Many a man who has made his mfl- tions has lost the blessings which come of well-doing and which support and crown mortal endeavor. No man can ‘ob his fellowmen without robbing himself, for 1ife is so balanced under the immutable laws of heaven that man must put something into it of value a8 well as take something out of it. The man who grinds the poor to enrich himself is making slaves of his workmen and & hard-fisted tyrant of himself. There is no such thing as independence in this life, and it | only through properly adjusted Inter- dependence that men find their natur- al relations to one another and their | yacht came | custom hous spected proverb, and this may be the reason that there is never any femi- nine opposition to any pattern fashion sets up. Seneca In his day declared what were vices had become fashions, and now we what Is supremely ridiculous elevated in the name of Sty BOOTH’S GREAT ARMY. On the 10th of April General Bal- lington Booth, the orlginator and com- matder of the Salvation Army, will be oighty years old, and the event will be celebrated in all parts of the world where an army post has been estab- lished; and to properly signalize the event it is_proposed to found a Uni- versity of Salvation, with branches in London, New York and Chicago, for the training of workers for all branch- eg of the work at a cost of $5,000,000. This great religlous work is really cosmopolitan and upon it the sun nev- er sets. General Booth, the organ- izer, still directs all ‘its works—the work of enlightening the minds 6f the poor and needy in every land—of teaching the freedom of the soul and speaking the words of hope which car- ry a blessing to every creaturs, On that day the prayers of 50,000,000 peo- ple bound together by this great work in 50 different languages will rise to heaven in thanksgiving for their great leader. What mortal man ever lived to realize more from his personal con~ victions and religlous energy? SANFORD AND HIS CREW. It is some time since Sanford, the organizer of “the Holy Ghost and Us- ers” of Shiloh, Me, has been heard from, but The Bulletin learns from & copy of the Stock Journal of Sydney, N. 8. W., which blew into its sanctum that he was in Australian waters at Christmas time, which said that his in’ without a pilot and went out without a pilot, and the pas- sengers and crew wanted to be let alone. They told nobody about them- selves, and would not have allowed any one to know a thing about them, but for the fact that they have quar- tine regulations in the harbor and a , and the doctor and the | custom house officers had to board the boat. And this is what the paper sa; about him: “This man Sanford was educated for a parson, but his imagi- nhtion was too vivid and when he found that there were 200,000,000 more heathen now than when Christianity was born, it drove him over the line. He set to work and prayed for power, and got all the farmers of Androscog- in to come in with him and build a ‘shiloh’ on a hill top. “He only started in 1893 and already he owns about three million dollars’ worth of property and & small fleet of ships, and the yacht Coronet is one of the fleet. He means to colonise in s, true relations to God. The man who manifests sympathy and regard for | his help wins loyalty and kindliness | from them, He who fails to be gen- | erous and fust to all those dependent | upen him falls to enjoy the trust and | confidence and respect of his fello men, The greatest captains of indus- | try have been those who were mo: consclous of the deserts of their wor men and of their obligationg to them | for all they have attained, The man who 1s too shortsighted to be just is ususlly too narrow and bigoted to be saved, JAPANESE VISITORS. The navy department has given no- tice that Admiral Ijichi's practice squadron with 180 cadets of the Ja anese navy will make a friendly at San Francisco the 25th of the ent month and expresses the hope tha they will be courteously received hospltably entertained, and this certainly the hope of the country, the Japanese so recently rece! own bluejackets and generously enter- tained them. Any manifestation of race antipathy at such a time would | be indeed unfortunate-as well as bru- tally {nimical. From San Francisco the battleships | Aso and Soya will sail for Seattle where they will visit the Alaska-Yu- kon-Pacific exposition, which promises to be & great falr worth going across | the continent to see. Any policy that | wil] promote good relations between the two governments should be fol- 10wed, for there Is no reason why Jap- an and the United States should not get