A MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY

A MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY.
 Last week Wednesday evening, July 10, about 100 parishioners and friends gathered at the rectory on the Ridge to assist Rev and Mrs w. H. Jepson eel ebrate their 18th wedding anniversary, which proved a very enjoyable occasion and will be long remembered by all who attended. The house was very prettily decorated for the occasion with flowers and the lawn about the house was nicely lighted up with Japa- nese lanterns. The sight presented as the guests arrived, was very pretty one. During the evening a short pro- gram was enjoyed by the company as follows:
 A piano solo by Mrs J. Arthur Sher- wood of Easton
 Recitation by Mrs E. P. Sanford.
 Solo by Mrs Randolph Bradley.
 Recitation by Mrs Bessie Treadwell of Lyon's Plains
 Solo by Harry Saunders.
 After the program an elaborate sup per was served to the guests in the hall over H. Rupf's store on the Ridge. Guests were present from Meriden, Providence. R. I.,Lyon's Plain, Bethel, Easton and Bedding. Rev and Mrs Jepson were very handsomely remem- bered by all their friends. There were large number of handsome and costly presents which included cut glass, china and solid sliverware. Among the presents were a handsome decorated Haviland China dinner set from the members of Christ Church and $3O in gold from the members of Emmanuel church at Lyons Plains, of which MT Jepson is also rector. Rev and Mrs w. H. Jepson wish through the col | umns of The Bee to- express to their parishioners and many friends their hearty thanks and appreciation of the many handsome gifts and for the kind ness shown on this happy occasion. CHICKEN THIEVES AT LARGE. Chicken thieves have twice visited A. G- Burnett's. Jr., family recently and stole between 40 and 50 of his fine young chickens which were large enough for broilers. Somebody had better get down the old gun and keep a watch.

There is a stone deaf man in the
northern part of Germany who, says
lue New DIRK Herald, has at last mas
tered the problem of being called in
the morning. He has made an in
genious contrivance of machinery at
tached to his big eight-day clock The
power is obtained automatically from
a waterfall in the garden, and works
through an arrangement of rods and
wheels on the four posts of his big
bed, which is suspended is inches
from the floor. He sets the clock at
whatever hour he likes and the bed
does the rest.
The affair is too complicated to
describe, but the result is this; AT
the desired hour instead of an alarm
bell. which would be perfectly use
less, there comes a gentle shaking of
his bed. This continues for one min
ute. Should he fail to respond the
movement becomes more violent,
throwing him up and down instead OF
gently sideways. Nor is this all. If
that does not rouse him the entire bed
tips slowly to an impossible angle,
rolling him inevitably into a bathtIh
full Of cold water which stands at the
side.

JEPANESE POETRY.
Writing Verse ls a Part Of the Polite
Life of the Nation.

"There are no long poems in Jap
anese," says writer. GA long poem
is unthinkable to the people of ia
pan. They have what sometimes
pass for long excursions in verse,
but these are really nothing more
than short poems strung together,
lacking all unity save that of sub
iect. The favorite forms are the
hokku, consisting of three lines, the
first having five, the second having
seven and the third having five syl-
tables, seventeen in all; the tanka,
consisting of five lines of five, sew
en-. five, seven and seven syllables,
thirtv-one in all, and the dodoitsu,
consisting of four lines of sew
en-, seven, seven and five sylla-
bles, or twenty-six in all. The
tanka is the classical form, af-
fected by the standard poets of the
country, while the other forms are
used by every japanese who writes
at all and by many who cannot.
The hokku is the greatest favorite.
The hokku is composed i'm
promptu upon every occasion, the
writer putting into verse the
thought appropriate to the moment,
the incident or the associations sug-
gested, much as the Greeks wrote
their epigrams before the epigram
became a little satiric sting. Hok-
kus are inspired by grave moments
as well as by the gay ones. An old
statesman on his deathbed sees a
dead leaf whirled past his window,
and it suggests his own faring forth
on the wings of eternity, and he
writes, "A leaf whirls down-a leaf
whirls down in the wind Nothing
more, but the simple repetitic
pours out volumes with beauty s
power.
"These little poems are so MIC!
a part of japanese life that cve'
cultivated person writes them, and
all WHO 90 to view the flowers, the
blossoming of the cherry trees or
the reddening naples in Uyeno or
other parks, write some pretty con-
ceit in a hokku and hang it upon
the chrysanthemum or lotus stalks
or on =he trees. The hokku may,
therefore, be justly called the song
