Whit Is KNOWN About Fish.

Pliny, the great naturalist, who lived
at about the time of Christ reckoned
the whole number of known species of
fish at ninety-four. Linnaus, the great
Swedish Investigator of the eighteenth
century, could classify 47S, and he is
known to have been the greatest ich-
thyologist of the age in which lie lived.
The progress made in that particular
branch since the time of Linnpus
seems al the more wonderful, for now
1900 species show up in the cata-
logues of the fish specialists.

MISTAKES OF BIRDS.
They Are the Result of Contact with
CiyiIizntiOn.

Probably i'll state or Wild nature
birds never make mistakes but where
they come in contact with our civiliZa-
ton and are confronted by new condi-
tions they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance. their cunning in
nest building sometimes deserts them.
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma
tcrial, but now and then it is betrayed
into weaving into its structure snowy
and bizarre bits of this or that. which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind.
| have the picture of Il robins nest be-
fore me upon the outside of which are
stuck Il small muslin flower, leaf
from small calendar and photo
graph of Il local celebrity. \ more
incongruouS Use of material in bird
architecture it would be hard to find.
| have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside of which the bird had
fastened a wooden label from a near
by flower bed marked Wake Robin"
Still another nest | have seen built
upon a large. snowy foundation of the
paperlikc flowers of antcnnaria. or ev-
erlasting The wood thrush frequently
weavcs a fragment of newspaper or a
white rag into the foundation of its
nest. EVIL communications corrupt
good manners" The newspaper and
the rag bag unscttlc the wits Of the
birds.
The phTbe bird is capable of this
kind of mistake or indiscStion, All the
past generations of her tHbc have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites, usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks and the art of adapting
the nest to it's surroundings. blending
it with them. has been highly devel.
Oped. But phnbc now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches,
where. so far as cOnccalment is con-
cerned, a change of material say from
moss to dry grass or shreds Of bark,
would be an advantage to her But she
departs not mite from the family ira
ditionS; she uses the same woody
mOsses which in some cases, especially
when the nest is placed upon unevenly
sawed timber, makes her secret an
open one to all eyes.-John Burroughs
in Century.

Some day I'll come to that still place
And bid the vintner smooth my bed.
No hurry OF departure there.
No waking when the morn is red.
The same kind trees will sing to me
Day after day. night after night:
The wind that wanders In the grass
Will bring no tidings OF the fight
From that still hostelry Of rest
I'll mark the seasons pass along
And clean forget the things unwon,
The pain of the unfinished song.
No man will come when dawn is chill
(The false hopes of my dreams to break)
To tell me that the horses wait
Or of some boat that | must take.
Night will not find me journeying
(Where pallid roads In dusk are seO
On some FOOLS errand down the world,
Hag ridden by an old regret.
Noon will not find me clustering
About the anterooms OF kings.

But junketing with many things.
Some day III turn my horses head
To that still hostelry OF rest
And vex no more the south and north

Loves Choice.

Though It were given to me to choose do
main
On any of a thousand spheres designed
OF splendors unimagined by the mind.
Where naught be known of poverty or
pain,
But pure and pangless pleasures did OBJ
tain.
And there did dwell the fairest woman
kind.
Mid sweetest odors waited on the wind
With music of a soft and soothing strain.
Yet would l hold such surely proffered
bliss
But lightly as dreams delusive rave
And turn to this dull earth without
repine,
If. as | toied obscurely to the grave
Along the verge of ruins precipice,
! held one loving hand-and II were

F1REMEN,s WAGES RAISED.

Galveston. Tex, March 19.-The fire men on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe have received an increase of wages which will average 121z per cent. For several days a committee from the lo- comotive fremen have been in confer ,ence with General Manager Nixon of the Santa Fe seeking an increase in pay. When the conference adjourned it was announced that an amicable settlement had been made and that the company and men were we'll saffs- lied. The firemen were the last of the employees to ask for an increase, the trainmen, engineers and switch men having been granted the advance

bottles were found containing castor oil, one bearing the label of New Britain druggist. She also had a dream and fortHne-telling book and a piece of paper which contained a horo- scope for March IA. A transfer from the Hartford Street Railway Go of March 14 was also found among her effects. In addition the woman had several railroad time tables and much writing on scraps of paper that was not intelligible.
 During the morning she asked MatrOn Hubbard for one of her dresses to put on, and then she wanted an un- derskirt. The underskirt which she claimed to have had in her bundles was missing. She charged Mrs Hubbard with having taken it. The woman had 75 cents in money. When the woman tried to get away from Mrs Hubbard she, gave a shove and started down the stairs. The matron caught her by the hand and put thumb grip on. her that made her drop, to the floor. The stranger told the matron she would have shot her if she had a revolver.
 It was learned that the woman had been in Marwick's drug store few days ago and had some raspberry mash. She was then dressed as a woman. The soda clerk was preparing two glasses of ice cream soda for customers and the mysterious woman leaned over the soda counter to see 44-m work. He pushed her back. Then she picked up a glass that had been left by GUS toner, partly filled with Moxie. She asked the clerk to put some ice cream in the glass. The clerk supposed she | was crazy.
 Chief Ryan sent word of the case to the Springfield police and learned that the woman had been in that city with Devine. It was not known where they had stopped or, what they had been doing. The Springfield officials were inclined to believe the woman was q shoplifter She told Chief Ryan that she was well versed in law and if taken before the judge she would give him some points about law that he did ] not know. She said she knew more l about law than the average lawyer l The chief thought she was a smart woman and did not know what to | make of her.
 An effort will be made to find out 1 more about her. She dressed in wo ! mems clothing yesterday afternoon and was taken to the almshouse. She did not want to go. She seemed to have
 much hatred for the police and said 1 they dogged her wherever she went 1 She told Mrs Hubbard that one of the reasons she wore mems clothing was to avoid being bothered by the police.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Held a Short Meeting and Transacted
 Routine Business.

