And yet, we will warrant, a man is a better man for having read such books as “The Merchant of Venice,” or ‘“Trilby,” or any number of others In preference to such trash as “Married; But No Wife,” or “Sin,” or some of the more sensational novels of the day. Whether a man admits. it or not he will be much better off for having read the lovlier and purer romances instead of the sordid ugly things that are being thrashed out by the hack writers of this gemeration. OUR SUBMARINES, ‘While much has been sald .and written anent the wonderful achieve- ments accomplished by submarines of foreign nations, it is a very rare oc- curence when even honorable mention is extended the undersea boats be- longing to the United States. This may be because of reticence on tae part of the Navy Department in giving out information or an overdeveloped propensity on the part of Americans to worship boats belonging to other nations. That our own craft are cap- able of doing some things worthy of note, however, is evidenced by the despatch from Honolulu today which sets forth the record made by four United States submarines, the K-3, K-4, K-7, and K-8, which left San Francisco October 3, for Pearl Harbor and arrived at their destination last night after having traveled 2,100 miles under their own power. This is a record at least worthy of note. The submarines were escorted on their journey by the United States cruiser: Maryland, the collier Nan- shan, the tug Iroquois, and the tor- pedo boat destroyer Lawrence. This is the first time United State subma- rines have undertaken such a long voyage. And yet, there is every rea- son why the submarines of the United States navy should be the best in the world. It was in this country that the submarine was invented; it was in this country that it was brought to its present state of perfection. In our own state of Connecticut we harbor the man who is regarded as the pio- neer in modern submarine construc- tion, Simon Lake. Strange as it may seem, the United States is said to have possessed a submarine in its Navy of 1777. It was invented by David Bushnell of Saybrook, Connect- icut, and is described by historians as a “turtle shaped affair, carrying 150 pounds’ of powder, with mechanism to fire same when in contact with a ship’s bottom.” Thus, having made the start in submarine invention and construction there is no reason why the United States should not lead the world in maintaining and improving its work along these lines. America has been prone to let others take up where she left off. In the future there should be no laying off. FACTS AND FANCIES.

Metropolitan Provinciality, (Meriden Journal.) Brooklyn, N. Y., a city of 2,000,- 000 people, seems to take the prize for provincipality. One mornings last week two elderly sisters, aged re- spectively 69 and 75, started out for a walk. In the course of their stroll they crossed a big bridge. They found themselves in the midst of jostling crowds, in a region of appall- ingly high buildings. They were overwhelmed. They wandered around for hours in the rain, hopelessly lost. At last, thoroughly exhausted and chilled to the bone, they were res- cued by a policeman and sent home. Those women had lived in Brooklyn all thelr lives, and had never been in New York—just across the river. The case isn't the first of the sort reported from that strange, sprawling city on the western shore of Long Island, known on Broadway as ‘“‘the bedroom of New York.” A woman ticket agent in one of the Brighton “L" stafions was heard by a visitor not long ago remarking that she ‘“hadn’t been to New York for fourteen years,” though any of the trains she sold tickets for would have carried her there in thirty minutes for five cents. A Brooklyn theater manager who retired a vear 2go and took his life in his hands by going over to Manhattan confessed that he hadn’t crossed the river for twenty-five years. In the west, where a man or woman thinks nothing of going 500 miles for a friendly call or a little outing, such provincially is incredible. STARTING ON THF, CALIFORNTA. Drooklyn's Pride in Our Coming Largest Battleship. (Brooklyn Eagle.) Secretary of the Navy Daniels will be at the Brooklyn navy yard on "hursday to superintend the laying of the keel of the California. This vessel is expected to be the largest battleship in the world. It will be unless the secret plan of some other government includes construction on a scale not guessed by Washington. She is to burn only oil as fuel, and use dynamos to give the electric power to propell her. In the same way every bit of power on board will be electri- cal, easily and instantly under control. She will have a displacement of 32.000 tons, a length of 600 feet over all, a beam of 97 feet four inches, and will carry 12 l4-inch guns in four turrets, Her draught will be 30 feet. But the speed of the California will be only 21 knots, at least four kitots less than that of a battleship cruiser such as other powers are building. This calls attention the greatest need of our avy Perhaps the Brooklyn vara have a chance to Go something to supply that need, gooner or later. TIn the meantime it to nay will try to surpass itself, in the ex- cellence of the work and the prompt- ness of construction displaved on the California, WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office. Literary Output, (New Haven Union.) Sometimes it is interesting to look at the literary output from the quan- tative viewpoint. The Publishers ‘Weekly recently gave an approximate estimate because there is no way to get anything better. The following is an expert guess, probably fairly ac- curate. New fiction imported from abroad totals 800,000 volumes annually, New fiction written, published and sold at hcme amounts to 4,000,000 volumes. To these add ‘‘reprints,” sales of stan- dard authors, and the grand total is 8,000,000 coples sold. Of non-fiction, 1,000,000 imported and 3,400,000 American manufactured new books are yearly put on the market; and this does not include educational text- books or privately printed or publish- ed books which do not find their way to the public through regular