The ShilIelall,

The shillelah is not mere stick picked up for a few pence or cut casual ly out of the common hedge. Like the Arab mare, its grows to maturity under the fostering care of its owner.
 The shillelah, like the poet, Is born, not made. Like the poet, too, it is a choice plant, and its growth is slow. Among 10000 blackthorn shoots, per haps not more than one is destined to be come famous, but one of the 10000 ap- pears of singular fitness. As soon as discovered it is marked and dedicated for future service. Everything that might hinder its development is removed, and any offshoot of the main stem is skillfully cut off. With constant care it grows thick and strong upon a bulbous root that can be shaped into a handle.- McClure's Magazine.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
The New Law With Regard to Contagioui
 IsDiseases Discussed.


 IsDiseases Discussed.
 The regular meeting of the board of health was held yesterday afternoon. The bills for the past month were ordered paid. A bill which was presented by the town of Waterbury for supplies furnished the pest house from January ' to March Is, 1893, when smallpox patients were chartered there, was taken from the table, where it had lain for several meetings waiting the inspection of Health Officer Robbins. The amount of the bill was S205.40, but Dr Robbins struck out items amounting to S63 2S and the bill less this sum was ordered paid.
 An act passed by the present legislature was generally discussed. The act relates to infectious diseases and makes it obligatory on physicians to report to the health officer, not only cases of smallpox diphtheria and scarlet fever but cholera membranous croup, typhus fever, typhoid fever, measles and leprosy, Children living in houses where any of these diseases are prevalent must not be allowed to attend school and may not re- turn to school without written permit from the health officer.
 The petition from property owners in the vicinity of Dublin street school asking for the abatement of a nuisance in the shape of pool of stagnant water in a lot adjoining the school building. was not acted upon as the board was of the opin- ion that it had no jurisdiction in the matter.

ALercnd About l.ncemnkIng.

LaCemaking is by no means so old an industry as most persons suppose. There is no proof that it existed previously to the fifteenth century, and tho oldest known painting ill which it appears is a portrait of a lady in tho academy at Venice, painted by Caspaccio, who died about l523. The legend concerning the origin of the art k as follows: \ young fisherman of the Adriatic was betrothed to a young and beautiful girl of one of the isles of the lagoon. Industrious as she was beautiful, the girl made a new net for her lover who took it with him on board his boat. The first time he cast it into the sea he dragged therefrom an exquisite petrifed.wrack grass which he hastencd to present to his fiancec. But war breaking out the fisherman was pressed into tho service of the Venetian navy. Tho poor girl wept at the dcpar- ture of her lover and contemplated his last gift to her. But while absorbed in following the intricate traccry of the wrack grass sine began to twist and plait the threads weighted with small beads which hung around her net. Little by little she wrought an imitation of the petrifcation, and thus was created the bobbin Washington Star.

DANBURY, Oct 1.-The big fair appears to have attracted the usual number of crooks to the city. The police at the fair grounds are on the watch continually and q number of the light fingered fraternity have been hustled out of town. 3Neverthe- less quite n number of thefts have been reported. Most of the thefts are the work of pickpockets who make the most of their opportunities in the big crowds which gather daily at the fair grounds. Several persons have complained of the loss of watches and small sums of money, The robbery of the residence of John Chambers on New street in daylight yesterday was the boldest crime that has been committed since the fair opened. The house was ran- sacked from tep to bottom and everything of value that the thieves could carry off was taken. The thieves were evidently amateurs

LilIa HoyIe Murder Recalled.

PUTNAM, Oct 5.-Public interest in the Lilla Hoyle murder mystery at Webster Mass. just over the state line, has been re- vived by the report that in few days n number of arrests will be made in connec- ton with the murder. Deputy Sheriff Clare of Webster has made n number of trips to eastern Connecticut of late and now believes he has solved the mystery surrounding Lilla HOyles death. This crime caused a shock throughout New England six years ago when the body of the young girl was discovered in corn crib. Death had been caused by an un- lawful operation. For n year detectives tried to run down the murderer, but with out success. The young son of wealthy man named McQuaid was arrested for com plicity in the crime, but his guilt could not be established and he was discharged. Now. it is claimed. that enough evidence can be found to warrant arrests, which will probably be made shortly. The man who is said to have been responsible for the girls downfall and induced her to sub init to an operation, is young and wealthy, and is well known in this town and vi cinity.

ENGLANO's COAL FAMINE.
4 Vessel Chartered to Bring Fuel From
 PhiIndeIphia at High FIgurcs.

LONDON. Oct. 5.-The shortage of coal owing to the colliers' strike and the diff culty of transportation, is becoming worse and worse in nearly every coal center in the kingdom. In Dublin, for instance, the stocks will be exhausted in month if i'm portations cease. On the London Coal Ex- change only trifing supplies are offered, snd the demand is strong. The fact that ihe Durham miners have asked for an ad- vance in wages Complicatcs the present situation. A meeting of the miners and mineowners will be held on Monday to discuss the matter. A remarkable sign of the times is the fact that the firm of Simp- son, Spence X Co. of London has chartered n steamer to bring a cargo of coal from Philadelphia, paying l3 shillings and G pence per ton freightage. This is declared to be an unprecedented occurrence.
