FINE OLD MEMORIAL TOWER
On T n Bridge at Milford, Conn., It
R ids tlie Colonial History
of the Place.
The town bridge at Milford, Conn.,
is a unique memorial of the colonial
history of the place. Milford was first
settled by colonists from the old Eng
lish town of tlie same name, and the
bridge, which was built to celebrate
the town birthday, is an esact replica
of an ancient one in the Milford over
the sea. Every stone in the round
tower is a memorial to some historic
Milfordite. Over ihe massive door is
the sculptured head of an Indian, sup
posed to be Ansantawae, the chief
who sold the town site to the col
onists in 16119. The knocker on tlie
tower door once belonged to the
old house where George Whitfield
preached in 1770. The doorstep is
from the mansion of Robert Treat,
governor of the colony of Connecti
cut for thirty years. One stone is dedi
cated to the memory of Jonathan
Law, a governor from 1712 to 1750.
This stone also once formed part of
the governor’s threshold. Another
large slab is inscribed with a tribute
to the Wepawanv Indians. On the
bridge corner by the tower the town
perpetuates in granite its gratitude to
“C.. >tain Thomas Tibbals (obit. 1702',
in consideration of his helpfulness to
show to first comers tlie place and the
land records.” Another tablet records
ii'i name of Peter Prudden, first pas
ter back in 1650. Several big blocks
of masonry are inscribed with the
mimes of the early settlers, and there
is one stone bearing Milford’s good j
opinion of itself iti these words: "God
;ited a whelt nation that he might
send choice grain to the wilderness.”
ACTED AS A WET BLANKET
i-.dignant Lady's Rebuke Sounded
Somewhat Incongruous, but Play
goers Will Understand.
It was a sweet, sad play, and there !
was hardly a dry handkerchief in the
house. Hut one man in the gallery,
‘among the gods,” irritated his com
panions excessively by refusing to
;ake the performance in the proper
spirit. Instead of weeping, he laugh- j
jd. While others were mopping their
eyes and endeavoring to stifle their
jobs his own eyes brimmed with mer
-iment, and he hurst into inappropri- ,
lie guffaws. At last the lady by his
side turned upon him indignantly.
"I d-don't know what brought you |
a-here.” she cobbed, with streaming j
eyes, and pressing her baud against i
her aching heart; "but if y-vou don't
like the p-play. you might 1-let other
p-people enjoy it!"
Raising Water With Air.
As all schoolboys know, a suction
pump can theoretically elevate water
only about thirty-three and one-third
feet, a column of water of that height
balancing the atmospheric presure. A
means has, however, been found of
causing a suction pump to raise water
to a height of even sixty feet. The
invention was made by a workman in
the French marine Monsieur Eys
serie, the chief engineer of the ma
rine, remarked that one particular
pump showed extraordinary qualities
in drawing water from ships’ holds.
Inquiry developed the fact, says Har
per’s Weekly, that a workman had
thought of the plan of introducing air
into the water at the point where the
suction was applied, thus producing
an emulsion of air and water, which, ■
because of its ditninisher density, was
capable of being elevated to consider- j
ably greater heights than pure water.
Her Feats of Memory.
“I have heard and read of wonderful
feats of memory,” said Mrs. A. H.
Brown of this city., "but not one of
them was so remarkable as those ex
hibited by my own mother at i»3. the
age at which she recently died in
Clyde, N. Y. That was her home for
65 years, but she was born in Phelps,
N. Y.
"She was an ardent reader of the
Scriptures and, having an exceptional*
ly clear, vigorous mind, she was able,
at even that advanced age, to repeat .
word for word the entire Gospels of St. [
Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke and St.
John. In addition she could recite j
lengthy passages from books of fa
vorite authors, and many poems, in
cluding epics ami extended lyrics. My |
mother was also a good Latin scholar.
Site had seven daughters, of whom six,
including myself, survive, as do six
teen great-grandchildren and twenty
one grandchildren.”
The Real Thing.
"I s’pose,” remarked the landlord of
the tavern, “that Dave Splann is what
you’d call a man-about town? Ho
once short-changed a circus ticket
seller; and another time he took out
| to s.ipper two soubrettes that had
been doing refined song and dance, in
terspersed with tumbling, at Hefty
Mitchell's Oh-You-Kid moving picture
theater; and throwed an oyster stew
i right into an electric fan. just to
j ghow that he didn't rare for exitense.
Aw, Dave's u reg'lur rounder, if there
| ever was one!"—Puck.
Literally.
“Did you see where a murderer In
New York, sentenced to the ele< trio
chair, declared the joke was on him?"
“That sort of humor is shocking.’’
Not to Bo Done.
‘‘This boy is a bad egg, sir.”
“Then I suppose it is of no us® t®
try and whip him.”
