The pace which Mrs., Howard Gould sot for haerself appears to be defensi- ble upon the ground that she gave work to scores of persons and kept her liberal allowance of cash in speedy circulation. She put out $300 a day, and her dress cost her from $35,000 to $40,000 a year. Although some of her suits cost $600 each, she declares that no woman In her class would be in good form to wear the same dress twice. It has not been dis- closed what was dome with Mrs. Gould's once-worn clothing, but it is apparent enough that she had enough to run a little second-hand clothing stors on her own account, and that some one must have been benefited by the disposal of her clothes, as well as by making them, goes without say- ing. ,The $91,000 a year she spent 88 than 10 per cemt. of her hus- band's income, so proportionally she may be reckoned as operating within the economies of high domestic life. Mrs. Gould made the needles fly and the wheels of industry hum in & way which prevents a denial that ehe was a public benefactor. She promoted ‘both trade and labor. It is not likely that the court will sympathize with her in her idea that 10 lady can live on less than $175,000 @ year, the sum which she demands for alimony, but, considering Mr. Gould’s financial ability, the court is likely to allow her what the world will consideral . a liberal maintenance. WHAT SHOULD BE THE AIM IN LIFE. It Is well for every person to have an aim in life—to be set upon ac- vomplishing something creditable to amselt —of doing something for the berefit of mankind. We have now reached the days when the chairman of the school board ad- dresses the members of the graduat- ‘ng class and in well-chosen words at- tempts inspire them to hold in view as ap ambition a governorship or the presidency, but since not one in ten thousand are likely to accom- plish such a self-imposed task, The Bulletin would suggest a simpler pur- pose. A great ambition often proves to be more than one poor soul can carry. The way to great things is by simple methods. The one resolve for every young person to make is that ge will lead a temperate, honorable and useful life. The way of useful- Xess is the way to popularity, and the way of popularity often leads to great sponsibilities and high station. hers 8 no attainment which tells more certain for spccess in any walk »f life than self-dontrol backed by Bn unselfish disposition. An ambition to do things right is the straight way to eventually be called upon to do things great. ‘What is greatness? The greatest men of all time have been martyrs for right, not conquerors of their fellow- men. Being gentle, and courteous, and usetul, fs to become an ideal citizen; and this is worthy the endeavor of every youth who is just entering into life's competitions with a hope of win- ning the best the world holds in store for man. BACK TO THE LAND. There are two things that anybody fs supposed to have skill enough to do—edit a newspaper or run a farm These are not popularly regarded as smployments of learning or skill, and Jrom time to time it is brought to Hght even through the press that any pne should be able to enter success- Rully upon elther employment. Is there a greater fallacy extant than that the poor of the cities would be self-supporting farmers in the country. Every branch of industry is Dbased upon knowledge and the know how is as necessary for the trench- digger in the city streets as for the furrow-maker in the rural districts. What if Uncle Sam has seven hun- dred million acres of public lands which may be reclaimed and made productive and profitable? It is not the men and women in the crowded cities who can make these acres wave with growing grain. They have been taught various industries—they know how to work In shops and factories and yards, but what do they know about mellowing up the soll even after it has been cleared and putting in two bushels of seed potatoes and tak- ing out forty bushels? They know how to do lots of things and how to do them well, but When it comes to de- veloping primitive acres and making them productive they are as children— thelr chance of starving at such work is better than their chance of prosper- ing. What do they know or care about pure country air, pretty rural scenery or simple farm food, or re- freshing, open, country nights? They have been brought up to basement lite in'the big cities, are fond of city crowds and city excitements and city opportunities, and are useful where they be, but would be utterly help- less where many reformers would place them for their own good and betterment. It may be timely right Tere to quote: ‘“The toad beneath the harrow knows Exactly where each toothpick goes; © The butterfly upon the road Preaches contentment to the toad.” How we view one another depends “largely upon our experience and this is what often makes the judgment of ' one class