MANS LOVE OF NATURE.
When Wearied with Intellectual Fur suits He Turns to Her
 for Rest.

The more man has become engaged in the conflicts of civilization, Tn intellect ual disappointment, the mere he has felt the uselessness of knowledge, the more he has turned to certain expressions of art as an escape. He has addressed poems to nature, has painted landscapes more and more, has shown in every way that such an escape was a dream. do not mean, writes John La Farge, in Me- Clure's, that such records of art have be- gun late, only that the more complex forms, especially such as those that paintings give, are more evident to us Art has existed from the very beginning, even before the first man stuttered out his naming of the animals and expressed their character oy the sound of their name. The dances of savages, as we call them, that is to Say, of people of earlier forms of civilization, invented before the arts of design, record in poetic way what they do, and the seasons of such doing, and even the appearance of na- ture-the storm, the rain, the clouds blowing across the sky, the flashing of the sea against the shore Tn Fiji they have dance where the women spread out their arms like the wave lines of the surf, and the children, springing up be- hind them, represent the foam of tho wave crests. From these beginnings, we know that tragedy and comedy, as we call them, have grown. Then, as all these disappear in fact, they are record ed in the art of painting. And as man more and more leaves behind him life of out of doors. in so much does he de- sire to admire it.

The first Iclause of the instrument provided for a trust fund of $2,o00, to be held in the name of a faithful old horse. Tony, which had served the physician continu- |ously for nearly 23 years. The clause in the will was as follows: "In case that lmy horse, Tony, which have used for nearly 23 years, survives me. order that Is2, ,000 of my estate be placed in trust at six per cent. per annum, and said inter est used for his food shelter and care lso long as he lives. and after his death said s2,000 shall be divided among my legal heirs.m

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.
Free Delivery at Naugatuck Discussed
 Again at Washington.

The subject of free rural delivery at Naugatuck is again being agitated at Washington. An effort is being made to have an inspector look the ground over again. Congressman Sperry lodged with the department q petition from the Swedish residents around Salem street, asking for better service. They only have one carrier delivery day and would like two. They also request n letter box in front of the Swedish Lutheran church. To accommodate this section of the city another carrier is needed but 1t is very doubtful if the department will do anything further in this line, as the two attempts made in the last two years have failed to satisfy the people of Naugatuck.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.


 Possibly there might be found a person to sit through "The New Coachman," as played by Louis Si- mon, Grace Gardner and company at the Jacques, without laughing, but such a person would have to be deaf, ablind and dumb. For those who can see, MT Simon's funny business with the stepladder is uproariously funny; for those who can hear. the dialogue lbetween the supposed coachman and the presumable brdde-elect Is most amusing, while for those who can speak there Isn't minute left for uuiet between nudging ones neighbor hnd expressing satisfaction. 1t is an act that keeps everyone in roars and Inakes the theater very pandemon- Ium of laughter. Quieter in it's eff fects, but puzzling in it's mystifcation, zis the trunk act of Herbert Brooks as described in these columns yesterday. Dust how Mir Brooks makes his es- cape seems impossible of explanation, Bout he does it nevertheless. And there as fun galore In the other acts contrib 1ted by George c. Davis, J C.
