A C1IAI WITH A LOCAL HOUSEMAN.
Among the fanners 111 town who take
sppi-lal Interest in raising horsea is
Frank IStoughton of Carmcl Hill, who has
seven horses on his farm. Almost every
ot her man thinks he has the best horse in
town, but Mr Stoughton possesses some
good blooded stoek. lie has two good
eolts of Quartermaster stoek, a breed
with a good reputation. A promising
yearling eolt by a son of Quartermaster,
and of a Jefferson mare, he values high
ly ; also a four-months-old eolt, out or a
Highland Duke tuare. His stoek alsoin-
eludes a live-year-old Duke mare, which
he calls one of the best horses about. Mr
IStoughton raises a few horses to sell, but
raises them primarily because he likes
horses and wouldn't farm it without
them. "When you buy 'em," said Mr
Stoughton, "Von don't always know
what you get. 1 don't know as it is go
ing to pay to raise horses in the future,
as well as it has in the past. Horse-flesh
is rather looking down. A first-class
horse will bring perhaps as good a price
as ever, but a cheap horse is cheap.
When you get a good loader weighing
from 1000 to 1200 pounds, you will have
to pay for it."

The distinction of bringing the first
milk separator into town belongs to M.
H. Doolittle, w ho, like his neighbors, Mr
Hill and Mr Stillson, has a De Lava! sep
arator. Mr Doolittle bought his separa
tor about a year ago. Mr Doolittle is en
thusiastic over the separator. He says
that he believes it increases the profit of
his dairy. Another thing it ensures uni
formity in the butter the year 'round. He
believes it improves the quality of the
butter. In line, he says he wouldn't be
without a Del.aval separator.

AT THE FALLS.
Superintendent Gilbert Williams of
the garnet works has laid off all his min
ers, seven in number, for the winter, as
the weather was too severe on the hill to
work at a profit for the company. He
has stone enough mined out and under
cover to keep the old mill running till
spring opens. Mr Williams now drives
his own team and does all the hauling
and keeps two men in the mill crushing
the stone and shipping it to East Wal
pole, Mass., where it is manufactured
Into sandpaper and emory wheels. Mr
Williams has given the new factory on the
hill a fresh coat of red paint and picked
up all the loose timber and wood, getting
every thing in good shape for winter.
He is located in bis new home just south
of the mill and is right at his work, and
we presume feels quite at home as he
owns a fine meadow on which he built
his house and barn, with stablas for three
horses, with hay overhead, wagon shed
hen house, cow stable and other build
ings to suit his taste. It looks quite like
a village from a distance.
OUT IN A BLIZZARD.
J. 1 Blaize, an extensive real estate
denier in Des Moines, Iowa., narrowly
escaped one of the severest attacks of
pneumonia while in the northern part of
that state during a recent blizzard, says
the Saturday Kevlew. Mr Blaize had
occasion to drive several miles during the
storm and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and imide
of an hour after his return he was threat
ened with a severe case of pneumonia or
lung fever. Mr Blaize sent to the near
est drug store and got a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, of which he
had often heard, and took a number of
large doses. He says the effect was won
derful and in a short time he was breath
ing quite easily, lie kept on taking the
medicine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moinesi Mr Blaize regards
his cure as simply wonderful. For sale

HUNTINGTON.
NON-RELIGIOUS TENDENCIES.
There is a very marked change in the
religious tendencies of the inhabitants in
our back towns, to any one who will
study their history carefully. On roads
running out of IIu"ntington Center for
two or three miles, 40 or 50 years ago
nearly all of the 10 or 12 familes, along
the road were regular church goers. But
gradually one efter another of these
families moved away, or died out, and
their place is vacant or occupied by for
eigners or others, who cure little or noth
ing for church or church privileges. So
that now on the average, not more than
one in three of the families could be
called regular attendants at church. In
the death of Mrs Sarah A. Nichols, an
other old homestead in the Center is left
vacant, with no relatives to occupy it
It is to be sincerely hoped that this house
and lot, which has been occupied by
Christians for a 100 years or more, may
not, like so ninny others, fall into the
hands of those who have no true inter
est in the moral or spiritual welfare of
the place. And we presume that Hunt
ington is no exception 111 this respect to
the general tendencies in these back
towns.

