Between seventy and eighty were present and passed a most enjoy able evening. There was an unusual large number of luncheons and dinners at the club the last week, but the chef was in his element and MT. Mortland the steward was equal to the demands. The University men of Litchfield county had the rare opportunity again Friday evening of enjoying the hospi- tality of MT. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel. formerly of New Haven, at their pala- tial residence in Norfolk, the occasion being the fifth annual meeting of the Litchtield County University club. Membership in this unique club is counted great privilege. but it is when the members, entertained by the founders and patrons of the club, that they feel especially favored. The deco rations for the occasion were very beautiful In the center of the room was suspended an eXquisitely beauti- ful ball of mountain laurel, radiating from which were a number of stream CTS in various coors. Other decora tions consisted of college banners, flags paintings, etchings and paraphernalia representing such sports as tennis baseball, golf, fencing, hunting, fish ing, horsemanship, boating, and also art, literature, music. science, etc. A raised table occupied one side back of which were the national colors in the form of a shield surrounded by flags and crowned with a liberty cap, above was the clubs crest. At this table sat President Coy, Justice Jerome of New York, Dr. J. E. Clarke, Professor E. H. Forbes, Professor Seligman of Colum- bia university, Judge G. M. Caring ton, Rev. J. c. Goddard Hon. T. s. Gold, Hon. Donald T. Warner, Principal H. w. Carter. and Professor Frederick Diehlman of New York. Rev.

Delmonico of New York was the caterer
 Frank Lea Short, the stage director and instructor, will have a dramatic
 
 ing one day each week to New Haven pupils. It is doubtful if any city in this country of the size and importance of New Haven is without a school of acting. MT. Shorts headquarters will still be in New York where he will have studio in Carnegie hall, where the American Academy of the Dra- matic Arts, of which he is an enthu- siastic alumnus, Is also located MT. Short sailed for Naples on Saturday for rest and study, He has produced four plays since Easter, "The Fair Maid of the West" at Yale, Elijah for the May festival, AS You Like It. at Rosemary HalP' and ''The Tempest at Wells college. and his labors in con- nection with those productions, all pre- senting unusual problems, have made him feel in need of rest MT.

SOCIALIST SPEAKS,

John Spargo of New York delivered an address on Socialism" at Trades Council hall, room 24, Insurance build ing Saturday evening.
The Press., 1901-08-08

There was much difficulty in intro
lucing the potato into France. 1t was
only toward the end of the reign Of
Louis XIV that it began to be used.
The learned had opposed its introduc-
ton Systematically, saying 1t produced
leprosy, and the common people re-
fused to test it even on their live stock.
A trick at last established it. Fields
were planted all over France with po-
tatoes and carefully guarded until the
tubers were ripe, 1t being given out
that these fields were growing a new
thing specially for the king and that
trespassers would be prosecuted. Now.
the laws at that time were severe. A
man might be hanged when he hunted
in the wild forest, for the game was
the seigneur's, almost each one of
whom kept his private gallows. Tres
pass against the king implied. there
fore, terrible punishment.
The danger Of the punishment proved
Itself an alluring bait. AS the contriv-
er, wise in foresight, had seen, the
fields that were purposely left unguard-
ed were pillaged right and left. the po-
tatoes eaten, some kept and planted
and the tuber at last effectually intro
duced in France.

PERFUMED CIGARS.
The Ones General Rosecrans Once
offered to a Friend.

The Ones General ROsecrans Once
offered to a Friend.
One Of the stories told by old en-
ployees in the treasury department at
Washington is Of the time when Gen.
eral Rosecrans was register. The gen.
eral never smoked and knew nothing
about cigars. He determined, however,
to have a box Of good cigars handy for
the benefit Of friends who might drop
into the registers Office. The general
accordingly purchased box of expen-
sive cigars, put them in drawer and
forgot all about them for some time.
Then, one day, when a friend was call
ing, the general remembered the cigars
and brought them out.
II know nothing about CIGARS" said
Rosecrans, "but am told that these
are very fine"
His friend lighted cigar, and look
Of pain and horror instantly overspread
his face. He tried to conceal his feel
lngs and puffed manfully at the cigar
for several seconds. Then Rosecrans,
noticing that he was growing pale, ask
ed what was the trouble.
General" said the visitor, II don't
want to be ungrateful, but I'm afraid
it's this cigar"
"Impossiblew exclaimed Rosecrans.
"Why, when bought them 1 was told
that they were the finest cigars on the
market"
"Well, general, you were deceived.
The cigar tastes and smells exactly as
If 1t were made Of camphor."
"Camphorv' stammered Rosecrans.
looking chapfallen. "Why, never
thought, but perhaps camphor does in
jure a cigar" And, reaching into the
drawer, he brought to view several gar
ments filed with camphor balls. "Do
you suppose that can be the trouble7''
he inquired.

ssSWeatiMHO Bees.

The process known as Sweating" is
not confined to human beings. 1t is
applied to bees by some up to date
keepers.
The natural tendency of the bee to
work and it's great dislike to idleness
are made use of to the fullest extent.
Honey is a product that yields good
profit, so the beekeeper brings the
flowers as near as may be to the hive
and induces his insect gatherers to
work hard to collect the honey from
them.
An expert beekeeper gives the fol-
lowing idea of what they will do. Sew
enty-five acres of land planted with
white clover or sanfoin will keep 100
hives busy during the three summer
months. The yield Of honey for each
fine day is ten pounds per acre, and as
the plant flowers twice and remains in
bloom for a week very often the total
yield is 10000 pounds.
Combmaking is lighter and less dan
gerous work than gathering honey, so
the young bees usually perform this
task. But the keeper wants them all
to work and work hard, so he provides
the base Of the comb in natural size
and pure wax. That leaves less work
to be done at home, and the bees 60
out Immediately there is nothing more
for them to do inside. The keeper also
takes care to constantly empty the
combs, SO that the bees shall always
be laboring to fill it.-London Stand

DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN.
A Robbery That Was Witnessed b
N Woman During Sleeu

Robbery That Was Witnessed by
a Woman During Sleep.
A lady spending the summer in the
country, some 20 miles from her city
residence, dreamed that the latter was
robbed, she herself being a witness of
the robbery. In her dream she saw two
men, one Of whom limped, in the act
Of rummaging some trunks in the hall.
A candle stuck by means Of it's own
wax on the newell post Illuminated the
scene with a dim light.
After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to q
closet, from which they removed cur
tains and hangings stored for the sum-
mer months. The dreamer observed
that they overlooked her most valuable
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport
ed to her birthplace at Auburn. N. Y,
where she especially noted the bronze
figure Of an Indian which surmounts
the prison edifice.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres
ent. five of whom are now living and
vouch for the fact. Subsequently it
was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post
were the marks Of the candle. The
curtains had all been taken but the best
set, which were found where the dream
err had seen them.
Suspicion was directed to a painter
who had been at work on the house,
who was lame and who disappeared
Immediately after the robbery. Inves-
tigation of this mans character showed
that he had served a term In the Au-
burn penitentiary.-Hea Culture.