chan- nels. Nor does it include government- al publications. The sale of old non-fiction amounts vearly to 10,000,000 copies; and of Bibles not less than 5,000,000 copies are bought. Fducational text-books annually total 37,500,000 copies; mis- cellanvous private, local and govern- ment publications amount to 3,680,000 new volumes. Subscription books to the number of 12,000,000 are sold; end the sum total of all classes of books manufactured is approximately §0,000,000 copies per annum. This seems like an extraordinary quantity of book reading but there are about 100,000,000 people in the Tniteq States now, and there are countries with a higher book con- sumption rate. However, these are older peoples, more homogenous as to TAce and ancentry, and do not include such a large percentage of those han- dicapped -by previous residence in lands affording them little education. But in spite of these facts it is true that the book consurhption of the average citizen is large. Sermon From the Grave, (Meriden Journal.) We are such a blase nation that it takes things most unusual to stir us out of the beaten rut of thought and awaken us to conditions. No doubt this man in St. Louis who left a large fortune and gave a strong sermon from his grave in the will must have understood this phase of human na- ture. The will of James H. Allen, dispos- ing of $3,000,000, was filed for pro- bate in St. Louis. The sermon covers the first page of his will and in it he exacts that his children shall promise that each one of them will give one- half of the estate awarded to them to be used for charitable purposes. In his will he declares this promise has been given to him from his chil- dren, and says: “All that we have belongs to the Lord. It is the Lord’s property and he will hold us to a strict account for the way we use it. The devil is smart- er than all mankind put together and will always lead us astray if left to our weak selves, so our only hope s in the Lord, who has promised us if we love, serve and obey Him that no temptation shall befall us, but he will provide an escape.” Not Good Sports. (New Haven Register.) When a German U-boat sinks an enemy vessel, it is a glorious achieve- ment for the Fatherland. Even if that enemy vessel was unarmed, the Ger- man chorus of approval is full vol- ume. That, assumes the nation that is fighting all the world, is in ac- cordance with the rules of the gamc. But when some British force, in its own defense, puts a U-boat out of business, what then? The tune s different. These are the words the Hamburger Nachrichten sets to it: “U-27 and U-29 have been sunk by British crime and are the victims of foul play. Where is U-27 " A dark deed, in truth! The rules of the game differ so according to who is play- ing it What a saving thing a sense of humor is. The British have it; it flourishes even in their adversity, Lohdon comes back at the German U- boat whine with this: Oh where and oh where is my little U-boat? Oh where and oh where can he be? I+ he under the water or is he afloat? Oh where and oh where is he? My U-boat he looked with his peri- scope round To see if the foeman was armed And whenever a victim defenseless he found He knew that harmed. Without any warning he sank with delight Any liner that came in his way, But these criminal English, regardless of right, Have sunk him in turn by foul play Heartless? Perhaps. But at least it displays a sense of the pro- portion of things. The British have their faults, but they take their losses stoically: They realize that “what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” as we put it in Amer- ica. Their opponents sometimes lead us¢ to suspect that they are not good sports. he could not be A True Type of Cavalry Horse. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Another forward step has been reg- istered by Kentucky. Through the efforts of the racing commission, a breeding bureau has been established for purpose of securing a true type of cavalry horse- The ranks of th» cavalry horse in Kentucky having been depleted by the buyers for the nations at war across the it the purpose of the commission to cross the blood strains of the or- dipary mare which is found on the farms of the state with that of the thoroughbred. A round sum has been subscribed by :| sire. Atlantic, * the three jockey clubs In the state and already Prof, J. J. Hooper, who is the head of the department of an- imal husbandry of Kentucky state university, has secured two noted sta lions for the bureau.: It is his plan to take these stallions, and other, too, if they can be purchased; out into the rural districts and to educate the pub- lic by means of lectures and pictures in the ways of crossing,blood. strains in the best manner to procure ample returns for their expenditures. The ordinary mares on Kentucky farms usually boast saddle, pacing or trotting blood. Their offsprings are not worthy of the tanbark or the track. For this reason these mares are generally crossed with the com- mon stallion and the offspring is no better than either the dam or the By crossing with the thorough- bred those who have fostered this plan belleve that the progeny will possess more durability, more strength and more gameness. The real cavalry type may be secured by this step, and it is planned to charge only a nominal fee for the service of these stallions of the bureau. In fact they will be placed on the same finan- cial scale as the so-called ‘‘plug” stallion. For many decades Kentucky has been famous for the horses which have taken the measure of the kings and queens of the show ring and the turf, and now the racing commission plans to procure the real cavalry type as a service to this country in Promoting preparedness in case of eventualities and to add further fame to the Blue Grass States. Serum Therapy and the Stackpole Case, (Bridgeport Farmer.) George F. Stackpole, an aged law- yer, is suffering with anthrax, a disease of cattle, which is sometimes transmitted to human beings. The disease is somewhat common among wool sorters, and in past centuries has been epidemic, under the name of “black bain.” Men afflicted