THE APPEAL FROM CHESHIRE. There cannot help being interest in the appeal which has been made by the librarian of the Cheshire reform- atory, himself an inmate of the cor- rective institution, for the gift of magazines and books, which have served their purpose for their present owners. . Many institutions and organizations are always glad to receive such con- tributions of reading matter. There are local opportunities for passing on such_literature of this character for which people have no further use, but which might help others to pass many pleasant and profitable hours, and not 2 few people make a practice of sup- plying such wants, but there are al- ways a great many who do not stop to consider those less fortunate than themselves because. their attention is not called to it. . Others consider that because a magazine is old or a book is not listed among the best seliers that there is nothing else to do with them but to put them in the ashbar- el or sell them to the waste paper collector, ' When, however, it is declared that there is not enough hooks and other reading matter to satisfy the demands of those at Cheshire who spend an hour or two each night in the reform- atory library, there is pointed out the way in_which a great many people ¢an assist in overcoming ‘the situa- tion, and undoubt: thére will be many who will be only toc glad to this deficiency, how that it made known. The cause {5 a worthy one, and it in the past those who could ald in turnishing g0od reading matter with- out expense to themselves have not done so becaiise. they knew -of no op- portunity, the appeal which has been sent out from Cheshire removes that excuse ‘and ‘it ought not’ to. go um- heeded. ———la L EDITORIAL NOTES.

The author éaid: “our incapabil: ities are the cause of nine-tenths of our irritabilities,” which seemed to me more than probable; ‘“repeating prayers is not prayins,” which be- com@s self-evident; and that “he who fails to pray loses his citizenship in Heaven,” of which there can be lit- tle doubt. This mey read as <wild talk to some people, but it is clear enough to the thoughtful. Nothing makes a person more irritable than the small- est disappointments which grow out of incapability. The praver from the heart “Lord have mercy on my soul” is heard in Heaven, while it is doubtful if one of a thousand pray= ers perfunctorily read or said is ever heard 'there. The carrving -power of human appeals to the Lord is the fervor of the human soul. Citizen- ship is acquired anywhere by <con- forming to the reguirement of the or- dinances, hence nonconformity means everywhere its loss, whether on earth or in Heaven. We need such state- ments oftener. The record shows we have “a cold and backward spring.” In fact one of the most baokward springs in the history of New England. Those who have watched the bursting of the elm- buds for years find that the flower buds burst this spring 34 days later thanthe earliest record, and from 11 to 16 days later than the average. But it is noted that the oriole arrived in Massachusetts on- May 10th as usual, and a bird lover of that state says: “T do not belleve a 10th of May ever dawned on® Massachusetts Pay, that did not bring the oriole’s clear call; and the golden robin has been known to be calling his mate as far north as Concord, N. H, on May $th. The seson upon the whole is a month behind but we shall have our salmon and green peas, as usual, on July 4th. The year will open up with a good grass crop, and if the wheat crop promises to be a little short, it is probable that the productivity of the season will come fully up to the av- erage. Here is the reason woman should be given equal suffrage, according to the ablest evangelist in America to- day: “Because she's made all the sponge-cake and baked all the beans that have kept the church steeples from falling down all over land of ours; because she's run theé bazaars and the rummage sales that have kept the ship of Zion off the rocks” In other words because she has been the salvation of the church and promises to be the salvation of the country. Her faithfulness 2,000 years ago is depicted in the phrase: “Last at the cross— first at the tomb.” Today it is more truly pictured in this: “Last to bed and’ first' at the cooking stove in the morning.” ~ Billy Sunday says: “It ‘would spoil a mule to treat it as some men treat theft wives” and we ail recognize that this is no slander. While men still refuse to recognize their wives as equal partners, we have no trouble in citing cases where they be—and then some. Woman hasn't come into her own yet in this vale of tears. ‘When she does it will cease to be a vale of tears.’ Every American child should be taught to cherish the stars and stripes because it is the symbol of freedom—freedom to every one who seeks it from foreign shores. The American flag stands for democracy and equality of opportunity as does no other flag under the sun. As you and T see it waving in the breeze it says to us: I am the flag of the peo- ple, beneath my folds the prince and the peasant are equally at home and a hundred million people find peace and comfort in twenty million homes. I am for peace, but do not shrink from war which lessens tyranny and en- larges liberty. I am for preparedness as has been every one of the miilions of brave and loyal freemen who have defended me. T am of the people and for the people and the sovereign peo- ple are for me. I am the flag because a free people made me their emblem and have through war's flerce strife kept me the symbol of honor, of hope and of liberty. 1 am loyalty, T am force, I am humanity.” If it were léft to you to pray for one thing of which you would not be be- reft in this world I wonder what it would be. Doubtless some would pray they might not be bereft of, wealth.or honor, but 1t seems to me as if the saddest thing which could hap- pen to mortal man would be to of hope. Dark despalr can the best part of riches, and Bovee. our inquires of us: St The result of this accumulation was given to the public in 1845, in the form |} of a history of the town of Norwich.

