There | is always a large accumulation of | waste material and plenty of unsight 1y spots which have been allowed to| exist through the winter, which should excite the attention and action of the owners of the property for its early Temoval. Nothing better can be done for the beautification of the city than 10 make grounds and backyards as attractive as possible and there is al- ways plenty which can be done in this direction when spring opens This is the time of year when the clty government begins to put into ac- tion its efforts for improvements of the streets and start whatever work which has been delayed by the cold weather. It is fitting that Individuals should embrace the same opportunity | for conmtributing the important part which they can play in making the city_more beautiful. By cleaning up the rubbish and the removal thereof, not only is a step taken towards'im- proving appearances, but it also means | the obliteration of the breeding places of disease germs, which is even more | to be destred. Unitea action fs necessary In any effort of the kind and the putting of the streets, parks and public places into presentable shape can be accom- panted by making every vard spick and span. 1t should be started early and comtinued with interested v mntil accomplished.

Speeding is one of the evils against which the most fault is found and the Thoms bill seeks to prohibit | the speed of autos bevond thirty miles an hour.

It is the conduct of ‘the heedless | ariver which brings disfuvor upon the auto drivers as a class and is con- stantly bringing before the legisla- ture bills for new regulations By the present law concerning mo- tor vehicles and their operatior upon the highways much is left to the judg- ment of the operator.

Eliot of Harvard university will accept he will bo the next ambassador to Great Pri tain from this country. Tn offering him the post President Wilson, as in his first selection, shows a rare dis- crimination as to merit and ability. He likewise gives to New England the most important post in the dipiomatic corps, a position which requires men of the highest integrity and judgment, and who possess a thorough under- | standing of the problems between the nations. In Dr. ‘Ellot the administration would have a sympathetic represen- tative; one who is in thorough accord with the policies of the president, and one who has stood by him in his advo- cacy of certain important changes In the conduct of the government.

Long is the list of public men who have been slain by the bullet of an assassin, murdered not because of personal enmity, but because they held @ position at the head of their coun-| try or high in ihe affairs of a nation. Even longer is the list of attempts which have been made upon the lives of public officials, by anarchists, mad- men or eranks. This tendency of op- position to government is Increasing to such an extent that the strongest measures should be taken to check it even to placing under surveillance such persons as are known to have expressed a desire or determination to seek the end of those at the head of government.

The import- ance of exerting all such influence possible cannot be too strongly con sidered. From that the best results| can be obtained in the parole system. In Massachusetls the need of more of such work Is felt because of the number of paroled prisoners who are returned. The Boston Post looks at it sensibly when it says: “The.great problem for the state to solve with paroled men, as well as with all men released from jail or prison, is how to start them anew in life.

