sHEFF ROOMS REMoDLED.

Alterations in Sheffield Hall Labora-
 tories to Meet Growing Forestry
 Classes.
 Extensive alterations are just being completed in the laboratory rooms on the second floor of Old Sheffield Hall. Dr. Deans labratory of plant physi- ology on the second floor front of this building has been enlarged by tearing out partition wall between 1t and a hall way and by connecting the new formed room with the balance room in the tower. This adds about $50 square feet of floor to the room. In this space desks to accommodate ten more men have been put in and the balances, ex- pertinent desks and other facilities of the laboratory made much more access sible The lecture room on the second floor rear, known as No. 10" has also been altered. The lecture platform has been taken out, the wall separating this room from the one adjoining 1t on the east has been partially torn away and the entire room thus formed turned into botanical laboratory much larger than the old one.
 The alterations and enlargement of the laboratories has become necessary of the increasing size of the junior forestry class which comes over in the spring to study botany and plant physi- ology in Shelf. The forestry class which will take these courses this spring numbers about forty men.

QUEER PLACE FOR A TOOTH.
Surgeon Removes. One From Mans
 Nose.

Surgeon Removes. One From Mans
 Nose.
 A singular surgical operation was performed the other day, the occasion for which was discovered by the merest accident. A citizen whose name is not necessary to give interest to the story had been ailing with light attach of grip, and as is not an unusual circum- stance where the trouble prevails, his hearing had been deadened almost to- deafness. He called his doctor, who gave him remedies for the grip, but ad- vised him to consult a specialist whom he named for the ear trouble
 This doctor succeeded in blowing" one ear out, the hearing becoming nor mhal at once. The other was more persistent and was left tefporarily while he attended to a slight stoppage in the left nostril as you look in ones face. There seemed to be hard sub stance there and the surgeon worked about it several seconds-a month the patient thought from the pain he expe- rienced. Finally forceps were brought into play and a good-sized tooth was pulled out! It must in some way have been turned from its regular course years ago and penetrated the nasal or gan.-Hartfordl Courant.

WE'LL BRED WOMEN

everywhere use Paxtine Toilet Antisep- tic as wash for the teeth and mouth, as it is unequalled for killing the germs of decay, hardening the gums, purify ing and pertaining the breath, and keeping the teeth clean and white.
 Mrs. L. M. Reynolds of New Bedford, Mass, writes; q must say Paxtine is a necessity in woman's toilet. My hus- band and I both use it as a mouth wash and for the teeth, and it is un- eq,ralled for other uses for which 1t is recommended. We have never used anything we liked so well"
 Paxtine is the formula of a noted Boston Physician, who used it with the greatest success in his private practice for years, 1t is unequalled for all uses in womans toilet where a cleansing or healing antiseptic is desired. As fast as one woman uses it she is sure to tell others of its value. Have you tried Paxtine? 50c at druggists, For sample address The R. Paxton Co.,, 75 Pope building, Boston, Mass.

LENTEN REGULATION.

Bishop Tierney's Letter to Pastors of
 the Diocese of Hartford
 In Bishop Tierney's letter, addressed to the pastors of the Roman Catholic diocese of Hartford, regarding the ob- servance of Lent, he says as to exemp- tion from fast and abstinence as fol- lows
 The church excuses from the law of fast: All persons under twenty-one or over sixty years of age; the sick and infirn, women in delicate condition; those whose labor is exhausting. Con- fessors and pastors may dispense oth- CTS for special reasons.
 It should be remembered that ex- emption from fast does not exempt from abstinence. The church exemple from abstinence the sick who are in manifest need of meat. Pastors and confessors may dispense others for suf- ficient cause,
 The Holy See has granted to working people and their families a special in- dult which dispenses them from absti- hence on all days of the year except Fridays, Ash Wednesday, Wednesday of Holy Weed and the Vigil of Christi mas. This indult is issued in favor of the laboring class who find it difficult to observe the law of abstinence Those who take advantage of this in dult are expected to perform some oth- CT work of penance as a substitute for abstinence.
 It must be remembered that those who are dispensed from the law of ab- stinence are still bound by the law of fast and are allowed the use of meat only once a day on fast days, unless they are otherwise dispensed from the law of fast.

NO ESCAPE.

