Even under the social storm and stress
OF "Studio Sunday" when his pictur-
es4ue house was crowded with an exuc.
ing and brilliant throng. Leighton could
make time to minister to the wants of
any little visitors who might accompany
their elders. One charming instance of
this comes to my mind in reference to o
reception at his house some seven or
eight years ago. A pretty little girl was
trying to edge her wee person through
the crowd to get a glimpse of the presi-
dents pictures, but without success. In
an instant lie grasped the situation, raised
her to his shoulder, and the i've were
chatting gleefully together AS if they
had been friends for life.
An example of his generous and pa
tent self restraint l saw on another &C
casion, when the accident of his high
official position brought him into uu-
willing touch with u wealthy parvenu.
This magnate knew little of art, but
prided himself on his choice collection.
which only IL moderate share Of critical
knowledge might have seriously dis
counted. Over the dining room mantel-
piece was a very doubtful old master,
over which its master waxed enthusiastic
in the presence Of his guest. praising its
alleged points of merit in no measured
terms and generally explaining the why
and the wherefore with the fluency of
self complacent ignorance. The president
listened with the suspicion Of u smile on
his handsome features. But his few
words were wise generalities, and, AS
soon as courtesy would permit, Il tactful
silence prompted by those rare diplo-
matte powers with which he was 90
richly gifted. London Times.

A CYCLISTS OPEN MOUTH.

From the New York Sun.
Wheelmen do not begin the study of nat
Tral history like ordinary people. Down on
the Brooklyn cycle path on Tuesday night,
rather late, waite sweater scorcher came
whooping along. 1t was a few minutes
after 10, rather dark in spots, more es-
peCially just beyond the graveyard where
the woods thick. There was one re-
fit. He had very bright light, and his
mouth was wide open ready to yell. There
were lot of insects In the air over the
path. among them several large and hard
shelled beetles.
These insects, on perceiving the scorcher S
light a-comng, flew toward it al good speed
to Investigate. One of them, an especially
large and Strong-wirged beetle, flew about

Kill the specimen first nor is 1t a good
plan to close ones teeth onto it. since that
ruins the specimen irretrevably. Not
knowing this the cycling amateur naturalist
spoiled a line specimen of a niGht-lying
carrion beetle.
A good many wheel folk have begun the
study OF natural history in this inadvis-
able way, using their open mouths as land
ing nets with which to capture insects,
lured by their lamps. Such a method of
procedure is almost sure to cause the be-
g1nner to give up the study entirely even
to the extent of wearing mosquito net wells
to shield the lips. The mouth receptacle is
better left to the more experienced natural

tA4e Ndlloual review.
The accounts of Father Mathews mis-
sion from 1888 to 1892 read like fable. He
made teetotalers as the great powers make
soldisrs-hy the million, only much faster:
and, IL there had been any staying power
In the business, the liquor question would
have been settled out of hand. Wherever
he went n veritable fury of sacrifice ap-
pears to have seized the people of ireland,
though the estimated number of converts
must be discounted by the equal fury OF
exaggeration which seized the chroniclers
OF his progress. Thus in 1899 he is said to
have administered 10000 pledges in one day
at Clonmel, and from 100000 10 10000 in
two days at Limerick. Unless pledges were
taken by reclamation, 1t would be physical
Iy impossible to administer one-Quarter the
number stated.
In 1910 he is said to have added T5SpoO
TO the ranks, or an average of over 1000
per diem for every day in the year and
10y 1Sil the number of total abstainers in
Ireland was reckoned at 4,6fT 900, or con-
sideraoly more than the entire adult pop
ulation. Any one may believe ii who likes

Is certain that this homely village priest
did for a time meet with a success besides
Which the united efforts of all :he other
advocates of temperance before and after
him fade into nsignifcance. In three years
he actually reduced the cOrsumption of
spirits in Ireland from l0.Sl- 900 gallons
to 3,2H.H1 gallons. and practically abol-
1Shed drunkenness. An elderly lady de-
scribed to me the other day how she trav-
eled through Ireland about that time with
out seeing a single drunken man and how
striking was the contrast between the per-
feet sobriety of Cork and the rolling irtox-
ication of Bristol, which met her eye on
landing.

