It 1s not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book—what are to be and what they are to repre- sent ' 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- clal interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large -enough to make the jdentification 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 t0 make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for its accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere, Order books on the coupon to be found in The Bulletin's advertising columns. THE HONORABLE. In the west they are digcussing “the Honorable” as an American title, and its fitness for a great many men who wear it. While there is no real warrant for It in America, the love of distinctive titles {8 so great that a great many public men have been permitted to as- sume it to tickle their vanity sinee it did one no harm. Now it is assumed that a great many public servants are parading as “the Honorable” who have done nothing honorable to at- taln it and the papers go so far as to inquire why a man who has dis- honored his trust should be called “the Honorable” by the people. For in- stance, they desire to know why sen- ators who for two years voted against the pure-food bill because they would not have fake whiskey wear a true title expect to be called “Honorable.” If a senator is known while in the em- ploy of the people to have served as counsel for a Canadian brand of whi key and has lent the influence of his name and the use of his brains in the efforts of the -whiskey men to ham- string the pure-food law. should he be called “the Honorable"? These are pertinent remarks, very. Too many Americans are wearing the title more because the people have honored them with high office than because they have done honorable service to achieve it. If only these who were entitled to be called “the Honorable” after out of office—whom the title fits as a glove fits the hand— were allowed to wear it, a large per cent. would certainly lose it. If the American flag was bedrab- bled with filth as this title, “the Hon- orabl , who would respect it? Am- ericans would honor themselves by re- fusing to recognize these titles ex- cept where they are known to be de- served. SIXTY-FIVE THOUSA! ATORS. Taking of the census fs a man’s job, @s the number of supervisors and enumerators and the character of the work readily indicate. Director B. Dana Durand is to have under his supervision 330 supervisors and 65,000 enumerators who will address us all with questions we shall willingly an- swer and some we would willingly have omitted. Tt is a work which re- quires skill, accuracy and judgment to get approximately correct results Yor the amount of lying that is done by the people who are secretive and Rhink their affairs are nome of the government's business ,is something prodigious. The expectation is that the people have increased to hetween $0 and 95 million, since the gain in the prior decade was 15 million, but It would not be surprising if the growth had not been more than 10 million. This armyof enumerators will not only strive to count the people, but 1o get at the character and amount of their wealth. Recent known increases n property Indicate a great gain in NUMER- property, as statistics show that the numtor of farms increased from 4.- 664,641 in 1590 to 6,100,000 in 1908, while tie capital of the farme: the shape of land, implement oals, bulldings and the like, the tremendous value of twenty-eight illions last year, a gain of seventy- five or cighty per cent. in less than two decades, Of what use is a census? a question easfly answered. and legal use is to furnish a basis for the congressional apportionment. Article 1. of the Constitution says: “Representative and direct taxes £hall be apportioned among the sev- eral states which may be included within the union according to their Tespective numbers, which shall be de- termined by adding to the whole num- per of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not tazed, three- fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the congress of the United States,and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The number of repre- gentatives shall not excesd one for every thirty thousand, but each sfate shall have at least one reprosentative.” The census also shows our losses as in That 1s Its first they. It s dawning ipon a come to church to hear the e"‘f.' that the Gospel must be carried them, The epirit which searched for the stray lamb in the mountains far away instead of staying by the ninety and nine lying safely within the fold, is spreading. This is shown by such ftems as these occasionally in the Monday moining papers “Recently 5 Minneapolia yastor went %0 the baseball park and preached a fiteen-minute sermon before the game was called. “At St Louls another minister de- livered a discourse at the biggest! beer garden in the city. In each case the audience was attentive and ens, thusiastic.” A live Gospel has legs and legs to be used and there is no reason why it should not seek arid find those who are in darkness as well as to cry from the house-tops, “Seck and ve shall ind.” There is too much shout- ing from the house-tops and too little doing. Perhaps the most.appreciative listeners might be found among those who are awake to their opportunities and the pleasures of the world. The bustling, yelping multitude will always be found to be awake and they might, perhaps, have better ears to hear than those orderly regulars, many of whom are charged with dozing through the sermon hour, or being more Interested in millinery than in anything the min- istering rervant may have to say. ,[The flock that has the most ozone, which objects to a musty atmosphere. within four cold walls, may be the most in- viting. 