Seme ons has said that “it takes & thousand years to build a state”; and who is there can deny it? Connecticut, with fts splendid his- tery, is only s state in embryo. What it 1s should eoncern less €han what we propese to make it. State-making comprehends the ele- vation of meshoed and the inception and perfestion ef enterprise and in- stitutions which will reflect to future ages the wise conceptions, ability and power of thess,whe by their activity and Mberslity helped humanity for- ward. The measure of Mayor Mahan of New London for the development of o Saiktiron s of al state toront is of all-state interest because the mevement, which will give .the Blate the deepest as well as the most, attradtive and safest harbor on the Atlantic coast, will add te the #tate 's permanent bemefit which is n-wh-m-.- of life was ever .#.‘l"s It is for every Sk tords Mo bust ni he would make u T b o enis generation to do for jowt that which will redound to lmor a thousand vears. divine ‘once gald: ‘“We should so Hve and laber in our time that what came to us as seed may go to them as blossom; and what came 1o us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by prog- resst” The man of keen thought and re- sponsive aetion s a good leader; and Magor Mahan seems to be the man to juct tiils all-state campaign for the fullest developmment of the faeli- ties nature han given us for the future profit and*well being of the commen- wealth. “All that f human if it does not THE GRASPERS. jew Haven is in the throes of an emperience which is constantly repeat- ing itself ‘in the cities as a cheek to enterprise and to their detriment.

The neighborhood or district play- ground is just as necessary for cities as the schoolhouse, and parks are loi & substitute for them. They handy, they check the d!pudlflm ot boys upan private property, they pro- mote innocent games and healthful out of door exercise, and they make for saner citizenship. ~There is no end of good things which may be sald of these playgrounds and there 1s little to be said against.them. It is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when Norwich will have as many of them -as it has school districts. ¢ A GOOD AMERICAN. It has not taken Dr. Aked, who is & man of strong character, as well as irecognized scholarship, long te be- come an American, $ In a recent sermon on “A Plea for Intellectual Honesty” Dr. Aked sai “When I came here nearly four years ago some of you thought you were hurt because 1 swept out of the pulpit: the King James version of the Bible and showed myself a better American than vou are when I brought in the Ameri-~ can version of the Bib] In stating his reasons for resigming the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Bap- tist church of New York, Dr. Aked sald: I am resigning the pastorate here because I believe that I can do better work elsewhere. If 1 did not think 50, nothing in the world would fake me from you I have falled to rec- oncile myself to the conditions which 1imit our work and you have fatled to find & way of changing the condi- tions. And so it is right that I shonld %0 where I can do most good and you should find & pastof who can do his best work in the gracidus environment which you provide. v add that it will be kind to t upon this resignation .as arly as possible. 1 do not feel free to accept a call to another chureh un- tfl you have accepted my resignation. And it you are interested in my future movements you will perhaps allow me to say that I have had three sugges- tions from England, one attractive, hich I debated with myself for some little time. On Friday, however, I cabled, and wrote, definitely closing the discussion. I am' going to close my mind entirely against any thought of Teturning to Fngland now or. st any time, When you have acted up- on my resignation 1 shall aceept the call to Sen Francisco. I still believe, as I believed when I came here, that Dr. Aked has become an American, and he believes in this republic and its future and he promises to become one of its most celebrated clergymen.

Some: times they will go 1o other people, but are more likely to be afraid. I think g robably one which was tamed last vintef a8 it learned: more readily than new ones. At my old home aoma came early in the winter to the window-sill where food had been kept for them in the past.

Finally one took & bite from my hand, as it lay on the shelf and In a Week or so one waked down the tree to my hand and ate several bites. From November 20 both ceme guite readily to my hand. Once the male ate fitteen bites without going away. Ome day a third one ap- peared and was immediately driven away by Lady. Nuttle sat quietly on the tree and iet them settle the affair. Some days later it came again, but Lady would not sllow it to stay. Lady was the firat to come to the wi dow and always seems to be the first to find food, when it is put in a new ce; when Nuttie discovers that she something _he promptly drives her away and appropriates it. They- continued to come readily to my hand until about a month ago. Since then the male comes occasiona- 1y. I know no reasor why they should have become 's0_timid. Both come to the window for food. >~ 1 have noticed the nuthatches,chicka- dees 4nd juncos drinking the drops of water that form on the edge ‘of the, when the snow meits.

They ~also bedding under the berd shed. Since the second week in De. cember sevéral have learned to come to the window, ‘where they very little fear. A female downy woodpecker comes to the corner of the house to eat suet. Twice she has flown to the window. A sonk sparrow and two tree spar- Tows came to the door-step a number of times for food a few days ago. Sometimes a few Bnglish sparrows come. Occasionally a dozen. They always seem afraid, although we never frighten them. Their colors are fres and the markinge decided not at all like the dingy birds one sges in the city streets. I have seen very few myrtle warblers this winter. Once one came to the L roof a number of times. It seemed quite fearless.

Of -the larger birds, I see crows, jeys, meadow larks ani flickers. The latter were sucessful in raising a family near my home lnst summer. Flocks &f evening grosbeaks have been reported from two places nearby. In one of the lettrs in the children’s department of The Bulletin a short time ago mention is made of these birds, when the description given ap- plies to the rose-breasted grosbeaks, a reguldr summer bird in Connecticut. Last week luebirds lighted on the peat tree and caused much éxoite- among the chickadees, nut- atohes and Jupcos. Today, in addi. tion to the vsual bird notes, I have heard a bluebird and ja. song sparrow.
