It is now more than a quarter of a century since cotton manufacture was begun at the south and it was pre- dicted that the death knell of the cot- ton industry in the north had been struok, but cotton spinning and weav- ing here is as prosperous as ever, and the faith of our capitalists in the fu- ture of the business is shown by the mil bellding now in the works, Discussing this subject, the United States Investor says: “That there is confidence in the futwre is splendidly demonstrated by a visit to Lawrence, first, where the largest development is under way, and where President Wood is putting up the largest worsted yarn mill in the world; whera the great Pacific mills are expending large sums of money in enlarging and re-equipping; where the Hverett mills are putting up new buildings and equipment; where the Arlington is about to break ground for & new yarn mill, and where the Atlan- #ic cotton mills are putting in new equipment In a liberal way. “Then go up to Manchester, and there the Amoskeag is putting up, sim- ply as one unit to their big property, a set of mills equal to two or three medium sized mills of the Fall River and New Bedford standard. Over at Lewiston, Me., the Hill Manufacturing company is enlarging by somse 240,000 spindles, and plans are being made for a new mill and some important changes are about due that will in- crease Lewlston's importance on the textile map very substantially. At New Bedford ground is broken for two standard mills, the Dartmouth en- largement equals another new mill, and plans are being worked out for stfll another fine goods plant, and we expect this will be ready for ma- ohinery before snow flies next winter. “At Fall River, all the new mills have not yet been announced, but two at Jeast will be built before the close of 1910. The Davis mills’ development about doubles the capacity of that peoperty, and there are few, If eny,| Fall River mills not engaged in new construction and replacement of old equipment with that of the latest pat- tern. There is a well directed move- ment to get mew enterprises to locate in Rhode Island, and at Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, particularly, there are large new eonstructions and re-equipment. A new cotton mill is to be put up at Manville in that state, end there {s little doubt that Woon- socket will get one or two new French | coneerns before the close of 1910. The Frenech Spinning company In that ecity )8 practically doubling its plant, ac-| cording to agreement, and the other epinning mills on the French system are enlarging more or less all the time, At a conservative estimate, $35,000,000 will be expended in new mills and equipment and in replacement of old | equipment, during the next twelve | months.” There 8 no weakness—no lack of fatth here. There is no competition | south which can affect the fine cotton goods of New England, simply be- | cause we have the atmosphere In| which spinning can best be done. The | attempt to create artificial conditions | lo meet the requirements has failed, and New Fingland stands first for the best goods woven In America. THAT IRKSOME FEELING. ‘Thie i{s the time of year we all have that tired feeling, The man and the woman in the factory look out of the | windows upon the glittering water and green fields and long for opportunity to stroll—the school children see the fowers and the sunshine and hear the birds sing and they, too, hear the call of the wild. The teacher who has Yo enforce discipline and hear the dasses in arithmetic and geography wmnd reading, spelling and writing can- ot help feeling what a joy it would be to have less care and confinement, 1nd a larger opportunity to stroll, We Jeel tired of the task and yearn for Ireedom and rest. Few of us are immune to these long- ngs of the spring; but we do not ealize how widespread this irksome leeling is—that the boss feels it as nuch as the workman; that the teach- ir feels it as deeply as the pupll; that he minister feels it as keenly as his Jock. We should rather be where he birds sing and the fish bite and he flowers bloom than to be delving or our daily bread or deliverance from gnorance. This feeling is what gave birth to the summer vacations, short and long, and we are all going to humor it a lit- tle, by and by. Everybody Is, or should be, working on honor now so| they may enjoy the rest by and by; and the children in the schools are striving to stand well in their exam- ‘inations because of the pleasure it wil] afford them and their teachers. These are anxious weeks just now for teach- ers, because the standing of the classes means success or fallure In their work. ‘We all should be inspired to do our very best because It means so much to us and others and because com- mendatory endeavor always increases life’s pleasure, AN ANNIVERSARY FEATURE. Springfield, Mass., is booked to cel- ebrate the 57th anniversary of its in- corporation as a city this month and a feature of the event Is the exploita- tion of her