DAYTIME Somnambulists.

"The latest product of our complex
civilization is the daytime sleep-walk-
err said a hotel clerk. 'The New
York habit of turning night into day
and vice versa is responsible for him.
He is particularly likely to haunt ho-
tells and lodging houses. Night hawks
with somnambulistic tendencies are
frequently numbered among our
guests, and maids and porters now add
to their regular duties a vigilant pa
troll of halls and corridors which the
daytime sleep-walker would be most
likely to choose for promenade. No
body seems to know just what to do
with a person whose daylight slumbers
send him strolling about the hotel in
a state of subconscious activity.
"There are prescribed rules for the
treatment of a nocturnal somnambu-
list Speak to him softly, touch him
gently, lead him back to his room.
Just so. In the case Of midnight
sleepwalker that usually works, but
just try it on man parading around
in broad daylight and see what hap
pens. Daytime somnambulists seem
unusually high-strung, and no matter
how gentle the attack, most of them
have to be escorted back to their
rooms in a hysterica1 condition"

STILL HAD A POINT TO MAKE
Domestic Difficulties Being Settled,
Woman Insisted Upon One 9th
err Understanding.

A colored couple was taken before
the Juvenile court and against the
man was placed the charge of neg
lecting his children. Judge Taylor
gave advice as to what should be done
to straighten out the family trouble
so the couple could continue to live
together and support the children.
"You are earning So a week, and
have three children to support on
that" said the Judge. "It is evident
that you must cut your expenses down
as low as possible. You are paying
for a piano by installments. You will
have to stop that, for people in your
circumstances can't afford to have
piano.
"You must leave the house you are
living in and move to a smaller one
with lower rent. You ought not to
pay over SIS or Sc month for rent"
The mother objected to this, saying
that she could not live in a respecta-
BILE neighborhood under such condi-
tons.
The Judge found that they belonged
to different churches, and he advised
that the wife join the husbands
church He added that it was proper
that the husband hold the purse
strings. After many other difficulties
had been smoothed over the case was
continued two weeks to give the new
methods trial. The couple left, but
at the door the woman turned to the
Judge and said:

New England.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May l, 1912

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May l, 1912.
Although good start has been made
il the preparing of the seed beds and
many of the young plants are now
sprouting in the May sunshine, the ex-
tent and variety of the coming seasons
New England crop is more or less a
matter of speculation. While the large
corporations growing tobacco under
shade have been augmented within the
last couple of weeks by couple of
good, healthy new concerns, there is
general tendency to keep the growing
of shade tobacco this season well with
in conservative limits, while additional
ground is put in preparation for future
extensions. The success with which
the Broadleaf and primed Havana Seed
of the last crop has been harvested has
induced the growers to raise more OF
these types. There has been the usual
amount of seed and fertilizer trouble,
good seed being scarce and the fertll-
izer most in demand high in price. Last
week a severe windstorm did some
damage to seed beds and to the cheese
cloth of several of the shade planta-
tions. The Hartford packers report a
good average of business on cured leaf,
especially binder tobaccos.

The Grade Exhibits.

The exercises held in the various
grades of the public schools last Friday
brought out a large attendance. In
connection with the Arbor day exer-
cises an exhibition of the children S
work was given in each room. In addl-
ton to the regular school work.. some
splendid relief maps were shown IN the
seventh grade, and in the fifth and
sixth grades excellent work was shown
in raffia and reed basketry. A most
creditable exhibition of the work done
in drawing was given in Miss Buck S
room. A majority of the work shown
oives evidence of much artistic talent.
In the kindergarten an exhibition OF
work done in cardboard construction,
coloring, cutting and free-hand draw
ing done by the children under six
years of age was shown. The feature
of the program given there was May
pole dance.
While the number of parents present
was gratifying to the teachers, it is to
be regretted that more did not avail
themselves of the opportunity OF seeing
the work accomplished by the children.
No parent is capable Of judging either
the work of pupil or teacher until they
have made at least one visit to the
schools during the year, and an oppor--
tunity such as was given Friday should
not have been neglected. 1t encour-
ages both teacher and pupil.
