New Hayen is pleased because Gov- ernor Weeks has vetoed the Festman ouating act because it was in effect an inwesion of the sovereignty of New Haven. The New Haven Courier- Journa) says: “We are quite ready to assent to the propoeition that a chief exscutive of the city of New Haven showld be extremely cereful to make appoint- ments to municipal boards which carry with them the assurance of faithful and disinterested service, and that he should be punished when he falls to do that, but we are equally ready to diesent when the proposition is made to sllow interested politiclans to mon- key with the charter in a manner which would never occur to them to do if it was their party that had sinned.” The Bulletin regards partisan work of this kind as most pernicious and peprehensible and it should be con- flemned in every city. “Home rule lor cities of Connecticut,” ought to be » good motto. That some state legisla- Mon is necessary to maintain equal vernment and financial balances for unfeipalitiegs has to be admitted, but there should not be meddlesome laws sed which are often more injurious an heipful to any city. Think of Representative Bishop's ysking: “Who makes governors, any way, in the state of Connectiout?’ Fhe people are supposed to, but some en become so dwarfed by partisan- m that they sincerely think that they Ro. Governor Weeks is all right. The i sesesnsasersenssven: rnor who stands against such ork stands for the people. FORESTRY IN VERMONT, ‘They are taking hold of forestry in earnest in Vermont and the work is #0 well advanced mow that it shows up meost cerditably for that state. The state forester, A. J, Hawes of Bur- lington, says: “Over 200,000 trees have been sold #80 far this season. The nursery at Burllngton has increased in size so that there are now 1,000,000 small trees being cultivated. This is certainly a very gratifying start. It is expected that the nursery there will attract large numbers of gightseers during the Champlain tercentenary there next menth. At that place all phases of forest life can be seen from the small- est seedlings up to trees three feet high.” Connecticut is making headway and )t will not be long before a forestry preserve in each county may be point-~ ¥ at with pride. FOR A SANE AND SAFE FOURTH. More cities are moving this year rr a sane and safe celebration of the ‘ourth than ever, and it Is likely that ;n léss time than it has taken to yass a parcels post law the patriotic )laughter of innocents upon Independ- )nce day wil] be reduced one-half. On Ihis question the little state of New Jersey appears to be alive all over, and the elties have passed ordinances and provided for extra police service with a view of making an end of it. Irhe Newark News says that “the peo- ple seem to be waking up to the dead- ly danger of the customary way of celebrating the day, and the tide of wigs sentiment and sound judgment is setting in strongly against it. “And why shouldn’t parents and people of mature years consider this matter in the light of the awful facts of former years? ng the figures for the flve celebrati of the Fourth of July, from 1903 to 1807 inclusive, it is seen thet 21,520 persons were in- Jured and 1,158 were killed. The most of these were children. How many more died from lockjaw resulting from wounds received on the Fourth of July these figures do not show, Is it any wonder that sensible peopls and wise officials are providing for a safe and sane celebration?" The Connecticut cities will make a move in this direction by and by. The man on the street car expressed the opinion that the Connecticut leg- islature would sit all summer; and his next neighbor remarked that they were s0 habituated to Hartford that they could not get away. The moccasin flowers are:sald to be unusually plenty in the woods of Cape Cod this spring. A bouquet of 175 were gathered by one party, ‘When the commencement is on the “old poy"” gives the youngsters exam- ples in “bigh jinks® . - of and is respons! for the gimuy rubbish heaps on some of our country England, whose name was Legion. Nine-tenths of the time he tilled his land and mended stone fences like a moral and intelligent heing; and the tenth part of the time a madness came upon him—an hereditary madness. He remembered subconscidusly how his ancestors wrested the soil from the forests, and did battle with the foes that lurked in their depths, and he seized his axe and went forth to take vengeance upon the forest, for the hos- tile front it showed his elders. But the forest was gone, and the only soil he could find to wrest was beside the two roads, on/each hand. This, then, he fell upen with right good will There were oaks, and these he cut down wastefully two feet from the ground and scattered their branches ahout. There were walnuts and birch- es and beeches, and he felled them all, and hewed them into bits. There was red cedar, with its priceless worth, and. its heart of fragrance, and this he hacked and haggled and utterly de- stroyed, Then he looked upon what he had done, and called it very good, and the madn left him. He never re- turned to finish clearing up the road- side. He never covered the bared rocks, or levelled the ragged banks. The ground bristled with stubble of trees, and their boughs rotted where they fell. “The only times when the man re- visited the roadside were when -he cast old stovepipes and broken china, in & heap, a few hundred yards from his dwelling. “What shall be done for the mad- ness of this man? He is not to be greatly frighted with droughts or floods, and he has no regard in his heart for the landscape. He does not desire shade trees. Would legislation avall for his cure, or phychotherapy, or beating with many stripes? If the last were done speedily, there are still birches by the roadsides wherewith to do it. But if he is not restrained be- fore long, New England will be, here and there among its towns, in like condition with Japan, which has no need to make laws to protect its birds, because the birds are all slaughtered.” “Legion” owns property in the city streets of Norwich and on all the country roads radiating therefrom. He is a near relative of Peter Tumble- down, who never fixes up. What to do with him the world has never found out, It lets him slouch along In the old way, as much of an eyesore him- self as the confusion and disorder he makes, and he is in no danger of re- straint.

