THE SWITCHING NUISANCE.

It's Saint Switchin's day every day, and great many hours every day, at the Main street crossing, and the switch ing nuisance, which was to some extent abated few months ago, when vigor- ous and vehement kick was registered at headquarters, is now as intolerable as ever.
 Complaint is general and frequent, that the crossing is monopolized by the cars, and team and auto traffic impeded to greater extent than the actual needs of the railroad trains warrant, and it is plainly charged that the trainmen ap- parently take delight in holding up high way travel and keeping it held up longer and oftener than there is any necessity for doing so.
 One of these days some indignant driv- CT will hold watch on the offending train, and when the legal limit is exceed ed the engineer, and conductor will be yanked from their posts and haled to court.
 The warning should not go unheeded. AS Dan Sweeney says, "A word to the wise is worth two in the bush.''

Letters From the People
in Praise of Country Road

 To the Editor of The News:
 There are many country roads i'll New England, some good, some not As good as they might be. Roads. like other things, vary in quality but there Is one running from Cornwall Bridge to Els worth, where it crosses the hill on It's way to Sharon, which I have passed over many times this summer, and al ways with pleasure.
 Starting at the bridge, it makes au al moft continuous climb for three miles, sometimes with steep ascent, sometimes with easy grades, and now and then a downward dip between the breasted hills, then up again, and up through wooded growths of pine, oak, chestnut and naples, that. like 'the trees of the Lord, are full of sap ;' and birch with bark of mottled white, giving kind of cooler garments for the long hot summer days. There are few open spaces and three or four houses. and sawmill on this road but full two-thirds of the way natures setting of the trees among the rocks, for trees can grow where a blow could not turn furrOw.
 Through these wooded stretches 1t is indeed a beautiful road, we'll fringed with fragrant ferns, and bound to per manen by the many rocks flung i'll at random on either side rocks green with moss or gray with creeping ichens. Part way mp the hill the road skirts close a deep ravine, so deep at first you do not hear the babbling brook that tumbles down the stony gully at it's base, but farther on the road and brook make friends and run side by side awhile, then cross each others path, and farther on they cross again. This brook was once famous for trout, but now, alas, their day has gone, and talk of speckled beau 'ties taken from its limpld pools IS talk of things that were. But still the brook is there, and there may it always be. We'll up the hill, an unfailing spring of purest water fills with its constant flow large iron kettle at the foot of but ternut tree, where horses, tired with a three. mile climb from Cornwall Bridge, like to drink. Nor has there failed, for those with eyes to see it's loveliness, the glinting of the sunshine through the leaves of the over-arching trees along this road, whose constant curving lines are fitted to the hills over which it takes its winding way.
 This W inding country road, with its wayside shrubbery and ferns, and rocks and trees and brook and living spring aud sunshine sifted through the rain washed leaves. is like friend that talks to one with sweet. alluring words, that says at every turn, "See here, see here, just see my loveliness am I not fair as any park laid road?" and from my heart I say, Yes, fairer far to me, you dear old road.'
 Just now it is little travel worn and rough, but if you look mp and not down if you look out and not in, it is still a thing of beauty and when rightly mend, ed should be a source of joy to every one passing over it. For the purest cups of joy lie often near the ups and downs of our lfe's dusty way, cups we might quaff most any day. J. K. T.

What the Other Fellows Say,

There were forty-two bad bills before the General Assembly which we set out to kill. Of course every one of them had friends who were working to pass them. Some were very bad, some only partially so, but not one was fit for the statute books. All but one of them are dead at this writing Citi- zen.
 If some of the leading Connecticut journals do not stife their terror over the notion that the state will do itself an injury by absorbing too much progress the Farmer will call them ''fraidcats "- Bridgeport Farmer.
 Since the Connecticut Legislature voted a million dollars to improve the harbor at New London, an exchange suggests that perhaps this state has given up hope of another congressional pork barrel.-Bridgeport Post
 It does not make so much difference now what the committee finds or fails to find. The senate itself has sternly said it will not stand for any more Lori mer scandal.-Waterbury Republican.
 Despite all that has been said relative to the motives of the newspaper pub llSnerS 1aVOrlnB the Cahaulan reciprocity J treaty it is not probable that news paper will be any cheaper should the treaty be ratified by Canada At least this is the opinion of one manufactured of news paper and no doubt he is pretty near right.-Pittsferd Eagle.
 Nothing of poisonous nature, or a ne9rpoiSonous nature should ever be placed where it will be mistaken for 1 something quite harmless. The forfeit may be a life, or long season of ill. health, and the penalty long years oi sorrow and bitter regret for those left tc mourn over a mistake that might easily have been Prevented.-Hartford Post.