Jack Dundon was an ardent lover of old Ireland, though himself born and bred in America. His pa- rents lind come to this country in the carrly vears of their marriage, bring- with them the father of the bride, and the oft-repeated stories of the old grandfather had been the chief joy of little Jack, as he listened by the hour to tales in praise of the old gentle- man’'s native land, and from boyhood Jack had resolved to visit Ireland at his first opportunity and now he was there an_enthusiastic admirer of all he saw, finding it even more delight- ful than his grandfather had led him to_expect. Mary Sheridan was the lady of my story, secretly as much in love as Jack with all she saw in Ireland, but, With the perversity of many girls of her age, unwillingly to admit that anything could outdo her own home in New England. Her name, however, led one to the conclusion that some wee drop of Irish blood ran through her veins, as did also the delightful combination of jet black hair and bright blue eves to which was added her keen wit and ready tongue. She, accompanied by her parents was tak- ing a jaunt through Ireland. Dundon_was staying at the same hotel in Dublin at which they made their home while in that city. Possi- bly Mary's charms had something to do with his readiness to guide them to library and museum, ~to publi buildings and bridges, and statues of famous men. These interested the older man more than the parke or the beautiful bay of Dublin, so that oc- casfonally leaving him absorbed in ferreting out some fact of ancient his- tory or item of political interest, the ounger ones of the party would wan- der in search of something attractive in the. vicinity. The many statues weve interesting to all the party. Of course they looked up O'Connell's first of all, for that name comes into the mind of every one who thinks of Ireland’s great men. On his monu- ment they found the four words which indicate = his _life-work, “Eloquence Courage, Fidelity, and Patriotism,” and Mary called to mind that she had been told the same words held good In the case of Wendell Phillips, Boston's idol. She was somewhat chagrined to find that he had taken pattern from an Irishman, and insisted it was only a coincidence, an added proof that great minds think allke. A statue erected in honor of Grey seemed to amuse Jack who, though familiar with Father Matthew's great work, did not know that Grey established a system for supplying pure water for the city. They needed it badly he thought, to judge from the stories he heard of the amount of “honey dew” sold and con- sumed. g They happened to be in Dublin on St. Patrick’s day and naturally enough spent_their time in geeing much that was done in honor of the man, whom all the English-speaking world hon- ors now-a-davs; protestant and other- wise, English, Scotch, or Irish, all lay claim to the man whose career was devoted to the up-lifting of his race, in Ireland. Jack claimed him as a_compatriof, Mary sald he was not Irish because Scotland was his native land, and that she had more claim on him for her mother was of Scotch descent. They visited St. Pa rick’s Cathedral where Jack had his little turn of disappointment, when Mary jagein triumphed by reminding him that it was a Protestant Cathed- ra “Well, he was a good Catholic at all events,” protested Jack, ‘and had the making of thousands of the taith.” Jack bought shamrocks the entire party, thankfully accepted pairment? Broken promises not only disappoint those to whom they were made, but they degrade manhood by putting a stain upon hono: SUNDAY MORNING TALK AN EASTER SALUTATION® Christians of the Greek church on Faster morning greet each other with the words “The Lord is risen!” The customary answer is. * He is risen in- deed.” Beautiful salutations surely! It is fitting that the great event of the day commemorates be made a subject of universal felicitation. So gracious a custom is worthy of emulation. What sublimer hope do we cherish than that emphasized by the day of resurrection? The glory of it should surely be reflected in radiant {faces and joyful speech. Of old in the gray dawn the risen Lord met the two Marys with the sal- utation, “All hail!” It was the chal- lenge of a conqueror and the greeting of a friend. It sounded the keynote of gladness and triumph with which Easter should be celebrated to the end of time. Into this high and hopeful mood the, day should lead us. Since it last dawn- ed many of the sons of men have have known prostrating bereavement. They have come from God's acre dazed and crushed. They have found life straight- ened and impoverished through lost companionships. Few there be who have lived in any world of noble friends ships but must vearn for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound ofa voice that is still. We need to dwell with that immort- al hope of which the day bears witness. After a thousand Fasters have come and gome since that first one our common thought of death is still es- sentially pagan. Men talk ang act as though life ended in the cemetery, as though the blessed dead were captives of the grave. In his “Blue Bird” Maeterlinck hasa scene that in itself is an Easter ser- mon. The children Tyityl and Mityl come to the graveyard. The little girl asks timorously, “Do the dead live here?” ‘“Are these slab doors to their houses?" And then in terror she begins to cry while her brother tries to com- fort her. As they stand there a transforma- tion occurs. The crosses begin to tot- ter, the mounds open, the slabs lift. The sombre place beging to change be- {fore their eyes into a fairy garden full of lovliness and fragrance. Dew sparkles, flowers bloom out in riot of color, wind murmurs in the trees. Bees hum and birds awake to fill the place with thelr songs of sunshine and e. Puzzled, the children look about for some traces of graves or those who live in them. “Where are the dead?" they ask. And then at length the truth dawns upon them, a truth the saddened heart of humanity needs to remember —the cemetery s empty after all. “Why there are né dead!” the children exclaim. It is just that that Easter is teaching us. Lite is real, life s earnest And the grave is not its gaal. Dust thou art, to gust retarnest, Was not spoken of the soui. The symbol of this day is not a Dlack clod but the llly lifting its white beauty from out the clod. Easter Epeaks of life, not death. Wheretofore, Sursum Corda—lift up your hearts Hear the salutation of Him who could saved of which he sald “they are all| gifference whether they were made to|Seph's gardeén and for us all brought and his appointment if accepted will be without the semblance of reward for his pelitical service but not Aiways ocomelimen. | God clover or man.

