I dlacovered this by patient waiting
nee. when quite a amall child. ., Hiding
quietly at the edge of tha pond-where
my beloved ohoruaera dlaported them
aevee, I watched until after aunaet to
catoli a glimpse of these mysterious lit
tie rreaturea and waa amply rewarded
for my effort. There were aeveral In
eight, but one had attached to a tiny
branch of a high buah that overhung
the water, and vocalising with all hit
tiny might, aeemed to be tha leader of
the nrcheatra. '
How delightedly I watched htm. He
looked for all tho world like one of
Palmer Cox's brownlea In pink tights,
and the tremendous ' expansion of hla
throat with every exultant note waa a
joy to behold and a Joy to remember,
'a a
If you have not taken time to listen
to and love theaa whistling heralda of
the-spring, do ao and you have added a
almple but very genuine pleasure to
your Ufa,
. But a beloved older alater told ma a
atory that added to tha tntereat of theae
little vocalists, and from her I learned
to oaU them Hylaaea." ...
, ..... .e a .-. '
V One of the many delightful atorlea of
Greek mythology relates that when Ja
aon started en the Argonautle expedition.-
he was accompanied by Heroalea,
or Herculsa. as ha Is commonly called,
and by tha boy, Hylaa, a great favorite
'of the mighty Hercules.' .
, Hylas, ao rune the atory. -was tha aon
f Theodamas, king of tha Dryopea and
the nymph Menodlce.
All went well- with tha expedition un
til they reached Myela, where Hercules
disembarked to cut a fresh oar.
- Tha boy Hylaa followed him to draw
water from tha fountain, or as aomo
writers have It, to hatha In tha stream
Boamander.
The selfish nymphs, attracted by his
wonderful beauty, drew him down from
the aweet air and sunshine of the green
earth to live with them In the watery
palaces Of the deep and ha waa seen no
more.
When Hereulea returned to the ahlp
and missed tha boy, he would not em
bark, but with hla sister's son, Polyphe
mus, remained behind to aearch for
. Hylas. .
- Tha search was fruitless, but be did
not leave Myata until he had taken
hostages from tha Hyslslana and made
them promise to produce tha boy, dead
or alive,
After that,-the Inhabitants of CU.s.
founded by Polyphemus, afterwards
railed' Pruslaa, continually Bought for
Hylaa and eaorlflced to him every year
at tha fountain, thrice calling hla name.
The unhappy Hylaa, homesick for the
land. but. held a prlaoner by tha eelfleb
nymphs, waa not permitted to anawer to
tha yearning call, and so out of pity for
hlm the "peepers' every apiing alnce hla
disappearance bava never once failed to
sing of bla sorrow, and of hla love for
the. green earth from which ha waa ao
rroalir taken, and because of their de
votion to the lad beloved of tho mighty
Hercutoa, they have earned the right to
bear hie name,, so when next you hear
this musfo from the ponda or tha little
-pools, remember It la tha vote of. Hylaa
railing, calling to tha mighty Hereulea.
and tho sunny skies and warm green
earth he la never mora to see. .
' This story appealed to ' Tom Moore,
who rhymed the Bad" atory, and to Bay.
ard Taylor, who has among hla poems
one entitled "Hylas." I should Ilka to
gtva It all. it la ao beautiful. The pic
ture of the boy la umiauaU Inasmuch aa
poets usually expend their eloquence
upon feminine beauty. On can under
stand how Hereulea the strong muatJ
have loved thla beautiful youth and
how hla great heart melted and became
weak Ilka m woman'a when tie returned
to the Argps and pissed thla tjreaaura
of hla love. J - . - V

A Millionaire Wife.
In a amall Ne England town Is lo
cated the largeat malleable Iron plant In
tha world. .
Thla town has one, poaalble mora than
one. .millionaire. . But tha one who haa
used hla money, a large portion of It, in
practical lmprovementa for the town, la
the millionaire worth considering.
He has Improved and beautified tha
roads. Long before Carnegie started out
an hi library eruaade this town re
joiced In a amall but beautifully designed
and equipped library, the gift of this
wlaely rich man. - A parish house waa
added to one of the churches of tha
place, largely through hla liberality, and
then a new high achool building.
If all millionaires were like thla one
there would be far leaa prejudloa agalnat
them. ,' ....
a e - , -
But perhaps If all' millionaires had
auch a wife as thla one they would be
more Ilka thla one. She Is a true gentle
woman, quiet, unobtrusive, with refined
tastes and In every way fitted to nil the
position to which her husband's promi
nence ana wealth entitle her. I much
misdoubt me. however. If aha knowa
how to amoka or drink or play bridge
whist. Never mind. Wa will overlook
thoae little fallings far tha other tblnga
she does do and do so well. .. ( . .
They have a large and elegant house
with fine grounds on the main residence

