MORTALITY FOR JUNE.

The Kate Much Lower Than in May.
DR.. G. A. Lindsley, secretary of the
state board of health, has issued his NOR
tality report for the month OF June.
There were S92 deaths reported in the
state during the month. This was 255 less
than in May; it was IS less than in June,
1891, and more than the average number
of deaths in June for the five years pre-
ceding the present. The death rate was
Al for the large towns; for the small
towns 1877, and 1876 for the whole etate.
DR.. Lindsley says in the report: The re-
port for 1891 is specially valuable as con-
tanning the concluding report on "The
Examination of Certain Connecticut Water
Supplies" by Drs. Williston, Smith and
Lee.
These very important Investigations, of
which this is the third report, have been
interrupted by the failure Of the legislature
to organize and make the necessary appro-
priation for it's continuance.
There Is scarcely any fact better estab-
lished, or more generally accepted than
that the quality of drinking water is one
of the most important factors of any
Known III lnuuenclnS the PUBIC health.
Massachusetts has realized this, and nc
longer leaves her citizens to the mercies OF
mercenary water companies, but demands
that scientific examinations be made of ali
public water supplies ''for the purpose Of
ascertaining whether the same are adapted
for use as sources of domestic water sup
plies or are in condition likely to impair
the interests of the public or persons law
fully using the same, or imperil the publ,
health.
The state cannot appropriate the few
hundreds dollars annually needed to an,
object that will bring more profitable re
| suits to its citizens.
Thus far but a portion of the public wa
tor supplies have received attention. No
only should most of the other public sup
| plies be kept under observation, but it /
very desirable to determine by careful
examination in various localities what tn
standard of the ground water in Connect
cut is.
This is the source of supply to wells. A
wells are the water sources of most rurs
population, it becomes a question of n
small Importance to them to know tn
quality of water their we'll afford.

A Curious Habit.

What we have principally 20 contend
against in children are little tricks, which,
scarcely perceptible at first, gradually
grow until habit is formed which will
prove not only a great annoyance, but an
evil that cannot be cured. A case pre-
sents itself in my experience in shy and
nervous girl who. upon entering q room,
always stood at the door. and, pressing the
end of her little finger to the woodwork,
would twist and turn it with screwing
motion for some seconds. The little peeu-
liarity was allowed to pass unnoticed, up-
til now, grown woman, with little ones
of her own, she cannot enter a room nor
face a stranger without the preliminary of
what must appear to onlookers an idiotic
action. What notifications patient care
and watchfulness would have saved this
unfortunate person are incalculable.

WALLINGFORD.

A Nuisance Abated-BaIl Game BE.
tween Wallingfords and Meridens-
His Leg was BrOken-PersOnal.
July 16.-Emory Morse has abated the
nuisance on his Hall avenue lot to the
satisfaction of Burgess D. G. Porter, act
ing chairman of the board of health. 1t
was not deemed advisable during the warm
weather to again open up the heap, and by
covering it with dirt the odor can be done
away with until colder weather sets in.
Then the same can be moved with safety to
another lot.
The bali game between the Athletic asso-
citation team of Meriden and the Walling
fords was not scientific game and abound
ed in errors on both sides. At the begin
ming of the eighth inning the game stood
8 to in favor of the Meriden boys. In
this inning the Wallingfords made a gain
by scoring three runs, leaving the score
to in favor of the visitors. The ninth in
ming was Waterloo for the Meri-
dens, as the Wallingfords got
on to O'Connell and, assisted by
numerous errors on the part of the
visitors, scored twelve runs while the
Meridens only succeeded in getting three
men across the home plate, and the game
went to Wallingford by q score of 10 to II.
Editor Tom Reilly of the Meriden Journal
covered right field for the Meridens, and
made square muff that nearly broke his
heart. The next game will be on Satur-
day with the Waterburys, and the local
team will present Bridgeport battery.
John Backes, while at work for Charlie

1t Was Fortunate, Too, for Wander
bill's Dog Had Disrobed Him.
Officer Lonergan, Mate Kennedy of the
steamer Continental and Patrick F. Della
nay of 1855 State street were doing New
pit Saturday. They wandered down the
cliff walk until 1t got pretty late in the
evening, and then thought to save time
by taking short cut over William K.
vanderbilt's property. They ran afoul of
a large bulldog, however. who wanted to
hold an argument with them. Officer
Lonergan ordered it to move on, but the
dog made the point that the officer had no
jurisdiction in the matter. The bulldog
waxed eloquent in his argument. In his
enthusiasm he took part of Delaney's coat
tail and most of his trousers as memento
Of the visit from the New Haven guests.
The party then stood not on the manner of
going, but went. The darkness covered
Delaney like a mantle until he got to a
tailor's. Delaney goes armed now and it
would be dangerous for any one to play q
joke on him by barking like q dog any
where within pistol shot Of him.
