It is not surprising t a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a featurc of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book—what they are to be and what they are to repre- gent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- cial interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people'the pictures will be made large emough to make the identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that 1t will be in prompt demand when it @ppears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs aiready, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the hest part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for its accuracy and wvalue by Norwich people everywhere. Order books on the coupon to be found in The Bulletin's advertising columns. A LONG, DRAWN-OUT ISSUE. The proposed income tax amend- ment to the constitution will be a political issue for two vears and lead to coneiderable wrangling and may fail to be ratified by 35 of the states. Alabama, a state of small incomes, ratified the anmiendment without a dissenting voice. Connecticut has left it for the general assembly of 1911 to ratify or reject. This may be wise, or it may be otllerwise. In matters of great national importance, Con- necticut has as often been last as first and she is again booked for the foot of the class. Within the next two years there will be a good deal of noise about this amendment. There will be candidates running for legislatures in the pledge of supporting ratification; there will e others declaring against it, and go- ing to their people frankly with the declaration that they do not approve the measure. There will be non-com- mittals—who, in most cases, It elect- ed, will prove antagonistic—and there will be party declarations, and de- punciations of the opposition, and Metermined efforts in many states ¥nd congressional conventions for and Against resolutions on the subject. The agitation will contribute an im- rtant chapter to our political history ind the likelihood Is that the measure Jll finally be ratified. It does not make any difference how ne feels about the protection of deer &zmn state, it must be admitted that ey are a dear proposition. Perhaps the Wright brothers can fly thousand miles without landing, but @ people are likely to believe it more readily after the stunt has been done. The salmon catch on the Pacific kcoast rivers is so great that the can- ming factories are finding it difficult 3o handle it. Canned salmon ought to ®e cheaper, by and by. Mrs. Belmont can always draw an Interested audience to her home lec- tures, for to be able to speak of “the time T was at Mrs. Belmont's” gives ® woman considerable prestige. Since the sale of alcohol is prohib- fted.in Kansas, the barbers of that state are wondering how they are go- fng to obey the law which requires razors to be sterilized in alcohol. Up Rutland, Vt, way where there is While the vacation season is M over for the individual, it is really a continuous performance which reaches its greatest inteusity in the warm months. In the other months, those who worked to make the summer va- cation profitable for themselves and enjoyable for others, take their periqd for rest and recuperation. 2 It is anuounced that last Bunday marked tae high tide of pattonage on the Maine coast and that an ehd of the week hot wave will make tomor- row a crowded ang profitable day at all resorts in the state, after which the business may be expected to wane until the closhig dates in Septembor. The school boys are conscious that the places of learning are belug clean~ ed up for their reception and that the bell will ring for their reasselibling shortly—a thought which cutries less | pleasure to them than it does to their | parents, who have had ten weeks of extra anxiety and care, and who are willing to shed the extra burdens which & long vacation imposes. Those who have the vacation habit and the means to support it, are al- | wavs glad to get home again, for | there is no real substitute for home, { aithough such changes as the summer ‘drings for city people of means are lenstheners of days for many of them. We all need to attend more to the laws of health and to live more orderly | lives it we would prolong our days. | The hustiing, bustling, spasmodic lite, known as the strenuous life, is apt to cut out of our lives as much as it puts into it. 1t should be borre in mind that “if we are to live long and happily we should have regular relaxation, a measure of harmony and constant | conservation of the mind and body.” THE NATIONAL PROJECT. Seven members of the National Wa- terways commission have gone abroad |at government expensc ostensibly to | gather information of benefit to this | country, which ~might be gathered | more economically by the representa- tives of the consular service who are on the spot and have the time to give to the matter. The itinerary of these seven commissioners is stated to be as follows Four days to the inspection of the canals in and about Berl Two days at Dresden. Two days at Prague. WATERWAYS Two days at Vienna. Three days on the Danube. Two days at Beigrade. The Rhine, four day Holland, two days. iglish waterways, 14 days. This s a very pleasant trip and no doubt it will be enjoyed by the crowd. Studying the canal system of Holland in two days is like preparing the his- tory of Connecticut from aweéek's au- tomobiling through the trunk lines. Think of three days on the Danube and four days on the Rhine. By this method a week to the Mississippi and a ten days' cruise on the Amazon would be enough to study these great waterways. We are a live and rush- ing people. THE EFFECT OF CLEANLINESS. t was John Wesley who said: eanliness is a duty, not a sin,” and it is still one of the evidences of man’s inclination to neglect his duty. Com- munal uncleanliness is the cause of great mortality every year and a financial loss which is staggering to those who realize the price of ignor- ance and indolence. The Chicago News Is right when it says that “the mran who does not care whether the street in front of his house or the alley in the rear of his lot is clean or not is the man who permits the wastes of his household to become an eyesore and a nuisance to his neighbors. To be uncleanly is to be unhealthful. A slovenly neigh- borhood is a neighborhood of declining values, which invites the departure of desirable residents and the arrival of undesirable ones. “Out of any display of good neigh- borship come chances of co-operation with others similarly minded. Here is an opportunity for the householder to start a neighborhood movement bringing improved surroundings, valu- able friendships and enhanced prop- erty values, “A clean cit$ or a clean neighbor- hood shows that intelligence which brings individual prosperity and pro- motes efficient local government.” This is a practical as well as profit- able gospel and is inviting to men of intelligence and enterprise. GOVERNOR WEEKS' VETO. The stand taken by Governor Weeks upon the proposed new Sunday law is well taken. If an improved—a lib- eralized Sunday—is the aim of the law, the changes to be made should be plainly described. The governor is right when he says: “The only important addition to the present law I find in the bill herewith returned, apart from the definition of the day with which it begins, is that part which accepts sport or work ex- cept such as shall be required for ‘the preservation or promotion of health and safety, or if necessary for the general welfare of the community.” It these words add nothing to the pres- ent law, they are tautological as com- ing within the phrase ‘work of neces- sity or mercy.’ If, on the other hand, they are intended to change the pres- ent law to meet the demands of that portion ‘of the community which de- sires a more liberal Sunday, it would have been better to say so plainly, without equivocation. These words certainly will not aid the authorities in applying the law: to local condi- tions.” TUnder this wording of the new law, golf playing might be regarded for the public welfare, and roque or ten- nis not—in some communities, and baseball thought to promote the gen- eral welfare of the community and golf not—in other communities. It would give Connecticut a Dolly Var- den Sunday because it would be sub- ject to the various interpretations of the communities in interest. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The one who can does clean, quick work, and does not cut himseif. The man who cannot shave well with a safety razor has the corn-parer bevel habit concreted—he cannot overcome it. There is no safely for him except in it—he has no praise for the modern razor that works like a garden hoe. A jaded horse and an overloaded bee look " very much alike—life is not a pleasant dream to them but a stern reality. 1 saw a bee the other day on a dahlia stake, all covered with the pollen of the hollyhock, and he looked as rocky as a man who has sat too long beside the hard cider jug. He couldn’t go, but had sense enough to try to unload. He was busy scraping off the pollen and tossing it to the winds and getting himself in shape to strike a bee-line. The bee that can- not make bee-line for its hive is no good. When it comes to directness of effort the homing plsnfln is not in it with the be: and it is the direct habit which gives the hive's location away to the bee-hunters and -costs the hee his store of honey. But the bee is a pillager—he can and often does assail the nectar pot of a moth- fiower and steal the honey. He must feel the ha! ha! spirit rising within him when he cuts a hole near the honey pot of the petunia and steals the honey from the white-lined morn- ing moths. He makes the most of opportunity and doesn't care for little irregularities. Only a brave woman could have written: t your conscious go to the dogs: but "keep your hne: Virtue never yet atoned for wrinkle I'm not going to endorse it. although 1 recognize that the art of keeping fresh is of the greatest importance to a woman, and how some of them keep looking young so long will ever remain to me a mystery. 1 have seen grandmothers whose physical beauty had not departed. This, of course, can be said of few. for most women can endorse the declaration that with wo- men “beauty soon goes and there is nothing left but a headache.” Against such a deplorable last state woman should ever make a persistent fight. But the fact that the photographer s to say to so many of his patrons, g cheerful, now ‘Look pleas- ant!” shows that the faces usually worn are not picture faces. We shoyld all keep our picture faces as long ‘as possible. The voice of the locust is heard in the land—in fact, it is heard in most lands in its season. As insects go, the cicada is not pretty. It lives the simple life and sings in the bright sunshine after it has led a dark, sub- terranean life for three years—the 17- year locust remains wingless in the dark 16 vears and in silence—the change is enough to make a creature sing. You like to hear him in the trees. but yon have never asked your- how he knows when it is time to ten it it is time to sing. His life of orde place in the him buzzing and he reaches his foliage where you heard the fourth year—as his cousin does in his 17th year in the same month of the year, and in the me week of the month.