1t is historic that when the moun- tain declined to go to Mohammed, Mo- hammed saw the necessity for going to the mountain. There 18 a lesson in that which the world to this day has not fully appreciated. WORDS SMOOTHER THAN BUT- TER. A Rutland butter maker uses wrap- pers for his product that should in- spire confidence that it is not adulter- ated. Each wrapper contains a verse of Scripture. The verses seem to be selected without reference to any par- ticular applicability, however. One reads: “And if the righteous scarcely can »e saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” The manu- facturer might have quoted: “She brought forth butter in a lordly dish"; or, “The words of his mouth were smoother than butter”; or, “Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth but- ter.” Thera is certainly no Seripturai authority for the mingling of milk and water; in fact, it is promised that those guilty of the practice shall be thrown into the outer darkness.—Rut- land News. He should not forget that when Job washed his sbeps with butter, the rock poured him out rivers of oil, in other words, that a generous use of butter brings no harm. And Zophar, the Naamathite, said those who oppressed the poor should not see “brooks of honey and butter.” Then Ahaz said: “Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.” In butter there is knowledge and in knowledge power. This Vermont butter-man has begun work in a fertile field, and it ought to bring forth results. The ploneet advertiser was the man who realized it would not do “to hide his light be- neath a bushel.” THE BUMPER CORN CROP. Uncle Sam will not mind if the bumper corn crop just shrinks a bil- lion bushels. That is a reduction of 33 1.3 per cent, but it will not seri- ously affect the market one way or the other. The government's September report on corn indicates a yield of 645,846,000 bushels as compared with fndication on August first of 060,000 bushels, on July first of 161,174,000 bushels and the last year's an arvest of 2,668,651,000 bushels. Al- though, owing to the hot and dry weather of the past month, some shrinkage in condition was expected, the drop from 84.4 to 746 was two or three points more than was looked for. But the crop is only a little behind the erop of 1908, and is large enough to meet every demand. The fact that prices “are firm indicates that the farmers are going to get about as much money out of it. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Lusitania’s best record is 4— 11—42, and it reads like a policy slip. ‘Who will find out whether the North pole heard the American eagle scream? This is important. The children are all back in school, but too large a per cent. of them do not realize what they are there for. If Peary brings the North pole home with him, as he avers, the ice trust will have no more business in New York. Dr. Cook appears to have a pretty good backer in Promoter Morgan. He is famous for standing back of the real thing. If flithy lucre was not the object in this polar controversy, there would be hno sensation, That is what keeps up the interest. ‘Where but or a Happy thought for toda there is a will there Is a wi it is not always a paved way g, avenue Houston claims nation with its alub, which holds Ananias building, t leads the left-handed fishing its meeting in the No American likes to be second, and therefore it is perfectly natural that Commander Peary should command his \mouth to save his face. The deposed shah of Persia is to have a pension of $500 & day to help him bear his downfall. That ought to work like the balm of Gilead. What about that thirty thousand square miles of territory Dr. Cook maps out, which Peary will have to g0 north once more to look at? Mrs. Taft denies that she is a suf- fragette. Mrs. Taft has politics for a regular diet and for entertdinment, and that ought to be suficlent. Dr. Cook can entertain Commander Peary when he arrives In New York by showing him his gold medal and his credentials as a doctor of philoso- phy. The latest sensational drama Is en- /well as our gains in wealth and our shortcomings as well as advances along lines which tell for the weal or the woe of the country. Portland, Me, has a woman as su- titled “The Man Who Stood Still,” and as no man stands still but a wood- en Indian, do not expect too much from it. The Hon. Willis Moore, the weather ecientist, says Cook should not be Aauntad, Naw lat's hear from Horace oo A man. A man careless of speech can do 'gllt little harm with his mouth. It is the appearance of truthfulness which ves the finest effect to a lie. Henry ‘Ward Beecher noted that “even a liar tells a hundred truths to one lie," for, said he, “he has to, to make the lie good for anything.”