Just dimagine what a little April shower means in water and weight to the town in which you live. And the average rainfall for this part of the country is about 45 inches on the level in a year, which means that on every acre of land 27,135 bar- rels of water of 45 gallons have been deposited in rain, of a weight of 5,085 tons to the acre, and the depth of ‘water on the level if made at once would be 3 feet 9 inches. An inch on the level is not a heavy rainfall, and a Norwich rainfall of 25 years ago was 4 1-2 inches, or a fall in 24 hours of 508 tons of water to the acre. Few people realize that the clouds carry oceans of water above them or how much water it takes to keep liv- ing things supplied. LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

He had worked very hard all his life. At last he thought he would plant trees in a field near his house. ' One day he dug some holes. The next £y he set the trees. When the next year came the leaves came out green. In a month they were all gone. The insects had built nests on the branches. They ate the leaves off. The birds came and ate some of the insects. The farmer thought that the birds were eating the trees. He told his son to drive away all birds that he could. At last the trees all died and the man felt very sorry. Z If he had let the birds stay he might have sold the fruit and got a good sum of money. As it was he lost the trees and the money, too. HATTL N, Age 11 Mt. Hope. the wood- An Old Shoe. The first thing I remember is when 1 was on the back of a cow who was going to market to be sold. When we reached there the purchase was made and the cow was taken to the slaught- er house where she was slaughtered. Then I was taken off her back and sent to a tannery where I was cleaned and shaved and tanned. I was put in a wagon with others. Oh, how dreary it was, but at’last we arrived at_the shoe factory. ‘What a dreadful noise! most deafen anyone. I could not think of it very much when a man came up and put me in- to a machine. At first I thought I ‘would be crushed to death, but thank the Lord I found myself living when I got out. When I had gone through many processes similar to this I was put in the hands of men who made me in a shape which American men call a shoe. Then I was sent fo a large shoe store in New York where I was un- packed and put in a large window. I was very proud of myself because I was the only one of the lot that was put there. Soon after a rich man came in and asked to look at me. He seemed to be pleased with me and had me ‘wrapped up and taken home. The next day was Sunday so he wore me to church. After he had worn me for about two months, he seemed to be getting tired of me so he threw me into the gar- bage can and here I am. BESSIE FOX, Age 12. Norwich. It would al- The Honest Woman. One day a poor woman was walking along a city street. She lost her purse which contained one dollar. It was all the money she had and she did not know what to do. A rich woman saw her and asked her why she was so troubled. She told her the cause of her trouble. The rich woman held up a beautiful purse which contalned twenty-five dollars and asked her if it was her's. She replied that her purse dild not contain half as much money as the beautiful one which the rich woman had shown her. Then the rich woman held up the poor woman'’s old purse which she had found. The poor women exclaimed: “Gh, that is my purse!” You may ‘e sure she was very glad, too, it was found, ‘The rich woman knew she was an honest woman and said, “You are an honest woman and I will reward you for your honesty by giving you this beautiful purse.” What do you think she would hav: done if the poor womeén had said the beautiful purse was her’s? The Poor lady went away very hap- py with the purse containing twenty- five dollars. ALICE M, GORMAN. Versailles, Age 11. Annie Brown’s Dolls. Annie's dolls with their curly hair and wide brown eyes look just like little girls. Her dolls came from France, Germany and America. In Japan dolis look like Japanese children. They have almond sh eyes and oval faces. They are dress- ed in kimonas or gowns. Sometimes these dolls are brought to America, but they are always bald. Now the Japanese girls are never sorry that their dolls are bald. Among her playthings the little Jap has many doll wigs, so each day if she likes she can put a change of hair on her pet. But she does not do it often. Once a year in Japan there is a special feast day and for that day one nice doll is kept. The doll can such as Nogi or Oyama. _The doll houses ave very cunning in Japan. They are made in the same style as the houses, in which the dolls’ mistresses live, MARGARET MALONEY, Age 11. Norwich. My Lambs. I have six lambs. Two lambs just alike.

Dear Uncle Jed: A year ago I was spending a vacation with my aunt and uncle in New York. It was a very hot afternoon in June, when all of us were sitting on the veranda and we heard the fire engine, a few min- utes later the building across the street was In flames. The firemen did their best, but there were no hopes of sav- ing the building, but they were sure the people who lived in it would be gotten out safely. Soon a young wo- man rushed through the crowd scream- ing that her child was left asleep on the fourth floor. She started forward to save her only child, but she was held back by three or four of the brave firemen who knew the place was in danger. One of the firemen went up the lad- der and found the child still asleep. He carried her to the window, be- | cause the stairs were in flames; he passed the child to the other firemen, who were standing on the next roof to the building. The mother wae crying from jov for she never expected to see her child’s bright face again.

Dear Uncle Jed: A good horse -is a perfect gentleman. He meets you in the morning with unmistakeable Pleasure. If you are near the grain bin he will give you the most cor- dial welcome, if not to breakfast with him, at least to wait upon him in that interesting ceremony. His drinking is particularly nice. He always loves running water in the clearest brook at the most sparkling place in it. . BMILY HADEN, Age 10.

