WILTON! ‘ _
The Rev.,Mr. Thompson will be installs
today. The exercises ot the morning will
be devoted to the examination of the candi—
date and the afternoon to the installation ser-
vices. We understand that the Revs. Dav—
enport of Bridgeport, Hubbell of Daubury,
Willard of Colcliestcr, and Buckingham of
Springfield will be present and take part in
the exercises which will, therefore, be of
great interest.
A concert for the benefit of the Sunday
school of the Congregational church will be
given on Monday evening next. This prom-
ises to be an excellent entertainment, and
as Miss Samuel Marvin has been the‘ inspiring
genius throughout we may look for a com—
plete success. '

A Some of the schools have closed, partly
because they commenced so early, and partly
because the town made so small an appro-
priation fortheirisupport. It is an unwise
policy and poor economy for the town to
scrimp the schools. It would be far better
to curtail expenses in other directions. It i
also unwise to have short winter schools.
because there is a class of boys, whdse only
opportunity for schooling is after Thhnksgiv-

The death last week, in Bridgeport, of
Charles Fox is announced. Deceased was
once an active business man here and was
noted for astuteness and drollery. He would
go many point§ out of his way for the sake
of perpetrating a joke, but occasionally was
brought up with a round turn. On one oc—
casion a committee of citizens was appointed
to ask subscriptions to defray the expense
of celebrating Fourth of July. Money came
in slowly at first and. on asking Mr. Fox,who
did not believe a sufficient sum could be rais:
ed, that gentleman Szlld he would give four
times as much as Uncle Daniel Nash—the
richest man in town. When informed of
the circumstances by the committee, Uncle
Daniel, to the surprise of everybody put five
dollars opposite his name. Fox acknowl—
edged he was sold, and reluctantly, but
gracefully as possible, paid over his twenty
dollars. Mr. Fox was foreman of the Sang—
atuck Fire Company when its horizontal
operating brakes were thought to be the best.

deceased, who weighed over'200 pounds and

While strolling along the streets of Indian-
apolis the other day, our reporter in a dusty,
cobwebby window, saw a piece of cardboard
four or five inches square, on which was
written, “pure skunk oil and econ oil.” A
moth-eaten, weather-beaten 'coon skin hung
above the door, which the reporter entered.
“What do people buy skunk oil for." said
the proprietor in his answer, repeating the
question. “Why they buy it for rheumatism,
and, I say, it never fails to cure.” The re-
porter desired to see some purs skunk oil,
having heard there were many worthless im-
itations abroad, and was shown a pint flask
of an oily liquid of the color of linseed oil.
The fluid had no more and no worse odor
than lard oil. “We sell to all sorts of peo-
ple, white, black, and yellow, the richest and
the poorest,” the proprietor continued.
“This oil we get from the skins—that’s as
much skunk as I get—and the yield is usu-
ally about four ounces to the skin. Some-
times we get half a pint, and sometimes,
though seldom, as much as a pint,to the pelt.
There’s no more than one skin in a thousand
that'll yield a pint of oil. The -uninial- is

all. A skunk will have from three to seven
young at a litter—usually about five. I’ve
been a fur buyer for forty-two years, and
there are more skunks now in this state than
ever. There is a prejudice against the ani-
mal, which makes it necessary to sell the
fur to ladies who wear it under several pretty
aliases, among which are ‘Fltch’land ‘Ameri-

