-Willimantic Journal: c. R. Newton, the Stafford Springs bicycle racing man, was in town yesterday. He has con- menced training for the seasons work, and rides his first races at Norwich July 4th.
 The Middletown Penny Press adds this to the quota of the snake stories that have emanated from this section this sea- son: Daniel Perkins, who has a farm at Pleasant Valley, had 8 thrilling adventure with a nest of black snakes, Friday last. While at work in the field he came across the female snake and when he attempted to kill her the male came to the rescue and for few minutes there was @ lively fight. Each snake measured fully six feet in length. A female black snake, when attacked, spits something from the mouth which causes one to become death ly sick. MT. Perkins, although sick and faint, succeeded in killing both snakes. The male snake wound itself around his body and MT. Perkins was obliged to hack it with an axe several times before it drop ped to the ground. After the two large snakes had been killed MT. Perkins turued his attention to the twenty young ones. The small snakes were about a foot in length.

A surgeon writing on bicycle riding notes the steady increase of heart troubles among the bent-up pushers whose only aim is to leave the road behind. He mo- tices that in hill climbing the riders often make squirt when near the summit and then as suddenly relax all effort. These strains especially, he states, cannot be safely endured by the heart. It was 8 most unfortunate day for the development of young America when the bent back be- came fad. On all sides the doctors are treating cases of heart weakness due di- rectly to this and other injurious practices. -E0st Hampton NeaOs.

The Hon. Chauncey Depew is man whose purity of life and character have secured for him the respect and confidence of good people everywhere, and for this ances on the pending question of woman's franchise. He has signed the petition in our favor, and when asked whether he had always been friend of the movement, he replied as follows:
 "Well, think must be content to be in the light of a convert. I have seen the error of my ways. That is, I think that times have changed. The position of woman has changed. Woman herself is different in some respects to what she used to be. She owns 8 large amount of prop erty upon which she is taxed. She has become great industrial factor. She has a right to say how she shall be taxed, and under what laws she shall conduct her business. think the beginning of my change of opinion was in Wyoming few years ago. was travelling through the state and met great number of the prom inent men. asked them about the work ings of woman suffrage, and heard nothing but praise for it. found out that my old ideas about all the horrible things which would happen to the home were unfound- ed. l think that woman has right to the suffrage, and that giving it to her will do good rather than harm; so when the question was pending in New York state 1 signed the petition in favor"
 A remarkable case has just been brought before the Massachusetts state board of arbitration which On Duty readers will not fail to appreciate. It is virtually a case of boycott against Congregationalists because of the earnest work of the pastor of that denomination at Medford in the enforcement of the liquor law of the state. By reason of this agitation a hotel was obliged to close. A certain New York firm (the resident member of which was personally interested in the hOteD has since discharged thirty of it's employees, the only reasons given being that they at tended the Congregational church, sup ported the pastors anti-liquor campaign, or traded at stores owned by COngrega- tionalists The situation is not without parallel and the action of the board is awaited with interest.
 The "living pictures" which have spread from New York city theaters, like plague, to other cities, have occasioned the introduction of two bills in the New York legislature and like bills elsewhere, orbidding the public exposure of woman's form without other drapery than tights. Much of the zeal devoted to the legisla- tive attacks on high hats at theaters might better have been devoted to the high kicking. In many theaters the less men are able to see the better for them and all concerned. For theaters as now conduct ed, the higher the hats the better.

A newly married couple on the train at tracted good deal of attention by their peculiar behavior. A lady got on the train at a station and took seat directly in front of them. Scarcely was she seated before they commenced making remarks in loud whispers about her wearing last seasons hat and dress. She was severely criticised by them for some moments. Presently the lady turned around. She noticed at a glance that the bride was old CT than the groom, and without the least resentment in her countenance she said :
 Madam, will you please have your son close the window behind you?"
 The son closed his mouth instead, and the madam did not giggle again until the brakeman hollered out "Lulal"

They gave themselves for their country, and their country is their monument. They could not have and they would not ask nobler. To be killed in battle, or to die of wounds or of disease in hospital, was what the soldier knew was likely to befall him. He volunteered with that in his mind, and when he died thus he but met the fate he ventured for his country's sake. The thing he never thought of was perishing in prison. No one dreamed in there would not be a cartel of exchange for prisoners the last two years of the war, or that if he was captured he would probably perish in prison.

