HE shore* of Cana
da abound In an
tiques, and many
of the old build
ing* contain much
that is interesting
to the antiquary.
The old Stuart
House at Sandwich
is no exception to
the rule, and Mr.
James Moore, who
now holds possession, own* some relies
thut have an Interest outside of their
antiquity. Mr. Moore was for many
year* an actor, and took the part of
Happy Dan. the tramp In the play of
the "Old Homestead." I.atcly he re
tired from the stage and has settled
In Canada. When he left Denman
Thompson there were some things thut
he took with him, among them a clock,
a spinning wheel anil a heiklc. There
Isa scene in the play which represents
the Interior of an old-fftrbloned farm
house. This scene was ore of the best
In the play, and the settings were
genuinely oli. Among them were the
arflelea mentioned. The dock Is a
work of art, a<cording to the standard
set by the manufacturers at the date
of Its building, and Its weather-beaten
face still shows some traces of the en
amel that was spread on It nearly two
hundred years ago. The sons of Mrs.
Httiart used It for a targei, and this
lias had a detrimental effect ou the
face, hut the works are still Intact, i he
only needful article in the make-up of
the clock Is a string, as the old one
gave out some time ago. The. weights,
works and hands are still there, and
with a little attention now and again

Illuminated fare still carries In almost
undecipherable letters the name of Its
ricottlsh maker. Geo. Allison, or some
thing like It. The original arrange
ment provided for the keeping tab on
the hours and the day of the month.
The latter department Is out of com
mission at present, hut the remainder
of the clock Is as ready for business
as It was when It left Scotland In all
the pride of Its new works and ease,
('lose by the side of the old clock rests
a tiny sewing machine which has a
guaranteed speed of one stitch every
nlnutc, w hen the hands of the operator
are brink. In spite of Its slowness,
however, the little machine is valuable.
What does It matter that It Is only
eight Inches long and live high, when
It can boast of being the first machine
of Its kind In this part of the world?
And the claim Is a Just one, and seems
to be fully substantiated. A somewhat
old-fashioned array of cogs eonnect
a, Ing the hand-wheel with the shuttle
drives the needle reluctantly through
the material to lx; sown. The needle
In the machine at present, looks to he
very old, linked, as do the rest of the
works, but neither date nor maker’s
name appears on this toilsome fore
runner of the speedy and easily run
sowing machine of modern times. A
spinning wheel of great age In the
corner to the left of the entrance to
the house Is another Interesting ar
ticle. Ah has already been said, It was
used for several years In the produc
tion of "The Old Homestead,” anil has
a glamor of romance attached to it on
that account It was once the property
of Mrs, Stuart, the former owner of
the place, but Instead of humming be
neath the foot of this lady's great
grandmother, and turning raw prod
ucts Into articles of protection, If not
•>f comfort. It now has the easy task of
lending additional dignity to the hall.
Its work and Its travels are both over.
The worn treadle shows how much en
ergy has been put into the turning of
Ihe wheel, but now It rests.
At one side of the wheel rests a
heckle. This wsh an Instrument used

nails. which look very odd beside the
clean-cut naila of tosday. A few rusty
stains on the spikes suggest that per
haps the box was not. enough to keep
little fingers out, and even a serious
accident may he conjured up by the
imagination. Home of the relics In the
Old Homestead are no relation to the
peaceful clock and the spinning-wheel.
They carry the memory of old mys
teries with them and the trail of vio
lent deeds Is upon and over them. The
first one In this Class Is an old horse
hair chair. This looks harmless enough
to the present observer, but some men
of the old regime found that as far as
they were concerned It was enough of
a harmful thing to send them to the
gallows. The chair Is a solid and mas
sy thing and bore the weight of the
honors thrust upon it In a becoming
manner. It was the first chair to be
used In a court of Justice In tbe coun
ties of Sussex and Kent. There is a
complete record of the criminals sen
tenced to death from this chair, but
It Is enough to say that their name
Is legion. Murderers, robbers, and all
the classes of criminals that existed
In the bard old days when this por
tion of the world was In an unsettled
state have stood before this chair and
heard their sentences pronounced. The
chair has had a great Influence on
the manners and customs of the peo
ple who Inhabited the surrounding
country, and now, its good work ac

