AMERICAN WOMEN AND DRESS
They Lay Too Much Stress on 1t and Try Too Hard to Keep in
 the Fashion.

The views on ssThe American Woman and Dress" expressed by Helen Wat terson Moody, in Ladies' Home Jour nal, are based on the marked differ ence in the way the different nationali- ties Of women visitors at the Paris ex- position last, summer treated the problem of clothes. The English women were gowned with the utmost regard for utility and comfort. The American and French women ap- peared in toilettes of silk and satin and lace, which properly had no place whatever in the exposition grounds. But while the French womep's clothes were as beautiful as the American women's, and fuller of that indescrib- able charm called style, they were not nearly so costly. The cost of dressing grows greater every year, and the shifts of fashion are prompter and more imperative. Where the English woman goes plainly dressed with a se- rene mind the American woman keeps up with the fashion," but lines her face with anxious thought as to how it shall all be managed. Our last seasons gowns, perfectly fresh and just as pretty and suitable as ever, are altered and recut and retrimmed at the cost of many dollars and much time and hard work, not because they need it, not because we want to, either, but simply because Mrs. Wood across the way, and Mrs. Pope, in the next street, are doing the same thing-and they are doing it because we are! The truth is, we American women not only lay too much emphasis upon dress, so that it takes quite too prominent a place in our scheme of life, but we also spend too much money on dress.

Long Drawn Out Game on Athletic
 Field Yesterday Afternoon.

A very slow and long drawn out game of baseball was played on Ath- letic field yesterday afternoon between the Naugatuck and Waterbury H. $. teams. Bauby of the Waterbury team played game of standing up to the base and turning the body so that the bail would strike him, and thereby he would get his base. Brennan and Burns of Waterbury played by far the best game, as they worked the double steal three or four times Eaters and Sanborn started in to do the battery work, but as both men were green they gave way to the younger and more spry battery in the shape of San ger and Hart. The Naugatuck boys did not seem to be able to throw the ball to the bases, and as the result of those wild throws Waterbury scored a number of her runs. The Nauga- tuck team also showed a great lack of practice.
 The score and summary follows:

A Meadow Song.

The wind across the meadow blows
 And all the grass is like a sea Wave after wave it's green tide flows, And breaks in fragrance over me. Above, the bright-winged butterfly
 Flutters upon an aimless quest And now and then from out the sky
 A weary bird drops down to rest. There is no sound save of the grass
 The whispers of the waves long sweep: Listen and hear them as they pass A murmur-Hush-a murmur-Sleep Frank Dempster Sherman, in Youths

WHEN THR CHILDREN ARE ABEp


How quiet Is the evening,
When the children are abed;
The silence OF merry laughter,
The hush Of their joyous tread,
Seems but to awake within me
A feeling akin to gloom,
And the time is long and lonesome.
When their voices leave the room.
The world would indeed be dreary,
Without that innocent noise,
Which the happy children render
With their mirth and games and toys.
The patter Of noisy footsteps.
Resounding across the floor.
Are still. and in lanes Of dreamland
They wander and play once more.
How soon win each tiny nedgling,
Now tucked away In its nest,
0utgrow its freedom Of action,
When launched on the worlds rough
breast.

NHNE"A8NA AA1AN" OF AAUIEN.a
A Russian, DR.. l. Telyafus, cites the
way in which the plague disappeared
from Egypt when the felIaheen Of
Egypt ceased TO bury their dead on the
borders Of the Nile. Formerly the
bodies we're placed SO near the river
that. when the rise took place, they were
washed out Of the ground in all condi-
tions OF decomposition, and floated
down the sluggish stream and were
caught IN the broad expanse Of the
delta as the waters behind diminished
in volume. Then the hot sun added
its power to that Of the water. and the
poisonous gases and particles We're diff
fused among the living; and If there
is one physiological law stronger than
another, it would seem to be that par
ticles that have once formed part Of
living body are deadly poison to it
when they are made to again enter the
circulation In a state Of decomposition.
DR.. Telyafus calls attention to the
fact that the perpetual habitat OF the
cholera bacillus IS the delta Of the
Ganges-a low-lying area OF ABOUT
1900 square miles, intersected by many
mouths OF the Ganges and Brahmapu-
ira rivers, The soil OF the delta is
very moist, and contains the decaying
remains of many forms Of animal and
plant life. Cholera is always TO be
found among the people who dwell
among and about those river mouths.
and after unusually heavy rains or
from some other Misunderstood causes
It RACES as an epidemic, and starts on
deadly career to new regions, circling
the globe before II stops. The worli
has passed through four Of these de-
siructive pandemics, and Is now hold
ing It's breath in the terror OF expec-
tation in the course Of the fifth.
People who know The iatalistici apa-
thetic natives Of Inaia, fancy It an un-
realized dream 10 ,hink OF stamping
ont the disease. but such miracles Of
sanitation have already been achieved
IN Hinenssan. where the strong hand
Of English power has been able 70
make itself felt. that DR. Telyafls
dares to hope The FIRST step he would
take would be to restrain The natives
from casting their dead into the sacred
river or at least he would have them
made TO cremate the dead and scatter
he harmless ashes ia tho waters, and
he would have the delta area Itself
made drier by the planting Of eucalyp-
tus groves. as has already been done
on an extensive scale in Aigiels. thus
rescuing from wasteful idleness large
areas Of land which now sustain a
numerous population Of industrious
and prosperous people. Drainage aiso
scientifically applied to large sections
here. has accomplished wonders Ia Gre
ating habitable spots out Of what was
once considered useless ground; and
The world really owes France r debt
for the proofs she has shown IN the
application Of a thorough and intclii-
gent sanitation, that even tropical Az
rlca can be made a wholesome home
for men. The Russian optimist think:
that even in the poison-breeding delta
the money argument may yet b
brought to bear, for reclaimed lands
when devoted to agriculture, soon pay
principal and interest for the recla-
nation. Already extensive and costly
water works have been introduced in

AMONG TIE HILLS.

Along the roadside. Ike the flowers Of

That tawny Incas for their gardens
wrought,
Heavy with sunshine droops the gold

And the red pennons OF the cardinal
flowers
Hang motionless upon their upright
slaves,
The sky is hot and hazy, and the wind,
Wings weary with its long flight from
the south,
Unfelt; yet. closely scanned, yon maple
leaf
With faintest motion. as one stirs in
dreams.
Confesses 1t. The locust by the wall
stabs the noon silence with his sharp
alarm.
A single hay-cart down the dusty road
Creaks slowly, with it's driver fast
asleep
On the loads top. Against the neigh
boring hill.
Hnduled along the stone walls shady

The sheep show white. as II a snow
drift still
Defed the dog-star. Through the open

A drowsy smell Of howers-gray hello

Comes family in. and silent chorus

To the prevailing symphony Of peace.
