Work and Life.

I was much impressed by what the head of large and prosperous bour- 'geois French family said to an Ameri- can friend: During the day we are all busy with our various avocations. The evenings are devoted to more seri- ous things-reading, music, conversa- tion, society" This is surely the nor nal point of view of a civilized man living in a civilized society.
 In Italy, where social life, as in France, is taken somewhat more seri- ously than with us, it is usual for the women prominent in society to re- ceive in the evening. One evening a week Sometimes two, in few cases every evening" is set apart for receiv- ing the friends and habitues of the house. In Rome, where society is more crystallized, where the social game is better played than in any com munity I know, one or two of the great houses are open to visitors on every evening of the week-Maud Howe, in 'Harper's Bazaar

Ludcrous Mistake in French Law
 Hard to Correct.

Curious difficulties occasionally be- Bet young people who wish to marry in France. A young Frenchman pro posed recently to a a Mile. Eugenie, and was accepted. The parents be- gan collecting the mass of legal pa- pers required for French marriages. Among the first to be obtained was Mdlle Eugenie's birth certificate, and when they got it they found that she was registered a boy. She is put down in the big book as a male, and a male she remains legally and admin istratively.
 Her parents pointed out first, that she was obviously, de facto, a girl; second, that the Christian name of Flu genie entered in the register was fem mine; and third, that if she had been a boy she would already have been called up for the conscription, being of age. The authorities replied that none of these arguments were legally and administratively valid, and that she continued to be boy
 Administrative reports. procedure. and decision of the courts, all at the parents expense, will be required before the law acknowledges Mdlle. Eugenie to be of the feminine sex and allows her to marry.

MANY DELIGHT IN NoRWIcH-NEW LONDON WALK Find the Scenery Attractive and the
 Walking Good.

The walking fever. which 25 years ago held the country firmly in it's grip. seems to be having a return, particu- larly with the revival of interest caused by Weston's long distance hikes against time and hereabouts formation of walking clubs, the fre- quent trips against time over the road from Norwich to New London, and other things that have come to pass of late are evidences of this.
 From New London to Norwich and vice versa seems to be a commonly accepted route and this is also one of the favorite walks of George Crosbie of New London. He has walked over this route more than 300 times and, except on one or two occasions. has always followed the same plan of walking up on the New London side and returning on the Groton side along the river bank and not on the turnpike. T walk along the river bank because I like the scenery so much" Mr Crosbie offered by way of explanation for this.
 T do not walk for fame" he said, simply for pleasure I do not try to make any fast time, but I walk because l enjoy the exercise" Then he told of the trips he has taken on recent Sundays eac hone covering more than 50 miles. He goes in all directions, sometimes toward Lyme. other times in the direction of Mystic. and often, as has been said, to Norwich and re- turn.
 MT. Crosbie wished it understood that he did not wish to be looked up- on in the light of a pedestrian but that his long walks are prompted by love of the exercise.
 T do not like nOtoriety. and I don't walk for it" he said but as he said this his voice betrayed just a suspicion of pride as his thoughts went back over the long walks he has taken and as he thought of the ease wi which he can even now make these journeys, which would exhaust the stamina of many a younger and stronger man.
 Many others enjoy that walk, and Dr. A. Bishop of New York city, a few years ago. for he is now close to the 90 mark, was a great walker. Physi- cal exercise he enjoys and long walks have no terrors for him. On a visit to New London a few years ago he decided to go from New London to Norwich, not by trolley, as he first intended, but to walk, and he did so, making the trip in good time and without effort. From Norwich he walked to Jewett City, where he vis- ited at the home of Simon Morse. an old friend.