MIC home life of
Mrs. Kiln Wheeler
Wilcox, during the
summer months,
makes a pleasing
picture ofAmerlcan
life. Mr. and Mis.
Wilcox have hill It
themselves »
charming retreat
called "The Bunga
low” on a rock on
the shore of I>mg Island Hound, elx
miles east of Yale college,
I climbed the rugged rocks up to
"The Bungalow” phur.za. Oriental rugs,
Merman ueollan harps, Japanese
screens, Indian wicker chairs and Mexi
can hammocks were all around,
"The Bungalow,” like a gnat, pelican
icrched upon Its rocky home, has for Its
companions four cottages on the shore
side of the lawn, like a row of "Mother
Carey’s chickens.” Those belong to the
Wilcoxes, anil are cosy cots, named
’’.Sea-lawn, Mid-lawn, Rock-lawn, and
Oak lawn," and are occupied by people
of the literary, musical and artistic
world, who thus share a part of "The
Bungalow" life, their relations being
fraternal rather than financial. It Is
therefore a frequent occurrence for
them to meet In "the Bungalow" and to
I M_. 0
amusement by mimic, soiik ami the
otliei- accomplishments, ami to Joiu in
the impromptu dances which almost
nightly, In the height of the season, are
liable to occur. Imagine the great le
viathan, stranded upon a pebbly beach,
around which remnants of a former for
est grew with green grass almost to the
wuter’s edge, and a bay of sapphire
stretching before you fora mite, where
It is merged Into the darker waters of
the Hound. Consider, then, the rock
upon which "The Bungalow” Is built
, that leviathan; upon Its gray track
stands the house, twenty-live feet above
the water; The winds buffet It, and the
angry waves thunder In impotent fury
ilnst Its rock bane; the hurricanes
It with the spray of the surf In
,u. From the windows of the home
then, as they madly turn, they blare as
you might, from the windows of u
lighthouse, observe the tremendous
workings of the sea and wind. Jn
stormy weather one In a is musical
notes swelling like .■ .gan through
the windharps swinging in the breeze,
then, as they madly turn, they blare as
the wind Increases, u strange, weird
nlrncnt to the shrieking do
th* storm.
uit of the house faces the bay
.td lo the south, and Is reached
-li ps cut and built In the rock, or
on the cast side by means of a natural
stairway of rock, which was left with
out uny artificial touches, and with the
rugged storm-torn cedars clinging to
the crevices. "The Bungalow" was
built, so to speak, by letter. Mr. Wilcox
being absent. The architect who su
perintended the construction of the
fluently made by her; she has a very
beautiful stroke. Is an excellent In
structor In ihe art, and she bus con vert
ed all her young dryad friends Into
naiads.
"The Bungalow" Is a feature in the
social life at the bench. Annually Mr.
and Mrs. Wilcox send out cards for a
"Bungalow" hop. These are character
istic fetes. The Invitations are written
In the scrawling hand of the fair host
ess on pale blue cards with “The Bung
alow, .Short Beach,” raised Iri deeper
blue letters across the top. Throngs of
guests from New York, New Haven,
Hartford, and the numerous summer re
sorts along the Connecticut coast are In
evidence for this annual gala night,
the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
cox extending to an almost unlimited
circle of friends and acquaintances.
Mrs, Wilcox Is very Industrious, and
although she bus no regular Medo
Perslau rules as to time, she generally
writes some every day. She works
with Intensity and earnestness: and
what her literary conscience tells her
has been neglected one day, she makes
up the next day, being capable of rapid
and effective writing under pressure of
circumstances. She also possesses a
faculty of concentration of mind under
conditions that would madden most
persons. Ordinary conversation, music
and laughter, she docs not mind, but
1 am sure she Is more often hindered
than most writers are by well-meaning
bores, who monopolize her valuable
time by nonsensical conversation; or
by boorish Idiots, who allow their
curiosity to drive them to the Indecent
at some wild beast, show. Mrs. Wilcox
writes without the use of many notes
or hooks of reference, und her original
manuscripts show a wonderful lack of
changes or corrections.
"I wrote my first novel,” says Mrs.
Wilcox, "on the hacks of old letters,
seated from time to time In the houghs
of an old apple tree. My home was
In Central Michigan, and I saw noth
ing hut that hit of country until tny
marriage. I divided my novel Into
chapters, and put little poetic lines at
the top of each chapter. Original? Yes!
Hut my friends told me that authors
always quoted those verses at the head
of their chapters, and so, ever after I
had a contempt for authors who could
not write their own verses."
<Jlrl« aiHl Kiarrlif,
in these days, when much Is expected
of women, the question of their phys
ical training ought to receive more at
tention. In this respect girls are at a
disadvantage as compared with hoys,
for up to eight or nine years of age a
girl mixes often oti equal terms with
her brothers In their sports, but after
that age healthy exercise Is sacrificed
to the Ismdage of genteel deportment.
The young girl Is confined, and any
gymnastic exercises that are permitted
are too often performed In a close
room instead of the open air and un
der the restraint of ordinary clothing.
Anything like vigorous muscular
movements are thus rendered Impos
sible. and almost the sole exercise Is
the torpid walk. Owing of the want
of functional activity of the muscular
system, the muscles waste and dwindle,
and the nutrition of the body becomes
Impaired. Many of the troubles women
suffer from in later life are undoubt
edly due to impaired muscular vigor.
Girls need not emulate their brothers

