connecticat mythology.

Once upon q timeAtO be more pre-
else, in the latter part of the eighteenth
century tire lived a worthy Connect
cut divine named the Rev. Samuel
Peters. Peters was a picturesque per-
sonage in his way, but his fame rests
entirely upon the fact that he wrote a
book. This is one of the most mar
velous works ever issued from the
press.
1t was Mr.. Peters, for example, who
first discovered and made known to
the world that the founder of Yale
college was Rev. Thomas Peters,
evidently one of his own ancestors;
that at Bellows Fails the water flowed
so fast that 1t became as hard as mar
BILE, making it possible to float q crow
bar upon it; that two most marvellous
quadrupeds, the ''whappermocker" and
the cuba" evidently the ancestors Of
the jabberwock) roamed wild in the
Connecticut forests, and it is also from
Mr. Peters that we first learn of the
famous incursion of the Windham
frogs.
But it was in the early Jurisprudence
of Connecticut that this expatriate
made his most interesting discoveries
He informed his English readers and
most of them believe the story de-
youtly to this day-thaf the citizens
of the state We're forbidden by law
to make mince pies, TO play on any in
strnment of music except the drum,
trumpet or jewsharp, and that every
male must have his hat cut round, "ac-
cording to cap" the model preferably
being the hard shell of a pumpkin.

Folding Beds.

All purchasers of folding beds do not
buy them solely for the sake of saving
room. According to manufacturer,
some people with ample house room at
command buy them. for one reason, so
that the rooms in which they are placed
can be put to other uses than as bed
rooms.
This manufacturer mentioned one
New York family in whose house are
eleven fine folding beds. Any room in
the house designed for and equipped as
a sleeping room could easily be trans
formed from bedroom to one that had
no appearance of sleeping apartment
whatever.
There are produced nowadays folding
beds of one kind and another that are
sold at low prices, but the most costly
of the finer folding beds may easily be
pretty dear affairs
The manufacturer told of one elab-
orately designed and finished folding
bed that cost $1,000, the cost of the
carving alone having been $500. New
York Sun.

Tho real. actual unit of value in the
United States is the silver quarter.
The dime is out of place. In the bar
you get two drinks for a quarter; you
buy two cigars for a quarter One ci
gar for 10 cents seems plebeian, so you
take two for n quarter. In the restau-
rant you are ashamed to give the wait
er A 10 cent tip and cannot afford to
give him quarter, but moral coward
ice drives you to let him have the
quarter. The quarter is the most beau
tiful silver coin in the world. 1T is of
the most convenient size. Mix up a
lot of dimes, nickels and copper cents
In your pocket, and your sense of touch
balks at distinguishing between them.
You must haul out a handful of chick
en- feed for visual Identification. A
quarter you can tell from anything by
