Ring. of Fungous Growth.

Before people studied nature to learn
the truth and when they delighted In
all sorts of fancies 1t was claimed that
rings of fungous growths were caused
by the dancing of fairies. by a thun-
derbolt entering the ground or by the
work of moles Various other equally
absurd explanations have been given
Now we know that the first fungous
plant growing from a spore takes from
the soil under and near 1t all or most
Of the special food that the plant re-
quires. Only the spores from this plant
that fall just outside the exhausted soil
win find good fungous food, and so the
circle of successive growths widens
because only the spores outside Of the
ring can find food.-St. Nicholas.

Violet For Mourning.

It was not by accident that violet
was chosen by many nations as the ex-
elusive color for mourning and by Us
also for half mourning. Painters suf-
fering from hysteria and neurasthenia
will be inclined to cover their pictures
uniformly with the color most In &C
cordance with their condition of lassi-
tude and exhaustion. Thus originate
the violet pictures Of Manet and his
school, which spring from no actually
observable aspect OF nature, but from
subjective view due to conditions Of
the nerves. When the entire surface

Two rude gravers were fashioned
from a narrow saw blade; in lieu of
the customary box wood, a neighbour
ing apple tree was climbed, a sea,
soned branch sawed off and pla led
and polished. The picture to be en-
graved was transferred to it's surface
and little instruction as to how to
use the tools was given with the en-
couraging remark that if he made sat-
istactory progress an opening in the
near future might be made for him.
The opening soon came, and at the
expiration of four years, having &C.
quired all that the New Haven office
was capable of imparting to him, Mr..
Hayes went to New York, finding a
home and employment with Benjamin
f. Childs of the American Tract so.
ciety. Mr.. Childs was one of the
most mastery of the old school of en-
gravers, and it was under his tutelage
that he really acquired his skill in
the art. After few years Mr.. Hayes,
wearying of city life, and being some
what delicate in health, retired to
pleasant country nook near New Ha-
ven, where for over 20 years he busily
piled his graver, reproducing much
of the best work of the designers of
the day for both books and magazines.
1t has been several years now since
Mr.. Hayes laid down the graver, and
the art instinct has found outlet in
depletion of Connecticut valley land
scapes in both oils and water colors.
His inclination was always toward
landscape, and it was that : he best
loved to engrave. Forest park afford

Bazaar at Goodwill Hall.

The bazaar of St Michael's parish in Wateryi1le attracted another large crowd last evening and Goodwill hall was the scene of one of the merriest gatherings which the hall has seen in some time, large delegations of people from Waterbury, Oakville and other surrounding towns being in attendance. Last evening the affair was in charge of Division 1, A. O. H., and they certainly made very creditable showing. This evening the married men of the parish will have charge and they have gone to considerable expense in securing tal- ent for the entertainment. In addi- tion to a tug of war match between Washington Hill and Brooklyn, they have secured the services of Joseph inc and Anna Foy, who will render several musical selections. A comedy sketch will also be given, the cast consisting of Cecilia Smith, Helen Donovan, Florence Smith, Hazel White, Florence and William Web ster.

We'll, We'll,

Isn't it fortunate that we have a good board of health? What would we do without them! May they live long and die happy. We understand they will make at least one citizen contented by giving him about $500 per month to look after our health and happiness. Of course there are more to come, but let us hope the monthly dues will not exceed the first slice. Wouldn't 1t be a good idea to have the board of health look after our new ''cinder park and see if it's healthy location, and If it is, see that the caretakers will receive pay enough to eke out living so that they may always enjoy good health. Say, our board of health are fine representation for our city. They are about as healthy looking lot of men as you could wish 10 throw your optics on. Would that the whole community were as healthy. We'll, it's an easy matter to enjoy good health; but you cant have good health if you do not pay attention to what you eat and drink. For instance, some people will drink tea and coffee simply because it's made in a tea or coffee pot, never thinking about quality; but our pa irons are different; they know what the good kind is, and you will if you give us one trial.

QUIET POLITICAL WORK.
Race for Senatorial Honors in the
 Fourth and Fifth Wards.

fI
 A good deal of political work is being done in the fourth and fifth wards in connection with the race for senatorial honors on the demo- cratic side of the house and he would be bright man who could tell at this time which of the three aspir- ants, Lynch, Phelan or Hurley, will come off victorious. A great effort is being made to secure the nomination for MT Hurley and even now some are willing to wager that he will be the next senator from the sixteenth district. Notwithstanding this, the packers of MT Phelans appear in no way discouraged, while those who are carrying the Lynch banner claim that they know the people will in dorse their candidate. This is the situation at the present time, so that no matter which wins the prize it is safe to predict that the sprinting match will be lively affair.
