As celebrated as Great Britain is for liberal government and enterprise —for religion and philanthropy—her policles of government are making paupers faster than she can take care of the: It is now said that Great Britain, with its army of two million unem- ployed, s facing the greatest crials in modern times because the well to do classes afe deaf to the appeals of the workers and blind to the indus- trial conditions which are getting worse and adding distress to distress as the months Toll by. Only the other day word came from Cardift, in Wales, that 500 unemployed men have seized part of the huge . hunting preserve of the Marquis of Bute and are preparing to sow the land In winter wheat in the hope of saving thelr famllies from starvation. It is sald that-troops will be sent to evict the trespassers, and in that event there are grave fears that a national uprising will take place which might lash ftself into a revolution. That is the outlook that the British arls- tocracy is facing at the present mo- ment. The more conservative of the Janded gentry are advising the Mar- quis of Bute to allow the intruders to occupy the land temporarily in the hope of averting bloodshed, while oth- er aristocrats fear that if passive per- mission be given the squatters there will be a wholesale invasion of pri- vate estates all over the empire with no end of a “mess’ as a result. A civilization that is producing such gesults as this lacks merit, for it cannot be founded upon the basic principles of right. That government is greatest which secures protection and comfort to every Industrial class; and that government which glves spe- clal privileges to one class at the cost and degradation of anothier class is simply sowing to the whirlwind and must eventually reap what it has sown, JBIDDING FOR A HOSPITAL. A Dill has been introduced in the legislature to locate an insane hospital in Fairfleld county. The over-crowding of the two hospitals already establish. ed In the state gives considerable rea- son for this move. With one near Norwich, one at Middletown, and one in Fairfield county, the state would Bbe well supplied _and better able to take care of the ficreasing number of the insane. Will any town in the county offer a sitn free, as was done in New London county?—Bridgeport Standard. 1t should be borne in mind that the insane hospital at Norwich is only in the formative stages. The fact that it 15 crowded to its utmost simply shows the necessity for rushing the work. Bfore bufldings are needed, and the prosent leglslature will see that a suitable appropriation Is made ¢ pro- mote the work. It fs o good idea to complets this Institution before anoth- er is begun. ‘THE INSURGENTS. A part of the republicans in con- gress are awake to the fact that Can- moniem and all it implies has gone ®s far as it should be permitted to &9, if the continuity of the republi- can party s desired. The republican Insurgents are rep- resenting the sentiment of the party along certain important lines and their decision that thes will make a fght for reform upon the opening of the Sixty-first congress finds support among the people. They will try— To take from the speaker the pow- ®r of naming committees. To vest that power in & committee on rules and committees, To abolish the present committee on gules, and substitute for it one of fifteen members, on rules, committees and order of business. To require that this committee shall be composed of nine members from the majority and six from the minority party, and that they shall be selected by geo- graphical sections, To this will probably be added a demand for a weekly call on the house calendar. { It is to be hoped that they will . make out better next time than they @!d at the opening of the present ses- sion. The centralization of power In the is difficult to break up be- of the patronage he has to dis- and the support he has secured it. i fod endeavor of the insurgents re- in nothing more than tempering speaker to present conditions and of the people and to become. an obstructlonist, It will have Speaker Cannon must pay more re- spect to the people and the adminis- tration or they will be less loyal to his party. THE USES OF ADVERSITY. Some people have found adversity to have been so instructive—so benefi- cial, that they have thanked God for it; and others have found it the bane and the barrier of life. .The man who stops to dally with adversity makes a sad mistake. When adversity gives a man a +hirl it is his duty to immediately see what he can turn his hand to next. Adversity nev- er stays with any one who is up and doing. It finds no companionship in such good company. Discouragement and adversity have always heen cheek by jowl. It has been truthfully said that “People who have nothing to do soon get sick of their own company.” Adversity knocks a man down, but it has no taste for a man it cannot hold down. It does not like the motto: “Put a stout heart to a steep hill" The man adversity overcomes is he who magnifies molehills into moun- tains—who says: “I can't” where he should say “I can!” It has been well sald: “No life can be dreary where work is a delight.” He who works with a will laughs at adversity—for he knows that where there is not a straight way to success there is surely another way. EXPENSIVE DRESSING. There s only one class of persons