AT SOLDIERS HOME.
Concerns Major Spittle's Resignation
 as Inspector.

Stamford, Oct 12.-Despite efforts at secrecy it became known this week when Captain Edward E. Pelton, ad- jutant of the State Soldiers. home, Noroton Heights, was confirmed in- spector to succeed Major William Spittle. resigned, that Major Spittle's resignation was unanimously accept ed by Governor Roberts and the Sol diers' hospital board of Connecticut; {; that serious charges had been pre- ferred against both Major Spittle and Colonel James N. Coe, superintendent of the home. by Frederick Y. Mathis, formerly chief engineer. The charges were threshed out in several execu- tive sessions by Governor Roberts and the hospital board, and in the effort to avoid publicity every mem- Der of the board and every witness was sworn to secrecy.
 The charges against Colonel Coe and Major Spittle were preferred after Engineer Mathis had been dis missed by the executive committee of the board. Mir Mathis claimed his dismissal was the result of desire to give his position to Major Spittle, who wanted to serve the home in a dual capacity. and he gave as fur ther reason the assertion that he possessed information which. if known. would reflect unfavOrably upon the two. This information he presented to Governor Roberts and the board.
 The charges against Colonel COe were mismanagement. discrimination, graft. neglect and disobedience.
 The governor and board exoner- ated Colonel cOe promptly on all of the charges.
 In the case of Major Spittle 1t Is said that complex eXOneTatiOn was also made. There are nineteen charges against him. the most seri- ous of which is alleged conduct un- becoming an officer and a man. Major Spittle retired from the home October 1. and was succeeded by Captain Pelton. His resignation was due tO physical infirmities. Col onel Coe has been superintendent Of the home since August. 1891. The home is a state institution for the care of veterans of the civil war. of whom it houses several hundred.

DR DONALDSON FAv0RS IT.
Backs Up Roosevelt in the Matter of
 Phonetic Spelling.

St Andrews, Scotland, Oct 12.-At the opening of the winter session of St Andrews university to-day, the principal, Dr James Donaldson, showed himself to be an ardent sup porter of President Roosevelt's spell ing reform. Dr Donaldson said that he cordially favored phonetic spell ing, as children and illiterates could learn through a phonetic alphabet in quarter or a third of the time required under the present system and as millions of children were learning to read phonetic spelling would save millions of hours of wasted labor and irritating vexa- tion. IL would also help greatly in governing the colonies and depen- dencies. as 1t was of the utmost im- portance that every citizen of the British empire. whatever his native tongue. should learn English. The greatest obstacle to the learning of English would be removed when the words were spelled theoretically.
 Dr Donaldson, at the conclusion of his address. announced that Andrew Carnegie had donated s50.000 to build an addition to the library of the university. ......-

TO SOLVE POSTAL PROBLEM.
Periodical Publishers Association to Suggest Permanent Postal Tribunal.

There will soon be presented to the postal commission, which by di- rection of congress is inquiring into the workings of second class mail regulations to learn whether its classi- fication should not be grounded up- on practical rather than ideal distinc- tion," plan for the settlement of the disputes over classification long troubling the postofliee department. This plan it is expected. will take the place of the proposal of the depart ment, everywhere warmly denounced, to combine the second and third classes of mail at a uniform rate Of four cents a pound.
 The suggestion comes from the Periodical Publishers association, the organization of magazine and week ly newspaper publishers representing all the prominent periodicals in the country. ... sr.
 It is in effect that the commission recommend to congress the creation of permanent postal tribunal on the lines of the interstate commerce com- mission deals with railroad rates. Such a commission. it is cOntended. would speedily settle disputes which now cause so much friction between the department and the publishers. and at the same time would rid the second class mail of the many sheets masquerading as periodicals. while really nothing more than gratuitously circulated advertising mediums. The effect of such clearance would greatly reduce the deficit from second class mail handling and would render abortive further agitation for an in- crease in the second class rate.
 The Publishers association will suggest that such a commission he composed of three members. one nt whom should he familiar with the publishing business. IL should have jurisdiction over all matters of postal classification. with an appeal only to the United States circuit court. lt should have the right tO deny the use of the mails to viOlators and to pass on all applications for admission to second class privileges.
 With such commission weeiing out offenders against the postal reg ulations. the association believes that the present rate for second class mall should stand. except possibly in re- gaf,l to free sample copies of Peri"i- icaIs. The plan has been s5Iubmitte'i already to the pOStOfiice authorities pnI it is likely tn have their endorse rlert. If the commission ar~epts it.. st will probably be cuactel into law nt the next session of congress and permanently end ihe troubles of the raStofsice department over second class mail rates.

Adulterated Milk.

The ordinary methods Of milk adul-
teratons are easily detected by expert
examiners. 1t is reported that a
French chemist, DR.. Quesneville, has
made some experiments that point to
the probability that for some time
there has been practiced a form OF
deception in milk adulteration which
has escaped the attention Of health Of
ficers. In a paragraph in the Blrming-
ham Daily Mail it is explained that
the deficiency Of fats, whether due to
the poverty of the milk or the extrac-
ton of fats, has been covered by the
addition of foreign greasy matter. DR..
Ouesneville found that "benzine would
dissolve foreign fats without affecting
the natural fats in milk" and thus by
examining the samples which have
passed the ordinary test he discovered
such substances as pork dripping ant
cocoanut butter.

The Corner of the Pen.

There is no doubt but what the more
fresh air the swine get even during
the winter the better they feel, so In
stead Of combining them to the house,
arrange one corner or end Of the yard
SO that they may still be out Of doors
and vet bep rejected from storm. An
excellent way of doing this is to select
a space as large as necessary, facing
the south and build 1t up with gravel,
so that it is several inches higher than
the surrounding soil; then there will
be little danger of its getting damp
With old boards build a rough low
structure, covering roof and cracks
with corn stalks. Not fancy house

The Rroken Enhancement.

"It takes two to make quarrel"
10 runs an old saying, but one might
supplement 1t with the remark that
one person is quite sufficient to keep
open the breach.
When lovers quarrel each promptly
sets himself or herself to consider
whose place it Is to take the first step
toward reconciliation. Naturally, In
nine cases out of ten, they decide tnat
they themselves are the injured party
and should be sued for forgiveness.
Thus 1t often happens that two foolish
and obstinate young people, each dear
~ loving the other, make their lives
wretchedly miserable because they VIII
not sacrifice little Of their false Dig
nifty and pride to make the necessary
advances.
DO not stop to consider whose place
It Is to take the first step toward rec
onciliation. That is but trifiing mat
ter compared with the unhappiness
which the quarrel Is causing both. One
word one little look, Is all that If
necessary in the majority of cases &c
bring two fond hearts together again
If love Is to flourish between two
people they must not only each OF
slow to take offense, but be willing ant
glad to pardon at the first and faint
est sign of penitence.
1t is no sign of love for girl t.
maintain that her lover, who has OF
Tended her, is entirely in the wrong
and insist that he must come to he
and ask for forgiveness. There !
more honor and credit due to the gil
who makes the first advance than on
who magnifies 1t by expecting him t
make an apology before she show
any signs Of reconciliation. 1t ma
be more satisfactory to her pride
adopt the latter method, but 1t Is vi
worthy of true lover.
