Among the imstitutions of this character created during tine last half century is mentioned the Eliza Hunt- ington Memorial Home. This was established under the will of Jedidiah Huntington, a successiul merchant of Norwich who died here in 1872, at the age of 81. In purs ance of the charitable wishes of nis wife and as a tribute to her memor Mr. Huntington gave the house and grounds on Washington street that had been their residence for forty-onc years, together with the sum of $35,000, as he stated ‘“as a pleasant home for respectable and indigent, aged, and infirm females.” Since its incorporation as the Eliza Huntington Home Dby the legislature in 1872, its affairs have been success- fully conducted by a board of trus- tess, of whom five are elected annually by the corporation, while two. the rec- tors of Christ church and Trinity Episcopal church. are members ex officior The general manager is Rev. J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity parish. The writer of the book goes on to pay a merited tribute to the United Workers, incorporated in 1875.

The supreme se viee for which he is set apar, to render which he gives up all thought of business suceess or political pre- ferment is not exalted to high hono: The prophet in the modern age may feel as a merchant wouid who had rich stores of goeds on his shelves, but was unable to dispose of them. It is as certain as that day follows night that a change in this regard is at hand. The markef for the bread of life is being marvelously quickened and extended in these me: Suen facis as war, sacrifice. suffering, and death reveal the elemental needs of tae soul. Men are conscious of their ui- timate and complete dependence upon God. In calm weather and fair sail- ing, no pilot is needed. The black storm puts another aspect on this mortal vovage. We turn our thoughts to the only Power adequate to deul with our desperate human situation. In the strain and stress of the last few years a multitude of men and women have turned their unaccustAn- ed thoughts gropingly toward relizion. They have been striving to call bac balf forgotten impulses of earlier day. trving to dig again the oid wells of faith. They are in the plight of Abra- ham Lincoln during the dark davs of *61, who confessed: I have been driv- en'to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.” After our Clvil War, when scarcaly & heme north er south, had been pass- ed over by the angel of death or of calamity, sweeping revivals of genuine relizion followed the country over, because men’s hearts were eager for an evangel of comfort. There was nothing in the world that people want- ed so mueh to hear and believe as that God is, and that God is Love. So all it prove in the present crisis.

Such is the tribute of Mr. Gilman's book to this splendid organization. It might be added that its alert manag ment is constantly reaching out for new oppertunities of usefulness in the best most altruistic sense. Such branches as the e Mothers’ gue, the Free Ice Fund, and the iike quiet but effgétive co-operation with the NorwichgState Tuberculosls Sanitarium in aidifg certain cases, the Employment Bureau, members of which have devoted regular afternoors for long years to the preparation of work to be taken home by needy wo- men who rely upon the payment therefor as an addition to their slend- er incomes, the children's sewing school, in a hundred ways this fine, unselffish body of Norwich women is working on, ever secking some new channel of helpfulness. Of late, it nas become custodian of that splendid fund left by the late Adam Reid for the aid of Norwich poor, in families where there.are no users of intoxicating li- quors. Wi other towns are di fied with their systems of public charity, much of which devolves upon town of- ficials churches and individuals, this now generously financed organization, continuing _its monistrations on . a strictly working and practical basis, is a model whieh all cities might well copy. Indeed, it has been copied and with the greaMest satisfaction by one vecalthy community, the town of Gerenwich. When Miss Carrie K. Rogers, a native of Norwich. now of Washington, D. C.. and Mystic, was a member of the household of her uncle, the iate Robert M. Bruce, the million- aire philanthropist of Greenwich, be- nevolent women of that -town w mooting the project of organized charities. By invitation of Miss Rogers a com- mitiee f{rom the town came to Nor- wieh, and was afforded an opportuni- tv for a thotough study of the system and business methods of the United Workers On this committee’s return home, an organization modeled upon the Nor wich one was formed and received substantial first aid from generous Mr. a short time before had given Greenwich its finely equipped hospital and its magnificent 100-acre public park. So. Norwich set the pace for th vstematic and satisfactory admini; tration of charities to one of the wealthiest communities in this or any of other state. Tt is well to have these forms practical bencvolence reviewed casionally, since townspeople, like publics are prome to be ungrateful, principaly because facts are quickly forgotten in a busy world, while new- comers accept conditions and insti- tutions as they find them, not knowing nor seeking their origin. o Jedediah Huntington, John F. Slater, Lafayctte S. Foster and Moses Pierce, these names belong to a generation which aceomplished wondrous things for Norwich but who remembers thern now, or who pauses to weigh the fall value of their generous service to their town? For that reason Mr. Gilman’s book is doubly valuable; a volume to be pre- served by natives of Norwich and their descendants, by institutions which have benefitted by these and other gen- erous benefactors, and by all who would study the town’'s beginnings in the various ways whieh have made the name of Norwich one of such dfs- tinction that its sons may say, with the pride of Saint Paul. “Indeed, I am a citizen of no mean city THE DICTAGRAPH THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. Tarragona—Could the shades of the ancients—Phenician, Roman, Goth, Moor, Norman—who in the course of its history have gazed seaward from the Tarraconian bInff, have been gathered there February 26th, what an astonishing picture would have un- folded to their age-old eves when nine armed merchantmen and seven sub- marines enzaged in a desperate naval encounter a few miles away. “Tarragona (the Pheniclan Tarach- Citidel) stands guard on the ortheast coast of Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from a _long. narrow, irregular plateau rising sheer 260 feet from the sandv beach,” savs a hulletin just prepared and lssued by the, National Geographic Society from its headquarters in Washington, which touches upon some of the striking his- torical features of this ancient strong- hold “The foundation of the original fastness of ‘Tarraco’ has been hed to the Kesseterians, to whom are credited the Cyclopean walls, the remains of which are plentiful in this neighborhood. Selected by the Phenicians as a maritime seftlement. it was eaptured by Cneius and Publius Cornclius Sei- pio in the Second Punie War, a harbor and fortifications were construeted and the site beeame the Roman head- quarters in Spain. The province sided with Pompeyv against Caesar, but on the defeat of the former the Tarra- gonese were quick to make overtures to Angustus, and at the elose of his Cantabrian campalzn he wintered in Tarragona, B.

