sELF-DENIAL WEEK.

Features of the Salvation Army Work.
 The past week was what is known as self-denial week by the Salvation Army all over the country. During this period the members of the army deny themselves some luxury to help along it's work. The Salvation Army has 26 food and shelter depots. capable of ac- commodating 3,70o persons These places give good meal for five cents. a good clean place to sleep for seven cents and the Dry Dock hotel'' in New York, which is one of these insti- tutions is usually filled with men who make it their boarding house. The army also has ten industrial institu- tions, such as wood yards and basket factories. employing 70 men: 16 slum posts, hospitals, dispensaries, ? la Dor bureaus, poor mans lawyer, two homes for homeless children, another home where parents who work can take their children for the day and take, them home at night; also 10 homes for fallen women, capab ble of Accommodating 230 girls Some of these institutions were added last year. In the same period the army received 1.707 applica- tions from persons to look up missing friends, and with the aid of the army which is now in 700 cities, 200 of these missing ones were found
 The women, some of whom have left luxurious homes to work for Jesus sake who comprise the slum posts in New York go among the poor and wicked in that city, wash their children, clean their homes and gradually induce many of them to lead better lives.

Over 1000 in December-The Zymotic
 and Infectious Diseases.
 The State Board of Health reports 5,OS7 deaths in December, 1897 This was 34 more than reported in November, and 55 less than in December 1896, and 4S less than the average number of deaths fin December for the five years preceding the present.
 The death rate was 143 for the large towns; for the small towns 15.9 and for the whole State 14.7. The death from zymotc diseases were 107. being 9,S per cent of the total mortality.
 Of cases of infections diseases there were: Smallpox, 1 in Bridgeport: measles 193; scarlet fever, 9S; cerebro spinal fever, ?; diphtheria and croup, 162; whooping cough, 232; typhoid fever, 52.
 It seems necessary to publish once more the statement that the attempts of registrars to make an Annual Abstract of their records of vital statistics is no longer required by law. Satisfactory abstracts, under existing conditions, were an impossibility.
 The registration of vital statistics in Connecticut is vastly improved under the new regime, and is steadily growing better as the registrars become more familiar with their duties.

A VETERAN MAIL CARRIER.

James c. Lampher of Montville Has
 Travelled 9s,OoO Miles on His Route.
 James C. Lampfer, the veteran. mail carrier of Montville was in this city to- day looking hale and hearty, and it is doubtful if one man in ten, to look at him, could guess within fifteen years of his age. MT. Lampher pleads guilty to being seventy-one years old, but he is active and vigorous, and his ruddy cheeks and energetic ways would make most people think that he had hardly turned fifty.
 MT. Lampher has been in the livery business at Palmertown for many years and for sixteen years has had the con- tract for carrying the mail to and from the railroad station. This contract, with his business of carrying passengers, has necessitated his driving over the road as often as fourteen times some days, and moderate computation of the number of miles he has travelled on that road since he took the contract brings out the astonishingly large aggregate of 96 000.-New London Day

 Many Norwich Families.
 A very important publication is ''The Leffingwell Record,". a genealogy of the descendants of Lieutenant Thomas ,Lef- tingwell, which has recently been ,com- pleted, after thirty years labor, by AL bert Leftingwell, M. D., of the Long Is land Historical society, and Charles w. Leffingwell, D. D., editor of The Living Church." Chicago, III. Lieutenant .Lef- fingwell was one of the founders of Norwich, and many Norwich families pride themselves upon being his descen- dants since he was one ofathe most prominent and active men of heiinfant town. IA
 The following abstract from The Rec ord indicates this relationships

She marriedain 1709 Captain Benajah Bushnell, son of Rich ard and Elizabeth (Adgate) Bushnell, born at Norwich, May 4, .16S1.' Heiwas one of the prominent citizens of the town, and as they early became at tracted to the Episcopal church, they may both be counted among it's ,foun- ders in their native place. He gave the land (near the old landing place) on which the new parish might build their church of which he was made the first treasurer.
 Mrs. Busnell also indicated her inter- est in the Episcopal church by, giving a tract of land in 1767 for the glebe to the Society for Rropagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts

NAUGATUcK VALLEY FACTORIES.
Referred to in "The Social Spirit of
 America'

Referred to in "The Social Spirit of
 America.'
 Prof. c. R. Henderson, in his new book, "The Social Spirit of America" compares the English and the New England manufactures and pays a trib- ute to the Naugatuck valley. He says:
 ''The New England manufacturer has no notion of spending the greater part of his day in dirty, ill-furnished, ill., ventilated room, or indeed, of asking his bookkeepers to do so. On the con- some rooms, fitted with many clever devices for facilitating work, from among which the telephone is never ab- sent. Most of his clerks are girls who also conduct the correspondence, using the typewriter almost universally for this purpose. The offices are kept scru- pulously neat and clean, and their occu- pants are distinguished by an air of briskness. Very different to that which characterizes their duller brethren of the desk in England. The workshops
 
 atives so like the masters in ideas and manners that an Englishman is alto gether, but agreeably, surprised on his first introduction to a Yankee factory"
 In describing a watch factory in the Naugatuck valley he says:
 "The most exact neatness and scrupu- lous cleanliness are assured, by the appointment of special attendant to usually neglected apartments. The first requisites of a watch factory are abun- dance of light. neatness and cleanli- ness. No man can do his best when physically uncomfortable, whether from excess of heat, or cold, poor light, or above all, bad air. It is now univer- sally acknowledged at least in the Nau- gatuck valley, that everything which contributes to the comfort and mental benefit of the workmen pays good re- turns or its first cost.'
 Here is a pretty picture of personal relations which the author makes in connection with one of our factories:
 "A few moments before 6 o'clock we stationed ourselves at the factory door to watch the issuing of operatives. Of tneSe tne greater HuinDeF. are SlIiS, put girl or man, almost everyone had a smile and nod for the manager, and a smile and nod which were charming because of their eloquence as to the re- lations between employer and employed. Of one Mir L. would say: He is our li- brarian;' of another, He teaches in my Sunday school;' of this girl, She is the best singer in our church choir;' of that, She's my wife's right hand at bee If there Is military discipline inside the works, there is both friendship Rnd equality between employer and employe without the walls"
