A Giant Chestnut Tree-

Probably the largest chestnut tree in Connecticut stands in the town of Mans field on the land of MT. Whipple Green. It was pointed out to me by MT. Nathan Starkweather. We visited it on Aug. 27, 1890. It is in an open pasture, about three-fourths of mile east from Mans field Station, perhaps fifty rods from the house of MT. Green and not far from the travelled road. A small brook runs a short distance from the tree. The circumference is twenty-three feet at four feet from the ground. It is heavily buttressed all around, and the trunk is apparently sound. Four large branches have been sent out; the lowest, ten feet from the ground, measures sixteen feet four inches in circumference and ex- tends toward the northeast. The cir conference of the buttresses, or rather of their roots, exposed above the ground is fifty-four feet.
 Some of the large and high branches have been broken, the result probably of severe snow or ice storms, so that it is not perfectly symmetrical. The di- ameter of the spread of the branches from the northeast to the southwest is eighty-three feet, and from the north west to the southeast 100 feet. MT. Starkweather estimates the height to be eighty feet. It is a noble specimen of the American chestnut, which has with stood many years of winds and storms and promises to live many years yet un- less attacked by the woodman's ax. Let tns hope he will spare that tree.--Gurdon ". Russsu Ia Hartford Tiuss.

Poughkeepsie Bridge Plan

The deposits of bonds at Philadel-
 phia, under the Poughkeepsie Bridge
 plan have been heavy since the commit tee issued it's announcement to the se-
 curity holders, and it is believed that nearly all of them will deposit their se- curities under the plan proposed by the committee. It is said that the bonds which are now being deposited will be used by the purchasers under foreclo- sure, and that tle committee will buy in the property and turn it over to the Reading Railroad Company on about the same conditions as those contained in the lease of the property to the Read ing, aud number of conferences have been held lately for the purpose of talk ing steps to protect their interests. It is probable that the dissenting bond holders will make some attempt to buy the property in case foreclosure pro- ceedings are begun. They represent only minority, however, and their ef- forts will be of no avail. The reorgan- ization committee and the Reading man. agement are in sympathy, and the plan proposed by the committee will, it is said, be carried out.-Winsted Citizen.

A Story About the Reading Deal.

When Asa Packer died he left $15,. 900, ,000 invested in the Lehigh Valley railroad with the recommendation that it be allowed to remain there for an in- definite period. As is known, MT. Packer left but one child, daughter. Some years ago she married Charley Cummings, popular Lehigh Valley conductor, but who was poor and was not favorably received by some of the relatives. Cummings, believing him. self the representative of the Packer es- tate, sought favor with the active man. agement and attempted to advance him. self to the presidency of the road.
 These advances were repelled, how. ever, and the young man felt deeply the snub he received from President Will. bur. He told them that he would get even with them, and now he has done it by turning over to Q rival corporation the president, directors, managers, em. ployees and the entire equipment of the Lehigh Valley. Cummings has had his revenge, and not only that, but he is to be the right hand man of President Nc. Leod in the management of the great Port Reading road.
 MT. and Mrs. Cummings have been for several years enjoying their enor- nous revenue from the Packer invest ment in the Lehigh Valley. They have a sumptuously furnished private car and have travelled over the whole coun- try in the most elegant style. Being a practical railroad man, Cummings has, since his fortunate marriage, been anx- ious to become prominent in railroad management, but until now President Wilbur, it is said, has been in the way. -Wilkesbarre Times.

The Daily Work of a Congressman.

An exchange says that to give an idea of the daily routine of a congressman, . member of the House kept record of one days work. the result of which may be condensed as follows: At eight o'clock breakfast; 830 opened mail. Read upwards of 90 letters on all imag- inable subjects, mostly requests of vari- ous kinds from his constituents, often necessitating personal visits or writing to the different government offices. Then in the members own language: 'After this go to the committee work. There is different committee for every day in the week, with subcommittee work besides, and on Saturday, besides several sub committees to look after, have various departments to visit At 12 o'clock entered the House, intro duced bills, chased around after the speakers eye, listened to debates, took part Tn generous legislation, answering letters between times, answering roll calls, and received visits from large number of constituents and other per sons who called me out by card. Five minutes is allowed for lunch mean while, and at six o'clock I dine At 2 o'clock l again return to my mail and to newspapers and to pamphlets and 8 world of other printed matter.

Thoroughly censorious people are com monly obvious to their failing and par ticularly given to rebuking evil speaking An eminent Canadian lawyer now practic- ing in Toronto tells this story in illustra- tion of the foregoing truth:
 When I was young my best client was a wealthy old lady noted for saying caustic things about her acquaintaEces. On a Sun day morning, when l was staying at her house, she vilified one of her neighbors, named Stamford, without stint.
 By way of changing the subject l pro posed to read to her from volume of ser mons had happened to bring with me. She assented. I started at random, found a misleading text, and when too late, dis covered that was in the middle of a ser mon on the government of the tongue.
 Twas afraid she would think had se- lected it to admonish her, yet l dared not stop for fear of seeming to make the of fense more pointed. So on l read to the end, pretty sure that my reading would cost me client worth thousand dollars a year to me But when I ended she said: "Thank you, NIT. -. It is an excellent sermon, and would fit my neighbor Stam- ford to T."-Youth's Companion