Bride and Groom Raced to Escape Friends, but Were Brought to Bay.
 Miss Bertha Floro, of outhsouth Elm street, Waterbury, a boolSkeeper with the New England Watch company, be- came the bride of Ernest McClary, an employe of the New England Engineer ing company, on February 12. The ceremony was performed at 1;30 p. m. by the Rev. F. D. Walter at the par sonage of the First Methodist church, at the corner of Chestnut avenue and idgewood street. The Waterbury American says: There were some ex- citing events immediately following the ceremony. Friends of the young peo- pie who had found out where they were going to be married, emerged from nearby house and decked the hack with placards, streamers, old shoes and other things. The natural nervousness following so important a ceremony pre- vented the two from seeing what had been done. As soon as the hack start ed, however, and the streamers were swaydng in the wind they became aware that something out of the ordi- nary had happened.
 Instead of going to the Naugatuclz division station, the llacknan was di- rected to take to the back streets and go out East Main street, where the bride and groom would take a trolley car and fool the people they knew were waiting for them at the station. Look ing back, they discovered several team loads of their friends following the hack The two bade the haekman hur- ry and distance the pursuers, and the hackman tried to do SO The chase went down Chestnut avenue to John- son street, over Grove to North Main, to Cherry, to Walnut, to Welton and into East Main, the hackman's horses going at their highest speed. The chase continued as far as the Matta- tuck Manufacturing company, where the bride and groom alighted and wait ed in the little trolley station. Their friends, however. came up before the car got in and then pelted them with rice
 MT and Mrs McClary finally got away safely, but before they went they said they wouldn't send any souvenir postals to the bunch who played the trick

FEW PEACHES THIS YEAR.
J. H. Hale, King of the Growers. sa,

J. H. Hale, King of the Growers, Says
 There Will be No Commercial Crop.
 People who are fond of peaches will be interested in the. following states ment given out by J. H. Hale to the Hartford Times. The conditions of which Mir. Hale speaks as prevailing in the southern part of New Haven County, refer to the big orchards of Hale & Coleman at Seymour, where the crop has been practically ruined, it is understood:
 "The peach crop in Hartford and Holland Counties, and in many other parts of the state, was ruined by the extreme cold of the past two weeks. None of the growers in Glastonbury has been able to find a live bud and the same condition prevails in Southington, Berlin and New Britain. In the south ern part of New Haven County, to per cent of the buds are unharmed on the trees of the hardy varieties. No buds have been found on the Elbertas.
 Tn Fairfield County 10 to b per cent Ol i've DuuSF are lOuilt. IL iA1S PpA centage is well distributed over the trees and all live and develope, the crop will be full one. A tree to pro- duce its. maximum yield in size of fruit and quality should lose about S5 per cent of its buds in some way; by pick ing off the small peaches as they begin to form if they have not previously been killed by cold weather or failed to set"
 There will be no commercial crop in this section, says MT. Hale. Possibly there will be few for home use and for friends.
 In Southern Massachusetts conditions prevail as in this county, Growers in that section fail to find a single live bud. At least 25,OOO trees have been effected in North Wilbraham alone. The trees have not been killed for they will leaf out a little later, but they will fail to blossom. MT Bliss said that he was not surprised to find his buds killed. for he had come to know that the peach buds cannot withstand the weather when it is IS or 20 degrees below zero.

ON GOOD ROADS.
4 STATE EXHIBIT AN JAMES
 TOWN EXPOSITION
win be Made There at the sOlic,tat,Os of the State Commission for the Dis piny-The Plan in Detail.

FN"S hS Aau All yeIAll. At the solicitation of the Connecticut commissioners for the Jamestown ex- position, Highway Commissioners J. H. Macdonald is arranging to have a com plete exhibit of Connect:cut's plan of highway improvement and the states supply of highway building material displayed at the exposition This will be of especial interest because of the fact that Connecticut occupies a lead- lng place among the states of the Un- ion in the matter of improved high ways, and, further, because the state has within it's borders an apparently dnexhaustdble supply of trap rock supe- 1ior in every way to any in other parts of the country, or in the world.
 The commissioner will show under glass at Jamestown sections of Con- necticut built highways, Illustrating the method of construction and the use of trap rock and native stone for the pur- pose. Phophgraphs of highways be- fore and ofter improvement will also be on exhibition.
 It is doubtless new to the great ma- jority of persons to learn that trap mock is capable of being used for lbuild- ing purposes and interior decoration, and can be given as fine and handsome a finish as the best quality of granite of any sort The general impression is that this stone is a seany, broken mass and cannot be used for other than road or concrete purposes. There is in the office Of the highway commits sioner at the capitol block of trap rock that is cut and polished, one face having 8 glassy oil finish, four others a common smooth finish and the last rough cut. This sample was cut and polished especially for exhibition at Jamestown and is handsome speci- men of stone.
 Commissioner Macdonald said re- gently that there are trap rock quar- ries, in the state from which solid blocks twelve or fifteen feet in length and six to eight feet in thickness can be cut without seam or break of any kind, and that the stone can be given a finish equal to any in the world.
 At the national good roads congress to be held in Pittsburg on March 13, Commissioner Macdonald will broachI the matter of good roads day at Jamestown, and has already received assurances from delegates from other parts of the country that they will join with him to bring it about.