"You wouldn't have believed it possi- ble to blow out candle flame through a brickbat," remarked a celebrated physi- elan, whose penchant is to give scientific research practical beariug. ''It can be done, however, and it illustrates the all pervasive qualities of air. Most rooms are largely ventilated through their walls, and the brick and mortar are merely very rudimentary lungs, which take in and throw out the atmosphere with little hindrance. You may try the experiment yourself. Place a candle on the other side of your brick and use two tunnels, with the flaring ends on the opposite side of the brick bat with the small end of one in line with your mouth and the small end of the other trained on the candle flame. The least breath will make the light flick CT and hearty expiration will extinguish it altogether. Try it and see.-ToJed0 Blade.
 Monsignor Satolli, in his recent advice to the French people of Danielsonville, who have been making strong demand for French speaking priest, expresses a sentiment that cannot be too strongly inn pressed and enforced, too, on the foreign CTS who come to America. "The French Canadians at Danielsonville, he said, "would do we'll to conform themselves in language and customs to the nation to which voluntarily they have emigrated." If this spirit were carried out, if foreign residents made all possible progress in and use of the language and customs of their adopted nation, the stream of emil grafton pouring in upon us would be far more welcome and less dangerous.

President Cleveland has made up his mind to remove Governor Hughes of Ari- zona. Hughes used to be republican. Years ago, when he was attorney-general of the territory, he got into trouble, was investigated. lost his office, and turned democrat. His present trouble, according to 8 Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, is due to his methods of finance and to his care for his family. He began his administration, the cores pondent hears, by giving an office to his wife, an office to his son, and two offices to his daughter.

Exchange: "This," said the Professor of Ancient History to the class of '87 (forty-third century,, lis a portion of a woman's gown preserved in the Metro politan Museum of Antiquities since the nineteenth century. It is valuable both historically and for scientific research, showing, as you will See from these ex- tensive sleeves, that the women of that period had abnormally developed muscles
 "This evidence of physical prowess is found only in a few remaining articles of dress that were worn in that day, but it is corroborated circumstantially by rec ords showing that it was not until that age that women's rights were seriously seriously discussed. Having secured their rights toward the end of the century, they evidently allowed their muscles to degen- crate, and have never, so to speak, been on their muscle again."

Hartford Courant: The fact is the whole outlying country has suddenly be- come part of the city; and when you think that it costs only cents to go to Burnside, West Hartford or Wethersffeld, you realize that the annexation hasn't cost the people great deal. Values have gone up all along these lines and there is every indication of coming boom. To large extent this is justified. We are on the edge of large change in the way of living. There is little excuse longer for the overcrowding of the cities and equally little for the isolation and back wardness of the outlying country.
 The factory hands can hereafter live out in the open, have gardens, and breathe air, if they like it, while the "country man" can have his daily paper every morning, learn what the world is about and run into town daily or weekly (anc every night if he chooses), at almost nc inconvenience whatever. When we come to realize these things, we shall begin tc learn how to live.
 The changes will not come all at once but they will force themselves along There will be deal more of business done in the cities and much closer fa miliarity between the two sections, hith. erto so far apart albeit so near together
 The man from the farm will be in the city far Oftener than he has been. He will find himself inclining to better way of dressing, if he is going to be so ofter running up against other folks; he anc his family will be carrying home books from the public library every day or two There'll be an evening at the the theater say once a week, or perhaps oftener What we call city privileges will be found available for everybody who lives any where near any one of those lines tha you were invited to draw.

(Me.) Telegraph certainly points moral. Would it not be true in many places? The incident is as follows:
 A shoe manufacturer in Portland, being asked to assist in providing bread for the suffering poor, said he would contribute to the extent of 100 sacks of flour and 100 bushels of meal-one sack of flour and one bushel of meal to be given to each man who might be found in Portland who neither kept a dog, drank rum, nor used tobacco, and was in need of bread. The first man has not yet appeared to claim the gift.
 Miss Susan B. Anthony was in Chicago last week and naturally did not escape a reporters interview. When asked as to when the thew woman" was coming, she quickly replied, ''It all depends on what you mean by the term new woman.' The term has become cant phrase, carrying almost as much opprobrium as the term 'woman's rights woman used to imply The new woman,' as the phrase goes, may mean loud, mannish woman, affect ing the bOisterOus conduct of men, with none of the saving graces of her own sex. If that be the new woman I do not wei come her coming. If by the new woman is meant a woman earnest, thoughtful, lofty of purpose, self-reliant and equally well educated with man, why, then, she has come. We have got her in our homes, where she stands side by side with her husband, welcoming his friends on the common ground of intellectual equality, joining in their discussions college bred woman, who can do something more than pour tea when her husband entertains his friends. We havegot the new woman in everything except the counting of her vote at the ballot box. And that is com ing. It's coming sooner than most people think"