achievements in the field of Industry. To this committees were formed to get all manufacturers, wholesalers, ang retailers to make an effort to call attention to their prod- ucts. The retailers were asked to have enniversary sales of Springfield prod- ucts, to advertise especially the Springfield products which they sell, and to give prominence on their count- ers and in their windows to Springfield made goods. The manufacturers were asked to help along the anniversary by making sure that retailers hand- Lng their products were well supplied. The advertising committee of the oard of trade wil] furnish placards, upon which will be printed, “Spring- field product.” These are intended to be conspicuously placed on goods made in the city and its suburbs. Springfield, in the heighth of its pleasure, does not mean to lose sight of its business interests, A city or town's business Interests are a good thing to be kept first all the time be- mmhm hinges all its pros- | propriation. | things looked into, or there's no look- i perity and . are the source of its thrift and joy. The Norwich board of trade two years ago had a very successful local exposition of this kind and why is it not good enough to repeat in our proud moments as evidence of our present accomplishments? In industry we have grown since 1859—we are making less rope and more rifles— catching less siad and more suckers, Springfield can make a fine display of home manufactures and home man- ufactures are what give character and thrift to a city. THE EAST WIND. The open sea and an east wind are midsummer blessings all desire and which only comparatively few enjoy. This is what called Taft to Beverly— what prompted him to pass Jersey and Connecticut in seeking a summer home for his family, It is proclaimed at Boston that “the east wind is physi- cian in ordinary to all the millions within its cooling and caressing influ- ence. A Boston writer says “A sum- mer night with an east wind chant- ing its sea song below and aloft be- neath the softened stars, is one of the loveliest things that Boston has to boast. This blessing comes heralded with the most deliclous appeal to all the senses, and especially to the sense of smell, for it bears upon its bosom that health-connoting odor of the un- contaminate sea which man with ail his ships has not been able to tame or to soil. It is the Beverly Farms, the Mount Desert, the Cape Cod of the crowded thousands who summer in town. “Boston's east wind s not only the chief physiclan of the town, its un- paid and ever watchful board of health but also its most effective atmospheric decorator. The aesthetic value of the east wind in such a climate as Bos- ton's cannot be overestimated. It is the east wind that brings to the skies of Boston those pellucid, pearly grays through which the sun almost breaks in thin places. This skyey aspect is commoner here than elsewhere. It has an April quality, but it may come at almost any season, and is not un- common even between mid-February and the end of May. “As a colorist the east wind exhibits its skil] in the almost unmatched sun- sets of the Boston suburbs.” And the east wind of Boston 1s the east wind of the North shore, and it there gives pearly skies and brilliant sunsets and beautiful landscapes and vigorous health. It was the call of the east wind that took Taft to Bever- 1y. A BIG INFANT INDUSTRY. The moving picture business is a most phenomenal industry, There is 50,000,000 invested in the business; thére are 7,000 places of exhibition; the films shown daily measure 190 miles, and the daily attendance is 4,000,000 persons. At the average rate of speed four- teen separate pictures pass the eye every second that the machine is in motion, so that every day making of thege fllms is in itself an enormous business. The organization which con- trols them not only has agents photo- sraphing scenes in every part of the world, but maintains theaters and out- of-door sestablishments, where com- plete plays and al] sorts of other ac- tivities are presented before the cam-. era. Tt is the poor man’s recreation and the delight of Young America, It is young and crude still and it is rec- ognized that depictions of train rob- beries, kidnappings, and arson, drunk- enness, assaults and murders, have | anything but a salutary effect upon the minds of spectators, especially in the case of youthful persons, who at- tend moving-picture performances in great numbers, and efforts are being made to make them better—to make them beneficlal instead of soul har- rowing and harmful. Nine of the larg- est concerns in the United Stateg and Europe recently combined. They now censor all films and say they will ef- face the viclous features of the busi- ness.. This is what will have to be done all along the line. * There are too many fake films and too few great films. May the time come when great pictures and pure humor wil] com- pletely fill the bill. EDITORIAL NOTES. The rhubarb pie has to give up the ghost when the