Free-trade countries are point= ed to as examples, but who is the workingman in this country éWh‘; would change places with his Greal ® Muew | Britain nelghbor? Since this country has adopted the principle 'of . protection, a period of about sixty years, the per capita wealth has increased from $307 to $1310, the per capith cireulation from 812 to $34, savings bank deposits have in¢reased from fourteen millign to 4,212 million, farm land has increased trom four billion to forty-one billion, and "farm products from two Dbillion to forty billion. In the cofton goods 'industry alone, therd has been an in- crease from §30,000 bales in 1860 to 4,500,000 in 1910, the number of em- ployes ‘having more than doubled in the past thirty years, or five times the English ‘gain. It is quite evident that under these conditions, with prosperity at Its | height, that the American working- man is not going to throw a bright future over his shoulder. The repub- lican adminlstration has worked for hig intérgst and his appreciation of 4t will be manifested in the ballot. STIMULATES TREE, PLANTING.

Haven't you ever seen a man who thought when he talked of getting Jjustiee thot it would be what he want- | ed 1nstead of what he deserved? When | it comes to honesty. have you noticed &t how many different points individ- uals draw the line? It is sometimes dif- ficult to discern just where honesty leaves off and dishonesty begins. A comparison of the ideas of goodness shows many a discrepancy. “He means well, but does not know,” was a joke in the play; but who can doubt it is a verity in real life? We all think we have consclences, but I cannot help doubting whether or not we all have. The deciaration that “all men are born free and equal” is a popular slogan, but who believes it? Has any one ever | found time to prove it? It is diSagree- meént.that gives variety to life, and it contributes a good deal to making life more i A friend asked me if I could name ten righteous ‘men in Norwich. Some folks might have answered that ques- tion right off, but I confessed I couldn’t. I shouldn't dare to accept the task of picking out righteous men. Had he asked me to name ten men in Nor- wich who thought they were right- eous, T might have named twenty with- out danger of being disputed; but that is another thing. I know that com- munities ' show no evidence of hating been founded upon righteousiess. Self- ishness dominates private and public life, and green is the' cornerstone of speculation and trade. Mmm is more easily found in the dleti than among men. There may be a thousand righteous men-in Norwich— all my nelghbors seer like righteous men; but I would not dare label them, for they might not honor the label. ! Righteousness exalteth a nation,and no| doubt the nation is just now in need of more of it. i There are some reforms which do not seem to be improvements. One of these that is coming in for severe crit- ieism just now is the bubble An observer of one says pers ‘workmen wet their handkerchiefs at the fountain to mop their brows; then a monkey with an organ grinder’s ap- proval stood upon the pipe with his toes in the orifice and took a bath; then a poor woman with a child found he could not teach it to drink and sha 'had no penny to get a sanitary cup, and they had to go thirsty; then a take the ‘clean turned it all over her white waist, and #0 it went on for hour after hour, mak- ing reputation for everything but cleanliness. oW ¢ anything be kept clean if those who use it are slovenly? The downward turned fau- cet seemns better than & standpipe bub- ble that a monkey can stand on and take a bath.’ In view of these facts the bubble fountain hasn’t as much to commend it a8 some of ‘the older style of water pipes, b When we see a ring-neck plover run- ning over the sands of the seashore we do not call to mind the fact that he is one of the little birds that necked plover may have ‘born in and when seen on beach, or flltting in front of the breaking surf, may be on his way to Argentina. These little sand birds hlm;on‘ yl‘htl and make better speed the aero- planes. Some of these birds which ‘breed within the -Arctie circle are seen on tlla,a‘ New I!Inmnd coast on the way to tagonia, | _a migratory flight of 14,000 M‘fmng or plov- ers, the Virginia plover which bi in Labrador, winters in northern - zil, and it makes the journey in & day with an estimated flight of 212 miles an hour. We mortals know but little about speed when the rapidity of the flight of birds is taken iRto ac- count. Some of the birds m: no more of a 1,000 mile journey than man does of going to a nearby market for goods, i Perhaps it is better that a boy should be wild than wooden; but why should in mind thus associate him? The gy who appears to be wild needs to be interested in something which will turn ' his energles to some useful pur- pose; and the boy who seems to wooden needs to be ‘waked up something which interésts him. Gl mortals are too prone to deal with ef- fects without ever attempting to in- quire fnto causes. Get the confldence of the children and study them, and they are very likely to reveal a way by which a new aspect of life may be m- sented to them, It never makes a bet- ter man to tell the boy he is a fool, or that he is unusually bright. Preco- clous children seldom have brilliant carcers, It certainly epeils the com- ing man tn attemptto make something of him he deesn’t want te be. Parent- al mistakes and pigheadedness spoil more developing mortals than anything elze, Real well-meaning peeple wreck 1ives in their keeping by their ecompul sory metheds—their tyranniacal ception of their relatien to or auther- | ity over a child, When things are go- ing wrong it is well enough to ask our- | selves what we are doing. | | TR Good housekeepers are natural fly- swatters and have been for generations and will be for generations to come, whether the slogan “Swat the fly!" is kept up or not. It Is not agreeable to have any Kind“'of an insect crawling over food, or falling in the milk. The ignorance concerning flies is dense— there may be 10,000 varleties, and some of them are parasitic-reducers of ‘other pests. The true housefly is the most respectable of the three varieties' which haunt the house, the two others being the bluebottle and the fleshfls. It can be said of the housefly that he prefers sugar or molasses, sweel sauces end cake crumbs for food to anything dirty or fermenting. The housefly, like some other pests, lives all winter in the house and lays its eggs in horse dun~ in the spring. How industriously it cleans itself anyone may discover by watching it, but we | cannot tell whether it is wiping germs off its geet, grease off its face or dust off its feet, grease off its face or dust |1t goes through ywhenever it takes a {rest. The other flies eat decaying meats and fermenting matter and are really scavengers or filth cleaners, { not spreaders. No cleanly person will tolerate thelr presence if it can be pre- vented. There is nothing to be said against swatting the fly, but thera might be much said against being alarmed upnecessarily about it. | was surprised to see a tree toad sitting in the dew upon a blade of my, late September corn the other morning—a corn which seems to be | of the garden. The disks upon his toes by which he climbs trees or tall plants of any kind make/ him look different from any other toad, and his general color is fawn, or a soft red- dish yellow, which is blotched wita brown, with the jeweled eye which gives to tc their distinetive mark.