who ¢an afford to indulge in expen- slve dressing and that is the class that is able to meet the cost of it prompt- ly. The world sets a good deal by dress, and clothes do tell anywhere and ev- erywhere, but when they tell of ex- travagance and debt they discredit the wearers, Clothes that fit the wearer and are paid for are really admirable and some times the wearer is admired for the clothes’ sake when he has no specially distinctive quality to recommend him. It is not In good taste for a work- man to dress like a clergyman, or for a statesman to attire himself like a dude. Clothes must always comport with the station in 1ife one occupies— must fit the calling as well as the form. No one would hire for a watchman a man dressed like a clothiers' dummy, or for a stenographer a young woman togged out llke an actress. Poor taste in clothes s akin to slovenliness, and is always a discredit. A man or a woman neatly garbed attractive to both the tailor There is enterprise in dressing and in dressing well; but for any person to dress beyond his means spells foolishness in big letters. The man who looks best in the bus- Iness world is he who keeps clean and settles with mbst promptness, A COLD WEATHER HEN WANTED What is wanted today is a hen that can lay an egg every day and sing its cheery song in the cold montHs. The public has become tired of get- ting along with aged, cheap, degener- ate summer eéggs in the winter time. It is just yearning for enough fresh- 1aid eggs to go round when Christmas cake is in fashion and the slelghbells are ringing. The “summer hen, to be sure, has won great glory for America—has laid eggs enough in a year to belt the cir- cumference of the earth eight times and to keep al| the summer hotels in broflers—also to renew the prime egg- laying stock, but where the hen fails Is when Jack Frost freezes her comb and solidifies the water in the drink- ing pans. That is when the hen gets numb and eggs get high, What is the seedles orange, the cobless corn or the pitless plum com- pared to the never-failing hen—the hen who can defy frost and prevent egg famines and put cold storage eggs out of business. It the hen cannot do it, it 1s predicted that some ingenious German chemist may yet artificially construct an egg out of coal tar products which will be more assuring and satisfying than the eggs which cannot be labeled rictly fresh laid. EDITORIAL NOTES. If there is not more than six weeks more of real winter we should all be thankful, thought for today: Happy The heart that sings can do so without words or note: When Upton Sinclair says that he is ashamed he is married, the reading public is ashamed of him. It.is estimated that Boston wastes $700,000 worth of water annually. That would make quite a pond. 1f hips are old fashioned, it is a fact that a great many Norwich women are unable to suppress them. Fastman, who invented the Kodak camera, has got where he can give $400,000 to a hospital. It took! No married man commands a good salary, says a cynic, for his wife al- ways has full command of that, Massachusetts has just declined again to have a Lincoln hollday. Few holidays had Lincoln's endorsement. Nevada Is trylng to show all the nations of the earth that it does not take much of & state to make trou- ble, It is announced that the new rifles and portable machine guns for the army are to be bullt ut Springfield, Mass. The Denver Republican thinks that M.D. added to Mark Twain's name can stand for nothing but Merriment Dispenser. The comic valentine is to the fore onee more. This shows how difficult it is to force from sight a relic of barbarism. The Massachusetts woman who tied her husband to the bedpost and whip- ped him, shows that she was “the man of the house. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. has fust taken command of a carpet loom. He may be expected to boss a whole factory by and by. The professor who states that all children are liars, probably has none of his own, and forgets, pehaps, that he was once a child. Congressman Glass is thinking of running as a straight prohibitionist As a dem- for governor of Virginia. ocrat he takes water, Some one has sald: “Get with man and you are right with 0 am aware that this sounds like the basest nonsense to some sincerely plous men. But the man who is ex- actly right with man is not likely to be wrong with anything on earth. A man to be right with his fellowmen must do as would be done by— must love his nelghbor as himself— and when he gets there he will be gen- tle toward every llving creature God has mad: 1 do not think men who profess to love God look well detesting any creature God has made. I do not feel sure that we do not owe much to the creatures which we regard as being useless and cumbering the earth. It is a nice thing to be right with man and right with nature and right with God. Man's relation to all things should be harmonious and some day it doubtless will be. We talk about practicing athletics and deep breathing to become strong physically, but how many, think you, when the opportunity eomes to retal- iate for some wrong practice omit- ting it. There ls nothing in retalia- tion for anyone. You may think there is satisfaction in it, but there isn't; because the Injury of a person under any clrcumstances is a wrong. The mighty man is he who omits to re- taliate when