Charles J. Hughes, of the Stratford
granite woiks, has just erected a large
granite monument in Mountain Grove
cemetery, on the plot belonging to the
family of the late George V. Kichardson
The material is white granite and the
design entirely different from anything
before standing in the cemetery. There
are two massive bases; on the second is
cut the family names of Kichardson on
one side and Hayes on another. On
these stand a large die, highly polished
and broken by heavy mouldings and
carved wo k, the whole surmounted by a
carved dome. It stands in a prominent
position and is an ornament to the ceme
tery and a credit to the designers and
builders.

Two good trotting horses make up a
span of life.
Redman C, the pacing stallion, died
recently at Clinton, Mo.
Flora Temple, 2.19 3-4, and Goldsmith
Maid, 2.14, once queens of the trotting
turf, had three foals each.
Budd Doble thinks Arion can beat 2 04
next year, and we hope Budd will be in
shape to help him do it.
Blue Sign has entirely recovered from
the injury he received in New York, last
September, and is regularly driven.
The pacing stallion, Creole, 2.15, by
Prompter, dam Grace, by Buccaneer, has
been sold to parties in Honolulu.
Generally a community that raises
good horses shows progress and intelli
gence and will almost surely become
prosperous.
Breeding pedigrees without horses has
had its day. Very true. It is likewise
true that breeding horses without pedi
gress has also had its day.
Jack Curry declares that Alix can
equal Nancy's record of 2.04 and says he
has driven her quarters in 29 1-2 seconds
and an eighth in 13 1-2 seconds. Alix,
while at full speed, strides 21 feet.
In order to raise horses in the best pos
sible way you mu3t not only start right
but end right. If a colt once becomes
stunted or injured in any way it will rare
ly recover frorn the effects and unless
good care is taken it is comparatively
easy to stunt a colt during its first win
ter. Like George Wilkes, the stout-hearted
Director proved great on the" turf and
still greater in the stud.
.
Breeders who have the courage to wait,
will reap a harvest. The horse was nev
er more than now an idol of the public.
The New York sales show the trotting
horse market all right. The prices were
not extravagant but men can breed them
for what they brought.
The winners don't come now-a-days
from our big stables. The boy on the
farm comes along with a colt or two and
lugs off the better part of the purses.
Small breeders are procuring better
sires and many a cross-road's mongrel is
being replaced by a really well-bred
horse which will lead to the production
of more good roadsters at the present
time, quite scarce in all the breeding dis
tricts.
The smallest breeders will in -the fu
ture make the most money, says the
American Trotter. The roan who has
hut a few select mares and breeds them
to a first class stallion with natural speed
and then develops every colt carefully J
himself and trots the cream of the lot an- l"t
1, t, . ... .
nually has little to fear. He will make
money and plenty of it.

fact that of the 30 or more 2.10 pacers
only one is dead, Storm, 2 08 1-2, and of
the others nearly all of them have aF-

