AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Old Hose spanner Dug Up Near River
 Street Factory.

Old Hose Spanner Dug Up Near River
 Street Factory.
 Chief Lounsbury. of the fire depart ment, has come into possession of an interesting relic of the local fire depart ment in former days. It is in the shape of a brass spanner used to couple and uncouple hose. which was used here dur ing the middle of thelastcentury.
 The article. which is of brass and much similar in design to those used at present, was unearthed some time ago near the old Tweedy plant on River street by Stephen B. Treadwell, who was excavating for a foundation for some stone work. Mir. Treadwell took the article home with him simply as an old piece of brass. A short time ago he cltaned it and found an inscription on each side. On one side was engraved in the brass, Aetna, 1929 On the other the inscription said, wv. H. Tweedy, 1S47. William H. Tweedy was mem Der of the firm that operated the plant at that time, and was also a member of the volunteer fire department. It is supposed that this spanner was presen- ted to him in 1S47 by the Aetna Fire In- surance company. The spanner was presented by Mir. Treadwell to Chief unsbury.-Danbury News.

 We glance blankly around our sadly disarranged library. my husband and I, sink speechlessly into our respective easy chair. We are weary almost to extinction-weary with toiling cease lessly through the long day for the benefit of of others. It is our first free moment. Now, Cor the first time since early morning, has come an op- portunity for mutual interchange of condolences for mental rest and re- freshment, for a few blessed moments of prayer and thanksgivings-and we are almost too tired to avail ousleves of it. Moreover, we are both haunted still with nnfilled duties which will of a certainty confront us on the morrow, when, perhaps, even more trying experi- ences will await us. I, for one, recall with dismay that need my attention; the appealing arrears of correspond ence that have been accumulat- ing; the private devotions. for which I have literally had no time; the Sun day school lessons, which have not so much as glanced at, not to speak of the hundred and one homelier domestic tasks which daily crop up in every household, servants or not. And I drag my aching limbs ustairs and pass into the children's room for final good night peep at my slumbering treas ures.-New York Tribune.

THE CONTEMPORARY H1sToRI

CAL NOVEL
 It has been lately said, and very well said, indeed, by Professor Brander Mat thews that the best of all historical novels is that which deals with contem- porary history. Unfortunately, 1t is the rarest type It seems almost automatic that any writer can treat best the life that he himself has lived and known, and the further he separates himself from the scene of his story, either by time or space, the less sure must his touch become Most modern noveiists have learned this lesson as far as the locality of their stories goes. The novel of India or of Iceland or the Uganda Protectorate is left to those who have been there, and can write from actual knowledge Yet it is only a year ago that young American author of con- siderable talent confessed to being en- gagged upon story of Arizona, the whole plot of which was study of the effect of climate upon temperament, and when asked how long residence in Arizona had been required as prepa- ration for the work. confessed to never having been in the state, but offered as qualifications six months knowledge of Southern California and the ae- quaintance of a man who passed through Arizona on his way back to New York. A curious fact in connec- ton with this book is that it has since enjoyed a comfortable degree of popu- lar success From the Historical Novel and Some Recent Books, by Frederic Faber Cooper, in the February Book

A SPLENDID ADDRESS
DELIVERED AT HYPERION LAST
 EVENING

By Rev. John P. chsdyvick, a Former
 U. s. N. Chaplain, Under tho Auspices
 of tho St. Aloysius T. A. E. Society.
 An evenings entertainment of un- common interest was that afforded to the public by the St. Aloysius T. A. B. society in the Hyperion last evening. The concert, as it was termed, was for the benefit of the society. which lost all of it's valuables during the recent fire in the Hoadley building.
 The programme opened with selec- lions by the City Military band, which were followed with a programme of vo- cal music by Miss Margaret Hogan, Miss Marie T. Hugo, Miss Mae Gorden, John R. Booth. Carl A. Mears and Mas ter Edward Isaacs, and Instrumental numbers by Miss Gertrude Harold and John Naughton. There were also selec- tions by double quartettes from the Yale Glee and Banjo clubs. The num- bers were all much enjoyed and encores were frequent.
 The principal feature of the evening was an oration by Rev. John F. Chid- wick, formerly chaplain of the United States navy and who was in that ca pacity when the disaster of the Maine occurred in Havana harbor. Father Chidwick related some of the facts which led up to the terrible conflict be- tween this country and Spain, and told circumstances which would have con- vinced most any one of the justifiable- ness of the course which the United States pursued in the war.
 The large audience was held to the closest attention by the very eloquent words of the reverend gentlemen. The discourse lasted for more than an hour.

HOW STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
 ARE MADE.

AXE MALE.
 The twentieth century American stained glass maker follows without im- portant variation the simple methods of the French monk of eight centuries ago. The first requisite is the design. The artist makes a small water-color sketch to show the general design and color scheme, accompanying it with detailed studies. From this two large drawings or cartoons are made, the exact size of the desired window. One cartoon shows where the leads will be placed the thin strips of lead, hollowed on both sides and looking in a transverse section like the letter H, which form the framework to bind the pieces of glass together. Another drawing gives the size and shape of each piece of glass. This cartoon is cut into it's component pieces by a pair Cor triplet) of three bladed scissors, which leave between their parallel blades a space sufficient for the leads. These cut-out patterns are put together again on a large glass easel, to which they are attached by wax. and the spaces between areblack- ened in, to give the effect of the leads. The easel is then placed against a win dow where the light can stream through it. The artist or his substitute replaces each paper pattern on the easel by a piece of glass of exactly the same size, cut from sheet of glass of the color called for by the color sketch. The sketch is not followed slavishly; experi- ment with the actual glass will suggest improvements. To a greater or less ex- tent this stained glass is supplemented by painted glass, on which the colors are fired as in china painting. When all the pieces have been cut, they are transferred to the Heading" drawing; the flexible leads are twisted into shape and soldered at the joints, and a special cement applied to make thewhole water tight The window is now complete, ready to be put in position, where it is made secure by copper wires fastened to the transverse bars of iron.--From ''The Revival of an Ancient Art: Mod- ern Stained Glass Work in the Febru- ary Booklovers' Magazine.