look like humor to another class. ‘The state highway commission of New Jersey has ordered a map made of the proposed ocean beach boulevard for that state. Getting it on paper has been no easy matter. The senate really appears to be dnclined to arrange matters so that the Sugar trust can get a rake-off _ of a few millions every year from the Cuba sugar-crop. Happy thought for today: Two |/ weeks from -this day Norwich will _have its jubliee front on. e AU catharo-can s & metrop- olis for flles and a menace to a whole At last the great forests est fire is when it is getting way, but unfil this late day forest fires have been left to burn out unless homestead buildings or towns were in danger of being swept from existence. New York is the first state to pro- tect its forests, and it has done so by establishing four fire-fighting sta- tions with permanent watchmen, in the Adirondacks. This action comes s0 late that one editor captiously re- marks: = . nyone who has seen the Adiron- dacks after last summer's reign of devastation will wonder what the war- dens are to save from fire. ' Future generations among the bare hills of the Adirondacks, when the value of forest lands, for water power, soil- saving and flood prevention is gen- erally known, will ask what would have been the result if prevention in- stead of protection had been employed. They will inquire, perhaps, what would have happened if the rallways had been made to burn oil, or use eleciric- ity, or pay for the damage the sparks from their locomotives began. They will wonder at the carelessness of the public in letting fires start at all, or not fighting them when they got head. way, as was the common attitude a few years ago.” These great fires are preventable, and it is probable that other states, like Maine and Michigan, will guard their forests from the fires which annualiy rage through them, destroy. ing millions of feet of lumber. OPENING THE DOOR OF ACHIEVE- MENT. The trades school bill just passed by the legislature appears to be endorsed by wisdom. If the work is properly carried out it may be made of great usefulness and helpfulness to boys. Many a youngster goes wrong because of the lack of training that gives self- respect and awakens ambition and a desire to make the most of himself. Opening the doors to achievement is never a mistake. There is plenty of latent mechanical ability and good stuff in thousands of youngsters, now running wild and useless. Today it is a difficult thing for most lads to get a chance to learn a trade. The state board of education has a difficult but mighty important task in intelligently carrying out the provisions of this new law. We could wish that it had fallen in other hands, but this board may happily disappoint us.—Bristol Press. It is surprising that these sehools are opposed by federated labor. Any- thing which increases the efficiency of labor tends. to increase wages. There is little danger that efficient warkers will become too numerous. The higher the average intelligence of the work- men the better are the conditions of industrial life likely to become. Ig- norance, prejudice and supreme self- ishness have been the cause of some of our greatest labor contests. There is no science in capital and labor get- ting apart, science only applies to the exercise of an amicable spirit. Let the boys learn the rudiments of trades and prepare themselves to be- come captains of industry. EDITORIAL NOTES. The debates on the dlamond nowa- days sre a leetle hotter than the de- bates in the senate upon the tariff. It costs the Goulds a good deal of money to suppy such racy reading about their family affairs to the pub- lie. Since Senator Bulkeley has told the people briefly just what the tariff is, what is the use of elaborating upon it? There is no doubt that Wall street needs the noon prayer meeting, but it will take more than that to make it white, The men who play checkers in the country store might, with the same application, become Marconis, or Wrights, ot Bkl St The American citizen who returned 98 cents to the government conscience fund myst have had a mind that ev- ery little thing disturbs. Miss Wright is showing the world that in the end it is well to stick by two fools, especially when they are members of the famil. The reason Claus Spreckles gives for remaining a bfchelor is that he is too rich to wed. No woman will rd- gard this as a good reason. When Senator* Bulkeley got the Fil- ipino cigar limit cut in two, the to- bacco raisers of Connecticut uttered blessings for their true friend. It the committee does not look out, the great anniversary parade may be 80 long that there will be only roof for it to be a standing exhibit. The question of adjournment excites controversy and confusion in the leg- islature. The people ought to fix the question for the good of the state. If Mrs. Howard Gould had been the mother of half a dozen girls and had them {o dress, what a busy metropolis she would have created around her. Democrats are so scarce now that Colonel Bryan does not venture to read any of them out of the party. He only sees that they are properly re- buked. Sometimes a deacon is caught try- ing to pass a poor nickel upon a trol- ley conductor. This is what makes conductors suspicious even of evan- gelists. