April IS, 1887. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Bills have been submitted to the legislature to institute in Connecti- cut savings bank life insurance system, by Representative Charles L. Johnson, of Sherman, Conn, and Senator Walter P. Barrett, of Bridgeport. A hearing has been as- signed for Tuesday, April 20.
 Mir. Justice Brandeis of the United States supreme court conceived this system and through his tireless ef- forts and great ability 1t was insti- tuted in Massachusetts about thirty years ago, as an aid for working people to overcome the evils of the industrial life insurance system. Enclosed is a copy of a speech by Governor Ely of Massachusetts, which in actuality is 8 report of the successful operation of this system covering a period of twenty-seven years to 1884.
 Between 40 per cent and 50 per cent of the residents of Connecticut have one or more of these industrial life insurance policies on which they are paying about $2O,OO0OOO an- nually. By using the factor of 1-s applied to the various savings re- ferred to by Governor Ely we car get some conception of the poSsi-

Selected Poem
IN MUSING MOOD CClare MacDermott in the Poets Corner, Hartford TimeS.)

Like ghost clad in white pale sycamore marches; On the hill to the right some slender young
 larcheS; There's an armful of haws to be had for the taking While the blades on the bank are most eerily quak-
 ing; redbird fits by-has her shining mate called her? And swings back and forth on some low-hfting
 alder Each bulrush is kin-so, at least one supposes- To those forming the couch of that fair baby
 Moses; These bright flecks the pool which blue shadows
 are dimming, May be just the soft knees of some Undine in
 swimming; There are mists on the oak trees that ftfully
 glimmer, And the reeds by the lakeside now simmer and
 Shimmer With the sunlight upon them-I wonder-I wonder If the goatsfeet of Pan are in hiding thereunder

| Blackie'S Broken
Leg Healed With
Help of Harness
By Horace Mitchell.


WHEN a dog breaks his leg, it is q
serious situation. Mighty few
people, it seems. know just what to do
for him, and their only way of help
ing him out Of his pain is to kill him.
During the last few weeks, though,
I've been seeing an old Newfoundland
dog "a corking, handsome fellow, as
are most Newfoundlands-h his
leg bone knit together in great shape.
He lives on a farm just outside Of
town. One day the family all went
away and left Blackie to guard the
premises. When the folks returned,
there were fresh tire tracks in the
yard and there was the dog, limping
about on three legs and yelping every
now and then with pain.
His left hind leg had been broken.
Pearl Short, who owns him, figured
that somebody had driven into the
yard and the dog had come up to
inspect the visitor and got in the
way Of the car. Either accidentally
or on purpose, the car had hit him.
But there was no time to figure
out all that just then. Pearl (hes a
man, by the way, and mighty grand
man, too) wanted to help the dog
right away, quick" No veterinary
was nearby, so Pearl had to do it
himself.
He got some straight, clean boards
for splints and broke them off cleanly
at the proper length. Then he rigged
a harness Of stout cloth over the dog s
back. so that it held the leg up of the

"X.Ray Eyes" Is
Name of Battling
Bit of C0njuring
By Thomas the MAGICIAN.

BY Thomas the Magician.
FOR several years mental feat en-.
titled "Eyeless Vision" has caused
no little wonderment in the minds OF
the worlds most famous psychologists,
eye specialists and magicians.
In this effect Of supermentality the
performers eyes are first covered with
pads of cotton, then taped with strips
OF adhesive tape, and finally blind
folded with several layers Of heavy
velvet cloth. However, though deprived
Of his sight in this extraordinary way,
the magician can recognize any OBJ
ject placed on his outstretched palm
merely by passing his fingertips with
in a few inches Of the article.
Today I'm going to describe an ef-
feet that is also quite mystifying, and
while it is not performed by the same
method. it is similar. in that it is en-
titled "X-Ray Eyes" and the idea Of
looking through solid object" is ex-
pressed.
Effect-The performer removes a
pack OF ordinary cards from a case.
zone Of the cardboard Variety
Holding the case behind his back. he
asks some one in the audience to take
the pack, select a card, and then in
sert it in the case which the magician
is holding behind his back. closing the
flap of the case in order that the card
be entirely concealed.
The magician now places the card
case to his forehead and Immediately
names the selected card, which is then
removed from the case and identified.
Explanation-To perform this mys-
terious mental feat, small hole Is
cut in the lower right-hand corner OF
the back of the pasteboard case When
1t is placed behind the magician he
holds the back Of the case facing his
back. Thus, when the card is put
into the case by the spectator he will
not see the hole.
Now, just before the case Is placed
to the forehead. the finger is moved
to one side and glimpse is caught
of the index corner of the card inside
the case A trial will convince you
that this effect is worth working as .
mental masterpiece.
