Woman. the p,piomat.

Herbert Spencer ,insinuates. in one of his sociological works that the in- direction. the coquetry. the fnesse- nay, all the arts which we find so adorable In women-are modified forms of hypocrisy. Before the ad- vent of civilization woman had in pure self defense to practice an elab- crate deception. In order to please her brutal lord and secure predom- finance among dangerous rivals she had to disguise her natural sentiments and return caresses for blows and smiles for discourtesy. As she could not accomplish her purpose by force. she became an expert in domestic di- plomacy. The craftier. the more guile ful she was the better were her chances of survival. And thus 1t has come to pass that. though the neces- sity for intricate behavior is now much lessened. women practice today, in rpore elusive and refined way. the arts which the instinct of self preser- vation imposed upon their barbarous ancestresses.-H. Fl. Boyesen in "Lit- erary and Social Silhouettes."

 An idea of the free and easy meth ods of the railways in Spain is given in this incident, related by Henry A. Franek in -Four Months Afoot In Spain"
 When I reached the station next morning the platform gate was locked and the train I had hoped to take was legally departed. A railway hanger on In rags and hemp sandals, however. climbed the iron picket fence aud shouted word to the engineer. Then, beckoning to me to follow, he trotted back into the building and rapped au thoritatively on the closed window of the ticket office.
 "Senor," he said as the agent looked out upon us, ''be kind enough to sell this caballero ticket"
 ''The train is gone," answered the agent.
 '.Not so, senor," replied the bundle of rags haughti1y. T am having It held that this cavalier may take it."
 "Ah. very well!' responded the ofa- cial, and, having sold me the ticket, he handed to the hanger on the key to the platform gate. ASa I passed through it the latter held out his hand. into which dropped copper.
 "Muchisimas gracias, caballero," he said, lowing profoundly, land may your grace forever travel with God"

To Give Him .h. Sack.

Two noblemen in the reign of Maxi milan H.-1564- 1566-one a German. the other SpanIard. who had each rendered great service to the em- peror. asked the hand of his daughter in marriage. Maxfmilian said that as he esteemed them both alike 1t was impossible to choose between them. and therefore their own prowess must decide it; but. being unwilling to risk the loss of either by enga ging them in deadly combat. he ordered a large sack to be brought and declared that he who should put his rival into it. should have his fair Helena. And this whimsical combat was actually performed in the presence of the i'm perial court and lasted an hour. The unhappy Spanish nobleman was first overcome. and the German succeeded in enveloping him in the sack. putting him upon his back and laying him at the emperor's feet. This comical com bat is said to be the origin of the phrase "Give him the sack" so com. mon in the literature of courtinG.

ENFIELD FORCED TO
 BORROW MONEY THRICE

Thompsonville. Dec. 2eFor the third time rIt..s October lH last. Town Treasurer HIlditch has found the treasury empty when it came time to pay the school teachers their monthly salary. Yesterday a selectmen's note for $3,O00 endorsed by J. Francis Browne, Alvah s. Brainard and Chas. D.s Bent as selectmen and Eldon l.. Hilditch as town treasurer, was de- posted with the Hartford Trust Co., and checks were drawn against this account, so that the teachers may re- ceive their salary before the closing of the schools for the Christmas vaca- tion tomorrow, at the close of the books of the former administration 8 accounts for the treasurer's report showed balance on hand of $2, ,59O.72, and an indebtedness of $74,735.74. Since the new administration took hold of office on Oct. 1, they have borrowed $23.O00, spent the license money of $7,250, and in addition every account available has been collected, and the the town. Many believe now that the town was nearer $100,O00 in debt, and point to the amounts paid within six ty days to prove their assertions. Most of the money was used in paying bills contracted before the reform admins
 tration went into office. A member of the board of selectmen remarked
 today facetiously, that Enfield holds
 the record for borrowing money, DO
 lice troubles, dissatisfaction wit1 themselves, and everyone else. Wha the New Year will bring forth in towr politics no one knows.

Globe Girdler Arrives
 After World Round Walk

New York, Dec. 22.-Capt. H. M. Seaton of Chicago, who arrived We'd nesday on the American liner Ph1la- delphia from Southampton, said he had walked 34,200 miles on his tramp around the world visiting every coun- try. To prove his statements, the bronZed man of feet inches, weigh ing 25O pounds, showed a book full of postmarks from the different of fees he had visited. He started from New York on April g, 1908, and walk ed 5,483 miles to the Pacific coast at an average of 40 miles a day.
 During his three and half years tramp Capt. Seaton said he had met with many adventures in which his life was in peril. In walking 5000 miles across the Australian desert he was near death from starvation and thirst, and saved his life by cutting the telegraph wires so lineman would be sent to repair them.
 In his expedition into Thibet from Darjheling in the Himalaya noun tains he was captured on his way to Lhassa, "The Forbidden City," by the vigilant natives, who live in trees and warn each other of the arrival of a stranger by uttering a peculiar wall. After being tortured with iron spikes and burned on the soles of his feet he managed to escape and got into China. He also says he walked through Africa from Cape Town to Cairo and never took a conveyance on his entire journey except to cross water.

