THE SELECTION OF JUDGES.
 The Civil Service Reform Association of this city, which has tried to do several good things, appointed 8 committee to prepare 8 bill providing for the appointment of judges of the Common Pleas courts, the District courts and the City courts by the Governor, who now appoints only the judges of the Supreme and the Superior courts, the others being appointed by politicians who can con- trol the caucuses of the members of the leg islature who ostensibly do the selecting. The bill was prepared, introduced by Representa- tive Law of this city. and on Friday it was adversely reported upon.
 This action is discouraging, not only to the Civil Service Reform Association, whose laudable efforts do not seem to be appreciat- ed, but also to others who had hoped that the bill would find the favor it deserves And it is difficult to see what good ground there is for such action. The appointment by the Governor of judges of the Supreme and Su- perlor courts has unquestionably worked well, and why should not the same system be equally satisfactory if applied to the lower courts The reasons for it are, it seems to us, convincing. Most of the Governors of Connecticut have been and will be leading and representative men-men well acquaint- ed with public affairs and with the qualified tions needed by judge. If the Governor is a lawyer himself, as he often is, he has the very best ways of knowing who ought to be made 8 judge A Gov. ernor who has to appoint judges nat urally feels his responsibility, and will usu- ally make appointments which will do him credit and be good for the community In caucus the responsibility is divided If a poor selection is made you cannot point to any particular member of the caucus and say. thou didst it. Nor can the skillful poli- tcian who stworks" the cauous be effectually reached and rebuked, and if he could be it would not hurt him or his influence much If all the judges were appointed by the Gov ernor disgraceful contests over places which ought not to be the subjects of such contests would not continue to offend the better sense of the community. We should not have to see members of the Legislature buttonheled by politicians and others working in the in terest of the candidates. and ready to make almost any kind of 'strade" to secure the coveted prize. This kind of thing tends to bring the courts into disrepute, and is one of the strongest reasons why the Governor should appoint all the judges.
 We sincerely regret that the prospect that this needed reform will be accomplished soon is not better. The reasons in it's favor are so numerous and weighty and the appoint ment of judges of the lower courts as well as of the higher by the Governor has worked so well in Massachusetts that the legislature of 1nnecticut need not be afraid to do it's part toward giving the system tzial hsre

Thirty per cent. was fc- tion, nearly II travels and adventures, S4 history, 9 biography, per cent. scientific, and II per cent ''trash." Four hundred and thirty-two pupils had read one or more copies of flashy NewYork sporting paper. They said they read it because it ''had lots about fights and killings in it," and with great unanimity they thought fit ought not to be sold for children to read it" The report concludes as follows 1T found some child rem who read no books; others again, that read only the poorest. All were anxious to read. The teachers are only too glad to help them. Nearly all children that attend school are reached but who is able to reach the waifs and outcasts, and others who do not at tend school? Nearly all those who can read revel daily over the very lowest class of liter ature Hundreds and thousands pity them, but pity is not what they need; they need help, and that immediately. It may be that some day our legislators will think of those snobody's children Let us hope so, at least"

A Boston physician protests against the custom of sending invalids to Florida and other distant points and exposing them to the fatigues of travel and very radical changes of climate. He advises Boston peo- pie who need change to find it in the hill country of western Massachusetts. This is wise advice. Many invalids are killed by the long and uncomfortable journeys after health which are now so popular.

A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser suggests the following merciful way of deal ing with the sparrow question: This bird is model of correctness about staying in nights. Rather than be abroad after sun down he would turn another family out doors and occupy their lodgings. Here is our opportunity.

Governor Buffers reputation as a reformer is real to at least one man in Massach usetts. The clerk of the Board of Selectmen in one of the towns suburban to Boston recently wrote to the Governor informing him that the county treasurer was delinquent in pay ing over the dog tax due his town. This letter was sent before any demand had been made by the town on the treasurer, and while he was entirely unconscious of any de- inquency of duty on his part. Two weeks after the latter had sent his check for the amount of the tax to the town treasurer he received note from the governor inclosing the letter of complaint, stating that the same was respectfully forwarded, and that he had no doubt the matter would be properly ad- justed between the parties.

Neatncss on the Farm.

Intelligent observers have generally
noted the fact that in every rural neigh
borhood the prosperous farmers are al
most invariably those who keep then
buildings painted, fences in good repair,
and their fields free from stone, weeds
aud rubbish OF course, it may be said
that men who have plenty Of money can
afford to spend it for keeping up APP
pearances. But this evideTtly not the
full explanation of tLis coincidence OF
facts. Men who make money especial
" in farming, are least inclined to pay
it out merely for show. 1t may be safe
ly put down as general rule that work
performed by most thrifty farmers is in
the direction of profit; hence, as neat
ness commonly goes with thrift, ii Is
quite as likely to be one OF its causes as
one of its effects. There are exceptions
to this rule, as to all others. Some
farmers accumulate money still more
rapidly, not by increasing their income,
but by a system of grinding parsimony
by robbing themselves and cheating
their families to put dollars in then
purse. These are not examples to be
initiated The aim of most reasonable
men is not only to make money, but in
the meantime to live in a reasonable and
comfortable manner. To accomplish
these objects it is not difficult to prove
that neatness is essential.
There are many reasons why habits
of neatness in farming lead to success
Such habits are none too common and IL
every business the men who do theil
work in the most thorough manner gel