strawberry shortcake appears, Happy thought for today: Cut down your expectations one-half and your 'disappointments will be as much less. John L, Sullivan appears to e enough for Cupid. He has signed to have another bout with Dan for a referee. It is easy to call a multimiilionaire a philanthropist; but it is not easy to figure out how he became entitled to the title. St. Louis claims to have a citizen who “sleeps in a cemetery and snores for wages.” Norwich has one or two of that class. If Mr. Lake saves the public utili- ties bill from rejection he will en- dear himself to most of the late Gov- ernor Lilley’s friends. Some men need the homing-pigeon habit. Tt would be a great comfort to their families and save them many a dollar and hours of pain. The danger of allowing strangers to come into the house when alone has been shown by the number of assaults recently made upon women. Anna Held has earned a million and is mow about to live on her income. She was a bright star, but she has become weary of just shining. Rich men have no more faults than poor ones, but they are the subjects of envy and get all the abuse that is due them, and sometimes more. The Jersey reformers who wanted to investigate ice could not get an ap- It takes money to have ing. The total capital of the world-is estimated at only fifteen billlons—but this is the working capital, and it does a tremendous amount of busi- ness! Salome appears to be a popular name for female, elephants. This may be because they are unconscious of clothes although they carry a trunk for style. A Michigan judge save a culprit prosecuted for having two wives two days in jall. He must have thought his marital conditions had been pun- ishment enoup™ “Expression is the dress of thought,” and most_thought should be’ better dressed. this has been made apparent to you, some time, when you have been reading this column. I have seen it in that light myself. I have noticed thought beggarly dressed when it was not my own. The fact is that the thought parading in ev- eryday dress looks very common; and to some conceited persons this is very shocking, indeed. I do not sup- pose that it can be helped. Man is prone to express himselt according to his feelings rather than according to the dictionary, grammar or prayer- book. It is well enough to measure cne’s words and to know how they und as wel] as what they mean. It «s time enough to “talk llke Robin’ Hood when you can shoot with his ‘Ttow.” It has been written that “it is bet- ter that a coat should fit the con- science than that it should fit only the body.” It is very important that it should fit the purse and the station in life. So you see here are four fits a coat should have, and the tailor can only be held responsible for one of | them. The tailor can make us look like a fashion plate; and like a fool if we- will ald him. We can look like a dude if we try, but the only place in which a dude looks natural is standing in front of clothing stores for a sign. A clerical suit may be just as necessary as a policeman’s or a car conductor’s, but the majority of people seem to like a clean, unconven- tional suit for all purposes. Any man with a real business manner looks well in a stylish business suit. When the voice of the oriole comes from the tree-tops the first time in May it carries gladness to my heart, for it is the real greeting of an old friend. How his golden plumage flashes in the light as he darts in end out of the elms; and what a beau- tiful contrast it imakes among the apple blossoms of May . He learned | long ago to hang his nest high(in the elm—out on the lithe boughs, where no creature can reach it, and where it rocks in the wind like a boat on the bosom of the deep. How It keeps its eggs intact—how Its young manage to hold to the nest one can hardly imagine; but they brave the storm like those who sing “It won't be long, we'll anchor by and by.” How the robin got his golden hue no one can tell, but it is a challenge to the genius of art which never can be fully met. The dandelion which stars the lawn is an enemy of the grass or we should not every spring clean it out. It is as cute as cute can be, for it lies flat and only hoists its flower which is its invi- tation to the bees when it is ready for fertilization; and then fertilized the seed pod lles flat again and escapes even the lawn mower, but when its seeds are mature—its balloon has de- veloped—Iit raises Its stem so that its seeds can make their flight and settle apon other congenial land. This wind- carried seed s what makes it neces- sary every year to remove from the lawn a hundred or two. If they are neglected they Increase and spread and kill the grass, making great bare spots when they are removed. The dandelion is one of our hardiest and most persistent flowers and as an edi- ble plant is in high favor for the table in the spring. My crab apple tree is a bank of bloom and an example of what man can do with the sourest fruit of the wild. It is natural fruit