Character In the Mnlk.

To the attentive eye none of the ordi-
nary gestures or movements betrays pc
culiarities of individual character more
plainly than the gait-the sailors roll
ing, the soldiers stiff, the countryman's
joltihg gait are Immediately recognized.
Slow steps, whether long or short; sug-
gest gentle or reflective state of mind
as the case may be, while, ON the con-
trary, quick steps seem to speak Of agi-
tation and energy. Reflection is revealed
in frequent pauses and walking to and
fro. backward and forward. The direc-
ton of the steps. wavering and follow
ing every changing impulse of the mind,
inevitably bet.ays uncertainty, hesita-
ton and indecisiOn.
The proud step is slow and measured;
the toes are conspicuously turned out,
the leg is Strengthened. La vanity the
toes are rather more gracefully turned,
the strides little shorter, and there is
very often an affectation Of modesty.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion or mystery.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

On the first consignment of seidlitz
powders to the capital of Delhi the
monarch was deeply interested in the ac-
counts of the refreshing box. A box
was brought to the king in full court,
and the interpreter explained to his maj
esty how it should be used. Into a COB
let he put the twelve blue papers, and
having added water, the king drank il
off. This was the alkali, and the royal
countenance expressed no sign of salts
faction. It was then explained that In
the combination of the two powders lay
the luxury, and the twelve white pow
ders were quickly dissolved in water,
and as eagerly swallowed by his ma
jesty.
With shrek that will be remem-
bered while Delhi is numbered with the
kingdoms the monarch rose stared, ex-
ploded and in his full agonies screamed
''Hold me down. then rushing from the
throne fell PROSTATE on the floor. There
he lay during the long continued effer-
vescence Of the compound, squirting like
10000 pennyworths Of imperial pop, and
believing himself III the agonies of death,
a melancholy and hunnliating proof that
kings are mortal.-Indianf Mirror.

A Small Newsboy and a Big Fireman
Eaclr Undergo an Operation.
Late one evening man was seated in
the receiving room of one Of thesdispen-
saries in the lower part OF the city. He
was talking to a Young surgeon who had
charge of the room. and the conversa-
tion turned to the subject Of the courage
shown by young folks as compared with
that of adults.
Its all besh,N said the visitor. "about
child standing pain better than man.
Why. it stands to reason
"Hullo." says the surgeon. What's
this?'
"It's me-"
The visitor turned and saw two bare
footed urchins, one about eight. and the
other perhaps n year younger. The elder
came III carrying his companion, whom
he carefully laid ON the lounge. Then
he raised himself and said.
"Me and Dannie re newsboys, aud
just now he stepped on busted bottle
in de park and cut his foot"
And you carried him all the way
from the park here on your backy"
yep"
The doctor had washed the blood from
the foot and disclosed a deep. ragged cut
about three inches long He carefully
washed and dressed it and was about TO
thread his needle TO take few needed
stitches when the patient spoke up for
the first time:
Are you goin TO sew it, docgn
Eyes. my little man. II can't heal
without it,"
"Oh-h-h-h."
He lay.back. and after one suppressed
groan the tears which trickled down
his cheeks alone told the story OF the
pain. The sole of the foot of an ordi-
nary New York newsboy is not very
easy thing for even the sharpest needle
TO pierce, and the pain of the operation
was much increased. While it was go
ing on member of the New York fire
patrol enteredIand sitting himself in
chair waited with evident imnatience
for his turn to arrive The sewing fin-
ished, the foot was bandaged, and the
Young Styrax took up his burden.
"How far have you TO gog' asked the
doctor

1t was full half mile to Oliver street,
but the youth took up his burden cheer
fully.

The patrolman was magnificent

broad and muscular.

hosses, and they started and threw me

added as he held out the member. 1t
was considerably swollen. To end the
cause of the swelling the doctor began
to.run his fingers along the injured part,
but he had hardly begun when his wrist
was seized in grip like iron.
"Hold on there, doc: that hurts!'
'Of course it does, but / have to find
ont what's the matter"
Again he tried, and again he was pre-
vented.
Glow do you think / can fix your
hand when You won't let me find out

began.
"Hold his arm, couple Of you" said
the surgeon to the attendants, who had
come in, attracted by the noise. The
mans arm was held aad il was found
that the, handahad been merely sprained

