Paul Davick of Seymour Park, New
Britain, suffered painful injury to
hand this morning about Z O'Clock
when he received a cut to the bone
from a circular saw at the Olmstead-
Thompson Co., Kensington.
Mr.. Davick was saving a large
piece of wood and was bearing heav-
lily upon it. The saw teeth suddenly
hit through the wood, with the result
that Mr.. Davick's hand was caught,
the teeth of the saw penetrating
through the palm to the bone.
He was taken to the New Britain
general hospital, where his wound was
attended to by DR.. H. NJ. Griswold.
Dr., Griswold stated this morning that
the wound is serious, but not danger

One Casualty Reported
Berlin came the nearest yesterday
to having a safe and sane fourth that
it has in many years, only one acct
dent having been reported. This ac-
cident was to Albert Biggs, colored,
of Berlin.
Biggs was firing a revolver loaded
with blank cartridges. One of the car
tridges exploded, severely burning his
right hand. DIR. A. J. Goodwin at
tended to the injury.
There was little noise in town yes
terday, due probably to the weather
which dampened the spirits of many.
There were numerous visitors in town
and several family reunions A large
number of people went away
Traffic on the turnpike was heavy.
Special traffic officers were on hand
to direct cars and the state police
were kept busy dashing along the line,
keeping cars from cutting in on each
other and making the road SAFE for
travellers.
Slight Accident on Pike
A Star automobile from Hartford
was involved in a crash with another
automobile yesterday afternoon on
the turnpike in front of the town hall.
The Star had it's windshield broken
and the tenders badly damaged.
The driver of the car claims that he
was going north on the pike and the
other car backed out of the driveway

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
The requirements of good concrete
and the making and placing of plain
concrete according to the best prac-
tice, is discussed in Farmers Bulletin
1879, "Plain Concrete for Farm
USE" by L. A. Millef, agricultural
engineer, just issued by the United
States ! Department of Agriculture.
The bulletin treats also of quality, pro-
portions and quantities of material re-
quired, forms, mixing, placing, curing,
expansion joints, surface finish, lintels,
concrete exposed to fire, and water
tight concrete.
Rarely can a farm be found on
which concrete Is not used for some pur-
pose such as foundations, walks,
floors, walls, springs and wells, fence
pests, silos, dams, septic tanks, and
water and feeding troughs. Generally
something is known as to the mixing
of concrete, but 1t is not always that
a concrete of the desired quality Is Sc
cured, or If secured, that it has been
done in the most economical way. A
concrete Of great strength is uneco-
nomical If weaker mixture will
serve and cheap or weak concrete is
costly if 1t does not fulfill all require
ments.
The cost of concrete depends not
only upon the price of the materials
and labor, but also upon the judicious
use of the two. Lack of foresight in
locating the mixing plant, in the de-
sign of forms and in planning the sue
cessive operations may cause unneces-
sary expense, while neglect of any one
of the precautions which should be OBJ
served is likely to result in unsatis-
factory work.

ROMANS BELIEVED IN 0MENS
All Kinds of "signs," Good and Bad,
Had Direct Influence on Their
Actions.

The ancient Romans were great be-
lievers in signs and seldom cared to
undertake an enterprise without con-
sulting them. Some persons looked at
birds flying overhead. Others cut up
animals, to see what "signs" were in
side. Perhaps most interesting of all
was the custom of keeping certain
chickens and calling them sacred. If
some one wanted TO know If a plan
would succeed, he tried to feed the
chickens. If they ate heartily, it was
a good sign. If they refused to eat,
the plan was probably given up. When
a Roman died, food and drink were
placed beside his body in the tomb.
Animals were sacrificed, and milk or
wine was thrown on the ground. This
was repeated every year. If the rela-
tives forgot, the soul was supposed to
become evil and to bring bad luck
Animals were sacrificed in honor of
the gods, as well as for the spirits OF
men. Pigs, oxen and sheep were the
creatures most often killed. Flour
and salt were sprinkled over each ami
NAL, it's head was covered with cloths
and then the priest raised a large
knife or an ak for the death-dealinG
blow. Prayers were said by those
looking on. The bones and fat were
placed on the altar and burned.

VoLGA VILLAGE IN AMERICA
New York Community Might in Effect
Have Been Transported Bodily
Into This Country.

Except for it's one telephone wire
and two automobiles, Little York, N.
Y, might be a VOlga peasant village
transplanted bodily from Russia to the
United States.
1t has neither gas nor electricity;
neither bathtubs nor sewers; no water
supply except a spring.
In fact, Little York isn't even on
the map or in the post Office guide
None the less it is a place to know
about, if not to live in, writes Eula
McClary in the New York World.
1t is a village of pistachiO and chOc-
olate eclair houses, sheltering so peas
ant families with a total population
of 500. Modern inventions are lux.
uries beyond the purse of most of
the inhabitants, and the desire Of the
rest.
Covering less than a square mile of
fertile meadow and farm land, Little
York lies at the foot of Mount Adam
and Mount Eve, beautiful hills of the
lower Catskills.
The inhabitants, Russian-German
Lutherans from the Volga river valley,
are descendants of those who followed
Catherine II from Prussia into Russia
when the German princess became the
wife Of the future czar.
They have brought with them to Lit
tie York the traditions and Gus
toms as well as the language and
religion of their ancestors. Unlike
American farmers, the peasants live
in communities and work their individ-
ual plots of land. The village Is sit
uated on the hillside and OverIOoks the
fertile meadow land, divided into vari
Ous-sized 'farms," according to the
affiuence of the owner. The largest
farm has ten acres and the smallest
one.
