MARIA MASON HUMPHREY.

Maria E. Mason, widow of Merrill Humphrey of Canaan. died at the resi- dence of her sister, Mrs Homer Twitch- ell, in Naugatuck, Conn.,, at one o'clock last Friday morning, after an illness of several weeks with bronchitis, but the immediate cause of her death was heart disease with which she has suffered more or less for many years.
 Maria E. Mason was the daughter of Abner and Elizabeth Mason, and was born at South Coventry, Conn.,, in Sep tember 1919. In 1S43 she married Mer- Till Humphrey, of Norfolk. MT and Mrs Humphrey resided in Norfolk un- til 1876 when they removed to Canaan. Mir Humphrey died at Canaan Jan. 15, 1886, aged 76 years, and since that time Mrs Humphrey has made her home here with her son Clarence who has car ed for her with the utmost devotion and affection. Besides her son Mrs Hum phrey leaves one sister, Mrs Homer Twitchell of Naugatuck; and one broth CT, Frank Mason of Hartford. For many years Mrs Humphrey was mem- Der of the Congregational church at Norfolk but when the Pilgrim church at Canaan was organized she joined 1t by letter from the church in Norfolk. She was quiet, unassuming person, but highly esteemed by all who knew her and she will be missed not only in the home circle but inthe church where she hath done what she could and although her health would not permit her to take as active 8 part in church work as some others do yet every worthy cause found in her friend, and contributor to the extent of her ability.
 The funeral services were attended at Mrs Twitchell's residence in Naugatuck on Saturday at 1.30 p. m. The Rev MT Soule conducted the services. On Monday morning the remains were talk en to Norfolk for interment. The Rev Mir DePeu conducted the services at the grave. The bearers were old friends and relatives of the deceased.
 It may be proper to mention the fact that Mrs Humphreys death is the fourth death which has occurred among the membership of the Pilgrim church since the church was organized over five years ago.

 Last Thursday afternoon the young ladies reading club met on the shores of the lovely Twin Lakes. We are in- l formed, for no masculine man was all lowed to be present, that they read "Romeo and Juliet" play by William Shakespeare. In the evening they were joined by some of the young gentlemen, who drove over in MT Brackets large wagon with four horses. They all had a picnic, and afterwards drove back to. gether; perhaps they did not have any fun.
 John O. Richmond and Jim Drake had very startling adventure last Tues day, which might have proved serious, but did not They were driving with MT Richmond's horse and buck board, when the horse took fright at calf crate, which was being taken out of O. E. Holcomb's barn. Without an in stant's warning he whirled around and tipped up the vehicle. Jim gracefully got out, as it went over, and tried to catch the horse, but the intelligent animal was too quick for him. In the meantime, Jim's less agile companion was thrown violently to the ground on his face. The horse sped on with the blackboard, uptil he was finally stopped near Chas 5. Pease's, where Messrs Holoomb and Drake found him. The shafts and cross bar of the buck board were bxoksn.

Good and BAL Feathers.

Feathers figure very prominently in the
religious customs of most aborigines,
aud remarkably so in the Southwest.
Among Navajos and Pueblos alike these
plume-symbols are Of the utmost efficacy
for good or bad. They are part Of al
most every ceremonial of the indefinite
superstitions OF these tribes. Any white
or brlght-hued plume is Of good omen
good s'medicine" as the Indians would
put it.
The gay feathers Of the parrot are par
ticularly valuable, and some dances cam
not be held without them, though the
Indians have to travel hundreds OF miles
into Mexico to get them. A peacock il
harder to keep ia the vicinity Of Indians
than the finest horse-those brilliant
plumes are too tempting.
Eagle feathers are of sovereign value;
and in most of the Pueblos great, dark,
captive eagles are kept to furnish the
coveted articles for most important pcca-
sions. If the bird of freedom were sud-
denly exterminated now, the whole In
dian economy would come to standstill,
No witches could be exercised. nor sick
ness cured, nor much of anything else
accomplished,
Dark feathers, and those in particular
Of the owl, buzzard. woodpecker and
raven are unspeakably accursed. No one
will touch them except those who shave
the evil roadn-that is, are witches--and
any Indian found with them in his or
her possession would be officially put to
death. Such feathers are used only in
secret by those who wish to kill or harm
an enemy in whose path they are laid.
