dition TO doing $1,000 worth of work
on the public roads at au estimate of
nine cents a cubic yard. This farm

the county during the year.
The manager will have fully a
thousand bushels of corn aud cousid-
cradle meat to sell, and will meet the
current expenses and make pry-
ment ON the land from the proceeds

State convicts, and is the very sensl-
BILE aud simple solution of the prob

Love Blossomipg too Late.

There, is a great host Of weary
men and women toiling on through
life toward the grave who most sorely
need Just now the cheering words and
helpful ministries which we can give.
The incense is gathering to scatter
about their coffins; but why should it
not be scattered in the hard paths
on which their feet today are
treading? The kind words are lying
in mems hearts uneXpressed, tremb-
ling on their tongues unvoiced, which
will be spoken by and by when
these weary ones are sleeping; but
why should they not be spoken
now when they are needed so much,
and when their accents would give
such cheer and hope? The flowers
are growing to strew on their graves /;
but why not cut them now to brighten
dreary lives and dark paths? Many a
good man goes through life plain,
plodding, living obscureIy, yet living a
true Christian life, doing many a
quiet kindness to his neighbors,
and friends, and seldom hearing a
word of commendation Of praise. The
vases filled with the incense of affec-
ton are kept sealed. The flowers are
not cut from the stems. One day
you will stand by his coffin, and there
enough kind things are said to
have frightened every hour of his
ife, if only they had been said at
the right time. There are enough
fowere piled opon his casket to have
kept his chamber filled with fragrance
all through his years, if only they
had been sent day by day. How this
heavy heart would have thanked God,
if, in the midst of his tolls, burdens
and struggles, he could have heard
few of the words of affection and
approval that are now wasted on
ears that hear them not How much
happier he would have been in his
weary days if he had known how
many generous friends he had?, But,
poor man he had to die before the
apprehension could express itself.
Then the gentle words spoken over his
cold form he could not hear. The
love blossomed out too late.

The Disuse of the Earring.

The disuse Of the earring is not
vet quite universal among the rising
generation, but the ornament in
question has disappeared wholly from
the ears of the, fashionable and better
bred young women and girls.
It is, we think, not too much to say
that in New York, at least, jewelry in
the ear of one Of this class would cause
her to be regarded much with the same
feeling that she would arouse if her
cheeks showed unmistakable signs
of artificial crimson. What Is true of
the girls of more careful training
and unboubted social position is
more or less true of the girls Of
the great middle class. Some Of
these, however-and it is to be regret
ted-still affect the jeweled cara
bararic custom little better, except
for conventional sanction, than that
kindred bit of barbarism, the jeweled
nose. We are glad to be able to say,
though, that for the most part the
wearing of jewelry in the ear Is re-
legated to the tenement house districts.
What we have said apples wholly to
young women and girls-not to, the
women of middle and advanced age.
Reforms usually begin with youth.
and this is q reform that entities the
present generation to the respect
and honor Of all intelligent minds.
This reformation has been going
on but very little while-a few years
at most, but its progress has been
so rapid that we venture the predic-
ton that the incoming century will
not find fifty per cent Of the American
women with their ears mutilated
for the purpose of barbaric
ornamentation, and perhaps not
twenty per cent actually wearing it.

To make life as successful as you can
you should not 60 away by yourself
and say thst you will live good life.
and then do nothing else. To cherish
sci is not the way to do service. You
must lose self. Make yourself so
strongly part of the world that you
influence all the other parts, and the
more strongly cement them together.
Take in some other life. Serve 1t and
show it that there is divine image
hidden in it. Develop that image, and
in 80 doing you beautify your own life.
The sources of weakness are not in
our religion, but in ourselves. The
man affirm purpose and opinion is
everywhere respected, Definiteness in
teaching and in Christian life is a
necessity of the day.

A Large A se1nbly of Borrowing Friends
 Annawan Lodge Attends in n Body.
 The funeral services of the late Ste
 phen L. Usher took place yesterday af-
 ternoon at his late home in West Ha-
 ven, and despite the very indictment
 weather the house was filled with sor-
 rowing friends, included among whom
 were many prominent citizens of West
 Haven and many from New Haven, who
 had assembled to pay the last tribute
 to the sleeper, man who for years had
 been one of the most prominent in de-
 veloping the west shore and to whose foresight and sagacity large share of the prosperity and prominence which
 Woodmont enjoys as a quiet and or derly summer resort is due. Mir. Usher's death is much regretted by the resi- dents and property owners of Wood mont, he having been So useful and eff1- ciet citizen and man moreover, quiet and unassuming and at the same time a citizen of rare intelligence and versatility of talent The Rev. MT Squires Of the Congregational church, West Haven, of1iciated and paid a glowing yet very appropriate tribute to the deceased, speaking of his quiet worth and the loss the town had sus- tained in the death of so enterprising a citizen. There was fine singing by quartet choir composed of Mrs. s. S. Thompson, Mrs. F. G. Bllnn, MT. George Smith and MT. Frank Langdale, all of | this city. They sang beautifully three | very appropriate selections. Present | in the assembly was a large representa- | ton of Annawan lodge, F. and A. M, of | West Haven, which conducted the ser vices at the grave, Worshipful Master George E. Bailey officiating. There were lovely tributes of flowers, among which was a large pillow of choicest flowers from the widow of the de- and which was inscribed, "Hus- band" There was also an exuuisite wreath inscribed Uncle, from Lee and Earle" two nephews of the deceased. After the services at the home the remains were taken to Oak Grove cem- etery, West Haven, where they were laid at rest The funeral was under the supervision of Messrs. Stahl & Hegel of this city, MT. William F. Stahl having charge of the ceremonies. The bearers, six in number were all mem- bers of Annawan lodge.

