege," signifying tract of land in the northeast part of our own town which has for many years been owned by the corporation of Yale. And now that an educational institution under the con- trol of Yale University is just about be- ing established at Lakeville, it seems as if that institution which so many of us love is in a way coming very near to us. But it may not be known to all of the readers of the NEWS that Yale is not the only collegiate institution owning prop erty in our county.
 About twenty-five miles south of us, in the town of Morris, is a large farm owned, and at present occupied, by the authorities of Columbia college of New York city. Should you go there today you would find college work actually being earned on, with no less than one- hundred students in attendance. They are occupying the old farm house, and barns, tents, and some are boarding in neighboring houses. Their work here, 1t may be imagined is the practical side of college life, not farming however, but surveying. AS they were to be seen one hot day last week carrying chains and compasses, and tripod, ts- bles and maps across the swamp 1t looked as though they had already found a part of the real activities of life. The professors say that, owing to the great diversity which the landscape here presents, as thorough drill can be given the surveyor within a radius of few miles as he could get by visiting many states.
 The curious have often wrestled with the problem-what object the Lord had in making certain parts of Litchfeld county. But the Columbia professors have solved it. It was made to survey; and it is worth quite as much on which to teach young men to survey as IS the best land we have in North Canaan.
 Very Truly Yours,
 Dwight O. Stone. North Canaan, Conn.,, Aug. Is, 1892.

Don's Eat too Much Nowadays. ..

We all eat too much in the summer time. The man who begins hot sum- mer day with cup of hot coffee, big slice of beefsteak fried in grease, 8 couple of boiled eggs, and two or three hot soggy rolls fresh from the oven, is simply firing up for the day. A glass of water, few sips of coffee, little fruit, 8 cracker and glass of milk constitute all the breakfast that is needed for sum- mer time in this climate, and during the intensely hot weather if man eats meat once day that is generally once too often.