“Describing Points"—Useful Play.
A habit Of observing closely is important.
It is at. only exceedingly useful in many
ways, but it adds immensely to the enjoy—
ment of living. One may travel a mile or a
hundred of them, Or work a day or month
in the field, and see little if anything of in-
terest. Another, going over the same journey
or work, will see points of interest at every
step. The habit of careful, close observation
should be developed and cultivated in child-
hood and youth. This can be helped by a
sort of competing game, as good as any
other, and more useful than most “plays.”
Let the players, two or more, select some
person or thing, and each try to describe as
many characteristics as possible, the one
giving the greatest number to be the winner.
If a person be chosen as the object, tell
hight, probable weight ‘and age; form of
body; color-of-cyes, and whether prominent
or deep sunken; shape of nose, chin, mouth,
lips, teeth, ears; color of hair, and whether
coarse and stifl, or fine and soft, straight or
curly; form of neck, large or small, short or
long; and so on of other personal Character—
istics; the clothing, color, cut, appropriate—
ness or otherwise; conduct. conversation,
peculiarities, etc., etc. In the game score
one mark for each item added to the descrip-
tiou to any player. Take the same course
with animals, trees, plants, houses, imple-
ments, etc.,'etc. ' .
A teacher sends us a printed description,
that would fill this column, of a 'swiudler
that had'imposed upon him. Here are some
of the items: . , , , “About 45 years old; hight
about 5 feet 6 inches; smooth black hair; a
tooth missing from the lower left jaw;
lantern-jawed when speaking. . . .Slovenly
dressed ;_ dark suit; blue-black VCcht_VeSt;
black silk neckerchief, tied in a large double
bow with flowingwends; carries eye-glasses,
to be used or not...._..easy in conversation;
talk: as if deeply versed in constitutional
law, and in all political questions"...,..Mauy
more “points” are stated, showing this
teacher to be a close observer of human na-
ture. .
Criminals are almost daily found out be-
cause of the ability of some person to mi-
nutely observe and describe every one they
happen to set their eyes upon. To some this
is quite natural. It will readily become sec-
ond nature if any one begins. to cultivate the
habit in youth. As above stated, the habit
is of far wider usefulness than in merely
detecting criminals. Let our young readers
play “Describing Points,” with all sorts of
subjects for practice—American Agricultur-

House-keeping Schools.
1 hear that the cooking schools already
established in some of the principal cities,
are being enlarged in their scope, so as to
teach all of the branches of house—keeping.
These schools are especially designed to fit
young girls for domestic service. The Uni-
versity of Iowa deserves much praise for its
efforts to make accomplished house-keepers
of its lady grarhratcs. This is all well, and
gives hope that the 'noble arts of the house-
wife, the cook, the laundress, the chamber-
maid, may all rise in dignity and respect as
they improve in thoroughness and adaptation
to'human needs. I should like, to put my
daughters through a course of lessons in
domestic art under the best of teachers. I
suppose they would then know how to cook
everything properly. But I do not suppose,
as do some of the editors who write pretty
paragraphs on this subject, should those
same daughters of ours come to have. two or
three small children clinging to their gowns,
and no hired help here in the West, for love
or money, that each dish, and a variety of
dishes too, will come to every meal, each one
“done to a turn.” Neither do I believe that
.all the instruction given in cleaning and
scrubbing will make it easyS—I may say 1703-
sible—for a farmer's wife to keep her floors
clean when, as is sometimes the case, there
is no gran about the house, and no good,
clean walks of boards, cr gravel, or cement.
Especially is this so if a plenty of soft water
is not easily obtained—American Agricultu-
rial for February.