along amicably and Jive in peate for many . years. We hope Admiral Ijichi and his cadets will have a very pleasant time on the Pacific coast DO WE PRIZE OUR TREES? There is no doubt every American community thinks that it prizes its trees, even those who have for a half- century been cutting out public shade trees without any pretense to restor- | ing them, with the result that New | England cities like Norwich have de- stroyed “undreds in the name of pub- lic safety and progress and made an end of some of the prettiest thorough- fares New England has ever known— avenues which could not be rehabili- tated in 100 years; and the devasta- tion 1s still golng on by men who do not realize that a handsome tree has | been regarded as worthy tho defense | of @ monarch. Beautiful shade trees are declared to be hyglenic as well as ornamental and the eim and linden trees of Holland are carefully tended | Dby the cities. The cost of this care per capita in| the different towns varies somewhat. | Last year, for example, Utrecht voted 21 cents (Dutch) to its trees for | each inhabltant and The Hague cents for each of its 53,000 citizens. It takes 2 1-2 Dutch cents to equal an American cent, About ten years ago the annual cost of caring for the trees of The Hague was 19 cents (Dutch) per capita, but since that time many new trees and shrubs have been plant- ed throughout the city and new parks Tald out. g ‘These magnificent old elms of ours are all worth preserving and should liave the attention which will keep them at thelr best—the pruning and the protective care against pests which the glaughter of birds for two centurles have made necessary de- THE ECCENTRICITIES OF FASH- ION. ‘Women of good taste are not taking idndly to the Easter hats and do not hesitate to condemn them as mon- atrosities. while the men look on and smile in a spirit of amused wonder. All the lines of beauty are defled In them; and, as a matter of fact, they are too crude to attribute to savage taste. These hats have been very properly described as Inverted coal- scuttles, Dath-tubs, flower-pots and Isundry-baskets with trimming as ad- verse to taste as the hats themselves. Perhaps the clergyman who declared that they were originated in hell was not so far out of the way, since it is not possible that the devil could by any poselbility have designed any- thing worse. “Better be dead than out of fashion” hag long Dbeen a re- the H Land and do great things, and hé has stacks of followers, and there you are!

Go‘t a mmu 1, lornlz g oing you get a upon_yoursel ‘What is life but a school of experience, and all of us in some direction have met with indifferent success; and there we have found our dlsappolntments, when we ehould have taken our cue. ‘Then we have looked back with regret instead of forward in hope.

Clapp said he was the one whowfirst gave the name ‘Rose of New England to Norwich in 1859, when it was put upon the arch— and ‘what reason is_there to doubt his word?” inquires J, Maples Standish of “The Man Who Talks.” No reason, whatever, Edward T. Clapp had the taste and the ability and the poetic feeling to originate the name. He was a_democrat who could keep the staunchest republicans his "friends. By Jove! he knew a good thing when {he produced it as well as when he saw | it, and let this be a memorial of him. The man who gave the name to Nor- wich gave it more than he realized and more than we can ever thank him for. It is passing strange that we have | such a poor opinion of “the under dog” when without him for contrast the up- per dog would lose more than half his glory. We are constantly being told that everything 1is relative In this world, even to relative truth, which | | may appear to be truth today and ®e proven to be false tomorrow. The greatest architect depends on the delv- er to strike the foundation for his great edifices and we are prone to say “What does the delver amount to? There couldn't be great bridges and | skyscrapers without him. He gets but | $1.50 a day but his work is the most important because it gives the secure foundation. The-under dog gives lu: ter to genius, don't you think that he doesn’t, and we are all so interdepend- nt that we cannot shine without some | contrasted light. The under dog is just | as important in his place as any one. It was a working girl who said “Be- cause one does stitching she need not think stitching,” and this’is one way of diverting the mind—of putting a buffer between one’s sélf and the ever- lasting grind. The mind should not | dwell upon fts chores, but upon its ideals. Many workers have been bless- |ed by this