HIS FLY BOOK.
If !• Hearer to the Angler Thee Any
<11 tier ro*«c«iton.
Is there anything closer to an an
gler's heart than his lly-book? I know
of a case where a burglar, among other
things, took a fly-hook. He was ar
rested and speedily convicted and Im
prisoned. He cleared things out pr»-t;>
well In the house, hut Ihn owner seem
ed to care nothing about the missing
fur coats, sealskin sacks, silverware •
ami other valuable lares and pennies,
but he did bewail the loss of his hook ij
of flies. The other things ho could buy \j
again, but to ger together such nil as
sortment of vnliiuble flies seemed to
him an Impossible thing. He had been
years collecting them, picking up odd
ones here and there, until, for quality
and variety his book ciuld not be ex
celled. It was a fly storehouse, as It
were. No matter where he intended
Ashing, or whether for trout, buss 01
salmon, he could always find a chob <
assortment to draw from’ with which
to fill up n supplementary book. At
though It was some lltnn ago lie ye;
bewails th> loss of that fly-book. Many
have been thi efforts to get truck o'
it. but nil In vain, lie has gone to tin
expense of sending to the prison. In a
distant city, and endeavoring to pre
vail upon the convict to divulge tin
hiding place of the book, but willimit
success. A persistent search of rh<
pawnshops arid periodical advertising
have produced no better results.
There were flics Iri that book fo.

lakes and the ICngllsh streams, and

favorites from Maine to California, und
from one end of Canada to another,
wer< collected in that wallet anythin;
and everything from the feathordowi
midget with cobweb gut. to the lordly
salmon fly, absolutely Irresistible to
the lurking salmon deep down In tin ,

were Hies in that book on which fnm

ories of battles fought from cunoc

from the Chicago Tlmes-Herald;
Haltc Sven,” a character of the North
Side for some fifty years, died ut the
Alexlan Brothers' hospital last Thurs
day us the rcKitlt of a fall from the
second story of n hullding at Hobble
street and Milton avenue. "Haltc
Sven" which means “Damn Sven"
was a miser. Ills name was 8 I'.
Johnson, hut few know It. He owned u
score of apartment houses on the North
Side and hls wealth Ih estimated at
$250,000. But the old man hud lived
for years on what he could find In tlx
garbage boxes of the neighborhood. It
any of hls Swedish countrymen offered
him a drink he requested to be given
the coin It would cost and pocketed
ft with thanks.
Many stories are told of "Haltc
Sven’s" peculiarities. One day h>- cull
ed at one of hls handsome apartment
houses, and a servant who did not '
know him came to tfie door. She assum
ed he was a tramp, und without ques
tioning him gave him some food. H<
eagerly devoured the food and then as
tounded the girl by requesting her to
tell her master the landlord had been
there for the rent. Ho died bewailing
the expense incurred ut the Alexlan
Brothers’ hospital, and almost frith Ills
last breath begged to be removed to
the free County hospital.