A Sound Palace.
The Boston Herald says Capt. Gardner,
the superintendent of the Norwich line, gave
the following information concerning the
company’s new iron steamer, the City of
Worcester, now being furnished by the Har-
lan d5 Hollingsworth company of Wilmington,
Del. : She will have the largest freight capac-
ity of any sound boat. All that money can
do to finish and furnish her in thc most ele—
gant manner will be done. lIcr passenger
carrying capacity will be 500. There will
be 12 large staterooms with bedsteads in-
stead of berths, and 163 ordinary staterooms.
Her lower or main deck cabin will be finish-
cd in hard wood. The stateroom ball will
also be finished in hard wood, and, with the
pilastcrs and corniccs, will be in Queen Anne
style. There will be a double tier Of state—
rooms forward. Mcals will be furnished in
the forward part of the stateroom hall which
will be much pleasanter than catiug below
the main deck, as is the present custom, cs—
pccially in the hot summer days. Special
precautions have been taken in building the
vessel to provide all the safeguards against
loss Of life of passengers by fire or water.
As a protection from the former, licr boilers
and engines are all encased in iron, and all
ventilators to them are of iron, and run to the
hurricane deck, making it absolutely impos-
sible for fire to be communicated from the
boilers to the woodwork in case of an acci-
dent. There will be two sets of pumps
situated in different parts of the steamer.
It will be almost an impossibility. for her to
sink, as the six iron, water-tight bulkheads
which she has are so constructed that, in case
of accident from collision, any two of them
may be stove in and filled with "water, and
yet the remaining four will easily keep her
afloat. She will, in addition to this, have all
the appliances for life-saving. The follow-
ing are her principal dimensions :-—Leugth of
deck, 840 feet; breadth of beam, 40 fee};
breadth over all, 80 feet; depth of hold, 16
feet 4 inches ; diameter of cylinder, 90 inches;
length of stroke, 12 feet; diameter of wheel,
38 feet ; face of wheel, 11 feet; horsepower,
2,500. She will use the electric light at night.
Her coat will be upward of $500,000. Ilcr
building was commenced last September, and
her launch will take place withiu‘a few days.

detected witliip half an hour after the sun
has set. Venus will be working eastward,
nearer and nearer to Jupiter, until the 21st

Tlie Landlords’ Black List.
The landlords’ association of Hartford has
about 200 members, who represent about
2,000 tenements. The association has a
printed “blackdist” containing the names of
some 500 tenants, including those who do not
pay their rents, those who leave tenements
without properly notifying the owner, those
who maliciously damage properly, and those
who habitually have trouble with their neigh-
bors. The plan has been found to work
well, many tenants being muchmore willing
to pay, in order to have their names removed
from the list than because the money is just.
ly (luc. Care is taken to keep from the list
names of worthy poor who fail to pay their
rent simply because such payment is impos-
sible. In speaking of the association the
Times says; g‘Whrn the house hunting
time comes again it is reasonable to suppose
that 500 spotted ones will have to scratch
round lively to find places to live in. With
them it will not be so much a question
whether they suit. The man who pays his
rent promptly may have his pick, while the
black sheep goes skirmishing around anxious
to take anything he can get.”

How to Succeed.
A gentleman who had risen tO great wealth
was very poor when he was a boy. When
asked how he had obtained his fortune, he
replied : “My father taught me never to play
till my work was finished. and never to spend
money till I had earned it. If I had but half
an hour‘s work to doiu a day, 1 must do that
the first thing, and in the half hour. ‘And
after that I was allowed to play; I could
then play with much more pleasure than if I
had the thought of an unfinished task before
my mind. I had thus early formed the habit
of doing everything in its turn, and it soon
became perfectly easy to do so. It is to this
habit I owe my pIOSperily.”

Money Well Bestowed and Used.
Rev. W. P. Paxson. Superintendent; at the
Southwestfor the American Sunday School
Union, in a recent address at Boston. stated
that Mr. Olivcr Bennett, now living in Mas -
sachusetts, formerly of St. Louis, had given
$1.000 a year for twenty years, for the sup-
port of Sunday School missionaries in the
West.‘ and that this money had organized
3,290 schools, with more than 140,000 schol—
ars—New York Observer.
.p—O:
The steady improvement of values in real
crease of prosperity, is now making itself
felt in the raising of rents as well as of sell-
lug prices both for houses and lots. An
article in our local columns shows that. the
average increase in house rents is from ten
to fifteen per cent. The inc'rease in business,
rents. especially in the crowded section sur-
rounding the Stock Exchange, is much
greater. The average advance there seems
to have been about fifty per cent., while in
some of the more desirable situations the
rents have actually been doubled—New
York Tribune. ‘ '
