 It was in the dusk of summer eve- ming. The stars were brightly shining, and the breezes were brisldy blowing. Not that there was anything remarkable about that, for it's no more than they are expected to do. It is as natural for the stars to brightly shine, and the breezes to briskly blow, as it for any thing to do anything that is natural for it to do. If the stars had been briskly blowing, and the breezes brightly shin 1 ing, it would have been not only remarkable but absurd-even ridicu- lous. Or if the stars had been briskly shining, and the breezes brightly blow ing, it would have been nothing less than preposterous. In fact they couldn't do it. It would be uIireason- able to expect it of them. There is reason in all things, almost always. And this is only one of them. Or, more strictly speaking, two of them the stars and the breezes, one of each, or two for five. (Note how closely related are mathematics and astronomy Thus one science leads almost imper- ceptibly to another, and dovetails, into it with fit like the jacket of bologna sausage.) It was in the dusk of summer evening-the same dusk and the same evening referred to above; but by this time the blows were not brightling so shiny, and the biscuits were no longer starring so breezy. 1 Which goes to show that even in Nature, when the clements, in their respective spheres, sometimes called hemispheres for short, though us a mat ter of fact they seldom do so, owing to what is known as the centrifugal force, or the under-current of energy, which corresponds to the former, but only in some slight degree. For this reason the sexton, MT. s. Bewildered Strong, swept out the club-room early and had to wait for the members to arrive. When all had entered who wished, Mr. Strong announced that there would be no meeting that evening, as there were many more than quorum present, and he declared the proceedings postponed until next April. Whereupon the president, Messrs. E. V. Nestel., who was unable to be present, declared the meeting open for business and ordered gentleman with chin whiskers, who had come in with MT. Creevey, to read the minutes of the next meeting, after which Jerome Root sang and daRced the Opening Ode, accompanied by Train Dispatcher Vic. Coe, on his block signal. Then the regular order was taken up.
 MT. Judge Whittlesey got up and made motion that vote of thanks be extended to the Water Company for putting in four-inch mains on Granite Avenue, but that the gratitude be tempered with an admonition to be a little less vehement in the shooting of the rocks that cucumber the right-of- way. "The blasted rocks are decidedly disturbing, to say the least" said the Judge. '"Every time they letof one of them it rattles the new steel town vault and stirs up the smell in the court room to an intolerable degree"
 The motion was seconded by Watson Hardenbergh, and passed by a rising vote.
 | Mayor J. o. Roraback got up and said he would like to hear a report from the sidewalk committee.
 George w. Ford responded by report ing that so far as he and his committee had been able to ascertain, there had not been cubic centimetre of sidewalk laid in town in year.
 MT. Roraback moved that the report be accepted. And it was accepted.
 Dan Sweeney rose to inquire just where those slogan sign-boards' which the new automobile association had ill the works, were to be erected, to tell tourists what kind of town they were passing through.
 The fat member remarked, without trying to stand up, that it didn't need no slogan sign-boarls t tell nobody what sort of a town it was, if they kep' their eyes open whilst goin' through. They can see that Canaan is tn hust- lest, liveliest, most eat'prisin' an public spirited burg t be found in seven counties, with tn busy hum of industry visible t tn naked eye on every hand, thanks t our wide-awake business men. Flu 'thermore, they will hear everybody boostin' tn old town, am braggin' about its p 'gressiveness, am they won't find a knocker in its precinks. Nobody slurs tn town, am everybody gifts out am roots fir it. That's why it's boomin'."
 As nobody offered Il motion on the subject the president adjourned the meeting.
