According to the monthly bulletin of the State Board of Health there were twenty-six deaths in N orwalk last month, of which number seven were under five years of age. The causes as- signed are, diarrhoea 4; consumption,2; pneumonia, 1', bronchitis, 1; nervous diseases, 3; heart disease, 2; acciden- tal, 2; all other diseases, 11. The re- port includes 29 births in July and but nine marriages. The report goes to show that Norwalk is a healthy and growing town of something over 22,000 inhabitants. A bold, bad burglar invaded the little house of bridge tender William Har- ford on the Consolidated railroad bridge over the Norwalk river at about 3 o’clock this morning. Entrance was gained by breaking open a window while the. night men were out attending to their duties on the bridge and along the tracks. After breaking open the window, the burglar pried open a desk and closet, in fact he ransacked the entire interior. In the desk he turned over the pa- pers and mixed them, up generally. A large box lay in one corner of the desk and the visitor opened this but failed to find anything of value inside. Underneath the box, however, was a roll of bank notes amounting to $113 which the bridge tender had received from the road’s on his regular visit to Norwalk, and which the burglar failed to discover owing to his neglecting to raise the box. Failing to find any cash, the visitor exchanged his old clothing and hat for Harford’s best black trousers. spring overcoat and Alpine Hat. He also car- ried away a cap, probably to wear at night while travelling in a Pullman. The clothing left behind had evident- -y been worn by a tramp, as the pock- ets contained pieces of stale bread and a small bag of coffee. As soon as the rbbbery was discover- ed and reported to the police, Chief Vollmer telephoned to all the nearby towns in hopes of catching the thief, but as he is now parading in a hand- some suit of the latest style it is prob» able that he will escape recognition. Yesterday mor hing, John F. Kenned- of Br idgepo;t, called at the police headquarters in South Norwalk with a tile of woe, which he recit ed to Chief Vollmer. He claimed that his wife had desert- ed him and was living in an unlawful manner with John Gessler on Second avenue, East Norwalk. He- said that his wife deserted him about two years ago and that he had ' this . ~ white hearse, also with six milk-white been unable to lOcate her until week when he learned that she was liv- ing in East Norwalk under the guise of Mrs. Gessler.

Kennedy says that he will have her placed under arrest eVen if it takes months to locate her. He says that she secures employment as a domestic and is liable to drift back to Water- bury orl Bridgeport where she has been previously employed. The Chief is not inclined to believe that Kennedy really wants to prosecute his wife, but that it is same old story of forgiveness and a hope that she will again live with him. It is not thought that Mrs. Kennedy cares to return to her liede. lord and that she will do her best to keep out- side of the clutches of the law, and reach of he r husband. ‘A‘ ‘v EAST N ORWALK. T.

Samuel Simon, Sr., a well known resident of Neshannock Township, while strolling near his home one day recently, noticed a fly about half an inch long and of a dark blue color, with a slim body, bearing a. large dead spi~ der, says the New Castle, (Pa.) Demo- crat. The fly crossed his path and laid his load down. It then went about eighteen inches in another direction and commenced digging a hole in the ground. His curiosity being excited, he stopped and watched the work. Af- ter the fly had the hole dug about half the length of himself he went to where he had left the spider and took his di- mensions. After going back to the hole he found it was not big enough, and commenced digging again. Afmr taking out a quantity of earth he again went to the spider and took his di- mensions. He did this eight times, and as often enlarged the hole. When the busy little fellow had the hole too deep for him to throw the earth clear out he would go on the bank and force it back with his feet. After he had the excavation large enough for his pur- prse, he went for the spider and took it to the grave, for such it proved to Le, and dragged it to the mouth of the hole. After he had 'the body in he covered it with fine earth first and finished by placing a small piece of cinder on top. When he had finished the work he flew away. The whole time consumed was exactly fifty-five minutes, as Mr. Simon says he sat and watched the whole performance. AN OSTENTATIOUS FU N ERAL. Grandson or a.

