BY WAY OF COMPARISON.
Youngsters First Efforts in the Realm
Of Natural History.

Four-year-old Clyde was preco-
cious youngster-very laxative and a
close observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time, some tadpoles in a pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
"Oh, father, what are they?"
'Tadpoles. son." the father replied.
please, father, let's take them all
home with us, then come back and
find the mamma and papa, and we'll
have the whole family in our pond at
home"
The father explained how impossi-
BILE this would be. and as he walked on
few steps large ugly frog hoped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
Look, son. perhaps there is the papa"
Clyde was very thoughtful. He
looked at the frog, then at his father,
then at himself and exclaimed:
Well. father, was there ever 80
much difference between me and
you?"

NOVELTIES FOR DAINTY LUNCH.
Welcome Refreshment at the End Of
Card Games.

In these days of table or two of
bridge as a form of entertainment,
hostesses are interested in ineNpen-
sive novelties for refreshments.
What to serve depends largely on
the customs of the city and the time
of the party During the hot weather
the morning has been the favorite
hour Play lasts from ten o'clock I'M
til 1890, when cold lunch is served
on the card tables or in the shaded
dining room.
This might consist of halves of
canteloupe, with a few blackberries In
each piece; jellied gumbo in cups;
boned chicken OF Virginia ham, car
rots and peas in aspic, tiny French
rolls. iced coffee, whole tomatoes
stuffed with chopped green peppers,
and olives covered with mayonnaise;
peach or blackberry sherbet with va
nilla waters.
Such a menu can easily be prepared
the day before at the cost of but few
dollars.
If a lunch seems too much trouble,
iced coffee. tiny bacon or cheese sand
witches, cake and candy are passed
little before noon, SO the guests may
get home to lunch.
With these light refreshments dain-
tiness should make up for variety. In
vest in a set of card cake cutters,
which consist of four pieces to repre-
sent the aces of spades, clubs, hearts
and diamonds, These can be used to
shape both the sandwiches and cakes.
Bake a rich cup cake in thick layers
in an oblong pan to save waste in
cutting. Ice the clubs and spades in
a fudge icing and the other two shapes
in a boiled white icing colored red
with currant strip or a few drops of
cochineal.
Serve the iced coffee in tall, thin
glasses half filed with cracked ice
and with whipped cream on the top.
Russian tea or ginger ale may be sub
stituted for the coffee.
Instead of the sandwiches, crack
ers, buttered, covered with Parmesan
cheese and red pepper and toasted in
the oven may be used.
The candies can be made at home,
either fudge or white grapes. seeded
and covered with cream fondant.

a tam crown braided in rows, COM
pleted by a brim of satin, and are to
be had in black and colors.

{ One of the kinds of trimming that
seems to be entirely out of style is

F. L. PICKS MONEY
Heirs Had Spirited Talk In
 Court Yesterday

Towards the end of the hearing be- fore the distributors of the estate of the late Franklin l.. Peck yesterday in the district court, some rather breezy dialogue passed between the lawyers representing the different heirs.
 It was when the distributors, City Attorney Kellogg, Mayor Thoms and Loren Garter, decided to have another hearing next week that Judge Cole. administrator, got started. T want to tell everybody present that l do not intend to come to these hearings much longer unless l receive some money soon. My time is too valuable to be spending so much of it here"
 This nettled Attorney Seymour of New York, who appears for some of the heirs. Do not think you are ac- commodating us by coming here. We would be just as glad if you remained away. We do not want you here and would be much more satisfied if l never saw you in the court room. You talk about more fees; I don't know what you would ask for your services, but judging from the law that you have been propounding to- day, you are not deserving of any"
 At this point one of the distributors asked Judge Cole if Mrs Peck would be willing to take the West Main street property at value of $1S,000. The judge said Mrs Peck wanted that piece of property, but she thought that was too high all appraisal to put on 1t.
 Then! Up jumped women who had been eager for some time to say few words. It was Mrs Emily Smith of Norwalk, cousin of the late Frank Peck. Although she was repre- sented by Attorney Lowell of Stam- ford she wanted to do little talking herself. How much does Mrs Peck wantT she said. "She wants the Cooley house, valued at $4S,0OO; she wishes the North Main street prop erty, and she also would like the West Main street property. Too bad she does not get it all"
 T think I earned it all," said Mrs Peck, who was seated by the side of Judge Cole.
 "Yes, but we do not get all we earn in this world" snapped Mrs Smith.
 "Yes, but you should consider your self fortunate to get anything" re- piled Mrs Peck. If my husband had signed the will, you would have re- ceived nothing"
 Another hearing will be held next at which time anyone that wishes will be heard.

BALDWIN STREET ENGINE HOUSE
Cheap Brick Used in Building tc
 Cut Expenses,

There is nothing to this talk about
 poor workmanship on the Baldwin
 street engine house, but there is something in the claim that much
 of the material is far from what it
 ought to be. There Is nothing new
 in this. When the committee met
 last year to "pare" things down ii
 was decided to use a cheaper brick
 on the sides of the building than
 was originally intended. The order
 was carried out, but now when they
 come to look at 1t Chief Engineer
 Snagg and one or two of the com
 missioners say it was too bad that
 the same quality of brick was not
 used on the sides as in front. There is no doubt about this, but who is to
 blame for it? Building Inspector
 Chatfleld and Architect Freney pro nounce the workmanship all right,
 but Commissioner Minor does not agree with them, or at least he says he doesn't. This is simply case of where great minds differ, but if it were question of law people would laugh if they heard the building ih- spector and the architect giving tbe limb of the law points on Blackstone.
 The committee visited the house and about the only thing they no- ticed to find fault with was that one radiator will have to be shifted a foot or so and some slight changes will have to be made in the grade of a portion of the concrete cellar so that all water that gets in theru will run to one point and disappear through an opening made for that purpose. So far as the workman ship goes, it is good average job. This is the verdict of men trained in that line and who have no axe to grind. The committee deserves a lew kicks for shaving" the cost SO that material which they are now ashamed of had to be used, and they should receive three or four addi- tional whacks for aiming to throw blame upon the contractor which -v- knows they should shoulder themselves. MT Thompson did well on that house and deserves to he | instead of abused.

vlGER WILL FIGHT
Reported To-day He Will Go To
 United States Court.

It was reported to-day that Alfred E. Viger, of Pittsfeld, Mass, against whom the supreme court of Massa- chusetts last week confirmed yer dict for about $7,O0O damages in favor of Miss Emma Pilon of 133 West Main street, has set the machinery of the law ill motion to take the matter to the supreme court of the United States. From this, it is quite evil dent that Viger is determined to hold onto his money to the last ditch. On what grounds he can take the case to the federal supreme court is hard to see, as the matter does not involve any interstate rights. The fact that the parties to the issue live in differ ent states has no bearing on the case. It has been compared to the suit of William Brennan against the Berlin Iron Bridge company. Brennan lost his right foot by large iron beam falling on it while he was in the em- ploy of the company. That case WtuI tO luc lcucldl SupItluc COulI after being seven years or more in the state courts, every decision going against the company. The federal court said the case had no standing whatever before it, and it was dis missed with decision for Brennan, and in the end the company had to pay the damages.
 Viger seems to be only adding to his already large costs by every turn he takes in the case.
 If he does not take the case to the federal court he will have until next April in which to pay the verdict, with costs. If he fails to pay then, execution can be taken out against him. In any case the verdict has been made secure by attachments on his property and interest at six per cent is going on all the time.
