and support family than it used to be. Again it has been pointed out that both marriages and divorces de- crease in hard times.
 Although the women of Connecticut get most of the divorces. they appear most frequently as contesting suits. Of all contested cases the husband opposed PAS times and the wife 574 times.
 Then is the question of tIie number of years that each divorced couple in the State remained married. Eight quit before the end of the first year. And then 153 during the first year, 245 during the second, 3S5 during the third, 621 during the fourth 669 during the fifth Here the maximum of divorces was reached In the sixth year there was decline to 616. but in the seventh year 625 were obtained; in the eiehth SIS, and then the number gradually declined. But some 800 divorces were obtained after the parties had been married more than 21 years.
 So it appears that the greatest dan- gers to married life occur in the first five years.
 The smallest number of divorces rel alive to population were in MiddlesN county. The largest was in Fairfield and Holland counties. The relation was as g is to 5s for Fairfield and 51 for Holland county.

Opie Read, the novelist, once told of his experiences as journalist in Ken lucky many years ago.
 .'There was good deal of news" he said, such as shootings and knidngs, but this news was not regarded as i'm portant, and little attention was paid to it. I remember once. when local feud broke out afresh, when members of the opposing sides met at the coun- ty seat. There were hot words, a blow was struck, and weapons were drawn, when the sheriff interfered. He loudly announced that he would not tolerate any violence, ordered the parties to separate, and when his or- ders were not obeyed he began shoot ing. I forget whether he killed eight 1T nine, but I know that in describing he incident in my paper commend- ed the sheriff for his prompt action md bravery and added the paragraph, There is no doubt but for the prompt lction of the sheriff there would have been bloodshed'

 How the street. urchin spots an s.easy mark and gets the coin was shown recently at Third and Chestnut streets An exceIlently dressed young man with a setter dog which he held by trap was standing on the corner.
 One of the newsboys stood beside he dog and when it's master was not looking reached down and gave it's tail .l sharp pull. With yelp of pain the dog turned quickly and jumped for it's tormentor, but missed him by several inches.
 The fact that the dog did not bite him was no obstacle to the boy, who grabbed his left arm with his right hand and began to scream furiously. "It bit me; it bit me Take me to a hospital
 The owner of the dog became alarm ed and ran to the boy. Here, son. he said. '-take this five dollar bill and keep quiet It'll be all rightsn and he hurried away.

WEEK OF
 BRIDGEPORT PUBLIC MARKET

This week the thirteenth anniversary of the. Bridgeport Public Market will be celebrated by having as usual one of their popular big sales. thereby giv- ing the many patrons of this well known market an opportunity to share the benefits of the rapidly increa sing business The growth of this business has been such that the original build ing became too small making it neces- sary for the new structure which was completed about a year ago. and it is the finest equipped building of it's kind in New England. The cold storage plant is a feature in itself.
 The amount of goods sold daily at the bakery department goes to show the quafny of goods baked on the premises in an up-to-date sanitary bakery Counters of the different de- partments are protected with glass, making the display very attractive.
 To those wishing to see the plan of this well conducted business, the build ing is open for inspection. Endeav- ors are constantly being made to meet the demands of the public in every respect visit to the market during the coming week will prove the above statement Bridgeport Public Mar ket.

There is latent truth in the primi- tive Maori belief that by eating the brains of his enemies a warrior ae- quired their skill and cunning.
 It was custom among these say ages whose descendants I have seen and admired in Hawaii and New Zea- land, to hold brain feast after sue cessful battle. The conquering chief always reserved for his own portion the gray matter of the opposing leader. Observe how the practice works out in modern life. We do not actually eat our rivals brains, but if we are wise we will try to absorb what those brains contain. The man who makes a big success is the man who makes the best use of his enemies, studies their moves, learns their method, knows what thought processes they are apt to follow Down here in the street guess we're more or less akin to thf Maoris, anyway.-New York Herald.

NATURE SPARES The Stricken Rose From Grief.


 What a fortunate provision of na- ture it is, that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for how poignant would be it's grief to discover, in the height of it's blooming glory, that a canker fed at its heart, and that it's beauty and fragrance were doomed forever Nature always spares the suffering; she is a veritable store house of pleasing rewards. for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast a gloom over the lives of thou sands of young women, but thanks to the Investigations of scientists the true cause of hair destruction is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows into the hair follicles.
