The Annual Sail for Patients of the
New Haven Hospital Yesterday.
The annual outing for the patients at
the New Haven hospital, who are I'M
able to go out, was held yesterday af-
ternopn and proved most delightful
occasion to the invalids for many whom
this was the first time that they had
been away from the hospital grounds
for year The outing was a sail on
the steamer Victor, and about 100 per
sons. including patients. nurses. physi-
clans, and other persons connected with
the hospital took the trip. The patients
were taken to the steamer from the
hospital IN carriages. On board the
boat easy chairs were provided for them
and those requiring II were bolstered up.
Everything possible to make the occa-
sion enjoyable to them was done. The
steamer went down around the Thimbla
Islands and returned to the city about
Is o'clock Light refreshments were
served on board the steamer.
These trips have become annual af-
fairs For the last six or seven years
they have been given, the expenses be-
ing paid by a phianthropiic person
whose name Is not dvolged.

HOPPER's LONG RIDE.

Makes Trip From Winsted to Nauga-
tuck Junction perched ON a Car
Spring.
A Winsted grasshopper took long
ride from his home on one of the trains,
last week. Before the train left Win
sted the hopper was seen sitting on one
of the springs under a car and the
crew decided 10 see how far his hopper
ship was going. 1t was an unusually
large one, being nearly three inches in
length.
At every station one Of the brakanen
took a look at him. When Waterbury
was reached 1t was in the same place. 1t
simply changed its position a little,
took look around at the workn1en,
then as the car started, settled down
for a longer ride, evidently liking the
novelty.
The train hands say that it was the
king hopper on his way to the shore for
an outing. He had left the car when it
reached Bridgeport though he was
seated all right when the train left the
nction.-Winsted Citizen.

appeared to be in severe pain and on
investigating discovered something

worked 1t further and further IN until
it reached some distance down the
throat.

A very pretty girl, with decided
air Of being aware of her charms, stood
in front of the lions cage out at the
ZOO last Sunday afternoon. Two young
men were near her, and her elaborate
unconsciousness of their presence be-
trayed the fact that she knew they
were looking at her.
pretty, isn't it," said one young
man in n low voice.
"She's n beauty" said the other en-
Enthusiastically. The pretty girls cheeks
turned trifle plnker, but she went on
talking elegantly to the elderly man
with her.
Beautiful head to, draw" comment
ed the first young man. "Look at the
way she holds It."
"Um, hum" assented the other; that
shoulders beautiful"
The pretty girl turned pinker still
and looked more pronouncedly uncon-
scious than ever.
Look at those muscles' said the
first young man. Look at the muscles
In that leg. You can fairly count 'em."
And the pretty girl turned very red

AN INTERESTING MOVEMENT.
The Coming Cuban escher~ to Amer
lea Expected TO Work
Good Results.

About 1900 Cuban teachers, not
many of whom can speak English, are
to be brought to this country through
the efforts of the American superin-
tendent of education in Cuba, and are
to receive a course Of about six weeks
study in Harvard university. The uni
versity will not only give them the
instruction free, but has become re-
sponsible for large sum for their
entertainment. Nevertheless, there is
no doubt that the money for that
purpose will be raised by subscription.
The teachers will be brought TO the
United States on army transports,
and during their stay will be lodged
in rooms which the college students
have voluntarily yielded up to their
use, or as guests at the houses of resi-
dents of Boston and Cambridge. I'm
doubtedly this form of entertainment
and lodging will mean more to them,
in the way of instruction, than even
the instruction received in the Har-
ward summer school. The Cubans are
quick and facile, and have an extreme
ly ready faculty of comprehension.
Little in our life and controlling ideas
and principles will escape their OBJ
servation.
One effect of this movement, says
the Youths Companion, should be to
convince the teachers of American
| friendliness to Cuba, and it should
make everyone of them friend Of
the United States. A new method in
the education of whole people, this
| "hegira" of Cuban teachers of the
last year of the nineteenth century
Is likely to remain memorable. Great
things may in after years be attrib-
| uted to it's influence.