400 DEFENDANTS.
About Every Halter in Danbury is
 Concerned in This Suit.

The April term of the United States circuit court will be opened in New Haven on Tuesday, April 27, at 10 o'clock in the morning. There are nine cases on the trial calendar which will Ire claimed for trial and if they are all assigned for trial Judge James P. Platt will be occupied well into the, summer One case will awaken the attention of all who belong to labor unions. The case has been to the supreme court of the United States once and there are about 400 defendants. in fact about every man who is engaged as a natter in Danbury and who belongs to the hatters' union is made a defendant.
 D. F. LoeWe SS Co.,, hat manufac- turers, are the plaintiffs. They claim that the members of the matters union caused a boycott to be made on their hats and that as @ result their busi- ness was injured. II is expected that when the case is tried it will take at least six weeks and it has been said that there will be witnesses from as north as Maine to as far west as C-ifOrnia.
 The action very largely has to do with the law of boycott and because of the vast principles involved the case is regarded as about the most impor- tant thaI has ever been before a court in this country The case gets into the United States court because D. F. Loewe & Co. are engaged in interstate trade

BISHOP BREWSTER
 FAVORS NEW DIOCESE.
Division Will Be Discussed at This
 Years Convention.

That the proposition, recently re- newed. for the division of the diocese of Connecticut. has the earnest sup port of Bishop Brewster, was made apparent from incidental references made by him to the idea, in one of his addresses and in private conver- sation. Bishop Brewster is neither old nor infirm. He is able to attend to his episcopal duties as well as any bishop could perform them. The ar gument for creating two dicosesse in the state grows out of the belief held by the bishop, and shared by many of the clergy, that the number of parishes is too large and the demand upon the time of the bishop for other duties is too great to permit of giving to each parish and to each of the many sub jects to be dealt with a sufficient amount of time. While Connecticut is a small diocese territorially. it is real ly one of the largest in the Episcopal church of America when the number Of clergy, parishes and communicants is considered. Diocesan division will be formally discussed at the conven- tion this year. and. while it may be some time before the new diocese is formed. the prospect that one will be formed looks very favorable.

How to Keen Younn.

It is true that the neophobia of the old has its cause in mental attitude rather than in physical decay It is not that the mental power is less, but 1t is natural for a man to rely on the thinking he did in his twenties and to refuse to reopen questions he set tied" half a lifetime ago
 This atrophy of thought can be avoided if the danger is foreseen, and a man deliberately forms the habit of breaking thought habits. It can be escaped if a man recognizes that he is borne on a stream of social change and that, instead of trusting to the perspective in which things appeared in his youth, he must look and look again.-From Social Psychology, by E. A. Ross.

REDWINGED BLAcKBIRDs
Subject of Educational LeafIet by Ma.
 bel Osgood Wright.

Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright who has a beautiful country seat at ROckcrest. near Stratford. has recently published an educational leafet on the red wing ed blackbird, which pretty feathered sOngster can be seen at this time of the year in all our meadows and fields, says the Bridgeport Farmer. Mrs. Wright admits that this bird eats grain. and is a menace to the farmer in certain regions. We know it has the habit of eating sweet corn when it is in the milky stage and it will strip the husks off whole garden full. But it must be admitted in justice to the bird that it eats many cutworms. grass hoppers. plant lice, and various lar vac When it cannot get better food to it's liking it will eat the domestic garden berries, but the young birds are fed upon an insect diet, for their little stomachs need something strong CT than fruits and vegetables. Mrs. Wright says March and April would seem lonely without the red wing. They come in their due season, the same as weddings and elopements.

RexeaIlnn Ancient History.

In Laconia, Greece, where excava- tions are being carried on vigorously by English archeologists, the latest finds confirm many assertions by an- cient authors concerning the Spartans. It becomes definitely known that Lace daemonia was formed by the union of five villages; that only priestesses and citizens fallen in battle were buried; that children were birched in public, etc. But the, most fortunate discovery is that of the most ancient Doric temple known. It dates from 500 B. c. It is built partly of wood and partly of sun-baked bricks.

He could neither eat nor drink without the greatest az ony, yet he had to ride 30 miles a day in his avocation. After the second dose his stomach was renewed and his appetite returned.

 It was merely a caution, the officials say and win be followed by stringent enforcement of the law.
