The animute and the Inanimate have a history, and perhaps the in- animate may reveal the most wonder- ful facts—may disclose the most inter- esting story. There is something more than sermons in stones. The water- worn pebble in the gutter is older than the pyramids of Egvpt and is as deep- ly engulfed in mystery. If it should tell its full history it might have to begin at a period when the earth was { hot and the water in the oceans boiled; it may have rested on the lost conti- nent of Atlantis—may have seen a {continent sink beneath the seas; or it | may have been brought in ballast from the coast of Africa.

It has | served man in many ways and carries | with it geological evidence of its ori- | gin and age. When | wes afield the other day I {could hardly belleve iy eyes when I saw a brown thrasher sitting on_a telegraph wire in ebuilient song. He is the sweet singer of New England, and Thoreau, writing of him in corn- planting time, says he sits and satir- |lcally calls to the planters in Massa- | chusetts: “Drop it, drop it—cover it {up, cover it up—puil it up, pull it up!” He is not, like the catbird or starling, a mocker of other birds, although | careless observers have classed him with them. He has a pert manner, and when annoyed sends out a “smack” which seems full of resentment. He is| an all-American bird, like the chip- | ping sparrow, and winters at “the sun- Iny south.” His cinnamon brown plu- mage would lead one to think he was i not vain, but the brown thrasher has a | way of flourishing his tail which indi- tes that he is conscious of being | “some pumpkins” He lends a charm to the morning chorus of the birds, but {it is ag a soloist that we like him best. | His return from the south in May adds joyous sounds to the wildwoods. | |w There is an old saying that “the man ho sings his own praise seldom gets an encore”; and we have to admit it {depends very much upon the singer.

It is omly In the mating season that the male is a dandy and roystering songster. His plumage of black and cream is worn but a few weeks, and all the rest of the year he is a4 dun-colored shore bird. He ceases to be the bobolink when he goes to tha Connecticut river in late August to feed on water-grass seeds, and is bag- |ged by gunner as the railbird or sora. He holds this name until he haunts the rice flelds of the south, when he is known as the rice bird, and is as pop- ular on toast as the quail, and offered |at 25 cents a bunch in the market. I {ltke him for his song which interpreted in words is said to be “Bobolink, bob- olink, food and drink, in old Short's lane —barley-oh ! barley-oh!’, and | should decline to feast upon his flesh.

There are men and women who nev- er lose the spirit of youth—they never know what the depression of age means. They have their physical de- fects, which are balanced by mind |joys. They seem to have little ability to deplore or regret, but ample ca- | pacity for enjoying every blessing they (are cognizant of. The world thinks | this sort of a person inherits qualities | which theys really cultivate. It does {not countenance the power of the mind to alleviate as well as to depress the | feelings. Many of the grievances of |this world are the result of careless | interpretation of the acts of others, |and to a misconception of their intent. | The habit of coming to conclusions is | a dangerous habit, because conclusions sed upon this or that are seldom lid.

