SuneriOr Court

At a short calendar session or the Superior court held in Willimantic last Friday States Attorney Charles E. searls requested that civil matters be taken up this week on account oi other engagements and that the grand jury be summoned to meet in Putnam on Wednesday of next week. The re- quest was granted. The reason for the transfer is that most of the witnesses to appear before the grand jury live in this end of the county and the county will be saved considerable expense by having the jury convene in Putnam It was also decided that the prisoners be brought to Putnam on the same day and be put to plea.
 This means that the preliminary steps in the two murder cases and the two arson cases will be taken in this city but the matter of trial will proba- bly not be decided until after the pris- CTS have been given an opportunity to plead. The October session of the court is scheduled to be held in Willi- mantle.
 Assignments were made for this week beginning Wednesday at Wilii- mantle. The cases assigned are all jury cases.

He Was MIsIed Into PerusIng
an Old Magazine.

Among the things I'd like to know
about" remarked the weary looking
pilgrim with the drab mustache, on
the car. lis this: How does a doctor
or dentist come by his magazines?
Does he go around among his friends
and buy up old ones after his friends
have read 'em, SOS to get 'em cheaper?
Or does he buy new magazines and
then lay them away somewhere and let
them age by natural process before
placing them on the table in his re-
ceptton room?
IA day or SO ago / had occasion to
sit in the reception room Of a prosper
Gus dentist-that is, I suppose he's
prosperous if he charges everybody
on the same scale that he does me-
and while / waited I began to rum
mage through his magazines that I
found lying On the table. l got inter

Reportorial Errors.

by the reporter who made Lord Car

men are expected to have the wis
dom and learning of q ~journeyman
tailor" What he had said vas of
Course a Jeremy Taylor" Another
reporter referred to John Bright as
'the gamecock," instead Of "the CANA
liel of Birmingham And yet IN
other transcribed his notes Of Mr..
Chamberlain's remark, "They bring up
their puny popguns and shatter me
with abuse as '"They bring out their

once highly indignant that Professor
Blackie should have referred to the

when he had really commended its
breezy atmosphere"

Error to Try to Hurry Women.

A Fort Scott (Kan.) man and his
wife were planning to take q trip. the
Tribune of that town says, and after
they had decided on the day the man
spoiled all the pleasure Of preparing
by suggesting that he bet they would
miss the train" On the fatal morning
his wife suddenly remembered that
she had not put in her mirror and
rushed back to get it. When she
started again she was sure there was
something else she had forgotten and
looked in her suitcase to see. 1t hap.
pened to be there, so they rushed to
the depot. The train was just out Of
sight. but the man didn't say Il told
you SO" He did say, though: IF
you hadn't taken 80 much time dress
ing we wouldn't have missed the
train" II know that" returned the
wife. "and II you hadn't rushed me We
wouldn't have had to walt SO long for
the next train"

DANGEROUS FISH TO MEET
Habitat Of South American Waters
That Seems Particularly Fond
Of the Human Body.

Probably n of the most dangerous
and least known Of mans watery enc
mics, says the Wide World Maya
zine, Is the candern, or canern, a fish
three to eight inches long, and guilty
of the extraordinary habit of diving
suddenly into the human anatomy by
the most convenient channels.
There r two distinct species, one
eel-ike In appearance, blunt-headed
and smooth-bodied, the other armed
with q sharp, bony snout, two to three
inches in length, swallow-tailed, and
covered from snout to tail by small
barbs. 1t is particularly attracted by
the human body, into which 1t dives
suddenly and with great force, pro-
ducing a shock somewhat akin to q
powerful electric discharge.
In the case of both types a serious
surgical operation is involved; but in
the case of the Benz variety the more
the fish or the victim wriggIes the far
ther the fish penetrates-and it can
not get back. 1t frequently causes
death, fora surgeon is = rAra avis in
these wilds.
! saw two cut out Of a woman in
Riveralta, South America, where vic
tins are common. The fish Is a
Nbloodsucker, and can be easily caught
with a lump of raw meat, into which
1t dives in a much similar way-the
proboscis being probably its usual
means of securing blood.