discovery. The first day of {work Hugh Miller found this out: and ' twenty years later, that the upper classes should not be permitted to get ahead of the lower cl in intelli- ; that knowledge held classes at it opened the door of opnor- at it” often makes men of | humble birth superior to men of noble | Dirth. The mind is the comforter, and wretchedness is the outcome of indo- lence and vain ambition oftener than anything elss “What a weak hold has that woman of her hushand’s heart who tles him only with a curl or a ribbon,” wrote Steele a century or more ago; and the weak hold has not disappeared from family life. Family life under the very Dbest of circumstances is service —self-denfal and self-sacrifice. There |is nothing like faithfulness and devo- |tion to keep husband or wife happy jand true or children respectful and tbedient. Those who depend upon the fluffy ruffles of life to satisfy them are usually disappointed. Pleasure Is not the aim of life_but attainment. When all duty is done pleasure is said to be | due. True pleasure is also found in love. Those who mistake frivolitles for ties that bind soon find themselves loosed. Too many mistake the shadow | for the substane If | remember right, “little pitchers have always had big ears,” and they Iways will have. A Norwich father learned the truth of this the other day | | when his ten year old boy at the tea table recently ‘assured him “Dad, I've got to have barrels of money and just as soon as I get a little bigger I'm go- ing to hustle for it!” ‘“That's right,” said pd, “but why do you say barrels, | why not have a’ few bushels of it?" iat wouldn't do,” replied the lad, for ma and Sue say her beau has barrels of it, and that #1l the girls are setling their caps for him. If a fellow wants all tbe girls to be setting thelr caps for him they've got to have bar- ‘rn]s of it ‘I like your style,” said Dad, “and you'll have all the politisians atter you, too! Goin to win.” and the |lad is ralsing a big resolfition béfore he has raised a moustache, “The season of the year is approach- ing,” writes a scribe, “when the girl who has such a sensitive throat that she does not dare to help her mother wash the dishes for fear of catehin, cold, will put her feet into open-worke hose and low shoes and meander on swampy ground to find @ few . May | flowers%or her beau.” 1 suppose that | there are girls who do such inconsist- ent things as this—who cover their {Jaziness with fear and uncover their health for love—bug they are not Ner- wich girls, for they are too sensible and too industrious and too thoughtful | of themselves and ma to sneak out of a duty'and tramp in a mudhole, The:s must ‘be down east girls who have In- herited throats that are more delicate than thelr feet. This Is a sad story if |it is not a base insinuation. Were you asked what ‘“glmme” means you would not recognize it as an English word, and you would not be to blame if you declared it to be mean- | ingless, but it isn't. It Is just as com- | mon as “guesso.” 'We all recognize it when me one savs on the street| “gimme a match.” We obligingly hafid 2 match over to the petitioner; but it is not confined to any particular class of people—all Americans have a way of clipping short words and bunching up sounds. The clerk at the postoffice | knows that o!d and young say “x | . postage stamp!" although they in- tend to pa for it: and in the stores the patron says “gimme” everything from a souvenir card to a silk dress | patiern, This is shocking to many who dike to hear words clearly enunciateq but the majority do not mind—they | haven't time to space thelr words so | they clip them in a way that is often | grotesque, but the world rolls on. | “I am glad you are knocking the woman who wears her hat in the plc~ | ture shows, after she has been po- litely asked to remove it by the management. Hit ‘em ag'in! I am spending my hard earned money to at- tend these plcture shows and these big hats rob me of rights. I hiss and make offensive remarks so the wearers | cen hear them, They seem to think that Ipay the price of admission to see their millinery nightmares!” writes a reader. He is hot and he is not to blame. The neck that can carry that kind of a rig aloft, is neck enough for anything, though. There is only one remedy for the men, and that is to all wear beav. ers, file Into the front seats and out- hog the hat hog. This would not be nice, but it would be a rightless sort of warfare. Look out for the police. How funny an old man or woman appears when trying to look young, in- stead of maintaining a fresh and nat- ural appearance.

