one of the early vegetable gardens of

ably as far advanced as any in town,
as they have not only blossomed but
also have pods on them. There is no

in season for the traditional Fourth of

before.

SOME OLD BOOKS
Dating Back to the Times Of the Old
Connecticut Blue Lave.

Dating Back to the Times Of the Old
Connecticut Blue Laws.
G. b. Oatman Of Oatman Hill, near
the village OF East Arlington is the
possessor Of book Of some 400 pages
descriptive OF the old blue laws en-
acted In the early days Of the country
in the state Of Connecticut. The book
gives many of the rigid regulations
that prevailed In that state about 100
years ago. and the penalties that were
prescribed for violations of these
rules.
Among these so-called blue laws
was one prohibiting mother from
kissing her own child on Sunday or
on fasting day. Another laid down
the method by which mother should
cut her sons hair which was to split
a pumpkin in two, scoop out the seeds,
place one-half on the boys head and
then cut the hair to conform with the
rim Of the halved pumpkin. The book
contains an old wood cut engraving
depicting Connecticut mother shear
ing away the locks of her young hope
full and using the half Of pumpkin to
secure the proper style OF Cut"
According to the book owned by Mr.
Oatman 1t was not permitted in the
days of the blue laws to travel, cook
any food, make beds, sweep or cut
hair on Sunday. The punishment
prescribed for misdeeds was the rack.
A man imprisoned for debt could take
an oath that he had no estate and be
released but he was then bound out"
to make good his debt by working for
the person who bought him.
Mr.. Oatman also has several other
old books, among them q biography
OF the presidents published in 1886.

skvscRAPeHs IN oLpEN TIMES
Roman Law Prohibited Buildings More
Than 100 Feet High.

The skyscraper is no modern In
vention." says st. Louis architect.
we'll read In the history Of his profess.
sion.
In all the ancient cities where
brick or stone was available, high
houses, within the walls Of the city,
were very numerous. because OF the
lack Of ground space for building. II
the days Of Augustus the tenement
houses In Rome became so high as to
be dangerous. and laws were passed
condemning number OF tenement
rows and ordering them to be taken
down, while at the same time a law
was enacted limiting the height Of all
future tenements to 100 feet. For
palaces and public buildings there was
no limit. After the burning Of the
city In Nero's time the streets, which
before we're no wider than our alleys
were made broader; some Of them
through the business part OF the city
we're 40 feet wide, and some OF the
great thoroughfares were go. The
tenement height was lowered to sc
feet, and, as consequence, the city
spread far beyond Its walls. The
average height Of a ceiling In a Roman
tenement was little over Ave feet,
the windows were open holes In the
wall. stopped in cold weather witt
board shutters. So, by comparison
the worst modern tenement Is n pal
ace compared with the skyscrapel
home Of the poor when the empire
was at It's best"