No city beau- tiful is or can be founded upon the suggestions of the few, or the spas- modic action of the whole but must Tes: upon inbred taste, orderly habits and purposeful endeavor. The habits and behavior of the citizens have as much to do with it as the breadth, or parking or cleanliness of the streets. To malke a city beautiful every house- holder must , recognize the necessity for rew paint and orderiiness; and every assessor must have sense enough to so perform his dutles as to encourage a spirit of thriftiness in- stead of putting a premium upon slovenliness and promoting civic neg- ligence of private property. The city beautiful to become anything more than a dream must comand the co- operation of all that is best in all of the inhabitants. Sunday Morning Talk THE COURAGE OF CONSCIENCE. Few officials, in history bave had a better chance to make “easy” money than Nehemiah, who Hved and reigned in Jerusalem, the chronicles tell us, in about the year 400 B. C. Nehemiah had full charge of the~immense task of rebuilding the city’s walls. _In the disorganized condition of the Hebrew state, his personal authority was great and his control both of financial and of soclal affairs was well-nigh abso- ute. Yet the man's stand against any sort of graft was a notable one. As 2 rule, his predecessors in office had proved. extortioners, not hesitating to grind the faces of the poor for the sake - of unrighteous gain. Corrupt methods were rife. But Nehemtah had no idea of falling into them. Against the practises of the grafters he ut- tered his protest, a protest that was no fruit merely of a passing impulse, but that rather of religious principle. To all posterity he made known the rea- son for his stand. “So.did not T, be- cause of the fear of God,” he said. That sort of nonconformity is a badge of honor. It is a great thing to stand out against some form of in- iquity, even though “‘everybody’s doing it” “He deserves a Victoria Cross for moral bravery who determines to be one, even if the only one, in his com- munity to do what is right. : The world is largely run by majori- ties and most questions are settled by a-count of polls. The individual is in Ganger of being lost in the mass. Some fashion, no matter how grotesque, gets started and, in a twinkling, every other woman one sees is copying i Some new form of amusement forges to the front and soon everybody takes it ‘up. Some oddity of expression, some catchword or phrase gains vogue and straightway it is on the Hps of the multitude. The haunting _terror of thousands of supposedly sensible peo- ple appears to be lest they fail to dress and talk and sport exactly as all their smart neighbors do. It is a silly and illogical bondage under which to live. No laws com- pels one to follow the majority. It is by no means certain that a thing is Dest merely because the largest num- ber of people shout for it. If civiliza- tion had always followed the lead of the majority, it would have landed in the bog long ago. Of_course, the attitude of moncon- formity to popular usage leads along no_path of roses.. It may involve ma- terial loss and both physical and men- tal suffering. Adherence to his. ideals has meant personal danger to the real prophet in all the centuries. For the greatest Prophet of all, for Jesus of Nazareth, the oourage of conscience conducted to a cross set up on a rocky hill outside a city wall. There is, however, a subtle and pro- found joy in following the pole star that the trimmer to every passing breeze can never know. The Vvery op- positions one meets are ficant and 2 source of homest satisfaction. To be hated by some people is compli- ment_rather than condemnation.

