All this had its origin in the movement to obtain lower I‘ntea but the companies never kept ir promises. There much TOperty: destroyed in New Britain ar after year by fire and the reason for it is the efficiency of the fire de- partment. The expense is undoubted- Iy annoying to those who are trying to make a dollar do where two are demanded but the only thing that can bc done is to be as economical as possible and at the same time keep dcing something every year until the motorizing is completed. There does not seem to be any other way. insurance isn’t PLENTY OF WATER. If all the water that is running to waste in all the water systems of this part of the country this winter could be ponded there would be no anxiety about a sufficiency for a long time to come, even if very little rain fell. It is many years since there has been such an abundance. All depleted reservoirs were filled up weeks ago. Mcst of them have been running over ever since. Waterbury’'s system has been full all winter and enough has fiowed over the d: to fill the third big reservoir, which"is contemplated, several times.—Waterbury American. There is a good suggestion in the above for the reason that it points clearly to the fact that what every Connecticut city must do is to store as much water as possible in the season of plenty for use during the seasons when there is a drought. Sources of water supply in this state are pretty well gathered up‘ now, so that the city that goes looking for a new one will find the search a most gifficult one and. if found there are almost interminable difficulties '1n. obtaining possession without incurring an enormous cost. The problem be- fore cities nowadays in regard to water supply to enlarge their reservoirs so that in the spring time ~when there are freshets they may be able to store a sufficlent supply to tide them over the seasons when rains are light and water scarce. It was only a year or two ago that many places were confronted by a drought, in some instances manufacturing rlants were obliged to close tem- porarily and in addition to that cities were compelled to exercise gret caution in the use of city water lest there be a'large fire and great damage caused because of insufficient supply. Happily, there was no such result but several municipalities were given a fright that has caused them to fully realize the position they were in, and te be more careful in future. Just as the American says, there is enough of water going to waste now, which, if saved, would remove all anxiety as to a‘sufficiency for a long time . to come. The thing to do is to preparc for such times. is I'LAINVILLE PROPERTY MENTS, The case of Mr. Osborne of the Plainville board of relief refusing to attach his signature to a report of the board on the ground that there is some property in the town which he thinks is under-valued, that is, it has been assessed at a figure that is less than 100 per cent. is peculiar. Mr. COsborne is an extremely conscientious public official or he would have signed the report with the other members of the board. It would seem, however, as if the assessment is one to be settled by the assessors because they are the officers whose duty it is to do that part of the work and if there was any complaint as to the basis of as sessment it should have gone to that board. The hoard of relief, however, has the power to increase assessments as well as to make reductions, but it is the assessors who have the time to inspect property and to best determine the value. In a small town like Plainville men who are elected to public office gen- eraily know the town pretty well, have a general idea of the value of real estate and Mr. Gshorne may be one of those gentlemen who know all about the question of taxation so far as it relates to that town and for that reasgon felt justified in taking the stand he did on signing the report.

The Torrington Register says the Litchfield kangaroo was a deer which had had its leg broken, above the knee. The bones had knit together with the lower part of the leg at right angles to the upper, giving it a jerky motion in traveling. Why does Register insist on spoiling a good lie ?—Waterbury Republican. Raising deer for the market is s gested In legislative measures already introduced. It is pointed out that deer can be raised cheaply, which hut some substantial fencing will have to be undertaken before deer raising is a success, but the fact of the matter is no one desires to enter the business that owing to conditions in general.

Governor Holcomb that he is at heart in rrinciple of civil service by ing Burton Mansfield commissioner, when it was possible for him under the doctrine of spoils to replace him with a republican. It is quite needless to say that the gover- nor’s decision to retain the present commissioner will meet with general approval. He has proven an efficient and tacful official and deserves to be retained. But it is worth noting that, had the spoilsmen had their way he would have been cast into outer dark- ness with dispatch in order to make room for one of the faithful followers of the machine.—Ansonia Sentinel. Papers in the Streets. (New London Day.) Clean-up week for Bridgeport is only about two months away., From one point of view the necessity for an annual clean-up is a reflection upon the orderly habits of the community during the intervening months. The ideal condition would, of course, be a sort of all-the-year-round spotless town, As to our cellars and back each of us is at perefct liberty to do much, as he pleases. It is quite a dif- ferent matter with the city streets. The ‘habit of dropping papers wher- ever one happens to be is something against which any user of the strects has every right to protest. That this habit is altogether too common is made especially apparent on windy mornings in certain parts of the city. At times the amount of waste paper blowing around presents much the -appearance of an animated rubbist neap. A very few careless persons can leave a street in a very unsightly con- dition in this respect. It sometimes involves personal inconvenience to carry neswpapers, wrappings taken from small parcels, cigarette boxes and similar debris to a place where they can be deposited with a due regard to municipal neatness, The failure thus to inconvenience oneself is, how- ever, an indication of a certain lack of public spirit and pride in the ap- pearance of one's city Among the “don’ts” that should be constantly kept in mind is “don’t throw waste paper in the street.” Knowing One’s ge. (New. York Times.) So far s we know, there is not one reputed centenarian living who can establish the date of his birth to prove that he has lived a hundred years. Like the case of Thomas Parr, Who was said to have died in London, in 1635, at the age of 152—and ev- erybody then believed it, up to the king—the pitiless records either are defective or they prove the aged per- son to fall somewhat short of one hundred.

