 I've had the. notion of doing some- thing of the kind" the Easy Chair confessed when requested to furnish a list of the hundred best authors, but we could not think of more than ten or a dozen really first rate au- ,thors. and if we had begun to com pile a list of the best authors we should have had to leave out most of then works. Nearly all the classics would have gone by the board What havoc we should have made with the British poets. The Elizabethan dram atists would mostly have fallen under the ban of our negation to play if not to man. Chaucer. but for few poems. is impossible; Spenser's poetry is generally duller than presidential messages: Milton is trial of the spirit in three-fourths of his verse: Wads- worth is only not so bad as Byron. who thought him so much worse; Shakespeare himself when he is rever- ently supposed not. to be Shakespeare is reading the martyrs: Dante's science and politics outweigh his poetry a thousandfold. and so on through the whole catalogue. civilian Dean How els in Harper's Magazine.

A Picture of Your Voice.

To take picture of your voice 1t Is only necessary to tie a sheet of thin. strong paper over the wide end of a tin trumpet Hold 1t with the sheet Of paper upward. take thin pinch of fine sand and place it in the center of the paper, hold the trumpet vertically above your face and sing. a note into the lower end. Do not blow. but sing the note. Lower the trumpet carefully and look at the sand. You will find that the vibrations of your voice have scattered the pinch of sand into a beautiful sound picture. Every note in the musical scale will produce a different picture, so you may produce a great variety of them. Some of these pictures look like pansies. roses and other flowers; some look like snakes and others like flying birds. In fact. there is no limit to the variation.

 Thomas Kelly was injured by fall ing against pole on Main street in Beacon Falls while alighting from a trolley car yesterday. As he jumped from the car to the ground he lost his balance and fell forward. his head striking the pole with such force that he was rendered unconscious. He was carried into the residence of John J. Bowe, near the place where the ac- cident occurred, and was attended by Dr W. A. Reilly ef Naugatuck. The doctor found him suffering from con- cussion of the brain and made him as comfortable as possible. He spent restful night and his condition to- day was much improved. It is thought that the derby hat which he wore saved him from being Killed as it broke the force of the blow when his head struck the pole.
 Two government inspectors were here this week for the purpose of ac- certaining whether or not the rights of wholesale liquor men were being infringed upon by retail dealers. Any retail dealer who has not a wholesale license is not allowed to sell a keg of lager. nor can he sell more than two cases of beer to any one person. He must also see to 1t that the revenue stamp is destroyed after the contents of the cask or cigar box or wet goods package is used So far as could be learned no arrests were made here but in Waterbury it is said that but it is said that in Waterbury 37 retail dealers were found violating the law.
 Thomas McoDnald, former resi- dent of Naugatuck, and for the past eight years resided in Beacon Falls. died at his home in that town Mon- day. He leaves widow and three brothers, one of whom resides in Cal ifornia and the others in Ireland. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock from his late residence and at 10:15 at St Michaers church in Beacon Falls. The interment will be in St James's cemetery.
 Can it be possible that our officials stand in with the Waterbury baseball management? The action taken last night will surely help the Brass city manager.

 The body of the late Michael Shan nahan, who was killed by a train in Bridgeport on June 27, was brought to Naugatuck from Bridgeport on the $40 train and was taken direct from the train to St Francis cemetery. where interment took place.

oreao COUNTY JAIL INSPECTED.


For year past committee OF
the American Prison Association has
been conducting thorough lnves-
tigation of county jails in this
country. Three hundred inspectors
appointed by the association visited
jails in practically every state in the
union and found conditions that
rivaled Dickens descriptions of
English jails. The report of the
inspector as to how Otero county
cares for its prisoners, and the re-
suit Of an investigation Of the county
Jail in this city is as follows:
''lt is pretty bad case that the
National Prison Association has
found against the average county
Jail in this country. For year
past hundreds of trained men and
women have been working on inves-
tigations and compiling results and
now the association is prepared to
announce Just what conditions were
found. To state that. generally
speaking. county jails are schools
for crime" is putting it mildly. A
special investigation was made OF
the Jail in this county and the ques-
ton for this community to answer is
whether or not the Otero county
Jail comes up to the minimum stand.
ard set by Professor Henderson and
his committee.
The changes most needed in the
Otero county Jail. according to the
visitor, are that provision be made
for work and exercise. and that a
Jail be built large enough to allow
for the proper segregation of pris-
oners. The worst feature of the
Jail is that. owing to the crowded
condition. no provision for classifi-
of prisoners can be made OF the
twenty-seven prisoners on the day
of inspection. three were awaiting
trial. four were under jail sentences
or detained because unable to pay a
fine, eight We're sentenced to state
prison. two were weak-minded, nine
were sentenced to n reformatory.
and one was a boy waiting to be
transported to the reform school.
The building is comparatively q
new stone structure and is said to
be safe and strong. There are two
cells ten feet square on each side of
a ten foot hall space. and one cell
ten feet square on the other side.
On the mems side is also located the
bath cell.
The county allows fifty cents per
head each day for board. The food
is said to be fair in quality and in
adequate quantity, although no
dietary was furnished to the visitor.
The bedding consists Of spring cots
and blankets which are not washed
very often because they are mostly
new. The visitor was not able to
ascertain whether III the history Of
the jail an occupant had ever chang.
