The clubw0man OF Massachusetts and
the clubwomsn of Tennessee have Joined
hands and gone down into the valleys of
East Tennessee where schools have not
been known and opened up a wonderland
of knowledge to the people. Since libra
ries are part of education, the club
woman has bent her energies toward
placing books in the hands of those who
need them. Sometimes this work Is ex-
emplified in a municipal building TO which
Mr.. Carnegie has contributed half the
money. sometimes in a small reading
room in a mining town; more often in
travelling libraries that go from settle
ment to settlement in the remote villages
of New England. of the far West or of
the South.

household economies as applied TO her

when she went into club work. the club
woman is making it better During the
past year the Missouri Federation won
thanks and praise from all over the coun-
try by publishing a set of blue prints of a
model kitchen. a kitchen that would cost
TO more than a piano and would be
labor-saver and step-saver to whatever
housewife built one like it, These prints
have gone over Missouri, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Arkansas. Kansas, Illinois, and
Indiana. In Illinois the clubwoman has
influenced the legislature to have house

ENGLAND's FIELDS ARE GREEN.
EngIand's cliffs are white like milk.
But Englands fields are green:
The gray fogs creep across the moors.
But warm suns stand between.
And not far from London town. beyond the
trimming street
A Thousand little summer winds are singing in the
wheat
Red-lipped pOppes stand and burn,
The hedges are aglow:
The daisies climb the windy hills
TIL all gTow white like Snow
And when the sim pale moon slides up, aud dreamy
night is near.
There's whisper in the beeehes for lonely hearts
to hear.
PopTies burn in italy
And suns grow round and high:
The black pines Of Posilipo
Are gaunt upon the sky
And yet / know English elm. beside an English
lane.
That calls me through the twilight and the miles
Of misty rain.
Tel me why the meadow-lands
Become so warm in June;
Why the tangled roses breathe
So softly TO the moona
And when the sunset bars ome down to pass the
feet Of day
Why the singing thrushes slide between the spngs
Of NAY.
Weary we have wandered hack
And We have Travelled far
Above the storms and over sess
CLEANED ever one bright STIR

longer roam.

Yewa In churchyards.

The object Of planting yews In
churchyards has been much disputed.
Some antiduarians have asserted thas
the custom arose in order TO supply
bows for the purpose OF archery, but
this idea Is In the highest degree un-
likely. Gilbert White suggested that
one object might have been to servs
as q screen to churches by their
thick foliage from the violence Of
winds" They might also, he thought,
have been placed as a shelter to ths
congregation assembling before the
church doors we're opened. or as an
emblem OF mortality by their funeral
appearance. Perhaps rather. as the
learned Ray suggested. the yew was
planted in churchyards because. from
its evergreen foliage and the great age
to which 1t attained, 1t was regarded
as a symbol Of Immortality.

ACCEPTED VERDICT or DOCTOR.
Great Painter Heard His Sentence
and Calmly Passed Away.

When Turner, the famous painter,
was dying at Chelsea he sent in de-
spair for q Ramsgate doctor who had
done him some good during his recent
stay at that place, and who, no hoped.
might take different view Of his case
from that which the London physI-
clans had expressed. The doctor ar
rived, and confirmed tho opinion that
tho artist had very little time longer
to live. Walt bit. said Turner to
the doctor, you have had nothing to
eat and drink, yet. lave your" mo.
but that's OF no consequence" But
1t Isl" replied the painter. Go down
stairs and you will find some refreah-
ment: and there Is some fine brown
aherry-don't spare itand then
come up and see me again" The doc
tor refreshed himself and taan came
back TO the patient. Now. then.~
said Turner, what Is it? Do you still
think so badly OF my case?" The
doctor regretfully said he could not
alter his former opinion. The artist
shook his shoulders. turned his face to
the wall and never spoke again!-'

TOWN TOPICS. BASEBALL.
VIEWPOINT r, CRITERION CLUB 6.

The Newtown Baseball team met and defeated the strong Criterion Club of Bridgeport in warmly contested game at the Rye lot, Sandy Hook. July 4. Both teams played good ball and gave.the crowd a game for their mon- ey. It was Newtown's initial game but the team plainly showed that lit- tie practice together will put them in- to the class with the fastest amateur teams in the state. They prayed good game, Saturday, and with the excep- tion of three wild throws by Heating, Rand and Lynch, very few errors were made. Warmers work in the box was gilt edged; also Haugh's hitting and base running. Cohen started the game for Bridgeport in the Box but when Newtown began to use the stick he was taken out and replaced by Kellogg who was effective until the ninth inn ing, when Newtown began to find his curves. In the ninth inning the Cri- terion Club was leading by a score of 6 to 4. But Newtown tied the score by heavy batting. Neither teams scored in the tenth and Lynch won the game for his team in the next inning with a two base hit scoring Bishop.
