Gradually the movement is epreading. throughout the country for the pro- tection of children and women in the mattex of working hours. Vermont is the last to enact legislation in this regard and has adopted the fifty-eight hour law for children under sixteen vears and for women. It seems un- necessary that it should require any particular effort to secure legislation upon this point, the glaring examples of conditions in the eouth and even in New York state being sufficient to demand action. The protection of the children and women is one of the important dutles of every state and it is encouraging to note that there is gradually coming intp force throughout the entire coun- try a sentiment in that regard. The children, many of whom have to go to work today ought to be relieved of such duties until they have received the necessary education and given the opportunity to properly develop. It is upon these children that the coun- try of the future must to a large extent depend and it is for the people of the present day and generation to ses that gpportunity is not taken away 4413 January 4.. CONNECTICUT SCHOOLS. Connecticut takes pride in its schoels and it has reason to from the results which are obtained and vet there is further justification for it in the cem- pasative study of the public school tem In forty-eight states which has just been issued by the division of edu- cation of the Russell Sage Foundation for the purpose of informing each state of the experiences of every other say about life’s dawn or decline—he expresses life on & high plane and the le worm expresses t.? a low plane e worm in its life d action ex- presses divine purpose, but I some. times doubt whether man does on his plane. What do you think about it All sorts of things have been sald about the average man, and Be does not get mad. Chemically analyzed he is a veritable gasbag. This is no slander, for he has been weighed and not found wanting. There is gas enough in him to fill a gasometer Of 3649 cubic feet, or hydrogen enough in combination to fill a balloon which would carry him above the clouds, if he weighs 150 lbs. He must be some- thing of a light to the world for the Tat of him would make 75 can- dles, and his phosphate contents would make 8064 boxes of matches. He con- tains the constituents of 1200 hen’s eggs. The iron in him will make four tenpenny nails and he carries with him 6 teaspoons of salt, a bowl of sugar ang ten gallons of water. This con- tradicts Byron's statement that man “is half dust, half deity, alike unfit (to sink or soar,” for he appears to be equipped to do both. Shakespears was right “What a piece of work 15 man!”-—the average man! This new year with me is golng to be a year of mental and spiritual pro- gress, for I am the master of that; and it may be a Yyear of material advancement, but this reaily is of less importance, Adding to material things, however satisfactory it may be, is not adding to manhood or adding to the good influences which make life more comprehensible, or more enjoyable. If there is anything that dwarfs the hu- man soul it is an abiding spirit of miserliness, and if there is one curse above another which is ruining to the human race it is ignorance. It is & waste of time to yearn for wealth—it is seldom an unmixed blessing to have achieved it, Money is like a two- edged sword, a protection and a bless- ing if used right, and a peril and a curse if not properly handled. Those who have the right kind of a heart from them. Child labor bills in dif- ferent phases will come before most of ‘the states this year and when it is Fealized that there are 1,752,157 work- ers between the ages of ten and fif- teen it is apparent that there is need for it. No greater service can be done than by extending relief and help to the children and women. one for their guidance in the matters of educational legisiation. It is there- fore important to know that Connectl- cut ranks high ameng the other states of the nation. Its rank is: Thira in per cent. of school popula- tion enrolied in pablic and private schools as against .these mot in any school. Twentieth in total of school revenue from all sources. Fourth in value of public scheol property per child of school age. Tenth in amount of annual expendi- ture for school purposes per child of school age. Second in average days of school per child of school age. Fifth in average number of days public schools were kept open and av- erage attendance. Twenty-third in amount expended for schools for each $100 of estimated wealth. Twenty-efghth in cost of ong day’s THE EXEMPTION CLAUSE. ‘When Prof. Emory R, Johnson ad- dressed the Western Society of Engi- concerning the canal act and the reg- ulations which this country should provide concerning the Panama canal had not changed. He has always ad- vocated that all ships passing through the canal should pay their way and that the voting of the additional sub- sidy to American shipping, the first being that no foreign vessel can com- Dete in coastwise traffic, was not need- ed and should not have been voted.