glorified, and it s a picture in bloom and a picture in fruit, for its bright red apples have the gloss of the ruby. If left to ma- ture on the tree it loses its tartness and its jelling qualities and becomes a mealy, edible fruit which is pleasant eating when stewed or even eaten raw, The difference between Burbank and the men who have made a hundred varieties of orchard apples from the wild apple, a score of varieties of gar- den plums from the sloe, and@ many large and juicy cherries from the wild cherries, is that he is commercially ex- ploited, which i= a twentieth century fashion not much to be commended. Men have been doing great things in the garden for a thousand years. Mr, Burbank is not the only pebble on the beach. People have their favorite flowers, and why should they not have.their favorite birds? Most of the time I think that the wood pee-wee is my favorite bird. When I was a boy I used to like to hear its musical call with the em- phasts upon the pee. I used to climb over the rocks in an old quarry, three sides of which were rough and rocky, | and high up on those rough walls of | stone those small birds built their nests: and I used to admire thelr lit- tle white eggs which I used to risk life and limb to view. T do not remember that I ever robbed one of their nests. And once, later in life, when I was in a fever and had been taking quinine, I heard in my delirlum the wind howling through the forest trees and the note of this one little bird often repeated—pee-wee. It was a joyfui and soothing sound to me, for I had not heard one for many years. I can- not forget it, for it sound. is a pleasant The time to plant dahlias seems to be when the spirit moves, Some plant- ers have had roots in the ground for a fortnight or more, and others will not have them all planted before the middle of July The dahlia is not a hot weath- er flower—it does its best when the nights are cool. The premium taking exhibitors do not plant till June, and where they make a business of it and have from 10 to 35 acres, it is some- times near August ist when the last roots are put in the ground. From planting roots to flower is about six weeks, and sometimes from seed to flower is no longer than that. Those who desire good blooms about the first of August can plant any time from now on. The early flowering plant. do not sustain big blooms into mid-September, | when most exhibitions are held. | | 1 cannot imagine what the moving | picture show expects to reap from poorly taken and poorly shown pictures of old Norwich. Among a lot shown recently, alleged to have been taken about 1870, was one of the Park Con- gregational church, when, as a matter of fact ground was not broken for th church until after the spring of 1. There are a few old churches in Nor- wich, but the Park church is not ons of them. The pictures are not explain- ed and some of them mystify old res dents, for they are certainly unidenti- fiable. The moving pictures are the drawing card, and pity it is that so many of them are representative of crime and domestic horrors. Thurston Lillibridge appears to be a keen observer of birds, and he shows us that the robin built a house in a day before Edison ever found a way to do it. How do you suppose that robin redbreast ever became a mortar and cement worker. Science tells us that all of our birds evoluted from reptiles, and a real expert sclentist might ac- count for it by saying that the robin knew the qualities of clayey mud be- fore it had feathe: but T do not know about that. The swallows and the pee- wees are cement workers, t0o. Proba- bly they learned their trade where the vireo and the sparrow learned to weave together grasses and strings and horse- hairs into neat nests. This nest-build- ing is more mysterious and wonder- ful than we think. Everyday miracles become commonplace things to man. Some people truly think that Ner- wich hasn’t advanced any in half a century when they are the sleeping ones who do net, realize that it has Als af the L] “Where did you move to on May 17" asked Schockery of his friend Burns, as they met on the downtown corner. “I haven't moved yet,” replied Burns. “T've got to go somewhere soon, for the owner of the building where T live is only waiting to get rid of me before pulling it down.” “It ought to be eugcto find another place to live,” sald Schockery. “You have a husky salary, so you don’t mind the price. “T also have a husky bunch of kids,” sald Burns, “and on that account I can't get a flat at any price.