(Written Specially fer The 'Bulletin) How different a matter from former times is O.l'net pr::snt sehopl work! There seem to S0 many gnore av- enues opened te the chfldreflor their activities in various direetions. 1 was especially impressed with this thought as 1 leoked at the exhibit of puplls’ work, which has been arranged and offered for inspection at Breadway sehoel of late. Many of us in recalling our school days can remember only the steady routine of alternate study and recita- tion day after day. To the studious child, ambitious of standing at the head of the class, this unvarying plan of work was no hardship but what it was to the restless, uneasy ones, to whom books did not appeal, is read- ily understood by those who were thus constituted. Oeccasionally a speiling-match breke the monotony. ere and there a teacher was found whose love of music furnished some variety in the school life. Now and then some attempt at instruction in drawing was made, .cards being dis- tributed to be copled by the puplls. But in the main, the three R's occu- pled the time of the school days, and the failure in these was deemed an offence to which punishment was to be meted out in generous measure. ‘What wonder that discipline was more difficult, and friction arose so fre- quently between teachers and big boys who had no fondness for study! There seemed then no other, way than se- verity and force by which to main- tain authority. But thanks to common-sense and child study much has been changed in the, school life of the child, From kindergarten to ninth grade every school room is represented in the ex- hibit of work; every child has some~ thing there to tell of its choice of work, and the revelation thus made is a surprise to those who see the re- sults thus recorded. The little folks have Jearned of other countries than their own and have portrayed life in Japan and Switzerland and the know- ledge thus acquired will remain longer in their memories than facts learned from a geography or map. The little ones who made copies of pictures with their building blocks will not soon for- get the difference in form between a church, a house, and a long train of cars. The little hands that so neat- ly wove strips of paper into artistic forms are better fitted for careful hand work later on, while the train- ing in judgment, careful selection, and patient application is invaluable So on through all the grades, so much fine handiwork is to be seen, paper-cutting, needlework, embroidery, wood work, brass work, all testify to the industry of the children and the | skill they acquire in original design | and application of color. ‘“Have you | seen those doilies?” queried one who | had spied the work of a middle grade | school. | “Yes, and then those pillow tops! How beautiful they are, and the de- signs are the work of the girls, too! 1 think they are wonderful.” “Have you noticed the curtains done for the school building by the girls of | that grade? If you have not, be sure to see them before you go. Fine work | R 5 they would be for older folk, but for ch:!’dreu they are um.rvelkml!y and this was net the partial praise of dot- ing parents alone, but the general com- ment of the kl:;rested . Barnest were e expl wonder and appreciation to be lumlt on all sides as the admiring throng of people passed from one reom te am- other to inspect the work. Well merited, too, was the praise given to the orchestra which furnish- ed the music for the evening. Skilful training they have had, indeed, from an enthusiastic music teacher, whose love of music is not greater than his love of children who come under his charge. Now don't think all this is done at the expense of ordinary school work. The three R's have evidently not suf- fered any neglect. Witness of that is in plain view. No better arithmetic work work could have done a generation ago than the pupils are doing today, in fact they are taking more advanced work in the lower grades than their fathers or mothers did. Mere practical in their application and better adapted to every-day life are the problems they solve, but fully as difficult as those the old arithmetics put before them. The long array of carefully drawn maps give evidence of much study and careful discrimination iz the work of geography. History, also, hasitsshare of attention and written @ccounts of fa- mous events and noted persons bothmen and women, tell of intelligent research on the part of the pupils, and bear wit- ness at the same time to their care- ful penmanship and correctness in use of language. Row after row of per- fect spelling destroys the claim made by some that children now-a-dass) are poor spellers, and that time Is wasted on ornamental branches which should be spent on mere common sub- Jects. What if they do find time to pro- duce beautiful copies of written mu- sical scales! The same children do no less careful work in spelling and arithmetic. Let them write in verse, To the Voters of Norwich: This Company has offered to furnish Voting Machines to the Town of Norwich. To enable the voters to compare the voting machine with the use of paper ballots, we will exhibit in the Town Hall, on Mon- day, June 3rd, election day, one of the same type of machine that has been adopted in Hartford (11 years), Waterbury (6 years), New Britain (8 years), Bridgeport (5 years), New Haven (4 years), Meriden, Danbury and Torrington, Conn., and in hun- dreds of cities and towns in other states, where the voters prefer the voting machine to the cumbersome, unsatisfactory and inac- curate method of voting with paper ballots. { Among the users of our machines are such cities Chicago, 1iL, Rochester, N. Y., Utica, N. Y., Buffalo, N. Y., Syracuse, N. Y., Troy, N. Y., Indianapolis, Ind.,, Evansville, Tnd., Fort Wayne, Ind., Milwaukee, Wis., Racine, Wis, Madison, Wis. Superior, Wis Minneapolis, Minn., DesMoines, la., Towa