WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:
That East Norwalk’s ear is close to
the ground to hear the rumble of the
horse car along East avenue.
That those who were fortunate
enough to hear 'Miss Grace Mallard
read at Mrs. C. F. Osborne’s Wednes-
day afternoOn, received certainly a
deep abiding and impressive conviction
of the practical active life of religion
as regards men and women.
That Mrs. Day, of East avenue,
whose deft fingers are always busy on
some labor of love, is just now em-
ployed on ecclesiastical embroidery.
of needlework.
That the bunch of orchids presented
class, on her birthday, was a graceful
remembrance to a beautiful woman.
That three hundred and sixty-five
dollar a year will not begin to keep a
woman in the refinements of scent,
books, sweets, cosmetics and sundries
for the toilet and toilette.
That among the requisites for a
woman’s toilet are the following:
Almond bath bag, odors for the hand—
kerchief, sandal wood toilet water,
lavender salts, Russian aromatic vine—
gar, scented soap, cold cream for the
face, strawberry cream for the hands
and honey paste for the lips, rum tonic
for the hair, rose paste for the finger
nails, pearl powder for the face and
teeth pastilles for the senses, and trays,
boxes and bottles of silver, porcelain
and cut glass to hold them, besides
mittens, sponges and brushes for the
bath.
That if we were judged by one
another no sinner would ever reach
heaven, and it would go hard even with
the saints.
That a cheerful philosophy‘ is rather
to be chosen than great riches,aand its
cultivation is the surest receipt for con-
tentment.

A gentleman of some means from the
interior of this state, now visiting a
friend in this town, having become de-
sirous of living near the salt, salt sea,
and enjoying the products thereof and
the water craft thereon, consisting of
steamers and sailing craft, not forget-
ting the Captain’s vapor novelty, asked
his friend if he knew of any light busi—
ness that he could engage in that would
keep him busy most of the time and
pay a fair profit. His friend, being
one that reads the daily papers with
the “happy father” items therein, gave
a prompt and suggestive answer by
saying: “Yes, I do ;move down here,
hire a store and stock up with baby
carriages ; they will sell like hot
cakes.”

sH E GOT ’1']! E $10.
A saloon keeper on Railroad avenue
in Bridgeport, who has been selling liq-
uor on Sundays, thinks he has been
cleverly “,swindlec ” out of $10. He
had a book account with a laboring
man, who willingly-paid his bill of $10,
Saturday night. This deficit of $10 in
the man’s pay envelope he accounted
for to his wife by saying that the ,sa-
loon keeper drew the $10 at the office
before he saw his week’s wages. Then
the wife sent her little girl on Sunday
afternoon after some whisky. Uponthe
child’s return the woman secreted the
bottle and walked into the saloon by
the back door, and made the saloon
keeper return the $10 under threat of
arrest for Sunday selling.

On the southern confines of this sub-

beautiful oases which gladden the eye
and delight the heart of the traveler on
the road to Jordan, via \Vest Norwalk,

the wilderness of Step Rock Road. We
refer to the lovely home of William
J oyce, the successful grower of those
fragrant English violets which are the
admiration of all who have seen them.
In addition to these Mr. J oyee has a
fine lot of early lettuce under glass,
which will soon be ready for market.
Many borough people know of and
have visited this cosy, nook, and have
carried away pleasant memories and
some of the choice products of Mr.
J oyce’s hands. '

Burke was repeatedly knocked down

no effect upon Prichard, who was as

yesterday just what some woman or
other is doing every day—locked her
children into the house while she went
out on an errand. The children did
exactly what other children do under
such circumstances——promptly set the
house afire. The difference between
this case and most other cases, how-
ever, lies in the fact that neighbors dis-
covered the fire and it was extinguished

BEEVET ADIEICIUANS.
The New York Times of recent date
contained the following naturalization
incident which points a suggestive
moral without, however, aiming a
deadly thrust at any particular nation-
ality: .
The grotesque ignorance of our lan~
guage, laws, and institutions shown by
many applicants for naturalization of
various nationalities, is amusing in a
sense, but when we consider the sure
consequences it is rather a dismal joke.
In our news columns is described the
case of a would—be citizen, between
whom and the judge of the court of
common pleas the following colloquy
took place: Judge: “Who makes
the laws?” Applicant: “The Sinnit.”
Judge : “The Senate and what ‘9” Ap-
plicant: “Yes, sir; yes, sir; the Sinnit
and wat.” And the applicant got his
papers. We do not know exactly what
the remedy is for such outrages as
these under the present law. It would
do little good for any one judge to re-
solve to act carefully and honestly in
such cases, beyond saving his self-re-
spect, because the applicants would be
But the remedy
really lies with Congress, which, under
the Constitution (art. 1, sec. 1, par. 4,)
has the power "to establish an uniform
rule of naturalization,” and to vest its
application in such courts as may be
deemed best. But so long as both par-
ties in various parts of the country
share in the abuses of the present sys-
tem they are not likely to be reformed.

COLLEGE BOA. T RJL'E.
Just at present there is every pros-
pect that the much-talked-ofYale-Har-
vard freshman boat race is going to be
rowed. The Harvard freshmen have
challenged the Columbia freshmen and
the latter have accepted. The Yale
freshmen have challenged the Harvard
freshmen and the latter have accepted
provided that cColumbia will agree to
make the race a three-cornered one
between Yale, Harvard and Columbia.
The Yale freshmen have therefore
challenged the Columbia freshmen, and
if the latter accept, which in all proba-
bility they will, the race will be rowed
during the last week of June.
For several years the managers of
the Yale navy have been trying to ar-
range a freshman race with Harvard,
but the latter has always refused Yale’s
challenge, and apparently without any
good reasons. Yale has always been
eager for such a race and this year, as
usual, is doing everything in her power
to bring it about.
The last triangular race between
Yale, Harvard and Columbia was rowed
at New London, in 1886, when the Yale
freshmen were swamped and had to
abandon their boat at the end of the
first half mile. Since then the Yale and
Harvard freshmen have never met on
the water.

at 3 p. m. This arrangement will per-
mit both trains to begin running regu-

When the trains now running are
