REUNION OF THE 16th CONN. VOLS.

The twenty-seventh annual reunion of the Sixteenth Regiment, Conn. Vol unteers, was held at Compounce Pond, three miles from the borough of Bris- tol, on Saturday, Sept. 16th. The com mittee of arrangements had provided an old fashion sheep-bake with all the ac- companying fxtings. Eighty-three members were present "to charge" on the substantials.
 Compounce Pond is popular. cozy resort, nestled among the hills of South ington. The sheet of water, for rowing, bathing and fishing, is clear and smooth, ellipsoidal in contour, fed by invisible springs, A fine, though narrow, car riage drive skirts the margin just an even mile in extent. A prohibitory no tice forbids driving only in one direc- tion for fear of facsimile P. & R head on collision.
 After the sumptuous dinner in the open pavilion, with many joke, army reminisence and 'merry -go-round, the business meeting was held in the Hall The secretary and treasurer's report was read and accepted.

JOHN Fl. HURLBURT.

John H. Hurlburt, who died at his home in Bridgeport, Ct., Sept. 11th, was for many years one of the most prominent teachers in North Western Connecticut.
 Educated at Trinity College, he es- tablished at Lime Rock, Ct., in 1865. a private school known as Rocky Dell Institute which for over twenty years ranked foremost among schools of it's kind in this part of the State. During this time he came in contact with a large number of young people, upon whose minds and characters he exerted a powerful influence. Remarkable abil- ity as a disciplinarin combined with kindliness of manner made him both popular and successful in his profession. As an instructor he especially excelled in the line of mathematics, his methods showing strong originality of mind and remarkable clGarness of thought. A majority of the public school teachers in Salisbury and the neighboring towns have been from among his pupils. Keenly interested in all the literary and social questions of the day, his in- fuence upon the intellectual life of the community was decidedly stimulating. He'was closely identified with the edu- cational affairs of the town in which he resided, and he took prominent part in all teachers conventions. Public spirited in a large degree, in 1882 he served as member of the State Legisla- ture, and in 1886 was appointed Collec- tor of International Revenues by the Government. This closed his career as teacher.
 The news of his death at the compara- lively early age of 53, brings to all his former pupils sense of personal loss. His body lies at rest within the shadow of those hills among which he gave the best of his powers to others. More en- during than any monument, ever widen ing, irresistible, the influence he exert ed lives on.

ANCIENT CLAY TABLETS.
How the Writings of the Egyptians We,
 PrAservad For Tina

How the Writings of the Egyptians Were
 Preserved For All Time.
 The clay of which tue Tell Amarna tablets are composed differed greatly in different regions. Dr. Bezold says: "In color the tablets vary from a light to dark dust tint and from flesh color to dark brick red. The nature of the clay of which they are made sometimes indi- cates the countries from which they come. No. 1, draft of letter from Amenophis III to Kallimmasin, is made of finely kneaded Nile mud. Others arc of the dark red clay which Is met with in the north of Syria. Five of Ribadda's letters are written on the yellow clay which Is common on the Syrian coast. The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and Shuardata contain fragments of flint"
 Of the shape of the tablet she says: 1.-The greater number are rectangular, and few are oval, and they differ in shape from any other cuneiform docu- ments known to us. Some are flat on both sides, some are convex on both sides, and some are pillow shaped. Compare the name given to such tablets by the Arabs, mekhadid or pillows
 The tablet, having been kneaded into shape, was inscribed while the clay was damp by the use of wooden style, and the obverse having been written the tab let was supported by some means while the back was in use. In the case of some cuneiform tablets, holes are found in the corners, which were made by pins of wood, on which they rested, so as to pre- vent the written surface from being ob- liberated while the reverse was being in- scribed. But these pinholes do not seem to occur in the present collection.
 Some of the letters are divided into paragraphs by ruled lines. which are, however, not always truly horizontal. The royal letters, which are the most carefully written. have well shaped sym- bols in true horizontal lines, but many of the tablets from Syria seem to have been hastily written and are often very crooked. The care, however, that was taken by the scribe Is evidenced by the corrections which he has introduced of unfinished words, to which syllable or more Is added by insertions between the lines, while in other cases words, or even . whole line, have been erased by smoothing out the writing. other signs having been substituted, or in some cases the space has been left blank.
 When, therefore, translators who havs found difficulty in understanding what was written have supposed that the fault lay with the careiessness of the original scribe. we can only regard such a supposition as indicating the self sui iciency which is common fault among a certain class of modern scholars, who are convinced that if there be any error 1t cannot be their own.-Edinburgh Re view.

An Interesting Calculation.

The age of person and the month in which he was born may be discovered as follows, First you ask him to go to the other end of the room to prevent your seeing what he is going to write. Then you ask him to put down the number of the month In which he was born and multiply 1t by g, then add to the sum, and multiply the latter by 90, add bis age to the product, then deduct 88o, and add 115 to the remainder. Suppose be is 49 years of age and was born in Feb ruary, the computation might stand thus. Two multiplied by equals (, plus 5 equals 9, multiplied by 90 equals 45O, plus 49 equals 4o8, minus 8s5 equals 1s4, plus 115 equals 24o. The last two hg- ures indicate the age-viz, 49-and the first figure (N February. the second month of the year. You simply ask the person to state the result of the calcnla- ton and then declare that he was born In February and is 48 years of age.
 Experiment with this as often as you please, and 1t Is sure to work, provided you do it correctly.-Exchange

After she is IS the world she owns Is about as far away as the Worlds fair Is to most of us, and at 20 she gives up all hope of getting 1t at all. By the time she Is 25, poor thing, she has 8 faint, vague sus- pdcion that there Is great deal of fnsin- oerity in the world, and the thing for her to do is to get position and do something useful. After awhile she gets married to a man who Is not at all the sort of a man she dreamed of. Then she concludes she would be better of in heaven.-Wahpeton CN. D. Globe.