Harold drew a sharp breath. So this was the explanation of what had seem- d inexplicable. Twenty-one vears ago, about the time that his mother had come to live at Riverside. How kind Uncle Robert had been. "All that he | now was he owed to his lavish gener- sity and his mother had reigned su- preme over the cultured household for a score of years. He remembered her fear of the advent of a new mistress and her exultation that none had ever come. Could he go away and leave him alone, now that he was no longer | dependent upon his bounty, and yet— Anita, impulsive, golden haired, demure Anita, who had only last night prom- |-ised to be his wife.” He decided to go to her at once, and an hour later his unexpected arrival at the suburban home was hailed with shy words of | pleasure from the young girl and a genial welcome from the still youthful widowed mother. The day passed all too quickly in the cool Tetreat of the vine covered arbor. He had late in the afternoon told Anita of his morning interview and its unforeseen result. At first she waxed indignant, then the tender heart found excuses for the man who had loved and lost. “We will wait, dear,” she said hope- for a time, at least.” When he had gone from out the shadows and they sat in the growing ita spoke. did you know Harry's un- e, Robert Denning, when you were a girl?” Ndmamlnnn-ul "H.'ml" Anita's MM vdcnhnhflu“im ey map nnu P Harry's o " she n&ou “.’rfin‘ her arms about the elder women, 'heuuu' yo.’.’ Droke your promise 21 years ago. e The senior partner of the firm of Denning & Atwood sat in his private office, p!el\lmbl{ busy with his mani - fold business interests, but in reality deep in thoughts of the past. He aroused himself with an effort at the announcement that a lady awaited him in_the outer office. “Be seated, madam,” he sald cour- teously, then turned to his visitor. ‘Madeline!—Mrs. Howarth!" he oot tected Instantly. The aloofness a dignity of his tone scemed to chill u\a atmosphere as he added stifly, “You do me unexpected honer.” “Pardon the intrusion,” she said ntly, sinking into the chair which fio had placed for her with & strange sense of weariness, He remained standing, one hand resting -lightly on the open desk.