1t took only few minutes last even ing for the board of education to dis pose of its business. Vice Chairman Kent presided. The board was noti- fled by the board of public works to appear before that body at its next meeting relative to the sewer on West Side hill for the Russell school. An application for an appointment in the schools was received from Miss Clara E. Vaughan of Westfield, Mass.
 Inspector Smith reported the fur naces at the Bank street school in 8 state of collapse, and that soft coal will have to be used in them next winter. Superintendent Tinker reported that some physicians refuse to give chill dren certificate of s'successfuT' vac- cination. There appears to be some fault found with the phraseology of the certificate, but as the form has been adopted by the board of health the board of education will insist upon phy- sicians complying with the law. Prog 5ress on the normal school matter was reported /
 Commissioner Goodenough inquired if sociology is taught in the schools, and Superintendent Tinker replied that civics goes hand in hand with United States history throughout the entire system of education in the schools, and that one book on sociology itself is taught in the High school. This ap- peared to satisfy the commissioner.
 Apparently some of the members of the board are determined on getting after the teachers. Commissioner Griggs inquired wnat time recess at hpoi11cx ho hoI teachers on the streets as early as ii :45 o'clock. He did not understand how this could be, or should be, if school is not let out until noon. Superintendent Tinker informed him that recess be- gins at 11:45 o'clock and that school be- gins at S:45 o'clock.
 There was some talk about the bill for $145 against the state for the use of the High school by the military some time ago. Some of the members of the board could not understand why there should have been so much talk about it. Superintendent Tinker stated that the bill was small matter to make the most of it, that it was not sent for the use of the school building, but for telephone messages, extra labor and damage to furniture Major Til lotson, the officer in charge of the men who were Quartered in the building, told the school officials to send in their bill to the state comptroller. One item in the. bill was for telephone messages. Major Tillotson did not think it would be fair to have the department of edu- cation pay this. It seems the people of Danbury, who are up on their ear about the normal school matter, have made handle of this bill against the city and are using it for all it is worth. The explanation appeared to satisfy the members. The payroIls were then approved and the board adjourned.

 Sending His Children to School.

sending His Children to Scnool.
 Judge Burpee presided at city court to-day and disposed of two cases. Jos eph Gerrera was charged with failing to send his daughter, aged Il years, TO school.

She is one of five children ana her father keeps her home to LOOK alter two or three younger than she IS. Iru- ant Officer Hurley saw her picking coa1 in an ash heap last week and sent her to school The teacher sent her nome to get washed and that was the last seen of her. As her father promised to keep her at school the matter was continued a week.
 John Grida. aged 10 years, was charged with incorrigibility. The boys father testified that he cannot keep him at school and his teacher, Miss ScanIon of the Merriam school, testl- fed that he is tractable at school, DuI freouently he takes a vacation or weeks at a time. He was committed to the industrial school.

JUDGE BUBPEE INDoRsED.
Committee on Judicial Nominations
 Hears Arguments.

Committee on Judicial Nominations
 Hears Arguments.
 The committee on judicial nom1na- tions yesterday heard several gentie men in support of a resolution appoanu ing L. F. Burpee judge of the city court of Waterbury. City Attorney hellogs said that he was glad of the chance to vouch for Judge Burpee's ability Integrity as he had known him long time, and in his opinion no better appointment could be made. Chair man Eckhard asked him what he had to say regarding Judge Burpee's con- nection with the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company. MT Kellogg replied that there was no force ln the objection as all cases in which the cor poration was directly or indirectly in terested had been heard by the associ- ate judge.
 Senator Tracy said that Judge Bur pee had held his office for six years, and there never had been any criticism of his acts until within the past sixty days. His connection with the trol- ley company did not interfere with his usefulness as a judge and he be- lieved that seven n-eighths of the people of Waterbury were in favor of his ap- pointment.
 States Attorney Williams said that as resident of Derby he was able to say that the opposition of Representa- tive Sweeney of that town did not represent the feelings of all the resi- dents He had known Judge Burpee for some time and could vouch for him as able, intelligent and impartial, and could say that he had the support of the bar of New Haven county.
 John W. Alling of New Haven fol- lowed, saying that the opposition to Judge Burpee was in the nature of a boycott and ought not to be considered by the committee for a moment. Rep resentative Lines of Waterbury also briefly in1orsed the resolution There was no opposition to this or to resoIu- tions appointing judges and assistant judges of the courts in Naugatuck, Wallingford, Torrington, Derby, New Britain and Branford.

A DELICATE OPERATION.
Child's Arm, Collarbone and Shoulder
 blade Amputated.

=
 blade Amputated.
 Pittsburg, March 19.-Surgeons at the Mercy hospital here have ampu- tated the complete right upper extremi- ty of a child of years. The amputa- tion included, besides the arm, the col Iarbone and shoulder blade. It took almost an hour and half. The little girls name is Amelia Zewe.
 A malignant growth at the shoulder, infecting the whole upper extremity, and which would soon have infected the whole body and caused death, made the operation necessary.
 Only once before has the operation been attempted .on a child ? years old, and in that case the patient died. s The Zewef child stood the operation well and it is thought she will re- cover.
