Legend Illustrating Superstition Of
Russian Peasant.


An almost superstitlOus value IS at

the poor Russian peasant There is
a parallel in the old eastern story Of
Nasr Eddin H9dga. He met a peas
ant one day with a donkey, over
whose back hung two sacks, one filed
with stones. the other with wheat
the stones having been added to bal
ance the wheat why not divide the
wheat into two parts instead?" Sug-
gested Nasr Eddin Hodga Delighted
with the idea. the peasant did as he
was advised, and hung the two sacks

SOLD AT AUCTION,
House Said to Have Been Americans
 First Law School.

EIrst LHN SCHOoAs
 Litchfeld, June 34.-Under the ham mer of an auctioneer to-day the old place known locally as the Daniels property. but which is the house for which Is claimed the honor of being the first law school in the country, which claim, however, is not quite sus- tained by records, was sold to D. c. Kilbourn, of this place, representing, it is thought, the Litchfield County Bar association.
 There were three bidders for the place It had to be sold. as the execu- tor was obliged to close up, the estate of Mary c. Daniels, recently deceased. MT. Kilbourn was among the first to advocate the purchase of the place and was appointed committee by the bar to make inquiries.
 Tn the present general assembly an effort was made to get an appropria- tion to preserve the place for its his- toric value. It is likely the place will be kept as a point of history to visit ors. The price paid was $2,705.

LITTLE BABY CURED 0F ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re- lief-Grew Worse Under Doctors Prescription = Friends Recom- t mended Cuticura - Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

!. HWe express to you herewith our best thanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when the child was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended salve which we threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse so that the baby scratched his face. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint- ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. l myself only make twelve dollars week as teamster, but recommend the Cuticura Remedies stronglyto all moth- CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases. They are cheap, harmless and good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, l9O6."

COMMITTEE ID LOOK
 AT WEST ROCK BLUFFS Several Citizens Make Pro- test Against Permission to Blast as Re
 quested. PARK BOARD MATTER
 STILL UNSETTLED Insinuations That All Things Are Not Quite Right in
 Transaction.
PARK BOARD MATTER

The public hearing before the com mittee on sewers and squares last even- ing nearly reached the sensational stage when the matter of granting the park board the permission 1t has re- nuested of the aldermen to sell cer- tain amount of rock on West Rock to the Blakeslees for blasting and grind ing. After failing of unanimous con- sent in the board the matter was re- ferred to the committee for considera- ton and now in the fitness of time has reached it's public hearing. Several of the residents in the vicinity of the rock appeared and entered hearty protest against the granting of permis- sion. Some of the ohjectors based their objections on the ground of the noise and the danger of flying rock. Others insinuated that the project was not en- tirely right and that the board of park commissioners was getting considerably more money than the amount of rock seemed worth.
 MT. B1akeslee defended the park com- mission stating that the speakers evi- dently did not know the men who com posed the board or he would never sug- gest any thought of anything crooked in connection with them. He stated that he thought the blasting of the rock would be completed Inside of ten or at most twelve years.
 The committee decided not to take action on the matter until it had visit ed the place as was suggested by sev- eral of the speakers. After a visit to the rock they will decide on the report to the board of aldermen.
 Only two of the sewer petitions had supporters last night. These were the petition of the Quinnipiao Brewing company for a sewer to connect with the Chapel street sewer and the petit ton for a sewer in Maltby place. Both will be favorably reported.

GREAT CAKEWALKING.
Etts' Mardi Gras Troupe Splendid Hit
 at White City.

From appearances yesterday after noon and evening it looked as if Yale was holding her commencement this year at the White City. Fully 300 stu dents from the various returning class es gathered there in the evening and had the time of their lives. They took everything in, from the African dodger, the wild man and the Goulars to the beautiful camera phone, the scenic railroad, the chutes and the side-split- ting Lemon" the richest attraction in the country to-day.
 Everybody enjoyed the remarkable performance of Etts' Coney Island Mardi Gras cakewalkers. Manager Speck is satisfied usually to let people judge for themselves as to the quality of an act, but yesterday he could not restrain his praise of the splendid ec- centric dances of Etts' aggregation. "The best have ever seen.' he; said, and his sentiment was supported by hundreds of others.
 In the White City to-day is an at traction that can be seen in but few places in this country. It IS the sllk- worm exhibition, an education for chill dren and instructive also to the old. Fully 30,eO0 worms are exhibited, all feeding upon the tender leaves of null berry trees. They are now in their fourth stage and soon will begin to form the cocoon from which the raw silk Is taken. It is deeply interesting study.
 The bargain of practically free ad- mission is meeting with the heartiest of response from the public. The equiv- alent of free admission is given in a free ride on the scenic or miniature railways, the chutes, or a visit to the foolish house to every person entering the White City.
 The list of free prizes Is a splendid one this week.
