The Instinct of Locality.

LrSASl1u
 An interesting experiment was tried by a Maine farmers family, not long since, with a mud turtle, which had been brought to the house from s small pond quarter of mile away. It was noticed that when Set free the reptile travelled of In the di- rection of the pond c'going back home, !" said one of the laisl. and this led them to put him to the test He WAS tried under a great variety of circumstances which might tend to confuse even 6 mud turtle of uncommon mental capacity; but put him down in whatever way they would, or any where, he would instantly turn his stubby nose straight for the pond and walk of with every appearance of one who knows he Is right and intends to go ahead. He l evidently had the same instinct or super | natural knowledge SO often observed i1 pigs, dogs and cats, which will take 8 bee line for home when they could not possibly know Its direction by any power of obser- | vation possessed by human beings.
 It may not be auniss to note in connection with the turtle incident the experiments tried by an eminent English naturalist with bees, which possess the same peculiar knowledge of direction. He took bees iron, their hive and carried them In a close box | by circuitous course to a point at a con siderable distance away: but on liberation they would start straight for the hive. After testing this repeatedly he stopped on the way while carrying the box and whirled il rapidly around his head & number of times Then whsn liberated the bees were con. fused and flew about in various directions not knowing where to go. From this he attributed the faculty of flying strait fol home the result from the keen attention paid by the bses to the direction taken while they were being taken away, and whichfths whirling of the box upset com pletely.

NOT JUST LIKE ORIGINATES.

NOT JUST LIKE CINCINNATUS.
 One of the most enthusiastic and spon- taneous school meetings that have been held this week was held last evening in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. The gravity of the situation WAS made fully manifest by able speakers and some equally able resolutions. It was made perfectly plain that this is no time for 8 change in the membership of the Board. And the reason why this Is so was also made perfectly plain. It Is because the three gentlemen in whose honor the meet ing was held want to be reelected. There has never been time yet when they were seeking for renominstion that seemed to them favorable for 8 change. And this time is especially unfavorable in view of their esgsrnees to be re elected and theim- portant work they have in hand. There is work now that cannot be safely in trusted to anybody bat them. If they should be called to a better world than this, or called by the people to leave the Board the work would not go on and New Haven's educational interests would fall into permanent decay. Therefore and whereas, they should be elected as long as they can be. And when they can't be we should give up trying to keep our magnih- join ourselves to the Montowese school district.
 We have recently been called lepidopter- ous, malicious, mischievous, sneaking, B wet nurse and 8 professional kicker, but nothing has 80 lacersted our feelings ss the discovery that we have not as many noble Romans in this city as we supposed. Yesterday morning we drew 8 pleasing picture of the three limitations of Cincinnstus that we felt sure would be- given here last evening. It did us good to imagine the fine scenes which would greet the eyes of the commit tee when they aided the Office to Seek and find the Man. But slasl The three gentle men who were nominated are not like Gin cinnatus. They didn't stay at home and blow in peace regardless of office. They were on hand to make sure that the office shouldn't get away from them, and they made neat little speeches indicative of their gratitude and their anxiety. So we wasted our time in likening them to Cincinnatus, and ascribed to New Haven an honor which she does not merit But If we are as hopelessly wrong as some of our es teemed, genial, polite and ssgacious con- temporaries say we are such little blun l der as that won't count.

Equality In the French Army.

t4C &AINAINr4
 The first and most salient point In the French army seen from within is the mix ture of social ranks. Now, this mixture, which might in many societies be a source of weakness, may be said here to be one of the principal csuses of the recuperatlon of the country. IL is, l believe, unique experiment to lay the militia law equally upon the shoulders of every cItizsn, of whatever rank he may be.
 The nearest approach to the French uni versal consoription ia to be seen in Gsrma- ny, but even there the absolute equality of men before the law is far from holding good. Promotion from the ranks is almost unknown; the rich who can afford a uni versity education for their sons and who can pay & sum of money to the govern ment, exempt them from all serious soldier ing. These young men pass & few weeks in barracks and sfterwATd attend a specl- fled time of drill, while they are allowed 10 lodge outside quarters, and to follow their ordinary civil occupations in ihe universi- ty. This lasts, If I am not mistaken for one year after which term they pass into the reserys ss officers.
 Under the French law every man with | out exception serves in the army for Rt | least one year During that year he Is \ EAANaA1 "~+AAI&~ social rank, If he has one, Is completely ig- | nored; the officers who command him re- | gard merely his efficiency and his faithful | ness 10 duty, and if any difference is made