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. A Plea for Control. We would not advocate the depriva- tion of the American boy of his fira- crackers. for we believe we can even row enjoy setting off a few packs o rselves. And Wwe can see no harm in this innocent amusement provided there is combined with it some time during the holiday some means of in- ctiling into a boy a proper compre- hension of what he is celebrating for. But of late years the day's doings in many of the cities have not beerl con- fined to the use of harmless firecrack- ers. There have come into use var! cus kinds of firearms which are rec- nized as dangerovs. And many times they are in the hands of for- eigners or others who have no con- ception of the meaning of the day, nor &ny ldea of how to use the weapons with Judgment. We agree with the gentiment that such doings should be prohibited by law.—Middletown Sun. Rockville.—The baby fawn found a few days ago by C. M. Pinney of Bol- ton is flourishing finely, and is to be kept by the family as a pet, the game .warden having granted permission. 'This was not an original thought, but e T < s . i i W Wil S| ; reople buf 2 ; commonly and without imagingtion or beauty such are dull enough. If we are without freshness or originality in our thought and are mastered by no ideals; we are of the common people. Tt is not of money or learning or conceit, but of the mind and its aspirations. “As a man think- eth in his heart, so is he,” declared the prophet, and this is true. The truest of men do ot live to themselves alone, for that is the narrowest concept to which life can,be devoted, and it is dwarfing. It is the mind that finds love and learns how to abide in love toward its fellows which has become amancipated. The hog must always be eliminated before the man can truly assert himself. The man who can sense his relation to all things is the one who can become conscious of truth. This is true. There is a great deal of talk about the average man, but who ever met him? I mistrust that there is more than one average man.® According to statistics the average wage is $10.08 a week, and the men who get the aver- age wage must COme Very uear peing one kind of average men. And there are men who earn less than the average wage, and others who earn no wages but are willing to take their maintenance out of the average man’s wages. Beheld from the lowest view point, the average man must be a bene- factor. There must be somewhere a mental average, and somewhere else an average of skill and the averaga mar must be In both. The average man is not quite as hard to locate as the mdgnetic pole, but the last aver- ages are not as easy to locate as the first. When it comes to regulating the des- tiny of their children no parents are smart enough to do it. A great many parents have tried and failed, and a great many parents have had to en- dure the woeful results of meddlesome- ness who meant well but did .not know. That phrase covers a multitude of parents and don't you think that 1t doesn't, The pair in this world who know that they mismated themselves enjoy it the most—don't forget this, and those who cannot forget the well intentioned regulator have hard work ever to forgive him or her. Everybody has his own life to live—his own way to make—this is the inexorable law of nature, and no one else can live it for him. The quicker parents become con- scious of this the better it is for all concerned. I notice that young America begins to play ball before he is five, and tnat he can master baseball language long before they can hit the ball. Baseball language as a four year old puts it out is not, fit to print. It is often hotter than a professional would dare to use straight. They can play ball Monday morning without mixing a bit of Sun- day school language in their utterances although they were in their class the day before. They never say anything about fouls or errors, but they steal bases, make home runs and when con- ditions become too confusing hit one nother instead of the ball. They kick and cry and swear—laugh and shout and encourage one another, and tne fans shout and dispute just as the regulars do. Baseball is an exciting game whether played by adults or in- fants. I saw the first swallow this year on Flag day, June 14th. Others may have seen it sooner. It is the best emblem of industry that wings its way acro the sky. It often seems to be at play when it is at work. Perhaps it