MOODUS MILLS TO RESUME.

twine and duck mills of Moodus,
 which have been shut down the past
 three or four weeks on account of
 lack of water, will start up next week
 as there is now sufficient water in the
 reservoir to run the mills two weeks
 or more. The situation has forced up on the minds of the mill owners the necessity of fitting up their plants for steam. It is roughly estimated that the loss in business to the several mills during the enforced idleness will amount to at least $1 ,5OO or $2,OOO, while the wages not forthcoming to operators aggregates quite Il sum.

 This is the way the two Waterbury girls came to be arrested as told in the New York papers this morning:
 That's" queer looking boy" thought Patrolman Lee, as jaunty little figure passed him at Sullivan and Houston streets yesterday. The boy wore a white shirt waist with q broad sailor collar, black knicker- lockers and stockings, and a tangled mass of curls showed below the broad brimmed sailor hat. With this boy was q girl. and both looked unhappy and frightened.
 The more Lee looked the ofterner he murmured, Yes, that's a queer boy" And, finally, when he got with in earshot. he heard the girl say to the boy. "Oh. May, I hope your mother'll send us some money"
 Then great light dawned on Lee and he said simply, Guess you two In the Jefferson Market court the weeping girl in the knickerbeckers said she was May Dillon of Water bury. Her companion was Jennie .Le Febvre, same town. They believed they were born actresses and they had run away from home to go on the stage. May was sure if she dressed like a boy they would get an en- gagement at once. May is 12 years old. Jennie 15.

CHURCH SMOKING.
Instances in Which the Practice Has
Been Authorized.


Although not exactly a popular Gus
tom, smoking in churches has been

is generally supposed The custom is

ate smokers and rarely seen without
their pipe. They even indulge IT. it
in their churches, and spittoons are fire.
quent1y provided for the better accom-
mediation Of those members of the con-
gregation who cannot deny themselves
the enjoyment Of a smoke. a similar
practice exists in several churches in
South America Smoking in churches
in this country is said to have been
prevalent in the last years of the six
teenth and the beginning of the seven
teenth century At one time smoking
was carried to such an excess in Seville
Cathedral that the Chapter applied to
the Pope for power to repress the
abuse. Urban VIII, yielding to their
wish, issued a bull, which was pro-
mulgated on January 80, 1912. In
Wales smoking in church was INDUCED
in as late as 1850. In one church the
communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit of
putting their hats upon it, and when
the sermon began they lit their pipes
and smoked. but without any idea of
irreverence. 1t is also stated that
when the Archbishop of York was Oh
a visitation in ST. Mary's, Nottingham,
he ordered some of his attendants to
bring him pipe, tobacco and some
liquor into the vestry for his refresh
ment after the fatigue of confirmation.
but the rector would not allow it to
be done. It was reported recently that
at a Presbytery meeting in Scotland an
adjournment was made to the church
yard, where all the members lighted up
their pipes and had a smoke before
returning to their deliberations.

Sunlight and Health.

Many persons appear to labor under
the delusion that it is necessary to
avoid sunlight for fear of spelling the
complexion, when. a matter of fact
the suns rays are necessary to give
it the delicate tinting of beauty and
health Air is necessary to the first
inspiration and the last expiration of
our lives, but the purity and activity
of the atmosphere depends upon the
warming rays of the sun, while our
bodies require light for their healthy
stimulus 1t is well known that without
solar heat there can be no proper vege-
table growth, and it is equally neces-
sary for the beauty and perfection of
animal development. 1t behooves u.s.
therefore, to see that our homes are
open to the suns rays and are mace
as bright and cheerful as possible, ard
they ought to freely admit the sun

which have baff1ed the skill of physi-
clans have been known to yield when
