The vacation In its present form is modern an€ it is surprising what a jarge amount of money is invested in these so-called annual “rests” by the great stores and industries, with a view of getting the money back through the increased efficiency and faithfulness of those who enjoy their bounty. 2 It seems to us that the vacation that is a rest is the exception not the rule. These are strenuous times and the people do mot know how to loa#—they simply know how to do something eise which is pleasing to them, end a vaocation may consist of travel or of work—it seldom is a sea- son of actual idieness. Too many, perhaps, return in a more exhausted physical condition than when they started out, and recuperate from the wear and tear of the vacation in the less stremuous occupation which for a time they left for their own better- ment. But they doubtiess have been bene- fited, for the slogan now is that man needs not a rest, only a change of occupations, and they certainly get that. It is up to the vacationist to have a good time, and to “make good” to his employers for giving it to him. If it is not regarded as a gift, but as a debt n it is up te the worker to perfor duties so that his employ- ers wiik owe him the same good will, God-bless-you and leave of absence amother year.

The effect of this d sion 1s no being discussed wherever the members of the Royal Arcanum ablde, and thers are varying opinions as to its effect upon the order. The New Haven Times-Leader has this to say concerning opinions of members “When & man Jjoins the order he signs an agreement to accept without question any re rate that may be set. According to Justice Kelly’s find- g. such agreement does not warrant e order's raising rates. “A local leader of the Arcs um stated was not arted on scienti ple The original organizatien emingly was aleng hit'and miss lines.

The downpour of Saturday night was a joyful souni to dents in Norwich and victnity, where there has ts. The hot been a shower worth mentioning for about a mor he patter of the raindrops on the roof sounded kike a sweet song; and while the water may mot have pemetrated the earth to any extent it has proved of inestimable \’Pn!fl' to xflrd-l! and wns which were being scorched to death by tha sun. The ground is mow ready for transplanting and for planting laie stuff for September and October fr wge. Where the haying has been dene the aftermath is now likely to be equal to the average. Everybody has an interest in the water fall which means so much to the citv's great reservoirs and incidentally to all the people. Much more rain caded, end now thgt the drouth has been broken it is 1o be hoped that we sh have the alternating rain ani s shine which will make secure crops. fall MORE LAW WANTED fact that there have heen throe fatalities in Windham couaty 'n the ast few vears by the cars ess use of :ns i the hamds of minors, Coroner Eill, in the case of the re fataiity at Alexander's lake in the town of Killingly took occasion to say: “It seems to me that legislation is needed in regard to the handling and use of firearms by minors. That the firing of rifles, gome of which now carry death-dealing bullets from a quarter to a half mile, by boys who seem to have no regard as to where the bul- lets are to land, is altogether too fre- quent, and constantly endangering hu- man life.” The necessity for strong law in this direction is sel!f-evident from the fa- telities which have occurred for lack of it. There is teo much license giten s boys with fireerms and greate: re- siviction and more protective laws are coriainly desirable. As the l=gislaiure meets In January this necessity is a good to bear in mind It is now claimed that the four Dreadnoughts beiug built by Russia will be antiquated before they are launched. If John D. Rockéfeltar had heen a ‘ninister he might have zathersd in souls as he has dollars—then what! OLD HOME SEASON, The Old Home week is a child of New Hampshire and it has been prot- itable te that state and been recos- nized as worthy of adoption by many a sister state. It has been kept up only by those who made it what was intended to be—a quict, old-fash - ioned reunion instead of & week of parades, brass bands and other thinzs which, while they please the people, become too much of a tax upon them Absent sons and daughters like thes old home seasons because they open large opportunities to meet old friends and acquaintances. It is business on the part of the towns who know hov to do the thing regularly to send nc- tice out to them all: “Come back and we will invite all your old friends ani neighbors and have a day of rejoicinz.” It keeps alive in those who hau sought larger or more Gitractive op- portunities a healthy interest in their native towns, which not Infrequently proves of large benefit to them. “As the summons comes to one ana another, from all over New England during the coming two months,” savs the Boston Transeript, “it will be a Zood thing for ali who can do So ti respond in person. It will provide a mellow memory for the rest of the year.” GOVERNMENT-OWNED RAILWAYS The British board of trade has pub- lishea a report on the Nationalization of Railways in the various countries of the world. The statistics in this report are timely in view of the opin- ion, ' frequently expressed in these days, that American railways will cventually be owned and operated by the government. The records show that government- owned roads are operated, in many cases,“at an actual loss, and in aill cases much less econemically than the roads overated by companies. Here are a few of the facts: ! American railways, under private | ownership, keep operating expenses at | about two-thirds of reciepts. Canada has 1,444 miles of govern- ment road on which th~ expenses are 9% per cent. of the receipts. On the other hand, the Canadian Pacific, a privately owned line traversing the same kind of territory, earns a snrplus every year. “The government-owned Rio de Ouro | ratlway of Brazil has $2.22 of expenses | for every $1 of revemue. The Central Railway of Bra a government line | 1.004 miles long, has expenses equal to | 96 per cent. of its receipts. of Ninas and Nonna” Christina have expenses, respectively, of 107 per cent. and 370 per cent. of receipts. On the 636 miles of government roads in Newfoundland expenses are 131 per cent. of receipts. Austria, with mere than five thou- | sand miles of government lines, had to pay on their account in 1907 a de- | ficit of more than $13,099,000. In Denmark, where government cxpenses are 80 per cent. {Tn Ttaly they are 38 per cent. | Russian state rallroads carned a de- | | conditions on | of receipts. | ficit of $60,000,000 in 1907. | In considering the troubles | | | of other countries arising from go | ernment ownership of railroads, it i interesting to recall that some states | {in this country dabbled in government | roads for a time.