.The man who does not know the value of truth' is never artful in the role of a prevaricato) The common everyday liar is as harm- less as the grass snake—he looks dan- Berous, but lacks venom. There are too many of him—for he is neither useful nor ornamental. Some people lle when the truth would serve them better, and this is the sign of their inefficiency. The man who is known to be true, but who in reality is false, can render the-most masterly serv to his satanic majesty. | suppose that the average man is just as good a husband. as he knows how to be. As the bread winner—the head of the ho —too often he becomes an exaggerated ego, as well as some- thing of a tyrant. He overestimates his own importance and is apt to un- derestimate the value of other. mem- bers of the family. He is often the most dependent and helpless chick in the whole bunch; and the calm, pa- tient and faithful wife is aware of it He couldn’t hold the family together for thirty days without her, and often sudden changes show Lhat the genius of the family did not center in him— that he was more of a hindrance than a heip. It is awful to think how in- flated some really good _intentioned men can become over successes. They are never made a: e of what an admiring wife thinks. She just does her duty and thinks—and only those who think out loud ever let the world know what keen perceptions they Dossess. The flocking sparrows on the sun- flowers making a feast upon the oily and sustaining seeds tell that they nave heard the call of a milder clime and are ready to obey it. This migra- tory habit of the birds from the wild £00se to the tiny humming bird puzzles the scientists, for they cannot divine how it happened. The whole feathered creation moves up and down upon the globe for thousands of miles almost as regularly as the pendulum swings, but no man can tell how they take note of time—how they navigate to habitats hundreds and thousands of miles apart. How the swallows of England came to winter in Africa, or the hum- ming birds of New England to winter in the latitude of Florida and Cuba. 1t is a long flight and a perilous jour. ney, and many perish by the way, but that seems to make no difference, their course being as regularly set as the course of the planets in the heavens. An English woman has been found who makes pets of wasps and lets them creep down her neck and go to sleep there. It is not stated what kind of wasps they be, but they are not the American paper makers, for they do not let people watch them with Impunity. 1 spent at intervals several weeks in one season watching these wasps build their paper nests, framo the cells, lay in the paralyzed spiders for food for their young, deposit their eggs, and listen on the outside for the first movement of the larva, in the seal- ed cell. The wasps were interesting to me, and I was a menace and a nuisance to them. Now and then a bold warrior would dart for me with venom in his eye and heat iy his sting, and the reason there were no results was because the wasps are poor marks- men—they struck the partition close by, but harmed only themselves. The American wasp creeping on one's neck Is the liveliest and busiest creature im- aginable—he can make a human dance who has no inclinaton to_under ordi- nary circumstances. The English wasp may know how to be good, but the American wasp does not. The time may never come when some one will not look up and speak up to let you know that “competition is the life of trade.” This old lie has such a respectable sound and appear- ance that it passes for the truth in the best of society. I have repeated it a great many times in my life, endorsed as a truth and unmindful of the fact that production is the life of trade and competition the mother of almost ev- ery scurvy trick known to business. Too many of these ready-made truths of ours prove to be false pretences. Competiticn tw often is the oppres- sion of the worthy producer, and it is the defense of adulteration, cut rates and every kind of meanness. The devil himseif seems to be under some of these cute sayings of ours; and he nust wonder how so thin a vencering keeps him hid so well and so long. As a saying this is not worthy of pres- ervation, but it is likely to be canned for use centuries hence. the book o ¢ nature. and death is locked up rocks, and it is this which has given the lie to the old statement that the Garden of Eden was only 6000 years The story of life in‘the Plutonic away. The Chinese have kept a cal- endar of the years almost that length of time. It was the book of maturs that told Hugh Miller that two great geological periods had come to a close before his time—the Cambrian repre- senting the glimmering twilight of being with its many legged worms, and the Silurian with its crustaceans ? every gort and its fisn. He found that the earth had become a vast sep- ulchre 10 a depth below the sea twice the height of Ben Nevis.” What a vol- ume that is with its impressions of life to a depth of miles. The book can fever be wholly interpreted, and per- haps the primary class has made many mistakes, but there is a great deal stiil to be learned from this inexhaustible source. When we talk about weeds we never include the morning glory, which is one of the worst in some parts of the world; but as a weed and a cultivated flower its bright blooms command re- spect. It is known here and in Eng- land as the bind-weed, and in some parts of this country it is a nulsance in cultivated flelds. The hedge-bind- weed of England is a large white morning glory; while the bind-weed of the cultivated ground prefers to twine on the corn, and it produces a fra- grant, pink-colored bloom; and then the beach- bind-weed is a dwarf rose- colored flower which sits low. and alone in its beauty upon the sea-sands. These pretty Japanese varieties which are cultivated with such care started in life as vagrants and were made pets when man began to gather about his abode the pretty flowers he found straying about the earth. Our gardens are strays dressed up. | wonder where the blue-jay got hjs rasping volce. That is what has = Johnson, the man who gave Wash- ington sleet. K , Do not expect Dr. Cook and Com- mander Peary to meet as enemies. They are old friends and are aware that the winner must be calm and win by figures. When it comes to polar speed, Com- mander Peary made his last miles more than twice as quick as Cook made his. The 140 miles returned for the last four days is switt.

