It takes the boys from city streets to a common center, and they become less of a dis- turbing element to the sick and less of a menace to the peace of neighbor- hoods in which they play ball, race across gardens in their play and do a variety of mischief which is more an- noying than oriminal. The district neighborhood play- ground is not orfly a relief to congest- ed meighborhoeds, but a disciplinary and educative place for the youngsters in well directed and orderly sports and games. These grounds are often donated by wealthy citizens after whom they are sometimes named: they are given as memorial greusds bearing the name of some loved child or person: and they are given by greups of able citizens who give them a distinctive name, and funds are sometimes raised by popu- lar subsecription. It matters little how 1005, average . Week ending the playgrounds are acquired if they| are made ample and. secure for all time, It is now only a guestion which dis- trict in Norwich will found a public pll)'l:rflund first. POLITIOAL MANEUVERING. Political maneuvering is becoming an everyday affair in the Connecticut senate, that threugh a technical ad- vantage the minority can beat the majority, or the tail wag the dog. If a legislative day and a calendar day were the same, the trick would work; but there are political tricks that beat the calendar, and the senate is recessing instead of adjourning, to prevent the eélapse of the calendar days which would give the governor power to make an appointment without the advice and censent of the senate. If ten legislative ‘days elapse be- fore the senate confirms or rejects the nomination from the time it is made that nemination will ebtain de- fauit. The democrats think that by delaying a vete on the matter they can make the time elapse without actien The republicans reswond by rec instead of adjourning, and so the eighth day, which was Tuesday, can continue until one or the other wears out, The democrats want all of the loaves and fishes if they can get them, and seeing their hunge Governer Bald- win appears to be inclined to co-oper- ate with them if by any technicality he is given an oppertunity. Sonie of .the wesatern baseball fans decline to take off their winter under- clothing until the home team has won ten straight games: hence some wear them most all summer. The practice of yawning daily may be as healthy as a Philadelphia doctor tainks, but since more than one jaw has been dislocated by the habit we'll not take the risk, The Ameérican farms produced $104,- 000,000 more than they did the preced- ing year.

It is said that in the Philippines where Mr. Taft was governor general, there is a suspicion that Her velvety social touch had about as much to do in softening the Little Brown Brother as the rough blows of our sol- diers. After a Filipino had run his legs off in the swamps with our soldiers an hour or two behind him, his views on independence were quite pronounced. After Mrs. Taft had deposited some lemon tea and pink wafers in the gov- ernor general's clamoring interior, and had asked him to come around and sit on the piazza while the band plaved his political views were apt to under- g0 some modificatien, Those who know Mrs. Taft, speak of her highly strung,and sensitive per- sonality;, with its more tender side screened by the most perfect poise that cuiture and knowledge of the big world's manners can give. Her physical condition just at pres- ent calls for a change and a rest; and the entire country shares in the solicitude for her future and the-hope that she soon may be fully restered to health, THE LATE GOV. CHAMBERLAIN The late Gov. Abiram Chamberlain of Meriden had warm-hearted friends in all parts of the state; and nowhere was he held in higher esteem than in the newspaper effices toward which he always maintained a most affectionate relation; and the kindly words regard- ing him appearing in the papers gives evidence of the friendly favor he found there. Speaking of his demise, the Meriden Journal said: “QOur best loved citizen is dead. The people of the state regret the passing of a man who gained high reputation as an executive, a man who looked after their interests and a man who gave Connecticut a fine, clean admin- istration of ite affairs. “Here in Meriden we grieve because we have lost ene who for over forty years was closely identified with our lives, a friend and a neighbor. We were glad vhen he was elected gov- ernor, for we knew the office came to him in appreciation of his many qual- ities and we were elated that the peo- ple of the state had awakened to the realization of something that we had always known. “He made friends and he kept them. He was a man of rare persenal charm who evinced interest in our daily affairs. If there were illness in our families he extended sympathy, and if there were joys he rejoiced with us.” It is not strange that of such a man the Waterbury American is prompted to say: “A soft cloud and an easy-playing harp for °‘Bi’ Chamberlain in the place whither he has gone! He was a steady-going business man, a sensi- ble governor, but it was as ‘a jolly good fellow’ on the social side of his official life that he was most distine- tive. His accomplishment is the do- ing of average ‘things well, contribut- ing constantly to the enjoyment of life by others and promoting good feeling among men.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

