Cos as 1 Bullet!: w Bolitia Bahag 3 companies are building may be docked there. gurle ;S “We doubt, however, whether ' the ghost will really frighten sensible peo- ple, It is pretty clear that the appa- rition is only an artificial sheet and pillow case affair. Suppose -all the many millions of dollars necessary were expended, on the eastern end of Long Island in the creation of docks, piers, railway terminals, shops and warehouses, and a city to house the army of workers required to carry on all these appurtenances. Suppose all this were done, could freight or pas- semgers be handled more economically through such a port than through New York? It is evident that the trans- portation itself would be more expen- e. To shorten by about a hundred miles’ distance and four to five hours’ time the transatlantic passage reduces the cost of the steamer’s voyage only a very small amount. On the oppo- site side, however, is the added cost of 100 miles of rail haul, and, what is more important still, the added cost in mony cases of extra handling or transfer of freight, freight cars or passengers. “The only way in which the pro- posed port could effect a saving in total transportation cost would be by reducing the terminal expenses over those now prevalling at New York city. It js not easy to see how even this could be done. Railway freight to or from Long Island would still have to pass through the crowded terminals of New York eity and would have to be trhnsferred by water from the mainland to Long Island. “Agailn, at the present day, it is impossible to carry on tramsportation business economically on a small scale. The Montauk terminal would have to be capable of handling a large volume of traffic and the plant there would represent a huge outlay. The interest and maintenance charges on this outlay would amount to a large sum per annum, which must, in one way or other, be assessed upon the commerce passing through this port. It Would probably be found that at besf the necessary expenses via the Montauk route would be as great as or greater than the commercial routes via the ports of Boston or Philadelphia or Baltimore or Norfolk.' WANTS A GREAT CAMPFIRE. Boston is making a movement for a great campfire to be held by the Massachusetts civil war veterans on Patriots’ day, April 19th. The Boston Post says “the move- ment deserves, to be taken up by all the patriotic socleties and the citizens of the state. Nothing could be more suggestive and fine than that on this date, sacred to the beginning of the revolution, and within a few days of fifty years after the fall of Fort Sum- ter, this commonwealth’s survivors of the great conflict shall hold one splen- did campfire together before the final mustering out.” And The Post says further: “If this inspiring plan shall be carried into effect, the old soldiers may rely upon Boston and all its people for a recep- tion and for entertainment that- shall make their still stout hearts thrill Mareh 4......0.0000 NEED A TUBERCULOSIS CAMP. The fight against the great witite plague is general, and the results are so0 satisfactory that the demand for tuberculosis camps is ever on the in- crease. There are at present, three in this state, and not one within 75 miles of Norwich. The petition sent In from Norwich for the establishment of & camp here will come up for & hearing next week Wednesday, and since it has the support of the physielans and leading citisens generally, it is ex~ pected that there will be a good at~- tendance in the interest of locating the camp upon some of the hills in the vicinity of Norwich, of which there are many that are Inviting Because of the heaithfulness of the situation as well as for the pleasant views they command. Bastern Connecticut needs one of these tuberculesis camps, and Nor- wich is accessible to three counties, and certainly offers most inviting sites for such a camp; and there are pa- tients enmough in this part of the state to warrant the outlay. ‘There are many reasonable objec- tions to the removal of tuberculosis patients many miles from home; and the percentage of good results may be greatly increased by so locating these camps that they may be convenient for those who need them most, and thesa are the very ones who cannot make long journeys even to save their lives. Norwich, by virtue of its easterly and central loeation, has the largest natural claim for the establishment of sucha eamp; but that will not do it, for it needs not enly the personal endeav- or of our best citiszens, but also the co-operation of all the interested peo. ple in this part of the state, by whom it is recognized as an Institution need- ed as much here as in any place in the state. BOSTON A8 A DIVORCE CENTER. The whole country thinks of Reno, Ne as an easy divorce center, and still it is not so much more of a mar- riage dissolving center than Boston. We notice by a Boston paper that aceording to the report of the clerk of the superior court of Suffolk county —including Beston, Chelsea, Winthrop and Revere—more than 1,600 applica- tions for divorce were pending in this jurisdiction on January 1 of the cur- rent year. During the year then clos- ing 881 new cses were entered, of which 749 were heard and 594 divorces were granted. The records tell that desertion ac- counts for 241, the majority being women; In cruel and abusivd treat- ment the men seem to have been largely - the afle‘d:rs; while “intoxi- cation” numbers more than twice the number ‘of women. Also in ‘“nom- support. 