THE SENSE OF TRAFFIC.
A Good Thing For Those In Crowded
 Centers to Cultivate.

Every town dweller should cultivate his sense of traffic" At first this means that be will take every step in crowded thoroughfare with reasoned consciousness. He will never think of his business or his pleasure while he is in the street, but only of the way in which he is going. of what is before him. of what is on either side of him and of what he is leaving behind him. At every crossing be will settle his course, so to speak, and look out for dangers from every point of the com pass. After very few weeks of this careful self regulation he will develop the sense of traffic" Without know ing it he will see and hear and realize all that moves about him. He will au- tomatically avoid collision. and it will be as impossible for him to take step at the wrong time as it was formerly difficult for him 10 take it at the right one. He will at the same time pre- serve his person and Tighten the labors of the policeman. Street accidents oc- cur to those who have no sense of traffc."-London Lancet.

HE MAGICAL DURHAM.
It Brings the Hishest Price of Any
 Oriental Fruita

It Brings the Hishest Price of Aay
 Oriental Fruits
 It was at the height Of the durian season. when all animal kind in Malay, two legged and four legged, is animet- ed by an insati ble lust for the fruit It. self and quick to fill with savage anger against whatever stands In the way of satisfying it's appetite, for not the least remarkable quality of this remarkable fruit is the amatory effect it has upon those who consume it, says Caspar Whitney in Outing. All durian eating Malays, man and beast, are aname with erotic fire The jungle resounds with the fighting of loyelorn brutes and the towns awaken to courtship.
 The durian is about the size of pineapple, with a similarly rough out side covering armed with half inch spikes which are tough and sharp. It grows on trees fully sixty feet in height whose trunks are bare of limbs except at the very top. and when the fruit ripens it drops to the ground. So as the season approaches natives erect small huts under the tree or near by. from which they watch for the falling fruit.
 Those who are fortunate enough to have such trees growing on their own land practically live on the income de rived from the sale of the durian. for in the peninsular market 1t brings the highest price of any eastern fruit In the jungle edge. where these trees have no ownership. the race to build the first hut and thus establish proprietary in- terest in the falling fruit Is equal in in- tensity to a land rush. and In the jun gle the natives must compete also with the wild beasts that share mans fond ness for this extraordinary fruit.
 Once in the jungle as sat smoking puzzling out some lost seladang tracks, a falling durian attracted my atten- tion. The nearby trees seemed alive with monkeys racing to first reach the ground. One monkey that had been left al the post. so to say. deliberately dived from the top of the tree where he sat. fully forty feet. into the top of smaller tree below. whence he swung 10 the ground But. though he beat out the others, the durian had disappeared. A small Ieops rd-like creature had sneaked of the fruit and was too ab- sorbed in watching the aerial flight of the monkey 10 get more than glimpse of the thief. The troop of monkeys that instantly forgathered discussed the situation loudly and in very ob- vious anger.

A >cn,cL ,oIlir Sforx.

A story of Scotch collie is current on the Derbyshire border. according to the Dundee Advertiser. A farmer in the Peak district. having purchased . small flock of sheep in the lowlands, drove the flock the whole way from Scotland to his farm in Derbyshirs with the aid of q collie dog which was lent to him by the Scotch farmer from whom he purchased the sheep. When you get to your home with the sheep" said the Scotchman. let tho dog nll bis belly: then tell him to go home" The Derbyshire man duly arrived at his farm with the sheep and was so pleased with the collie dog and its per formance that he decided to keep It few days before sending it back. One day he was away from home during the whole of the day. and on returning in the evening he found that the Scotch collie was missing and also the flock of sheep. Tn a few days tidings came that the dog had arrived at his Scotch home and had brought the sheep back with him.

WOODROW NEWS
Bik Lawn Fste Last Evening Was .
 Grand Success.

i The greatest social event given al l the Connecticut shore this year was | the lawn fete which was held last i night at Woodmont on the lawn ol 1 Joseph A. Jackson, the well known
 architect. The affair was given fol l the benefit of the Altar society o. | WoOdmont of which Mrs Jackson is president. and to whose efficient man 1 agement much of the success of the 1 9ffair was due.
 | The grounds were beautifully deco I rated with hundreds of Japanese Ian, | terms. many of them kindly loaned by l Mir Blackall and other interested neigh l bors. In the back yard there was an l orange tree. which was not only very l pretty but which was quite a success 1 from financial standpoint. This was designed by Mrs McNerney of Water bury Then there was tent occupiec by palmist and fortune teller, who
 was kept busy all evening. This part l of the entertainment was in charge O. Mrs Bolan and Miss Secrecy of Water
 bury.
 The ice cream and cake were served at large and small tables scattered all over the grounds by many ladies under the direction of the Misses Walsh and Mrs NewcOmbe.
 All through the evening music was Hiscoursed by an orchestra from Bridgeport. and after the cards dane ing was enjoyed.
 Some of the features were produc- tive of great fun for the spectators. The fishing pond. in charge of Mir;
 Merrill of Plainyille. assisted by M. and Mrs Quigley. was largely patron iZed. and the spacious veranda was scarcely large enough to accommodate the many who wished to play the diff ferent games provided by the Misses Kennedy and Miss Daily of Naugatuck. The prizes in this section were a fancy vase. won by Miss Cassie Aus tin of Woodmont. and souvenir steins won by Edward Winkler of Woodmont and James E. Nolan of Milford. Mas ter Alfred Jackson had charge of the art gallery and some of the exhibits were not only novel but quite artistic
 There was a doll booth for the little girls and fancy work table for the big folks. in charge of Mrs Shepard and Mary Jackson. To enumerate all the ladies who helped to make the af fair a success would be to write list of the summer residents of Woodmont, and the ladies of the Altar society are very much encouraged by the cordia. response to their appeal for help for the new mission. Among the callers during the evening were the Rev Fathers Mclean. Downes. Dolan and Mitchell of the Milford mission band. and the Rev Dr and Mrs Anderson of the borough of WoodmOnt.

A Curious Story.

In "A Diary From Dixie" by Mary Boyd Chestnut, there is curious story of beautiful Washington girl. Matte Reedy. who. weary of the abuse that her northern friends showered upon the southern general John Morgan, took up the cudgels in his defense. What's your name?" asked an officer. turning fiercely upon her. "My name now is Matte Reedy," was the answer, but, please God, I shall one day call myself Mrs. John Morgan" Up to this time she had never met or even seen John Morgan. Somehow the story came to his ears. He sought her out, courted her and married her.
