Iiona and Fowl.

'1There is a peculiar thing about lions," said a hunter who has trapped big game in Africa for menageries. ''They will not eat the flesh of fowl. You might tempt them with canvas back duck or the daintiest squab, but they would refuse 1t. remember once having a swan which had broken It's wing. We killed 1t, dressed 1t care fully and threw 1t into the cage of the lions, but they would not touch 1t, and it finally had to be taken out and thrown away. I have repeatedly put pigeons alive into the cage just to seO what they would do. I have thrown grain down among the lions and the pigeons have actually got down and hopped around the big brutes, even hopping on their backs, the lions mak- ing no attempt to disturb them. even seeming to enjoy their cOmpanionship. There Is something rather strange about this which 1t is difficult to ex- plain"

umhralIan aattla.

It is conceivable that the officers of Wellington's day thought him terri ble old bully. He actually forbade umbrellas in battle! He expected them not only to expose and sacrifice their lives at the word of command, but ac- tually to risk the furnishing of their beautiful uniforms in the rain which fell during battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadiers sheltering under a forest of umbrellas and sent on Lord Hill with this message: Lord Yelling ton does not approve of the use of um- breiIas during the enemy's firing and will not allow the 'GentleInen's Sons to make themselves ridiculous in the eyes of tne army" After the battle Colonel Tynling was reprimanded by the duke for permitting the offense. Said the great man, "The guards in uniform may, when on duty at St. James,, carry umbrellas If they please, but in the field 1t Is not only ridiculous but unmilitary." Let 1t not be forgot ten, however. that the delinquents, dandies though they were, proved themselves among the bravest when fighting was going on.--St. James Ga zette.

What . HatpIn Revealed.

A certain large millinery establish ment makes speciality of women's trimmed hats at $5 and $1O. It Is cut ting largely Into the trade of the small CT high priced dealers. A short time ago a woman of fashion went into the establishment mentioned and tried on several hats. but found none to suit her. Before going out she missed q valuable hatpin. A careful search failed to bring 1t to light. and It's dis appearance remained a mystery. A few days later the customer, still look ing for a suitable hat, visited one of the expensive millinery shops in the city. Among the hats shown to her, none of which was priced lower than SS5, was one that closely resembled one of the hats she had tried on in the ten dollar store. She took 1t up to ex- anime 1t more closely. As she felt the trimming she noticed that the end of a hatpin was concealed beneath a bunch of artificial flowers. Drawing 1t out, she discovered 1t to be her missing hatpin.-New York Tribune.

ms services in the comlng suit, ana the look he received in reply fingered with him for many hours. When Prue got home she was told that there had got to be stop to this sort of thing, but when she burst into tears and said she could not help 1t her mother was reasonable enough to reply that maybe she could not.
 The girl went to town with the moth CT on the day of the suit. In the court room shock of surprise awaited her. Darius Livingstone appeared as counsel for the complainant. Yes he was there in all his dignity, and he didn't seem a bit frightened that it was his first case and that he was matched against one of the oldest and smartest lawyers in the county. He nodded to Prue and would have done the same to her moth CT had she not just then been engaged in whispering to her daughter:
 'Prue Johnson, look over there! As true as you live your bean pole of a young man is going to take the case against mel That's another specimen of his cheek. You wait, however. When Parsons gets through with him there'll be only a grease spot left.''
 Surprise after surprise was the order of the day. The plaintiff really had chattel mortgage on the cows They had been driven away and sold. In buying them Mrs. Johnson had taken the sellers work. Her lawyer argued that this was customary, but 'bean pole" brought in six witnesses to prove to the contrary. Mrs. Johnson was made to admit that she was a business woman and that she had never bought even a chicken without being guaran- teed. A dozen errors were made in her case, and before 1t was concluded MT. Parsons was made to look extreme ly foolish. The jury gave verdict for the plaintiff, and Prue shed tears be- meath her veil and realized that she would see no more of Lincoln No. 2. She was in despair when her mother walked up to the young attorney and held out her hand, saying:
 "Sir, I am q blunt and plain spoken woman. You are lop shouldered and slab sided. You are as homely as hedgehog in March, but you are talk yer. If ever have son-in-law I hope he'll be one of the profession. No, don't make any excuses. You had right to take the other side, and I hold no grudge against you. If you want to know how good cheese is made come out to the farm"
 MT. Livingstone did want to know He had always been curious about it. He took early advantage of her offer, and at last reports he and Miss Prue had decided to go south on their we'd ding tour.

Legislative Notes.

