Following closely on the lat-| ter was New Year's with.its greetings and now that is becoming a bit dim. These thres events are peaks close to one another in the range of Delectable Mountains which God has put into this huiman gcography. Being human iike Peter we would like to stay all the time amid these scenes of transtigura- tion. Eut the Master says, “get down to the lower levels where the® real work of life is done.” The value of a man’s life is estimated by the success of his daily toil: it is What he does day in and day out, that really counts. The man who climbs to the top of 2 very high mountain usually does it to show off. There are no farms, no workshops, no colleges, no objectives for human endeavor on the mountain peaks. It is the post-holiday season that counts in the life of labor. If 1 remember correctly we let last Forefather's day pass practically un-| roticed. One can easily see why this should happen. Celebrating the day that marks the ~settlement of New England, and, incidentally, the begin- ning of our American civilization is largely a.mational affair. It does mot appeal with much force to either the far east ‘or the mear east. It is mot a matter in which Great Britain; France or the states of continental Bu- rope are specially interested. The two 'closing months of last year were al- most wholly devoted to matters of international politics. As the larger always includes the lesser, so the Washington conference for the Hmi- tation of armaments loomed up big- ger than Plymouth Rock. Probably the great tercentenary celebration of last Year had a tendency to put Dec. 20 of last month into the shade. But let us not forget that Plymouth Rock is | still on the map, and the things there | started still are, and ever will be, living issues. With some notable excestions | be- jeve that our modern manners and stoms are an improvement on those that were once in vogue.

As the real cold is not supposed to come till Dec. 20, January is natu- rally the coldest month, and we mneed not look for spring till March 20. Still the first month of the year seems to slip away the quickest of the twelve. Apparently there are saveral reasons for it; 1. We bone right down to the day’s work with right good will with very little outside interruption.

I can- not understand why: we should so read. ily remember what cccurred on a ce: tain Fourth of July, and not recall what happened on a certain First of January, right here in our own coun- try.

This true sister of the Declaration of Independence was giv- en to the world Jan. 1, 1863, In the fall of the year preceding,. Lincoln called his cabinet together and read to them the immortal production. It was en- tirely the product of his great brain and: heart. Why not make January 1 as great a day as July 4.

The tur- key has been a dooryard companion and ornament,/and’ & wholesame and delicitas article of f00d, évér since early Colonian times, and the idea of glving it up now, or of classing the bird with the canvas-back @uek as an article of pure luxury, fs fiot to be endured. We may, it we please, talk about substituting the humble goost for the turkey on our tables, but as & mipter of fact the goose is no sugstitute for the turkey. It is inferior to It in every way.

