 Thought is being recognized more and more at It's lroper value in the work of the world, material and moral.

Prac- teal demonstrations of seemingly mar vicious results are convincing minimizing and material minds Scientific experi' ments, instead of destroying the claims of the thinkers. substantiate them. and give scientific explanations.
 Professor w. c. Anderson of Yale Uni versity. lately succeeded in practically weighing the result of thoughts action. A student was placed on muscle bed, . poised on balance so that the center or gravity of his body was exactly over its center. When he was set to solving mathematical problems, the increased weight of blood at his head changed his center of pravity and caused an imme- diate dip of, the balance to that side.

A REsURRBCED SPOT.
What Waterbury and Union City Men
 Have Done for AiddIebury.


 Before the Whtttemores Kellys. Glasses, Lilleys and a few others turn ed their attention to Middlebury 1t was 8 pretty dull place. The farms in the neighborhood of Quassapaug were practically abandoned and the old folks who tried to make a living out of them had hard work to keep the wolf from the door. Why, old Tom Futile. think that was his name, who formerly owned what is now ka1own as the Whittemore farm. was as poor as a church mouse, but probably not any more so than his neighbors who dropped out of the way the past few years to make room for men who had the means to develop the soil.
 Shortly after MT Whittemore made his purchase there, the face of the earth, so to speak, commended ito change and it kept in a state of tram sition until it finally reached a point so that the old timers scarcely recog- nized the roads and stamping grounds which they knew in the time of their boyhood. Some of the roads are, now marked 'sNOt public ways" the farm houses that were grand things in the days of our granddaJs have long since disappeared, the newcomers not considering them slightly enough for chicken cocps. and in their places have been Quilt handsome structures pro- vided with everything that the most fastidious could wish for.
 The W1ffttennores, KeIlys and Glasses employ all told in the ne4ghborhood of a hundred hands, the bulk of these be- ing in the employ of the Whittemores. so tanat really the advent of wealthy mem into that heretofore deserted vil- 1age was Godsenl not only to that general The only danger that threa tens Waterbury from the pres ence oh these and other men of their class who are now getting hold of the rural districts is that the heavily taxed workingnren in the factories and stores will be put out of business on account of the excessive rate of taxa tion which will have to be maintained in order to make bolllevards to and from the country residences and the offices and business plants of their owners. To use a common express sion, the ordinary man is up against it to-day as he never has been before. Men of wealth are getting hold of the land on the outskirts These men are in position to mold public opinion and in time if will be about all mans life is worth to say aught against any thing they may decide to do. People will tell you that if taxes are high i'll Waterbury ft is because public officials are incompetent Nothing could be farther from the truth. The facts are that real estate speculators are credt- ing sentiment in favor of expansion which if catered to much longer will mean the ruin financially of people who own nothing outside what is known as the old city line. To make matters worse. the state has agents bounding municipalities with view to spending money in the rural dis tricts and as a consequence residents of the crowded districts win have to call a halt or get out themselves.