LETTERS TO THE EDITDR Mr. Editor: I wish that everyone in Norwich, who takes any pride in ths cleanly appearance of our streets,would take part and help the styeet commis- sioner to keep them clean. Two or more weeks ago several men were seen around in different parts of the city preparing the- streets for oil. And, Say! Didn’t our streets look fine when they had finished? Well, T guess! 1 was standing at the window this autiful morning, looking quite a dis- tance dewn the street and thinking to myself how beautiful is our city with its nice clean streets, when along comes two ash carts full to the. top and running over, every jolt dropping paper or a tin can or some kind of rubbish as far as I could see; and the light wind blowing the papers off the top, as well. And T thought to myself: “O the use, to clean the. streets Let us see if we can get the people interested in clean streets, particularly these fruit stand dealers, who unwrap what's om. Let crats ride in their motor cars; rn- ing the dust of the king's hm as the poet says, but give me a horee every time.” “I don’t intend to- give you a horse or anything else, except a piece of my mind,” said Mrs. Curfew, resentfully. “The idea of a perfect stranger with red chin whiskers.coming to my door just when I'm busy cumn; up :the meat for a stew and asking me to give him a horse!” & “1 didn’t mean that should give me a horse, madam,” explained the peli strznger uratively. I have been informed that you o a horse and-that it is ;v and emaciated, and scarcely the thing for a refined and tultured laiy. like yourself. A womah must nold her head up in society and meet her friends upon an equal footing, and she éan't do that if she drives an old plug with bones sticking out of it in every direc- tion. And it is unnecessary. One “of our greatest scientists, Dr. Swinglow, formerly veterinarian to the roval family of Denmark, has com- pounded a condition powder that will make the most woebegone old skate of a horsa look like the charger on which Alexander rode to crimson victory. This powder——" “I wouldn’t buy any of your powder if you sold it for 5 cents a barrel and threw in a picture of George Wash- ington crossing the .ce pursued by imported Siberian blopdhounds, and a troupe of jubilee singers,” cried Mrs. Curfew, impatiently. My daughter, whe teaches school in the country, was in town on Sunday to visit me and she told me what happened to Mr. Sparks, and that’'s all I want to know about condition powders. My daugh- ter boards with Mr. Sparks, who is a prominent farmer &and a fine man. _— fruit and throw the paper upon the sidewalk. After all that was done to it, look at Franklin street now, from Grove street to the square. It is too bad. We shali not look nice for Memorial day. In my cellar in a row hang six bags, and every scrap of waste paper goes into them—nothing in my ash barrel but ashes or tins. Can we not have clean strests as well as some other cities? THE OBSERVER. Norwich, May 18, 1911. SINGULARITIES. There was recently had before. the Zoological society of London a mathe- matical discussion of the differences in the shape of eggs. A few eggs, like those of the owl and the tortQise, are spherical, or nearly so; a few, like the grebe’s or the cormorant’s, are ellip- tical, with symmetrical ends; the great majority, like the hen’'s, are| ovoid, or blunter at one end than the | other. - Eggs that are the most unsym- metrical are also eggs of large size relatively to the parent birds. The yolks of eggs are spherical, whatever the form of the entire egg may. be. This has been shown to be due to their being inclosed in a fluid, the “white,” which makes the pressure everywhere on the surface of the yolk practically constant. By a kind of horticultural irony, the dahlia, that popular flower that so often forms a conspicuous display at flower shows has a dreadfully pro- saic parentage. It has beem developed from the Mexican tubers intreduced about vears ago by the Swedish naturalist, Dr. Dahl, for the purely commercial purpose of Supplementing the potato! The doctor's scheme did not meet with favor, and the dahlia dish soon disappeared from British tables, but the gardeners of the -old country at once perceived the great potentialities of the flower, The tubers of the dahlia, too acrid for most tastes, are still eaten in some parts of France. Small boys and people of poor di- gestion, if the bulletin of the Towa experiment station is to be believed, need no longer curb their appettite for ice créam, for the more lacto they eat the healthier they will become. Lacto is new frozen dairy product invented | by the station. It is made of loppered whole or skim miik, with the addition of eggs., sugar, material. It was a very pleasant fla vor and it supplies the body with lac- tic acid bacteria, which eminent ‘sci- entists say is a means of improving health and prolonging life. A Baptist Crusade. The Rev.

Baptist meetings in May, 1914, are i to form the climax of the celebration, probably to be held in Boston. Pil- grimages will then be made to An- | dover, Salém, Plymouth and Malden, all places identified closely with Bap- tists and with foreign missions. The Judson centennial is the celebra- | tion of an event unique in religious annals, an event from which sprang all Baptist organized work in America and abroad. Adoniram Judson and his wife, with Luther Rice, starting for missionary fields as Congregational- ists, changed their beliefs to Baptist ones on their way. They sought from distant farther India to begin work under an American religious body with which they were unacquainted. The incident drew Baptists of all America together. Before they had been apart, scattered, poor, All that 1s now represented in the home and foreign mission work of the Northern Baptist convention, the Southern Baptist convention, and oth- er Baptist missionary organizations in the United States and Canada grew out of this change of religious beliefs on the part of these three missionaries on board ship, and the things result- ing from these changes.
