 YESTERDAY.

Van sickIen-Forbes Libel Suit Settled Wallace Divorce Case-.The E. A. smith suit-Cases i'm Co., Op Ticket Scheme to be Tcsted-City Court Cases. The thousand dollar suit for slander and assault, brought by Gilbert Van Sicklen, market gardener of East Ha- ven against Hudson B. Forbes, of that
 town, was settled by counsel in the case out of court in the library in the county court building yesterday fore noon, MT. Forbes agreeing to pay all costs. The case was on the eve of trial in the superior court.
 The witnesses were on hand, and one of them having suggested, wisely that as all the parties to the case were now together for the first time in two years it was a very good time to settle the matter up without ventilating it any further in court. Mir. Forbes is re- tired resident of East Haven and was the former proprietor of the Forbes house. It appears that the plaintiff in the present case at the time of the trouble two years ago kept store in East Haven and that his brother mar ried Forbes daughter Attorneys Good hart and Pardee were present at the conference.

JAIL. FOR TEN DAYS.

William H. Peters, a negro who was arrested by Policeman O'Brien after it had been complained that the accused had deliberately smashed window in the rooms of the Union street Salvation army Tuesday night, was on trial in the city court yesterday. It appears that Peters had been noticed as a hanger-on about the rooms and he has been order- ed away several times by officers of the Salvation army. Owing to the fact that there have been losses Of property from the lockers in the army quarters it is said that suspicion fell upon Peters and on that account he was ordered out on Tuesday night, when later he returned and in spite broke the window. Judge Dow sentenced him to jail for ten days.

evidences worshippers." as they sane asylum.
 These are some of the extremes of the hundreds of peculiar Ideas that have taken possession of people who live under the Stars and Stripes. and of which a list could be given of extended and bewIldering length. These sects societies and orders base their proceed ings and beliefs upon isolated texts or Scripture, which may mean something else. but in the mind of the deluded the thought becomes distorted and forms a basis for ruling the whole con duct or action of life. The belief or, Christian Scietists Is based on the sug- gestion of St. James. that if anyone De sick, an elder might pray dor him and he might be annointed with oil. St. James also prescribes that the one wno is merry should sing psalms, whien makes one think of Oliver Cromweirs colleague, Praise God Barebones, and the cheering melody To, From the Tombs. a Doleful Sound"
 Many instance might be cited of attempts to cure disease by faith and various forms of incantation. from the Voodooism of the ignorant Southern negro to thought transference of the intelligent white man. A young wo- man of New Orleans was placed under the care of an Italian. a divine healer. The Professor diagnosed her case as "deviI in her throat" He tried several mentioned of relief, but. when incanta- tions failed, resorted to the sublime operation of gashing her throat with shears. The healer was sent to jail and the patient to a hospital. A wo- man in Buffalo, N. Y.,. volunteered her services to cure a girl sick with gan grene. The volunteers mother had been a healer in Germany, and all though she had herself only kept a gro- cery store in America, she was conf dent that she could heal the child. She did not use a pair of shears but sim ply recited incantations from "a book of magic called Egyptian Secrets" or ."White and Black Art for Man and Beasts" All that the sick child had to do was to believe in the books curative power When this method strangely failed, the healer used salves and plaS- ters; thus forming tangible basis for fee of s5. At the end of a month the child's pain was so intense. except when she was under the influence of opiates, that she was removed to a hospital, where one foot came off and then her leg was amputated. The healer was arrested for having practic- ed as a physician without registration. Her defense was that she was merely the agent for a patent medicine firm. She was held on bail. finally tried and sentenced to the penitentary for five months. The story of the death of liar old Frederic, the joournalist. and of the wife of Admiral Ewing. alleged vic- tims of faith cure, are familiar to news paper readers.

BIRDS DRESS THEIR WOUNDS.
Some Have Been Known to Make Excellent Plasters of Feathers.

