The people of other parts of the country regard the -wonderful night performances of the Tillinghast a ship of which the world knows so lit- tle, as a popular New England hallu- cination; but tl.e prospect is that the whole ecountry will be amazed some day by a record of flight which will put all other air navigators into the shade. No one has had the pleasure of see- dng this Tillinghast machine yet, ex- cept as it is gaged at from the earth as it passes In the night. This air- ship passed over Norwich in the bright ‘moonlight and those who first saw it claim that they saw Its outlines plain- ly. It was seen by hundreds of peo- ple and none doubt its reality. As seen from some points it showed two bright lights; and as viewed from oth- er points it looked like a star, except #t such times as it would by its mo- tion show twe lights, leaving no doubt of its being & moving craft. It took ‘but & short time for it to pass entirely from view. It is claimed for it that in case the engine breaks it will scale with three men in it for forty-five minutes, which glves time to repalr slight dreaks, and also gives ample opportunity to make a Janding If things have gone wrong; and it is also sald that the engine is unlike any engine ever yet invented. The trips that this machine is mak- ing over New England show that those handling it have perfect confidence in it, and that they are doing stunts such as no other air navigators have ven- tured upon. GOOD WORDS, This is the time of year when the editor of @ newspaper hears more good than evil words said of him and his ‘work. ‘The newspaper family is a large family, and an honest family, as is at- tested by the thousands of small pe- counts owed and the small per cent. who discredit themselves by neglect- ing to pay. They are not letter writers—most of them find it difficult to frame up a good letter—yet, while writing a brief ‘business note, many of them venture to write a few words of appreciation which under the circumstances act as an inspiration. A letter at hand say: “T eould not get along without The Bulletin. My father took it for forty-five years. It seems like an old friend and improves mwith the years.” i« It pleases Th: Bulletin to receive _ such appreciative words, and we know “The Bulletin must Improve with the years. It is our duty to it and to its patrons to make it a useful servant in _ every departmgnt of life and the pub- lishers will spare no pains in doing 5o, HE ROSE IN THE WORLD. The new president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad made his own way to #this place of great responsibility and trust. Daniel Willard, at 18, was a €ay laborer in a section gang on the Central Vermont road, and his univer- @ity training was ontained right from | his dafly service. Ho has played th part of a fireman, engineer, brake- man, conductor, roundhouse foreman, trainmaster and finally a general man- |\ ‘ager of the Burlington system, and then he became a vioe president of the Baltimors & Ohlo, and with the open- ing of 1910 will control that great sys- tem and ride in his own private car. 1t is a long way up from a section . hand to the presidency of such a great ‘road as that, but it was not good luck fout good work which accomplished it. Mr. Willard made the most of him- _®elf, induiged in no little vices and ‘whenever a door of opportunity open- “ed he entered in. He must have been an exceptional man from yeuth to age, for the only inference which can be ‘drawn from his success is that he was always first claes in every position and ‘the confidence he created in his ability to do fust right kept the doors of op- _portunity opening to him. Other Am- erican boys who are beginning low now need not despair if they . ma the most of themselves and [ make go0d in every position to which ‘ they may be appointed. i me ;‘e_m-m.m from Copenhagen ities are getting ready to hit Dr. second blow.

A writer to the Providence Journal ventures this suggestion as to how city walks should be rid of their snow: “Although I see a number of people cleaning the sidewalks they do mnot take the precaution to throw the snow clear of the gutter, but simply push the snow just clean of the sidewalk, and just as soon a thaw comes along there is a flood, and then a cold snap freezes, which makes walking hazardous and results In more than one broken leg or a bad fall. “It would be well for the city coun- cfl to take notice of this near-sighted- ness on the part of the citizens of Providence.” ‘While there are few cities where all the citizens are prompt to clear their walks of snow, there are some who at public expense plow the walks in the most important streets, while oth- | ers, by the activity of the street com- missioner and the publication of city ordinances, succeed in moving the peo- ple—renters and land-holders—along | this line of duty: but in no city is the order made to throw the snow | clear of the gutter. Here in Norwich | we all throw our snow into the gut- | ter and then the street commissioner, | | going with a gutter-clearing, plow, throws it into the street. Providence appears to be wholly without the gut- ter plow and the gang to work it. Tt would certainly be easier to dig the gutters. out than to attempt to throw the snow clear of them. A JUST PROPOSITION. Tt is only just that the assistant postmasters of the country in first anl second class offices, should be placed in the competitive classified service, a movement which has received the en- dorsement of the Connecticut Ci¢:l | Service Reform association, and which will tell for the future efficiency of tle service as well as being a well earned | guaranty for the men who are largely instrumental in producing the good work which is done in the larger of- fices, 1t is rather singular that a matter of s0 much importance as this has so long been overlooked, and there ap- pears to be no good reason why it should be longer delayed. If falthful- ness, capability, despatch, in fact, ev ery quality which tells for efficiency is worthy of recognition and reward is | to be ignored in such important cases as these, is not the civil service tem to this degree handicapped by false pretence?