under- stands the philosophy of making play of work. It'ls a great Insect catcher and it destroys more mosquitoes than any other bird I know of. It makes a noise with its wings while in flight which resembles the twang of a violin string, and the closest observers at- tributed this strange sound to Iss mouth, and up to the day of Auaunon it was not realized that it produced it with its wings, as the locusts produce sounds with their wings, but In a dif- ferent way. They have a graceful swing in the air and for cutting curves and gliding have no peers on the wing. They are masters of flight and are always pretty on thebwing. | heard a little fellow asking his companions one day this week “What is the greatest exercise in the world?” That was quite a question for a seven year old boy to ask of a company of infants. Only one of them ventured to say “What?” Had his auditors been adults it is questionable if they could have done much better. He replied: “Sitting still for fifteen minutes with- out moving 'a hair—sitting silent!” it showed that he fad a mind to grasp it, if not to understand. He did not know there was a cult that professes to gain bodily strength and mental equilibrium by going into the silence— by obeving the command: “Be still and know that I am God.” The intultive conclusion is that it cannot be done, and so few ever try it. It is simply the way to_self-control—the way to greatness. Out of it grew the affirma- tion “He who conquers his own spirit is greater than he who ruleth a city.” We' have many precious things we do not prize. All people do not understand bird talk, and they do not sense from the noise the birds are making in the early morning that there is trouble in bird- dom, that an aceident or a tragedy has unbalanced bird life, has brought grief home to bird hearts, Every now and then I hear the anxious robin uttering cries of alarm in the early morning which in_years agone made me think of cats. T then did not know that the robins might be agitated by the first flight of their brood or by a squirrel that had robbed its nest of eggs, or by many things. besides the presence or strategy or achievement of cats. The robin at best is a senseless fusser and it exposes itself' to danger and its young brood to harm by its inability to keep still. Compared with the cun- ning of the partridge, how silly and wealk it appears to be, We love robin redbreast because he is domestic—he builds in our trees, exploits the newly dug ground in the garden for worms and sings up and sings down the sun: but he has many natural enemies, and he exposes himself to harm by his ceaseless cries. How the aged like. to dwell in the past. It is a fact that the reminis- cencing of old age is the joke of youth; and youth finally changes places with old age and neither lessens its garru- Jousness or improves its reminiscences. Youth does not understand how the cemeteries—the silent cities of popu- lous centers—become a book of the past to men who, as some have de- clared of themselves, “were born too “have' lived too long." vs they played with and the girls they loved, with the parents who trained them, are lying there beneath the grass in the shade of the elms and the birds have been singing above them lo, these many years. They are not of what is, but of what was; and none of them can tell when this change took place—just when they woke to find that the world was behind them —not before. It is a change évery per- son becomes conscious of some day, but no one knows exactly when. They are in the sunset of life and pity it 1s that the' sky does not always look rosy to them all as the sun goes down, d by the uncon- e insects to plants and indirectly to man. As a hybridizer of flowers the best man is a fool com- pared to the insect worker. In the fleld of flowers the work of bug and man stand forth, and the bug wins.

It would make life so much eas- Jer! Tt seemed quite a normal ides of mine to cleat up the yard. Most yards with which 1 have ‘been acquainted have got themselves cleared up each spring_ without causing a_convulsion of nature. Therefore, with trusting innocence, I turned back after a cas ual conversation with the hotel care- taker and hailed him. “‘Please send the boy over who worked here last year) said I ‘Tve got_work for a day or so for him.’ “Then I got my first jolt. The care- taker was impassive, but all the na- tives over here are impassive. ‘Oh, Art? queried the caretaker. . ‘He's Working_Dy_the new boathouse around the bend. You don’t can get him this time. “*Well, ind me somebody,’ said I. Maybe, said the caretaker. “I waited two days and each day the winter's accumi ion of leaves, fallen tree branches dnd general de- bris grew worse. I mentioned it to the caretaker with some asperit; ““There domw't be anybody, said he, placldlt ‘Art's father, he plants po- tatoes by the farm. Everybody plants potatoes. Unless they work by the new boathouse.” “I went out and savagely raked up leaves in heaps, which I couldn't move until the yard looked like the tenting ground of a vast army. And the tall grass needed cutting. T really hated it worse after I had raked part of the rubbish into these heaps than I did before. It looked nervous and un- settled. I spoke to the men who broughit out:the piano from town. g It sure does look bad,’ sald one of them. ‘Maybe I can get you John. He is_working across the bay, but I'll try. Yes, I think you need John out here. Theye may be snakes in: that tall grass, too!’ “In the afternooh the laundress ap- peared. ‘My!’ she said, being a_neat woman. ‘Why not your yard be, fixed? All those stumps and leaves! Oh, I get you a man to work—Peter! ’ He is my sister's husband’s nephew and he has six cows already! Peter is'smart!’ “I felt quite happy about Peter for a time, and then the old distrust set- tled down on me, as the next day, which was sunny, did not bring Peter. I raked a little aimlessly, changing the: piles of leaves, but otherwise not producing much effect on the wilder- ness surrounding the house. “T went to town that afternoon and with a_stern, sad countenance inserted a pleading advertisement in the week- ly paper. From reading it one might have thought that I planned to re- ous summer by h getting worse worse and s feilious summer the sight got on my nerves ran away into the woods one morning with a book and some sandwiches and didn’t come back till late in the afternoon. At first I thought there was a convention at my house. Next, with coid, trickly chills, I wondered if all the people to whom I had extended. a general invitation to come up and visit some time had arrived simultaneously. Then I saw they were all men. They sat all over the front steps, the rustic seats, the stumps, and two were perched on the rail fence, like blackbirds. They sat with ominous placidity and heavy smoke curled up from the pipes in their mouths. There seemed to my alarmed eyes to be dozens of them and they all turned a reproachful gaze up- on me as I haltingly drew near. They seemed to walt. ‘What is it? I cried. ‘Who—who ou? 'm Peter, said the one with the saddest eyes. ‘T eame. by 9 o'clock to work, My scythe and rake I brought.’ “I gazed about me. The place was full of scythes and rakes, each man flanked with own property. I was glad Peter had not brought also the six cows. “Tm John!’ boomed the oldest man. ‘I get dollar-half a day!’ He glared at me, for the day had been long, wait- in, ‘Then the grand chorus broke loos: They were Bens and Dicks and more Johns and Charlies, and they had all come to work. They insisted quite fervently on their mad desire to labor, and insinuated it was all my fault. Moreover, they got a dollar and a day and their jaws set when they mentioned it. I had a vision of my-, self either in a bankruptcy court, or cut into little pleces by their scythes. I felt very infinitesimal and helpless. “Then I had an inspiration. It was wicked, but, remember, I was scared. “Yau've made a mistake’ I said airlly, in my best society manner, but with my teeth chattering. ‘I don't want any one to work—if some other place. “Then T dashed into the house and bolted the door and quakingly watched the mob amble away.

The pond lily dahlia, Nymphae, was discov- ered In an old New Jersey garden, the owner not even recognizing it as a treasure. The insects and the flower fairles had worked together and pro- duced this miracle. No man’s name 1s appended to the Grand Duke as the hybridizer. Man can facilitate better than he can operate in this field. He places in proximity the flowers ne would have the insects cross and then awaits results and he does not wait in vain. Man may improve his condition in Iife by making the conditions of others better. We are told that the world needs a great thinker, but it needs a great doer more. Action is what will create new conditions of life, not thought. The man who thinks is get- ting nearer and nearer the door of revelation—the man who does is mak- ing thought effective in every walk of life. “Do!” is an inspiring humen motto. It is the brigadier general of efficiency. Macdonald was inspired when he wrote: “Do_the truth you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.” This is what man is prone not to do. The few who rec- ognize that this law is right and only man is wrong hold this as a preclous truth—the source of greater power. Those who look and doubt do not win —those who recognize the truth and do cannot fail. SUNDAY MORNING TALK. NESTING TIME THE COUNTRY OVER. This month sces the establishment of thousands of new homes. The honeysuckles will not creep over the Iattice work in front of all of them, for now-a-days ihe vine-covred cottage has largely given way to apartmenis in monotonous rows of brick or stone where it