A ring- |y { reall (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) | Don't you think it possible for a per- son to have a good opinion of himse!f without danger of losing his balance? If we do pot think well of ourselves, ‘who will think| well of us? This matter of ones’ relation to self is an important matter, for to know one’s self is to attain the greatest power; but is it poesible to know one’s self without a conflict—a conflict with selfishness and habit and prejudices in- herited and acquired? Many excellent people in this world are victims of appetite, and eat them- selves into invalidism -with no idea that they are the slaves of habit in- stead of free beings. W vigilance ig the price do we comprehend that phrase applies more forcefully to our relation to ourselves than to our relation to others? We cannot know what liberty is and be subject to any personal habit what- ever. The man must be master of his mind—master of his appetites—to be free—free from fear and disease. To “know thyself” is to know’ that manhood means supremacy over every thing which in the jeast degree is de- generating. Manhood knows its own mind— stands upon it§ own pedestal; but counterfeit manhood leans upon most anything that will give it support. While in popular parlance it is said “No man should take himself too seri- ously,” it is up to every man to take himself seriously enough ‘to become conscious that he is a Son of God, and is heir to all the power and blessings ‘which such an heirship implies.. It was nevér intended that man should be struggling in darkness in- | stead of abiding in light—that he should be declaring that he is a worie | of the dust when he is a son of God. Too many men have been deceived by | false conceptions and negative ideas of their own worth. It is up to every human soul to love itself intensely—self-love is ‘a Chris- tlan virtue, not a fault. We are co: selves, and the Lord our,God with all our he: ' This would be in the great commandment if I g seld was not a Christian virtue. is love of self is the love which prompts you to honor self and the laws of selfhood, just as love of God requires you to honor Him , by observing His com- andmen m B ¥ "It is mot self-love, or taking one's. self seriously, that makes men appear ‘ridiculous, but the pride and faise pretense and hoggishness which The Greatest Study of Man, is Man 3 same thing. Self-love is ennobling and elevating, and selfishness is degrading and destructive. There have been strange definitions given of man by the intellectual: Edmund Burke said: “Man is an animal that cooks his victuals!” Channing said: “Every man volume, if you know how to reas him.” Aristotle: “Man is the most terrible of all animalse when he lives without law and without justice.” a d half deity, allke unfit to sink or soar!” and again he addresses him thus: “Man! thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear!” - Our own Whittier declared: “When faith is lost and honor dies, the man is dead.” Pope averred: '“An honest man is the noblest wprk of God.” Man sees man in his own soul mirror; he colors him with the color of his own spirit. We all must confess the truth of the statement that “Man to his brother man may appear as ‘a wolf or as a god!’” This expresses thé sweep of his power for good or for evil. The man who takes himself serious- ly is likely in time to Kill the wolf, to subdue the savage that is within him, and to make himself strong upon the deific side. 4 The danger side of life is the dark side—the side of ignorance which leads to a misinterpretation of law and to tyranny. Man has been endowed with many talents and he has been blessed with high aspirations, and has blazed a| wonderful path down' the ages, but when we look back upon his ' work there is no light that shines like the light from the Mount of Olives. It has been truly said: “Man's greatest study is man,” and the mas- tery is not in achlevements which de- stroy but in works which bless. It was Queen Victoria who said she could never tell anvone how insignifi- cant she feit in the presence of such & man as the late General Booth of the Salvation Army. Her greatness rested upon temporary Love, upon which rests the eternities. It was, not long’since; decided by a mother's congress that the greatest woman was she who made an attrac- tive home, led her children in the path of light and knowledge, and made of them citizens who added fame and glory io the state; and presumably we can all agree that the greatest man is not the man of war, but the man of action whose beneficence comma the attention and the respect of the marks the selfish person.

A man may leavae his son $1,000,000,000 but, unfort- unately, cannot surely leave him the energy, industry and probity that made the fortune possible. That is why it is so often about three genera- tions from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves.
