STATE OF CONNECTICUT. By His Excellemcy, SIMEON E. BALDWIN, Governor, A Proclamatiosn. Pursuant to a venerable custom, priginating in 1639, the first year of ine history of this commonwealth, 1 ppoint Thursday. the 30th day of ovember, as a day of THANKSGIVING ‘o Almighty God for the blessings of he_year. While during its course other coun- tries have been and are the seat of war, and of all the sadness and suffer- sng that war invelves, our own land as been in perfect peace. For this; or the strong foundations of civil gov- rnment that our fathers laid: for the [:nng life of republican institutions in onnecticut as colony and state: and or free America, I recommend that on he date above mentioned our people ather in their homes and churches to ender reverent praise and thanks to the Giver of All Goed. Given under my hand and seal of the state, at the ocapitol in Hartford, this first day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand hine hundred nd eleven, and the independence of the bnl(od States the one hundred and thirty-sixth. (SIIEOQ IMEON E. BALDWIN. By xcellency’s command: MATTHBW H. ROGERS, Secretary. S——— A STAGNANT HARBOR. Tt is far from being neighborly for the Providence Jourmal to refer to New London’s deep-water approach as “s stagnamt harbor,” not in the sense that the waters are foul, but that ne business is doing therein. It provok- ingly tells New Iondon that it must make itself a hive of industry so that thers may be something at the mouth of the Thames with sufficient magnet- ism to attract commerce. Read this cruel knock at our sister city: ‘““he federal government has ex- pended $158,000 upon the New London harbor and $539,000 wpon the Thames river. The state recently appropriated 51,080,000 for New London. But previ- ocus expenditures by the government 4i4 not make New London a bristling seaport; and state ald costing Con- nectiout taxpayers $40,000 a vear in interest is not warranted unless the oity proceeds to prove that its old- iime reputation for lack of initiative, enterprise and commercial ability is no longer deserved. There are signs of an awakening along the Thames river, and perhaps the preference of the Grand Trunk for Providence is in part respemsible for the change. it &0, the Southern New England char- tered by the Rhode Island legislature will be helpful to New London in that it has aroused that city from a long sleep.” Does the editor of The Journal know that “the spirit of New London” has become a magazine theme and that all of New England except, perhaps, Rhode Island, is looking her way in wonder? ARIZONA’S PRESSING NEED. Arizona is a new state, but she thinks she knows what she needs most, and that is a port. Since Arizona is an inland state, and fifty miles from any outlet to the sea, this does not look so simple to anybody except the residents of that state, and they proposs to urge the United States to buy enough land of Mexico—a strip about 50 miles in depth—to include the mouth of the Colorado river and the head of the Gulf of California, and the thing is done. At present the mouth of the Colorado does not form a natural harbor of any great value; but it could be improved, and then, as an outlet to the ocean, it might help the trade of the southwest to & considerable extent. This is enterprise: and it looks like‘ what is considered all-gall by people. Just how the governmer perform its part of the scheme is not ®o0 clear. If Mex will not sell, should the goiernment declare war in the interests of Arizona and seize this territory ? many THE SMITHSONIAN A party of naturalists from the Smithsonian institute have returned from a four months’ expedition to the Mount Robson region, which is in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Mount Robson rises in titanic outline, the highest peak in the Rockies, probably between 14500 and 15,000 feet, and surrounding it for a distance of fifty miles in all direction lies the field of survey. In this wild and unclaimed country the party of naturalists ,protected by special permits from the Canadian government, have been doing natural history work. Mr. Hollister and Mr. Riley collected birds and- small ani- mals, while the other two collectors hunted big game. The collection cludes some 900 EXPLORERS. brought home in- specimens of birds and mammals, the latter ranging in size from mole-like creatures called H. H. Rews” to full-grown caribous and bears. One enormous grizziy bear was obtained by a fortunate shot. Much fine 1aterial for exhibiton groups was secured, including a series of caribous, mountain sheep, beaver: and many varieties of smail animal Besides birds and mammals,\a large number of plants and insects were collected. ANl the specimens have been turned over to the National museum, where they will be put on exhibition. Young women of the Cincinnati kindergarten training school have been learning how to “live well” on seven cents a day, eating for breakfast mush ind milk, brown bread or toast, cof- fee cocoa: for luncheon, peanut bread and jelly squares and for dinner, pea soup. This could hardly be done in Cennec- ticut, The agriculturist says: “To Arive hog head him the way you do not want him to go.” The sociologist says to the eligible maids: “If you want ‘o catch a man run from him, not after him.” Do vou notice the relation- ship?” Happr thought for teday: If time was really money, every musical di- recter would live on Easy street THE OTHER SIDE. The large majority of automobile drivers are always guarding against accidents, because it is both for their interest and welfare to do so. A Chicago automobilist who malkes a hobby of not running over children writes to the Daily News of that city to explain how parents and specially mothers may teach children to avoid danger: “The writer hus often heard mothers of small children tell them to hurry up and run across the street and to be careful. But how is a child going to be careful and protect himself when he is running as fast as his small legs san carry him? Many a little victim s crushed to death simply because he was told to run regardless of whether anything was coming or not, thinking, of course, that he could get safely on the other side and out of the way of danger. The mistakes of parents are about as numerous as the mistakes of auto- drivers. Fear causes the command to the child to run across the street; and the high-speeders and devil-may- care exhibitions of recklessness have bred distrust among the people. Per- sons who have forfeited their licenses more than once should not be re- licensed. Firmness in administration of law needed is EDITORIAL NOTES.