Bear and Panthers Galore and Deer in
 Many Thousands.
 | From the Portland Morning 0regonian.l It would pay some one who is fond of sport and equal to descriptive writing of sporting matters to take a tour | through the mountains and hills of
 southern oregon and hear the stories told of hunters who are residents there.
 The elk are not abundant, though some
 are found In the mountains. The grizz-
 ly bear used to be thereabouts, and in
 recent visit to Umpqua I listened to
 recitals of old-time adventurers when
 the grizzly flguered as a holy terror.
 One story was of eighteen shots poured into bruin before he was overcome. The cinnamon bear is yet found, and the black bear Is common.
 Bear stories are not always of serious encounters, but partake of the ludicrous at times. Some thirty years ago had an encounter with a modest-looking black bear, who stood up and looked at me while, when I was prospecting alone among the Blue mountains. up Powder river. The bear was surprised to see me and seemed to wonder what was about in his dominions. The meeting was quite unexpected on my part as well. for I had lost no bear and had no especial desire to find one. had not even a gun along to point at him, so, with a conservative tendency, I turned and ran far away and not finding any disturbance, nor hearing anything coming, took alook astern, but saw no bear. Stopping to take breath, I noticed something black waddling away, and sure enough there was my bear running faster one way than l could the other. Since then l have doubted the moral courage of ordinary bears to face an ordinary white man. and taken on probation many bear stor- ies--even some I have written myself,
 There are bears among the mountains | of Rogue river and the Umpqua, and the stories I hear very often coincide | with my own experience. Bears are l not often dangerous unless you ag- gravate them, and ten times out of | eleven will fold their tents like the Arab | and as silently steal away-if you will | stand and look at them. But the bears | are there all the same, and if any of | your readers have lost any such stock | there is the place to go to look for them.'
 The Cascades and the hill ranges that i'll the interval, with the coast ranges that come down to the very surf line of the Pacific, constitute an almost un- explored wilderness, where the wild ami nals roam undisturbed.

Death of Warren Robinson For Many Years
 We'll Known New Haven Builder--A
 Sketch of His Career.
 In the death of Warren Robinson,
 which occurred yesterday noon, clti-
 zen of sterling worth of character and
 one who was for years a prominent New
 Haven builder, has passed away. Mr.
 Robinson had been an invalid for the
 last eight years, protracted i'll health
 compelling him to relinquish business.
 A large part of that time he had been
 an invalid confined to the house and
 had suffered much. When first pros
 trated it was thought he could not re-
 cover, but owing to his natural vigor and strength of constitution, and reg
 ular and temperate life the lamp of life long held out to burn, and even up to the last year he was able occasionally to ride out and take short journeys into the city and suburbs. Last Saturday, however, he was taken critically ill and failed steadily until death came to his relief. He died of a complication of kidney, heart and other troubles. He was conscious to near the end. MT. Robinson was for about thirty years engaged in business as a master carpenter builder here. He was native of Mansfield, Conn.,, where he lived until he was about twenty-one He learned the trade of a carpenter and later went to Worcester, Mass, where he learned the trade of mill wright. Afterwards he lived in Charles town, Mass, for time. Later he went to Ohio and served as superintendent of construction in the building of rail- road from Cleveland to Cincinnati, one of the first roads in that section.
 Later he resided for several years in Janesvllle, Wis, and built quite num- Der of houses and other buildings there. About 1863 he removed to New Haven. He was a member of the Church of the Redeemer, and one of the old members of that church. He leaves wife to whom he was married about forty four years ago, and four sons and three daughters. His sons are L. w. Lobln- son, the we'll known New Haven archi- l tect; Jean, who is an engineer on the Mexican Central railway; Lucius, who is general superintendent of the Pitts burg. Pa., Coal and Iron company, and | who is assistant superinten- dent for the same corporation. Two of the daughters are teachers in New Ha- | ven schools. and the youngest is Mrs | Pitcher of Brooklyn, N, Y. Mir Pobin- son was a lineal descendant of the fa- nous Rev John Robinson, who was leader of the Pilgrim fathers during their stay in Holland, and on his side he was relative of the late ex-Governor Morgan of New York. was seventy-one years of age, and had resided at No. 255 Ferry street for many years, Ills office and joiner shop were for many years on Orange street. nearly opposite the old savings bank.
