But New England has not lack, nor it been by-any other portion of the nonce 18- has over- country. It is, perhaps, the idea of these men who formed this organiza- tion to exert every effort to overcome | the false accusations that the rounds to the effect England has lost some of prise and to that end their mission is a worthy one. It is good, once in a while, for the city, the town, the sec- tion, prodding. that its enter- to receive a goodly Like the individual, the group is liable | to lax into contentment with itself and | if this is so then it remains for some such organization to apply the nudge while at the same time it calls the at- tention of other parts of the country to the lively spirit that prevails. New England at one time was the dominant section of the United States. It was the recognized leader in practically all the movements that made for the greatest strides in the nation’s de- velopment, If today it seems to have lost some of its influence, as its ac- | cusers would have us believe, it is be- cause the rest of the nation has forged up close to the front row and de- mands some little attention. But New England has lost none of its glory. It is richer and more prosperous than many of the other sectlons what though it may be slightly more con- servative; but conservatism comes with age and New England is olaer than these places making all the noise and clamoring to be heard. So while we shall not worry about any decline in the activities in this immediate vicinity nor feel that New England is losing its influence, we will readily concede that it is a good thing to tell the boys and girls of the nation Jjust what is going on in this section, to let them know in how many ways New England leads the country,—its huge manufacturing pursuits and its giant industrial activities speak vol- ums; its commercial importance is its badge of honor. It is already thick- 1y populated, enough to satisfy the cravings of the hungriest landlords; but if the summer vacationists would point their barks in this direction and enjoy the sunshine and the balmy air of the mountains and woodlands of old New England there might be a bigger boom and an added increase in new residents. New England’s charm is compelling, convincing. HOW TO GET MILLIONS. Before a gathering of advertising men in New York the other night one well known member of that profes- sion stepped forward with twelve sug- gestions which may be of interest to all those in the land who are yearning and striving for a way in which to make a million dollars. Here they are, then. All anyone has to do is to pick out any one of the following and spend time and energy enough in solving the problem presented and the million, yea, two million, and more, will be his, or hers:— 1. Invent a new automobile fuel cheaper than gasoline and as good, or a carburetor that will convert kero- sene or some other inexpensive fuel into thoroughly efficient power. 2. Invent a tire that is absolutely puncture proof and as anti-skid as a chain. 3. A non-leakable fountain pen, easily fillgble, with an ink well that cannot be upset, and that works auto- matically for filling the pen. 4. A shoe that fastens couple of snaps instead buttons. % 5. A quick-fitting corset that clips tight to the figure without lacing. 6. A moth-proof wardrobe for summer homes, with an attachment to remove the-smell of camphor or tar from the clothing. 7. An automatic rug beater that can be set up in the yard, and that will vibrate by electricity and ham- mer out the dust 8. A window screen that rolls up like a window shade, easily detach- able. 9. A secure, easy to remove win- dow shade bracket that will not dam- age the window casing. 10. A man’s collar that choke him while being worn be attached without butto the neck and have an affini for the dark spot under the chiffonier. . ]‘1. A twin bottle containing icdine, the best antiseptic known with means to apply it neatly, and a quick emover of stains. 12.

There is something genuinely re- freshing in the brief biographyeof John Een lately published in the | Philadelphia Public Ledger. Een is the recently appointed postmaster at Amherst, Wisconsin, but it is as a type of men who have made the rural west that he is interesting. He. savs of himself that he is the champion fiddler of his state; he has played at 4,668 country dances since he made | his first fiddle in 1859. He made it because he had brought the ‘fiddle fever” with him from his birthplace in Sweden, although he was but three years old when his parents brought him to the northwest woods to settle on the farm which has always been his home. There were plenty of Indians, ceer and wild game there, but no fiddles, so Een made one. He at once became the favorite of young people and has retained their affection. He has travelled down the progress of the dance from the old fashions to the tango which he likes. He played for a dance at New London, Minnesota, a few days before the Indian massacre there back in 1869. He has held plenty of political offices and has travelled widely, but the farm which his father cleared in the forest has always been his home. He is a human enclycopedia of information about the development of the northwest, its life and its ways and he loves them. A bill is to be presented to our state leg- islature providing for pensions to | young men who remain a certain num- ber of years on our farms in active work. It is when this state of things is contrasted with the life of a John Een that we realize the long way we have come since our forests were broken into farms; and as the making of nations counts time, it is but a few years. (Providence Journal.) From Waterb to the Sea. That is an exciting proposal, to comnect the busy city of Waterbury, Connecticut, with tidewater by barge canal. It may recall what Mr. Dooley said, upon being informed that the latest limited express had short- ened by many hours the distance be~ tween Chicago and San Francisco: “If the Lord had wanted Chicago any nearer San ancisco, He woula have put it there.” Waterbury is only a little way from tidewater, to be ure—s: between cighteen and nineteen miles up strean: from Derby Junction, where its tum- bling river, the Naugatuck, meets the Housatonic.

As to colored cotton, the Mexicans have never felt the pinch of a dyestuff famine, at least red dyestuff, for this country 1s the home of the cochineal, that odd insect, whose dried hodies furnish such a wonderful and lasting scarlet coloring matter. I was not until 1703, the very year in which the Spanish settlers reached the present site of Chihuahua City and discovered the Santa Eulalie mine, that it became known that cochineal was not a seed of a plant attached to the cochineal fig, but a bug. “In some parts of Chihuahua cot- ton is perennial and it is unnecessary to plant it oftener than once every ten yeal “The spinning of woolen yarn and weaving of woolen cloth is one of the industries of Chihuahua City, dating back to the importation of the merino sheep by the Spaniards in 1541. 1t should he remembered, in- i cidentally l that all the domestic ani- Mexico date from the Span- wnd the herds of cattle, and swine which now pasturage on the plat- Chihuahua of conq sheep ma ish goals ind excellent eau surrounding heart against the black robe, so that | sprung from the original panish stock, except for the few new strains introduced within very recent years in an effort to improve the standard “Of the 23,191 mining properties listed in Mexico in 1906 five-sixth of them produce silver and of these the Santa Eulalie 12 miles outside Chi- huahua, is the most famous.