5 This same Boston paffer says: “Al- though the average thromghout the state falls far below that of Suffolk county, the figures for this locality look to a rivalry with Reno, Nev, The population of the New England me- tropolis lends itself to this service.” OF EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: It is.a fine accomplishment to be able to be happy although much alone. It is noted that 192 automobiles wel- comed Senator Lorimer home. This overlaps the brass-band reception. The. Ottowa (Canada) Citizen is of the opinion that President Taft is a little too big to be easily side-tracked Senator Bailey pleased some people in Texas mightily when he resigned, although he immediately issued a re- call. The London hotels have decided that 1t is worth $50 a day to patrons to be accommodated during the coronation festivities. AN e Indiana has made the town the unit for local option instead of the county, as is the practice of some of the south-. ern states. The Missouri democrats in conven- tion recently heartily endorsed Thom- as Jefferson, although they forgot to mention Mr. Bryan. If Lorimer and Cullom would both resign as senators they have the as- surance that they would thus make their constituents happy. A HIGH-PRICED TARGET. The battleship Texas has become ob- solete and has beem consigned for target practice for the modern battle- #ships of the mavy, a mavy of which it was not so long ago the pride. In the se days, new fighting ships are soon. oli and the millions invested in them #con lost. The Texas, like her later sisier, the ill-fated Maine, s one of the vessels which carry their main bat- tesies in turrets placed diagonally on their hull Waste, us the building of battleships seems, still, for a strong country situated like America, ®strong mavy is the most economical defense. ¥or, with a fortified Panama canal to wllow of free passage between our coasts, and with proper naval bases along our shores, we are safe from in- vasion and are spared the need of a huge army. No nation is going to risk invasion while the chance remains of the invaders being shut in the en- raged and hostile country, by the in- vaded destroying the invader's navy and getting control of the highways of the sea. Atlanta, it is;suggested that it would be Atlanta, it sugges that it would be pleasing to old friends if he would run over to Augusta and play golf. The fact that profanity over the tel- ephone is constantly becoming less, shows that the telephone rules have a real restraining if not moral effect. Anti-Lorimer mass meetings are all the rage in the west, and the senators who stood by him are not only being severely -criticised, but advised to re- sign. If a man like Sheehan should get into the United States senate and get to filibustering, what evidence is there that he would ever know enough to stop? A hungry negro who had stolen two pies was whipped in Delaware, the other day. It would look better i stripes were applied to the backs o the Morses. Governor Fess has pardoned nine men from prison in Massachusetts in the past two months, This is & new way for the governer of that state to distinguish himself. Senater Lorimer is saying that ev- ery protesting meeting held is a con- tinuation “of the conspiracy. He has brass enough to fit out a hundred brass bands. When men get to calling the political caucus names they strike it heavy. It has been called “an archeological monstrosity” and “an artificlal nebu- losity,” this week.

It is ten chances to one that the hard-luck story teller never took to hard work, anyway. Hard luck seldom overtakes a man who has hard work for his daily portion. It has never done any one in this world good to have too much time on his hands. If hard work ever killed a man it has always escaped mention in his obituary. .Hard work is not popular, and the average man is usually look- ing for a soft snap instead. This pre- scription for the .cure of hard luck is | no more likely to be taken than the average doctor's dose of ticdolereaux, although we feel able to recommend. it with perfect confidence. The average man isn’t praying for bard work, any more than the average rogue is pray- ing for justice. A moment’s thought satisfles ‘one this is what neither one of them want. t . illiam Cullen Bryant who t ‘The stormy March has come at last, with wind and cloud and changing skies, I hear the rushing of the blast, that through the snowy val- ley flies.” This isn’'t always true of March, for the month is often mel- low and balmy. It gives us the first spring haze, the pussy-willows and the first flowers, and in ne month does the trill of the song sparrow sound pleasanter or more welcome to the ear. What if the winds do blow, so long as the crocuses look up to the sun and the bluebirds warble in the trees. If Old Boreas has taken March to himself as a time to dry up spring mud, he no doubt gave rise te the proverb that “a peck of March dust is worth a king’s ransom.” And it is the March winds that blow the dead leaves away to give place to the green. It is also said: “As the rains of March so are the rains of June’™ which shows that not only March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers, but both are interwoven with the output of June. Man does not half appreciate the importance and_value'of pure water in its relation to health and strength. It is the opinion of not a few that sky- .water is better for all uses than any other kind of water; and that the pro- tecting umbrella is just a “disease of civilization.” They claim that there is a quality fn heaven's downpour not to be found in sea-water or lake-water, or any other water; that it contains “ozone, and air, and x-ingredients;and n-rays,and all sorts of blessed, subtle, and mysterious