Twelfth in amount of average sal- ary of public school teachers. Fifth on the rank of states in each of the ten educational features. Connecticut’s interest in education has been one of long standing and it is evident from the significant com- parisons that it 1s doing magnificent work in that direction. Too much at- tention cannot be given to the schools for the future welfare of the country and whatever can be given through legislation or financial assistance is in the proper direction for maintaining their positiom. BOOM TO AGRICULTURE. How important a contribution to the progress in agricuiture has been made by this country is indicated by the enormous output of agricultural imple- ments which the factories of this coun- try turn out each year. These labor saving devices permit of a far greater cultivation of the land with less out- lay of energy, operating in the same way in whatever branch of agricul- ture or whatever season they are.ap- plied, from the time the ground is broken until the crops are housed. What dependence is placed upon the American manufactures is indicated by the fact that forty million _dollars worth of agricultural implements were exported from the United States to foreign countries in the past year. This i§ a tenfold increase in two de- cades, and means a wonderful boom to agricuiture. All the world apparently buys Amer- ican agricultural implements. Mowers and reapers exported last year went t0 more than 75 countries and col- onies while other classes of agricul- tural implements were widely distrib- uted in the year'’s export trade. Europe alone took 21 million dollars worth, BSouth America nine and North Amer- ica eight. Russia is the largest single buyer of our manufactures in that class having taken approximately ten million dollars’ worth, against seven to Argentina and the same amount to Canada, with France and Germany taking about three millfons each. Mow.. ers and reapers lead in the classifi- cation of agricultural implements, their waluation being about 21 million ‘while plows and cultivators reach about seven miilion, Russia seeks the most of the former class while Argentina and Canada are the leaders in the buying of plows and cultivators. It is the steady improvement and the high degree of perfection which they have attained which gives the Amer- fean product this trade. If it is eventually to come to that question, it wiil be unquestionably the best policy to do it on our own fnitia- tive rather than approach it after it has gone through the process of ar- bitration and there been decided that it is the just thing to do. Because of the great amount of time and thought through investigation which Prof. Johnson has given to the question, The Boston Transcript be- lieves that his “statements coming from such a thoroughly well-informed source are much more to be trusted for our guidance than any congres- sional action based upon the flip prem- ise: “The canal is ours: we built it and we have a right to do what we will with our own,’” and especially so since it is at a time “when the government is -actively employing its power to regulate trusts and monopolies and punish combinations in restraint of trade, congress has taken action which sives an already profitable monopoly still greater favors.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

What do you think of the Christmas rakeoff? Perhaps you have not thought how commercialism plans to scoop the shekels, or how poorly made a good many Christmas goods be. Think of a robber wishing you a Merry Christmas when he has one hand in your pocket! And we created him and made him a mockery because we wanted to have something that looked as if it cost three dollars when we: paid for it only 30 cents. We want the high look for commercialism meets our demand. That's business. And while it is an everyday affair it makes its most gor- g1ous appearance in the holiest season o1 the year. We talk about the Christ- mas spirit as if we understood it, and we pass around gifts as though specu- lation was more meritorious than charity. Some people appear to think li‘e is a game, as well as politics, and they study to make the ten spot beat the ace, but never succeed. The gen- eral desire to get the best end of the burgain by hook or by crook makes a broad foundation for dishonesty. What is happiness? It is certainly the will-o’-wisp of lifo we all seek after and get a little of. With some it 1s the outcome of thought and feel- ing ;with others the result of going and seelng; to all we might say it comes &8 the result of desire and ac- tion. Some peeple are happlest when alone, and some in the swirl of social life; a great many are made happy by the thought that they possess more material things than others—because they are not confined to the common walks of life: and the sick are happy as well as the robust, because they have a consciousness of a divine pres- ence, or an abiding faith and hope. And, yet, after all has been said, we can’t be happy unless we think we be! The source of happiness, then, seems to be the mind; and it must be the mind where love and justice and peace abides. It has been sald no thoroughly occupied person can be miserable— hence honest service to one's self and others is the way to happiness. There is no evidence that because his Satenic majesty found politicians supple that he was the inventor of pol- itics. It has been said that wherever a church is erected to Almighty God the devil builds a chapel close by. A politician is supposed to be well defined when he is spoken of as a man skilful in citizenship. The noliticlan who re- gards politics 8 a game generally holds two hands in it. He plays the deuce when he doesn’t hold the ace. The ward heelers, crumb seekers and floaters never rise to the dignmity of politicians, but are simply factors in the game. How wicked the game is the politician never knows—the factors pay strict attention to everything not It i not ed so well in corrupting it. If he is really the father of all liars, too many of his children are in politics. If we all realized how much we say has to do with how we fare we should be less loquacious. It’never pays to talk unless one talks right. It has been said that “most of life’s friction is due to a well ofled tongue.” It is won- derful how some people just like to make a noise with their mouth. All such would have been Improved by having been trained to use the har- montcum, If they made music it would not bring them into such _disrepute. Producers of discord should always have a care. It is o good rule to say opfum habit. Perhaps that is why there is such a rush to obey the edict that trousers must give way to skirfs. While we ara considering the re- striction of immigrants it is a notice- able fact that with 200,000 going from this country to Canada last year the dominion isn’t bothering with any lit- eracy test. .