If it lived out of doors 1ll winter here in itas natural eondition, whoy should it be con- sidered a8 jcable to maintain it here with all thé poultey houese ‘modern woodsatpghdrs theeet The truth is that it is easy eusugh to raise turkeys even in New England, if the bird's matural requirements are con- sidered. It must not be forgotten that the turkey is a bird of comparatively re- cent domestication, and is as yet imper- feotly adapted to civilization. Proba- bly the trouble with regard to the New England climate, as the turkey now gets it, is that the “climate” is mot bad enough. That 18 to say, the bird is soft- ened and sickened by too much warmth and_sheiter. “Treat 'em rough’—that is the word, if you want to raise tur- keys succéssfully. + And yet mot too rough. There is no use in abusing the bird. It is a fact that it does like to be wet. In its natural environment it Toosts high, far away from the damp ground. It promenades and seeks its food, by preferenge, in the dry woods and flelds.. And how it does travel! The turkey is an eminéntly pedestrian bird. Deprive it of its chance to walk miles every day and it indeed languishes nx\dl may dle. While, therefore, it is easy to raise turkeys if you do what they want you to do, it may not always bs easy to do that. It was a simple plan which the farm- ers used ‘to follow when the Nomad was a boy. All wert then engaged in turkey farming, but they carried it oy co- operatively. The turkeys were allowed to go where they pleased all summer, and they ran together, passing from one farm to ancther, within a practicable limited area. Each farmer in the par- ticular neighborhood stmply kept a rec- ord of the number of chicks that he put intd she neighborhood poel in the spring, informing the y unless the spifit of friendship exists in the heart, any outward expression of it is only “the sounding brass or the tinkling eymbal”. And if it does exist in the heart, one mode of expression is just as good as another. One thing is quite patent, and that is, the dis- gusting scenes that used to attend the celebration in our eities especial- 1y is now relegated to the swineherd's hut. All lovers of decency and pro- priety will rejoice that the changed sentiment of the country has lessened one great national quagmire. Famous Trials other members. In the fall, the -twrkeys were rounded *up, counted, and assigned to the different I'members of the group pro rata, each farmer recelving in proportion to his contribution in the spring. Of course there had been casualties, from hawks and other causes. But the casualties were always low; the turkeys had en- tirely supported themselves and taken care of themselves In the interval. Eaeh farmer took his own—the Nomad never heard of any trouble about it—and the turkeys intended for the market or for home consumption were then put in a dark place and fattened with corn, a sufficient number of hens being saved for the next season, and kept in half- open sheds with the other poultry. In the spring it was customary to set the turkeys’' eggs under common hens, as being better mothers, though the hen turkeys often stole their nests and raised thelr own broods. The hen-tur- keys lay their eggs in wila places, but the farm boy knows where to find them. Under such a system as that, the tur- key is able to approximate closely the natural conditions of his existence, and he escapes the fussy and confined treat- ment that he abhors. Of course, as bearing on the question of the hardiness of the turkeg in this climate, there is the possibility’ fhat the domesticated turkey which we new have in New Erngland is not the descendant of the wild ‘fowl that once lived he- may have descended from those that were indigénous to & warmer climat . It has to be considered that when the Spaniards introduced turkeys into Europe, they took them from Mexico, and the Spanish turlfey spread . into France and-other European countries, and may have been byought thence back to America. But there/is excellent evidence that the Ne® England colonists domesti- cated the local wild turkey. Josselin's “New England Raritles” (1672), a book recently noted in thes» columns, tells of the settlers bringing up “great store of the widl kind of turkeys, which remain about the house as tame as ours in Ene- Tan, Undoubtedly they domestivated wild birds. But their successors aksa probably introduced the French and Spanish _sort, particilarly the big White ones which are 5o much volued in France. These may have an effect in diminishing the turkey's power of yesistance to cold and wet weather. But the fact remains that our turkeys show a very zreat power to resist intense cold, even if they do not like to be.wet. Turkey chicks are cer- tainly sometimes Lilled by wet storms, and should pe kept out of them Why do we call these lLirds “turkeys”? It is a mocted question. They have nothming to do with Turkey. The com- monly accepted idea s that the Turks got hold of them from Srain, and that. being brought from Turkey to England, they were called Turkey cocks or Turkey hens —a name subsequently shortened to just turkey.” But there 18 no historieal ev- to support that theory.

