STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Dr. c. A. Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, in his report of the mortality of the state for the month of May, refers to a German law in ref erence to persons advertising cures for various contagious diseases. In the ar- ticle he mentions the case of one Kur- inski, g. fisherman of Luneburg, who was sent to prison for six years for the sale of a remedy which he claimed to be a certain cure for tuberculosis of the lungs. Tn his comment on the case, Dr. Lindsley states that if such laws were enforced in Connecticut the jails would be full.
 The report also contain an article on the rendering of death certificates by physicians, many of whom give the cause of death from a disease, whether they know that death was due to that cause or not, in order, as they believe, to comply with the law.
 The statistics show that during the month of May there were 1,193 deaths in the state. This was 156 less than in April and 124 less than for May last year. ; 70. ......... ,l3s

 It is a charming and modestly told story of a splendid triumph of opti- mism, and aside from the fact that it was written by this wonderful girl, is of moving human interest.
 T was of course hampered,.' shs says, 'by my limitations, which turned to drudgery much work that might have been delightful; for they imposed upon me tedious methods of study. I was often behind in my work at a dis tance forbidden by military law: r was never ahead; and once N fell sn far behind that it seemed as if 1l might as well try to keep pace with shooting star! Experience, however, taught me to tack against wind and tide--the first lesson of life learned in college And this was easier with Miss Sullivan at the helm. I would not part with one of those struggles against the gales-'sthe winds and per- secutions of the sky They testsd my powers and developed the iny5i- Vlduality which had been advised to bring up on books at home. Although always tried to work with a cool head and steady hand, and sleep according to the law, I too was drawn into this whirlpool of confused in complete tasks. met other girls in the college halls and on the stairs whd stopped a moment to greet me, but they were rushing from lecture to ex- animation, from examination to bas- ketball practice, from practice to dra- matic rehearsal, from rehearsal to conference, and there was no time for a pleasant chat. And if the girls who had eyes and ears were overburdened and distaught, was as least no bet ter off. During four years torrent of miscellaneous knowledge poured through my fingers, and it fills me with despair to think how much of the choicest matter of this abundant stream dripped and oozed away. was eager to draw from the living; waters of wisdom; but my pitcher must have had hole in it. I was like the Danaides who poured water eter- nally into the broken urn.

I caught a glimpse of old truths in a new perspective; but I could not finger Before had got a good look,I was hurried away on the current of words, and in the effort to keep from being upset in midstream I lost sight of the bright ideas, and on reaching firm ground I was chagrined to find that it had fallen ocerboard- The idea thus irrevocably lost was often one on which depended a fort nightly composition or even three hours examination. -McClure's Ma gazine.

 The following items from the latest copy of the Trotter and Pacer were fur nished by its New Haven representa- tive:
 Charles H. Downs. vice-president of the New Haven Driving club, has pur- chased the brown mare Nellie R, a good pacer with some speed. She was for merly owned by E. M. Allender, of this city.
 Burton A. Davis, of this vicinity, re- ports that his yearling lilly Martha Di- rect has wintered we'll and is growing nicely. The young Ally was sired by Direct, POS 1-2, while her dam was the fast pacer Martha Marshall 2:06 1-4, Mr. Davis is fond of fine pair. At present his pole team is composed of Martha Marshall and Mollie Chronae, a pair sired by Chronas, 2:12 1-2, by Al cantara. A piebald mare is one of the attractive horses in the Davis stable.
 Dr. M. D. Slattery, of this city, owns the fast pacing mare Breeze, sired by Tempest q son of Brown Hal PIP 1-2. The dam of Breeze was Rance, by Ten nessee Wilkes, he by George Wilkes. Breeze is credited with a trial mile at Empire City track in 2:15 IA, and quarter in 91 seconds. Dr. slattery has recently bred the mare to the Hu- binger trotter, Metallas, 2:11.
 J. W. Spencer, of Seymour, knows good horse stock when he sees It. His latest find is a young mare with consid- erable trot and a good prospect for more, an opinion that is formed by her gait and pedigree. She was sired by Kirkstall, he by Wilkes Boy, 2:24 1-2, dam Pilly Woods (probably), sired by Hambletonian, 572. (Woods).
 Dennis Flynn and Son have the young pacer Dick Pierce, 2:35 IT, in good condition this spring. He has had so much road work that he would show we'll in a race.
 It Is pleasure to meet such men as Thomas Gallagher, of Wallingford a hotel man and horse fancier. Hereafter the Trotter and Pacer will be found on his reading table, and will be frequent ly used for reference.

A GAlME OF BASEBALL.
Grove Men and White Cities in a Farce
 @ Comedy.

| 4I Grove Men and White Cities in a Farce
 G Comedy.
 Two baseball teame, the Savin Rock Grove and the White City teams, came together Thursday morning on the Saw in Rock Baseball Grounds and met de-. feat at the hands of leathsrn sphere. High hung the summer sun in the blue empyrean vault as the Groves and the White Cities in their handsome uni- forms walked out on the diamond. But soon the sublime orb was grinnina down on the ridiculous exhibition of eighteen men chasing a sarcastic base- ball around an eighty-acre lot. It was the first game between tlesee two rival teams this season, and the first of a se- ries, which every year begins with one game that would be a disgrace to a lot of schoolboys, and ends with a final game in August that usually rivals the best performance of the leagues teams4
 The round face of the little white ball smole a smile like the smile of a Will-o- athe-wisp as it dropped from all hands, or flew here and there, and simply would not be held at any stage of the game.
 In the bleaohers and the grand stand nearly all of West haven, including bankers, showmen with rnegaphones, many screaming children and a regf- ment of bartenders made the welkin ring with their shouts and coaching, and every one thoroughly enjoyed the whole performance, even as much as the ball seemed to enjoy it, and the dis comfiture of the players heightened the fun.
 Nina innings were played and the score at the finish was: Groves, IS; White City, 12. >..a
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Grove-Bohan, 3d b.; W, Seery, G.; Carney, 2d b.; Swife, ss.; Kennedy, 1st b.; Raffile, 0. f.; Lynch, |. f.; McIugh, r. f.; H. Seery, p. .5.-.