The senate on Wednesday rejected the proposition for leasing the Lyme railroad bridge, and passed in concur renee bill appropriating $25O0 for sewers and sewerage filtration plant at the Connecticut Agricultural col lege. The house passed the Lebanon street railway resolution after tho section that gave the company water and flowage rights had been removed.
 The house acted as follows on joint resolution No. 393 amending the charter of the Stafford Springs Elec- trio and Gas company. It permits consolidation with a company in Rockville. MT. Alsop said the bill was favored by Lieutenant Governor Lake and Colonel F. T. Maxwell. Mir. Noone of Vernon offered an amend ment correcting the punctuation of the bill and wiping out the merger clause. He said the Rockville company fur nished an excellent study in high finance. It now has $2OO, 900 in
  ally worth about $1OO,OO He ob- jected to having it take over the bank rupt Stafford Springs company. If the people of Rockville should decide to buy it's plant it would have to take over the Stafford company. Mir. Cosgrove of Wilmington offered an prohibiting the Rockville company from issuing more than $25, 900 in bonds and $25, 1000 in com mon stock in case the merger is made. He saw no harm in the merger if the stock issue is limited. MT. Alsop of Avon said he did not object to the Cosgrove amendment. He said Mir. Noone's statement was correct as far as he knew. Mir. Noone's amend ment was lost, 64 to 97. MT. Cos grove's amendment was carried and the amended bill was passed.
 The house rejected the anti-screen bill, which it had once passed and adopted measure tending to limit the number of saloons. A bill prohibit ing minors and women from lettering about saloons was passed. The school bill was passed, with an that schools may only employ physicians after a vote of the town or city availing itself of the law.
 The senate yesterday passed in the house amendment of the charter of the Stafford Springs Electric Light and Gas company.

The Beautiful Home.

l never saw a garment too fine for a man or maid; there never was chair too good for cobbler or a cooper or king to sit in; never a house too fine to shelter the human head. Elegance fits man. But do we not value these tools little more than they are worth and sometimes mortgage house for the mahogany we bring into 1t? I had rather eat my dinner off the head of a barrel or dress after the fashion of John the Baptist in the wilderness or sit on block all my life than consume all myself before I got to home and take so much pains with the outside that the inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a great thing. but beauty of garment, house and fur niture are tawdry ornaments compar- ed with domestic love- All the ele- gance in the world will not make |. home, and would give more for a spoonful of real hearty love than for whole shiploads of furniture and all the gorgeousness the world can gather Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Miniature MarveIs.

Almost any commonplace object magnified under good lens will re veal astonishing and unsuspected form, structure and life. For instance:
 Insects of various kinds may be seen in the cavities of grain of sand.
 Mold is a forest of beautiful trees, with branches, leaves and fruit.
 Butterflies are fully feathered
 Hairs are tubes filled with pith and Ornamented on the outside with scales.
 The surface of the human body is covered with scales like fish, A sin gle grain of sand would cover 15O of these scales, and yet scale covers about 500 pores. Through these nar- row openings the precipitation forces itself like water through a sieve.
 Each drop of stagnant water con- tains a world of creatures swimming with as much freedom as whales In the sea

His Future Assured,

 "Yes," said he, "this Is 1t. Pm MT. B. What can I do for you? Whom do you want, then? Oh, all right; hold the wire. Here, Jimmy, some one to talk to you" , Jimmy, diminutive, towheaded of flee boy, approached and seized the re- ceiver.
 "Yep, dis is Jim. Oh, yep; hullo yer self. Sure, dat was him talkin'. Wot: Hully gee! Dat so? A'right-yep- goodby yerself. ..
 Say, Mr. B." the diminutive one remarked to the broker, "dat was Eddy, de head office boy, an' he says ter me ter tell yer he resigns his job right now by de phone cause he don't like de way yer talked t him yester- day. He says he kin live anyhow, an'"- s:.
 "All right" tie broker interrupted. '"The mistake he made was in not de manding my resignation. However, he'll own an office some day. We will now proceed with the days business, James."-New York Globe.

Atmospheric DefIection of Sound.

One of Uncle Sam's scientists at Washington gives an interesting ex- planation of the action of the wind in
 preventing the spread of sound. It is,
 he claims, not the wind as such that prevents sound from travelling against it, but differences in the strength of the wind. If, for instance, the wind is stronger above than below or stronger at one side, its effect will be to tilt the sound waves in one direction or an other. Differences of temperature in
 the air also cause Reflection of the
 waves of sound. Other atmospheric causes exist which defect sound from a straight course and prevent it from going as far in certain direction as 1t may have been expected to go. Some of the sirens in this country, says the scientists, produce sounds which ought theoretically to be audible at distance of 1,5OO miles, but in fact the authori- ties are satisfied if they are heard only two miles away. The reason for the discrepancy between calculation and experiment was probably atmospheric Reflection of the sound. - New York Tribune.