He is a cunning bird, and in captivity never falls to make a hit; but his file- rasping antics early in the morning make the irritable yearn for a shot- gun. It is unfortunate that such a pretty bird should have a yawp more disagreeable than the hoot of the owl or t{n booming of the bittern. The jays are more common than usual in the suburbs this year, because of the dry weather, doubtless. They do mot care to bother man, but prefer the sol- itudes, all conditions for their welfare being equal. I fancy these “Injuns’ if they do make nuisances of them. selves.

Noticing in a current religious pa- per a budget of articles under the gen- eral heading “It 1 Were Going to Col- lege Again” I am moved to set forth briefly what T would do if the golden student year could be lived over again. “Look not idly into the past” is a sage mexim, and yet confession is sometimes good for the soul. and from the vantage ground of experience gain- ed in real life almost anyome may profitably look back upon a given pe- riod to see wherein his record might have been bettered. Perchance some youth entering upon a new course of study this very month may find a helpful suggestion or two from an “old grad’s” retrospect. So here goes, not- withstanding the clever skit to the ef- fect that the worst of all vices is ad- - Were the college oppertunity facing me today, I should guard more care- fully than I did that most precious commodity known as time, not that I would never loaf mor “frivol”, but I would not let so many valuable mo- ments slip away from me like water through a sieve. If necessary I would prepare a careful schedule, dividing up the entire day, so that at the end of the week I shonld know what had become of the vanished days, how much had been given to sleep, to ex- ercise, to study, to sociability. Many a coliege boy or girl would be sur- prised to find out how much time he waists, unintentionally of course, but none the less a waste. A written time card, for beginners, at least, who have not ' thoroughly established studious habits, is of inestimable value. It may sound “preachy,” but I am bold to say that I would study harder —not so much with a view to high rank, but in order to acquire the art of applying myself to a_strénuous mental task. I was easily diverted in those old days. I took two hours te master a lesson when an hour would have sufficed had I kmown how to study, to command the enginery of the mind 'so that it would plow threugh a subject with the ease with which a great locomotive cuts its way through a snowdrift. General reading would occupy & larger place on my programme. Busy as I have been since graduation with professional studies and . professional work, my reading has been largely shaped by the demands of my profes- sion. In undergraduate days I ought to have become more famillar with the standard poets, essayists and novelists, Many a good book I could have read without detriment to my studies and with all the resources of the college library so ily available.

But not so much because of that fact ought I to have tried to know them better in college days, but because they had something even then to give me and teach me, and possi- bly T might have made thir student days a little brighter. One thing more. If I were going to callege this autumn I should try to realize my indebtedness to my parents and the other members of my family circle through whose generosity and self-sacrifice my college course was made possible. I was not oblivious of them, but I might have taken back more to them when vacation came. In term time I might have written more often and more entertainingly.

A Pr nt Fault, “Here In Ansonia we wonder what they mean. Hére, no pavement is per- ‘manent. Tt neither stays laid nor does all of it remain on the street where it was laid. Tt doesn't lie still. Tt is forever on the go. Today it is intact, tomorrow it is dug up. And there probably isn’t as much of it, not by 10 per cent, as there was when it was first put down. The fact is, when it is taken up the men who replace it are seldom able to get it all back into the hole from whence it came. It never seeks the same level. It has its ups and downs. and when it is not relaid on Main street no one seems to know what becomes of it. Originally it was laid for permanent paving, but it has proved to be anything but permanent. What is permanent paving?"—Ansonia Sentinel. We Lead the World. This week brought the resumption of life in the schools, and the “factories of knowledge” are running on full time, The sudden transition from vacation pleasures to school work is not per- haps pleasant, but the young people should remember that never before in the history of the world was education —practical education—so necessary as at present. The world Is full of op- Portunities for those equipped to take advantage of them, but the untrained mind is hopelessly handicapped. The day is rapidly passing when the work- man fs promoted to superintendent, for example. That desirable position now goes to the man who is technically trained. Other things being equal, the person thoroughly trained in the schools will stand by far the better chance of winning. Ignorance in any line of endeavor today is at a discount.