War | has broken out again between my ! husband and Mr. Crump, and [ don't know where it's going fo end. The worst part of it is that my husband is to blame. TI've alwa: stood up for him, but when 1 know he's at fault I must tell the truth. For the second | time Mrs, Crump and | patched up a | neace, for we were both tired of spend- | ing our pin money to get our husbands out of jail, and of being the talk of the | neighborhood. So the other day we held a conference and fixed up a pro- tocol, as the papers say, and we agreed that we wouldn't countenance any more wrangling. “When my husband came home 1 toid | him of our agreement in the best Eng- lish T could command. and he appar- ently fell in with the scheme with great enthusiasm. He said he w weary of strife and bickering, of crim ination and recrimimpation, and b highest ambition was to see the white | winged dcve of peace on duty in our | neighborhood all the year round. Noth- ing could please him more than to clasp Mr. Crump to his bosom. “Well, the néxt morning 1 went over to see Mrs. Crump, and she was per- fectly hapuy, as her husband was will- | ing and anxious to drop hestilities, for he was tired of taking his savings to the police court. So we two women sat | down and had a most agreeable time, | talking about our housework and such | things. Alrs. Crump showed me some molding that had come loose at the top of the sitting room wall and marked incidentaliy that her husband intended ‘o fix it as soon as he had a stepladder and T told her that we had an excel- lent stepladder and she was perfectly welcome to the use of it. You know. s Mrs. Wagstaff, neighbors can't be said ' | really {around the ladder for a long tima to be on perfectly friendly terms un- less they borrow back and forth, and 1 was glad when Mrs, Crump said that she would come over and get the lad- der in the afternoon and have her hus- band fix the molding that evening. “Then 1 went home, and, of course, 1 kad to repeat the whole conversation to my husband, after the foolish man- ner of women. When I spoke about the stepladder he scemed interested. ‘I am overjoyed.' he said, ‘that Crump isx go- mg to use our ladder, thas showing conclusively that the dead past must bury its dead and that bygones will continue to be bygones in the future, as they have been in the past. But I must overbaul that ladder, for when I 1sed 1t Jast it was in bad shape and likely: to coliapse. It would be a mis- fortune, indeed. if anything happened io Crump at this juncture, when the lion is lving down with the lamb.’ “I might have known when he spent an hour tinkering with that stepladder that something was wrong, but I am the most unsuspicious of women, and I thought Mr. Cvmback was as happy. as I was over the condition of affairs. Winally, after he had work;d he said it was as good as new and Mr. Crump could use it without fear. “Well, along toward evening Mrs Crump came over, as sweet as could be, and took the ladder aw:ey, thanking me a thousand times. Tn the evening af- ter the lights were goine T glanced over and saw Mr. Crump climbing up that ladder. Then there was an awful crash. as though the side of the house had fallen in, and T looked through the window and saw Mr. Crumn emerzine from the ruins of that ladder. Then he came out of the house like a roar ine lion and said that he would my husband’s scalp before mornine. that this final insult must be wiped out in blood. and the war is on again “Yes, my husband fixed that ladder so it would collapse as soon as Mr. Crump_got to the top step, and, though 1 am his wife, I say it was a low down trick.”—Chicago News O o e second prize of London or Windham Counties.

American Book Company, New York. Price $1.25. This textbook for secondary schools brings study of botany into ciose touch with the practical business of life by emphasizing its relations with agriculture, economics and sanitation. The subject matter is arranged in the natural order of development, the seed, its germination and growth, being treated first, and this followed by the study of roots, the stem, buds and branches, the leaf, the flower, and the fruit. The two final chapters of the book are devoted to the relation of the plant to its surroundings, and to the ccnsideration of a few typical erypto- gams. Technical language is used only when demanded by scientific ac- curacy. The work does not require a complete laboratory equipment, and all the experiments can ~asily be perform- ed by the pupils themselves.