Brooks, a veteran of the navy, whose great age was said to be attested “hy records from his birthplace at Nor- folk, Virginia, and by his discharge papers from the navs The date of Captain Brooks' birth was set at No- vember 18, 1808, On inquiry of the navy department, Charles W. of this city learns that the records of the bureau of navigation ‘‘show that John A. J. Brooks, late master, United States na was born in Vir- ginia, November 1 1827.” That fis, Captain Brooks was in his eighty- cighth year at death. Noah Raby, who died in a New Jersey poorhouse a few years ago, could not prove his belief that he was 181 years old. Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur of the United States census bureau found that Raby did not enter the navy in 1809, but the records do show that he served on the frigate Constitution in 1839: he might have been ninetyv-three years old at Some evidence exists that the Coun- tess of Desmond died, not at her re- puted age of 145, but at 106.

And these have been many. But the dispositior tendencies, tastes, preferences, loves, hates and all the long catalogue of personal qualities, have remained the same, and seem bound to continue un- changeable forever. I remember with contrition efforts to turn Puritan feet out of one chan- nel or pathway into another. Little brothers who are fond of each other struggle hard to harmonize their likes and dislikes and tendencies, so as to pursue the same objects with enthusiasm. T can never think with- out smiling of those boyish days in the lone forest solitudes when the spirit nearest to mine, my nearest brother, my Achates, tried to be in- terested in fishing and hunting, both of us half knowing that he was in- terested in these pursuits merely be- cause T was. It became a joke be- tween us that most of his success In fishing was in the way of getting his hook caught in the bushe: But he had his success when at our home he brought out his books relating to Wilson and Audubon and the birds and the flowers we had found in our wanderings in the wilderness. When he painted his pictures it was my turn to try to harmonize. T tried to paint, both of us knowing that I dia so chiefly hecause he did.

The month of February witnessed remarkabh le prohibition of Towa, Arkansas and ed prohibitory statutes. a state-wide law wag pa: governor’s veto. The passed a prohibition probably become law. Oregon en- acted a statute necessary to the en- forcement of a constitutional amend- ment. It is@parent that this is not to end the movement. Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska are expected to fall into line shortly., In California there talk of state division for a purpose contrary to that which inspired the probably futile suggestion to divide the state of Washington. Whereas in Washington the western section supposed to desire relief from a dras- tic prohibitory statute, southern Cali- fornia desires relief from legalized liquor traffic, The plan offered in California is to divide the state by vote of the people, creating a territory in the southern portion. Southern California prohibitionists favor the division, It is not surprising that the liquor trade and particularly the manufac- turers of intoxicants are studying con- ditions with remewed energy. T. M. Gilmore, president of the national model license league and publisher of Bonfort's wine and _spirit circular, who is making a tour of the west, writes his paver from California that the manufacturers must seek new channels of distribution. He sees the doom of the saloon, at least through- out a large part of the country. Mr. Gilmore expresses the belief of many others when he says that the became the red flag, and all that stands in the way of its de- struction is in great peril.” The large majority for prohibition in Oregon was primarily protest against the oon. Yet with it went down the manufacturers of intoxicants. The state now adopts the inconsistent posi- tion that that which it is unlawful to manufacture in Oregon may be imported into Oregon for limited pr vate use in Oregon. If such a law spread to all states the people would have to give up wholly the use of wine, beer and whisky. There would be none to import except that manu- factured in foreign countries, which would be bevond the reach of the ordinary individual. ust closed «legislatures Idaho adopt- In Alabama d over the Utah senate bill which will That Dog *Ti Benedicl in Animals.)
