OUR DAILY Dally Delivery in New Britain, Meddlers With Nature. (New York Sun.) The scallop, we are told by a cor- respondent, is in its proper market form ‘yellowish, sticky, firm,” but by quacks is made ‘“white, flabby, soft” to look better—and taste worse. Why will marplots so meddle with nature? The natural martini is what everybody knows it is or remembers it to have been. Comes a meddler and drenches it with fruit julce to make us il insteady of merry. May the turnkey stalk in his shadow, the prison doors yawn for him! The turkey trot as nature made it was as wholesome, hardy a dance as ever was, born of the cake walk mar- rled to good manners. Now it is be- fangled with dips, glides, slides and hesitations until one’'s heels reel in cfiort to remain nethermost to one’s head Once we revelled in natural politics; the speaker’s stand on village sreen or city park aglow with flaming torch, the squire, or it might be the district leader, presiding, the speaker a likely personage filled with wisdom and voice, the crowd as cheerfully alert for fight or frolic.

Handling It to the West. (Collier's Weekly) The magic of the west is something often spoken of but seldom expressed. what you like of the east, it that western magic that gives United States ultimate distine- tion. Nearly every foreigner who “does” the country thoroughly feels this and often makes some rather in- coherent attempt to express it. But some of the noblest expressions have come from an American who loved every separate atom of his country. That was Walt Whitman.