Mrs. Catheriné Van Voorhis -of Rochester, N. Y., who is over s Je:.\rl of age, recently made the largest f over foated over the capitolar Wash- ington, which was used during the suffr; convention. President Tuft paid her special attention while she was in Washington. Mrs, Beatrice Hubbell Plummer and Mrs. Florence Baker are two eas ern women who are tired of the humdrum ciety life and went west to Death Cal, where they have made a success of gu,a digging. They their husbands behind them and did work themselves, and, besides 1d secured, found health in the country. The New York association for ¥m- proving the condition of the poor has engaged Miss Helen Simth to go among the poor of Syracuse and teach them the art of cooking. She did this in Syracuse and it has been found that trained omen going about among the poor ca; teach them how to cook more healthful food and to do it more economically. Other women in New York are engaged in this work and it has been found to be very successful. Baron Kikuchi, who is the president of the Imperial university of Japan, recently lectured on Japanese women. The ideal woman, he said, was a prin- cess who threw herself into the water Guring a terrible storm as a sacrifice to the storm god, in order that her husband might cross the water in safe- ty. The baron stated that a true Jap- anese woman should find real content in the exercise of self-control and self. sac and in the respect of love and her husband and family. He also noted the interesting fact that nearly prose class of Japan were by women of the imperial and that one of the six Japanese poets was a woman. blotting paper will 1l paper. iron and grease from w Use strong coftee and a few arbps of ammonia to clean black coats.

A Frenchy looking hat is a large leg- horn trimmed with lavender orchids and finished with a knot of pale blue velvet. White chiffon or net covered with beads of silver, gold or the pure white, is being used as, a lining to many of the handsome gowns or waists made of diaphanous materials. Among the smartest buttons shown this spring are those of cut steel, set in colored stomes. These buttons are mounted in mother-of-pearl rims, matching the stones in color. The craze for veiling the frock ap- pears to be as keen as ever, and near- ly every smart dress is veiled with chiffon or fine crepon. Royal blue veiled with black ehiffon, is frequently seen. Greek_draperies are in great favor now and will be more in vosue in the fall. Some gowns have classic folds that cling to the figure; some are draped with leng, statuesque folds, and some have short draperies reaching just below the knee. You can get patent leather belts in a considerable range of modish 1- ors this year, and the reds, greens and blues are gery smart with simple frocks whose trimming strikes the col- or note of the belt. The French dress- makers combine patent leather with the frock material in many of their belts. How to Make Bow Legs Straight. “An old German remedy my grand- mother used with. a little baw-legged| boy in our neighborhood who could not walk at all is simple and costs nothing. Each morning she bathed his limbs by sitting him in a pan of dish- water and when pouring the water from boiléd potatoes this was added to the water used in _washing the dishes. It gave strength to the little bones and he grew to manhood straight, and strong. Of course it took months to do it.

The Safe Way. h While the “standpatters” of the old gpard are thus p ng for action, the outlawed insurgents are planning to work together with more or less co- operation, and it would not be surpris- ing if a distinct organization should appear. The announcement that Colo- nel Roosevelt will speak for Senator Beveridge in Indiana has doubtless brought joy to the heart of every in- surgent ‘in _the country, and that speech can hardly fail to be a helg to them all. By this time, moreover, the experience of Congressman Poindexter has probably suggested to other Insur- gents the course for them to follow when questioned by the reporters after visiting the great man at Oyster Eay. Like the astute La Follette, should emile gleefully and declary all is tisfactory and ‘that “every prospect pleases,” but they should b ware of any definite statement except to say that Colonel Roosevelt “is the greatest living American.” This las may be recommended as subjecting them to no danger of contradiction or of elevation to the Ananias Springfield Republi Neat Little Bloomers.