The iarge yield and good quall ty obtained by an’amateur gardener of Long Island, and a woman at that, has | aetracted some notice.

She pl emphasi on “first, the temperature and moisture of beds; second, the compost upon which they ‘are grown; and, third, the| quality of the sp: | “The first point to decide is the o= lity of the bed.

She rather dismally attired herself In a black chiffon dinner dress, her and only one for such a function, and wished that she had a few jewels to relieve the sombre garb. But Colonel Glynn had died a pauper and his pen— sion had vanished with him, so 1= cent had to go out as a companion in order to live. ' To replace the necessary jewels, she fastened a white rose in her belt and walked downstairs into the drawing- room. *Fortunately, she met Mrs. Trench, the housckeeper, who direct- ed her steps. At the drawing-room door Mrs. Trench whispered some in- formation. 7 “You'll find everything somewhat dark, Miss, as Mr. Matthew does not like a glaring light on account of his “And Mr. Paul?” asked Millicent, also in a whisper. ‘He has his own rooms, miss, and sees very little of Mr. Matthew, be- ing nearly always in town—as he is now." Matthew Forset was not very tall, and his shoulders were bowed by an unsightly hump. His mouth and chin were covered with a fair, shaggy beard, and his hair, untrimmed and untidy, fell loosely on his hump. The large blue spectaclesche wore did not add to his looks, and there was an ex pression of bad temper on his wrink- led face which argued ill for his dis- ved companion. Mr. Forset,” she murmured, offer- ing her hand timidly. The monster did not take it, but merely nodded and examined her at- tentively. Forset laughed low and grimly at the contrast between them. With a sudden monkey snatch, he drew her to the mirror, which rose be— tween two windows. Beast,” he mocked. and Caliban. Don't you think me ugly, B Giynn?" Yes," <aid Millicent, promptly. She decided that it would be waste of time to conciliate this bear. Matthew started and stared.

There he examined her as to what she knew and what she did not know. Some of his inquiries were extremely blunt, and Millicent fenced as well as she was able. But his persistence and force of will compelled her to be more candid than she wished. On retiring to bed she had the satisfaction of knowing that Matthew Forset could have written a detailed blography of her life up to the present. It was with mixed feelings that she laid her head on the pillow. “I should like to whip him first and ¢lve him sugar afterwards,” was her verdict. “He's an enigma.” Then Paul Forset arived, and Mat- thew promptly retired to his room, de- declining to have anything to do with his brother. Millicent had tried her best to argue him into being civil, and to"do the honors of the house, but Matthew refused in a most bearish way- Consequently she was obliged to dine alone with the newcomer. a more pleasant companion than hith- erto. ~ Paul was tall. slim, clean— shaven, supple, and lithe, but even this array of pleasant adjectives does not describe his charm. Paul was struck with Millicent's beauty, and, rather tactlessly, lamented that it should be wasted on his ugly twin. Miss Glynn resented this at once. “At all events, your brother is orig- sixin day at first until the fermenta- tion is well set in; then the turning should be done every day or every ota- er day until the temperature reiches about 150 degrees. “It will remain at this temperiture for from one to three weeks and chr be crnstantly watched and tested with a thermometer. Once the temperaturs begins to fall the mushroom bed should be made immediately. In making the bed the compost should be packed very firmly. The firmer it is the less cult it will be to malintain the pec sary amount of molsuture. My colo ed gardener always uses a brick or short block of wood to beat down 1 compost. He puts it on layer by 11 er, beating each down before adling another. “When this {s done the temperature falls to about 80 degrees. Some jrc- fessional growers have told me tnat they put in the spawn when their be were at 90, but according to my exn. rience between 75 and 80 is the safier plan. Now that the bed is ready the spawn should be carefully brokea into pleces about the size of awalnvt and planted from one to eight three inches deep and from six to eight inches apart. Some growers insist that tley should be planted vertically, but I % not found that it made the slightest difference. After the spawning is done, then the bed must be packed again. It should then be let alone for a week or ten dys, until the white strings of tha mycelium can be seen running through the bed. Then it must be covered < another layer of compost, beaten down ag firmly as the first. “If-after putting on the casing—this last layer of compost is called casing— the bed should show a tendency to dry up, the walls should be sprinkled and a light mulch of straw spread over jnder no _circumstaances be poured directly on the heds. . When sprinkling the walls does t_suffice, the mulch may be sprin kled with a fine spray. The only p tical test to see if the bed nough mojsture is to pre: of the compost betwen two pieces of wood. Thera should be just the slight- est show of moisture. After spawning there'is a wait of from five weeks to four menths. Tt i ally that two months should be the limit, but I have had a bed lie for four months, and then produce a fine crop, one of the finest T have ever raised. Profes- sional growers advised me to give it up, but T was patient, watchinz the moisture and temp e, and in the end 1 was amply repaid.