Books for Invalids,
From the Critic.

tne CTltIc.
1t is said that novelty in books is to be
issued under the title Of the Invalids' L.
brary. Each volume is ito be printed on a
long strip of paper covered muslin, so that
a patient can comfortably unroll it and read
in bed, thus dispensing with the attendant
fatigue Of holding heavy book" Why go
to all this trouble and expense? Why not
buy from the publisher copy of a book be-
fore it is stitched for binding? In this way
a handful of pages can be taken I'D at a
time, and they are so light that it would be
no effort for the weakest invalid to hold
them. Another advantage of these un-
stitched sheets is that all the family can
read the book at the same time. Let one get
the start and the others can follow on, /
gave some of these unstitched pages TO a
friend once, and she was delighted with the
arrangement. The pages open out readily
and have little or no weight; and then, she
said, 1T Is so amusing for all Of US to be
reading the same book at the same time"
The suggested Invalids' Library would be
expensive and do not think that II would
be as practical as the plan that propose.

half dozen things going at once; he must
keep already cooked things hot, and cook
the uncooked things meantime. To do this
he has got to understand the kinds of fire
to have. whether large or small blaze hot
ashes or red-hot embers. He should also
know how to get the most work at the
least expenditure, of labor from his COM

in is the way, to, keep camp dishes clean

NEWS LETTER.
Hoods Sarsapa-
July 10, 1858.

1t is our intention to print under this head, from week to week, items of interest from the old Stafford News Letter.
 INDEPENDENCE DAY.-The celebration at Furnace Hollow was postponed from Saturday until Monday, the 9th, on ac- count of the unfavorable weather. The exercises took place on an elevated spot in beautiful grove near the village, where the tables were arranged and a platform erected for the occasion. Pray CT was offered by Rev. F. l.. Batchelder, reading of the Declaration of Independ- ence by Asa Wiley, Esq, after which an admin able address was delivered by Rev. c. w. Riddle. M. B. Harvey presided at the table, assisted by Messrs. Fairman and West. After the eatables were dis pensed with sentiment and song enlivened the occasion and delighted those who were among the guests. Col. C. w. Lay provided for the occasion. The day was closed with few pieces of fireworks in the evening, and among the novelties was large paper ballooon, constructed by MT. Cady, measuring 25x48 feet It was brought out and secured by lines till all was ready. To give it buOyancy and make it trim it was furnished with a small quantity of light ballast, and light ed with paper saturated with lard. All things ready it was let off in front of the hotel at o'clock, amid the shouts of the l Al. NLa wind being light, it attained an elevation of eight or ten thousand feet before nov ing off in a horizontal direction. Its course was southeasterly, and was dis tinctly visible for half an hour. It passed WestfOrd, eight miles distant, going south and had the appearance of a brilliant me teor. The aerOnaut has not yet reported itself. At the Springs and Staffordville the day was celebrated by several picnic par ties in shady groves.
 THE STAFFORD SAVINGS BANK.-The Savings Bank of Stafford Springs, char tered by the last legislature of Conn.,, was organized on Tuesday, July 9th, when tn" following officers were chosen: President Farley Converse; vice presidents, Geo. M. Ives, Clark H. Grant. Ephraim Dim mick; directors, Harvey Dimmick, l.. w. Graves, Harvey Walker, s. T. Pres ton, Henry Thrall, G. H. Baker, John W. Sharpe; treasurer and secretary, s. New ton; attorney, M. R. West. These gen. tlemen are we'll known and have the con- fidence of the community, and we have no doubt the interests of the depositOrs will be carefully protected. Experience proves that the old fashioned savings bank, with a charter like the one just granted, ate the safest and best in the long run. In this institution the directors cannot be borrowers, nor can they receive anything for their services. All the earnings be- long to the depositors.
