The first public action that was taken, which finally resulted in the building bear ing the name at the head of this article, was on June go, 1894. At that date the legal voters of District No. Il passed resolution to consolidate with District No. 1 in the erection of school building. The only condition expressed was that the building should be located where 1t would be easy of access to children of both districts. On September 8, the legal voters of District No. voted to cOnsoli- date with District No. II, and commit tee was appointed to confer with similar committee from No. II in regard to a site. In due time the committee met and exam ined various sites, and finally agreed to ! report a site offered by Hon. E. c. Pinney, south of MT. Sullivan's residence, the only consideration being that the district should clear it of stone and grade it. This proposition was accepted by the new dis trict.
 On May 11th, 1895, the new district, called No. 1, voted to accept the plans of Curtis Johnson, of Hartford, for a four roomed two-story building; E. C. Pinney, Elmer Colburn and E. E. Warren were ! elected the building committee. At a subsequent meeting it was voted to raise the sum of $6 800 for the erection of the | building, to be raised by tax in three years. After advertising for bids, the committee accepted the bid of P. B. JohA- son, and the work began in July, 1895. The building is now practically con- Ipleted, furnished and ready for occupa- 1 ton. Tire lot comprises between one and two acres of land has been entirely clear ed of stones, is graded, and is enclosed with substantial stone wall-the front is bank wall, laid in cement, with dress ed West Stafford stone on top. The oth- CTS are dry stone walls. The entrance is by dressed stone steps, up to an asphalt walk, leading to the building. The front yard is seeded down, and the back yard is to be used as playground. The build ing is 6Ox32 feet, facing the west, and is set in about the center of the yard, mak- ling a very handsome appearance. It has a hipped roof, which is of slate; with a bell tower over the entrance, and is we'll light ed from the basement upward. It is a frame building, and painted light gray. The entrance to both front and rear is by dressed West Stafford stone steps, and asphalt is laid around the walls, on which the caves may drip. The front entrance
 is by folding doors, set little way in, and opening outward. Entering, we find steps
 leading down to the basement. The foundation is of heavy stone, laid in ce-
 ment, with brick superstructure. The
 basement floor is cemented, and the room
 is dry and well lighted. It can be used for playground in bad weather. It con-
 tains the furnaces for heating the build ing, and there are several brick pillars supporting the floor timbers above.
 | Returning to the first floor, we find our
 selves in a roomy corridor, fourteen feet
 wide, and on the right is teachers cloak
 room, the stairs going up on the left. In
 the rear of the corridor Is a narrow hall

way to the back door, with cloak room for the pupils on each side. On the left of the entrance is the primary room, with desks for forty scholars. The intermedi- ate room is on the other side of the hall with desks for thirty-six pupils. The stairs have landing halfway up, are easy and broad, the balusters, posts, rail- ing and treads being of oak. In the up- per corridor, at the rear, are two cloak rooms for the scholars, and between them is at the left, with desks for thirty y-five pupils. The rooms are all ceiled with yellow pine, the stories are twelve feet high, the rooms are 31x22 feet, with black boards around three sides set in the walls, and have new desks and chairs for the teachers. The south room on the upper floor is not yet furnished.
 The pupils desks are all single ones, with good aisles between them, and also between them and the walls. The floors all through are double, and are of hard maple. There is an abundance of light, each room having two double windows in front, three single ones on the side, and two in the rear, and are furnished with Holland shades. The building is heated with two furnaces, the flues lined with tin, the registers being in the walls, sev- eral feet from the floor. The ventilation is from regis ters near the floor, the 1ues being separate from the heat flues, and emptying above the roof, The walls are finished rough and are tinted warm yell low. The corridors are also we'll lighted the UIIe UH the upper floor having in front triple window. In the bell tower hangs d bell, weighing three hundred pounds, furnished for both tolling and ringing, from the Meneely foundry, at Troy, NY. This is the gift of Mrs. Cyril Johnson. A fine well of water is on the premises, with asphalt laid number of feet around it. The out-building is we'll and substantially built, being separated into two parts, with double partitions.
 The site is fine one, as the building can be seen from many points, and the views from it's windows are very pleasing Its cost including the clearing of the site etc., will be about $77OO.
 The work was contracted for by Peter B. Johnson; the stone work done by l.. R Lull the clustering by E. J. Sweet the United States School Furnishing company
 made the furniture; the shades for the windows are from G. H. Baker x Co.,. the furnaces were put in by J. Glover Son.
 The builders were constantly supervised by the building committee, and the result is we'll built, we'll furnished and al attractive looking building, which is 6 credit to the builders, the building com mittee, and the district. As stated some weeks ago, in view of the gifts of the Pin ney family; Mrs. Cyril Johnson giving the bell, and Hon. E. c. Pinney giving the site and valuable time in supervising the erection of the building, the district, al its last meeting, passed unanimous res olutiOn naming the building

alike to men and women, giving the pen itent of both sexes an equal chance to re- form so far as my assistance and influ- ence can do this."
 The pastor of an aristocratic Presby- terian church has said, "The w. c. T. U. is the skilled musician playing upon the keys of public sentiment" What matter if the organist is invisible so that his music floods the air and stirs the heart 1? Our town knows that, somehow, there Is a waking up to the merits of total absti- hence and prohibition social drinking is at discount, and license voting not a thing to be proud of."
 We endeavor to work, as far as possi- ble, through agencies already organized the public school, the Sunday school, the pulpit; by circulating petitions and hold ing public meetings; by voting when we get the chance.
 We are proud of the splendid achieve ments of our leaders in the national and worlds w, c. T. U., but they could do little were it not for the state and local unions, who are their hands and feet The local w. c. T. U. is dependent upon the individual and me.

