A body of practical business men would probably reach the same results .in one-third of this number of words and, all things considered. this is liberal estimate. Consequently, we arrive at the conclusion that con- gress talks about three times as much as it ought to.” “There is one point. however, upon which the vast majority will agree” | concludes The Journal, “and that is that the cost of eloquence—like that of many other things—is too high in this country TREES LIVING THINGS. There was never more tree-planting going on in New England than thefe is today when orcharding and forestry are taken into consideration; and a good wdeal of the work is being done by amateurs in a careless and slovenly way, hence the losses are great and discouragement Increased. An author- ity upon this work has this to say to those who are engaged in it “One thing to remember in the plant- ing of fruit trees and plants is that they have life.

Those who haven't them are complaining because of the un- carthly character of some of the horns, the odor they trail behind and the peril which forces them to dodge them, and those who have automobiles are angered by the accidents on bad roads, the restrictive laws, the pursuing de- tective, the license fees, insurance pre- miums and the collectors generally. In view of all this it is not so easy to tell who has the best time—the auto- mobile owner, the joy-rider, or the im- perilleq citizens who have to dodge for their lives. Sometimes I think it is easier dodging the automobiles than it is dodging the detectives and col- lectors. 1f we just look at ourselves right we'll fing that we are all dodgers of one character or another, and I have come to the conclusion that dodging the automobile is less humil- jating than some other dodging man is subjected to.

The eve and the heart do not have to take in much to find joy in the manifestations of nature which the manifestations of God.

Perhaps you may find pleasure in thinking that a rich man cannot take his wealth to heaven; but if you think right along you may surprise yourself with the fact that a man sitéing down with jvant feels as If he was too near hell t lack of it that counts when you come to contemplate heavenly matters. The difference between wealth and pov- erty is shown in-the fact that povert: is a pu filled with other men’s money. Somehow it has been ordained that the soul which is filled with love does not ever feel that it is poor, for it standeth strong and recognizes God as its ally. that lasts and that accompanies soul on its long journey. This is the only way that it is possible to abide in the Lord and have the Lord abide in you. The horseshoe hung over or beside the door for luck is a common sight in America, but the custom originated in Germany, and when the shoe is seen there it is to frighten the devil away. As the fable runs, his Satanic majesty became curious over a black- smith’s shop and loitered there, see- ing the manufacture of horseshoes and finally decided to have his own hoofs shod.” The blacksmith recognized his majesty and put on a red hot shoe and drove the long nails right into the devil's feet. The money he paid was burned because it would bring bad luck. The devil had a sorry time with his feet and when in distressful pain tore the shoes off and threw them awa and ever after when he saw a horse- shoe he would flee fram it.

The child missed him out of her lite, and in her dumb, childish way used to wonder where he had gone, and why they shut the eye- lids down so close over his pretty eves. and wh. when she put her lips to his ear and called him by name, softly, he gave no answer, nor stirred in his still sleep, and seemed not to hear. Once she escaped from the family group, and made her way to the quiet room where, covered with flowers, he slept alone, and whispered to him | “Buddy dear, wake up. Come out and play. The sun is shining, and the ga; den is calling, and there are minnows and polywogs in the river. I'm lonely without you, Buddy. I have no one to play with. Please come.” he waited a minute or two, then began again. “Buddy, what makes you so still? Is it true that you've gone away, ever so far away? They all say that you’ll never come back to us, but we shall go to you. How can I go to you, Buddy, if I don't know where you've ‘gone?” Then, at Jast, with a long, deep sigh “Goodbye, Buddy. T've tried to wake vou up. 1 asked God to help me wake you up. But you do not want to wake up, you want to stay asleep. Good- bye, Buddy, goodbve till I go to you.” And she stole softly out of the roommy closing the door tight behind her. From that day, as long as she lived, she missed her little boy cbusin out of her life. When she was ten, she had a wonder- ful dream or vision, she could not tell which. All at once she seemed to be a long way from home, and alone, in a place that was strange to her. Tt was as umggh she had fallen asleep, just as usudl, in_her own little white bed at home, with father and mother in the adfoining room, and her two big, little brothers, sons of giants, farther down the hall| and then had suddenly awakened far from home and friends, alone in the world, and very, very tired. having come a long journey. Her feet ached, her eves burned, the garments she wore clung about her limbs and impeded her, her hair fell loosely. over her shoulders and draggled across her face, so that she had to put up both hands to push it back, and, with it all her heart beat strangely. She seemed to have come across a dreary waste | where no zreen thing grew, and to be standing in a new.country where the hills were mountain high, and the world was a forest, with trees enor- mously tall, and the foliage of the richest, darkest, densest green, almost black in the shadows. The child shivered, and choked back a sob. Then suddenly, she felt herself stepping for- ward, apparesitly by no volition of her own, and, as she went, her garments, which had clunz too tight, ‘became diaphanous, her limbs felt light and her heart bu: 1t, as though she could run and leap and dance and sing for- ever; and whereas her hair had blind- they put in the horseshoe for all the world | entertain the opinion that there is not the slightest doubt that a mouse can worry an elephent.. A little perience removed all doubt. While industriously at work in the garden I broke a flower pot accidentally which had for many weeks hung up- side down on a vahlia stake. I had thought of nothing pre-empting that as a family abode, and paid little at- tention to the matter until a yellow jacket lit on the tip of my nose and inserted his sting. 1 was not more than the 60th part of a se ond in dis ing him, but that pain for some minutes seemed to, shiver my whole | svstem.

