 Electricity has contributed many wonderful things to toyland. Happily these electric toys not only serve to amuse the youngsters, but teach them much about the fundamental princi. pies of electricity which will be of great value in their latter lives, says Electric News Those of us who spent the haleyon days of our youth long be- fore everything was electrified must confess wofu lack of knowledge of things electrical. We do not know why the electric cars run, we cannot explain the electric light, and the mysteries of the electric door bell are far beyond our ken. But the youngster who plays with toy eiee- tric railway, a tiny motor and small generator soon learns the why and wherefore of the various mechanical devices And, test of all, the same principles are involved with the mini ature apparatus as in the giants of their kind In everyday use.

Dedication of Sehauiiler Memorial Libra.
 " al Mount fiermon School

Founders ney, February 9th, at Mount Hermon School, which Dwight l., Moody founded at Northheld thirty years ago, was made notable this year on account of the dedication of the beautiful new Schautller Memorial lA- brary, the gift of Mrs. A. f. Schauiiief of New York city, in memory of Rev. William C. Schauiller, D. D., long connected with the educational and missionary work in Turkey. The Ii. brary is a one story brick building, with Vermont marble trimmings, and colonial in style. It Is semi.iireproof, and It's details are all according to the best modern library practices, with steel book stacks in the stack rooms inlaid cork floors for the sake of quiet and furnished with substantial oak reading tables, chairs, etc.
 Many people are unaware of the tre- mendous strides which Mount Her. mon has made in the past few years in the way of material equipment. As a matter of fact, there has not been q five-sear period in the history of the school in which new buildings have not been erected, but the greatest ad vance has been within the past few years.
 Moreover, If the record her graduates are now making in nearly hundred colleges and other higher institutions of learning Is criterion, Mount Her mons scholarship standards are keep ing pace with her material improve ments.
 With all these changes Mount Her mon has been kept true to the original purpose of Mr. Moody, that Is, in keeping the price of board and tuition low and in opening it's doors only to those who cannot afford 10 go 10 a more expensive school.

General Assembly

Representative Davenport of Pom fret introduced a resolution Tuesday appointing Attorney Eric II. Johnson judge of the Putnam city court.--Cal- endar
 Representative Macdonald of Put nam introduced a bill establishing a trade school at Putnam. He feels that If any town In eastern Connecticut is entitled to such an institution Putnam Is that town. It is the center of a manufacturing district and itself a busy textile center Hundreds Of young men are growing up in the mill villages of Windham county, where there is not a solitary state institution, with no great prospect of ever climb ing very high in life if they elect to stay in their home towns, where there are few opportunities. The great ma jority of these boys would like prac. tical education in the trades or crafts, home; and as leaving home entails a greater expense than they or their par ents, in hundreds of cases, are able 10 meet, they find themselves facing the alternative of plodding on, denied of what has readily been given In the way of opportunity by the state to other sections of Connecticut, with the chances that they will never be able to command much more than the wage of an average laborer
 The county commissioners report was presented at the Windham county meeting and was accepted. Thomas J. Kelly of Windham and Charles Johnson Of Thompson were elected county auditors. E. II. Corttis was nominated for county commissioner and the democrats nominated l.. l.. Smith of Putnam.

Asks suffragisrs Hand in Marriage

A story to the effect that proposal Of marriage was made 10 the speaker, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, st the suffra- gist rally in Danielson recently was sent out from that place. The story goes that while the collection was be- ing taken au elderly farmer stepped up to one of the nshers and asked if Dr. shaw was married. When assure q thst she was still in the slate of single biessedness the farmer inquired aD. xionsiy fl he could speak to her. The usher led the way to the back of the stage where they met Dr. Shaw as she was leaving the platform.
 The farmer introduced himself as John Frisbie, a farmer from north of Mechanicsville. He said he had been widower for eighteen years and had a farm of hundred acres with nice house and many barns. He said he ''neyer heered a prettier speech, you kotched them fellers out there every time"
 Dr. Shaw was much amused but her interest turned to astonishment when the old chap went on to say that be was lonely, that he could give her a good home and an easy time and he thought he would just ask her if she could find 1t in her heart to marry him, they both being so old and alone.
 Dr. Shaw smiled and bowed with ceremony, for once her sense of humor deserted her and she failed to notice how funny the whole situation was.
 "Sir, you honor me, she said "I am sorry but am so used to being un- easy don't much notice 1t. My pur- pose In the world Is to make things easier and better for thousands of women and girls who are bearing the heaviest burdens In this country. I don't want wedding ring, want 8 yote.u
 The farmers face fell, for the mo- ment he looked the picture of chagrin and disappointment. Then he nodded "well, that's right, too, he said "and l reckon you'll forgive me if spoke too quick. You be old and l be old and alone in the worldn-then he chuckled as he added, tan you did ketch them fellers.n
 When shown the story the ladies who were in charge of the campaign in Putnam were greatly surprised. They said they did not believe it was true and intimated that il was reporters yarn. They left conyersing as to the probability of how angry Dr. Shaw would be and how she would take 1t when she read the article.