is_impossible for the bride to listen for the click of the gate as her Trince Charming comes up the flower- lined path to receive her greeting aft- er the day’s toil. Yes, the representa. tions of thesp new bowers of love found in novsis and poetry hardly ac- cord with what has now come to be necessitated by the flocking of people to s and the inevitable limita- tions that follow. However, the exte- rior of the home is, after ail, only the setting of th: jewel and Who cares, provided he is “dead in love,” whethar he begins in a brownstone mansion or a far more modest domicile, if it be he has succeeded in wooing thither the object of his adoration and can say with the young man in “Dombey and Son,” “The state of my affections to- ward Miss Dombey is of that unspeal:- able description whereby my heart is a_desert island and she inhabits it alone.” Young couples .before and after niarriage give much time and thouzht of a home and usually concern them- selves chiefly with its externals Wouldn't it be a good thing to pay at t equal attention to the moral opd spiritual fundamentals on which the peace and joy of any new or old home for that matter, depends? Here are four suggested cornerstones: The first is co-operation. What is the use of getting marrried if either one is going on just as much of an individualist as before the wedding, if’ either one wants his or her way so bad not to be willing to yiéid or at least to compromise? If any insti- tudon in sociely needs team work it 18 the home, for when different tem- peraments are brought into such close cortact there is going to be trouk! unless cach learned to love the other a little better than himself or herself Put in, then, for the coraer- stone the solid granite of a co-opers tive spirit. Take time to talk things over occasionally, to thresh out_dif- ferencies, view. Sometimes to modify your own in the interests of a common purpose is not only the most magnanimous but also (he wisest course. The second cornerstone is consid- Even reople who.- make 1 n,to co-operate with each oth- e ndt always considerate. There gets to be now and then on the part of either husband or wife thehabit of teasing or even “nagging,” which, if allcwed to develop, becomes one of the Iittle foxes that gnaw at the vine of domesti e1ous erate, happiness. 1t tskes a gen- nature to be really consid- to anticipate to get the other's point of situations, to guard in advance against misunder- standing: Before marclage lovers se'dom iack in this particular: “Let me carry four wrap,” “aren’t you ge: ting a ifttle too tired?” But some- times after the honeymoon is ended each thinks first of his or her com- fort. Lay as your third conrnefstone, comradeship. No people in the world should have such good times togeth- er as husbands and wives. The “chummy” feeling ought to prevail in work and play. Here again\ we some- times observe a sad difference between pre-honeymoon and post-honeymoon doys. T sometim a middle-aged or elderly marriéd couple taking e meal together in the restaurants . or traveling for half a day on the tratn. Hardly a word passes between them and one wonders whether they have exhausted all the topics of mutual in- terest. Ah! there was a time a few years ago when. their tongues could bardly ciatter fast enough. The fourth ccrmerstone should be confidence. If you are not prepared to believe in {our companion In - season and out of season, in sickness and health, in poverty and wealth, then you would better hesitate befdre you commit yourself to a life-long union. There will be times when it may be hard to understand just what the oth- er does or falls to do, but you will not judge him or her by a single action, but_Interpret every action by vour confidence in the prevalling intentions and in the character os a while. Bide your time and in the end your confi- dence will be justified, provided you are doing your best to justify the con- fidence reposed in you. These four ¢'s, co-operation, consid- eration, comradet and confidence, if built into the foundations of the hcme, will make their influence felt day by day. If they are pt strong the home cannot fail to be happy. And the poet’s dream of an 1deal home wili e realized when he says: . Two birds within one nest, Two hearts within one breast; Two spirits in one fare Firm Jeague of love and prayer, Together bound for aye ‘Together blassed. - THE PARSON. The Staggering Load. ‘When one glances from bottom to tcp of the list of appropriations rec- cmmended by the state committee on a)propriations, wonder doesn’t seem re¢cessary.

Tt costs over a dollar to every man, woman and child in the state for *re court machinery, and - mot quite two dollars each for education. We vould like to hear these relative amounts compared, say by President Hadley of Yale and Chief Justice Bald- ‘win. It would prove interesting with- out a doubt.
