AT THE Y. M. c. A.

Last evening at the rooms of the Young Mems Christian association, the annual reception to the evening educa- tional classes was held. An interesting trated lecture of electricity and its use fin producing the x rays by Profesosr M. M. Marble. The subject was pre- sented in an exceedingly clear and con- else manner and by the use of the x rays those present were able to plainly distinguish the outline and bones of their hands. .-....-
 Light refreshments were served after the lecture. The educational classes this year have been well attended and the young men have proven by their application to the studies, as well as by the regularity of their attendance. that this is no small part of the work of a Young Mems Christian association.
 The associations throughout the country are making great strides in this direction and it Is possible in many of them to obtain a knowledge not only of bookkeeping, penmanship, mechan- ical drawing, etc, but also the young men are enabled to study plumbing, carpentry, machinery, blacksmithing, engineering, etc, in all their practical details. We trust the time is not far distant when, with new building and accommodations and facilities for so doing, the association of New Haven may be enabled to compete in this re spect with others. and give the young men of this city opportunities of which they are so anxious to take advan- tage.

or reading"
eyes, Philip" said Mrs. Schott-
guhn, Eyes that's very pretty cradle. !"
And yet somehow she didn't exactly
seem to like it.
Early yesterday morning the major
was aroused by tremendous chatter
that sounded like the going off of a
monster alarm clock. It was rattlety,
slambang. jangerang, deband, bang,
whang-
The major was out Of bed in an in
slant to find the watchful Mrs. Schott-
ghun already up and staring Mortified
at the cradle, which was performing
the most extraordinary antics. The
clockwork had got loose somehow in the
night and was going off at most
alarming gait, swinging the cradle over
and over, about one complete revolution
second, round and round and round on
the pivots with such astounding velocity
that it held the baby safely glued to the
bottom of the cradle by centrifugal
force, reminding the major for one brief
instant Of the great discovery he made
when small boy that he could keep
water in pail with the pail bottom
up" by swinging it rapidly over and
over at the end Of a string. But even
this brief "Reminiscences was blurred in
his mind by the startling spectacle be-
fore him and the whir-r-r of the revolv-
ing cradle and the clockwork's slam
bang burr-rr-rang f1amde whang jang
jang fioppertywhoopty bang bang
ooh, Philip, stop it! stop it!'
The major jumped in CALAMITY, but
cradle struck him square Oh the fore
head and laid him sprawling on the
floor. He was Oh his feet again in an
instant, but just before he reached the
cradle one of the pivots gave way, the
end of the cradle broke from the up
right and the baby shot through the air,
followed closely by the alert major, who
caught it safely in his arms as it rico
cheted from the mantelpiece and an
swered its morning crow with an exul-
tant shout: "Aha-a! Caught on the
few"
"John, where's the ax?''
1t was the majors voice, low, but
solemn. He had crept noiselessly down
stairs and was exploring the cellar.
"Here it is" said John, "but I don't
believe there's much edge ON it.
"Never mind about the edge, JOHN"
said the major. "What it lacks on the
edge I'll make up on the handle" And
he crept up stairs as noiselessly as he
had gone down.
"Wh'ishp "Wh'ish!'
Two blows of the ak were enough to
send the clockwork flying.
There, Cynthia, don't believe we
want any more clockwork in ours
"No, Philip, we do not. And then
the major discovered why she hadn't
exactly liked it-she didn't want to
confide to any dumb clockwork the low
ing task of rocking her own baby, and
she tucked the blanket snugly around
it, laid her hand softly on the rail and
gently swayed the cradle, singing as she
rocked the sweet song that will be fresh
end tuneful long after all the cogged
wheels Of Yankeeland are worn out and
toothless:
Hush. my babe, lie still and slumberS
Holy angels guard thy sleep
