SINGING AMONG THE GREEKS.

Our present system of public instruc-
ton is not SO modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who-if distant report
is to be trusted-was an educational
despot. But while he welded his walk
ing-stick freely during official visits,
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as dill
gent promoter Of music as Is any hui
name and progressive educator Of our
era. AS a result the little Lacedaemo-
mans sang blithely, no matter what
torment was going on under their tu-
MICS. And all over Greece, in those dim
days, were schools, ranging from infant
grades instructed under Arcadian
hedges to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. schemes
harbored in buildings uniquely termed
places Of leisure" The infants were
drilled In their alpha beta gammas;
the older boys were taught poetry and
gymnastics, with something Of arith-
metic, geometry and drawing; and
adults spent their leisure with rhetori-
clans and sophists, paying handsomely
for the privilege. But music was a
sine qua non of Grecian life, in school
and in sport, In battle and in burial.
| The epic and elegiac chantings at festi-
walls, the calm speculations of Pythago-
1as as to the music of the spheres, the
choral outburst Of the great fifth CEN
fury" the martial odes Of Tyrtaeus and
| Pindar, all show the national love for
melody of voice as well as for high and
| harmonious thought An old-time
Greek set down amid the strident, me-
tallic voices Of our Occidental world
would feel that the Furies had seized
either upon him or the continent he was

Something About the Saint Who Regu-
lates the Dampness.

lateS the DaInpneSS.
st. Swithin was venerable saint,
with a local habitation and a name.
He was tutor to the great King Alfred,
and accompanied him to Rome. In A.
d. S52 he was consecrated bishop of
Winchester. William of Maimesbury,
in his chronicles, says that Bishop
Swithin built several churches and al
ways Travelled through his diocese on
foot to avoid the appearance of osten-
tation.
Swithin died on July 2, A. D. S62. and
was buried, according to his own de-
sire, outside the cathedral, for he had
declared that he was not worthy to
find sepulchre within the sacred edi-
Ace. But century later he was can
onized by the pope Of Rome, and the
monks of Winchester then determined
to exhume his body and bury it within
the cathedral.
The removal of the body was fixed
to take place on July Is, but was de-
layed in consequence of a heavy fall OF
rain, which continued without inter.
mission for forty days. And 1t Is from
this circumstance that the current be-
| lief regarding st. SWithin's day pre-

GOOD ROADS" LIMIT EXTENDED
Towns May File Applications for State
Money Till July 81.

Money Till July 81.
Hartford, Aug. Road Commission
er James H. Macdonald states that at
the request cf several towns the time
for filing applications for a share Of the
state approximation made for good
roads has been extended from the 18th
to the 31st inst The, time has been
short since the new law went into effect
--June 9-and the commissioners term
began July 1, right in the busy season
with farmers. Some of the towns had
delayed calling meetings until the last
moment, and there were now notices on
the sign posts which would overlap the
25th.
There was no question in Commits
sioner Macdonald's mind but that all
the towns would receive 81, 500 each for
good roads which had applied. The ap-
preparation Is one hundred thousand
dollars a year or two hundred thousand
dollars for the two years, before the
meeting of the next legislature.
will the one hundred thousand dol
lars be exhausted this year," inquired
the Times reporter of the commissioner.
THAT is a question"
''In case 1t is not, what, in your opin-
ion should be done with the surplus?
Would it revert to the state, or be ap-
piled on next years appropriation
Commissioner Macdonald said, in the
absence of legal advice, he thought 1t
was clearly the intention of the legisla-
ture 20 expend two hundred thousand
dollars for roads during the next two
years. He believed the trainers of the
law intended that as many towns as
possible should be benefited by the pro-
visions of the act, and if some were un-
able to accept of the appropriation this
year, they should be carried on next
years account.
Applications were received Wednes-
day from Groton, Meriden, Litchfield,
Stamford and Orange.

4 MIRACULOUS .DRAUGHT OF
FISHES

The jewellers ON the banks of the
Neckar, near the good old German town
Of Hebron. had an experience the
other day which must have reminded
them of the miraculous draught of fish
es. A few days ago, towards evening,
the worthy Heilbronners perceived that
the Neckar was towards both its banks
one moving mass of all sorts and condi-
tons of fish, thronging LANDMARKS in
seeming anxiety to be caught. Nor was
this tacit appeal at all disregarded, for
every man, woman and child of the vi
cinity ran out with pots and pans, with
spades and rakes, and pals and bas-
kets to help himself Cor herself) to a
share of fish. The explanation of the
miracle, which perchance might prove
a hint to fisherfolk was that the river
had become so muddy, after recent
heavy rains, that the fish found it diff
cult to breathe In the thick" water,
and had approached the banks for more
air-Westminster Gazette.

Fresh Supplies OF vitality

To renew waning stock may be gathered
from a source accessible to all, and never
sought in vain by any whose constitution
and vigor are not SO much dilapidated as
to be wholly past repairing. Evidence
direct, convincing and ample, indicates
Hostetter's Stomach Btters as a tonic of
unexampled efficacy and perfect purity,
and possessed of properties that consti-
tute it an invaluable remedy for dyspepsia,
constipation, liver complaint, urinary and
uterine weakness, rheumatic complaints
and malarial fever. Delicate females and
lnirm old persons are invigorated and
solaced by it, and the physical prostration
which usually follows severe illness is
to great degree remedied, and con-
valescence accelerated through its use.
1t occupies leading position among
medicinal staples.

and worn out, struggling with remorse
and fear, the natural outcome of habits
that brought incapacity; sense Of lone
someness and feeling as if the best side

men should write to Thomas Slater, Box

and this will enable any man to get
complete cure at home. 1t is the method
that Mr.. Slater used to cure himself of
the troubles that sap the strength and
vigor and also enlarged his organs to

so satisfying and such wonderful change
from his former condition that he will
gladly tell others all about it, sending all
particulars. He figures that he doesn't

Those who heard the Edison concert
photograph and talking machine in
Gardiner, Thursday night, at the John
son opera house, speak most highly of it
and will, many of them, avail themselves
of the opportunity of hearing it again,
on its appearance at City hall in this
city, next Friday evening, for the benefit
of Calanthe Lodge, X, of P. This
machine should not be COMPOUNDED in
any way with themany small machines
of q one-horse description, which appear
everywhere. This instrument is the
original Edison, and is the first and only
one of its kind that has ever appeared in
the State. Ex-Mayors Spear and Clason
of Gardiner, after hearing the concert in
that city, spoke of it, in substance as
follows; "The concert given by the
Edison Concert Photograph Company
in the Opera house, Thursday evening,
June 3, was the finest entertainment of
its kind we have ever listened to. No
words of praise can be too lavish in its
favor. "-Gardiner Reporter.
