The great treasury vault at Wash
ington, built not long ago, covers
more than ne-fourth of an acre, and
is twelve feet deep. In its interior
there is a cage of iron lattice work,
the bars of which are made of wrought
iron, and which were riveted together
with red-hot rivets after the lattice
work was put up. 1t took 1000, 900
rivets to fasten the iron work of this
vault together and the lattice has to
be very strong, as the silver is very
heavy. The amount of silver now in
the vault weighs over 5000 tons, and
you could put these $50, OOO, 900 on one
side of the scales and $4,000 men

WHY SOME PEOPLE INSIST ON.
GETTING DRUNK.

Even after physical restraint has
been faithfully persevered in for long
periods, many of those who have been
subjected to it resume the habit OF
getting drunk soon after they are set
at liberty. They do this simply be-
cause they want to. Drunkenness IS
a mode of enjoyment for them. They
either do not believe it to be injurious,
or. if so believing, they drink and
knowingly take the consequences.
Not long ago patient said to me:
doctor, you may lock me up and sur
round me by guards when l go out,
and you may advise me as much as
YOU please, and you may continue this
system of treatment for ten years or
more, and when you stop it and pass
from under your charge, [ shall get
drunk. I shall do so because | like TO
get drunk. | am free citizen Of this
county, and [ have right to get
drunk if [ wish to do So" In TINS
connection it may be stated that many
persons continue to drink to excess
because they believe they have NOR
al right to do so if they choose, and
they feel that it is outrage upon their
personal liberty to subject them to
restraint AS to moral suasion, the
third of our means of cure, it is main
lv successful with those unfortunate
but intelligent persons who strongly
desire to be cured. 1t is with these
xrI1.o1
they have confidence, the encourage
ment that he is able to give them, and
the charity toward their failings which
his knowledge of human nature gives
him, prove most successful. These
are the patients to whose honor we
can trust with the most confidence,
and these are the ones who are most
generally cured.-Dr. Hammond, an
North american.

DIR. Talmage evidently believes in
good cheer. At least here is one of
the sparks from his anvil in the New
York Observer:
eff you would have more good cheer,
instead of talking over so often your
trials, your prosecutions, your losses,
your exasperations, revive the pleas
antries. I warrant that in your life
there have been comedies as well as
tragedies. You could tell me if l
were seated in your homes of scenes
in your life enough relaxing to evoke
a guffaw that would make the chan
deliers rattle. On proper occasions
bring out these old time scenes for
the regalement of yourself and friends.
Do not get dried up before your
time. Do not shrivel. do not care
how long a man has lived, he has no
right ever to be more than eighteen"

Northumberland, England announced that
a furious gale has been raging there and that
several vessels have been wrecked. Only
one life is reported lost Much damage has
been done to the harbor, which has recently
been so much improved. The crops through

and the pier has been damaged Railway
bridges at Penicuicil and in the Esk district
have collapsed, AMI traffic is interrupted
and in many cases suspended.
In the River Mersey much damage has been
done to shipping. At Blackpooi, Lanca-
shire, houses have been inundated and a
great amount of damage has been done to
the crops Reports from several sections of
North Wales show that the storm has flooded
the valleys in that section of the country
and that the farmers have suffered severely.

The Ideal Community.

A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing
the home merchants, the laborers
spending the money they earn
with their own tradesmen, and all
animated by spirit that will not
purchase articles abroad if they
can be bought at home. The
spirit of reciprocity between man
and the mechanic, tradesman and
laborer, farmer and manufacturer
results every time in making the
town a perfect one to do business
in. Perfection /" should always
be desired, even where attainment
is barely possible, we presume,
but a perfect town must be de-
nominated great rarity until we
reach more advanced stage to-
ward the millennium than has yet
been gained.

Can't Help Themselves.

The impure water of the Paterson
and Passaic sewer-viz., the Passaic
River-has caused an epidemic of
typhoid fever IN Jersey City. This is as
we predicted it would be if the people of
that city persisted in drinking the refuse
which they knew formerly flowed into
cesspools and outhouses.-PAssAIc CITY
RECORD.
1t is not true that there is any
epidemic of typhoid fever in this
city, but it is not because drinking
water is not of such a character as
would tend to create fever cases.
The only wonder is that there are
not more cases of typhoid than
there are. But how does the
RECORD suppose that the people
of this city can help themselves, or
avoid using the nasty Passaic
River water when there is moth
ing else of the watery kind which
they can use? 1t is all the water
which a majority of the people can
get, and they must use it, or go
unwashed and drink beer. Our
city authorities and the majority
of our citizens neglect to take any,
or the only practicable, steps to
get better supply-and there we
are

AGED TRIPLETs HONORED.
William, Matthew and David Grant
Celebrate Their Birthday.