great cities that would ao gladly wel

Particularly la aha Interested In tha
young woman of tha town and many a

her roof not patronlslngly and conde
scendingly but aa her friend.' 'Among
others I know of two nice girls daugh
ters or a poor widow and themselves
employed In a printing office, that have
been gueats of thla millionaire's wife. ,
It la Impossible to measure the Influ
ence for good, for social pleasure and
uplift exercised by thla in very truth
gentlewoman. If you -cllrab the hilly roada for sev
eral miles to the1 west of tha town you
will come to a lake, ; cool, clear, large,

I never think of thla old-fashioned

like tier and without a feeling of actual
affection or her.
She la a "aoclety Woman". In tha true
sense of tha word, for aha comprehends
that society without work Is vicious;
that work without society is hard and
degrading.

THE BOOK SHELF
Novel Readers.
From the South Horwalk Sentinel.
Not long since a gathering of young
people were discussing the books, pa
pers, magaslnes, etc., that make up our
literature. Said one young fellow :
"Well, I only read the race track and
tha prise fighting column. The Vest of
a paper la for women, and asTar aa
book reading la concerned, I donl thktk
there la one man out of ten who reads
a book." t
It's too bad that young man conflnea
hla reading to the . department he
quoted. There are thousands of men,
however, who read books, and no more
pleasurable or profitable relaxation can
be found. The following clipping on
reading la aelf-explanatory and goea to
show that one ahould read, and try to
read profitably:

Sweet peas should be planted In April
If poaalble. My method la this: . I
make a V-shaped trench about five
inches deep. In this I sow the seed
thickly. It ought not to Ve more than
one Inch apart. I cover with about an
Inch of Boll, pressing It down firmly
with the foot , When the young planta
are about two Inchea high, I draw In an
Inch of soil about them, and I keep on
doing thla from time to time, until all
tha aoll taken from the .trench haa re
turned to W.
"Early planting la advisable because
it enablea tha planta -to make rapt
growth before hot weather comes and
deep planting haa been proved desirable
because It gets the roots well down into
the soil where they will bo cool and
molat when summer heat prevaila.