he might do so, Sav- ages think that revenge is sweet, but Christ-like men know that it is weak- ness. When you and I retaliate we are injured more than the other party. When'the thought of retaliating takes possession of your mind just eviet it as you would the meanest tenant. You will know then what a help it is to you to be rid of this Imp of dark- ness. The American boy is vour charge nd mine, and he is Alling up the jails nd the prisons. If you do not know that 76 per cent. of this country's criminals are youth who have been rveglected, you know it now; and 80 per cent. of these boys were never given a trade. They were not taught how to make a living by their hands. Is that boy of yours learnin~ to do things, or just figuring for a soft- snap in life? Half the boys who waste e in trying to avoid hard work end in prison. The kid who isn’t afraid work will make a man, the other kind may make a thief or a murderer. Habits of industry are better for a boy then an inherited fortune, | like the lad who has grit and who faces adverse circumstances with faith in his power to win in spite of them. The boy who isn't afraid of patched trousers or work usually makes a cap- taln of industry. He escapes a great many temptations which beset the lad whose parents live on Pasy street and has to Hft himself “by his own petard” instead of having feed boosters to push him. The graduate in patched trousers is often the first scholar in his class and may be later at the head of his professioh. Honesty and persistence never rust—they just shine—and hold —and win. Boy, do not forget this! What would not a woman give to know how to keep her husband at home. Some men—a few—are so do- mestic in their habits that they stay put: but in most men there is some- thing of the nomadic spirit remaining and they refuse to be kept at home, for they lke the wild and roystering ways of companionship and care noth. ing for the sweet quietness of domes- ticity. It is a wise woman who never attempts to head off her husband, but who instead makes him believe he Is having_his way when she is having hers. The fact is the woman can hold her husband firmest by making him be- lieve he is having the largest of lib- erties—that he has no opposition. The practice of self control is worth preaching if it is difficult to practice. It is a great thing to be able to look upon the man who calls you knock-kneed baboon” and smile. There is really no necessity for saying anything to him. It is beneath your dignity to deny it, and you couldn't honor yourself by knocking such an individual down. Calmness knocks out folly at every turn of the wheel. Do Dot be quick to recognize an ordinary two-ply insult, for it does not pay. The man who would insult you is very much frustrated if he appears to have failed. The man of self control can smile at him—the man who hasn't it lets him know he is a success. Silenee is one of the most confusing things brutality or foolishness butts up against. We married men are all a good deal alike, and never nothing less than a trial to a devoted and faithful wife. We were never made to sit in the parlor, or to do things as a woman would do them or have them done. Wihat did Mrs, Blaine say in her letters about the Hon. James G, Blaine after he was dead and gone? “I miss Mr. Blaine. I cannot bear the orderly ar- ray of my life. 1 miss the envelopes in the gravy, the bespattered tabl linen, the uncertainty of the meals etc. The joy of irregularity was ne longer hers. She did not realize that these bothers were anything but a cause for worriment uniil they were forever ended, We're a bother, but it is a satisfaction that in this role we are more of a blessing than we seem to be, although these questionable qualitics are not appreciated until they are missed. Since we know how it will be we will not-mind the scolding. Some men pretend to think that lit- tle sly vices are not so bad, after all; and they indulge in doing things which they would not like to have thelr own household know anything about, Such men stand in their own Jight. If no one on earth knew of these fauits but themselves they would nev- er feel proud of them. When they sit down by themselves and think life over they bring them no satisfaction whatever. If they think that death ends all they can only hope to live and die in their trickery and what does that amount to? No man swells with pride over his infirmities—in shame he keeps them hid. There fs that he has never been kissed. It would be interesting to know where he has kept himself all his life, Bank consolidation has gone on in Boston until 23 national banks do more business than 57 used to ten years ago. Centralization is the fashion, now These wireless despatches go with the current, One sent from Norfolk, Va., was picked up flitting over De- troit, although started for the English coast. President Roosevelt declined to ac- cept a legacy of $10,000 left him by an unknown admirer. Colonel Bryan cannot understand how Theodore could do that. The sea-level canal is given the pop- ular support of people not famillar with Panama; but those who look the ground over say that the lock canal is the only thing. Since the men of the south are mov- ing to erecc a monurient in honor of the women of the south of the civil war era, the men of other sections may be prompted to like chivalry.