She had -the istinction ‘upon whom the Massachusetts Histor- ical m’ conferred that honor. During the summer of 1866, she was brought by a long and slow fever very near the gates of death, Her second edition of the History of Norwich had just gone into-the printer's hands and the last proofs had n corrected, wlhen her frame, long frail, yielded to the strain, -and with resignation she felt that her life-work was ending. She regained her health in a measure, however, and ‘was able to do light lit- erary work up to the closing week of her ‘busy life. The end came on Feb. 3rd, 1869, and she was buried in Cedar Grove Cem- etery, New London, mourned by friends and admirers throughout the country. She died at the Gome of her step;brother. Henry P. Haven, who o in love and tenderness the bi- ographical sketch which precedes the last edition of her History of Norwich, and who collected with diligent af- fection, the many tributes to her work and memory. Among others who wrote of the emi- nent historian with sympathy and loving tribute are listed Mrs. Charles Coit, Henry Bill, Rev. Hiram P. Arms, D.D., Miss Mary E. Hempstead, Mrs, i H. P. Williams, George L. Perking, and others of Norwich. The local, state and relizious papers published long tributes to her work and personality. All over the land, her poems and notices of her histories were re-print- ed. -One of the most popular of her poems was the Atlantic’s Bell, dealing with ~the shipwreck of a fine new steamer belonging to the Norwich & Worcester Railroad, which was lost on Fisher's Island, Thursday, Nov. 26th, 1846, forty-two persons perish- ing.” When the steamer struck the shore, ' the dashing of the waves against her frame caused her bell to toll. The bell was uncommonly clear and shrill and was heard for a long time, until the wreck was broken to piceces by the storms and carried be- neath the waves, solemnly soundi as thoush tolling the requiem of the steamer and her dead. In preparing her original and sec- ond histories, Miss Caulkins did a prodigious amount of work, and work of the quality which endures. In re- publishing the book, in 1874, Henry P. Haven added much that is of value in these later days. Miss Caulkins wrote, as she explains, “not as a task, but rather for the pleasure it gave. Flowers grew, and fragrance filled the air, all along the path of research.” She expresses the hope that ‘“readers —aged and lonely people, or those among the stirring and ardent, who turn reverently toward the past, the youth perchance, whose curlosity is excited to know what has been done on this spot in other times, and the far-off wanderer who cherishes Nor- wich as his own early home, or the seat of his ancestors—will experience in the perusal of the bokk some por- tion of that satisfying interest which ‘was felt in its preparation.” Mr. Haven carried the work down to the close of the year 1878; and so the valuable and precious legacy of Miss Caulkins’ labors has come down to this generation. THE DICTAGRAPH. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR How a Sheep Raiser Looks at It. Mr. Editor: I feel it my duty to re- ply-to the two last dog letters in your valuable paper. I do not know the kind of sheep or dogs kept around Packer. Mr. Montgomery says there are decgs in his neighborhood more valuable than a whole flock of sheep and then goes on to say that a man has a female setter which he refused $150 for, that he has sold two litters of pups and no man in Connecticut could get one of them for a dozen of his best sheep. Perhaps Mr. Mont- gomery knows what he is talking about, but it sounds silly to a breed- er of good sheep, as 1 can tell him of a lot of sheen right in Connecti- cut fhat cost over $100 each. I have three that cost me $60 each and plenty more in my flock of 90 that are equally as good. Twelve times $60 equals $720, which I think ought to bring quitea nice pup. On’ the sheep side he says a man buys a lot of waste land that_would not support a black snake, then buys sheep and puts them on the land to live or dle. I suppose they dle. He must then have a queer lot of sheep owners and much queerer set of selectmen that would pay a man for sheep starved to death in a pasture 2 snake could not live in. We do not have any of that kind in Lisbon. 1 remembat well when every farmer in town kept from 15 to 200 sheep and every farmer had lamb and peas the Fourth of July, also nice mutton hanging around ready for a roast if a friend dropped in. I do not think the sheep industry slumped by farmers buying poor- land to turn sheep to starve to death as they were not built that way. Ask any of the old farm- ers why the{ stopped raising sheep, I.‘:lfl they will tell you the dogs killed then. ‘And in those times the town and not the state paid for them, and there was always a fight between the owner land.

