CAN'T USE THEM.
Americas Inventions Are often REM
dered Useless by stupid
English builders.

All Americans who have lived in
London will have noticed the curious
facility with which Engl!shmen con-
trive to neu,r&lize American inven-
tions by adopting them only in part.
1t is a symptom OF the national myopia
which will never uureseryedly admit
that the English way Of doing things
is not the best, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser.
Any American in London could give
a dozen instances of this trait, and
they would embrace most conceivable
things, from railroad car couplings 10
elevators, cocktails and soda foua-
taius.
The genius who put up the building
in which ! occupy fiat may serve as
an example. lie was evidently infec.-
ed with American ideas. He had heard
of elevators and dumb-waiters aad
speaking tubes and he had made up
his mind to lead all London by includ-
ing these cuuyen;ences in his Hat
houses.
But instead of connecting the speak
.ng-tube with The kitchen, he put il
just outside he drawing-roum. So chat
II it were used at all, the entire house
hold would have to oyerhcar the
struggles of the servants with the
tradesmen; and instead of running
up the dumb-Waitcr alongside the
kitchen or war"y. he placed it out
side 'hc ia. altogether. in the hall,

Statistics of the country relating TO
physicians indicate the possibility if
not the actuality, OF oNcrcrowdtng in
the medical profession. 1t was found
in the census year that there was
one registered physician to every 655
people in the United States. That the
number is in excess of the need is
evidenced by comparison with Ger
many, where, in 1898, there was only
one physician TO each Ella inhab-
itants, or relatively about one-third
as many as in the United States.

In safety.

AN interesting case of sOmnambul-
ism is reported by NJ. Badaire, director
OF the normal school at BIois. France.

writes DR.. Il. Osgood Mason, in the
Ladies' Home journal. Chico
phie Janicaud was pupil at the nor
NAL school, and in the month Of July
of his second year he commenced to
walk in his sleep. On one occasion he
got up at night. determined to go fish
ing. His brother-in-law, NJ. Simonet,
decided to accompany him, but before
starting he induced him to alter his
plans and go and visit a relative in
stead Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and un-
disturbed by the barking dogs or the
fatigue of a long walk.
"Finally, he was ready TO return,
and on the way, coming to narrow
and dangerous path close to the river,
his hrUther-in-law cautioned him to
go carefully in the darkness. Jani-
caud, with some scorn, declared that
he could see the better of the two, and
TO prove il asked Simonet if he could
see the match under his foot, and,
sure enough. there was match. II
was dark night, and besides Jani-
caud was some 30 feet ahead of him
and had his nightcap drawn closely
over his face"

THE LATE LEWIS NORTHROP
knowing Of your circulation in this
portion of our State l try to write
something of our loss which consider
is such, the death of Lewis Northror,
late Captain of Company E. 23d regi-
ment, Connecticut volunteers. The
captain was born in the town of Ridge
field, about 6S years ago and came to
George town when about II years of
age to learn the carpenter s trade with
the late John O st John. When he
graduated he was Il carpenter in the
full sense of the word. lie shortly en-
tered the employ of the Gilbert &
Bennett Manufacturing company in
whose services he almost continually
served until the outbreak of the Civil
war when the Georgetown Company of
the Conn cticut National Guard of
mouSly volunteered and became Com
pany E, 23d Connecticut Volunteers, a
nine months regiment. This occurred
in the last of August, 1862, but the
regiment served one year. During
this one years service, Comrade Nor
throp, by well earned attention to duty
was justly promoted to captain and
came home as such, being discharged
at New Haven the last of August,
1868. He was a man to whom 81
meant 100 cents and his wOrl was as
good as his bond. He was member
of the'James E. Moore Post, G.lA. r.,
of Danbury, also of Ark No. 80, F. &
A. M, of Georgetown, of which he was
a charter member and when he die d
was in full fellowship with both. His
funeral was attended by both orders
in uniform. His shopmates turned
out in good form and furnished an
elegant column of flowers such as is
seldom seen. The funeral sermon by
the Rev U. O. Mohr was ''Thy Brother
Sleepeth," and the writer wishes it
were only so that it might be printed.
