Did Curtis Spring Joker?

While Alderman Jester had ms gavel in mid-air, about to declare the meeting adjournd, Councilman Cur tis again took the floor and asked the corporation counsel about the home rule bill. He remarked that when it was passed two years ago the people thought that they would be given the right to settle questions for them selves without recourse to the legis- lature and he expressed the opinion that every change suggested, except the city court matter, could be decided here under the home rule bill.
 Corporation Counsel Cooper ex- plained that there is a strong possi- bility that the committee on cities and boroughs will send back to this city the amendments with instructions to use the home rule bill. Councilman Curtis then asked why 1t was not bet ter to act on them here. Alderman Paonessa asked if it is not possible that the legislature might "legislate some things we don't know about" as happened two years ago.
 Representative Hall explained that it had been decided to send the amendments to the legislature to avoid the expense of local election. New Britain uses the voting machine and most voters pull the first two levers at a general election and leave the booth. To vote on the amendments would mean that almost every reg istering column of the machine be used and MT. Hall thinks many people would neglect to do it. It requires majority vote to pass an amend ment under the home rule bill.
 Councilman Curtis moved that the amendments be sent to the legislature

Elephants' Fear of Mice.

The reason why one tiny mouse Il
capable of soaring whole herd Of ele.
plants half to death is found In the
fact that In the elephants native land
there are little animals known as cha
canas, which feed on a small, sour Der
ry of which elephants are very fond.
They live in settlements, something
after the manner of prairie dogs, under
the berry bushes. and sometimes when
feeding the elephants trample upon the
little towns, and the chacanas in their
fright frequently run up the tubes Of
the elephants trunks Their long,
sharp claws catch in the flesh, and they
cannot be elected. The more violently
the monster blows through its trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animal become imbedded in
the flesh, and Inflammation and death
are the result. In captivity, therefore,
the elephants think they are in danger
Of the deadly chacanas when they see
a mouse.-New York American.

fero Little From the 0esirO
% Possess.

Men do not. a. q rule, suffer very
much from the desire to possess, be.
cause they are 30 sure that they do
possess. because they find 1t SO din
cult to conceive that their wife can
6nd any other man attractive, writes
W L. George In the Atlantic Monthly.
They are too well accustomed to be-
ing courted, even II they are old and
repulsive. because they have power
and money; only they think 1t is be-
cause they are men. Beyond a Jealous
care for their wives fidelity. which I
suspect arises mainly from the feeling
that an unfaithful wife is a criticism,
they do not ask very much. But wom-
en- suffer more deeply because they
know that man has lavfshed on them
for centuries a understanding admira-
ton: that the king who lays his crown
at their feet knows that his is the
crown to give. While men possess by
right Of possession women possess
only by right Of precarious conquest.
They feel 1t very bitterly, this fugitive
empire, and their greatest tragedy is
to find themselves growing little
older, uncertain Of their power, for
they are afraid, as age comes, Of los
ing their man, while have never
heard of a husband afraid Of losing
his wife, or able to repress his sur

Some pay with broken health. others
with broken hearts; some surrender

Agriculture ID nearly a. old - man.
and since 1t began 1t is probable that
farmers have been studying out bal
anced rations for domestic animals, but
even yet few housekeepers have any
real scientific ideas on feeding the
family. Your state agricultural college
or the department Of agriculture. Wash

you should take the matter into con-
sideration In making your garden and
see to it that your vegetables include
the most nutritious and health giving
properties. Every farmer knows that
when a horse works ali day he should
receive certain feed and when he u
idle-in rainy weather, for instance-hs
gets different rations. How about Z

set your table to get the maximum ~

A Tale of Six Cities.

There are at least six cities on this
continent which every one should see.
Every one should see New York be-
cause it is the largest city In the world
and because 1t combines the magnifi-
cence, the wonder, the beauty, the sor-
didness and the shame of great me-
tropolis. Every one should see San
Francisco because it is so vivid, SO
alive, so golden. Every one should see
Washington, the clean, white splendor
Of which is like the embodiment Of a
national dream. Every one should see
the old gray granite city Of Quebec
piled on its hill above the river, like
some fortified town in France. Every
one should see the sweet and aristo-
cratic city Of Charleston, which sug-
gests a museum of tradition and early
American elegance, and Of course every
one should see New Orleans.@Julian
