A Fearful Monkey.

There is a species of very small mon key found in the Brazilian forests which is remarkable for its gentleness, the delicate elegance of its appearance and its almost human conduct. Bound ing from branch to branch or from tree to tree, it has every appearance of a bird. When hanging from a tree asleep it looks like a black doll. Its dark, soft eyes are very large, its coat is like black velvet trimmed with satin and dotted with gray beads.
 'T have seen him weep" said Hum boldt, "and I avow that the samairi is like a child in every feature. He has the same innocent expression, the same bright, intelligent smile, the same child like way of passing swiftly from joy to orrow."-Harper's.

The overruIino of a Judqs.

A judge once awoKe in the night to find his room in the possession of two armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the judge watched the proceedings with his usual judicial calm. One of the depredators found watch. Don't take that" the judge said. "It has little value and is a keepsake" "The motion is over ruled" replied the burglar. "I appeal" :" rejoined the judge. The two burglars consulted, and the spokesman then re- piled: "The appeal is allowed. The case coming on before a full tribunal of the supreme court, that body is of the unanimous opinion that the decree of the loweYcourt should be sustained, and it is accordingly so ordered" Pock- eting the watch, court adjourned.

Swallows N ests.

Swallows and house martins build by sticking together pellets of prepared road mud. Most of the material is ob- tained from the drying puddles on the high roads. If not mixed with any thing else the tendency of these pei lets would be to crumble when dry. But the swallow tribe is supplied with a mucous secretion which enables 1t to gum the particles together.

Heat Is Quick to
Affect the BolDels
WelI-KnOwn Fact that Extreme
Heat Conduces to Chronic
Consultation.

constipation.
So many people are in the
habit of eating cold food In hot
weather that constipation is very
common during summer. 1t is
best to vary the food and have
some hot things, as, for example,
soups and hot fish and meats,
if that is to be the diet. Iced
water should be drunk spar
ingly.
In spite of all care people will
become constipated, and If you
find yourself in that condition
you can get immediate relief by
the use of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. There is no time of the
year when you should be more
careful of constipation than in
the summer, for many of the seri-
Gus illnesses as we'll as the fatali-
ties result from a clogging up of
the bowels. You also need gen.
eral good health to withstand the
heat, and hence Syrup Pepsin is
best to take because 1t contains
tonic ingredients that help to
build up the entire system.
Numerous users throughout the
land will verify these facts, among
them Mr.. George c. Allen, 40S N.
Main ST., Reading, Mass, who re-
covered his health completely aft
err using only two bottles; and

Complete plans for Memorial day are expected to be announced at the meet ing of Sedgwick post. No. 1. G. A. R., at the Buckinham Memorial on Fri day evening. The big day for the G. A R. veterans will be two weeks from that date,
 The preliminary details have already been provided for by the appointment of committees. Sedgwick post once having $50 members, has now only be- tween 90 and 100 names on the roll, and each year this number grows less.
 The programme this year is to have the Sons of Veterans and the two ar tilery companies turn out as usual, but thus far but one of the companies has accepted the invitation of the post to participate in the parade How ever it is believed that. provided the companies should go to Jewett City to attend the dedication of the monument there, they could return in time to take part in the exercises here, It is understood the parade could be delay ed half an hour for this purpose if de- sired.

CELEsTlNO SIERRA GOES
 TO STATES PRISON From One to Three Years For Norwich Man Who Shot His Brother.

Celestino Serra, charged with as sault with intent to kill his brother Charles in Norwich on Feb. Is, was found guilty in the superior court late Wednesday afternoon. The jury re- turned with the verdict of guilty af- ter short deliberation. A sentence of not more than three or less than one year was imposed by Judge Case.
 Told of Black Hander.
 In the criminal superior court at New London Wednesday morning the accused said he shot to save his brother from a member of the Black Hand society and that the bullet gO- ing astray hit his brother in the face. Charles Serra and his wife testified along the same line.
 States Attorney Hadlai A. Hull branded the story as a cOncoction and accused Mrs. Serra of making the story up along with her husband to save the accused.
 The testimony in the trial was fin ished in the morning al 11.30. Attor- ney Thomas Shields of Norwich, coun- sel for Serra. made his argument and in the afternoon States Attorney Hull made the argument for the state.
 Testimony of the Accused.
 The accused was on the stand but a few minutes. He said that he was at his brothers house Feb. IS, being boarder there and that a stranger came in and saluted Charles Serra and engaged in conversation with the brothers. Then witness said, this stranger turned toward Charles Serra and demanded $30 and threatened Ser "a with a long knife. The accused .a,id he feared for his brothers safety so he ran up stairs and got 8 pistol ~. 5 T E,a +1- stranger, whom he thought was going to kill his brother, and fired, the bullet striking the accuseds brother in the face.
 Then, witness said. he went out to catch the stranger, who had run away but he couldn't find trace of him and he returned to the house with his brother and the police coming soon arrested him.
 Cross Examination.
 States Attorney Huh gave Serra a searching cross examination. He ask ed Serra how it was this elaborate story about the stranger and the knife had not been told before. He asked if 1t was not true that the accused had meant to shoot Charley and not the stranger and if ii was not so that the two brothers had quarreled and that the accused was helping the stranger instead of Charley. Serra denied all these charges.
 Major Hull asked Serra why he had waited before chasing the stranger if he really wanted to catch him and Serra replied that he tainted for the moment when he saw his brothers bloody face and could not run.
 Serra insisted he did not know who the stranger was, had never seen him before or since.
 Charles Serra and Mrs. Charles Ser ra told practically the same story Mrs Serra testified through interpreter An thonY Garufy.
 Just hefore she left the stand. Major Hull said to her, Isn't it true that you and your husband made up this story to save CeIestine 9"
 Through the interpreter, Mrs. Serra replied. No that's just the way it goes
 Just before the state rested Chief Linton of the Norwich police was call ed to testify that at the time of the arrest he heard nothing said about this Black Hander with the long knife.