So she grew up in their midst, a child of pature, useless for all maid- enly toil at home, but wise in all things to. be learned out-of-doors. She loved the sea, too, and its chances for adventure. - No one was more . capable than _she in rowing and management of a boat. No swim- mer could out-do her in speed or en- durance. Many a fine string of fish did she furnish for the table at home, but when all these failed, the cliffs abové the' village afforded her a de- light to be found nowhere eise. There her girlish form could be described, sharply outlined against the sky, as she stood facing the stormy heavens, and shading her eyes with her hand as she eargerly scanned the angry wa- ters spread out to her view. Was any vessel in danger or in need of help, down she rushed to the village to g warning, and her own strength was freely given in aid of those in need. One wild day in November found her at her post of duty on the cliff. The early morning had bid fair for a pleasant day, and many of their men had gone out for a day’s fishing, but warned by the threatening clouds and rising wind they were to be seen try- ing to reach the harbor before the storm broke. As Winnie's sharp eyes swept over the wild waters, she saw many of their craft coming toward shore. Most of them had turned to- wards home in time to elude tempest, but far out there were still those who had been tempted to de- lay until their in-coming was.a source of danger to them and a cause of anx- g2 of 1 g By e = old| eou; the | jety to their friends. Almost the en- tire population gathered on the beach, . and as one boat after another came safl: a gl began to feel that all the boats were accounted for. But_Winnie's sharp eyes had de- seribed out on the far horizon two safling crafts, evidently in distress, and she hasiened down to give the alarm. A glance at the line of boats on the beach soon told them of a missing one. “Why, yes” said one, “we left Jim Hastings at the fishing grounds. = He sald he should soon leave, but would carry his catch over to Sandharbor and come home by land. The other craft is a yacht, and he is standing by to help them. Jim always was a kind soul, and he would not leave them in danger, if it did intrefere with his plans. Anxlously they watched the endang- ered craft with their sea-glasses, and reported the result to the curious crowd. “They’re coming out all right. Just as we thought, Jim is staying to help the stranger. One of them fancy craft, with land-lubbers aboard. They don’t know how to manage in such a storm as this. Lucky Jim was at hand!” Just then one old sailor cried out, “I'm afraid Jim is_going under. He is overboard, his boat is upset and they are pulling him intd the yacht!” With beating hearts the crowd watched the disaster, for such they knew it must be. Nothing could now be seen of Jim’s boat and the vacht was drift- ing at the will of the waves. Helpless evidently from the effects of the tem- pest, the beautiful craft was being driven nearer to them with every wave, but who could venture out to their relief? The angry waters for- bade even the most courageous to at- tempt the rescue and breathlessly they awaited the result. “If she drifts on to those rocks that's the end of all on_board,” announced one. . Then up spoke wild Winnie. “I am willing to go if you men are afraid,” said she scornfully. “I can swim that distance. I often have. Tie a rope to my waist, ang Ill go to the rescue. I cannot stand here and eee them perish without trying to help them.” Finding nothing would prevent her, they did as she demanded and well did her strength and couprage serve her. Breathlessly they waiched her as she slowly made her way to the doomed yacht. At last her efforts were successful and she was drawn on board by thank- ful hands. Great was the amazement among those she had befriended to find that they owed their lives to a girl. Jim Hastings was with them, | but, injured in the overturn of his boat, he lay unconscious in their midst. In due time all were safely landed and cared for by those awaiting them. The matron of the gay party could | put no limit to her gratitude to Win- nie, and pemguaded the girl to ac- company her to her city home. There Winnie found amusement for a time, but even in all her luxury she pined |for her home by the sea and at last convinced her hostess that it was best for her to return to her old surround- ings, and the following spring found her among her former associates. No longer Wild Winnie, but the same lover of sea and shore, and never so happy as when she once more climbed the rocky cliff ‘and Dbreathed in deeply the salt sea air.

The world is very much more interested in what we know than what we think, unless our thoughts are well founded. - Perhaps that which makes the aver- age boy not want to do what his par- ents are willing he should, is just what makes the average man decline to do what his family or friends think it would be better for him to do.

Any effective warning against sin is not against sin in general but against certain sins in particular. “The sin that doth so easily beset us,” is what the apostle called it. Men may keep almost the whole law but offend con- stantly and grievously in some single requirement. There are honest, industrious and faithful people who seem candidates for sainthood till we are disillusioned some day to discover that they have frightful and ungoverned tempers. There are good-tempered people, even in dlsposition, who are habitually slip- shod and lazy. They never get ruffied but they never make any chips fly.One may be warm-hearted and generous, but addicted to certain coarse vices. One may be above repriach as regards morals but stlll be “icily regular, faultily faultless, splendidly null” It is almost amusing at times to see how people will give themselves airs over freedom from faults to which they have no natural bent, They are a multitude who “Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have mo mind o A fman may thank God that he is no spendthrifht like his neighbor, Jones: but it is surely a small improvement on Jones for his critic to be So tight of purse that lads make him a byword | in the street.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN THE VALUE OF CUSTOM. | “Montaigne,” said Pascal, “is wrong in declaring that custom ought to be followed simply because it is custom and not because it is reasonable or | | just.” {" T remain unconvinced, and hold with | Montaigne. For the value of observ- | {Ing any custom is the same kind of value as that of keeping step in a company of soldiers. It avolds com- fuslon. Its chief service is in the mu- | tual agreement to conform in non-es- | sentials; for only so can we have time | to differ in essentials. 1 wear the | customary hat only because I do not | iwant to discuss hats.