A letter from New Haven convinces me that we have adopted the .right 2nd only method for the distribution of free ice—and that is through the pub- lic health nurse. The letter says in part: “The people in New Haven had to come to the city hall for their ica tickets, and no city record was made of them, but enough data was taken to know who they were and\to find out of they were deserving. These tickets were exchanged for ice from any dealer who delivered in whatever section the person lived. The ice dealer then presented the ice-coupons at the city hall and was paid. It seemed that the people who _really needed the free ice did not get it, and many who aid not need it, ap- plied for it. Fach one who wanted the ice was to apply at city hall for the tickets, and many of the foreign population never heard of it, and much difficulty was experienced in making them understand that they were not becoming city charges when they applied for the ice. There are many people here who need and should have free ice—and you no doubt have much the same conditions in Nor- wich. * It would seem that ice should be managed the same way we do milk and ggs, and these of course, ar0 given only to families kmown by the visiting nurse, and the visiting nurse is sure to get in touch’ with needy families. I am sorry we cannot give you more ideas about it but it seems to remain for Norwich to show New Haven how.” It would be good to know that Nor- wich can show New Haven how! Tickets have been printed and they will be dated; singed and distributed by our public health nurse. She will see that thev go where ice is needed, and where the privilege is not abused. The ice dealers of Norwich have en- tered very cordially into our plans, and the public should be very gratp ful to them for their cooperation and good-will. ‘We want more money—so that not only the babies may have ice—but any who may need it. Sincerety, MIS& TURNBULL COIT. Norwich, May 19, 1916. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Ireland—The historical and polit- ical importance of Ireland has created in the minds of many Americans an exaggerated idea of the island’s physi- cal proportions and the density of its population, two vital factors in Eng- land’s task of suppressing the rebel- lion which has had its inception in the capital and largest city, Dubiin. ~To- day’s geography bulletin, issued by the Nationall Geographic society from its headquarters in Washington, gives the following information on the subject. “The whole of Ireland, recently w der martial law, embraccs an_ area slightly less than the state of Maine, but with a population almost six timi as dense. In comparison with the go erning Tountry, it is_three-fifths as large as England and Wales, with one- ninth the population. The isiand is one of the very few sections of the civil ized world where the population has shown a marked decrease during the last century. The first census of the island, taken in 1821, recorded a pop- ulation almost 50 per cent. larger than at the present time, while the census of 1841 showed the highwater mark of more than eight millions nearly twice the present population of 4,375, 000. This remarkable decrease, due to a large degree to emigration, began after the famine brought about the destructive disease which attacked the potato crops of 1845. This calamity resulted in the withdrawal of more than a million acres from cultivation within two years. Incidentally, the potato, which has played such an im- portant role in the life of Ireland dur- ing the last three hundred years, is not indegenous to the island, but was one of the f0od gold-mines discovered by the Spaniards in the conquest of Peru. The _country is directly indebuted to Sir Walter Raleigh for her ‘Irish’ po- tatoes, as it was he who brovght them from what is now North Carolina_and planted them on his estate near Cork, in_ 1585, “Ireland lies on the western rim of what was once a part of Continental Europe. It has numerous mountains, the highest being McGillicuddy Recks (3414 feet) in the Killarney region, but there is no mountain chain or ele- vated ‘backbone.’ There is a more or less well defined central plain, how- ever, the distinguishing featire of which is its bogs—the black bog pro- ducing the famous peat fuel, differen- tiated from the brown bogs of the mountains. If the whole islafd were broust to a mean level it would rise 400 feet above the sea. ~The lakes, ot loughs, of Ireland are among its mos lely _appreciated physical characteristics, their scenic beauty being the inspiration of poets, painters and musicians. Nor have the Irish rivers heen overlooked in ap- praisals of the island’s beauties. T Shannon, which flows for 250 miles from the c&ung efA cn:{-n, 'ln :;: northwest, the Atlantic in southeast, is the longest ant article of export and largest breweries in the world cated at Dublin. The island’s produc- tion of beer is three and a half mil- from the Atlanti the thermometer rarely reaches freez- ing point in winter, while the average 60 degrees. tance to Scotland (Mull of Cantirl) s only 131-2 miles. The Giant's Cause- way, a short distance to the east of this point, is the outcropping Halsaltic formation which in a former age join- ed the two islands. OTHER VIEW POINTS There 18 a vast quantity of this stut destroyed because there is no other way of disposing of it. If there is@n- other way householders will welcome it but there is no use in urging them to save unless there is some way of disposing of what they save. The old rag and paper collectors are beginning to “take notice” again, but they are still rare. They are the ones to reach the homes, not necessarily, with an offer of money, but with a bit of po- liteness and attentive industry.—Wa- terbury American. ‘When 15,000 cars are placed every day for unioading and only 5000 car- loads of freight are take naway daily there is but one conclusion to be drawn—that _consignees are not co- operating with the carriers in _their efforts to keep freight moving. Here- tofore it has been assumed that the payment of nominal demurrage im- plies that storage on the tracks is a recognition of storage privilege. Now that the charge is. §5 a day extra per- haps it will be realized that a penaity is being imposed. If the new rate fails to bring relief it will be in order to try other means for the prompt rc- lease of the cars that are needed to do the country’s business.—Providence Bulletin. > . The freight clerks on the New Ha- ven road will not strke and the public will be spared the inconvenience which would have resulted had the men car- ried out their original ideas. We com- mend to employers and employes the methods which the clerks ani the officials of the road took to settle the difficulties. Each side receded from its original demands. The road ex- plained its position and stated candid- Iy how far it could go in meetinz the dematds of the men. The latter final- 1y accepted conditions, which, while not entirely to their liking, were nev- ertheless an improvement. The pub- lic will applaud this effort of em- ployers and employes to get together, thus averting a crisis which would have had serious effects on business. —Meriden Record. Coroner Mix in his finding on the death by accident of Mrs. Larivee of New Haven and the injury of her daughter through being ru ndown by e jitney driver plainly violating the law, a merciless arraignment of the 'reckless and irresponsible persons who are now running cars in and about New Haven, and asks for stern punishment in each and every avoid- able case of homicide of this sort. There have been too many such acci- dents of late in which the injured were victims of a brazen deflance of the laws of safety. The state has done its part in trying to make our streets safe for the average citizen against this new sort of* juggernaut. But where enforcement of the law lags or is entirely neglected we have a nox- 'jous growth of unnecessary accidents springing up on every side.—Ansonia Sentinel. The latest proposition for an exten- sion of the public school system is that the time of the teachers be so ar-| as to permit a sufficient num- ber of them to give a five hour course of instruction to all inmates of the Jails who are 30 years of age or under. That proposition needs careful thought but is worth noting for two reasons. First, because it shows the desire up- on the part of the public to turn the criminal out of fail a better man than when he went in, and secondly because it is another manifestation of the growing desire to extend the useful- ness of the public schools. In passing it may also be noted that the average teacher in coming in direct contact with life, not as it is supposed in the class room to be, but as it actually is, would learn fully as much as the pris- ?vv:d".-}"w adbL > STRICTLY SANITARY OFFICE .Tl’“.lzlb INSTRUMZNTS CONSIDER THESE OTHER Four members of the .
