Stray Leaves From Reporters Nots ! Book.
 CHAMBERLAIN makes the balls and Baisden throws them," is the way a man who recently served q term at the state prison expressed himself to the writer the other day, in regard to the alleged cruelty at Wethersfield. In speaker said that Deputy Baisden was a brute. One of his pastimes is to carry a cane to one end of which is affixed a piece of gas pipe about seven inches long, and woe to ths unfortunata who is caught violating the simplest rule while Baisden is on his rounds. The speaker declared that he had seen men felled like an OK by blow from the deputy's cane.

 A NUMBER of the boys and girls in the High school while studying lesson in Latin grammar, the other day, before the opening hour, were testing each other in the declension of pronouns. One of the girls who is general fayorite, and whom every boy in the class delighted in teasing, went todthe blackboard to write out the declension of "hic." She was not very reliable speller, and had habit, by the way, of always taking her pencil of the paper when she had written syllable, and ln this case she had made no exception to the rule.. She went to the board with the fullest as- surance and wrote: Hic, Hug us, t Haec, Hug us, Hoe, Hug us,
 There was general laugh and the little maid blushed scarlet when she un- derstood that it was caused by her division of "hujus." One of the bolder boys offered his services, but just then the teacher was announced.
 EVERY cloud, they say, has a silver lining, and Messrs Reid & Hughes are about convinced that there is consider able truth in the saying. Almost before the smoke had cleared away from the ruins of the Lilley block Mir Hughes re- ceived a telegram from a wholesaler with whom the firm had long done business, instructing them to draw on the latter for $50, ,0OO. It was not neces- sary to do so, as the losses were promptly adjusted by the insurance companies, but nevertheless Messrs Reid 6 Hughes must feel in particularly good spirits to think that they have such friend.

The latest sensation at the London Aqua

from n heighth of SO feet, into a small
tank of water. The people who witness
ed his first performance We're confident
that il would be his last, but the man dis
appointed them by accomplishing his feat
with great case. His method OF striking
the water Is described as follows
He seemed nc first as though he were
going 10 strike the water head straight
hut this Is precisely what be did not do
for MS he came down his legs had come
further over. and when he struck the
water, Il was with his shoulders, exactly
as the diving acrobat strikes the net
The effect WAS almost as though he had
fallen fiat on his back, for the rest OF
his body came smack down on the water
ms soon as his shoulders met the resist
ance Of the surface.