I. REUNITED TWIN DIAMONDS. Famous Throughout Europe and India. They Find Each Other in America. Diamond dealers the world over are speculating as to the identity of a mys- tdi‘ious personage of unlimited means who. has recently purchased of a Pari- sian diamond dealer two of the most famous gems in existence, a pair of diamonds so nearly alike in appearance that they have become known to col- lectors and dealers as the “Indian Twins." The wealthy individual who has just become possessed of them is lieved to be Mrs. William Astor. A jeweler would describe "Twins” as a pair Of old Indian dia- monds, cut in cushion shape, weighing eight and a half carats each, and of a remarkable pale blue color. Their tint is far deeper than steel blue, and much lighter than the blue of the celebrated ‘ “Hope” diamond. ‘The twins are so full of fire that many a pure white dia- mond is pale by contrast. So absolute- ly perfect are the gems that the slight- est flaw cannot be discovered by the aid of the most powerful magnifying glass. Their combined weight is seventeen carats, which is divided exactly be- tween the two. They are alike beauti— fully proportioned, and the peculiar shade of blue is precisely the same in each. So perfect is their correspon- dence that experts do not doubt that they were originally one stone, which was divided for some reason, probably because the original-shape was such that, while susceptible of division, it could not be cut to advantage as a sin‘ gle stone without great loss in weight. The first record of the “Indian Twins” places them in the possession of Warren Hastings, at the time he was governor of India. Next they came into the possession of a Russian nobleman, who was afterward exiled. As expatriated noblemen have to eat and drink like ordinary mortals, the Russian found himself under the pain- the " I l ,3 Sim...— Headache and disordered stomach, there is but one reliable remedy, and that is 50c. and 51.

The quarries from which the an- cients obtained their highly- -p1i'/.ed Thessalian or verd marble have been discovered, and are again being worked by an English company. The quarries,'whlch have been lost for more than 1,000 years, are in the neighborhood of Larissa, in Thessaly, Greece. The ancient workings are very extensive, there being no fewer than ten quarries, each producing a somewhat different description of ma r- ble, proving without a doubt that ev- ery variety of this marble found in the ruined palaces and churches -,,f Home and Constantinople, and like- wise in all the mosques and museums of the world, came originally from these quarries. In fact, the very quar- ?y from which the famous monoliths of St. Sophia. Constantinople, were ob- tained can be identified with absolute certainty by the matrices from which they were extracted. In modern times verd antico marble has only been obtainable by the (le- ful necessity of parting with his dia—- ~t1uct1on of some ancient work, and it monds. They parted from each other, and for a long time only one of the gems was known to diamond dealers. The lone twin, ’after many wanderings, fell at last into the possession of the Duke of Brunswick, whose agents searched the. world for the lost twin, but were un« able to find any trace of it, althOugh the price offered for its recovery was a tremendous one. Finally, the Duke was gathered to his fathers, and 11's fine collection of diamonds was sold, the “Indian Twin" coming to America. The final chapter of the story is told by Mr. E. August Nereisheimer, of New York city, vice president of the Theos- ophical Society of America. “I had the diamond in my posses- ‘aas, natuially, commanded extraordi- narily high prices. As a consequence, a number of ordinary modern greens of Greek, French, Italian and Ameri- can origin have been described and sold as verd antique marble. No one, however, who is really acquainted with the distinctive chaiacter of the genuine material could be deceived by these , infeilor unrbles. Thessalinn green is easily distinguished from any other green marble by the following characteristics: It is a “breccia” of an- gular fragments of light and daik green, with pure statuary white, the whole being cemented together with a biighter green, while the snow white patches usually have their edges tinted off with a delicate fibrous green, radi- siting to the center of the white. The sion, ” said Mr Ne. eishe1mer “and my - cementing material is also of the same agents were looking for its mi sing rel- I fibrous structure. -—Philadelphia Rec- ative, although we had little hope of l 11rd. finding it. This was about twenty years ago. A news paper at that time recorded the story of the strange find ing of the long lost gem. One of the agents who had been for so long en- gaged in the search for the ‘Twin’ that it had become a. mechanical habit for him to study the jewelry on 'men and women whom he met, was surprised al- most out of his wits one day when, seated in a. Chicago saloon, he saw a Western man enter in whose shirt bosom blazed the identical ‘Twin’ the whereabouts of which had been for so 1mg sought. “He lost no time in negotiating for and securing the diamond, which'was forwarded to me. The united ‘Twins‘ were valued at $125,000.——New York Herald. MILLIONS IN PRUNES. Magnitude of One of California's Indus- tries but Little Realized. The magnitude of the prune indus- try of California, writes a Los An- geles correspondent of the Chicago Record, is little realized by the people in the Eastern States. In a decade the growing of prunes has gone for- ward in California by leaps and bounds, and to-day $20,000,000 is in— vested in it—that is, in lands, trees, irrigatibn systems, agricultural tools and packing houses. Ten years ago the total area of hear- ing prune orchards in California was less than 7,000 acres. In 1888 there were 11,000 acres of bearing .prune trees and about 6,000 acres more of young prune orchards. There was an import duty of two and one-half cents a pound on dried prunes in those days, and the growers sold their crops on the trees for sums varying from $35 to $50 a ton. In 1890 the total area of bearing prune orchards was 13,000 acres, and there was an enormous planting of prune trees that year in all of the fruit growing valleys of Cali- fornia, beCause of the large profit in the industry. Twelve thousand acres of prune -orchards were set out in the winter of 1890-91, and 24,000 acres more were planted in the next two years. These orchards have now come into bearing, and the State Board of Horticulture finds that there are 53, 000 acres of bearing prune orchards in California to-day and about 8,000 acres more to come into bearing. Conserva- tive estimates put the total crop of California prunes in a favorable year at not less than 90,000 tons. In a few years more a full yield of the fruit in this State will be more than 110, 000 tons of green fruit, -—New York Her- ald. Mutual Admiratlon Society.