Just at sundown on one of the hot nights of last week I thought it would be well to renew the water basin for the birds. There was not a bird in sight. 1 drew three gallons of water and poured it intp & pan two feet in diameter and pl#€ed it on a post out under the trees. In two minutes thereafter taere were five robins In the trees. three old birds and two young one: This shows that they wer watching me and. inter- preted my acts correctly. The old birds flew away and the young birds nained and one flew to the pan and sat on the rim, looking for a few min- utes in the water. Then both young birds flew to the gentle drip from the pan and danced around beneath the drops, enjoying the shower bath. They loitered there for some ten min- utes, when they flew away to roost for the night. THE NEW KIND OF FOURTH. The changes in the character of the celebration in many cities and towns of Independence day, represents some- thing more than a wiser use of a great national holiday. It is sympto- | matic of the growing prevalence of a new attitude on the part of the Amer- |ican people generally - toward their common int sts and aspirations. When a boy substitutes long trousers for shor nes and begins to agitate |for a tuxedo coat, you do not diagnose the s | is becoming more ard to his clothes,” George is becomin uation simply by saying, “George particular with re- but you say, is possible for a nation to It, also, can put away child- ish things and dzvote itself to the ob:- jects and pursuits more worthy of the | period of development at which it has | arrived.

It is a | child yet, to be sure, Great Britain, a_mere infant when contrasted with China, but 134 vears constitute quite a span of time, and we must confess that though we are still youns, we have been younz a long time, and that a certain dignity of demeanor, a certain temperateness in_our pleasure befits us. 1f the new plans for the Fourth con- templated only the doing awev with unnecessary noise and the prohibition of dangerous firearms, the movement would deserve our support, for the bandaged heads, bleeding fingers and maimed legs and arms that have hith- erto followed the train of the tradi- tional Fourth of July celebration are a dissrace to any social order that calls itself civilized. But it would be difficult to rouse general enthusiasm over a Fourth of July celebration that was purely neg- ative. “Sate” and “sane” are good words, but they do mnot make the blood tingle. Merely repressive meas- ures never appeal to the popular heart. The small boy is still with us, and if | we forbid him to rise at 145 in ‘the | Vmorning and to pull the church bell THE CHILD'S VISION OF HEAVEN | seconds faster than Yalie, ed and stified her, now it hung about her like a mantle, and her eyes were opened to see more beautiful things than ever before. The high hills wege pearl-tinted, the folliage was sun-fleck- ed, and no longer was there any black All about her flowers in the air. The child forgot that she had ever sobbed, and now she laughed aloud. She came to a flight of marble stairs, and, as she mounted them, it seemed as though her feet were lifted on wings, At the top of the stairs, she found herself in a vast, magnificent hall_ open to the universe on all four sides where one would look for walls to be, and roofed only by the dome of cerulian® sky. The great hall was grander and far more beautiful than any place she had ever been in. or than any king’s palace she had ever dream- ed of. Though she hesitated to set foot upon the threshold, she looked about her with delight, and a lovely feeling of at-homeness swept through her. as though she had been here before. Yet, while her heart was buoyant, she still felt strangely alone. The hall was thronged with people, men and women of dazzling beauty whose faces shone with the joy of living, and children of all ages, who were happlly playing their little plays, disturbing no one, each filling his own true place, which seemed to be all space. Every one was so0 beautiful and happy and joyous and free that, involuntarily, the child took her next step forward, crossed the threshold before she knew it, and stood among them. Yet, still, because they did not seem to see her, she felt strangely alone, It was then one beautiful boy separated himself frem a grewp and ame forward to meet her, his h outstretched and with a g!‘)wln‘ smile of welcome. He did not\speak one word. Instead, he looked deep into her eyes, while she gazed up into his, which were_soft and dark and luminous. Wonderful eyes they were, smiling eye: and like no eyes ever seen on earth, for they shone and radiated light as though stars of the first man- nigude were shining through them. 