In 1118 San Oldegar of Barcelona grant- ed the site to Reber: Burdet, a dough- tv Norman warrior, whose wife, Si- bylla was as handy with the battle-axe as was her spouse, for during his ab- sence she stood armed guard upon the walls and successfully held the Moors at bay. “From then until more modern times the city remained n frontier fortress and nothing more, Christian commerce being centered at Barcelona, while the Moorish traffic sought the port of Val- encia. “In 1811 Tarragona was sacked by Suchet .and in 1813 it was invested by the Anglo-Sicilian army under Sir John Murray, On the advance of 2ounlt, Murray discreetly retired leav- ing 19 guns in the ememy’s hands, a proceeding which so incensed Napier that he denounced it as ‘an operation perhaps the most disgraceful that ever befell the British arms.’ §o_much for the history of Tarragona.” Describing . a e, |ihat the wealth they. aiready possess DAVIS 1737 o Atuoww:uwumuu THAT CANNO' .

The town divided into upper and lower sections, the upper heing enclosed with the re- mains of walls girfiling the high grouna on which stands the celebmated cathe- dral, built in the 12th century—one of the most imposing examples of the Late-Romanesque-Transition perior in all Europe, wherein is te be found the tomb of James I of Aragon—Jaime el Conquistador. Pages have been written by lovers of architecture who have lingered hours within the shad- ows of this psalm in stone, “Not far mrom the cathedral is the Plaza de la_Fuente, said to occupy the site of a former Roman Circus, in which s an old Roman well 150 feet in depth. A charming walk is along| the Paseo de Santa Clara, which skirts the sea edge of the bluff 'and which is built on the remains of old Roman walls. From this promenade may be seen the Torreon de Pilatos, for Tar- ragona, with questionable pride, boasts itself the birthplace of the judse who washed his hands of Christ. However, the birth of Prudentius in this city, A. 1. 348, onme of the earliest of the Christian poets, made some atone- ment for the cradling of Pontius Pi- late. 'hree miles north is the celebrat- ed two-tiered Roman acqueduct, popu- larly called Puente de] Diablo, almost infact, built about the beginning of the Imperial epoch. This is one of the far-famed glories of Spanish antiquity. The Tarragona of today contains about 30,000 inhabitants, and pursues a lively trade in wines, nuts, fruits, and ofl. Martel and Pliny ceiebrated its sunny clime, and its wine which in their day vied with the Falerian, but the full-#odied wines produced there today are used to give to port a healthier hue.

The highwayman or burglar takes trom one person or family, and usually from those who are wealthy or well- to-de, and can better stand the loss, uniil the criminal is hunted down and breught to justice; but this other thing is certaiply the limit, And the faet gives them the power to do this thin; makes the crime doubly heinous, And, in these days when we are brought face to face with se much trouble, oh! what are they made of?

But the detalls of the va rious speeches delivered dtring the recent session of the Austrian parlia ment, particularly by the Cz pu ties, are beginning to triekla th various sources only now. The es made against the Austrian g ment are indeed sensational and how far the decomposition of this em pire has progyessed.