BranGord Man Drowned and Four Others
 Have a Narrow Escape.
 Charles Redden, aged thirty-five, a well known resident of Branford, was drowned late yesterday afternoon in the sound off Branford Point by the up setting of his boat. Four others were also thrown into the water, but were rescued. Redden's body was recovered later at Double Beach. He leaves a widow and four children.
 As James Betts of East Hartford was rowing up the Connecticut river yester- day afternoon with several companions, he discovered the body of man lodged against some bushes in shallow water at point one-third of mile below the old Colts ferry. The body was that of a man about forty years old, as well as could be judged. It was about five feet six inches in height, had black hair and good teeth. The features were so swollen and discolored that it would be impossible to recognize them. The coat and vest were of black diagonal or some similar cloth, the trousers of brown with gray stripes half an inch wide. There was a ready made cravat, the de- sign being a blue stripe across 8 gray body. A blue flannel shirt, a gray undershirt and brogans completed the description. Nothing but a coarse comb and some matches were found in the pockets, except sand, with which the clothes were full. =@
 A sailor on a Bridgeport oyster steamer which arrived at New Haven Saturday, reported to the police that he had seen body floating in the water near the entrance to the harbor. It is thought that the body may be that of Max Bentz, who was one of the ill-fated fishing party lost off Morris Cove on April 9, but up to last night no action was taken to recover the body.
 Patrick Murphy, a middle aged man of Danbury, had his leg broken while drunk yesterday. He limped around all day and when he was taken to the hos pital last night the broken bones pro- truded through the flesh. It was nec- cessary to amputate the leg.
 ! Bernard Lavin, aged 28, Danbury natter, became suddenly insane last night and cut his throat with a razor. He then attempted to kill his sister, but she escaped. Lavin then rushed from the house and jumped into we'll thirty feet deep. He was instantly killed.
 A ship carpenter employed at Palmer'l yard in Noank, fell down the hatchway of barge in process of construction yesterday, and was instantly killed. Int man sustained fall of fifteen feet, anC the accident was caused by his stepping backward to the hatchway, to avoid { guy rope. The man was but very re gently employed, and his name is no known.

Cathedral Souvenir.

Of all those connected in any way with the conservation of St Joseph's cathedral, none could have felt a more pardonable pride in the success of the occasion than Father O'Donnell. The arrangement of details was left almost entirely in his hands and the elaborate ceremonial at all the many services of Sunday was carried out, according to the rubrics and Roman Pontifical, under his immediate supervision. This alone would have been creditable to the young priest, but when we take into considera- tion that the selection of participating ecclesiasts and much of the detail con nected herewith and the preparation of an appropriate literary souvenir of the occasion were given into his charge we can arrive at some conception of the herculean task imposed upon him. It is with a full realization of the compli- cated details committed to him that the Connecticut Catholic compliments and congratulates Father O'Donnell on the remarkable success of his labors and ex- presses it's conviction that Bishop McMahon and the priests of the Episco- pal residence, on whom fell the burden of detailed work, second most heartily every word of commendation that is uttered for his part in the consecration of St Joseph's cathedral.-Catholic The "souvenir" is for sale at Martin Bergin's.

AMUSEM ENTS.
ForepauRh,s Circus.


 Truthful always the advertising being done by the Adam Forepaugh shows for this year, 1899, would severely test the confidence of the readers and beholders if they did not know that they had never before been deceived by the announce ments made by these great shows. But this year they are advertised that they will exhibit so much more than they ever did before ;'that they are gO7 much larger, grander and better than not only they, but all other shows have ever been, but at first the suspicion is naturally aroused that the shows are de- pending upon their always heretofore unassailing reputation for veracity and honesty to make tbe public believe what they say and patronize the shows in such numbers..as to make them SO much money that the proprietor need not care what people may think of him in the future. The show will be in Waterbury on Saturday, May 2S.

MAJOR OF THE SECOND.
NTerIden Is in Favor of Captain Pearne
 of NIlddletOwn,

of NIIddletOwn.
 Speaking of the vacancy on the Second regiment staff, Lieutenant Sears of New Haven said: "New Haven has five of the ten companies in the regi- ment, Meriden two, Middletown one, Wallingford and Waterbury one each, and yet New Haven is not represented on the staff. Colonel DohertY and Lieutenant Burpee are both Waterbury men and we think New Haven should have the rank of major. Middletown wishes to have Captain Pearne pro noted to that rank, and Meriden seeks the same rank for Captain Bohen. But New Haven will be represented on that staff. Ex-Captain Callahan or some other New Haven man will be the major on that staff. We have the biggest representation in the company, as much as all the other towns put together, and we think that we should have at least one representative on the staff. The major is very likely to be a New Havener."
 In relation to the promotion of Cap tain Bohen of Meriden, the captain says that while he feels exceedingly gratified to his friends for their kind wishes for his advancement, he would not, under any condition, accept the office. The appointment, in CaptaIn Bohen's opin- ion, should go to Captain Pearne of Middletown, who is in every way fitted for the position and is also in direct line of promotion.

 This City.
 s NAUGATUCK, May 16.-An alarm of fire yesterday morning at 5:20 called fire on Main street in the Andrews building, adjoining Nichols block. The fire was started in the back entrance way leading to O'Loughlin's saloon, on the second story, burning up through to the third floor, which was occupied as a store room for some thirty bedroom suits by Colonel Tolles. The fire also burned through the door castings leading into his show rooms on the second floor. The stock was damaged a good deal by the dense smoke and water. The first floor of Andrews building, occupied by Sanford as a harness and trunk store, was burned some in the rear, while the stock was soaked with water. The second floor, O'Loughlin's, contained bar and two billiard tables in front with card room in the rear. The upper floor fell on the billiard tables and it was necessary to put stream through the roof to get at the fire above. IkChief Champion and assistant were present and not only showed good Judgment in quenching the flames, which bid fair at one time to be dis astrous, but in the care displayed in pre- venting damage to the large stock of Colonel Tolles. The insurance is carried by companies represented by J. B. Sweeney here, and Atwater of New Ha- ven. A German living in the Nichols block, says there were parties in the hallway of his rooms who struck him when he went, out, and threatened to sst fire to the building. This town seems to have 8 good many fires lately in saloons, and they always come on 8 Sunday morning. It is difficult to tell as yet the actual loss, which is fully covered by insurance.