When or by what means a portly chaperon could have been smuggled into town right under the eyes of the summer colony puzzled the young men as much as her presence chagrined them, for they had already entertained visions of uniimited good times with a bevy of unchaperoned summer girl No fun up here, boys, let's watch out for the girls around the rocks and that old lady won't get far from camp with all her avoirdupols and this hill in the proposition, too, you mark my words," and Billy Mat- thews ordered his squad to “right about face” and retreat. The story of the safely guarded Eyrie soon spread through the little com munity and varlous tactics were de- vised by the boys to lure the mew girls into the holiday life of this par- ticular half dozen summer young men. The scheme all proved more or_less successful, for It transpired as Billy Matthews' had predicted; the duenna, or “our chaperon, Madam Barlow,” as she soon came to' be fasetiously called, never did attempt the difficult path, even in the discharge of an obvious duty. Nevertheless all hints to the girls for an invitation to call at the Eyrie were Ignored by them and every attempt made by the ardent “half dozen” to steal up uninvited resulted in confronting the obsequious Madam Barlow with the inevitable book in hand in the “watch tower, window came to be called, an which no welcoming nod e aged them.

Billy Mat- thews was hopelessly In love with Ethel Moses—eéveryone could see that —and Ralph Ingraham was developi symptoms _easily dlagnosed by chums, and which he ingenuously ad mitted. Fred Lander and Beatrice Munroe read Omar Khayyan too as- siduously for it to “go down” with anyone who h: previously known Fred and kne 0w, cordially he de- tested poetry of all sorts, while the other individuals of the now famous “double sextétte” were manifestly following closely the lead of these three couples, As a matter of fact, Madam Barlow was not greatly to be complimented on her shrewdness, or her trustworthiness as a professiona] chaperon. The girls metaphorically “pulled the wool over her eyes” at will, and both boys and girls went their own sweet way—the way of all lovers—during six delight- ful weeks; then came tb nouement. The Wavel a weekly follo sheet, gotten out for the amusement of the summer colony, announced the engag ment of four out of the six couples ‘whose life centred about the Eyrie. and made convincing prophecies respecting the others. Only two hours later the colony was startled to the point of horror by the news of tragedy at the Eyrie, Madam Barlow (no doubt in desperation at thig disastrous turn of affairs and realizing her flagrant ‘breach of trust), had sulcided. Help was summoned to the Byrle, and the pathway was quivkly a waver- ing line of hurrying, struggling puff- ing, perspiring, wild-eyed humanity. The Eyrie door stoi open and with- out ceremony men, women and children with hushed volces flled into the cot- tage.

But one brief moment was needed for comprehension, then: “Hurrah for the passing of Madam Barlow!” went up from the guests. “And welcome to our engagement feast,” responded a chorus of ha- voices, while simultaneously six im- maculately dressed young men step- ped unblushingly out from some hid- den recess of the room.—Boston Post. nothing but degeneracy in ely habits | —they have never marked a man of full stature and never will. Indulg- ing in little vices on the sly is living in the realm of the sneak. What handsome ocatalogues the seedsmen do turn out, and what meth- ods they employ to capture the few dollars we invest in seeds, They are not farmers—they are to be ranked among the smartest of business men, and the most brazen confessors, for many of them tell thelr patrons that they will not be responsible for the quality or productiveness of their seeds—they decline to glve & guaran- ty. All this seems to me to be as superfluous as many other pretenses which I see In their pages, They will bear sharp looking after, and they will surely get you if you do not watch out. They are not doing busi- ness for their health any more than the politicians; and they are not half as generous as they seem; but we can- not get along without them. One trouble with men is that so many of them can talk about things and so few of them can do things. The man who can tell you all about how things are done never had an original idea in his life. He differs from the inventor in this: That he sees the form after it has been ma- terialized, never before. The archi- tect and ‘the designer see things and then materialize them, 1 once saw a sreat building with furnishings and furniture all made to match that cost a million and a half which was the work of a man of 36 years. All the detalls of that edifice and fts fur- nishings were in his mind before he put it on paper. It is wonderful how a minister can pull a sermon out his mind and an architect a block of buildings out of his. Perhaps you have not thought that doers are al- ways seers—the man at the forge the shape that he is hammering metal into. Get to be a seer and a doer and then you are in good trim to be- come a talker. