BILLIARD PLEADS
 FOR APPRENTICES
President of Manufacturers Association DepIores Lack of System for Training
 Skilled Workmen.
Refers to Method of Y. N. (. A. Trade School, Where Pupils are Compensat' ed for Time = Civilization Demands More and Better Skilled Artisans.

President F. P. Bullard of the Man. l ufacturers' Association, who was the principal speaker at the dinner of the Interstate Contractors, Builders and Dealers Association at the Stratfield last night, made an earnest appeal for the establishment of trade schools and the betterment of conditions for ap- prentices
 He made it plain that skilled work men are the most valuable asset of any concern and that Bridgeport in order to keep abreast of the times and maintain her reputation has got to pro- vide a means of educating the boys who want to learn trades. He said that 95 per cent. of the boys in this city leave school before they have completed their elementary education and upon entering factories they be- come what is known as unskilled labor. Unskilled men he said were Q liabil- ity in every concern.
 He told of the Manufacturers As- sociation trade school for apprentices at the Y. NJ. c. A., where apprentices are allowed pay for their time About 45 boys and young men are receiving instruction. President Bullard urged the builders to investigate the school and learn just what is being done in the way of improving the minds of the apprentices in the trades they were pursuing.
 The progress of civilization he said made a demand for more and better skilled workmen, as new inventions and new trade conditions are chang ing methods constantly, so that there is a constant demand for men to meet the conditions
 MT. Bullard expressed an opinion that apprenticeships should be found ed on certain standards, as some trades require a longer time to learn them. The apprentice, he said, should receive just remuneration for his work. The care and use of implements should be one of the things taught to an ap- prentice In machine shops 95 per cent. of the loss came from the lack Of care of implements. One half of this loss was due to the want of fabrication.
 President Bullard said. that the spir- it which should prevail among em- ployers of labor is that they will fos- ter the apprentice system so that those entering upon trade may De assured of advancement to that point where they may be competent to be superintendents, or to even equip the apprentice for the business if he wants to embark in it.
 During the course of his remarks the speaker said he had read of a prisoner asking the judge to send him to prison so he could learn a trade. This con dition he said should not exist in this country.
 There were over 250 guests present and among the other speakers were Postmaster Marigold, President Bo land of the Business Mems Associa- ton. President Orr of the Stamford Assembly, Attorney Spotswood Bowefs. and Building Commissioner DuBois.

Thiers as a Prompter.

Among the anecdotes related by the Marquis Massa in his Souvenirs ct Impressions is one about the first president of the French republic. It runs: "A short time after young Thiers had been elected as legislator num- Der of our set arranged to give per formance of Roman chez la portiere' at the house of a mutual friend On the evening of the performance our prompter deserted us, and without a moments hesitation the new f1edged deputy volunteered to take the place, and despite the protests of some of the party, who feared that his dignity might be everlastingly injured, he jumped into the box, where he re- mained ready to help us in time of need until the curtain descended on what proved to be highly satisfac- tory performance"

huntino With Lichted Crabs,

A group of clubmen seated about an odorous cedar fire talked of hunting.
 "Once I hunted with lighted crabs" said an eK-censul. Tt was in, the des- olate region of France called La Ven dee. There is no hunting there but sea gulls (which the French adore to shcoD and rabbits. It was to get the rabbits that we used the crabs. We caught some dozens of small, lively fellows, fastened on their backs light ed candles and sl1oved t.yem down into rabbit holes. The rabbits, scared to death by those strange moving lights, rushed forth frantically-forth into the very muzzles of our guns. This sounds rather frisky perhaps but it is Vendean custom as widespread as coon hunting in the south" .".Cin- cinnati Enquirer.

The Swaffham Tinker and His Dog..
 Two quaint figures are carved on the two top pews and reading desk of Swaffham church. According to leg end, a tinker had a dream bidding him go to London bridge and stranger would reveal to him how to find a pot of money. So off he went with his dog, and at the bridge a stranger stopped him. saying, Hast night I had dream bidding me go to Swaffham and dig in such and such place and there find pot of money, but don't believe in dreams" Then back went the tinker, dug for and found the pot as described and also an inscription bidding him dig deeper, which he did. and found another, and with them re- stored Swaffham church. The carv- ings were put up to perpetuate his memory.-London Strand.

often Is called squid (octopus). One species of this animal is caught by the aid Of a torchlight' in shallow water While. bag net is held some distance in front of 1t, so that it can conven- iently run into 1t and be caught, it is prodded behind by the fsherman's foot. Sometimes the squid will go di- rectly into the trap. but often it will run forward, with every indication of being enmeshed, to point within two feet of the net, when it will suddenly turn about and go back to it's starting place. Then it is likely to describe right, left or oblique angle, always contrary to the fisherman's desire. So in Hawaiian metaphor the, politician or candidate who switches from the straight track is squid.-"Paradise of the Pacific"

Hard to Kill.

A distinguished entomologist J. c. Warburg, writes: 'tWhen I was still new to collecting, in the south of France I discovered one day, to my great joy, large female of Saturnia pyri hidden away in some bushes. The specimen was the first I had ever caught, and decided, on account of its large body. to stuff it. Ca quite un- necessary operation; I: have kept doz- ems since unstuffed). The moth was first apparently killed by being forced into a cyanide bottle, where 1t was left about an hour. The abdomen was then emptied and the cavity filed with cotton wool soaked in a saturat- ed solution of mercuric chloride. The insect, pinned and set. was discov- cred next day attempting to fly away from the setting board"

The interview.

As used nowadays by the newspa- pers the word interview is said to have been the invention of Joseph McCul- lagh of St. Louis, and. according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, it became popular in England in the early nine ties. But 1t was known before that A writer on the subject in the Nation of 1869 was possibly the first to use the word in it's present sense of talk with representative of the press- Chicago News.

Grant and Sumner.

Concerning the reliability of things in print, it is recalled that Charles Sumner criticised General Grant sav agely, and some time after some one was talking to Grant about atheism in New England and remarked, 'Even Sumner does not believe in the Bible." "Why should heT' quietly replied Grant. "He didn't write it."

Raise More Hogs.

With Pork at 500 4 barrel, for
September delivery, the highest since
the war with two brief exceptions, it
would seem that the farmer in the

voting more care and time to raising
hogs. There are few localities where
good hogs can be raised so easily

Kind Hearted Editors.

A short paragraph is going the
rounds about a girl dying from tight
lacing. An editor commenting on
the fact says, Those corsets should
be done away with, and # the girls
can't live without being squeezed, we
suppose men could be found who
would sacrifice themselves. As old
as we are we'd rather devote three
or four hours a day without a farth-
ing Of pay, as a prevent corset
than to see the girls die in that man
ner. Office hours almost any time.