THE NOBLE LORDS,

The Lords of England came out in full force last week to vote against the Home Rule bill, snd the impression ths great company made was not very favorable. There were four hundred of them, more than hundred more than the voting list of the House of Lords has ever recorded before, and there was 8 fine opportunity to see what English Lords are. The Lon don correspondent of the New York Sun describes the spectacle ss appalling, No one, he eays, studied the four hundred figures sitting upon the plush benches without suffering almost death blow to his faith in human nature, and without feeling his admiration of British institu- tions throttled by a newborn contempt. And he adds: English and American read CTS are familiar with the current caricatur- ing of the average British peer as g repul- sive creature with slopipg forehead and retreating chin. No general opportunity was ever offered for putting the indictment to the test until this week It must etand. It Is sbundantly proved that composite photograph of those members of the House of Lords who hold their seats by inherit anoe, not by appointment, would be the psrsonifcation of weakness, mental, moral and physical, self-induleence, sel6shness, bigotry and intolerance
 The London correspondent of the New York Times saw the funny side of the show. and he said: Apparently any elderly farmer wearing a cover coat with side pockets could pass freely in and take his seat without question. This bucolic eff feet covered the whole sssemblage In de- ference to the occasion, all wore black coats, but their sunburnt, heavy faces, huge red hands, and awkward pastures kept perpetuslly suggesting that they ought instead to be In tweeds and gaiters. This effect of hayssed was by no means confined to appearances. No tub thump. ing demagogue could have wished for g | more srtless, uneophisticated audience They laughed wildly at bald old elemen tary jokes which even the drivers of four | wheelers wesried of 8 decade ago. They stared at such speakers as strove to dis cuss the Home Rule bill on the grounds of logic, law, and constitutional precedent But when cheaper sort, like Cranbrook rose and simply went for Gladstone al knave, liar, traitor, and lunatic, and spa on the Irish, tramplsd them under foot a scoundrels, murderers, allen scum ana filth, then they believed out great voIley of "hear, heari" like the roar of their ow1 prize bulls at home. They 1istsned witt obvious amazement to warnings such & Spencer gently hinted and Rosebery blunt ly thrust at them, that their order itsel
 was on trial and stood in jeopardy. l
 seemed to them absurd.

FASHION NOTES.
Consider Yourself as You Would

Consider Yourself as You Would n
 Picture.
 For the very young girl or the woman whose figure retains a girlish lack of roundness the neck should never be cut low. The opening may be as wide at the shoulders as the neckline permits, and a spruce little ruffie isring slightly from the edge of the neck on to the shoulder adds to the apparent width there. The line across the lower edge of the neck should be straight one to suggest width also, and If it is made by tucking in of lace, let the lace stand out 8 little, sprucely. Below this the neck finish may be carried down In a point. Thus the apparent cut is really lower than the amount of neck actually shown. From the finish of the edge of the neck let z soft ruffie fall straight, to call attention

from the lack of curve. Such 8 neck is low enough to give the required dressy or formal effect to 8 gown, yet the se verity of outline Is relieved by the detail and elaborateness of the gown itself. Consider yourself es you would a picture. Some pictures want a frame that shall su- borninste itself entirely to the beauty of the picture itself, while satisfactory effect is in another case secured by making frame and picture together produce an effect, In which the frame Is after sll the impor- tsnt feature.
 No such picture Is the accompanying one, however. Such a sweet, young face as that shown could never be subordina. ted to its environment, and to the mas culine mipd frame of any sort would be necessary. But every woman will sppre- ciate that this face is tsstefully topped, and to its own enehantment by the round hat of yellow fancy straw. The hats brim is bent to form two points. one be- hind and one in front, and on the outside of the brim at the left side is @ pompon of red and pink roses from which rise two
 black quills. A similar pompon of roses
 without the quills garnishes the back and | rosettes of green velvet ribbon are put on | either side of the crown. FLoRETrE.
