LAST year 81 towns in Connecticut
were engaged in improving their roads,
and now so towns are reported to
have joined the movement. The inn
provement made is thorough and
scientific. The cost is borne equally
by the state, the county and the mu-
nicipality.

The latter part of last week an
$8 suit of clothing was missed from
the counter in the Washington
Commercial Co.'S store, it having
been abstracted by some light
fingered shop-lifter. Thursday
Clerk Miller, while standing in
front Of the store, recognized the
suit, which was of a peculiar pat
tern, walking down the street on
young man of about Is years of age.
On speaking to the boy about the
coincidence the young fellow ex-
planned that he had purchased the
suit of stranger, paying $2.4O for
the same. He told very straight
forward story, and as others knew
of the transaction, no suspicion
attached to him, although he had
to deliver up the suit, as it was
positively identified. To this oper-
alton the boy raised serious OBJ
lection, as he believed that in pay
ing the stranger $2.40 he had OBJ
tanned absolute title to the suit.

But the uplifted switch awed him

Fishes Eating All His Meadow Grass.

A rancher, whose place is on the
bottom along the Willamette slough,
below Holbrook station, was in the city
recently to find out whether he had
any recourse against the United States
fish commission for the introduction
of carp into the rivers of this section.
He says these fish are destroying
his meadows by eating his grass and
grubbing up the roots. As the water
overfows' his meadow, the carp fol-
low it up in thousands, the small ones
weighing about three pounds pushing
their way up where the water is only
three inches or so in depth, when tho
water recedes he will have mud flats
in place OF the meadows.
He says that while looking at tho
fish eating his grass one Sunday he
got 30 mad that he took off his shoes
and stockings and went out into the
shallow water and attacked them with
hoe. He slashed lot of them in
two. but when the drove became
alarmed and made for deep water they
bumped their noses against his shins,
and came near knocking him off his
feet, and his ankles were all black and
blue from the humping he got. AS for
driving the carp away he says he
might as we'll have tried to sweep back
the rise OF the Columbia with broom.

Some New Diseases.

The intensity of present-day life
has developed new and curious ills
that net principally upon the nerves
and brain. There is one malady that
is peculiar to cities. 1t is called the
elevated-railroad disease, and has be-
come sufficiently common to attract
the attention of scientists. Among
the leading symptoms are nervous
irritation and n habit of hesitation in
speaking. Many people who live on
the line of the elevated railroads are
suffering from nervous systems that
are almost entirely shattered.
An eminent surgeon is authority
for the statement that there are
about half a score of new diseases
developed by the high-pressure
methods of present-da living.
Writer'S cramp and telegrapher's
cramp and paralysis are not new,
but they are becoming modified and
complicated with other diseases. A
number of telegraphers have become
insane from the nervous strain of
their occupation, and several have
committed suicide.
With the introduction of the
typewriter, writer's cramp grew less
prevalent, but in its place came
muscular cramps, nervous difficulties
and brain troubles, half score
of them.
A new disease is called railroad
shock, and is nervous affection in
duced by fright and the shock caused
by being the victim of an accident.
There is nnte-player's disease of
the throat, and medical men tell us
of piano paralysis and cramps. The
violinist has his peculiar ills to battle
with, and now somebody has dis
covered that street-car conductors
are subject to an illness caused by
touching brass railings with their
bare hands and then bringing them
in contact with the eyes and face.
These are only few of the out
growths of our artificial method of
living, but they are quite enough to
furnish occasion for serious thought
as to whether our manners and habits
are not in urgent need of modifica-
tion and reformation. New York

With faultless rhythm and musicalr' ',

And the summers like buds between;

As they glide in the shadow and sheen.

Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's cloudlcss sky and n tropical cline,
And voice as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of
snow
There are heaps of dust, b't we love them so
There are trinkcts and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
And part of an infants prayer,
There's harp unswept and Lutte without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted In air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone be-
fore.
When the wind down the river is fair.

Prenatal Influence.

"The most marked case of q

couver, b. c., at the Howard. ''He
is known as the Bear faced Indian
and the resemblance to bear is much
more marked than that of the dog
faced boy who was exhibited for
several years to dog. The hear
faced Indian, which is the only name
by which he is known, comes down
from the north every hop season to
pick hops, aud his services are very
greatlyi in demand. He can pick more
hops than any two other Indians in
the band. His companions have but
little to do with him, seeming to re-
gard him in superstitious way, but
the cause OF his deformity is we'll es-
tablished. His mother, while picking
hops, was suddenly confronted by
large bear and was frightened into
convulsions, the bear, however, not
molesting her. In few weeks the

Magnetic Torpedo for ships.


Experiments are being made with an
invention for the torpedo service, at
the torpedo station in Narragansett
Bay, OF which remarkable results are
expected. The torpedoes now in ex-
istence, so far rs their destructive quail
ties are concerned, are perfect when
n vessel is struck by one of them, but
should one of them miss the torpedo
is lost.
The device which is now being ex-
perimented with consists OF magnet,
delicately constructed and intended to
be hung on All arm at the bow, which
is in turn fastened to the rudder.
The two arms are connected by crossed
wires or chains, and the idea of the
invention is that, when approaching
vessel the magnet will be attracted in
that direction, and in turning will
move the arm to which it is fastened
and so operate the rudder, thus steer
ing the torpedo toward the ship. It
is said that the magnet is so delcately
constructed that should il come with
in one hundred yards Of the vessel it
would be effective.
The torpedoes will be painted water
color and would be OF immense nd
vantage ut night, when the enemy has
distinguished the lights aboard ship.
The improved torpedoes are cigar
shaped, and would approach hostile
fleet with more stealth than even q
submarine boat would.
The question has been raised as to
whether the magnet would not be at
tracted to the vessel from which it is
fired, but the mechanism is arranged
so that the magnet will not be inhu-
enced at all until it has reached GER
tain distance from the vessel.
Caryl ID. Haskins, of the General
Electric Company, of Boston, is the
inventor. The device is seven feet
long and weighs $50 pounds. At q
recent trial the magnet needle followed
an iron steamer at distances of from
fifty to several hundred feet. The
boat against which the device was OPP
Grated was comparatively small iron
one, and could not be expected to offer
as great an attraction as the lbig bat
tleships plated with armor.
The fact that these experiments are
being made has been cabled abroad by
the military attaches of foreign lega-
tions at Washington. With a view of
offsetting the deadly power of these
torpedoes, there is n talk of trying to
demagnetize the big war cruisers. If
watches can be demagnetized, it is
thought that warships may be also.-