Excellent HlaSterS or Feathers.
 Toedo Blade:
 There are not few birds that pos- sess knowledge of the principles of surgery that is not far from supernat- ural. The woodcock, the partridge and some other birds are able to dress their wounds with considerable skill. A French naturalist says that on sev- eral occasions he has killed woodcock tbat were. when shot, convalescing from wounds previously received. In every instance he found the old in- jury neatly dressed with down plucked from the stems of feathers and skill fully arranged over the wound. evil dently by the long beak of the bird. In some instances a solid plaster was thus formed. and in others ligatures had been applied to wounded or broken limbs.
 One day he killed a bird that evil dently had been severely wounded at some recent period. The wound was covered and protected by a sort of net work of feathers, which had been piucked by the bird from its own body and so arranged as to form a plaster completely covering and pro- tecting the wounded surface. It had evidently acted as hemostatic in the first place and subsequently, as a shield covering the wound. The feathers were fairly netted together, passing alternately under and above each other and forming a textile fabric of great protective power.
 Birds are often found whose limbs have been broken by shot with the fractured ends neatly joined and lig- ated. Nj. Dumontell tells of a wood- cock that had been shot by q sports man on the afternoon of q certain day. After long search the bird was given up, but 1t was discovered the next morning by an accident. In the meantime the wounded legs were found to be neatly ligated. an exquis- ttely neat bandage having been placed around each limb. The poor bird. how ever. had, in dressing it's wound, en- tangled it's beak with some long soft feathers. and had it not been djscov- cred 1t would have died of starvation.

You will find two eggs of a dirty color In the nest, providing. some snake or gopher has not made away with them wonder that the bird does not disap- pear from the surface of the earth. Nearly every animal that lives eats eggs.
 The night hawk lives almost entirely on bugs, bees and insects. They are so swift in their action that they have little difficulty in securing square meal every hour they hunt. They are so marked that they can easily secure their prey. They are dark--tust a twilight color-underneath, and the real distance they are from you Is matter of doubt. They have a wish bone-shaped white mark on the throat by which they can always be known
 The noise made by this bird when descending is caused by its wings in contact with the air. It's throat cry Is a squak and unpleasant to the ear. The bird is very attractive when 1t dies about in the afr, as it's curvings are as smooth and graceful as if they had ben planned and rehearsed for weeks. Such perfect control does 1t have over it's power of flight that 1t can drop toward the ground with lightning rapidity, and when scarcely two feet above the surface reverse It's action and sail again in graceful circles toward the sky.

in hot grease.
 There is no denying the fact that our national cuisine Is poor. Americans in general have but imperfect notions of the culinary art and do net, know how to cook or to eat intelligently the good things with which their markets abound. We boil and fry a quantity of expensive food that gives less satis- flying results than the little cheap pot au-feu of the French-the slow, gently stewing bit of meat, with various gradually added vegetables that con- summate at length into a savory, nutri- tious mass.
 At the last convention of the Ameri- can Public Health Association, alchol- ism was discussed from a sanitary standpoint, and it was decided that bad cooking, hurried and 'unpalatable meals. and the extravagant use of ice are conducive to drinking: they create a thirst, craving for strong drinks after meals, with view of aiding digestion. and in the end produce dys- pepsia. which in itself leads to drink ing.
 The committee on the "Abuse of Alcoholic Drinks" went on to recom- mend that popular kitchens should be organized by cooperative societies. where cheap meals would be sold and the art of cooking taught to the people at little or no expense. Also cafes should be encouraged, and gar dens where hygienic drinks and good. pure coffee are the beverages offered to the public. Coffee is sort of anti dote to alcohol. In countries that con- sume most coffee-Turkey," the orient. and Brazil-alcoholism is unknown Coffee is the best of stimulants, and helps to kill the craving for strong drink. It has physiological antagon- ism to both alcohol and opium
 Among the creoles of Louisiana, whose 'dripped coffee is famous. and who drink 1t three times day, a drunken man is seldom seen, and ex- ampIes of longevity are numerous.

Manager Packard of the Auditorium announces a program of vaudeville at the new theatre this week which will no doubt prove attractive.
