Morris Will | kin,, who had some of the spirit if none of the blood of John Beach in him, ministered to the parish in a most ac- ceptable manner, and this handsome ly carved eagle lectern, is placed here in grateful recognition of his valuable services.
 In 1884 Rev Martin B. Dunlap came to oficiate. He was ordained during his second year and remained as Rec tor till 1888. During 1877 and 1878 the church building was again remodeled and enlarged. The old church with its long green blinds, reaching from top to bottom, with its pulpit, in the East ern end, its galleries extending around the other sides, in fact all of its feat ures which belonged to the period of the past were transformed into the tasteful, comfortable and churchlike edifice in which we are assembled to-

Rev Ambrose Hull in 17S9, Rev David Perry, 1791 to l794, Rev M Pardee in 1796, Rev Daniel Butler, 1779 to 1894, Rev Elijah Plumb, 1906 to 1911, Rev ReubenHubbard, 1872 to ISIS, Rev Am prose s. Todd, 1920 to 1923. In 1924 Doctor Todd was succeeded by Rev Lemuel Hull, great-grandson of John Beach. During MT Hull's ministry here the church was rebuilt. At this date the officers of the parish were, James Dennison, clerk; Samuel B. Read, treasurer; Seth Wheeler and Daniel Lyon, wardens; Isaac Drew, James Sanford, Jr., and Simeon Meek CT, vestrymen. Thadeus B. Read and Charles Beach are also named as ac- tive workers and later as officers of the parish. James Dennison was elect ed to succeed John Meeker, the former clerk, who with some others had with drawn from the church for reasons un- known to us and at this time the re- cords of a century of parish history were withheld or destroyed by former clerk, Meeker. After MT Hull fol- lowed Edward J. Darkin, 1887, Charles J. Todd, 1888 to 1842, Rev w. Atwill, 1842 to 1845, Rev David H. Short, 1S46, Rev Abel Nichols, 1S47, Rev John P. Taylor, 1847 to 1850. In the summer of 1850 the church edifice was again altered and repaired, also the parish fund which had formally been loaned to members of the parish, was collected in and invested in the stock of the Fairfield Co.,, bank. On Advent Sum- day, theslast of MT Taylor's ministry in Bedding, the sum of $6O0 in pledges was collected, at the offertory for the purpose of building new rectory. The Rev o. H. Smith next took charge of the parish and during the year 1851 the new Rectory was completed. The Rev Abel Ogden was rector from 1953 till his death in 1854, Rev James Adams till 1856, Rev William White Bronson till 1860, Rev Alfred Loderback till 1862, Rev Henry Zell till his death in 1863, Rev William L. Bostwick till 1867, Rev John w. Hoffman till 1871, Rev Charles w. Kelley from 1873 to 1876.
 In May, 1873, the church spire, long out of repair, was remodelled and sur mounted by the gilt cross as seen to- day; at this time the ancient weather vane, an immense metal rooster, said to have been brought from England by John Beach, after having struggled val iantly bnt unnecessarily for more than century, to maintain his position on the old church spire, was taken down and may be seen to-day on the barn of descendant of John Beach. The church was re-shingled and painted and extensive repairs were made on the rectory and grounds during 1874 and 1875. The Rev X. A. Welton took charge of the parish in 1877. In Sep tember, 1878, the church sheds were de- stroyed by the fire which burned the barn, store and dwelling of Francis A. Sanford.
 From 1877 to 1884 the parish had no

Wide RANGE Of Wolves.

The range of a pair Of wolves is an
area Of from six to ten miles square.
When the hunter learns that wolves
have been seen and heard in certain
locality, 1t may take several days Of
scouting before the dogs can be got on
the trail. The hunter must look sharp
for signs in soft or sandy places and
along creeks and streams. The old
lady wolf will, as a rule, go to the
nearest water to drink when leaving
the den or to get a drink as she re-
turns from the hunt before going to
the den, and its locality is often found
on account of that habit. A wolf
track can be distinguished from that

nails are set farther ahead. making the

running. and especially If frightened,
these toes spread apart, making track
that at a hasty glance looks very much
like the track Of a deer.-Fur News.