THE PARSON. all_except Mary, who declared that w England sorrell was the same thing only it tasted better, and, at any rate, the dictionaries all sald it was clover, and she would rather have a bunch of red clover than ail the shamrocks that could be bought In Dublin. She carefully cherished her shamrock, however, and vears after- yard it was fquna neatly fastened in her book of Irish souvenirs. Mrs. Sheridan was not in their com- pany much in Dublin, for she had proved a poorer saflor than the rest, ang was compelled to remain .quiet for a time to enmable her to join the tourlsts in their further journeyings through the islands. ~ What _delight they found in the Lakes of Killarney and the beautiful fails in that section! How were they Charmed with the Blimpses of cottage life afforded them here and there, the busy spinning- wheel in frequent view. ‘“Just like one we have at home in Boston,” said Mary_with a pert toss of her head. Mrs. Sheridan could not resist the bits of lace offered for sale among the cot- tagers, though her wilful daughter in- sisted that it could be bought at home and be much cleaner. Mary was com- pelled to admit the beauty of the many Irish crosses which they saw on their way, and her father revelled in searching out heathen relics and fairy rings, and the curious rock formation of the Giant Causeway. Mary was ne- chanted with the little overloaded donkeys they met on- thefr way, and the jaunting cars were a source of great fun. in a buggy as they did in Boston, but that there were some people whom it was just as well to turn one's back upon. Everything, even the bogs were a pleasure to Jack, whose grandfather had told him so many these things, but poor time had reached a point where every day spent in Mary's company was happiness enough for him, and he dreaded the end of the journey which would part them. The end came, however, when Jack must return to his western home, while the Sheridans were to continue their travels into Scotland and after- ward spend some time in England be- fore turning their faces toward home. The last evening: before parting, the group, reviewed the wanderings to- gether, and Jack waxed so eloguent over the pleasure he had derived from their company that Mary averred he must have kissed the blarney stone, though when, she was at a loss to de- termine. Good-bye was said with hopes of meeting on this side of the ocean, a meeting Jack silently vowed would not be_long delayed. Mary seemed strangely silent for the rest of the journey. Nothing in Scot- land pleased her so much as had the Emerald Isle, and though England re vived her drooping spirits somewhat, I imagine it was that she now feli her steps were homeward bound. True to his determination, Jack was in Boston ready to receive them, and s0 convincing were his arguments that in spite of all differences of opinion he BSucceeded in obtaining from Mary her promise to a union of the advocates of shamrock and clover, and before long Mrs. Jack Dundon was reckoned among the brightest of her circle of friends in her western home. She still claimed that red New England clover was superior to Irish shamrock. Jack laughingly asserted in reply, “You know, Mary my dear, that the sham- rock won the prize, after all. AN IDLER.

Mr. Editor: I was surprised to see the announcement that Superintendent Corkery of the water board has decided that the Norwich public shall continue to be served with the Falrview water, and that the Stony brook water will be_reserved, until It is needed. Stony brook water is the only water given a fré bill of health on analysis in half a dozen years. You will r member that Trading Cove water was condemned as containing too many colon bacllll to be used without med: cition; and later, on analysls, the water of Fairview was found to con- tain a larger per cent. of colon. bacilli than the Trading Cove brook. Stony brook, the condemned, which was fousht agalnst for elght years as unpromising, and not worth develop- ing, has now a full pond of good pctable water, and Is wastin- millio of gallons over the spillway. The ex- aminer says it is good water, and we are told it is to be withheld till an inferior source has been exhansted There appears to be something wrong with the judgment which le | the best water run to waste and com- i pels the consuming public to take an inferior quality of wate It doesn’t scem to me that the best water at the city’s command is any too g00d to be served to the people of Norwich at once. After this water stood in the pond, tdkine the spring washings of | the watershed for months, it, too, ma: { be found to contain so large a per cen of colon bacilll that it will have to be medicated before the people are al- lowed to drink it Colon bacilli are more or less com- has mon on all watersheds, and in all stored surface water. If Stony brook hasn’t enough at present to be worth mentioning. why not let the people have something that is free from alu and_sweet and healthy? We hope the waler board will re- verse its decision and give the public a taste of Stony brook water while it has an official label for purity upon it. INVESTIGATOR. Norwich, March 21, 1913, Solving the Problem. Mr. Editor: As to the eolution of that problem propounded by Inquirer, I think if Mr. Troland had read it with any care he would have seen that I did not send two different answers to the same question, one solved by arithme- tic, the other by algebra. All this dif- ference of opinion rises from a differ ence cn one poini. I think almost any one will agree with me that to sell any article so as to make a profit of 10 per cent. is to get $1.10 for every dollar laid out. Mr. Troland does not think so, and therein lies all the dif | ference. ' I have been “engaged in the pedagoglc art” ten vears of my life, and T belleve I was rather noted for a persistency in explaining to dull schol- ars until I made them understand. T propose now to write a solution of both | questions, solving both by algebra which is the easler way, and explain- ing as I would to beginners, so that any one can understand, whether the: have any knowledge of algebra or not. We are required to get the selling price of the article. If the dealer wishes to make 10 per cent. profit on the cost after the expenses of the business are paid, the selling price must be sufficient to cover the cost the 10 per cent. profit thereon, which would amount to $1.10, and the ex- penses, that is, the sum of these will equal the selling price. We will let X equal the selling price. Then as the expenses of the business are 22 per cent., that is 22-100ths of the selling price, 22-100ths x will equal the ex- penses. We will reduce this fractio; to lowest terms by dividing both nu- merator and denominator by 2 and we have 11-50ths x. Then we have th. | cquation x_equals $1.10 plus 11-50 . | Wa wish. for convenience, to chanse the fraction to a_whole number and 86 we multiply 1t by 50, as, if a frac- tion be multiplied by its denominat that will not ply both the number.
