NaturVs Methods.

Natures methods. We say. ore blind hapha3ard; the wind blows where it iBteth, and the seeds fall where the winds and waters carry them: the frosts blight ti1is section and spare not: the rains flood the country in the west and the drouth burns up vegetation in the east. And yet we survive and prosper. Nature averages up well. We see nothing like purpose or will in her total scheme Of things. yet Inside her hit.and miss methods, her storms and tofnadoes and earthquakes and dis- tempers. we see a fundamental bene- faction. If It is not good will. it amounts to the same thing. Our fa- liners saw special providences, but we see only unchangeable laws. Nature has no hte. nor architeetufR no music
 Her temples, as the poets tell us. are | the woods, her hArps the branches of the trees, her minstrels the birds and | insects. her gardens the fields and way sides--ali safe comparisons for pur- poses of literature, but not for pur- | poses of seisnce.--John Burroughs, in the Atlantic Monthly.

 complaint has been made to the Will limantic police by Peter Genteck, of Card street, which is just over the city line in the town of Lebanon. Genteck claims he was robbed of $50 and a railroad ticket while at the local railroad station. Ac- cording to his story he and his daugh- ter, Helen, came to this city Thursday morning and his daughter went with him to the station to purchase the ticket. She held the pocketbook and after re- ceiving change for the bills which she handed the ticket seller, she returned the pocketbook to her father. Genteck got on the 10.30 New York express and every thing went well until the conductor ap- preached him for his ticket, this hap pening in Columbia Genteck then no- ticed his loss The train was stopped and he returned to thls city and went to the railroad station but could not dhd his money. Thinking his daughter might have forgotten to. give him the pocketbook he returned home Evident ly the person who took the money has given Willimantic a wide berth since Thursday morning, but the police are looking into the matter