The knitted brow and the goo-goo eyes are usually too un- natural to be attractive. It s a real worthy ambition to wish to look neat and attractive or to be prompt or spry— to be fine looking as young, middle- aged or old people. In this ambition the value of sunlight, fresh air and a good digestion must not be overlooked. You cannot jack-up what negligence or nature has knocked down. Deep- breathing and exercise will do more to preserve youth than kid gloves and a palr of spring-shankel pumps. Be temperate in all things. It is over- doing that breaks us down and wrink- les up our faces. Beauty at any age is simply naturalness becomingly ar- rayed. i SUNDAY NORN:NG T.1K i Frucassnsasenensoncane sssessnssesesses THE PLAY OF PERSONALITY. The more people we become ac quainted with the more we realize that we are in & world inhabited by all sorts and conditions of folks. And the more carefully we study the hu- man types, the optimist, the pessimist, the conservative, the radical, the indi- vidualist, the soclalist, the tree lance and the stand-patter, the more we are impressed with the part ehch has to play in life and with the spice which each has to contribute to the com- pound called human life. If the thoughts and habits of all of us ran in the same groove, i we were consti- tutionally alike, & would be just as stupld a world as it would bé if the same human faco were identically du- plicated in multitudes of individuals. So when you get to wondering wny neighbor Jones acts this way, and Deacon Smith that way, and wishing they were not #o “queer,” our sober second thought should suggest that these very human oddities are one tmpelling source of the world’s pro- gress. The play of personality is the onme thing that ought to be encouraged in every arema of life. Parents should sedulously cultivate it in their chil- dren. It is there at the start almost to an exasperating degree at times, and as the antics and ocaprices of the youngsters begin to become a lfttle wearisome, the first parental impulse fs to repress the expression of in- dividuality. The child may thereby ‘become a more comfortable child to et along with; but you may be hold- ng back or even extinguishing that which s most precious to him, name- 1y, the individual contribution that he has to make in the world. To be sure, today it takes the form of trying to set the parlor furniture on fire; but 20 or 30 years hence it may appear in the form of some invention or dis- covery, some poem or choice bit of literature. Our schools are organized today with a view to bringing out the personal note in each pupil, not to running them in the same mold. That is a big advance on the time wnen each little boy or girl was locked upon a8 a mold into which should be poured a stream of facts. The purpose now is to bring out the spark of criginality beneath each blue blouse. It ought to be a richer world fifty years hence, when the Individual re- Sources of every man are made con- tributory to the life of other men Meantime, we must learn to be toler- ant of those human types that relish and seek for satisfactions that do not appeal to us. You do not care for this or that system of hyglene. Verygwell, let it alone; but accord your neigh- bor full right to get along with one meal a day, ¥ he wants to, and to chew each separate morsel of food at least 32 times. You do not care for the great revival meeting, with its peal to the emotlons, and its catchy gospel tunes. Well, then don’t go and have your soul or your asthetic sensi- bilitles harrowed up. But aceord your nelghbor the privilenge of being help- ed and_uplifted by those same ser- vices new page in his moral history, be zlad that something has had that effect.

It will be trus for a long time to come that what is one man's meat is_another man's poison. We can in- struct, persuade and perhaps con- vince ‘our fellow men that there is a certain point beyond which we ought not to care to go in our invasion of the personal life. We want to give our own personality full play to make it count for all it Is worth, and we shculd be equally eager to preserye and put at the service of the world every ounce of individuality every man possesses—not his original sin or his inherited or chronic weakness; but the finest and most peculiar traits of his own personal spirit. No man can give anything better to the world than himself. Heaven offers the largest field of all for the play of personality, and for that reason it has gates on every side, on the north three gates, and on the east three gates, and on the south thres gates, and on the west three gates.