City, Ia., Omaha, Neb., Salt Lake City, Utah, Ogden, Utah, Butte, Mont., Saginaw, Mich., Bay City, Mich., Grand Junction, Colo., and over 500 others, The public are invited to attend this exhibition and examine this machine which does away with defective ballots, and pro- duces the correct returns of an election immediately at the close of the polis. This Company will furnish machines to Norwich to be used in the election of next November, and need not be accepted or paid for until they have proved their accuracy and efficlency EMPIRE VOTING MACHINE COMPANY. if they like; they will beat their fath- ers and mothers at the same age in letter writing and things of that sort. | In fact the display of school work has convinced others as it did me, that we do not half-way appreciate the work done by and for the children in the public schools of today, for probably all the other-districts do much the same work. Critics there always will be, but less unfair will be their criticism, if they will view the exhibit and carefully ex- amine the work without prejudice. I hope every one who has a child in school, or is in any way interested will make sure to see the work while it is avallable. Not the least valuable feature of the occasion is the chance given of bringing parents into the school surroundings. To many of them it was an unusual sight and a revela- tion, and the friendly welcome all re- ceived should have a resultant effect on all sides. To all I say, “Go, if you have not been. Go again and again if you can, and vou will more and more value the children’'s work, and the work done for them.” AN IDLER. m might not distress others, not that it would bring him a harp of a crown of gold. He had self eliminated and found pleasure in doing sgood for Good’s sake. Doing good In the ex- pectation of receiving a reward is| childish and supremely selfish. No one has to ask what is there in goodness | for me, for goodness is its own re-| ward: and the advantages of it noj soul can be unconscious of. We are aware what Boucher said is all bosh to some minds not receptive to the| good of it. We are all like stocks and | stones !+ things we are not conscious | of, or du not care to be awake to. I like those who have a reverent feeling for everything they deem holy, wheth- er I agree with them or not. Many of | the things we do not endorse may be| more worthy our approval than lhe‘v things we are quick to respond to. SUNDAY MORNING TALK WOODEN SOLDIERS. St. Jerome calls them “wooden sol- dlers” who “always have their swords raised without striking a blow.” His definition reminds us of the advice of an acquaintance to a well-intentioned fellow who was forever telling what he “almed” to do: “Pull the trigger, man, for goodness sake, pull the trigger!” It was excellent advice even though offered in impatience to one with whom purpose had long taken the place of performance. It is mere important to do a good thing than to know how to do it or even to plan to do it. The fact should be borne in mind by a large number of peeple in every community. Reference is now not to the blunderbuss or to the fool who romps carelessly in where angels fear to tread, but to those whose chronic lack is of will rather than of equipment or of preparation. For practical purposes a man is no better than a dummy at a cigar stand if he never strikes with his raised sword or actually pulls the trigger of his leveled gun. Abllity is really measured by achievement. A man who is good must prove that he is not enly good but good for something. We esti mate the real vigor of a personality by its power to get results. A regiment of wooden soldiers might look imposing but would win no battles. The weak spots in many gifted © is just here. Their swords remain ply poised in air. They may early promise of brilliant careers. They lengthy and suitable prepara- : Parents ,teachers and friends pr dict success. As the years pass, how- ever, they exhibit no icclination actually to tackle the work of life. Mid- dle age finds them still hesitating cn the brink. And age can oniy write on their careers the word “failure.” Preparation is good but there may be too much of it. To get the thing done that needs doing is our :nain duty. When our American statesmen were discussing methods whereby the nation might resume specie payments the knot of the problem in his famous the knot of the problem i nhis famous dictum, “The only way to resume is to resume.”” And as a matter of fict the nation did resume without any c- haustive knowledge as to the corvect way of resuming, Put with this the saying of Solemon in the book of Proverbs.” the begin- ning of wisdom is, get wisdom.” Do not theorize abont it or speculate con- cerning it. or long for it, get it.

There are three things I like best of all, strawberries, singing and the vio- lin. The explication of this paradox is Lis, that the best things in the world need to be the most perfect, and that if they are poor we would rather not have them at all. No one can lift you nearer heaven than the voice Wwith a soul in the throat, the voice of genius an‘ deep feeling. And one is quite as¥likely to hear such & voice in the village choir, or from the milkmaid returning from the barn, as in grand opera. And no one can lead you nearer to the brink of crime, bomb-throwing and bloody outbreak than the average “cul- tured” youth with a voice all twisted and screwed and artificialized by an alleged “system” of teaching, When 1 hear the music-hall singer also I feel the jail yawning for me. During a certain six months in FEurope, I heard 2 sing-fest and hundreds of human music-makers, and of the lot only one, who had the divine Something in her tone. She was a woman, I do not know her name, in the opera at Ber- lin. Similar language may be fabricated in re strawberries and fiddlers. Exploits of The Colonel.