'Oh,” gasped the child, while her heart leaped. “Oh, you are Budd: “Yes,” smiled the boy. “And you've come, as you sald you would.” “But Buddy died and went te heaven,” she cried. “Well?” And the starry eves illu- minated her, so that she began to understand. “Buddy,” in an awed whisper. I in heaven?” The boy smiled encouragingly. “But see,” she exclaimed, stretching out her arms. “I am not dead. These are my same arms, alive, and these are my same feet, alive, and I am alive. Tell me, am I not alive?” And the boy answered, “There s no death!” - Then he led her into the hall, and spoke her name to the other chiidren, who_greeted her smilingly. After- wards, for a long time, they two wandered about together, hand in hand, he showing her many wonder- ful and beautiful things which she was never to forget, and teaching her to understand by the glorified light of his eyes. Whether dream or vision, the child could never tell, -But she knew she had talked with the boy they all thought dead, and that she had crossed the threshold of heaven. THE RECLUSE. “Am and to take the nelghbor’s gate off its hinges and to bang away with his fire- crackers the rest of the day we are bound to provide some other outlet for his spent-up energy, his effervescing patriotism. So these various schemes in differ- ent places for a new and interesting vpe of Fourth of July celebration de- erve support. They are in the line not of repression only, but of recon- struction. They call for creative abil- ity. Apd the best of them rely for their success not on a few imported experts, but on the cordial and thoughiful participation of many per- sons, and particlarly of many young people, who are being shown ways whereby they may utilize their spec- ial gifts to the end that the whole community may be interested and profited. A “safe” Fourth is not necessarily a noiseless Fourth. But instead of deafening cannon crackers and the din of tin horns that grate like nails on the sensitive nerves of invalids, let us have trained choruses of school chil- dren, singing joveusly the hymns of the republic. Color and life and mo- tion we still must have or it will not be Fourth of July, but the oM-time processions of “antiques and horri- bles,” with their outre costumes and other burlesque features, would bet- ter give place to prarades and pea- geants of a more educative and art istic type. The possibilities of thg “floats” depicting some historic scen® or episode relating to the national life or to prominent persons influential in our progress from stage to stage, are only just beginning to be realized in this country. Bright boys and girls can get as much fun by helping their teachers and parents work out “color schemes” and musical programmes and effective exhibits, as they can by burning gunpowder all day long. The new type of Fourth Is only one expression of the forces at work in our country which aim to conserve its resources human and material, to uni- ty all classes in soclety, to do away with unsightly and unseemly things and to bring to bear upon our popular amusements the helpful influence of art, education, and even religion itself. All hail! then, to the new Fourth of July. It does not mean a less happy or less enthusiatsic day, but one more rational, more educative, more in keep- ing with our advancing national ideals and one stimulating those who par- ticipate in it to a nobler patriotism. THE PARSON. The Crimson Thames. The betting and the technical esti- mates proved to e justified in the finish of the capital event at New London yesterday. Yet the considera- tions which served for the confident forecast were absent from the actual contest. The brief record of the pro- cessional finish fails to do justice to the nature of the race, which was any- thing but a walkover. The time, unde twenty-one minutes, attests the strug- gle. From the timec-rows the experts had figured that Harvard was twelve and, while the estimate Is substantiated and more in the record, not until the last half-mile stretch was It demonstrated. The Crimson simply rowed the Blue to the latter’s pivotal point. For Yale the dread law of diminishina returns operated just short of the four-mile demand. Then it was no longer a race. But it had been splendid up to that moment, one of the tightest contests of oarsmanship that the Thames has ever bosomed. The whole day was Crimson, toe, for all the onen of the evening before, when an uncalculated crab gave the Blue the freshman four- oared.—Providence Journal. The Contracting Lower Region. At oné of the Yale class reunions this week a clergyman with forty years (more or less) experience in the world told his Ustening friends that his cdn- clusion of the whole miatter was that hell is not anvthing like so big as it was when he entered the ministry— and he thought it was stil! shrinking. This is suggestive, not to say cheering. —Hazrtford Courant. NORWICH - TUESDAY, 19 JULY THE SHOW OF A THOUSAND WONDERS THE BIGGEST AMUSEMENT ENTER.