Animal Cleanliness.

A soologist thus writes upon a point
In which he claims that the lower ami
mails set an example to many men,
says Chums:
1T has taken human beings many
hundreds of years to acquire habits of
neatness and cleanliness, whereas the
animals have always possessed them,
From the time when they first made
their appearance ON earth animals have
washed and combed and brushed them
selves with tongue, claws and tail
Many Of them grow wretched and Ian
gulsh II deprived Of any opportunity
Of taking a cold bath. AS for the apes,
they are such sticklers for cleanliness
that they expel any member of the
tribe who shows a disposition to shlrk
bis duties In this respect Even the
insects show a scrupulous regard for
neatnsss, as anybody who has watched

instance, viii readily admit"

EARTHW0RMS.
TIE Anatomy and the Habits Of These
Peculiar Creatures.


TIE Anatomy and the Habits Of These
Peculiar Creatures.
The earthworm is a peculiar crea-
ture. 1t Is constructed In segments
which may number from 50 to 100
or even more. Near the middle Ii q
hard spot called the girdle The thir-
ty-three segments in front of the CIR
die are used for purposes of locomo-
ton; they are the pullers, while the
segments behind are the anchors or
pushers. Grasp the tail end of the
worm and draw the rest OF the body
slowly across the finger. You will find
a peculiar sensation.
The sensation is that produced by a
small file. 1t Is caused by four double
rows Of tiny bristles extending the
whole length of the animal on It's ven
trail surface. To the inner end of each
bristle are attached small muscles, by
which 1t can be pointed either forward
or backward. These bristles, there
fore, not only render the ventral sur
face rough, but also serve as very SIM
pleappendages to assist the longitudinal
and circular muscles in locomotion.
This simple, everyday worm has a
mouth, brains, a pharynx, crop, a
nervous system, a blood circulation, a
gullet, a gizzard, stomach, lntestines,
reproductive organs. But 1t has no
heart and is without eyes. 1t is tooth.
less, but by means of the pharynx
sucks in its food. 1t has twice as
many kidneys as 1t has segments.
Imagine this little animal having 200
kidneys, while we get along with two!
Earthworms rarely come out of their
burrows except at night; hence, al
though they have no eyes, they can
distinguish light from darkness. They
| take In certain substances for food and
refuse to take others, which indicates
that they can taste or smell, or both.
Try the experiment of cutting an
earthworm in two. Both ends will
wiggle about for awhile. That portion
behind the girdle, however, soon dies
| But the forward end, which has the
brain, will often develop new seq
ments and in time become again q
complete worm.
The earthworm has no lungs, but
breathes through It's skin. Every fish
erman familiar with this fact knows
that the worms he takes with him fol
bait on a fishing excursion must bt
kept moist, otherwise they die. The
capillary blood vessels pass close Il
the surface In order to supply the
blood with oxygen and to excrete th'
wastes. II the skin becomes dry the
blood loses a great deal of water by
evaporation, and the hardened outel
surface shuts OF the supply of oxygen
II you wish to get supply of earth
worms for a days fishing and are mo-
certain in which part of the garden
they are to be found, and If you de-
not want to dig here, there and every
where at random, insert a spadinl
fork into the ground and move thu
handle to and fro a few inches. L
the worms are there they will pop on
in a panic and try to make their es
cape on the surface. They either hea
or feel the movement of the fork ant

ment there are three methods of pro-
cedure open for collection of the
claim: by suit, by diplomacy and
arbitration, and by threats and force
While the modern tendency is to
settle claims either by diplomacy or by
an arbitration tribunal specially Gre
ated or by reference to the perma-
nent court now existing at The Hague,
claims may also be collected from for
eign governments by threats of war
and by actual employment of force,

Not all the mahogany which we see

treated with coloriess liquids it be
comes a golden shade. This darkens
with age, and at present all the genu-
Inc mahogany which we see must have

Of use. 1t is about the most expensive
of the woods In general use, but Cir
cassian walnut is valued even higher.

In treating 1t. Its grain is perhaps the