When a number of state legislatures g0 into session mext month the usu ills proposing a tax en bachelors will he introduced in several of them. These bills, most of them, will be hu- morously intended or presented for the sake of winning notoriety for their authors. What we have to say now Is that while the bachelor tax was once a joke, it is no longer one, in that res spect somewhat resembling a move- ment with which it has a point or two of affinity—the agitation for women suffrage. Such a tax, indeed, has already been proposed by the finance minister of one of the Old World powers. It was presented to the Austrian reichsrath by Hers Veu Billipski a lew rave | lm.l."

Then he tried the effect of neglecting her for a few days, and At once Matthew reap- ccused her of wishing to| marry Payl. She denied this, and the ugly twin became more agreeable. And by this time it became apparent that both loved her, which annoyed her immensely. Matthew, ugly as he ‘was, had won her heart, yet it seemed | to be a sin to wed such a monster. Matthew, it will be remembered, al- ways dwelt in a kind of twilight, and presented rather a misty figure to Mil- licent’s Imagination. When he took exercise, he either walked alone in the garden or strolled with her during the long summer twilights, leaning on her arm amongst the flowers. One even- ing two weeks after Paul departed, they were strolling thus beside the fish pond, a rather large sheet of water, rimmed with smooth, white marble. The hour was very lovel and quiet and romantic, as Millicent heart told her. Yet Matthew chose to break the beauty of the gloaming by snapping about handsome twin. ‘Paul writes that he is comine back,” he said harsh| “I expect he will pro- Ppose this time. “He had better not,” she repl “1 ‘would- as soon marry a butterfly. ‘Humph!

Leonard Wood's appointment as chief of staff of the army to st ceed Gen. Bell will undoubtedly start anew the discussion about the yalue of rofessional training in the army. Ever | since Mr. Root's reorganization of the | service, officers have studied more dili- gently than ever before. In addition | to graduate schools for engineers, art~ illery, cavalry and infantry, there is a staff college at For Leavenworth as well as a war college in Washington. Rut the spectacle is now presented of the appointment to the most influen- tial position in the army of one, who jattended neither West Point nor any { other ‘military school in or outside of the army; who was until eleven years ago in the active practice of medicine and surgery; who never drilled a com- pany in his life; whose experience as a regimental commander lasted but two months in 1898. Many officers will not fail to s with a good deal of force, that if a man of this education and experience, trained for a totally different position, is entitled to what is practically the headship of the army, all the laborious studying of the modern officer is needless. ~They will, with justice, point out that such a happening would be impossible in any other country than our own. Here the belief still persists that any man can abandon the plough and become at once a competent colonel or general. All of this feeling ig not due to jeal- man.” ¥ So the war of words went on, and ousy of Gen, Wood or ta,his personali- ty. The opinion of the army, as it comes to us, is that Gen.