Mary had studied hard and she handed in the best paper. “See what comes of trusting to work,” she said to Francis, as she hurried home with her god piece. JESSIE BREHAUT. ¥ Spring. Dear Uncle Jed: The first thing that makes me think of spring is the psuasy- willow. It is a fuzzy little flower with a brown cap. It grows by the brook. The buds on the apple, maple anfl lilac are beginning to come out and even the arbutus is out. The birds have come back from the south. I have seen the bluebird, meadow-lark, thrush, robin and red- m:!edl blackbird. Nearly every morning I can hear the bluebird singing near my window and the sweet song of the meadow- lark. We now see the rabbits and squir- rels again, the rabbits running to and fro across the path and into the briars and bushes. We hear the squirrels chattering in the trees. The farmers are plowing their gar- dens and getting them ready to plant. BSome have already planted in their gardens, I think I like the spring best. There are a great many little brooks where I live. Their banks are so green and the water is so clear I think they are very pretty. The trees will soon be leafing out and the birds will be coming to bulld nests, I hope the Wide-Awakes will do all they cam to help the birds build their nests by putting pieces of thread and bits of straw on the trees for them, HELEN A. MAYNARD, Age 12. Lyme, East Norwich, Lobster Fishing. Lobsters and crabs are sometimes caught more as are rats and mice than fish, for traps, called lobster pots, which are made of twigs, are set for them. In these bait is put in the form of cparse flesh, and then they are lot down into the water, when the fisherman ,use buoys to show waere they have'let down thelr pots. Lob- sters are caught in not very deep wa- ter. They are also caught in_ nets. They are brought ashore in_tank boats. I wonder whether any boy or girl has ever thought how lobsters and crabs manage to grow. They have such large, heavy, tight fitting olothes in the shape of shells? Once a year they change their shella. They have a larger shell put on. When the shell comes off they are in a weak and helpless condition. They are in danger of being eaten not only by other fish but by some fish of their own kind. They bury themselves in sand in shallow water, and in a few days they have a new shell. These shells gradually harden, they having grown 2 good deal sinch they cast off their old shells. FRANK PARDY, Age 13. Norwich. A Visit to New Haven. Last summer I enjoyed a trip to New Haven. I arrived on a Wednes- day. Thursday my sister asked me if T would like to go to Savin Rock. I said I should be delighted. We started and got the 2.15 car to Savin Rock. When we got there we were thirsty and so we got a glass of lemonade. We went on the mer- ry-go-rounds and then we watched the people go in the racer. As the peo- Ple went up in the racers they shout- ed. At last it was time to go home, so we got the 5.30 car home, and arrived at my sister’s house at 6.45. T stayed. there two weeks and had a very nice time. I hope I shali be able to go there Great Snakes. Dear Uncle Jed: T am going to tell you of a strange thing that happened last week. Some men were digging the founda- tion of a new house. When they had dug down a little they found the cel- lar of a house that had been there before. It was between Windham and Scotland. The oldest inhabitants in either of these towns never remember of a house being there. The men kept on dig- ging to see what it was like. As they kept digging on they found a nest of snakes which contain- ed twenty-nine. They were all black except one which was speckled., The men killed them all and nailed them : ; fo the | on a board and nalled it to a stick and e e stuckc the stick down in the ground T or show.

First Steps Taken In 1735 But Ecclesiastical Society Not Organ- ized Until 1742, A manual and history of the Com- gregational church in Hadlyme has been prepared by e pastor, the Re rence C. Lyon. The book gives a clear and interesting account of the soclety and the church. The first steps toward the organ- ization of the society and were taken in the petition of Chris topher Holmes, John Hungerford and others, to the First Eeclesias- tical soclety of East Haddam, De cember 19, 1733, hold meetings during the winter months in Hadlyme. The petition- ers in their request said they would still continue to pay their share to- ward the salary of the Rev. Mr. Hosmer, the East Haddam At a meeting held December 30, 1735, the request was granted. Society Organized 1742. But the Hadlyme people did not feel satisfied with a resident pastor only four months in the year, and in 17 the Hadlyme i society was organized. A P sented to the general assembly for a distinct_society.. It was signed by Isanc Willey, Stephen Scovil, John Comstock and others.

Meeting House. Mr. Rawson was_installed pastor on September 18, 1745. But previous to the installation 0‘ pastor the society had taken steps to build the meeting house. At a meeting, December §, 1742, with Captain John Hungerford, moderator, it was veted to erect a meeting house “in six_ 0o width thirty and five foot, and the posts to said house shall be twenty foot long.” At the same meet- ing it was voted “that the place for the meeting house to stand upon should bee on the nole west of Job Beckwith's house.” It is probable that the meeting house was raised in the.summer of 743. The house was taken down in the fall of 1840, and the present church erected on the same site and edicated on January 6, 1841 Parsonage Still Standing. The first parsonage was built by the Rev. Grindahl Rawson in 1747, two years after his settlement. It was the home of clergymen for nearly a hun- dred years. It is still standing and in fair preservation. ‘While Mr. Rawson was the first pastor he was not the first to preach to the new society. The Rev. Isaac Chalker and the Rev. Samuel Briant preached .for short periods. Mr. Chalker went to the Congregational church bury in December, 1743, and tinued as its pastor until his death in 1765. - The Rev.