A MISSIONARY GATHERING.
The following report of the eeml-an-
nual convention of the Western branch
of the woman's foreign missionary soci
ety, wnich convened at Bridgeport late
in uetooer, is printed by request. Al
though late it will interest many. The
business ot the day opened at 10.30 a. m
with devotional exercises, followed by
the reading of the minutes of the last
aieeting, by Miss Richards of Birming
ham. Then came reports from the aux-
iaries. Mrs Thompson said there were
49 auxiliaries. A very large majority
were unrepresented, either by secretary,
delegate or letter. At least there was
no response. 1 think 1 am not under
stating when I say there were not more
than a dozen responses to the call tor re
ports.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
now any society can arrord to miss
the enthusiasm and refreshment which
would come to them from the conven
tion, through the unreadiness of the del'
egates. Some of the auxiliaries are do
ing good work. Mrs Thompson thought
Kirmingnam might be called the banner
society. They have 126 members, raised
2;0 last year. They have a young
ladies auxiliary, and as I heard about
them it seemed to me it might be desir
able for us to have one. I have in mind
Mrs Edwards' nice class of young ladies
The Y. L. A. fee is 81, Y. L. S.. 50e,
Light banner society for children 25c
little L. 15., lor babies 2oe. Some re
ported small attendance at monthly
meetiugs. (I'erhaps they are not as
happy in their choice of president as we
are.) In Cheshire one woman holds
every offiee,that is, represents the society,
because it seems to be impossible to get
the ladies out to meeting. Some spoke
highly of the use of mite boxes. Never
had less than $1, generally more. The
Meriden society decided to raise no
MONEY BY SALES OR SUPrERS,
but 38 members resolved to try and earn
$1 each by individual effort and augment
tneir account in that way. The rear!
street church in New Haven also give no
public entertainments, and had not raised
as much on that account. Trinity
church in New Haven also give no teas,
but are doing well. They raised f2o0,
and have about 100 members. Mrs
Thompson told us that Essex was the
first place where she organized a society,
and the first place she was in the pulpit.
then iouowed Mrs Thompson s report
as district society of Western country.
She had bad fears from the small amount
reported that they might fall behind last
year's, but there had been much work
done, and an advance of 847, over last
year. There had been $ 70 raised from
mite boxes. Mrs Thompson suggested
to us a way of raising money by holding
up to our view some blocks of white
muslin stamped with a star shaped de
sign, having a center piece to be worked
and all about were to be placed the
NAMES OF ANY AVHO
would pay 10 cent3 for the privilege
a society couia nave as many or as
few as they choose, the ladies to vote to
dispose of it as they saw fit, when
finished. The blocks can be obtained of
Mrs Keeler of 978 North avenue, Bridge
port. Mrs rveeier presented to us very
beautifully, her ideas upon this subject,
'Uur interest is in the line of our invest
ments, applying it to the missionary
phase 01 the subject, whenever we are
intending to make investments for world
ly gain, we are led to inquire if the men
wno represent tne Dusmess are men
of integrity, of sound judgement and to
be relied upon in every way. And as
we are so interested in worldly matter'
o should we be in this work of the
Master, and as we inquire we shall find
it all that could be desired, and that the
flower of our vouth have ever been de
voted to this cause, and not unworthily,
for Our Lord and Master was himself
the pioneer missionary, coming from
ALL THE GLORY OF HEAVEN
to this sin cursed world to endure shame
and death that we might have life. Mrs
Bissell then read a paper "Echoes from
the branch annual meeting." The after
noon exercises opened witn a prayer
service. Mrs Thompson then introduced
Miss Carr, who had been much in Aia
and had helped the missionaries, be
ing there at a time when they needed
help. Her home is in Warren, R. I.
She opened her address with a quotation
from Ecclesiastes, "So I returned and
considered all the oppressions that are
done under the sun, and behold the tears
of such as were oppressed, and they had
no comforter, and on the side of their
oppressors there was power, but they
had no comforter." Had the writer w rit
ten this just after a journey
THROUGH FOREIGN LANDS ;
it would be as true to-day as in days of
old. It would be better never to : have
been born than bora to such an inheri
tance of oppression. One half has never
been told. There is a wail going up all
over the land from the women and child
ren, who are ever crying out. The lot of
the women of Japan is less burdensome
than other nations, because she can. go
out from home more and call on 'her
friends, but she has no protection ; under
the statutes of her country. Her posi
tion is one of abject servility. A girl
who had been to the school, sent for
them to come to her. They found her
bruised on one cheek and arm by a step
brother beating her. They complained
to the authorities. They said go to the
police. What would we do? Suggest
milder treatment. They could go any
length in their punishment, only not to
kill her, and if they didT they would be
arrested. The position of a wife is that
of an upper servant
IN THE HOUSEHOLD,
and she can be divorced at pleasure.
The girls seen in tea houses are sold to
a life of sin by their fathers, that he may
have the money for some luxury, or per
haps to buy a portion of land. The girls
are first sent, to a school where they are
taught to conduct themselves gracefully.
The condition of the Korean woman is
much more grievous. Their life is spent
in one or two dismal rooms in the rear
of her house, her lot is to wash and make
her husband's clothes and to prepare his
food. In speaking of China the speaker
referred to the custom of foot binding.
It is only about 250 years old. One wo
man came to the doctor with two black
ened stumps in her hand, all that was
left of her feet and begged him to put
them on again if possible. The ordina
ry hospital of China is the street. It is
a common sight to see a dead body on
the street.. One day as she was riding in
her chair she was lifted over a body.
Again she saw two bodies
JUST COVERED WITH
coarse sacking, waiting to be' removed.
Day after day she rode through the
street with money in her lap to give to
the poor miserable ones who waited for
alms, but never dared give. One gentle
man was nearly thrown over the bridge,
chair and all, so great a number pressed
upon him because he grave one beggar

