BIBLE WORK IN CONNECTICUT

BIBLE WORK IN CONNECTICUT,
 Bible visitation by the Connecticut Bible society is going forward on larger scale than at any former period.
 This society has been very fortunate in securing the services of seven per- sons who seem to be eminently fitted for this peculiar and difficult service They are all trained. discreet, tactful and earnest and have great facility in approaching strangers.
 MT. Leslie o. Brooks is laboring in Hartford, MT. and Mrs. P. G. Butter field in Holland, Miss Winifred Eddy in Guilford, Rev. Henry l.. Hutchins in Wilton, Rev. l.. g. Johnson in New Britain and MT. Samuel w. Raymond in Washington.
 The results of this society's labors during it's year now drawing to g. close promises to be unusually large, and the character of the work is indicated by the following comprehensive statement of the pastor of the Congrsga tional church in Harwinton-the last town in which the work has been completed: Visitors of the Connecticut Bible so- ciety labored for a month or more in this town. During that time they vis- ited 275 families held 30 services, dis tributed 134 copies of the Bible and were instrumental in leading fifty peo- pie to Christ. Their report makes a useful book of reference for the pastors and officers of the church. Their work was quiet and thorough and the church was strengthened by their in- fluence."
 At the earnest and united request of the pastors of the churches in the northern part of Hartford, the society has undertaken to visit that section and MT. Brooks has already made a very suspicious beginning there.
 Other towns where the work is likely soon to be opened are Avon, West brook and Windham, including Willi- mantle
 l This enlarged work of the Society | will call for more liberal support But it is hoped the same influence | which has attracted to this beneficent labor so large and well equipped a | band of workers, will stimulate the lib erality of the community.
 Some are awakening to the fact that l the churches of Connecticut are more responsible to the unevangelized with in our borders that to those in any other part of the world
 | As the financial year ends with Feb ruary all persons who are entrusted with money for the society are earnest ly requested to forward it at once tc the treasurer, Chandler F. Miller, 51 Prospect street, Hartford, Conn.

PoII,s Wonderland Thenter.

Mile. Fleurette and her four Fleurs- de Lis are making sensation at Polls Wonderland theater with their highly attractive novelty. Their point of dangling fish lines baited with tiny dolls over the heads of the spectators, mutely inviting them to nibble at the bait, has caught many, and the Yale boys make frantic efforts to catch the dolls for memorabilia for their rooms. Mile. Fleurette is an accomplished danseuse,, her toe pirouetting being very skillfully done. The remainder of the bill has very bright features. Those who contribute to 1t include Mr. Carr and Miss Jordan, Alburtus and Bar tram, Francis J. Bryant, the Burke Brothers, Lorenze and Allen, the Worlds Trio and MT. Stanley and Miss Scanlon.

 the opening, under which process the common receded ss, to lbls, and the preferred 1% to 37M.
 Other disturbing influences were lack i Of London orders, stock and grain failure at Boston and rumors that the
 statements of the granger roads now
 due will be very unfavorable The De- cember statement of the Burlington and Quincy, which is promised for
 Thursday, according to gossip will
 show heavy loss in net earnings. Furthermore it was asserted that the
 St. Paul earnings for the fourth week of January, due late in the day, would
 not come within S10o,OoQ of the corre- 1 spending week in 1895. This was used with some effect against the western shares.
 Western Union was sold down l& to l SPA on the adverse decision rendered
 by the supreme court yesterday in the Ohio and Indiana tax cases. Later the stock rallied on the statement that the
 sum involved was Insignificant. Man
 hattan was relatively firm throughout. Statements that the directors at a
 meeting yesterday had discussed the question of bond issue met with a
 prompt denial. and this accounts for
 the strength of the stock.
 Among the high priced stocks New York, New Haven and Hartford was
 conspicuous for break to l60, On yesterday odd1ots were traded in at III | @1731a. Final transactions were af- | fected to-day at 1894.
 The street was flooded with unfaYor-
 able rumors about the stock. It was
 said that the company had floating | debt of between six and nine millions; 1 that e new issue of stock was inmi- nent, and that the dividends are likely i to be reduced Nothing of an official character was forthcoming.

IlluStrious Example.

Conventions which it would be fool
lsh not to observe may yet be recognized
as conyentions-that is, as things that
have been agreed upon as proper rather
than as things that are right or wrong
In themselves. In these days it is the
custom not to carry food to the mouth
with ones knife, but the rule was not
in force even in the White House 75
years ago.
Awriter in the Washington Post says
that an old lady used to tell with de-
light Of an occasion on which she went
with kinswoman to dine with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Quincy Adams. The table
was beautifully set in the fashion Of the
times, and at Mr.. Adams place lay a
four tined silver fork. The other persons
at table had merely the two pronged
forks then in use.
Mrs. Adams apologized for her hus-
bands little eccentricity, saying that in
his long sojourn in France he had &C.
quired the habit Of eating with his fork,
q habit of which he had been unable to
break himself.
"And, my DEAR" the old lady used
to saE, with twinkle in her eye, "the
elegant Mrs. Adams and the rest of us
ate with q knife:'e

Th~ Littlo Boy and tho Stars.

One day he said to his mother,
Mamma, what are the stars?''
They are flock Of golden sheep
that God drives forth at night to feed in
his pasture in the sky."
"H'm!" said the little boy, turning
to his father. Papa, what are the
stars?''
They are redhot nails that hold the
sky fast to the bottom Of Gods throne
and keep it from crashing down upon
our heads.
'H'ml" said the little boy, turning
to his mothers sister. "Auntie, what
are the stars?''
"The sky is the Virgins pincushion,
and the stars are the heads of the pins
which she''-
"H'm!'' said the little boy, turning
to his fathers brother: "Uncle.: what
are the stars?''
They are the eyes Of truant boy an

circus and we call the planetary sys-

Photography and Counterfeits.

The ingenious Frenchman who In.
vented color photography has given tho
treasury department of the United
States big scare. It is recognized by
the watchdogs of the treasures of the
world that if his invention should get
into the hands of counterfeite1s the
financial system Of every nation en-
ploying notes as circulating medium
would be threatened. Photography has
always been the bane Of the officials
whose business it is to circumvent the
ingenious devices Of counterfeiters, and
for ten years secret service agents the
world over have been watching in fear
and trembling for the invention of proc
ess which would reproduce singly or in
combination the different colors and
tints Of the solar prism.
Already counterfeiters are able, by
means OF photo-engraving processes, to
make exact duplicates Of she backs Of
bills, whether they be in green, blue,
black or any other color: But the seals
and check numbers, printed over the
scroll work of the face in different COL
ors, have hitherto thwarted them. They
have been obliged to expunge these seals
and check numbers with acids. These
acids naturally ruined the scroll work
below the overlaid colors, leaving a
space which the rogues had to re-en-
grave or put in with brush or pen. The
results Of such primitive methods were
easily detected by experts. But the COL
or photography opens immense possibil-
tiles in the hands Of clever men. Given
paper Of similar quality-and they
make paper that would deceive an ex-
pert-there is nothing to prevent a
skillful operator from producing ahso-
Lutte duplicates in such numbers as he
| may desire Of any banknote extant in
the circulation Of the world. Detroit