age shall have, smoke, or in any way use, in any public street, place, or resort, any tobacco in any form whatsoever. Any such persons violating the provisions of this section shall be fined not more than $7 for each offence.
 It is evident to any one who walks our streets that our local union needs super intendent and workers in the departments of narcotics to help enforce this law. Let us have more workers, and your money and ours shall help defend the boys and our future homes from the disastrous ef- fleets of the early use of tobacco.
 MOTHERS MEETINGS.
 The w. c. T. U. has been called orga- nized mothers love. Is there not some mother-hearted woman here who would like to lead us in the study of child train ing-the study which lies at the founda- tion of all study. Under the head of mothers meetings we would like to study health, heredity and purity, and form bands of mercy among our children. I do not like to have my little girl see some of the pictures displayed in a glaring man. ner on our streets. Does any other mother feel the same repugnance?
 PURITY,
 We have faith in mans capacity to be good and pule as women, hence our effort to maintain the same moral standard for men as for women. The ono sinlees man certainly has shown this to be possible for other men, and some of our fathers, brothers and husbands prove it by their own chaste, noble lives.
 The white cross and purity pledges have been circulated by many local unions. The purity pledge is as follows: "I sol emnly promise, by the help of God, to hold the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women, and to use my ut most efforts to obey the command, Keep myself pure ; to dlscoumtenancc all coarse language and impurity in dress, in lhera- ture and art to lend a helping hand

Senator Stewart is silver man now, but this is what he said in congress in 1874: Il do not care how much you dis cuss it or how many resolutions you pass, they do not make any difference; you must come to the same conclusion that all other people have-that gold is recog- nized as the universal standard of value. It is the measure that must be used. It is the measure by which wealth must be tested; and whether it be pennies or mil lions matters not, 1t is the measure that must test all wealth."

 Our union circulated the great polyglot petition. This is petition begging the governments of the world to "raise the standard of the law to that of christian morals, to strip away the safeguards and sanctions of the state from the drink traf- fic and the opium trade, and to protect our homes by the total prohibition of these curses of civilization throughout all their territory" This petition has been presented to the United States goveln- ment, and is to be presented to every civ 1lized government.
 Alone, you and 1 can do little; by join ing hands with the women of the local, state, national and worlds w. c. T. U., we may reach around the world.
 Through the efforts of our national w. c. T. U. the committee having in charge the International Sunday School Lessons have given one Sunday in each quarter to the study of temperance. We are glad to note that it is observed in some of our local Sunday schools, and that the triple pledge agreeing to abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco and profanity-is of fered If some faithful Sunday school worker would only take up our depart ment of Sunday school work this happy result might be obtained in many of our Sunday schools Our state w. c.

THIS SURGICAL INSTRUMENT ALIVE
Magical X-Ray Discovered in the Glow Worm
By an English Doctor
Copyright, 1851

DE-. Dawson Tucker, British scientist
much Interested in the X-ray and the
means of making 1t practicable for many
walks of life and many diverging prufes.
sions. has been looking arOunu ior months
to find good, easily obtainable X-ray
He wanted something hat couid be- us,ri
without Il camera and would penetrate
substances as deeply US the ray OF DR..
Roentgen.
One day in looking around for bright.
luminous substance DR.. Tucker happened
to spy a glow worm. This small insect W as
emitting Il peculiar white light that caught
the eye from i great distance and held
it fixed while the glow lasted. 1t was
peculiar fluorescent light that seemed to
emit more rays than any other light he
had ever seen in nature.
The daylight" OF Messrs. Edison and
Tesla had long attracted the doctor. And
Edison's recent claim that he had found
a light that is ! 2 per cent energy-in other
words, an artificial light almost as bright
as the sun-occurred to the searching
doctor at once And 1t seemed to him that
here all theories had found materializa-
ton.
Catching the insect, he had the greatest
difficulty in making it glow. 1t was a
female worm, with rings around its body,
and without the wings OF the male glow
worm. Suddenly it TUNED cn its brilliant
light, and the effect was as dazzling to
the eyes of the doctor as to a little child
FRANKLIN discovered elecreicity by ny-
ing kite, md this scientist scented dis
covery by watching worm. Taking the
little thing in his hands. he went to his
library, and there set up a sensitized
plate.
TO take an Xray, it must here be ,ex-
planned, it is not necessary To have a
camera. A sensitive plate. such as can
be obtained Of any dealer, and suitable