Finding mean- hess to forget it is about the most unprofitable ~occupation ever entered upon.

To be unconscious of faults is to for- get them. Take a new tack, Jane, and try again. The dahlia pests increase from year to year and the worst the little white fly that makes ti and turn yellow, and the insect which affects the flower buds and makes distorted blooms. The neatest way of checking both is to spray the buds and foligate with the bitter tea made from quassia chips. The stalk porer is not so bad. He turns up only oc- onally, and once when he bored a stalk for me I cut it off and got more flowers from the invigorated laterals than ever before from the same roots.

This was one of several comments passed. What the others were I have forgotten. The thing that sticks in my mind is the fact that this particular person likes his_own people. That single element in his makeup_ predisposes me in his favor. When I meet him I shall ex- pect t0 find a certain kind of man. He may be defective in other particu- lars, open to criticism, because of this or that peculiarity, but he cannot be wholly bad, and my heart warms up to him in advance because he is said to possess that quality of loyalty to his friends and his family. Yet when characterizing a man, why should you mention this trait as if it were exceptional, as if only now and then a man or woman were found of whom it i true? Pray, of whom should we be fond. if not of our own kith and kin? Who has done more for us than they? Who has basne with us more > help | flower is de- | ture or Paris | leaves curl | ilies 1 | | patiently in season and out of season, when we were worthy of their affec. tion and when we were far from wor ty of it? Has Tom, k or Harry, has your chance #cquaintance on the train or steamer, has the man in the next block done more for vou, year after year, than your father, your mother, your sister, your brother? And on the ‘whole are there any nicer peo- ple to live with or to be identified with than just our own dear people? amilies " differ in their possession and exhibiiton of this mutual regard. Even within the same family circle now and then you find. if not a black sieep, at least “off horse,” who does not pull with the team, who pre- fers to flock by himself. But is there anything finer” in human life than a united, harmcnious family, all of whose members are enthusiastic over or another, not blind to one anoth- faults, Lat quietly proud of the family histery and traditions, stand- ing by one another through thick and thin, never ashamed to confess their lineage, doing all in their power to strengthen the family ties and to give new honor and dignity to the family name. To be sure this warm family feeling v degenerate into clannishness, ex- iveness and feuds with other fam- ding to long continued guerrilla warfare like that which sometimes characterizes life in the remote sduth- ern mountain But, as a rule, the families that care a great deal for themselves are the families that care most about other homes, to contribute most to the fare. So here’s to the bond that unites us in the family life. Let us cherish it not only when Old Home week comes and Thanksgiving and the other occ sions when we make formal pilgrim- ages to the places where we used to live, but all through the year. Let us not forget those little courtesies that strengthen the family tie and sweet- en the home relationships. And let us consider it a high compliment to have it said of us “He's fond of his own folks.” THE PARSON. and that common wel- MUSIC AND DRAMA Henry W.

PROHIBITION DEBATE. Efforts to Arrange One Between F. W. Orr and E. W. Chapin. It having been currentliy reported that Frederick W. Orr of New Haven, the official representative of the state liquor interests, was anxious to meet a representative prohibitionist in pub- lic debate, George W. Hull of Bristol, a well known prohibitionist and tem- perance worker, wrote a letter to Mr. Orr asking him to be in Bristol on September 10. This is the date when the annual field day of the temperance organizations of the state will be held at Lake Compopnce and it is expected that the Hon. Eugene W. Clafilin of Chicago, the last presidentixl candidate for the presidency of the prohibition- ists, will be on hand. Mr. Orr has replied that he cannot accept that date, but might accept gome other. Mr. Hull is trying to ar- range another for a debate with Mr. Clafiln or Hon. O. N.. Stewart of Chi- cago, 'who will be in this state later. ‘This is one of the first signs of stom- ach weakness.
