IN A PADDED CELL.

Forty years ago George A. Stoddard, son of Charles A. Stoddard, was as promising q young man as there was i'll WoOdbury. He lived with his par ents in that part of Woodbury known as Pomperaug, adjacent to the Curtiss wooden mills. At that lime German silver thimbleS were manufactured in the factory at that place, and for five years young Stoddard proved himself an apt and ready workman at the thimble business. At the age of 20 sickness overlook him, and so thor oughly had the German silver dust permeated his system upon his recov- cry to health it was found that his reason was dethroned and he was doomed to lifelong imbecility. The grief of the parents was ptiful, but they bravely entered upon their task of caring for their unfortunate son, and for forty years he has been an inmate of their home, and during all that long period never has he suffered for any necessity or needed comfort, and all these years he has been strong physically and in possession of ray enous appetite. For a time during he early years of his affliction, young Stoddard was docile and harmless, and all day long he would go down by the IlNeT dllu aIluSp ululSIll twgs into even lengths and piling them up like cord wood. But one day q party of rude boys east stones at the poor fellow as he was busy at his self allotted task. and his rage knew no bounds. Fastening to his home he gave vent to his wild fury about the house, and then rushed to the mill and demolished great numbers of window glass. As soon as possible his father was summoned. and from that date the man has been kept under restraint in a padded cell He seldom utters a word and offers violence to no mem Der of the family, but the aged father, one brother and two sisters, who so faithfully care for him, know that It would be unsafe to grant him the lib erty which he enjoyed before the cruel and thoughtless act of the boys re- ferred to. c. A. Stoddard, the father. is now in his S9th -Woodbury Reporter.

The statement made by Captain D. F. Allen, commanding Company l, Thirty-eighth United States volunteers, who has just returned from the Philip pines.' that the war in the Philippines is far from being over, and that it will continue for some time to come, Is not very pleasant. He added that if the Filipinos could shoot straight it would be impossible for the United States troops to withstand their at Jacks. This testimony of an eye wit ness Of what has been going on in the interesting, as it proves that the na- tives- have not yet given over the at tempt to secure for themselves ''the inaliei,able rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. ''We may then have to spend blood and treasure for years to. come" says one writer, ''in the effort to pound it into the heads of the Filipinos that the charter of our liberties is nothing more than string of glittering geneIali- ties signifying nothing. We shall have to do this or acknowledge that imperialism is failure. As the sue cess of the plans for exploiting our new colonies in the interest of ;cer- tain multimillionaire friends and sup porters of the Mckinley administra- tfon is inseparably bound up with inn perialism, the latter policy must be ad- hered to even if the Declaration of In- dependence and the constitution have to be thrown overheard to save it. In the meantime the world will witness. the edifying sight of the great repub- { lie of the west wasting it's resources ill trying to conquer q distant people, who were inspired by its example to assume, among the powers of the earth. the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of natures God entitled them.

UNDERGROUND TEMPERATURE.

Determinations of the rate of in crease of underground temperature, apart from their scientific interest, have an important practical application in fixing the limit of depth at which mining operations can be carried on successfully. In this connection a re- port has been lately issued by the de- partment of mines of the government of Victoria, dealing with observations of underground temperature at Bendi- go, the author being James Stirling, government geologist. The rise of tenn perature of the rocks with the depths varies in different parts of the earth's surface, thus making it difficult ill any mining district to determine what the rate of increase is without actual eX- pertinent. Thus. if we accepted the hitherto recognized formula for the Bendigo field of one degree Fahrenheit for every sixty feet in depth, we should have temperature of one hundred and twenty-five degrees at the thirty five hundred feet level. The observations already made prove that this tempera- ture is not reached. It has been as- serted ill some quarters that mining GAiSAu u S-IGdL d dS ten thousand feet, if the difficulties of haulage could be overcome; but when we consider the effect of compressing the air at such depth (that is. the compression caused by it's own weight, it will be seen that ventilation under or dinary conditions would be practically unattainable At depth of ten thou sand feet the ventilating current enter ing the shaft at, say. a temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit, would attain a temperature of ninety degrees by it's own weight, altogether apart from the additional heat acquired by contact of the air with the heated rock surfaces. 1t is impossible, however, to imagine limit of five thousand feet as working depth, although the present obSerya- tions as to the nominal rate of increase of temperature of the rocks at Bendigo -one degree Fahrenheit for every one hundred and thirty-five feet - suggest four thousand feet as a convenient practical limit to healthy working. Mir Stirling's report is accompanied by charts illustrating the temperature and pressure gredients in No 1SO mine. In connection with the composition of the air, MT Stirling calls attention to the very defective ventilation of many mines, and to the necessity of owners and directors of mines taking steps to remedy the existing evils.