'ol' Examinations.‘ ' The promotion examination, says W. G. Shearer in the Atlantic, is a test of memory rather than of power. It may show some things that the pupil does not know, but it cannot Show What the pupil does know; it destroys and prevents broad and intelligent teaching, makes of the teacher a grind, and turns out pupils by machin- ery. It fonces pupils to go over far more work than they can map or un- derstand, and it causes many to leave school. It brings senseless worry to the nervous, who often fall to pass, while the less worthy succeed. It is, moreover, a great temptation to de- ceit. It demands one-third more time than is necessary to impart the same knowledge and to give better training. It puts a premium not upon the work done day by day during the year, but upon the amount of “stuffing" that can be done at the end of the term.

They Do Much Toward Milking or Blar- ring a Woman's Social Sum-en's. I feel sorry for the woman whose hus- band is 1a sort of social millstone around her neck. Wherever she goes. whoever she meets, whatever the charm of her own personality, the dis- agreeable mannerisms of this bus band are sure to prove a drawback to her happiness. Sometimes, studying— the married couples at a hotel, I have maryeled to, see so many refined, sensitive women mated to perfect boots of men, What possible affinity of thought or fancy could account for their union? What strange caprice of fate could have" brought together natures so little in sympathy? Was there ever a time when the loud-voiced, snarling man was a tender, thoughtful lover, or the cowed woman, wincing under his ,dis- courtesies a cherished sweetheart whose lightest Wish was sacred? I often wonder why the woman whols saddled with a. churlish, uncivil hus- band should ever leave the blessed privacy of her own home. Surely she cannot extract any pleasure traveling around with a. man whose captions- n-ess and lack of consideration serve as a perpetual soul scourge for her in public. It seems to me. if I were tied to a man whose chivalry and courtesy had vanished with the honeymoon I would house him and his tempers as closely as I could and seldom let the world get a peep at them. Assuredly the most delightful environments would have small charm for me if I were continu- ally keyed up, as so many women me, in anticipation of some husbandly out- ‘ b1 Bah Not long ago my neighbors at a ho- tcl table were an uncongenial pair- . the wife a delicate little creature, who , seemed to sit uneasily upon the edge 'l of her chair, while she cast furtive glances at her moodish mate; the husband, a man who offered all his pol- ish and ~zood nature to strangers, and gave the husks to his wife. How that poor little woman’s diges- tion must have suffered from the at- mospliezc in which she took her three meals! There was always a stoun brooding. The ugliest traits of hei husband's character seemed to crop out at the table. Although he was scrupulously polite to strangers, he never lost an opportunity of snubbing his wife. She bore it very patiently, very mcekly, with a resignation which proved that it had become a part of her daily life. I I wish every husband could realize how much his mental and moral. sta' - inn. is gauged by his manner toward his .wife. may devote to. outsiders goes for naught once they catch the surly an- swer, the pettish retort. the number- less small discourtesies directed. to the woman who should receive the best and most chivalrous of his attentions. People may be inclined to guy the attitude of the newly made benedlct toward his bride, but no man or wom- an yet ever felt anything but admira- tion for‘the husband who late in mar— ried life gives to his wife that tender :ollcitude, deference and gallantry which mark the gentleman as well as the lover.—-Phi1adelph.ia Enquiie-r.
