There Is a growing tendency upon the

but sometimes they CRATE barshly upon the

Helen II. Philbrick, who assisted me in
the study of these subjects, is remarkable
woman, primary teacher, and the author
of book and partially developed system of
primary phonetic work, in which she repre-
sents the phonetic characters in colors. By
this means she is enabled to teach babies
scarcely able TO more than Lisp. to spell and
understand any word which they can pro-
nounce, readily and without fatigue There
is apparently no effo"t required to remem-
ber more than is exerted in gaining the
acquaintance and names of the objects and
conditions which surround every young life
in its continual acquisition of knowledge.
Her success with very young children al
most babies, has been phenomenal wherever
she has taught and seems TO be the result
Of keeping close to nature as she interprets
light, sound and language to the unfolding
young intellect.
When come to compare and analyze
the vibrations which are the real basis of
them, we find: first, Language divided into
seven vowel sounds; second, Light divided
by the prism into seven cardinal colors;
and third, each chord of Music divided into
seven notes as follows:

Walker Under suspicion.

New Britain, July 2S.-Efforts are being made to-day to find out If Wll- liam r. Walker paid over s1,000 from the estate of Sarah Winchell to the First Baptist church of this city and if the church got the money as well as the credit Walker was administrator of the estate, which amounted to over s9,100, and among the claims pre- sented against the estate were two for $500 each. The claims were allowed The final distribution Is recorded and the estate was closed The inquiry into this estate comes up now because of the story in circulation that Walker had not paid the money over for the care of the cemetery lot of the deceas- ed. Mrs. Winchell died in 1890.

Little Water In Waterbury.

Waterbury, July 2S,-Waterbury Is consuming whole lot of water these hot days. The city Is using about 7.000,000 gallons a day. And 1t only proves that something will soon have to be done by the proper authorities for the building of an additional stor- age reservoir at the Wigwam.
 During the month of June the daily consumption from the Wigwam was between 6,000,0O0 and 100000 gal Ions, and about a half million gal Ions was taken daily from the high service system. The recent hot wave seems to have had It's effect on the Wigwam, and during the past ten days the daily consumption from this sup ply has been increased to d flat 7,00O,- 900 gallons.

 Other Doings.

Hartford. July 23.--Whlle nothing official Is being given out regarding the homecoming of bank embezzler Walker of New Britain, it will not be surprising if his arrival in Hartford Is timed for convenient hour Friday night when a public display will be unlikely. Public curiosity has been whetted to such degree in this case that if the hour of Walk ITS arrival in Hartford were made known thous- ands of people would be at the depot to see him, and the trip 10 the jail would be nothing short of a monster parade. To obvlate such demon stration the arrival of the embezzler will be timed to take place some time during the night or early morning, 1t is generally believed.