delights;” that it does a man more good than barm to be wet down in it, and that after the rub-down every physical sensibility within him laughs and blooms, and the dust is all washed from off his mind, that he is in a mood to sinz as he works and to forgive all men their trespasses against him. This may be a mere rhapsody, of course, but it reads very much like an experience. To tell which it is—try it. It is not strange that a man feels like doing those he has been done by. There is such an amount of human nature in us that the nicer principles often get a setback. . There is no doubt that the Golden Rule would work better; but man is so consti- tuted that heedoes not like to be out of fashion, and he really is too much of a coward to be so different from others. Man can profess as no other creature can, and-he doesn’t appear to be distressed by not living up to his pretences. If he is challenged for his failures he usually calls attention to the fact that no one else lives up to theirs. The few who have learned not to retaliate do not hesitate to say that they have found peace of mind and something the rest have missed; but they speak usually to deaf ears or froward minds. It is really strange that man shows more loyalty to nat- ural impulses than to the higher in- spiration which prompts his soul. The Tyrolean caps the girls have been wearing the past winter have been very comfortable; but they are finding_some trouble In abandoning them this spring. Several who have gone back to the hat with a brim have caught cold, and been under the weather in consequence. This styls of headgear appears to be as hard to shake as a bad habit, and the young women are declaring that when once they get rid of it, nothing approaching it will ever again be adopted by them. They have been so very warm that they have ‘enjoyed them, and this_is why they are so difficult to lay aside early in the season. Whoever tries it gets a cold in the head; and is indeed fortunate if they keep out of the doc- tor’s hands. It costs as much fto shake the Tyrolean cap as two new hats are worth. - This makes it a deception and a snare to be ever after avoided. The man whose every day talk is soft is not likely to become popular with- the girls. This sort of talk is like confectionery—it should be of the nicest flavor and be infrequently dis- tributed. An amusing story is being told of a young woman whom such a chap imposed himself upon in a neigh- boring city, and as a clerk in a public building she was obliged to politely escort him from room to room. He annoyed her so by his attentions and sweet compliments that she finally turned him into an empty room and turned the key and then went back to ‘her desk.. She did not care how he got out; but an hour afterward she saw him sneak into the office in which she was employed and quiefly pick up his grip and noiselessly slip out with- out saying good by. When the young man who released him found out how he came there he was too pleased to keep it to himself, and printed it as an intimation that soft talk was not popular to busy girls in the public service. | presume that the women oftener than the men notice that the fashion- able hat marked down dn the milli- ne window is never a dream, but usually a revelation. To see a great bunch of ribbons and feathers and things—I should be more explicit if I knew what to call them—marked down from $7.75 to $2.30 seems teo in- dicate that Desperation is out for a trade. Of course, a 60 per cent. cut looks Mke a sacrifice, and if I had not heard a milliner had said that “it was not fabrics that counted up in the cost of hats, but the style.” Imight have this represented a great sac- it— Well, - what can we make nyway, for the style is all there at the lesser price, and the seller may make a satisfactory profit on at that. It is difficult to measure, weigh or estimate style. It 1s not strange aippearance, whose gests the !::d- why E tour straight across the con- tinent.

Audubon and the ploneer ornithologist did not the il grosbeal row.” It is a far cry from the pines of Oregon and Washington to elms and maples of Norwich. But drawn from the far-away forests by an irre- sistible impulse, & band of these beau- tiful birds have been making a long visit in.town, apparently pleased with their surroundings. This company was first reported by teamsters as a “flock of 60 unknown birds feeding on sugar maple trees” near Hatchet pond in ‘Worcester county, the source of the Quinebsug, early in December. From there they went six miles due east to Southi ige, Mass., where my corre- spondents and many others saw them at work on the maple trees, but busiest on the mountain ash trees. Then next we find them in two divisions—one of twenty birds six miles southeast at the Potter homestead—in tl English Neighborhood, North Woodstock, Conn. 'his place is surrounded by maples and was found most suitable for a rest of a week. Mrs. Potter pald much at- tention to the new arrivals and on the 20th of December was osrtain that they were evening grosbeaks. Miss Sarah Potter and Miss Mary Potter, school teachers, were home on the 23d, 24th and 26th of December, and with powerful glasses confirmed Mrs. Pot- ter’s opinfon. It wae an excellent ob- ject lesson to these teachers and their puplls may get a grain' of knowledge birdwise from it. Again, two miles to the southeast, I had a glimpse of & few of them on Mrs. Back’s mountain ash, and of the same scouts or others pick- ing the few berries on the two moun- tain ash trees in front of the public hall at Village Corners. ! 3 nent author would find a lot of local material.

