Y" -
Thermoneterism.

Probably the best advice that can
be offered citizens during the cold
snap is to wear warm clothing and
have very little to do with the Their
mometer. The thermometer is
interesting reading, but it is a poor
comforter. Tt is an agitator, a
disturber, a breeder of restlessness
and discomfort.
Many a man starts for his work
in the morning buOyant and
cheerful until he meets the shivering
thermometer fiend who announces
that it is fifteen or twenty degrees
below zero. Then his bouyancy
and cheerfulness depart and he, too,
shivers. He shivers all the. rest of
the day, perhaps for several more
days, or until the thermometer fiend
assures him that the mercury has
resumed normal level.
The strange influence of the Their
mometer over human beings consti-
tutes a kind of disease that ought to
be called 'tthermometeritis. . 1t is
alarmingly infectious, though sci
ence has not located the germ.
There is very old adage to the
effect that a man is as Old as he
feels. With equal truth it may be
stated that a man is as cold as it
feels and no colder It is the
thermometer that interrupts the
operation of this simple law. The
man feels that he is as cold as the
thel mometer says he is. He
accepts it's decision without chal-
lenge He may have warm feet,
but a mere hint of the reading Of
the thermometer, first J. or, second
hand, reliable, or unreliable,
convinces him that he has cold feet.
The thermometer fend will go on
taking his orders from Fahrenheit.
IT, by any chance, his
thermometer should register sc
degrees III the shade i'll February,
he would wade through snow banks
looking for strawberries. If by
similar mercurial disorder the
thermometer should indicate &c
below zero in July, he would reach
for his fur coat and sealskin
underwear. The thermometer
fiend cannot be argued with, but
he can be avoided. Side step him
whenever you can and turn the face
of the thermometer to the wall.

Machen recited the circumstances
surrounding the interview with him in
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow's office, and said that at that
time he regarded Bristow as his per-
sonal enemy He was under great
strain and tension, he said, and this,
together with the knowledge that
Bristow was unfriendly to him, caused
him studiously to avoid answering any
questions touching his personal affairs
When he stepped from the stand his

DEMURRER OvERRULED.
Attorney Has Filed Notice That He Will Appeal to Supreme Court.

Attorney John O'NeilFs famous de- murrer in the suit of John +. Fitz- gerald against the Scovill Manufactur- ing Go, has been overruled by Judge Shumway of the superior court and MT O'Neill has filed notice that he will appeal to the supreme court MT O'Neill is counsel for plaintiff in the case and Judge Burpeo represents the defendant company. The demurrer was to the defendants substituted answer which claimed that under the could not enter suit against the com pany. The statute of limitations linn it's the period for entering suit against such concerns as the defendant to one year, according to Judge Shumwny's s ruling on this demurrer. Fitzgerald lost part of a finger while operating Il power press and did not enter suit un- til about a year and a half after the injury occurred.
 Mir O'NefIl's demurrer was based on constitutional grounds. Paragraph 2 says that the provisions of Section 1119 of the general statutes of this state is in violation of the constftu- ton of the United States, in that they deny the plaintiff the equal protection of the law; they confer upon the de- fendant privileges and immlnities from liabilities not conferred upon the plaintiff or upon other citizens lnless they be corporations.
 And the final paragraph says in eff feet, the same statute deprives this plaintiff of equal rights and confers upon the defendant exclusive privi- leges in that an action for injuries for negligence must be brought against corporation within one year after the injury, while an action to re- cover for injuries for negligence of individuals may be brought within six years.