" SUNDAY MORNING TALK i Tiesesessasasessene sesassssassasesseses THE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE. About the worst thing t&t a man can nurture within' his breast is a grievance; but it is one of the easiest things to foster. Weeds grow faster tkan flowers, and evil tendencies with- in-us often outstrip the good. A grievance grows like a snowball when the snow is damp. It begins as a iittle pinprick of resentment arising from real or fancied injury. It ends as a mountain which shuts out aview “he smiling landscapes beyond it. Nur- ture this viper long enough and you will even suspect your closest friends, think and talk of nothing else, lose sleep that was meant to refresh you, become sour, and finally end up in the madhouse. Not that everybody who allows a grievance to grow within them comes to this deplorable end; but he canmot help being warped in his judgment and made less pleasant to live with and less capable of doing well his part of the world's work. Here is a man who has a grievance against some organ- izatlon with which he was once con- nected. Possibly it may be the Christ- jan church. He thinks that he has heen unjustly treated or overlooked or altogether ignored; henceforth he will not give a cent to the support of the institution or favor it with his pres- ence. He looks upon those still loyal to it as misgulded hypocrites. Nurs- ing his grievance day by dav he pulls further and further away from an in- stitution of which he was once fairly fond, and all because of some perhaps minor slight of bygone days. Grievances agalnst other individuals embitter life for not a few persons. A disagreement, perhaps, On_non-essen- tlals led to misunderstandings, harsh words and permanent estrangement, and now when Smith thinks of Jones he does not remember Jones' many ex- cellent qualities, his generosity, his hospitality, his friendliness, but simp- ly that one unfortunate episode when he and Jones grew warm under the collar, perhaps shook their fists in each othar's face and went away sworn enemies. ‘ Grievances against men are bad enough, but when cherished against God they shadow and narrow the life cherishing them. God has done some- thing or permitted something to be done that you cannot understand. It has been a hard experience and the first impulse Is to deny the existence ot a Father in heaven, or, if adreitting it, to vow that you will have nothing more to do with such a God, who can let such things happen to you. You condition your belief in him and your something will turn up.” “It's to do it quick, then,” sald thought of bu; a halloon and ) nony the cl . mnodu;m 1 fasten e guy ropes grwe“ mr‘ty. People say we would be ropping utensils every once in a while messing up their d I ibe it,” satd Burns. ?rgggt boll';vo it would be either com- fortable or healthful."—Chicago News trust in him on his acting just as you want him to act. Trom the point of view of striot fm tice, there is just emough in almost every grievance to e it easy to cherish it, provided ome is so dis- posed. None of us likes to be injured by any one else. Something within us smarts under the blow and we say: “This is not fair.” But does that jus- tify the fostering of this sense of be- ing unjustly treated? The best thing to do with a grievance Is to bury it out of sight, to stifie it before it is fully born, for, depend n it, the nurtur- ing of it will magnity the original of- fense far beyond its due proportions and make your own life thereafter all the weaker and more PPy Think, when disposed to cherlsh a grievance, whether there may be no cne else in the world wh has occasion to feel resentment toward you. Have you been so considerate, so absoiute! scrupulous in all of your dealings wit! your fellow men that no one has any occasion to feel sore or wounded with respect to you? Life ought to be full of confident trust in God, even though we cannot explain all his dealings with us and our fellow men, and life ought to be so full of loving service for those about us that we shall have neither time nor disposition to cultivate any sense of being injured by others. Let it smart if it will, for a moment, then bury it forever. THE PARSON. What He Got for Moeing Potatoes. Now I want to speak foya few mo- ments on the subject of lumber and in relation to the tariff. The present tar- iff on common lumber is $2 per thou- sand feet. If this Payne bill in its present form shall become a law it will reduce the tariff on common lumber from $2 to $1 per thousand feet. The other d4ay when I objected to this reduction the gentieman from New York (Mr. Payne) said with evident feeling that I would better accept that reduction or lumber might go on the free list entirely. That reminds me of an incident that happened in the good old state of Iowa a good many years ago On a very hot summer day there was a small boy hoeing potatoes in a farm lot near the roadside. A very fine, magnificnt looking gentleman rode by in a covered bu, with soft cushions. He looked over the fence at the boy, who was perspiring freely, and sal “Bub, what do you get for hoeing these potatoes?” And the boy said: “T get nothin’ if I do—and hell iIf I don't.” (Laughter.) ‘Well, Mr. Chalrman, it seems to me that that incident presents a very graphic picture of the mental attitude of my friends from New York in ref- erence to the lumber schedule. He pro- poses to give me nothing f T submit— and something worse if I don’t.—From Talk in the Senate.
