At last came our waltz. and almost before the music had fully come to life we were reversing down the fa- nous ballroom, while dead and gone 1 ruffled and doubleted Mendleighs glared down at us from the walls. Generally speaking, don't like a man who dances well, but with him 1t doesn't seem to matter somehow; he takes the thing so seriously-with- out speaking a word or observing any conventional courtesies-that, to him. waltzing might be an affair of inter national importance! There is noth- ing frivolous about his dancing. He begins the instant the music starts, hardly going through the form of of fering his arm, and continues scien- tifically till the end. It is desper- ately attractive method--unique and eminently artistic, even though it mayn't sound SO!
 Directly the waltz was over he took me to small ante-room--little more than recess-which is only known to the Mendleigh house intimates: and then, sitting down by my side, waited, as usual for me to begin to talk By the by, before we discuss the the-floor or the music, or attack any other polite subject of conversation, let me thank you for the sweet rose and the beautiful box" I said. with brave effort at cheery friendltness.

Thousands Die of 1t Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we hava most to fear as a result of the feverish restlessness of modern civilization. It is treacherous enemy, working out its deadly effect under cover of the most tifing symptoms. The first indication of changes in the urine, frequent head aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures. 2rickly Ash Bitters is kidney remedy of the greatest merit; it is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly re- lieves the aching or sorenessthat always appears in advanced stages, cheeks the progress of the disease and through it's excellent cleansing aud regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, it brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health.

a Rent Payers Notion.

To Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
am not taxpayer but only rent
payer; but l believe my rent is much
higher because there is so much exempt
property in New Haven, and if the
Associated Civic Societies really wish
to benefit mankind they will stop some
of their psychological discussions and
petty fights with our clergymen and
help us to adopt some plan to right this
great wrong that is put upon the people
of New Haven by having so much
property exempt from taxation.
If this question can be figured out in
good, plain English without the aid of
sociological note books and charts per-
haps people who have to do real work
for q living and pay their bills may be
able to understand it. l believe that
this will do more to help develop our
Public Library than all the sociological
discussions, organ playing and tenor
solos that you can get into all the Sun
day afternoons in a year.

THE DEADLY HORSE.

The automobile has been called all
kinds of names, but it may not deserve
quite all of them. The report of the
board of coroners in New York of the
causes Of violent deaths during April
shows that fourteen such deaths were
due to horse-driven vehicles and only
two to automobiles.
1t has long been known that the horse
is a vain thing for safety. The Bible
says so, and all who know horses say
so except when they are trying to sell
horses. Automobiles can be and are
recklessly driven. So can and are
horses. Horses run away much more
than automobiles do, And they often
get uncontrollably scared. while an au-
tomobile does not. So when you think
of it 1t is not surprising to read that
the horse is more deadly in the streets
of New Haven than the automobile.
Automobile owners and drivers should
take proper pride in the good nature
of their machines, and use them so
that they will do even less damage
than they do. When the speed mania
has ceased to rage. or been confined to
proper limits, the automobile will prob
ably be as harmless a. way of getting
around as there is. It is new yet and
must be allowed to find its true place.

invention consists Of a very fine mi

a Fable for Educators.

There lives in some outlandish place
A sadly disputatious races
Theirs is a very curious case:
For, whatsoever the reason be,
1t seems they never could agree
About the color of the sea.
One section of them took the view
That it was obviously blue;
There was no doubt. they said; they
knew.
But others said. What do you mean?
The sea is obviously green,
AS can by any one be seem"
While yet another lot said, Nay,
The sea is obviously gray,
SO any one with sense would say"
The rival factions came on board
MY yacht, and earnestly implored
That L would end their dsaccord.
Thus importuned, I answered, Halt,
II seems to me you're all at fault.
DO you agree the sea is salt?"
Yes" they replied but you forget
DO you agree the sea is wet?"
They diu. We'll, let us start with that,
Let all your children get it pat,
It's quite enough for any brat.
When they are bigger let them choose
Among the greens and grays and
blues"

In vain I emptied wisdoms store:
No colorless beliefp' they swore,
And set to wrangling as before.
And still by some the oceans seen
AS blue, to others 1t is green,
Or gray, or various hues between.

Figures have been published showing
the extent to which the school children
OF Paris have taken advantage of the
free meals system. The growth of the
system is represented by curve. Be
ginning with the year 1886, when the
proportion was 1858, the curve reaches
65.3 per cent. in 1905-an increase of
nearly 30 per cent. in twenty years.
The rise is almost persistent, but not
quite 1t is continuous from 1886 to
1898, when It reaches 6S.9S per cent,
but 1t drops down until the year 1902,
after which it ascends again. Other
facts are that the progress from 1886
to 1892 was most considerable, repre-
senting the difference between 1855 and
Bell; there is a gradual rise to 6S99,
reached in 1898; after that, as I have
said, there is a decline until so is
touched; then the curse goes upward
to 64.7, the figure for 1904, and to Cos,
recorded for last year.