He was comneated with t’e Sante Croix church, and in 1632 was accus- ed of witchcraft by some hysterieal novices of ‘the Carmelite Convent, where the trial, protracted for two years, was held. He was finally found guilty and burned alive at Loudun on the 18th of August, 1634, He was a man of great personal charm, of good carrlage and graceful figure. He carried himself with an air of great dignify and was addicted to gallantry; and hence it came to pass that among his enemies some were rivals, some incensed fathers and oth- ers enraged husbands. But amongst all his enemies there was none so for- midable as Trinquant, the King's at- torney, who had,a beautiful daughter whose good graces Grandier had won. These sworn cnemies of Grandier laid their_heads together to compass his ruin. They brought a charge against him of which he was convicted, but upon his appeal to the higher court he was honorably acquitted and given the power to prosecute his enemies for reparation. Returning to Loudun with an alr of triumph he treated his ene- mies with a haughty coldness, which the latter conmstrued into nothing but an act of bold defiance, mud they Dbreathed nothing but revenge. Not long after reports were whis- pered ghrough the town that some of the nuns of the Carmelite Convent were possessed of evil spirits. Mignon, one of Grandier's eneniles, called upon one of his friends, Barre, to come with him to the convent and exorcise the nuns who were possessed. Then twere gathered many of the dignitaries of the Church and the officers of Loudun and the surrounding towns. When they arrived at Carmelite they learned that two nuns at that moment were posess- ed, one of them the prioressand she was then examined. Mignon then as{>d the “demon”, “For what reason have you entered the body of this virgin?” The woman—who was supposed to Dbe then under the influence of the devii—replied: “Out of spite and ani- mosity.” Upon the girl being asked by what pact, she answered, “By flowers” and then under examination, the “devil® in her told that one had semt her some roses whose name was Urban. As the Pope’s name was Urban she was ask- ed his surname, to which she answered “Grandier.” The girl then went on to teli of what church he was and when the ques- tions were finished she convenient- Iy returned to her senses. This was not the only exhibition, for almost every day some of the nuns were “possessed of a strange spirit” which contorted their faces and bodies. Upon being examined, they all replied that 5 does like “turk” That notion of the gxe devil had bee;n sent by Urban|goung of the call may really be derived randier. He at first took no notice!som tne common name of the bird. The of these exhibitions, regarding them |prench. call the turkey ‘“dindon,” which merely as a farce, but ominous whis- perings began to be muttered, and he resolved to free himself from gossip once and for ail. The result of the public examination showed that the girls had been promp- ted by the enemies of Grandier, and if, as onec said, the devil really was in them, they would know how to talk good and perfect Latin which the nuns did not in answer to the questions. At last three of the nuns, being tired of the long trial before the King's at- torney, confessed that they had learn- ed their parts and had been instruet- ed by Barre, Mignon and one Laubard- emont. But even this did not influ- ence the judges, who were greatly prejirdiced against Grandier and de- termined that he should die. The trial dragged on for more than two years, and it was on the 18th of August, 1634 that the sentence was at last pronounced. Grandier was convict- ed of “the crimes of magic, scorcery and the posession entailed by his deed upon the persons of several nuns, to- gether with other enormities, for which he was sentenced to be led with a burning torch around the city, to be and previ- ous to this, to be put to torture, or- dinary and extraordinary so that he would confess his accomplices.” This was carried out, the torture consisting of the legs being bound by two boards and. wedges driven be- tween, eight in all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gilbert Clocks Mr. Editor: In reading in vesterday's Bulletin of Mr. Fegguson's talk to the Rotary club in regard te-the early manu- facture ©f clodks in Connecticut, I was surprised that no mention was made of the Willltam L. Gilbert Co. of Winsted, Connecticut, as it was one of the pioneer industries in that line. Samuel and Luth- er Hoadley and Riley Whiting began the manufacture of Wooden elocks in Winsted in 1807. It was carried on by different ones till the William L. Gilbert Ciek Co., was incorporated by the legislaturs in 1871. The business has been successfully conducted since, and the Gilbert clocks are sold all over the known world. I think I can vouch for the rellability of their make as my father bought a brass shelf clock of them In 1850 and the same movement had run continuously untit his death in 1911. The wooden case Was cov- ered with veneer and a picture thatI al- ways admired from childhood, entitled on the insi of the low- er half of | the glass door. Some difference in'the width and length of the ladies’ skirts pictured there and the tresent time is moted a3 it was in the days of hoop skirts. Willlam L. Gilbert rose from a poor boy to be ome of the men in town and as he living children, in memory of a dau who died ycung, he founded the well known Gitbert Home for dependent chil- dren and also the Glibert school, one of the best equfpped high scho-ls in the state. So his memory will live In the hear(s of grateful people long after his elcks have ceased to tick. CLARA J. BALDWIN, . Jan. 6, 1922.
