NEW RAVENS SHUT OUT

 Uninteresting Game, With No Re i,,cr INcnc,f1

By New Britain to the Tune of to o. Uninteresting Game, With No Re deeming Feature.
 Previous to the polo game at Bowling hall last evening Referee Doherty an nounced that owing to Bone having suddenly fallen sick early in the! even- ing that player would be unable to be present This circumstance proved the complete downfall of the Blues Ex- cept for slight spurt at the beginning of the game, New Haven never had ghost of show. Mooney took Bones place, but he and Whipple are not a good combination. Mooney is far too slow and Whipple seemed overanxious to score. Time after time Mooney miss ed likely passes from Whipple, and time and again Whipple missed through er- ratic shooting. The entire team, after the flash in the pam in the first few minutes. seemed to go "dopey.' The loss of Bone certainly disorganized New Haven, but there was something else the matter with the remaining members. It was not by brilliant play that New Britain gained her victory. Through out the game was of very mediocre character and but for New Haven's hard luck New Britain would never have beaten them. The lineup and summary.

 Theodore Babcock and his excellent supporting company in Mans Enemy" drew another packed house at the Grand opera house last night. The play will be given at the matinee to- day and again at night. By the strength of his virile nature, by the elasticity of his art and by his uncommon intelli- gence Mir. Babcock vitalized the char acter, stirred the emotions, wrung the hearts and compelled the applause of all viewing his performance by his stimulation of human agony and misery. Not since the late Thomas w. Keene startled playgoers years ago by his dramtic realism and force in portraying Coupeau in Zola's "L'Assomoir" has an American actor given quite so vivid, affecting and effective an impersonation a character suggesting that as MT Babcock is now doing. Miss Dorothy Rossmore is also excellent as the adven- turess. Seats being sold at rapid rate and to prevent disappointment secure at once in advance. Regular prices.
 A strong attraction comes to the Grand opera house Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with Wednesday matinee The company this season is an exceptionally strong one and contains such well known players as Miss May Wilkes, Adelyn Wesley. Seats now on sale. Regular prices

 The musical element in New Haven is anxiously awaiting the coming of it's idol, Tgnace Paderewski, the pianist of pianists, who will give a recital at the Hyperion on Thursday afternoon, January II, at 2:30 D. m. The advance sale of seats has been large and the indications point to packed house to hear this great pianist. A musical writer speaks thus: At last came Fade raxuslxi himself with thp aureOle of fair hair, and the calm ascetic face, which to look upon once is to remember al- ways. Passing on to the end of his task, Paderewski could not leave the restful and lovely Berceuse un- touched. But thenceforward all was lightnesa and gaiety. A quaint reading of the Mazurka in B minor (Op. B, No 4) made way for two of the most Joyous among the studies, namely, Nos. and 5, from Opus %. Both of these were heard with infinite relish, and the latter Paderewski had to repeat. With the Valse in A flat (Apus 42) piece that shares with the Valse in c sharp minor the distinction of bringing out some of the most exquisite phases of the perfor- mer's individuality, the programme proper came to ts end" Seats now on sale.

Nod and Drop Asleep.

DIR. Pardini of Turin claims that he
has discovered that the best method of
treating obstinate insomnia is to make
his patients initiate the drowsy nod
dings of tired man while sitting in
chair.
Every one who has ever watched a
sleepy man in a train has probably
been amused by the neck distorting
mods which herald the approach Of
sleep. If the observer has given any
thought to the subject at ALL he has
probably decided that the contortions
are due to the sleeper's unconscious eff
forts to preserve his balance. DR.. Par
DIM says that the balance has nothing
to do with it. He declares that nod
ding is pathologic; that it is natures
own method of inducing sleep.
This, if properly carried out, brings
the head of the patient almost upon
his right shoulder. The body is then
to be inclined to the left and the head
allowed to roll in that direction. still
uncontrolled by the muscles. AS soon
as the head has reached the left shoul-
der muscular control is to be resumed
and the head raised slowly until it is in
the same position as at the beginning
of the exercise. Then the whole meth
cd is to be repeated as long as needful

ChineHe Arithmetic.

