CHAUTAUOUA INTERESTS,

The Chautauqua meeting, Monday evening, was made exceedingly inter- esting because of large contributions of specimens of native rock and minerals. The principal study during the spring months is geology. Trumbull needs a library building sufficiently large to furnish room for the preservation of any important finds of local interest. Many such would be forthcoming if there was place to put them. If you wish to keep the boys and girls in the country, make home and country life attractive.

MT Barnes is one of the old veterans whose ranks from year to year are growing less and who soon shall all be story of the past, but though dead they shall still live in the minds and hearts of every true American. At the close of the war after receiving an honorable dicharge, Mr Barnes entered the employ of MT Woolson. For several years before the railrood was built he drove the freight to and from Waterbury. Seventeenfyear ago he was put in full charge of the freight and coal business ard in having general supervision of all the outside work. That he has for those many years done tEis honestly faithfully and we'll, you have but to ask MT Wool son, who despite the advanced age of this trusted employee, reluctantly let him go.

 Next Sunday. April 2s, Rev W. H. Waggoner, of the Yale Divinity school, will deliver two addresses on ssThe Mis- sions of the World'' in the Monroe Con- gregational church. At the special re- quest of s. l.. Mershon, president of the Christian Endeavor missionary insti- tute, MT Waggoner brought his map be- fore the Y. F. s. c. E convention at Cleveland, o. MT Waggoner has ap- peared 30 times in three states before seven denominations, and has calls from eight states and the Dominion of Canada. The New Haven Palladium says: ssAn important feature was large map, (the largest in the world), showing clearly the places where missionaries are located. MT WaggOner is an able speaker and by the aid of the map, which he painted himself, brings before his audience the work in such truly delightful and inter- estipg manner that no one can fail to be interested in the hristianIevangelization of the world. The lecture is purely un- denominational. This was the first time that the lecture has been given in New Haven. The map was exhibited at the Christian Endeavor convention iu Cleve- land, o. MT Waggoner is the first in the world to complete such a work as this map, on which there is dot for every missionary"

A SMALL BUBBLE PARTY.

little as the bubble approaches, so that it
will settle on it in the gentlest possible
way. Then, gently again, toss it up and
it will rise timo after time like balloon.
A long table covered with an old blanket
is a fine thing for showing off bubbles.
They can be formed from one end of it to
the other, and prize can DO offered for
tho blower who successfully forms the
greatest number of bubbles through the
whole journey With fan, too, bubbles
can be kept in the air and great variety
of games invented with them.
Bubbles can DO blown to rest on tho
damp edges of cups, and they last longer
in this position than in any other. If they
are put under a glass case so as to be quite
protected from currents of air, the color in
them will settle into regular rainbow
bands, and tho effect is most curious as
well as bewilderingly beautiful.
To do all these pretty things with bub-
bios, however, the Now Orleans Times
Democrat says pipe is not the best thing
for blowing them. A tin horn about eight
inches long and an inch and an eighth in
diameter at tho big end will make bubbles
much bigger and make them much quick
er than any pipe. If you have the horns
family fluted for an inch upward from the
base, they will DO improved, for the irrog
ularitics will hold tho fluid in small
quantities, and tho bubble will DO easier
to start and better fed Such horns can
be made by the dozen at any tin shop for
q few cents.

The committee on street lights was
directed to make inquiries in regard TO

of the present contract, and report on or
before the September meeting. An ap-
preparation Of 500 was asked for in view

Other additional appropriations were
asked for as follows: One thousand dol
lars for repairs on the Spring street school
house, and also ON the Lincoln street
schoolhouse. That the balaL C, overdrawn
on salaries for 1894, amounting to $50 81,
be added to Appropriation for overdrafts.

o'clock Monday night. At that hour It
was II feet above the normal level below
the Lockwood mill, considerably higher
than it has been for several years. For
time things looked serious for some of the
houses at the head of the falls, for many
were surrounded by water and some OF
the smaller buildings were started from
their foundations. There was not much
rise in the water after dark, Monday
night, and gradual falling after mid
night SO that by Tuesday morning the
water was nearly a foot lower. On the
Winslow side the shore was lined all day
with crew of men and boys catching
driftwood and almost a continuous tier

stout rope and chains and not a single log
was lost. Several small washouts are re-
ported in the country roads but thus far
no road is reported impossible.

A CHINAMAN'S ANCESTORS.
On Them Depends Their Descendants
Good or Bad Fortune.

A Chlnaman depends upon his ancestors
for all the good fortune he enjoys. His
wealth, power and happiness, his success
in business and even the beauty and in
telligence OF his children are all due to the
favorable influence of their spirits, and
therefore he worshlps them. A great deal
depends upon the manner and place i'll
which ones ancestors are buried. 1t is u
common practice for a Chinaman to re-
move their bodies from one burial place to
another in case he does not enjoy the pros
pcrity to which he considers himself en-
titled.

DELIGHTFUL BUBBLE BLOWING.
Bubbles That Arc Visions OF Bcauty-fOu
May Toss Them Like Balls In the Air.


The strongest possible fluid for produc-
ing bubbles is mado in this way: Take the
fourth of an ounce of white CASTLE soap.
Cut it up into small pieces and boil three
or four minutes in three-fourths of pint
of water; when the soap is melted and the
water has cooled, add three -fourths of an
ounce of glyccrin. This makes enough of
tho mixture for a bubble party. 1t is bet
ter made tho day before it is used and kept
corked tightly. Tho bubbles arc then such
visions of glorious violet, rose, green, or
ange and blue as cannot be seen in any
other way on this planet.
These bubbles will last half a minute or
more, and one of the prettiest sports in
the world is to toss them into the air like
balls. All that is necessary for this feat is
rough wooden mitten and a little care.
Don't lift tho hand to meet the bubble in
the air, but, on the contrary, sink it a

Crcasey 81 Cummings at their mill in
Manchester, in removing the bark, he

preserved 1t. The handle was four inches
long and the blade about an inch and q
half. All by about three quarters of an
inch were imbeddod in the wood. Mr.
Cummings upon being informed OF the dis
covery, said that he remembered when a
boy, 90 years ago, while in his father
pasture where the log was cut, that he
stuck the identical knife into pine tree,
but could not again find the place. The
handle was rotted of. The blade is OF
peculiar shape. This will 90 to show how