PRIVATE DRINKING CUPS

''It is too bad" in the opinion of the New Haven Union, "that the Connecti- cut legislature is not going to do some thing during this session to prohibit the public drinking cup by law"
 This refers, of course, to the cups pro- vided at public water tanks, drinking fountains, town pumps, etc., where the thirsty public assuages it's thirst, and the same cup is passed from Tom to Dick and then to Harry, and so on, and is never washed, seldom rinsed, and hard ly ever clean. The crusade against the public drinking cup as & disseminator of disease germs is of comparatively recent origin, and had its inception in the movement of the cleanly church goers for individual communion cups as safeguard against the transmission of bacteria. The idea was ridiculed at first, by the minimizing, but it has gained headway until all sorts of civic and san itary societies and even state legislatures have taken it up, and enacted rules and laws prohibiting the use of public drink ing cups in the interest of the public health. AS the Union says: "New Jersey is the last state to abolish this great breeder of disease, thereby follow ing the example of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Ok. lahoma, Kansas and Idaho. The New York city board of health and the Chi cago board of health have also conducted timely and efficient crusades against the public drinking cup. Several state leg islatures have bills now pending before thexn to do away with this evil"
 On many of the railroads the public drinking cup is abolished, and the pas sengers, on trains and in waiting rooms, notified that individual cups will be provided on application to the proper officials.
 This growing interest in the sRbstitu- tion of individual cups for public drink

Meaning of Biblical Term.

An exchange gives the following table of Biblical terms translated into present day meaning, It is convenient to paste in Bible for reference. It also may be used at times to arrest the attention of boys whose alert minds will be glad, for instance, to figure out just how tah Goliath was, and to approximate what measurement in the classroom the giant would reach were he present. This is the table:
 A days journey was about 23 1.5 miles. A Sabbath days journey was about an English mile.
 A cubit was nearly 22 inches.
 A span was nine inches.
 A hands breath is equal to three and tive-eighths inches.
 \ finger s breadth is equal to cns inch. A shelxel of silver is about b0c
 (rhe ratio ui a shekel of silver to shekel of gold was apparently l6 to l.) A talent of silver was $53S30,
 A talent of gold was 'Sl8.809.
 A piece of silver, or a penny, was l3c, X tarthing was 3c.
 A mite was less than a quarter of a cent.
 A gerah was lc.
 An epnah, or bath. contained seven gallons anu five piEts,
 A hin was one gallon and two pints. A tirkin was about eight and seven eighths gallons.

Old-T Weather

The Boston Globe has been looking up data on the weather, from newspapers and personal records kept before there was any weather bureau in Washington, from which it finds that tho recent ''un- precedented" hot spells were beaten out of sight in the early part of the last cen tury. The Globe given the result of it's researches as follows
 Perhaps you think that the weather, which only few days ago tried your health and temper so severely, was the hottest ever recorded in New England. It was the hottest ever recorded here since the establishment of the weather bureau in Boston, but in lsll, in the month of July, the mercury went as high as l07. For Ia days of that month the temperature was never less than 65, and for the other l5 days, it was never less than 99.
 But cheer up, do not be downcast and fear that we may get some weather moro scorching than we have had this year, On the contrary, we may get some very cold weather. You never can tell. Ma ture indulges Tn strange freaks. In 1sI6 she went on her widest spree in this glorious New Lngland of ours. From Connecticut to Maine there were severe frosts in every summer month. The crop of Indian corn was almost entirely cut off. There was not more than half the usual supply of hay. potatoes and oats.
 In June the hills were as barren as in December. More than one farmer had to go 40 miles to get half bushel of corn and pay S2 for it. Cattle died for want of fodder and many of the inhabi- tents came near perishing of starvation, D spair seized the people. Many emi- grated to the West. They were pessl- mists who thought the climate had pre- manently changed, They believed tina New England was destined to become part of the arctic region. Last week it seemed more likely to gain admission to the torrid zone.
 When we recall these wonders of the salubrious climate of New England. let it not be imagined that We would in- dulge in vain boasting. If we have had the hottest summer day ever recorded in the United States, it is only historically just to mention 1t. So, too, mention should be made of the fact that we have had the coldest days in summer known to history. Nor should any one lose sight of the fact that New England is the incomparable summer resort.