proved great stumbling blocks to our
missionary workers, for the Africac
want none of Christianity if they are
christians. The school was opened at
the earnest request of some parents, who
were able to pay for the tuition of their
girls. They numbered 1 00 scholars. At
one time their building became so poor
they could look up through the cracks
in the roof. They knew they could not
stay there through another rainy season,
which was coming on. Finally they
EXCHANGED WITH THE
parent board for some land they had
and put up a good strong building, one
that would hold 150 girls, going in debt
about SbOO. In relation to child mar
riage, the English government has
forbidden any girl under 12 being mar
ried, but it still goes on. One time they
missed a little girl who lived near the
school. They went to the home and in
quired for her. They said she was dead.
Then they went to a neighbor's. She
said the same. But they knew she was
not dead, but that there had been a mid
night marriage, and she had been carried
away. Infanticide has been forbidden
by law, but it goes on. One time there
was a report that 200 children had been
eaten by wild beasts. Upon inquiry into
the matter they found that every one of
those children were girls. The wild
beasts of India seemed to have an antip
athy for boys.
TWO LITTLE GIRLS
were once brought to our school. Their
parents were very poor and that nienrn
that those children lind always been
hungry. One day shortly after they
came to the school, one of the little girl",
"lit 1 le Catherine," came into mv room,
coming' up to me she said "Oh! Mi
Harvey dear I love you." One could
not help loving her. She seemed right
away to nil such a large place in our
hearts. One day she came to me and
was not feeling well. She had a little
fever, but I thought nothing of it. giv
ing her some simple remedies. I had
had a good deal of experience for one
who was not a trained nurse, for you
may know in a school of 100 girls there
would be some ailing ones most of the
time. When the doctor came he said
we were treating her case all right, not
thinking it serious. But she did not get
better, and one morning when I went in
to see her she had such a strange look
on her face,
I WAS VERY MUCH
concerned about her, and when the
doctor came I had him come right away
to see her, and as he stood looking at
her, his face grew so grave. Then he
called me to one side and said, it is too
late. Starvation has done its work. I
ued to write to her mother every day.
They had moved away for the father
had got work awv from there. When
she was worse I wrote her, but she
wrote she was sick in bed herself and it
would not be prudent for her to come,
and she was so glad Catherine was with
us where we could give her so much
better care than they could. One day
Catharine said to me, "Oh! Miss Harvey
dear, if you would only take me in your
room I am sure I would get well." But
the doctor said no, I must have my rest.
But she begged so hard tbey said take
her in. She was too sick

someone to take care of her. I put her

mv hand and sooth her till she slept.
But before I could fall asleep myself I
would hear that little moan and "Miss
Harvey where is your hand?" Then I
would soothe her again. One day slip
said to me, "Miss Harvey dear will I
never get well?" and I told her "No not
here, but that she va going to be with
Jesus." And she said "Will I never play
with my sister any more?" and I told
her "No not here." One day the doctor
said "She w-ill not live long." I wrote
her mother, and at night I wrote again
that Catharine was dead. We have to
hurry our dead away from us so in that
country. We put her in a little plain
coffin covered with cotton and gathered
the few waxen flowers
FROM THE GARDEN,
and laid them by her, and the flowers
were scarcely whiter than the little face
in the midst of them. So we laid her
away. A young lady then sang sweet
ly for us, presumably something in
accord with the thought of the day.
The delegates were then called upon to
respond with any item of interest.
Your delegate responded immediately
and after listening to a poem read by
a Bridgeport member of an auxiliary,
we came away as it was getting late and
we had a long drive before us. M. C.