Lawrence of New London left a fund of $500,000 for 2 hospital in that city, $100,000 for a building and $400,000 as an endowment fund to run it. He also gave his home to ba used as an emergency hospital, and, altogether, he did for the city in which he lived a very great and ad- mirable good. New London has had some considerable benefactions in the past, but none that we can recall equal to this. The city has reason to be thankful.—Bridgeport Standard, New London has wealthy men who contribute to its well-being -while alive; and those who provide for the comfort of the living a their demise. It only takes a few good examples to awaken a habit of this kind among men who have the means to help the community in which they were born or In which they spend their lives and made their money. The men who are conscious that wealth to a large de- gree is a trust fund do not neglect the use of a portion of it for the high pur- pose which reveals the depth of their hearts and the sincerity of their aims. New London is fortunate in this respect and should cherish the mem- ory of the men who contribute to her attractiveness and comfort. A Vermont jury gave a Caledonia county man as damages for the alien- ation of his wife's affections a verdict of $8,833.33. Any way one looks at these figures they look queer. There is hot a financier fn the country who can figure out how an Ameriean jury of twelve men could get so many fig- ure threes into such a damage account, If they could answer for the $33 they would not be able to for the 33 cents in estimating lost affections. These- figure threes must delight the eye of a policy player, and perhaps the jury knew more about policy than it did about the subject in hand. A Ver- mont paper tartly remarks: ‘“We can gee where the 33 cents is reached— for a Caledonja county wife's affec- tions—but where in the world the jury got the 38,833 is a mystery.” « EDITORIAL NOTES.

MANY HUSBANDS COOK THEIR OWN FAVORITE DISH. “What is your husband's chef @'oeuvre in the cooking line?” asked a young woman of her hostess. The hostess looked askance at her. “Why, what do you mean?” she in- quired in dubjous tone. “I mean just this—that I've visfted in no less than four different homes this year, and in each one the man of the house had some pet dish he made, so 1 fancled it must be a fad among men just now to do stunts in cuisine. I spent the week-end not long ago out on Long Island and to my surprise, the man of the house insisted on hav- ing the percolator brought to him aft- er ‘dinner so that he himself might brew the coffee. His wife smiled at me, and then at him indulgently, as if to say that she humored him to the extent of letting him do this eve: night.

I was very much interested in the concoction my host prepared. “He is an Englishman, and it seems his father used to do it before him, so%e always made the pilau—a com- bination of finan haddie. rice and hard boiled eggs—at the table. The maid brought him a platter of flaked fsh, a bcewl of hoiled rice and half a dozen hard boiled eggs, sliced on a plate. Then, h a large silver fork and spoon—and an almost beatific smile on his countenance—my good host proceeded to make his pilau, and T say that it was one of the nicest <t Jishes I have ever tasted. Only last Sunday another masculine masterplece in cookery came under my notice. We had all been to evensong when one of the young unmarried men in the party asked us to his apartment, with the promise that for tea we should have one of his own famous English pancakes. I discovered that while he considered himself the cook, all the resf of us stood about handing him the ingredients and his wife made one or two Important suggestions for which we ‘were thankful. After all was sald and done and we had duly complimented him on his skill, T real- ized that all he rei'ly had dope was to flap the pancakes over in the pan feat, “One of the unique examples of this fad was exhibited by the young southern husband of a friend of mine, with whom I spent a week. He makes beaten biscuit, and the whole house tren;bles’ with the noise of beating them .His wife absolutely forbids his doing it when the haby is asleep, but 1 was glad to be there when he made them, for they were very good. Now, don't you think I'm justified in believ- ing there must be a fall running riot among men for this sort of thing?" WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The Oldest Veteran. The oldest veteran on the United States pension list is thought to be Micajah Wise of Beaver Brook, Sulli- van county, New York state. He is 108 years old, although the pension rolls give his age as only 104. His family has absolute proof that he is four years older. He is in good health and likely to live for several years more ‘He was a cavalry soldier under Sheridan and was in the campagins in the Shenan- doah valley. He has just applied for an increase of pension and it was dur- ing his examination by the special ex- amining surgeon that his real age was discovered.
