The interstate order forbidding in- terstate commerce in foods containing saccharin after July 1, Ras been held up, and is likely to be for some time, although the necessity for such a pro- hibition hes for years been recognized. It 1g said the order has not yet been issued, owing to the absemce of Sec- retary MacVeagh from the hearing, but the trunk full of data which the Remeen board has submitted has been returned to’it for “revision,” and it will probably be four menths before the “revised” report will be published. Meanwate, it would be scarcely fair to the manufacturers to prohibit the sale of their goods, would it? The whole affait has amused scien- tific circles, for sacoharin in foods wag condemned years ago. So een- clusive wers the results of investiga- tions in this country and abread that Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, did not consider it worth while to conduct an independ- ent Investigation, but proposed to pro- ceed directly against manufactirers using it in place of sugar. Learning of this fact, they exerted their influ- ence and had the question referred to the Remsen board, Dr. Ira Remsen, president of the board, being the dis- coverer of saccharin, Now. after three vearg of deliberation, that board has sustained Dr. Wiley's position. Up to date the Remsen board, which has cost the government several hundred thou- sand dollars and which now receives an allowance of $60,000 per annum, has rendered two decisions, one on benzo- 1905, average ......cee Week ending June 3.....eiiennnn ate of soda reversing Dr. Wiley and one om saccharin sustaining him. JEFFRIES AND JOHNSON GO ABROAD. The coronation of King George is calling men of ability and distinction to London from all parts of the earth. The great sports, which include the champion pugilists, will all be there and be cordially welcomed by the sporting world, which includes both titled and untitied personages. Jef- fries will get there first, but he will not be the figure among them Jack Johnson will be. This colored gentle- man will take twenty new suits with him, rigat from the most fashionable shops in Chicago, and with his present outfit he can make a change twice a day for 30 days without repeating. Besides his wife and family he takes with him three of his trainers, and it looks as if he would cut a swath ameong the well-dressed. It would not be strange if he had an audience with the king befere his return, for royaity likes to see the wearers of champion belts—the world's hardest hitters. It is to be presumed that Jack will give # few exhibitions and make a pot of amoney there; and let us hope that his speed mania is under complete control, =0 if he ventures out in an automobile he will not meach a prison instead of his destination. This country is likely to miss Mr. Jofinson and his liberal contributions to the public revenues. In Lendon he not be in danger of being arrested “because he is a bru- nette in a blonde town!” HOW JEFFERSON CUT A BIG CHEESE. The making of the great cheese.in Minnesota to weigh 100,000 pounds, for exhibition at the state fair this fall. prompts the Richmond® Times- Pespateh to recall the Cheshire cheese given to President Jefferson in 1802 as a New Year's gift, which weighed 1,236 pounds. It was made by Elder John Leland, a Massachusetts demo- 4% inches in diameter and 18 inches through. Mr. Jefferson heartily appreciated the gift, and cencluded his speech to these who made the presentation thus: “And now, my reverend and most respected friend, I will, with the con- sant and in the presence of my cabi- net officers. proceed to have this mon- ster eut, and vou will take back to vour Berkshire home a poriion of it that your people may test its richness, flaver and quality, and you will con- vey to them my heartiest thanks. Tell them never to falter intheir prinei- ples which they have 50 nobly ds fended, having bravely and success- fully’dome to the rescue of qur be- loved ceuntry in the time of its deep- est and greatest peril. I wish them heaith and prosperity, and that rivers of milk may never cease to abund- antly flow into, not only themselves, hut their posterity.” This Minnesota cheese is to be about nine times as big as Jefferson’'s and when cut will have to be cut like the monster trees, with a saw. Colleme Professers do not make bet- ter husba than other men. An- other is beirig sued for a diveree. of Liverpool, and across to New York or to Canada. What all' this means to a small ceuntry with only 4,500,000 of populatien, says a writer familiar with the country, can hardly be realized un- less one travels through the country districts, the places where farm labor- ers and smart tenant farmers, and strong, athletic tradesmen, with here and there a studious yvouth who looks farther than manual labor for a career, are raised. It is these districts which are feeling the drain of young life, and not the large towns. For although 40000 is not a large proportion of 4,509,000, it must be remembered that the 40,000 are all young and strong, and full of high hopes and. fine reso- lutions, and with their way to make; while the 4,500,000 contain the very young and the very old, the women and the children, the infirm and the incapable, and these who require just the strong arms of those who are leaving them. This is the sad feature of the emigration “boom,” as it is called. In many country distriets in Scotland the proportion of young men and young women is alarmingly low, -and it will be lower still before the, close of this year. THE ANNUAL FIRE LOSS. The great annual fire loss in this country Is truly our disgrace, for it amoeunts to a tax of 3250 per capita upon our 95 millions of population. I addition to this 1,500 people lose their lives annually and 6,000 are injured by fires. In fighting forest fires last vear 76 men employed by the government lost their lives, and nearly 5000,000 acres of national forest land were burned over, an area greater than New Jer- sey, or Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The New York Independent, com- menting upon the losses by fire in this ountry, savs. “The fire losses in the United States during 1910 would pay off the total interest-bearing debt of the country in four years. They would pay for building the Panama canal in two years. They exceed the toial cost of the army and navy of the United States for one year. and are greater thangthe annual expenditure for pen- sions or the annual cost of the United States postal seryice” ~ It certainly seems as if a way should be discovered to. reduce this loss at, least one-half.

