The most destructive starfish scourge in the history of the Connecticut oyster industry isvnow in progress. Mammoth swarms of the pest gather and extend a mile or more seaward. At Stamford the damage is particularly great and the entire crop is threatened. The boatmen are working night and day and one boat alone has a record of rais- ing 10 tons of starfish daily. The loss to the Stamford oystermen is estimated at $50,000 and the total loss thus far is thought to be $100,000.

It is said the leading lock makers of the country have combined to regulate the prices of locks in general, but more particularly trunk locks, on which it is claimed prices have been ruinously low during the past two or three years- The manufacturers in the combination. who have organized under the name of the American Trunk Iiock Association, are the Corbin Cabinet Lock Company, of New Britain, Conn , the Eagle Lock Company, of Terryville, Conn., the Star Lock Works, of Philadelphia; the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Com- pany, of Stamford, Conn., and Shrend & Son,‘ of Newark, N. J. All of the firms, except the Yale & Towne Com- pany, were in a combination formed in 1891, and which was dissolved in 1893. With the advent of the new association prices have been advanced! from 25 to 30 per cent. and there is every prospect of a further advance.

One- day my grandfather brought home a new horse, one that he had ta- ken in some trade; hitched with a halter to the back of a wagon, he was, ;when he entered his new home, be- ‘cause, forsooth, my grandfather had not.been able" to mount him‘to ride him home, says a. contributor to the Philadelphia “Inquirer.” “That’s a fine lookout,” said my grandmother, as she stood on the long porch at the back of the house and heard this account of things, “and you say he’s dangerous in harness, too—I admire your bargain, John.” “Well, it was this brute or nothing on that debt, and he’s a fine fellow if he wasn’t so ill-tempered. Come here and look him over yourself, Emmy," so said my grandfather to my grand- mother, for one was as good a judge of rhorseflesh as the other, and that is say- ing a good deal for both. ‘All this time the new horse stood or pranced listlessly, while a negro boy held his halter. “Take care, ole miss,” cried the boy, when the lady stepped up to the big gray brute; but ‘she did- n’t notice the warning. She took hold of the horse’s head and drew it toward her and looked in his eyes. Now, here is as curious a part of the story as any, and it is absolutely true; she and “Jake,” as he was already named, na- turally surveyed each other, and they did it to such a good purpose that she said after a moment to the negro boy: “Tom, do get my saddle and bring it here,” then, to her husband: “Now, don’t say a word ; I know what I am doing. See!” and she picked up the horse’s feet, opened his mouth, took every liberty with him, while he acted as if she were Mary and he the lamb. She put the saddle on him with her own hands, then led him to the porch steps, sprang into the saddle and rode around the yard, J ake stepping as carefully as if he had a load of eggs on his back. ' Well, he was a lady’s horse with a vengeance from that time forth, for no one but my grandmother ever mounted him. No one else could! but between those two the ties that had been formed when they first looked in each other’s eyes, continued down to the day of Jake’s death, years after. No better understanding ever existed in the whole romantic field of friendships between horses and riders. The lady was not then young. She was already a grandmother (though not mine), and one of her frequent rides was to a married daughter’s five miles away, and do you want to know how she amused herself on thnthti'ip? She used him to a gallop, draw out her knitting and so, knitting and riding, progress to her journey’s end. There you have one little bit of pure history about a woman of ye olden time way down in Tennessee. ' Need of Intelligence in an Operator. A. M. Pierce, one of the oldest As- sociated Press operators in the city, tells an interesting story to illustrate how important a place the operator upon the railway lines occupies, even the operators in the small and lonely stations, where no train stops except it. is flagged. . “People who travel on the cars,” he said. “have no idea what close shaves the trains have every day. When I first began work for the railways I was located at a little station twelve miles from Batavia, called Byron. Eight miles east of Byron was the station of Bergen. This was on the New York Central. It happened that just beyond Byron there was a high hill; it was difficult for trains to mount, and they sometimes had to wait there for another train to come along and help them over the hill. One night I received a telegraph message from the operator at Bergen that, as the train was passing, he noticed from the sound that one of the wheels on one of the cars was in bad shape. He suggested that I stop the'train. “Acting upon his suggestion, I put out my flag and stopped the train. The ingineer was pretty sulky, and the con- ductor got off and wanted to know what‘in hades I had stopped them for. I told them .the message I had re- ceived. They cursed some and started out to look for the broken wheel. ter going over that hill, with the possi- bility of plunging the train off the track and rolling it down the precipice. As it happened, the conductor had his wife and child aboard, too. lVell, we looked down one side of the train, and we looked down the other without suc- cess. But in looking down one of the sides we had a bad light, I went down again. and found a quarter of one of the wheels broken. "Well. sir, when the conductor came up and saw that wheef'lie picked me up in his arms. and I believe if I had been. :1 little younger, he would have kissed me. he was so glad. I speak of it as illustrating how important the operator may become to the railway.— Detroit-Netvs Tribune. Ink on Tickers. In every stock and news ticker is a little steel type-wheel, from which the imprints are made. It is a costly piece of work, and when the ticker was first introduced the company controlling them was embarrassed to find that the ink used had such a. use the wheel was worthless. of experiment, one of the steel wheels was placed in a bath of ink. In 24 hours it had disappeared entirely. An operator who has since become a. re- porter set to work and patented an ink which is now used in all tickers. By its‘use the life of a type-wheel is prolonged to nine years.

It Cuts Diamonds. ‘ It has always been supposed that all the substances that would prove of sufficient hardness to be used in carv- ing diamonds, had been discovered, but a French scientist, M. Moissan, has found a new compound which is in— finitely more hard than the diamond, than anything which has previously been heard of. , I The new discovery is called boron carbide. It is jet black, and resem- bles zeophite to a considerable extent.| It is not found anywhere, and nature does not make this combination un¥ aided. It is brought about by heating boric acid and carbon in an electric furnace. Its cheapness has caused it to find favor already among the jewel- ers of Europe, and one of two speci- mens of the new compound have reached New York.

Then the girl showed Signs of returning consciousness and her condition ,changed for the better and she became convalescent.
