Let me ChiIdren Plav.

It is too often true of the unhappy children who are forced to rise too ear 1y in their classes that they are con ceited all the forenoon of life and stu pid all it's afternoon. The vigor and freshness which should have been stor- cd up for the purposes of the hard struggle for existence in practical life have been washed out of them by pre- cocious mental debaucher5by glut- tony and lesson bibbing. Their facul- ties are worn out by the strain put upon their callow brains, and they are demoralized by worthless childish tri- umphs before the real work of life be- gins. have no compassion for sloth, but youth has more need for intellectu- al rest than age, and the cheerfulness. the tenacity of purpose, the power of work, which make many a successful man what he is, must often be placed to the credit not of his hours of indus try, but to that of his hours of idleness in b0yhood.-Hu1ley.

SEALERS FAVOR
 SUBSTITUTE BILL
State Association Will Offer it in Legis. Iature Salary and Fee Question
 Argued at Meeting Yesterday.

Sealers of weights and measures from the various cities, towns and boroushs, in the state are in large part, hand in hand in support of the bill, now be- fore the Legislature. providing for the appointment by the governor of state sealer; to have general supervision ana Jurisdiction over all of the sealerS Of weights and measures in the state. For the purpose of discussing this propoS- ed legislation meeting of the state Sealers of Weights and Measures As sociation was held yesterday in Hart ford.
 It is the object of the bill to compel a general conformity with the existing laws relating to weights and meas ureS, which are now enforced Tn put a small percentage of the 168 towns. This can be accomplished only by state Su- pervision, it is believed, for the gen. erai conformity by individual towns has been found to be worthless, as in many instances the Sealer of weights and measures is merely a hgurehead The standards are not maintained and in more than one town are not tested from one year to another. Unoer the persent method the state treasurer mas charge of the weights and measures that are furnished by the United States government to the state, and, with these as an official standard, the respective towns are supposed to nave their standards tested. The state seal CT would be expected to visit each town and test the weights and meas ureS. It was decided to put in Sub- stitute bill The bill provides for eith- CT the payment of the state sealer by salary or by fees, and leaves the mat ter open for the Legislature to decide. Those present at the meeting were: H. P. Bayette of Bridgeport, E. J. Ma roney of New Haven, Frank R. Fla gan of Waterbury, John Johnson of New Britain, s. F. Butterf1eld of West Haven. J. P. Davis of Thompsonvllle and John R. Kemmerer of Hartford.

Double ThfakfuR.

Professor Jastrow, writing in the Popular Science Monthly of the causes of certain lapses of speech. recalls the singular power that Sir Walter Scott, among others, possessed of conducting two trains of thought at the same time. When highly developed this pow CT enables its possessor subconscious- ly to find words expressing a thought already formed while at the same time shaping the next thought period in conscious preparation. An instance is given by Scott's amanuensis, who re- lates that while dictating the novelist would sometimes search through book, finding and reading a passage, and thus keeping two trains of thoughts going simultaneously. The amanuensis discovered the fact that Scott was doing double work in his brain through the occasional occurrence in the dictation of a word which did not fit in the sentence, but four or i've lines farther on the place where the word belonged would turn up.

Give Your Hor.. Mere Water.

Give Your Horse Mere Water.
 Water sh9pld be before horses at all times wheh indoors, and at least no meal should ever be offered and no night lights ever turned out until every animal has had his chance at as many brimming buckets as he will take, says the Outing Magazine. The shy thinker may be tempted by many artifces, like mixing . little molasses. or salt. or oat- meal. or naxseed jelly, or bran, etc, with the water. and constantly varying the flavor. Horses may even have all they want right after feeding, provided they have not been deprived of water for some time previous. Many shy drinkers, like shy feeders, who are gen erally nervous, take all nourishment best at night, when it is dark and quiet, and morning finds the empty manager and bucket which it had seemed, by day, almost nauseated them

Two w.y. of Puttinx It.

Two groups of persons were seated in railway station, according to Lip pincott's Magazine. One consisted of a fashionably attired pair, the other of a pair who looked as if they were from the country. They had been there only a few minutes when a girl came in whose complexion was as nearly per feet as anything in this world ever is While she was buying her ticket the young man remarked to the ladies with him:
 Isn't Miss Cransford a beauty? Her complexion is as perfect as a rose''

Nelson In wolsex's Tomb.

Lord Nelson's sarcophagus in. St. PauPs cathedral has been aptly de- scribed as a secondhand national tomb, for 1t was originally constructed for another great Englishman, Cardi- nal Wolsey. Wolsey had cherished an ambition to be buried within the pre- cincts of Windsor castle and caused his sarcophagus to be carved by one of the most famous sculptors of his time. But Wolsey died in disgrace, and the sarcophagus remained empty at Wind sor until Nelson's death, when it was thriftily employed to hold the remains of the hero of Trafalgar.
