THE SENSES OF sAvAGEs.

There is a widespread notion, chiefly due, perhaps. to the pages of romance, that man in primitive state is possessed of far finer senses than his more civilized brother. His practised eye will detect moving object on the distant prairie which would be quite invisible to European, and his ear would at the same time give him warn ing which would be quite inaudible to his educated brother. The superiority of savage man in these respects was put to the test during the cambridge An thropological Expedition to Torres Strait in 1899. the second volumne of the reports of which has recently been published. This is the first time that any attempt has been made to test the senses of savages by skilled observers and modern instruments. Most of the observations referred to were carried by pr. Rivers and Messrs. Meyers and McDougall on Murray Island; and the natives seem to have co-operated with the experimenters when they learned that the trials were designed to show how superior they were to white men in seeing and hearing. The result of four months careful tests was the de- duction that the visual acuteness of the natives was only slightly superior to that of the average European. ber's Journal.

WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY.

The verse which he published filled him with a right and honest pride, be-
 cause he recognized in it the meaning of Solomon's line, chosen out of thous- ands. He denied himself, therefore. He by his self-denial, by his sitting of dross from the gold of his work set him. self among the gods who take their mirth from the joy Of the earth" who do not grieve for it's pain" There is the note of the true Henley; he did not grieve for the pain of the earth. And who were they to cast a reproaci1. al him therefore, whose life was a daily penance of physical suffering? When his place has been assigned in the great roll call of England's literature, it will be said of him that though he hardened his heart to men that pleased him not, though he valued as nothing the abuse cf the unintelligents though he endured the taunts of the foolish by reason of a polity in life which he courted with an

NINETY YEARS OLD.
Rev. Dr. Chesebrough's Birthday, Au-
 gust 22.

Rev. Dr. Chesebrough's Birthday, Au- gust 22.
 To-day, Augusut 22. 190S, Rev. Dr. Amos s. Chesebrough is ninety years of age, and his many friends through the state will be sending him their cordial congratulations. His long life has been of credit to himself and of use to the world. At his present advanced age he f is still erect and vigorous, keeps up his wide interest in affairs, and conducts his correspondence, reads his "Cour- ant and other papers and books--and is only ninety years old because he was |, born August 22, 1913. If a man is as young as he feels, he Is still in his six | ties.
 Dr. Chesebrough was the son of Enoch Stanton Chesebrough and Sally Shef- I field Chesebrough, daughter, of Cap
 tain Amos and Sally Goddard Sheffield.
 He is sixth in descent from William l Chesebrough (who sailed from Cowes
 with John Winthrop, was one of the founders of Boston and first white set-
 tier of stonington in 1s49),- and his
 grandfather was Lieutenant Nathaniel SHeStuFpuSH, hA OIliCCI III thS INSNUlu" tion. Amos s. Chesebrough fitted for
 college under John Kirby, a tutour who
 was graduate of Dublin university, entered Yale in the sophomore year in 1882 and graduated in 1885. Among his
 classmates were J. A. Ayres, father of
 W. A. Ayres of this city. Professor
 John Brocklesby of Trinity, and Profess sor Tommy" Thacher of Yale, a, name dear to several generations of Yale men. Of the seventy-five members of the class the triennial shows only two sur viving beside Dr. Chesebrough; they are Josiah Abbott and John Varock Dodge. Dr. Chesebrough graduated from the Yale Divinity school in 1s40, after hav- ing served for one year each as princi- pal of Hopkins Academy at Hadley Mass, and of Westfeld Academy. His health was not vigorous and it failed in 1853, after he had been for twelve years settled as pastor of the Congregational church at Chester in this state. Then he travelled abroad and on his return supplied pulpits for while in Meri-

den and West Meriden, and in 1858 took the pastorate of the First church in Glastonbury. After serving there for ten years his health again broke down. Subsequently he supplied the pulpit at Vernon, 1s71-7s, and at Durham, 1S76-S2. In 1882 he removed to saybrook, his wife's native place, and retired from &C., tive work in the ministry.
 In 1S41 he married Harriet Chapman of saybrook, daughter of George H. Chapman. Mrs. Chesebrough died in 1897 and in 1898 he removed to New Hartford to live with his dauughter, Mrs. Jones, wife of Captain H. R. Jones, editor of the New Hartford Tribune D MT. and Mrs. Chesebrouugh had three children, Sarah, wife of Captain Jones, Harriet, who died in 1870, and Sheffield, who lives in St. Louuis. There are eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
 pr. Chesebrough was made a fellow of Yale in 1875 and retired in 1884. Yale gave him the honorary degree of D. D. in 1885. For many years he was a prominent, figure in the Connecticut pull pit and he was staunch friend of Dr. Horace BushneIl-Hartford Courant

IMPRESSIONS WHILE DROWNING.

Most of us, I expect, at some time or other, have wondered what it feels like to be drowned. If we have never seen any one drowning. we mean by this that we wonder whether it is at all like what it is represented to be-whether ones whole life passes before ones eyes like a dream; whether one spends ones last few moments in wishing one had spent more profitably the last few years. Ie we have seen people drown | ing. we wonder whether it feels as bad | as it looks. Now. I cannot pretend to have been nearly drowned. Nor can say what it feels like to sink, after a prolonged struggle, in calm water with in sight of land. But can say what it feels to be quite convinced that one is going to be drowned and I am happy to know, from personal experience, that the feeling is one merely of disapoint- ment. One is simply annoyed-certainly not angry; certainly not afraid. Hu- I bert Walter in Blackwood's.

The Vegetable Caterpillar of New
zealand and Some of Its Strik-
Ing Pecul la rifles.


l.. I. Chambers, of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, forwards us some of the extraor-
binary vegetable caterpillars" of New
Zealand. Many insects. including some
grasshoppers and the common house fly,
are subject to fungus diseases that cause
death and greatly distort the form, but
none takes so strange development as
the subject of the illustration. The fol-
lowing description is from New Zea-
land After Fifty Years." by Wakefield.
Any notice, however brief, of the in
scots OF New Zealand, would be imper-
feet. without some account of the odd
est insect in existence. 1t is not easy to
decide whether it ought to De described
under the fauna or the fora of New Zea-
land, for it is at least as much vegetable
as animal, and, indeed, in its final stage,
it Is vegetable and nothing else. This Is

other lines, making an elaborate and in
tricate pattern when finished.
In No. 2 the thread must be carried
under the material, making a stitch on
the wrong side, and after the outside
lines are worked it will not be at all
difficult to finish the pattern.

And what more serviceable than tray

Any design is excellent for a work bag
when followed out in pale lavender and
a medium shade of yellow. For the
fringe, ravel out about five inches Of the
buck, and, making fine knot on the
wrong side, draw through alternate
threads of lavender, yellow and black,
about quarter of an inch apart, cut
ting it off the length of the other fringe.
Now knot these together in some simple
manner, and desirable and useful bag
will be the result. 1t may have a cas-
ing and ribbons to draw it together and
be stitched all around on the machine,
and it will be as good as new each time
it is washed.
The New York Herald says that after
becoming accustomed to the work the
most elaborate patterns may be fol-
lowed, and will usually be found hand
somer If the design has double line.
Anything can be adapted to this work
that has sharp corners and diagonal
lines, as, for instance, the old patterns
for cross stitch.