Sometimes newspaper directories are useful, but the business has ar rived at such a state now that there Is not much reliance placed upon tine statements made by some of them. The we'll known house of Rowell x Co gets the following dig in the ribs from Boston paper: Somebody who claims to be a member of the police force in New York has been furnishing the Herald with series of papers showing up the alleged corruption of the establishment in that city and tell ing of his own share in it. Tn the last installment he gives an account of an adventurer who levied heavy conrtbu tfons upon various business men by pretending to give them long and Iaudatory notices in q journal which had no existence save in the dummy samples which he showed to them and of which he sold them numerous copies at 15 cents apiece. Says the writer: .The swindle was that tie paper claimed a circulation of 10000, and Dr1lIeU SIalelueul lO thdl ehCSl iAA RowelFs Newspaper Directory of few years ago. But Powell made them quit using this when he found out there was no such paper. and it hadn't one reader other than the peo- pie to whom copies containing indorse- mcnts were sent by those whose goods were indorsed' The interesting ques- ton for publishers of real newspapers is: How did Rowells Newspaper Di- rectory come to credit such q circula- ton to a non-existent newspaper in the first place, and make them quit quoting it only when he found out that there was no such paper? It must have had some substantial in ducement What was it? And how much is Rowelfs Newspaper Directory worth as guide to advertisers, when it is so careless, or worse, in looking up the papers which it praises or runs -down?"

queer Church ColleotioEs.

To make tour of the big churches of New York is common thing. To visit the little, unknown sanctuaries is not so common, but it is infinitely more interesting. One feature of these unadvertised services that Is worth noticing is the variety of col lection boxes still in vogue. In 10 place is the old brass warming pan or the wire corn pepper still passed around, but those colonial makeshifts have given way to devices scarcely less primitive. The silver plates seen in the more prosperous churches are the exceptions rather than the rule in these unpretentious chapels. There the shallow wicker baskets stand high est in favor as temporary banks. Plain wooden boxes on four-foot poles are also frequently seen. Some of these boxes are unlined, while others, to deaden the sound of the falling coin, have lining of cloth or velvet. Cloth and velvet caps on sticks are used in several churches, and in one tiny chapel on the upper East side plain, everyday derby hat answers the pur- pose. Salvation Army recruits are still more utilitarian, and in many of their barracks collections are made in the tambourines.-N. I. Herald.

THE CAUCUS AND PRIMARY LAW

Discussion as to whether the caucus and primary registration law enacted by the recent general assembly gets its boots on this year or next is talk ing place, says the Hartford Post. Opinions differ. Although the actleaves something to the imagination we think that the contention that it be- comes operative this year is sound. Nothing i'll the law itself indicates when it goes into effect. When no other date is set all general laws en- acted by the recent legislature becomes effective August 1. The only founda- tion for the theory that the. law will not become operative until next year is that 10 penalty is provided for viola tion of the measure before March, 1902 We think that registrars of the va rious towns will do well and not i'll to assume that the law goes into effect this year and to make arrangements for the political enrollment of voters i'll August. With three or four excep- tiOns local elections will be held i'll every town this fall Tn every town in case the expected happens and the constitutional convention proposition is ratified, an election will be held to elect a delegate to the convention. We are unable to see any reason, either in the law itself or in incidental condi- tions, for holding that the act should be exclusively ornamental until next year.
