The new Chinese army consists of a provincial corps for the northergy region—the section lying near Muk- den, in Manchuria. It is estimated that there are 70,000 in this new ar- my, comprising 70 battalions. The sol- diers wear khaki uniforms, and at a would be taken for sol- diers from Europe or America. Their queues are hidden under the caps. It is proposed to make the browa uni- forms universal, but some regiments haye uniforms almost black, although there are disappearing. The troops are strong, muscular and well built, and are being taught by picked men from the different armies of Europe. The new northern army is but the be- ginning.' There is not yet a southern army worthy of the name, and practi- cally no reserve.—Philadelphia Ledger. distance the; Advertisements first appeared in newspapers in 1652, e e e CANYOU AFFORDIT?

It is a flattering disease and the suf- ferer is filled with bright hopes of improvement. Call its own dread name—and t Eckman's Alterative, because 1t is effective in Tuberculosis. No one need doubt about it—there is pilenty of evidence from live witnesses. In- vestigate the following: 4 - Amenia, N. Y., July 9, 1909. Gentlemen: Prior to Feb, 1908, I was located in Rochester, N. Y. fering with LaGrippe, which oped into Tuberculosis. My physician ave me one month to live. I was aving terrible night sweats and mid- day ehills and losing flesh rapidly, hav- ing gone from 155 to 136 pounds. I vnug‘gfli and raised continually and be- came s0 weak that walking a few feet exhausted me. On my return home my regular physician gave me little encouragement. My father, who is a clergyman, heard of Eckman's Alter- ative and induced me to take it. Th: night sweats and chills disappeared, my cough became easier and gradually diminished and in a few days I devel- oped an appetite, the first in months. I am now in perfect health, back to 155 pounds. 1 feel certain that I owe my Iife to Eckman's Ailterative. (Signed) E. H. COW.

Professor Soddy. of the university of Glasgow recently described an ex- periment in which he observed the production of radium from uranium. Starting with three lots of pure uran- ium nitrate he studied the growth of radium during two and a half to three and a half years, and found that the element radium fs produced from uranium in quantities proportional to the square of the time. The experi- ments, he believes, make it probable that, in addition to ionium, the gen- erally accepted intermediate body be- tween uranium end radfum,’ there is another radio-active substance, half of which would break down in two years. Professor Soddy, however, admits that greater refinements must be, intro- duced into_the method before the ex- istence of this substance can be re- garded as definitely proved. It has algo been possible to determine the time necessary for a given sample of fonium to decay and Professor Soddy estimates this at 10,000 years, with a margin of uncertainty not greater than 26 per cent. Persons employed in india rubber factories sometimes inhale bisulphide of carbon and suffer frightful dreams of being murdered or of falling over precipices. Opium stimulates imagi- natfon; aleohol 1in excess excites dread and suspicion; hashish, from which the word assassin was derived, produces homicidal mania. These drugs have a distinet effect upon the. moral sense. Sometimes, as from al- cohol, a coarse and stupid brutality is stimulated; or, as from morphia, a gloomy and morose temper; or, as frem cocaine, why the manner remains gentle, the victim develops thieving and lying habit The Prince Obeyed. “What's the good of being a royal- ty?” asks a correspondent from Inns- bruck in a Vienna paper, “if a waitress can order you out of the house? This happened to Albert, crown prince of Belgium, a few days ago. On his au- tomobile trip through Tyrel he had a breakdown at a point where no mechanical help could be obtained. He walked in the driving rain several miles to Trient, and, on reaching the place, went to the hotel and entered the dining room, for he was hungry as well as thoroughly drenched. The waitress, not knowing him, ordered the guest out of the room, with the information that only such men could dine there who wore ‘salon’ dress— evening clothes. The prince walked away and took fefuge in the railway dining room, where no one objected to the style of his dress.” - Light in Springfield. The “Welcome to Springfield” sign, which was ¢to flash out an electric glad hand to people’ who approached our up-river neighbor at night, and which was - ordered Dby ,jthe city government, isn’t going to be erected. If the scheme hasn't been altogether abandoned it has been postponed. The municipal authorities have decided that it would be better to provide more lights for Main street.—Hartford Times.

The observance commenced on Sunday with services of a special nature; on Monday evening the real reunion and love feast of returned pastors and members with the present pastor and members was held. At 7 o'clock a ban- quet was served in the church, with a large number present, among them the district superintendent, Rev. J. H. Newland of Norwich, and other cler- gymen, some of whom formerly minis- tered to the people of Attawaugan. Clarence H. Truesdale, agent of the Attawaugan company, was the itoast- master and the following responded to toast: Mrs. Thankful Kingsbury of Ballouville, whose father was large- ly instrumental in the formation of the church; Rev. John O. Dodge of Norwich, Attawaugan in 1875; Frank L. Bennett, Ballouville, Our Church; Rev. John Pierce, Fall River, The City Pastorate; Rev. John Thompson, Gales Ferry, Salt Air; Rev. J. H.

On the eve of the close of the open season on partridge, quail. woodcock, and other game birds it is learned that game wardens and special game pro- tectors have been spending considera- ble time in Danielson and vicinity of late in an endeavor to learn whether there have been violations of the game laws diring the present season. This section is regarded by these sleuths as suspicious territory, but to dat and with the season closing tomorrow there have been no arrests for hunting contrary to law. To Substitute Meter System. An inspector representing the Crys- tal Water company has been going the rounds of Danielson the past few days, picking up information about the usés to which the company’s service is being put. It is understood that some services that have been paid for on a contract basis are to be put on a me- ter system. This applies especially to manufacturing plants and to other places that use more than the average quantity of water. The inspection by the water company's representative has also included business blocks. Acting Visitor Paine to Speak. James M.

The annual meetings of the school board association have resulted in most important legislation, which has affected every school board and every school in the state. In view of this fact it is being urged that it becomes the duty of every town to see that its school interests are represented at these meetings, and every school board is being urged to send at least one member this year. On Fr vening’ there is' to be a social meeting at the Hotel Winthrop, for which an informal programme will be arranged in conjunction with the Superintendents’ association. John W.

Rivers Coated ‘with Ice. The local rivers were covered with a thin coating of ice for the first time this season on Sunday morning. . The rapid rise in temperature during the, day, however,” melted the ice quickly and visions of the beginning of an ice crop disappeared.

As a writer and an editor, by his own performances and by his gener- ous and constant emcouragement of other authors, Richard Watson Gélder deserved well of the world of lettery. And he was mueh more than a paet. He stood in no charmed isolatien, a mere dreamer and a seeker of beauty, aloof from the business and untouched by the interests of the masses of men. He was a patriot and a servant of the community all his active life, just as much as when he shouidered a gun in 1863. What he brought about as - ident of the tenement-house cémmis- sion is in itself a sufficient #tlé to lasting public gratitude; and in many other ways he labored with a cartain modest efficiency characteristic of him for the good of the city. He was a demoerat of a type not now too com- mon, a close friend of Grover Cleye- land; and one of the last of his vari- ous services has been his portrait of that rugged and powerful ‘character. —New York Sun.