with. the disease not uncommonly recover, which brings us to the utterly unscientific treatment accorded to the Stackpole case, in Lewspaper articles, relative to the use of Eickhorn's antharax serum, with the declaration that it is belleved Mr. Stackpole might have recovered, had the serum been given earller, There is no evidence to this point. The claim is entirely conjuctural. Had he not had the serum, he might have lived or died. Now that the serum is given, he may live, or dle. There is some evidence to show that the action of the serum has been positively injurious, for the newspaper stories are in accord jn stating that the patierit's temperature, after the administration of the remedy, violent- ly increased A great deal more has been claimed for serum therapy than f{ts results have justified. There have not been enough cases of anthrax in men, in which the serum has been used, to Justify any sort of conclusion about its value. But an inferential con- clusion may be drawn, because most of the serums produced have proved valueless. Church Unity. (New Haven Union.) Wherever efficiency is to be gained hy co-operation the churches should be on the watch for that fact. It was announced in the New York Times re- cently that the religious workers Catholics, Protestants and Jews, of Teachers college at Columbia univer- sity have joined in a co-operative tnion to arrange all religious activities on a basis of mutual helpfulness. A common secretary will arrange for all services, avoid conflicts in dates, at- tend to advertising and notlces, and the correspondence where desirable. Social activities will be carried on in common as much as possible. As there are 1,846 students in the Teachers’ college this year and many of them are interested in settlement and church work, it is proposed that Catholic, Jew and Protestant shall labor in common in devising means for making religious instruction more efficient. The Catholic club is to look after students of its faith, and the same course is to be pursued by the Jews, while the Christian associations are to keep up a non-sectarian character. Here is a plan of church unity real- fzed in a practical way. BIG CROWD AT MISSION, Another large crowd was in attend- ance at the mission of St. Mary's church last evening. Father MclIn- tyre gave the instructions on “The Satisfaction of the Justice of God.” The sermon was preached by Father Casey on ‘“Judgment.” PIMPLY? WELL, DONT BE! People Notice It.

The most active tonic treatment is recommended by the highest medical authority to ar- | rest the progress of such diseases, It is impossiblé to reach the nerves directly with medicine. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are & nervine tonic_but they act on the nerves through the blood, en- nbliy the blood to carry to the nerves the elements needed to build them up. Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headacheand a number of more severe nervous troubles are properly treated by building up the blood with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and are often entirely corrected in this way. If you are nervous you can help your- self by refusing to worry, by taking pro- r rest, sleep and vacations, by avoid- ng excesses and by taking out-of-door exercise. For medicine take Dr. Wil- liame’ Pink Pills, the non-alcoholic tonie. Sufferers from nervous disorders who have been taking treatment without bene- fit should investigate the tonic method.

DAVIS ON PAROLE SYSTEM Urges Clearing House Plan For Adult Ofienders Oakland, Cal, Oct. 15.—Considera+ tion of the relationship of the courts to the probation system and of the re- lationship between parole and the in- stitutions to which prisoners are sen- tenced was given yesterday by Kath- erine Bement Davis, commissioner of corrections of New York, and chair- man of the committee on probation and parole, in a report from that com- mittee to the convention of the Amer- ican Prison association. In the development of the prcha- tion system she recommended paini taking investigation of the individual, that the sentencing judge might have full knowledge of the points which have a bearing on the probationer. “As a general proposition,” she saild, “no offender should be placed on probation, who is not in sufficient- ly good physical condition to enable him to earn his livelihood, unless the court is assured that he has friends or relatives financially capable of caring for him. “No person should be placed o probation who is unfit by reason of feeblemindedness or psychopathic de- fects to control his actions.” Clearing House System. She advocated the establishmnet of the clearing house system for adult offenders to establish their eligibility for probation, similar to the system employed for juvenile offenders in the Chicago juvenile court where careful investigation of the antecedents, en- vironment and individual history of each child is tabulated. Discussing the parole systems, she said: “‘Both institutional care and parole are methods adopted to train the in- dividual who has been anti-social so that he may take his place as a law- abiding and self-supporting citizen. In my judgment the connection be- tween institutional life and the suc- ceeding period of parole is organic. The criminal having been convicted, it is the business of the institution to train him for his readjustment to so- ceity. The parole is the period in which the test of this training is made before the man is finally placed on his own resources.” Methods in Prisons. The report contrasted methods em- ployed in various prisons and the dif- ferent theories of prison management and the degree of freedom permitted the prisoner. Of the penal method which involved sharp repression and rules framed entirely by the prison of- ficers she said: “The difficulty of this system comes in the abrupt break between the life of the institution and the sudden free. dom which follows release. It seems to many thoughtful people that the breakdown of the parole system comes largely as a result of this method of administration.” Events Tonight High class photo-plays and vaude- ville, Fox's theater.