 Tn the Andes. half a thousand feet higher than Pike's peak, is to be found the Peruvian Garden of the Gods. ad- mired by every traveller fortunate enough to visit it." writes William V. Afford. F. R. G. S.. in the Century. 'Tt is locally called the Rock forest, though in no sense of the word is it a forest. It simply resembles one when viewed at distance of ten miles. The traveller may be forgiven the error of thinking 1t forest as be sees it for the first time and forgets that he is no longer where trees grow. but with in half an hours ride of the highest city in the world. Cerro de Pasco. perched like condor on the high peaks of the Andes.

The Dav of the Carver

Carving wes once serious thing. The sixteenth century carver was a professional. He had to make the joint fit the guest. The size of his slices was the thing. Then he had to know his guests and cut accordingly. A lord. for instance. at the table, and pike was dished up whole. Smaller fry. and the pike came on in slices. The same procedure with pig.

Germs In the Teeth.

Everybody knows in a general way how important it is to give the teeth a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth out first thing in the morning. The object, of course, is to remove the ac- emulation of bacteria which gathers on the teeth, gums, tongue and palate during the hours of sleep. How many germs do you suppose accumulate dur ing the nights sleep? In answer to this question H c. Bousfield, writing in the London Lancet, gives some in teresting and rather startling figures which are worth quoting. He states that he has found the mouth on wax ing in the morning to obtain abou 3.O00, 100000 bacteria capable of bein. removed by a fvefold rinsing witt twenty-five cubic centimeters of wate each time After ordinary washing he teeth with a hard toothbrus'
 bout one-fourth the number coul.
 till be rinsed away. After usin'

Highway Commissioners
 Letter to Selectnien

State Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald yesterday sent to the se'ectmen of the 168 towns in the State copy of a letter which he sent in the State,. with a copy of the law relating to the attitude of the State concerning the entrance upon the trunk lines by public service corpora tionS
 The commissioner, in his letter, says that the commission has been put to a large amount of annoyance of ex- pense and considerable troubles by public service corporations entering upon the highway systems. Through carelessness, or neglect, on the part of the workmen, Or those in charge of the work, the roads have been de- stroyed. .
 This matter had assumed such pro portions that it was considered of suf- ficient importance by the committee on roads, rivers and bridges of the Leg islature of 1911, to enact a new law re- quiring public service corporations de- siring to enter upon any of the high ways under State care or construction, first to obtain a permit from the high way department to do so. This law was passed that a proper regard for the work done by the State prior to the time of entering thereon he had by all public service corporations
 MT. Macdonald also has enclosed a circular letter to the selectmen, call ing attention to changes made in the old laws. Under the law of 1911, the State pays the entire expense of the maintenance of State roads and of all repairs on all of the fourteen trunk line highways appearing on the map accompanying the report of the years of 1907 and 1908. Another important change is the protection of the sys- tenn by which the trunk line system is to be completed before the trunk. line money is used for any other road than one of these fourteen trunk lines. The trunk line appropriation is now s2,z GOO, ,000.

WILD CAT IN TRAP
 GIVES MAN TUMBLE

Torrington, Dec. 22-Perry Wheeler and Charles Reichel, while hunting the woods around West Hill Pond on Tuesday, came suddenly on couple of wild cats, caught in steel traps. Wheeler thought he could handle the big one with a club but before he could get within striking distance the animal sprung at him through the bushes. Wheeler was so startled that in jumping back he fell over a root on his back and lost his club. The cat was following up its advantage as fast as it could when Wheeler's s companion secured the club and kept the animal busy until Wheeler could recover his footing and his gun and shoot it. After the cat was dead he found that it had gnawed off the sap ling, to which the trap was anchored, and was prevented from escaping by the tangYng of the chain in the bushes.
 The other cat, a female. was shot after the first excitement had subsided. The big one weighed twenty-four pounds

He;n. Made Goethe Smile.

When I visited Goethe, in Weimar. and stood before him, involuntarily glanced at his side to see whether the eagle was not there with the lightning in his beak. I was nearly speaking Greek to him; but, as observed that he understood German. l stated to him in German that the plums on the road between Jena and Weimar were very good. I had for so many long winter nights thought over what lofty and pro- found things I would say to Goethe if ever I saw him. And when saw him at last said to him that the Saxon r r'ums were very good! And Goethe smiled. Heine, "Reisebilder." l"

New York will never give in the same degree as London the impression of being real city. It is on too big or too small a scale for that; its rivers are too wide-they break the sense of continuity.

Then he took the boy by the arm and shook him. The little fellow yawned and after stretching his arms woke up. He was surprised at first as he gazed into the policeman's eye.