They |’ could put their minds to better use— to -comforting instead of distressing There are few persons who sympa- thize with the man who claims he has been driven to drink. The man who thinks he is used badly and then proceeds to use himself worse to plague his tormenters hasn't sense enough to command sympathy or re- spect. It is remarkable how much easier this type of a man is driven to drink than he can be driven away from it. When i:e puts into his mouth that which will steal away his to puhish someone else, he confesses to being as weak and foolish as it is possible for him to be and still be called a man. It is the only instance known in Hfe where voluntary folly is charged up to a force which really Bas no existence. As it is worked against a wife and family it is about s shabby a trick as a man was ever guilty of. As a manifestion of spite it lowers anyone to the level of a dog —a vicious dog at that! The man who drowns sorrow by adding sorrow to sorrow from the cup is closely re- lated to him. It seems as if he and the man driven to drink were designed to sympathize with one another. How any one can sympathize with either is not so easy to cipher out. The ruby throated humming birds have arrived and are still on their northward flight. These midgets after wintering in the tropics fly clear to Labrador for summer nesting places | . It is claimed that some of these litile birds winter as far south as Brazil. and our own little sum- mer visitor Winters in Florida, what a flight it is from there to its most northerly limit, a distane® of from two thousand to twenty-five hundred miles. We used to know an aged lady who 'in her days of invalidism used to decoy these little beauties to her room just as soon as they apeared in the spring, and kept them in great gauze cages, often giving them the freedom of her room: and in late ‘August she used to open her windows and let them journmey with theif own to winter in a southern clime. She dia this for many seasons and when it came to bird lore, no one knew more about the peculiarities of these tiny beauties than she. On the 30th of May | noticed the first full-fledged robins of the season on the dahlia patch taking lessons in self-reliance and grub hunting. They were preity creaturss with their spot- ted breasts and ringed necks and were nearly as tame as chickens; hence, we kept the cat well stuffed with salmon and had an_eve for their protection. Once in a while the mother bird would fly to a bough of the pear tree and give the chiliren a treai; and then she would take them down in between the dallias and teach them to grub for themselyes. Now they run by themselves very much and 1 was sur- prised to see ome young robin stub his toe and. tumble forward just like a toddling infant. If they were more apprehensive it would please me more, for it seems to me that I am.worried more for fear they will get hurt than the mother birds be. 1 do not remem- ber having er seen full-fledged young robins earlier than this: and it has not been a particularly good year for birds, either. The advice a man’s wifé gives him is usually’ sound; and why it should irritate instead of soothe.and benefit him is not easy to understand. It some other woman had said it he would quite likely have complimented her upon her excellent. foresight or judgment. There are exceptions to this, of course, for husbands differ quiie a bit in their opinions of advice and the manner of treating it. Many a bad husband has declined to take aj good wife's counsel and when he reached the end of his tether an im-{ proved vision reveale@ 1o hin that he would have been wiser and known less trouble and. disgrace had he done so. | Tt is a male weakness not to like to be bossed by 4 woman: and some men re- | gard an; tempt at wise direction bossing; and miss good things through | lack of perception and discrimination. | wome1 know we are a geer lot. | have made our ewn reputation | them.

But a mo- ment later she was back again, as if not satisfied with her count, and made another angry protest. She did not drive the pair of blacks off the road, but her furious flurry caused a long halt in sheer surprise at the audacity of: the attack. The “first, last and only” nighthawk of the season on the evening of May 24, with no -cry, snapped up an early June bug within ten feet of my face, and then departed as silently and mys- teriously at it came. It was seen on two other farms here that same eve- ning, but has not been seen or heard since and is the first one seen here for two year: Why are there none here and why is it so rare elsewhere in Connecticut? It used- to be so commmon in both eastern counties that early haymakers on every farm found a pair of the long, marbled eggs, in a dry spot in a mowing lot where there was no sign of a nest. Three pairs formerly bred o the Bently farm. at Sunnyside. two pairs on Cobb firm; Norwich Town, a dezen pairs in Long society, and I once found them breed- ing freely on Blue, Bashan and McCal! hills in Bozrah, around Preston and Avery’'s pond, at Gardner lake, in Vol- untown, Ledyard, and Westchester. In 1876, when looking up the orchard ori- oles, herons, warblers and plovers of Groton L.ong Point, I found eleven sets of esgs; its disappearance here may be accounted for_in part, as the bloody butchers ‘n the Noank Gun club prac- ticed wing sheoting on these easily shot birds.

'Yet, its near relative, the whippoor- will, hag increased in some places, and this change can in one sense be called a reversion of species. On the eye- ing of June 2, while driving from outhbridge to North Woodstock, a distance of five miles, the birds were calling every half-mile, and a trio of 'poorwills were complaining at the door of the Quail Trap on cur arrival The tops of our sprouting peas have been eaten off by belfrey pigeons, but we did not shoot the doves—simiply planted more peas.