Torrington, Conn, has had the distinc-
tion of honoring William Allen Grant Mat
hew Anderson Grant and David Augustus
Grant, in all probability the oldest triplets
in the world.
The old gentlemen are remarkably well
preserved for persons of the advanced age
of seventy. They appeared at the reception
rendered them by the business men of the
place. sang some old hymns with wonderful
fervor and seemed to enjoy the occasion
very much.
The Grant brothers were born in Torring-
ton, Conn, September %, 1921, and have
always lived there. They are steady, sober,
industrious men. They are the offspring of
Augustus and Amelia Cone Grant
General U. S. Grant was direct descen-
dant OF the same stock, being cousin of the
now famous triplets. The Adventist preach
er, Miles Grant, is also cousin. The family
descended from the original English settlers,
coming to Dorchester in 1880 and then set
ting in Windsor, the parent of this colony
coming to 'Torrington.
The triplets have all raised families. Dan
iel lives with his second wife and had two
children son and daughter. The son
was killed in railroad accident; the daugh-
ter is still living. William likewise lives
with his second wife and has two children.
Matthew is still living with his first wife and
has one daughter. All the children live in
that vicinity.
A peculiar circumstance is that three OF
the cousins, children of the triplets, were
born within a period of six weeks.
The exercises in honor of the Grants
birthday were formally opened with musi-
cal programme and the singing by the
triplets of the olden time songs as sung half
a century ago, after which there were
speeches. After the completion of the exer-
cises, which took place at the Opera House.
a reception was given at neighboring
hotel.
William and Daniel look much alike and
are often mistaken, one for the other. They
all have light gray eyes, white hair and
bronzed and weatherbeaten countenances
and look uncommonly well for men seventy
years old.

The Sunday Law.

1t is now seriously contended
that no State has the constitu-
tional right to enforce the obser-
vance of Sunday by law. An
issue has been made up, and is
soon to be passed on by the
United States Supreme Court, so
broad as to cover the right of the
State in the premises. The case
comes from Tennessee on appeal.
The appellant is a farmer, who
was arrested, tried and convicted
under Tennessee law for plowing
on Sunday in a field that lay SO as
to be open to observation from
two roads along which his devout
neighbors went to church. 1t was
testified at the trial that this
farmer was a chronic offender,
who worked every Sunday when
the weather permitted; that he
had been demonstrated with in
vain, and it was only when his ex-
ample had begun to affect the
young men of the locality that the
power of the law had been in
voked. The farmer boldly de-
Tended his course, and claimed
that he had only done what he
had a right to do under the bill of
rights of Tennessee and the Con-
stitution of the United States.
These documents guaranteed to
every citizen the full exercise OF
religious freedom, and forbade
any restrictions on the right to
worship or not to worship, as he
saw fit. He had a right to work
every day in the year if he
wanted. But if he desired to OBJ
serve a day as holy, he was
honestly bound to select the one
that accorded with his conscien-
tious convictions. He was a
Seventhday Baptist and did not
believe the first day to be the
Sabbath but the seventh, which
he scrupulously kept. He there
fore asserted his right to work on
the first day if he saw fit. The
Courts of the State of Tennessee,
including its Supreme Court, de-
creed otherwise, and he was SEN
fenced to both fine and imprison-
ment. The appeal went to the
United States Supreme Court on
writ of habeas corpus. Of
course the argument is that by
the I4th Amendment no State is
permitted to make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citi-
zens of the United States. 3" Reli-
gious freedom is one of those
privileges, and therefore may not
be abridged" 1t is our opinion
that the State right to make a
Sunday law will be sustained, but
on grounds very different from
what is generally supposed.

War on Paste

Is the battle-cry of the Great
Inter State Fair this season. The
days of posters are over. The In
ter-State Fair bills this year, to
use slang expression, are not
sstuck on" the fences.
The press is the best billboard,
and printers ink superior to a mix
ture of -four and water. Muslin
signs and a few Autographs for
show windows are used SO that she
who runs many read" But the
great bulk of people, whom the
Fair management wish to reach
are not the ones who run; they are
busy, hard-working people, with
an hour for glance over the
weekly paper. The management
of the sTrenton Fair realize that
the press is the medium through
which these people are to be reach
ed. It has taken them four years
to learn the lesson, but many a
fair has reached its maturity and
hasn't learned it yet.
The seventy-seven thousand and
odd hundred people who visited
the greatest show East last fair
were brought there mainly through
newspaper advertising. This year
the magement expect the news
papers of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware to
send over a hundred thousand
people to see the Largest, Greatest
and Grandest Fair east of the
Mississippi.

build. This route will open up
large amount of granite. as it is run

also superintendent of the cemetery.
Mr.. Green performed difficult part
with rare tact and faithfulness and
this position will now be an extreme
lv perplexing one to fill. He was
particularly proud Of the beauty of
