0AKVlLLE HAPPENINGS

Leslie Archer. who conducts q livery stable in Waterbury. was looking for q strayed horse in this village to-day. Two young men who had hired one of his outfits left the animal unhitched before Mr Angles house on East street, beyond l.. w. Dubois's. and it sudden ly disappeared. Despite all searching the wandering beast had not yet been located up to late hour this forenoon. AS the horse had not been seen to pass by the neighhors on either side, Mir Archer was of the opinion that it had followed some cart path and gone into the woods. .
 Owing to the stormy weather and bad going. the Newton Heights school held only the forenoon session to-day.
 A cordial invitation is extended to the Rev j. A. Stanfields Oakville par ishioners tQ attend the reception which he and Mrs Stantield will hold at their home in Wateryille next Tuesday from, s to ] and [ to 9 p. m.

After consultation with Hen- " Hulst, an cngiiieer. he has decided on the outline of the loop. His plan calls for . ring twelve feet in height.

AMERICANS AT OXFORD.
ExpeYiences of Rhodes Scholarship
 Winners nt English University.


 A Cecil Rhodes scholarship winne, at Oxford university who came from the United States, noticing that his na- tional custom of casual expectoration did not obtain in Oxford, announced his intention with engaging candor of doing his best to break himself of that harmless but unnecessary habit, says the London Express. And if I cant get quit of it without" he said. "l guess I'll give up smoking right away"
 At the treatments sports in Novem- ber, when W. E. Schutt, an American, carried of all the long distance races, easily defeating the pick of English public school athletes who came into residence in October last, the cheers which greeted him as he, broke the tape lacked nothing of sincerity and good fellowship.
 The Rhodes scholar cannot under stand the proctors. It is a constant source of wonder to him that young man of age to think and act for him self should he subjected 10 the police man-like supervision of gentleman in . velvet gown who patrols the streets at night. The dean of well known college asked a Rhodes scholar the other day if he had had a talk with his tutor yet. Crhe tutor referred to was % in moral rather than a scholastic sense, Well" was the reply, "a little man with brown beard came and talked to me yesterday as if he reck- oned to be my father, but I guess he ain't" Nor was this said in any spirit of ingratitude. but rather as an asser- tion of the right of young American of one and twenty to look after him Veif.

On the down trip the party could not ap preciate bed. and all slept on the floor. Now they take to the beds as naturally as they do to seal oil on their native heath. and. strange as it may seem. none of them is homesick. and alI are anxious to return to tho United States.
 One of the articles that were taken back by the head man of the party is q stovepipe hat. IIo saw President Roosevelt wearing a high silk hat nj tho worlds fair. and when told that it was the president who wore 1t he at once commissioned Mir. Bales to go out and buy him one.

MABEL PAGES DEATH
Cambridge Trial Develops Im'
 portant Testimony.
BODY DRAGGED TO UPPER BEDROOM
Amy Roberts. . Servant. Identified Scnrfpin Belonging to Dead Girl Said to Have Been Found on
 PrisOncr Tucker.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. 12.-One of the most interesting pieces of testi- mony yet offered by the prosecution in the trial of Charles l.. Tucker. charged with the murder of Mabel Page. came when Amy Roberts, servant in the Page household, statei that scarfpin which had been found in the defend ants overcoat pocket was the property of Miss Page and was in a pincushlon on the latter's bureau on the day be- fore the murder The witness identi- fled the pin by the design and two pe- culiar bends in the shaft. Tucker leaned forward as Miss Roberts iden- tified the pin. He showed no emotion and quickly settled back in his seat.
 Miss Roberts further testified that on the day Tucker called at the Page house to see Harold Page he also talked with Mabel Page. Miss Page and he, the witness said. were together in the living room of the Page home for about ten minutes. This was the first testimony introduced tending to VNttblISu thdl u'hfi was with the murdered woman.
 To questions intended to strengthen the governments theory that Miss Page was murdered in n room on the first floor and her body dragged to her bedroom on the second floor Miss Rob erts replied that there were blood stains on the outer panels of the doors leading from the hall to Miss Pages room. After the murder she had mo- ticed that rug in the upper hall had nearer the door of Miss Pages bed room.
 Marked interest was aroused when General Jophanus II. Whitney of the district police told of conversation he had with Tucker at tho Newton po- lice station on the night that the pris- oner was placed under arrest. General Whitney stated that after Tucker had been confronted with the knife sheath and the broken knife blade he buried gee. This knife makes bad case against me
 According to the detective Tucker said he was going away for two ar three, months or until the affair had blown over''
 The appearance nf Mrs. Esther De yong. secondhand clothing dealer of Boston. as a witness caused Tucker again to lean forward in his customary attitude when interested. Mrs Deyong testified that m March 23 Tucker sold her a revolver for s2 and on March o5 Tucker wanted to sell her a hunting knife. He refused her offer for the knife. but sold her some old clothes which he hRd brought in a suit case.
 Tucker bore himself with his GUS tomsry air of nonchaIance. hut showed more than usual interest in the days testimony.

