 For the interest of the people of our town we desire to call their attention to section of our Connecticut statute regarding the examination of school teachers in the towns of our state. Gen. Stat, section 22k1 reads as follows: "No teacher shall be employed in any school receiving any portion of its sup port from the public money until he has received certificate of appreciation signed by majority of the board of school visitors. or by all the committee by them appointed; nor shall any teach. CT be entitled to any wages, so far as the same is paid out of any public money appropriated t. school, unless he can produce such certificate, dated previous to the opening of his school Section 2l35 provides that all persons desiring to teach shall be examined and gives the necessary qualifications. We respectfully ask our people if this law has been complied with by our board oi authorities. It would seem the proper thing in these days of advancing en lightment that our people should know whether the persons who are teaching their children were qualified so to do, or not. s-.a

How Care KiIIs.

Wise people have long been aware that "care killed a cat" but it has been left to the x rays to explain how and why. pr. Fritz Lange of Munich has turned his fiuorescent screen upon the stomach of happy and contented cat and has seen the process of digestion going on as 1t should in all we'll regu- lated stomachs. Then he has introduced care and irritation into the feline mind by placing a live mouse just beyond reach and has seen digestion stopped thereby.
 The Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals may cry out on be- half of the cat, or the mouse, or both, but the lesson against worrying is as complete as any Christian Scientist could desire Worrying stops digestion, causes dyspepsia, retards all the nor nal physical processes and demoralizes both body and mind. 1t wastes the forces of life, destroying the tissues without accomplishing anything.-Chi- cago Tribune.

FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The Saint Swithin day superstition. that the Saints day is reliable ob- servation day for the succeeding forty days, is knocked on the head, and must take it's place on the shelf along with the kissing bedbug and other shatter- ed delusions. Forty days of picnic weather were promised by the smiling pleasantness of the late Mir Swithin' s celebrated day, last Saturday. but Hor- aoe Johnson had made different ar- rangements, and the very first day of the succeeding forty was one to give disappointed humanity fit of the blue devil colly-wobbles.

He says: "For sev- eral years have been almost constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago travelling salesman kindly gave me small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my sur prise and delight it's effects were im- mediate.

Normal old Age.

The general tendency Is for men to live longer. There Is much evidence to show that In the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries men of 70 were considered very aged, and that man of 80 was very rare phenomenon. If medical science, sanitation and general obedience to the laws of health con- tinue to improve, the gauge of normal age may yet rise to 100.-Boston Post.