The Chinese rejoice in a wonderful
talent for inaccuracy in every detail
For instance, a pound or a pint varies
as it suits the merchants fancy. In
some part you get half or a quarter
as much as you do in others for the
same price and measure.
Then, again, their way of calculating
distance does not at all tally with Eu-
cid. For instance. you are told from
A to B is four miles, but from 3 to A
is eight miles. If you ask how this is
possible, you are told it depends from
which end you start; if you start from
a, it is down hill, so much easier to
walk; whereas. starting from B, you
have to walk up hill. which is much
more exerting and fatiguing-in fact,
it is the same as walking longer dis
tance on even ground.
This form of argument always anus
ed me nearly as much as the way the
Chinese have of counting a PERSONS
age by tens. "My mother" they will
tell you. "is 80" (or 40). When she
leaves 80, she is getting near 40

sDanish Proverbs.

Proverbs uncomplimentary to the
fair sex are common in Spain. "a wo-
man, like a pavement. should be well
trampled on to be kept in order" "A
woman is like a candle, Twist her
neck if you wish her to be good" "Be-
ware of a bad woman. and do not trust
a good One;" Crying in woman and
limping in a dog is all a sham;" "a
cock crows on his own dunghill, but
hens cackle everywhere" (this in refer
ence to the supposed garrulousness
and inquisitive disposition of the sex);
''Show me a magpie without a spot
and | will show you woman without
n fault" In English counterparts are
not wanting. for example:
A woman. dog and walnut tree
The you beat them the better they be.
Mothers-in-law and stepmothers
come In for a good deal of sarcasm
Some of the proverbs in regard to them
will not stand translation. OF a mar
who is accounted lucky they say, ''Ii
he fell from the roof of a house, hG
would fall on the top of his mother-ln
saw."-Chambers' Journal.

Gems Have Organic Life.

Scientists frequently remind us that
gems possess life-organic life. Ev-
erybody knows that opals and pearls
grow dull when worn by invalids, and
it has been lately proved that rubies
and the turquoise show the same SEN
sibility. Pearls are most delicate and
lose color and brilliancy and actually
die. Rings and pins should not be
worn by invalids. because the invisible
emanations Of disease penetrate the
microscopic interstices of the gem and
kill its fe.-Phlladelphia Press.

The Creamery Project.

The second meeting, held In the base
ment of the town hall, for the purpose
of discussing the advlsability of estab-
fishing in Middlebury co operative
creamery, was we'll attended and hope
full view was taken of the project. The
meeting took place last Monday evening
and was called to order by the chairman,
II Holden. Remarks were listened to
from Messrs. Jewett, Bosley, Dorsey
aud others. A motion was made and
carried that a committee be appointed
by the chair to canvass the town to see
how many dairymen would patrODize a
creamery, # one could be started in some
central place in the village. The chair
appointed Mr.. Rogers, Mr.. Leggett
Edward Severance, Mr.. Bosley and II
II. Holden as committee to do the
canvassing. Silas Jewett offered to turn
over to company the old sheep building
on the fair grounds and remove 1t to
any site that might be determined upon
The meeting adjourned until next Mon
day at same time and place, when 1t Is
expected that the committee will be able
to report on the number who will pat
ronize the creamery In case it is estab.
lished,

Ladies' Glee Club at Cornwall.

The initial concert of the lately Or
ganized Ladies' Glee club of Middlebury
college was given at Cornwall on last
Friday evening. Fortune favored the
fair with most propitious evening and
well-filled house, while their own
efforts did the rest toward making the
debut in every way decided success.
Many people from neighboring towns at
tended, some simply to enjoy, some to
form first-handed opinions as to whether
the merit of the entertainment would
warrant securing a similar evening fol-
their own respective towns. The pro
gramme presented was of entertaining
variety and excellence. Glees, quartets
solos, with banjo or piano and cello
and readings were one
And all received and encored with 9
Iheartiness which could not fail to elatt
the hearts of the young women. A
more substantial proof of appreciation
was afforded at the close of the concert
when the business manger of the clut
was informed by the Cornwall people
that as they had been pleased beyOnt
their expectations they would also bt
generous beyond their agreement il
dividing the profits. This suspicious
beginning augurs we'll for the success o
the club in its future career.

ton through which a stovepipe passed
had caught fire, but no material damage
resulted. The firemen point to the IN

Sharkey Jeffries fight at the town hall on
Wednesday night was fairly well attend
ed. The original photo.film of this fight
is over 2-3 miles in length and there
are 2l6,000 pictures on the band. The
fight took place at night, and to make
the ring light enough for photograph
work 400 arc lights, similar to those
which lllumine our streets, were focused
| by reflectors on the 24-foot platform
This number of arc lamps is sufficient to
light city of $4,000 Inhabitants. AS the

it is apparent that they expect to make
money by showing the resulting pictures