After Tests Experts Say Pressure
 Falls as One Goes Higher.
 Careful scientific tests were recently made by medical experts at Colorado Springs to determine whether the blood pressure, like the pulse, increases with altitude, says Denver special dispatch to the New York Times. The subjects employed were young and healthy stu dents of Colorado college, and the tests were unusually thorough in character.
 The results, it is asserted, show that twenty-two healthy adults of an aver age age of twenty years. at rest and in sitting position in Colorado Springs, presented a slightly lower blood pres sure than the same number under the same conditions did at the sea level and that these latter when taken to the top of Pike's peak had a lower blood pressure than that observed at COCO feet, while after three and half hours spent on Pikes peak the average blood pressure was found to have fallen lower than when they first arrived.
 The average pulse rate increased as the tension became lower-that is. q pulse of so minute at Colorado Springs became pulse of SC on Pike's peak and after three and half hours rose to go. while normal blood pres sure of 13O in Colorado Springs fell to 121 on reaching the summit, and three and a half hours later it had fallen to 11S.

SCIENTIST SAYS THAT
 MEN STILL HAVE TAILS

If man evolved from the lower an-
 finals he lost, among many other
 things. tail or caudal appendix, for while tho lower end Of tho spine is composed of series of bones which gradually diminish in size they are curved inward and form 8 necessary floor and support for organs in the ab- dominal cavity, says an exchange. Nevertheless, Lhe last several veter- brae known as the coccyx sometimes takes the shape of a caudal extremity in many, whiic occasionally there Is . neshy or bony tail appended to the coccyx.
 Traditions of tailed men are cid. In almost every country there iiavo beon stories of tailed men. At one time 1t was commonly thought that ell Cor nishmen- had tails. and some mon of Kent were believed to be afflicted with tails as a penalty for their insult to Thomas a-Becket. In the seventeenth century struys. q Dutch traveller Tn Formosa, described a wild man cap- tured and prepared for execution who had tail more than foot long which was covered with hair, resembling that of c COW.
 The Niam Mans of Central Africa are reputed to have tails. some being smooth and others hairy. which are usually rom two to ten incnes long. Hutsch says that both men and wo- men of this people have tails. Carpus, in one of his commentaries said that there were some people in Hibernia with long tails, although their real character was not known or their pos- sessors could not be examined Of course, it is known that some supp posed tailed races reported by sea captains and others are really only ex- amples of savages who are in the hab- 1t of wearing artificial appsaGagcs about the waist. composed Of palm leaves or hair.
 A Wesleyan missionary by the name of George Brown in 1878 spoke of a regular breeding of tailed race in Kali, off the coast of New Britain. Tailless children were slain at birth. because they would be exposed to the ridicule of the people. In Borneo there are hereditary tailed races. and tailed races of princes have .uIsd Ka- joopootana, being proud of their ar- cestral mark. There are stories told of canoes in the East Indies which have holes in their benches made for the tails of their rowers. At enc pe- riod in the past the possession of q tail by an East Indian was regarded as 2 sign of great physical power.
 In Paraguay 1t is said there is a tribe of Indians who possess tails. A story respecting them Is to the effect that one day number of workmen