I hope you are going to plant the

of being extremely easy to grow, it

The following from a book by Wftllam
Wsrd, entitled "'Early Bt-hoola of
Naugatuck" (Connecticut) are of inter
eet to all who are curloua to know how
small, and Inoonalderable were the be
ginnings vefour (resent elaborate pub
Iln school.jystera. , These extracts ara
taken from s review of the book In the
Dally News of that flourishing borough:
The first -arhoolhouse mentioned In
any recorda as standing In the limits of
Naugatuck, .was the echoolliouae men
tioned In the warning aet out by Samuel
Lewis, Esq., to' the householders living
within the lines of the society of Salem.
I copy In part: ,
. "Purauant to the act passed. In cor-
poratlng tha Salem Ecrlealastlcal aoclety
Samuel Lewis. Esq., Sent out Citation
to Site all - Householders living within
the Limits of the- society of Salem, to
meet at . the Schoolhouae on the flrat
Monday of June, 17 7S, which Sltation
was Duly Served and returned, and the
Society met according to the Warning,
upon the first Monday of June, 17 7 1,"
eta. -
So it appears that our early aet tiers
were mindful - of - the Importance . of
educating their children,- for they had
provided a achoolhouse more than -nine
years before they erected their place for
worahlp. When this achoolhouse was
built ta unknown. .
- Tha,. larger schoolhouses- had three
windows on tho aide. The one in which
tha writer attended school about 1S14
was built bout 1111: it had three win
dows on the south aide, and four on the
north. This schoolhouae was first a
plain oblong bouse, but after 1SS4 an
entry waa added having besides the
door one window. The , structure was
generally-Ja one-atory building) rough
ly elapboarded and more likely paint
waa lacking both outside and In. Some
times - the chimney waa built ' In the
oenter and - often at t heend, I have
met some old people that remember a
schoolbouse with a - chlnmney in each
end, each chimney having a large fire
place. 1 Tha schoolroom waa lathed and
plastered. Against tho wall on three
aides of the room waa built a eontlnu
ous ahelf about three feet from tha
floor; long . backless benches accom
panied It on which the oldeat scholars
sat facing the wall; when they wrote
or ciphered they rested their booka ana
slates on It While they were study.
Ing they faced the center of the school
room and leaned their backa agalnat tha
edge of the ahelf trying to feel com
fortable. The small children were
seated within the ' three-aided square
formed by thoae of tha larger scholara
and on seats made from alaba, tha
rounded part down. The -slabs had each
four supports consisting of straddling
wooden legs Bet Into augur holes. The
backless benches they occupied were
generally far too high for them leaving
their feet dangling in midair. , It was
hard for them; no wonder jyiey spent
most of the time "busy" keeping stllL
Juat inside next the entrance was the
maatar'a desk or table, usually a table
In the early daya but later a desk1 con
trived by the carpenter, set on a alight
platform, Bealdea aervlng the' purpose
of a desk It waa a repository for con
fiscated tope; balls, penknlvea, marbles,
Jewsharpa, whistles, etc
It la believed that the ecnoolhousea
built In what is now Naugatuck be
fore 100 all had large fireplaces. Those
later generally were heated by a Frank
lin and atlll later by a box etove.
I don't think that we. In Connecticut,
ever bad In our echoelhouaee a whip
ping post as was tha case In the town
of Sunderland, Massachusetts, they hav
ing a post aet in the floor about five
feet high.
Children have always been' prone to
scribbling. A fair surface of paper no
matter where- found, was a temptation
and tha fingera,. at tlmea, muat be em
ployed, either in writing or whittling.
The flrat thing the youthful owner of a
book was likely to do, was to mark -It
with hla name. He might put hla sig
nature on the front fly leaf, or write
It on the last one, or almost anywhere
else In the book. : In a geography of
1(01 It written:
"If thla book should chance to roam
Box Its ears and Bend It home."
Or again:
"Steal not thla book, for If you do.
Tom Harrla will be. after you.'
Steal not this book for fear of strife.
The owner carries a. big Jackknlfe."
I copy one more:
"If there should be another flood
Than to thla book I'd fly.
If all the earth ahould be aubmerged
Thla book would still ba dry.'' -.

The Problem of Pain." .
,"So careful of the type aha awems.
. So careless of tha single life."
80 wrote Tennyson out of the sorrow
of his hesrt becauae one beloved friend
had been taken from him taken In the
flower of hla manhood and with auruiy
fields of uaafulness before him only
waiting to be . reaped by his able and
wining naods.
StHI, no less than then, nature seems
so careless of the single life and of
thouaends of alngle lives, and some of
us look on and ahudder In eympathy as
we think of tha tremendous aggregate
of human suffering and perhaps smile
scornfully at the Idea of a God of love
or at the thought of any God at all. The
problem of pain la atlll unsolved. -

Others find 00m fort in thinking that
Justice la quite another thing from love
and - that when thouaande are -over-
I whelmed In aoma awful catastrophe like
the Ban Franctaco quake and nre tt la a
Judgment of God for sine committed.
Even that, laeka something necessary
to appeal wholly to the mind, and sattafy
It, and is dismissed.
.But we-are at" liberty to offer any so
lution that appeala to us 'of a problem
apparently r insoluble, and. by and by
some on will arrive at tha right one.

Here at leaat Is reason for reserving
Judgment; here la the reason for keep
ing, even In the fact of terrible ctrcum-
atantlal evidence to the contrary, our
faith that it la a good world; that the

We are - all under . this law and

Such a couple lately celebrated their

and his muscles would soon fall. Physi
cal strenffUi is derived from- food. If a
man baa Insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has ao.food he dies. Food Is con
verted Into nutrition through the stem
ach and bowels. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten ia digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and Its associate organs at. digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach fo really tha vital nr.
Sao of the body. If the stomach Is -weak
ie body will be weak also, because tt Is
upon the stomach the body relies for tti
