A SHORT CALENDAR.
Bssach sf lromiss Suit Principal
 Business Argued.

The principal matter argued at short calendar in the district court to- day before Judge Cowell was the de- fendant's demurrer in the breach of promise suit of George BayaM against Alice l.. Wrai for $5,000 dam ages. Attorney Lauber, counsel for the defendant, maintained that .Att0r- ney Kelley, counsel for the plaintiff. should have stated in his complaint whether or not his client was married and that it made all the difference in the world with his defense to have the matter stated. He held that prom ise or an agreement to marry is en- tirely different in every respect from any other kind of promise or agree ment. Judge Cowell held that it was open presumption that the plaintiff was of course unmarried at the time of the alleged promise to marry. The presumption of innocence envelops every man until he is found guilty and 1t must be presumed that no man will commit a crime, especially one that would confine him in the state prison.
 Attorney Kelley held that it made no difference whatever whether or not the alleged essential point was stated in the complaint. It should of course be taken for granted that mo person would bring a suit for breach of prom- ise unless he or she were single at the time, otherwise the contract could not hold good. Decision was reserved. Cases assigned for hearing were George D. Boyd against Miller X Peck, Monday: E. c. Packard against American Soda Fountain Co, Tues, day; Joseph Prentz against James H Killian, Wednesday: Mary A. Lawlol against the city of Waterbury, Fri. day; E. A. Lewis against D.

 The features of the game were the fine work of Piatt and Bolger, the Democrat battery, Sullivan's two-bag- ger with the bases full, and the star first base playing of Flynn. In the sixth Piatt retired in favor of Carty, and the Republicans took a liking to his curves by hammering the ball for five runs. Piatt went in and finished the game and no more damage result ed. Mattoon, the Republican pitcher, pitched well, but he did not get the support he deserved. ''Mugsy" Finner- ty was in the game every minute and played star ball. The umpires were NJ. J.

 After you have given the time and the energy in spading and digging and hoeing and raking your garden spot into shape, have spent money for good seeds that you have carefully planted you certainly expect to have a crop of nice luscious vegetables, providing ;. you have given the garden the proper cultivation. You will not have, though If you do not feed the soil that is to feed the plants that are to grow into feed for you. Don't expect an impov. erished soil to grow vegetables, says the Farmers Review That is one of the impossibilities. If you do not know 1t now you will find it out to your regret and cost if you try it. Give the garden the heaviest dressing oi fertilizers of any spot on the farm Use all the old, well-rotted manure that you have available and then ado a liberal quantity of such of the com mercial fertilizers as your soil most needs. and nearly all soils need all ol the elements of fertility to grow vege tables to perfection. Buy of reliable manufacturer some of his best com plete vegetable manure and apply fl at the rate o{ from 1000 to 2,0O( pounds per ac1. It will cost some thing to do tEs, but the return tha will be madIto you in the crop will amply repHryou for the expense.

The Folly of betting.

Lord Brampton, better known as Sir
Henry Hawkins. the great English
criminal lawyer, judge and sportsman,
in his "reminiscences, in telling of what
cured him of betting, relates that Harry
Hill, one of the characters" of latter
sails, gave him this piece of advice as
a youth:
'Mr. Hawkins. l see you come here
pretty regularly on Sunday afternoons,
but l advise you not to speculate
among us, for if you do We shall beat
you. We know our business better
than you do, and you'll get nothing out
Of us any more than we should get out
OF you if we were able to dabble in
your law, for you know that business
better than we do"

ORIGIN OF PARISHES.
They Were Founded In 66S by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.

They Were Founded In 66S by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
Theodore, archbishop of Canterbury
in 6GS, is regarded as the founder Of
the parochial system. Parishes were
originally measured by and made to
follow the lines Of existing townships,
a parish being, in short the township
in its ecclesiastical character. Where
a township was too small to require
or to support a separate church and
priest two or more townships were
united to form one parish.
In other cases the clergy of immortal
churches built by the mobiles had no
jurisdiction over parish extending to
the limits of their lords estate. Thus
no legislative act was needed, and par
ishes We're mapped out gradually, as
the multiplication of churches and Cler-
gy, which Theodore did so much to eff
feet, made it desirable to define clearly
the areas within which the clergy had
to work, 1t was not till long after
TheodOre's death-Green says about
the middle of the eighth century-that
this division of the country into par
ishes was completed. - London Tele-

A WOMAN'S NAME.
Origin of the Custom of Changing
ID When She Marries.

Origin of the Custom of Changing
II When She Marries.
The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name Of
her husband at marriage is involved in
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that it originated
from q Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
of England. Thus Julia and OCtavia,
married to POmpey and Cicero, were
called by the Romans Julia of Pom
pey and Octavia of Cicero, and in later
times the married women of most Eu-
ropean countries signed their names in
the same way, but omitted the of"
as late as the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the Seventeenth century a
Catherine Parr signed her name with
out any change. though she had been
twice married. We also hear of Lady
Jane Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella
Stuart, not Seymour, etc. Some think
that the custom originated with the
Scriptural idcf that the husband and
wife are one. This was the rule of
law as far back as 12GS. and it was de-
Cided in the case of Bon versus Smith
in the reign of Elizabeth that a woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives the name of her
husband. New York Herald.

sacrifice for the female sex or for the
young Is part of the scheme of nature,
and every male thing is strong and

story which illustrates this point. Two
entomologists, hunting at night, clam

lanterns and found themselves in field
filled with sheep. The result of their
coming was panic and a furious STAN

there was a ram among them, and as

THE PORTABLE WATCH.
II Was Probably First Used In the
sixteenth Century.

II Was Probably First Used In the
sixteenth Century.
There is uncertainty as to when the
portable watch, us we understand it to-
day, came into use. 1t was probably
at the close of the sixteenth century.
Queen Elizabeth owned n large num-
Der of watches. Mary, queen of Scots,
was the pOSSessOr Of a skull shaped
watch. In fact the deaths head"
pattern was ut that time much in
vogue. Endless were the styles, for
there were watches shaped like books,
pears, butterflies and tulips. The
Nuremberg egg was a special shape
and was first made in 1900. Those
queer shapes Of watches prevented
their finding a place in the pocket.
When was the fob first used in the
dress of man. The German of fob is
"fuppc," and it is believed that it came
from England through the Puritans,
whose dislike for display may have
induced them to conceal their time
keepers from the public gaze" This
conjecture is strengthened by the fact
that short fob chain attached to u
watch of Oliver Cromwell in the Brit
ish museum is in point of date the first
appendage of the kind known. The
watch is a small oval one in a silver
case and was made about 1925 by
John Midnall of Fleet street.

they made wry faces, for it was moth

was he who, having been reproved by
the judge of a certain court for pre-

emphasis upon the last names of the
jurors. Max King, Henry Prince,
George Duke, William Marquis, Ed

Baron, Edmund knight, Peter Esquire,
George Gentleman, Robert Yeoman,
Stephen Pope, Humphrey Cardinal,
William Bishop, John Abbot, Richard

had subsidized the presiding judge, ac-