Walter Raine of Toronto, who has a stupendous collzction, and collectors all over the world, says in Bird Nesting in Northwest Canada: “Egsgs of the evening grosbeak are al- most unknown in collections and are therefore very valuable.” Merrill was e st $o aee v nesting in an inac- cessible Oregon pine. The first nest and eggs on record were taken by John Swinbursde in a thickly wooded canyon fifteen miles west of Springville, Apache county, Arizona, June 5, 1884, The second was found May 10, 1886, by E. H. Fisk in Yolo county, Cali- fornia. I have never Seen an egg and know of none held by any of my ex- change correspondents today. Eggs of rose-breasted, blue and black-headed grosbeaks I find are common with col- lectors, but pine grosbeak’s eggs are also rare because they breed late in February in icy surroundings. Both rosy-breast and pine make fine -cage birds, sing well and breed in confine- ment. But the evening bird does not thrive in captivity and its song is not attractive. One body of twenty, straggling in groups through the village, directly east, came in & bunch for a short stay to the Morse barn, where they were easily identified, and to the John May farm, East Woodstock, where Mrs. May made hospitable attempts to feed the handsome strangers.

But far and away ahead of the big-wig bird doctors, in interest and records and incidents of the great eastern flights, in winter of 1889 and 1890, by Amos W. Cutler, .in Vol. IX, page 238 of the Auk, and in the Auk, Vol. X, page 155. In that migration—if it could be so called—there were half a dozen Con- necticut records. I saw only pines at Norwich that season, but when hunt- ing snowy owls around the Winthrop woods on Fort Hill and Bushy Point, Groton, for two days, I followed a bunch of evenings feeding on the swamp and eugar maples, false bitter- sweet and rotten apple seeds. There werz about forty birds and omly six good males. I shot none, but in that great flight many specimens were tak- en for American and foreign cabinets.

What does he know about a woman's headgear, anyhow? . themselves' rather disagreeable and ir- ritating, have to be, as the world is now constituted, in the interests of something better by and by. Over and over again parents have to fall back upon this bellef, when the small boy behaves like a wild Indian, when not even the latest and prettiest picture- book will tempt him to sit still for five minutes. You can resort, if you think best—and.there may be times when it is best—to forcible measures of re- pression, or, without yielding any vital peint, you can work on the theory that a Small boy is first of all an animal, that he must have times of kicking up his heels and of demonstrating how much lung power he possesses. Would you curb that energy if you could? It is the one great source of industrial and social progress. If the boys and young men had not been animals in the past, who would have fought the wars for freedom, or tunnelled the mountains, or bridged the rivers, or devised and administered the great ‘business enterprises? An old professor has just died at Amberst college, who, for fifty years, met generation after generation of col- lege students on this principle of the eudurance test. “Boys will be boys” was the most frequent sentence on his lips when He had to Dlead before the faculty for some young scapegrace. He meant that they could never be- come men without glving scope to the boy element in them. So this pro- fessor became the friend of count- less students and the most influential continuous moral force connected with the college in a half century. It is not often that the vanity ot the sexes cgn be so truly decided that a wager cah be settled against either party; but in a neighboring town where the vanity of the women in ad- miring themselves in a mirror dis- played in a show window was under discussion, a chivalrous “gent” bet a five dollar note that the women were no more vain than the men, and a youngster covered the bet, for youth Ventures where age declines to take part. It was decided that a test of twenty of each sex should be made, and they were watched and counted. When the count was concluded it was found that fifteen men had stopped to look themselves over in the glass, while only thirteen women had noticed there was a mirror in the window, in- cluding those who looked to see If their hats were on straight. It is al- ways well enough to talk about the vanity of women; but it 1s absolute folly to arrange tests of this sort, if the men expect to support their aver- ment. One statistical case of this kind makes the saying, “woman is as vain as a peacock,” look more like a maliélous fabrication than like the trut /| SUNDAY MORNING TALK i THE ENDURANGE TEST. “We have to have just about so muich disagreeable weather along this time of year,” said a man cheerfully struggling through the slush the other stormy morning, “and wp might as well have it now and get tarough with it.” Sensible man, whose vision sees beyond the immediate situation, who takes into consideration the necessity of storm as well as sunshine if the rivers are to continue to flow and the earth to bring forth its increase. And maybe this particular optimist had in mind also the invigorating effects up- on character of all sorts of weather. Perhaps he has read up on New Eng- land weather history and has not for- jgotten those bleak winters at Plym- outh in the early years of the settle- ment of the country and the hardy virtues developed by the effort to wrest from barrem soil a decent Iiv- But it is not only the small boy who disturbs_the parent, but the growing lads and lasses, especially when they are blossoming into young men and young women.

And here, too, it is well te remember that this particular period as well as the earlier stage has to be gone through, that it lays its own claim upon young life, that it cannot and ought not to be avoided, that the principle of wise influence and prudent discrimination should govern parental activity rather than that of harsh and drastic pro- hibition.
