IyYELY rTMhs.

Lively times in New Haven. A big dedication, the police investigation, Civil Service Reform. the Whitney ave nue monument. etc, etc. all furnish subjects for much solemn talk-talk that is characterized by wisdom, high morality, just little snobbishness, and some prophecy. Men meet each other on the street, in clubland and else where, comfortably lament the dis jointed condition of things, mildly cuss matters and men they don't like or ap- prove, thank God silently or vocifer- ously that they themselves are all right, and not yet in jail or the poorhouse, and give condescending pity to those who are not as comfortable and we'll satisfied with themselves as they are. It is a great show, and though it is a kind of continuous performance which Il has been running a long time present indications are that it will run a long time longer, and continue to be as in- teresting as ever.
 But let us beware of getting too ex- cited and earnest. Tomorrow will
 bring another day, and we don't want
 to tire ourselves so that we shall not
 be able to talk then. The pleasures of
 talk, like many other pleasures, must
 be taken moderately to be most enjoy | ed. And how pleasant it is to talk and talk and talk. Talk makes life worth living, and enables us all to feel that we are factors in Progress, Reform and other good and noble things. Parrots
 can talk a little initatively, but how much better off they would be if they could talk as much and as originally as we human beings can.

PERsIsrExr nUmoRs DENIED.


 There has been persistent talk that the Chinese are preparing to pitch into Russia. but Dr. George Morrison. the correspondent of the London Times in Pekin, gives the full weight of his au- thority to the denial of the rumors that the Chinese are meditating breach of neutrality against Russia. He can find. he says. no justification for such stories anywhere. Most of them. he re- marks, may be traced to inspired Ger man sources, and he notes further that Germany would welcome the removal from the Chi-li viceroyalty of Yuan Shih-kai, the strongest of native off, cials. who has always opposed the rail- road aspirations of Germany in Shan tung and Chi-li. believing them to be not less ambitious than were those of Russia in Manchuria. Obyi@usly, as he points out, a well-engineered agita- ton, suggesting that Yuan Shih-kai harbored designs of assisting Japan by force of arms, might induce the Chin ese government to transfer him to a more distant viceroyalty. It is true that occasional articles appear in the native press giving expression to the ! indignation felt against Russian troops for destroying neutral Chinese villages while fleeing from the Japanese, and urging China to assist Japan against the common enemy, but these articles, says Dr. Morrison, though cited by foreign ministers as an indication of the intention of China, need not be talk en seriously. He confirms the report that the Chinese are making large pur- chases. of arms and ammunition, but | they are doing this without any meth cd or system. In many cases the am munition is quite unsuited to the weapons.

4 .IUNT .TUDGE

There is a Denver judge who knows the rights and wrongs of things, and he has just shown his judicial quality by declaring that it is impossible tn conceive of circumstances under which a man would be justified in punishing his wife. The case was one in which Nettie Bragg sued Sam R. Bragg for divorce. The Braggs were married in Goodiand, Kansas, in 1898, and Bragg lis machinist working for the Rock Island railroad In the divorce suit Mrs. Bragg testified that her husband was of a rowing disposition and want ed her to travel from place to place. When they went to Denver last year she resolved to make that city her per- Imanent home. But the husband in sisted on moving away, and one night when she had told him positively that she would not move again, he put her lover his knee and gave her spank ling. 'He spanked me for fifteen min lutes," testified the wife, and he spanked me so hard that I became
 black and blue from the punishment" ]" Then the just judge gave her divorce and said that no husband ever ought to punish his wife.
 There are many husbands who need
 whippings that they do not get from | their wives, but no wife ever deserves
 whipping. When wives seem can
 tankerous it is because their feelings
 have been hurt, and not because they

 mean or ugly, and they would always
 be angelic if husbands were not both

4 coon BOSTON NOTION.

Boston has some good notions, and
 among them is the annual Work Horse
 Parade, which has just taken place.
 The object of those who got this notion Iinto practice was to stimulate both towners and drivers of work horses to take more interest in their appearance
 as we'll as their welfare. There is much good-natured rivalry among both driv- CTS and owners, and the premiums are distributed in such a manner as to in ilcite the pride of both. These premiums lare divided into groups of four, and each prize includes a sum of money for the driver a ribbon for the horse and a diploma for the owner. This year ithere were two hundred and seventy of the prizes, and the standard reached by most of the participants in the pa- rade was high. One particularly inter- esting feature of the parade was the "old-horse class" It was open to horses which had served their present owners
 ten years or more. There were thirty entries, and all the animals were in fine condition. The prizes, consisting of gold and silver medals and sums of money, were offered by the Society for 1 the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Animal Rescue League and indi- Ividuals. Prizes also were given to driv- CTS who had been in one position for twenty years or more. The first prize went to the employe of a coal company who had held his position for thirty nine years.
 | When New Haven gets past it's pres ent spasm of Reform it might we'll take an interest in this Boston notion. A work horse parade here would be much more interesting, pleasant and valuable
 than some of the parades that are made.

A number of French tradesmen are on their way to the swamps of Florida to secure a supply of healthy young alligators for breeding purposes. It is proposed to establish in the South of France a farm for the propagation of the saurians. Alligator skin is made into leather that seems to strike the French aesthetic taste as the neatest for all forms of ornamental work, as well as for bags and shoes.

Wireless telegraphy is apparently go- ing to be a good thing for Iceland. The Icelandic parliament has voted com pany an annual subsidy of over nine thousand dollars for twenty years, and it is proposed to establish communica- tion not only from the capital town, Reykjavik, to other parts of the island, but also from the island itself to Scot land or the Shetlands. The distance to Scotland is only five hundred and twen- ty miles, and the Shetlands are even nearer.

T come from the Master on the wings of love to bring little gifts to those who doeth the Masters bid ding, which sayeth, Be fruitful and re- pIenish the earth Thereupon it plucked tiny feather from it's wing, which gently descended until it was cradled in the arms of Mrs. Ernest Vroman.

A series of interesting firing trials was recently undertaken by the Swed- ish government. The purpose of these experiments was to examine the effect of shooting against pasteboard. The trials were conducted on the wharves of the Swedish navy in Karlskrons, and the target used was a prepared one of millboard, against which fire from re- volvers, rifles, carbines and machine guns was directed. The pasteboard, which was three inches thick, resisted completely the bullets fired from the small arms, but was perforated by the projectiles from the machine guns. The experiments may be said to have given very interesting results. Bullets from the carbines used are able to penetrate wooden blanks five inches in thickness, but they could not penetrate the paste board, which was only three inches thick.