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The Gove r at Yal ‘When Governor McLean in a speech to the Yale alumni once expressed re- gret that he was not a college gradu- ate, there was a certain manly sensi- bllity about it that touched his audi- tors quickly and deeply. They recog- nized at once a man as desirable to them as he was desirous of beong one of them. His handsome presence, his eloguent tongue, his successful career &s lawyer and statasman, were at once convincing that a college education Wwas not necessary, however desirable. When Grover Cleveland told the Princeton men that he wished he had been to college, and was grateful to be taken into the charmed circle of Nassau, his words of humility might be interpreted as proud words, because all wers conscious of his distinguished achlevements desplite educational lim- itations. ~Grover Cleveland was sure to be welcomed into any group of men, At Hartford Wednesday night Gover- nor Lilley claimed to be a Yale man by right of election and by his double family connection with the under- graduate world. He has been in the Yale atmosphere a good deal for sev- eral years, and he feels at home there. There may have been a little malice in his suggestion that the Yale men could do a lot of good in the state if they would enter actively into politics. He probably referred to the New Haven brand. Perhaps he thinks that they may be discouraged by the fallure to accomplish much by their activity in the late election. The governor is something of a humorist at times.— Waterbury American. Sober Man’s Burden. Judge E. M. Warner has sald: “The county fail is the sore spot and the weak spot in our system of criminal law.” Recently published figures, to say nothing of experience, prove it. The average earnings of prisoners in the jalis of the state last year &id not equal two dollars per month per pris- oner. The state paid $126,000 for the board of these prisoners who earn $24,106. Truly, as Judge Warner characterizes it, the jail system is the sober man’s burden.—Bristol Press. i SUNDAY MORNING TALK mmmm-‘g ON WALKING UP TO OUR PROB- LEMS, Problems, problems, problems. What an array of them on every hand. The fundamental problem of human exist- ence—what are we here for and where are we going when we die, the prob- lem of keeping soul and body togeth- er, of paying our bills, of laying up a little against old age, and the possible “rainly day " the problem of living and working with others, of home admin- istration, of child training; the social problem, the industrial problem, the racial problem; the problems involved in International relationships and at- fecting the peace of the world. These are but a few of the personal and pi- fesslonal knotty questions that are dis- coverable as we look about us. Every growing life has its problems, as has every growing Industry, Indeed, they are a sign of growth and if they are all together absent from your ex- perience it may be because you have ceased to grow or have gotten into deplorable ruts. So when we find them in our way it behooves us to have settled our policy in advance concern- ing them. Not that we can solve any of them ahead of time, but we can maintain a certain constant attitude l(})ward the entire problem-area of our ves, ‘This attitude, I would roughly de- fine as walking straight up to them. The contrary policy is far easier and much more common. We evade prob- lems when we can. We cross the street to get rid of them. We dodge or ignore them when we ought to walk straight up to them and take the measure of them with fearless eyes and cool brains, In all probabllity they will not look to us so big or so formidable. A parent or a school teacher dealing with an unruly or an irritating child is often tempted to avold the issue to temporize or to compromise, when one clear, steady -look at the situation would lead to the clearing up of the difficulty. ~ “I straightened out that boy’s table manners in a week” sald a boarding schoo] teacher, referring to a lad who had come to him from a home where his parentts had allowed things simply to drift from bad to worse. ‘The grapple is the thing. Walk up to your problem, and after measuring it, take firm hold of it. It won't be any easier to tackle tomorrow than it is today. Waiting may complicate it still further. Moreaver, waiting gets on to one's nerves. You lose, while walt- ing, the power and the coolness you need for the grapple. There was nev- er a problem that did not become somewhat simplified by the effort to solve it. The knot may still remain tough, but the threads have been loosened a lttle. A problem sometimes seems to me Nke a game of pool. Sometimes the balls arrange themselves on the table in such a way as apparently to pre- vent the making of a successful shot. But as you study closely the situation i discover that one good “try” can 6 mads So with our problems—you can always do one thing with them. And that done, something else will ap- pear to be done, and 50 on from play tc play until perhaps the whole problem is shot through and through with light. Quall not, then, in the presence of problems, personal or professional. ‘When Macaulay heard that there were ,000 thieves in London he remarked lad of it. Shows how rich the city 1s.” And we are not to pity ourseives or others when problems arise. They show what confidence God puts In our energy, our wisdom, our resources, our persistency. our courage.
