rersonal "reminiscences by Rev. Har-
vey Burnes.
The Bridgeport Telegram of Thurs
day says of a former New Havener,
and member OF the Old 18th c. ": Over
600 people gathered at the First NJ b..
church last evening to hear the pastor,
Rev. Harvey Burnes, deliver his cele-
prated lecture on his Personal Remin-
iscences Of the Civil War"

patriotic evening" The program was

tertained the audience introducing the
numerous specialties, including imita-
tions of locomotive and the coming
and going of drum corps.

delivered to perfection, followed by the
long roll.
Mr.. Burnes was a private in the CIV
il war; serving three years. He was
wounded on one occasion and taken
prisoner on another
He opened his discourse with brief
relation of the breaking out of the war
and the spirit Of 81. He then followed
his own career in the service from first
to last His delivery was strong and af-
fecting at times, stirring his audience
to its highest pitch of patriotism and
was greeted with peal after peal Of APP
plause, he having to wait for it to die
away before continuing the lecture
During an exceedingly interesting por-
ton of the lecture, where he was reat-
ing scene on the field Of battle, the
drummer, upon signal, gave the hospi-
tai call which added still more realism
to the story and making the scene more
vivid to the minds eye of the audience.
Patriotic songs including, "Rally
Round the Flag Boys" and "Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground were sung by
male quartette composed of Charles
Hardwick, Frank II. Birdsey, John A.
Barri, and George S. Hawley

MAKING A ToQUE.
Scene Information About n Fashion
abbe Hendpiece for the
Season.

The little toque is decidedly in favor,
caught at one side and trimmed. is
astonishing how hats are worn back on
the head and lifted at the side. Any
hat, of any shape and of any material,
treated in this way will be more or less
in favor, with the chances toward its
being more.
The tiniest toques are used for the
purpose. They are previously covered
with velvet, which is put over a founda-
ton of crinoline, the latter being laid
on in loose folds. The velvet sinks into
the iudentations of the crown and is
lifted by the curves Of the crinoline un-
til its shape is decidedly irregular.
When completed, the entire structure is
lifted at one side and caught with a
very large pin. The toque is then set
upon the head and spiked securely in
place.
The woman who is making the toque
now studies the shape of the face, and
as the situation of the little hat can be
changed She turns and twists il until
she gets exactly the right angle. This
is marked by an ornament which is set
directly over the middle of her left eye
brow. When she puts the hat on, if she
has no looking glass she feels for the
ornament and instantly sets j: well
back on her head on a line with her
pretty eyebrow.
This is no fanciful description; it is a
bit of the accurate detail Of putting on
toque 1t was given to the writer by
the best milliner on Fifth avenue, who
said that She invariably instructed her
patrons to put on the hat by land
mark. as it were not haphazard, with
uncertain results.-N. Y. Sun.

A Connecticut Philosopher DIscerns
Indications of Character on
the sIdewnIk..I


The year 1898 will be memorable in
that almost as soon as we dropped the
lawn mower we were able to grasp the
handle of the snow shovel. 1t was the
greatest year on record for grass, and
is not backward for snow. Callous
wasn't off the hands. This indeed is
something to remember with pleasure
Not for the man who hires his moving
and shoveling done for him and doctors
for dyspepsia, but for him who does his
own manual labor and buys porous
piasters.
The dyspeptic dilettante thinks lawn
moving is the prettier and the easier.
That is because he never tried real snow
shoveling and doesn't know anything
about the art of moving. They IRE no
more alike than writing poetry and
compiling history. There's science as
well as art in both. The man who
doesn't fathom IL fails TO improve the
opportunities which nature so gener-
ously throws around him.
You've got to know just why your
lawn mower will not cut and gust how
deep you can go with your snow shovel
at every shove. This implies constant
is alert faculties. There's time when
you can't use a snow shovel on your
snow and ice That usually is when you
lave a brand-new one, painted green.
Then there are times when the ice
pick is of no use and the shovel is a
necessity Most frequently that is I'M
mediately after you've broken your one
/ shovel. A wise husbandman never al
lows his supply Of lawn mowers and
/ snow shovels to run low, summer or
winter. Yet the very man who most
f7eely criticised the quartermaster's de-
pdrtment in the Spanish warts the man
who is most careless in this respect.
There is as much difference in snow
paths as there is in oil landscapes. as
much index to character. One makes
q path scarcely wide enough for tight
rope walker; another bares the tagging
from grass to curb and adds a gutter
and a clean crosswalk. Callous though
he is, the latter is the better Christian
Is the further removed from barbarism
And the chances are that he will sprin.
But in that you may be mistaken; O
tee firmly seated conviction of thy
neighbours humanity may result in Z
too sudden seat on the walk. We pur
posely leave out of consideration the
heathen who allows his walk TO remain
unshoveled. He isn't worth the ink.
The more conscientious a man is, thl
more quickly he masters the science o
snow shoveling. He cuts the wors
drifts as readily as his wife cuts pie
lie doesn't complain of the time it takes
because he's the sort of a man who vii

should be done in the case of a fracture

he to get some one to bind the arm firm

say not too tightly, for broken limb is

Gated by trying TO move the patient
without first binding up the limb. This
happens through the piercing of the

splint must be applied. This may be
made of any firm material that is at
hand, such as straight twigs, bundle
of straw. cardboard. book covers or a

must be well padded with a handker-
