A Norwich man who notes the arrival
OF the birds in the spring was surprised
tuesday evening to see with what facil-
ity thousands Of swallows packed them
selves away for the night. For the past
ten days he has watched the swallows
as they have cireled in nidair at night
tail over the center of the city. Tues
day night there appeared in one flock so
many that they formed cloud of birds,
and after circling about awhile the
leader started for the chimney on the
northeast corner Of the Broadway school
house, and the whole flock followed, fly-
ing into the chimney till the last swal-
low disappeared. In relating the. Incl
dent the gentleman said: ~ was amazed
20 see them all 60 into single chimney.
They formed large flock, and do not
believe there were less than 5000 of
them."-Norwioh Bulletin.

A Debt Paving Decade.

The Aneio-Saxon race pays its debts.
Score that point TO its favor. In the ten
years from 1880 to 1890 Great Britain
and the United States are the only ma
tons that have diminished their debta.
The others! have piled them IN. But
England's national debt still amounts TO
one7eighth Of the national wealth. ONES
state and national together--to only one
thireeth Of our wealth. So we, have a
great advantage.
The past ten years has seen debts paid
in the United States at q rate never wit
messed anywhere before. Ten years ago
our national debt was 81 300, 0oo, 900.
Now it is only $500, OO0, 900, a billion
paid in ten years. No country but a
grand young republic could do it. At
the census Of 1880 all kinds of public in
debtedness in the country--national,
state, county and municipal--smounted
to $500 for each family, counting five
persons to the family. In 1890 it had
sunk to $3.50 per family. This came
partly from paying debts outright and
partly from increase in the number of
families. But that this was only a part
Of the cause of the decrease is shown in
the fact that during the same debt pay.
ing decade the average wealth of each
family rose from $4,000 to
1900, Has your family its share?

In his address in Brooklyn last week
Professor Houston points out five fea-
turesin the progress of electricity which
appear to him as quite possible,
namely, electricity produced direct
from coal, the steam engine entirely re-
placed by the electric motor, aerial nav
ieation effected, production Of light
without heat and the application Of
electricity to the curing of diseases and
the prolongation Of life.

The first velocipede used In America
was built at Ansonia, Conn, In 1865,

there may. Lecturers ought to choose
some topic of interest to the people to
whom they lecture. Such topic at
present might be historical one con-
nected with the discovery of this coun-

The conference of Lutheran minis,
tiers at Greensburg, Pa, had a debate
ON the question whether a Sunday
school teacher might consistently play
cards, baseball and billiards. The
preachers were as eloquent as only
preachers can be, but at last it was set
tied by majority vote that a Sunday
school teacher might indulge in the
above recreations, provided only he did
1T for fun and did not bet or gamble.

is the largest cooperative manufactur.

world.
The buildings alone cost $3.50. 900
When they are completely provided
with the machinery that is going into
them the whole cost will be s250. 600
The cooperative working capital which
has been gathered by the operatives
for this great enterprise amounts 70
$1,000, 600. The concern win turn out
10000 pairs of boots every week. II
is workingmen themselves, the oper-
atiyes in this factory, have either Dor.
rowed or saved in small amounts the
vast sum which goes into the cooper
alive factory. and they will share the
profits. The very fact that they have
confidence 10 embark in such an enter.

NOAH PORTER.

The news of the death of man like Dr. Noah Porter does not affect the world like the news of the death of great warrior, a great statesman or great fnancier. But a great thinker, and one whose life is de- voted to purely intellectual pursuits, may have as great and far-reaching an influence upon the human race as the man who leads armies, conducts affairs of State, or con- trols 30.O00 miles of railroad.
 Dr. Porter was a good example of heredity. His father was fine scholar, a man of keen moral perception, writer of notable sermons and an important factor in the educational progress of his time. The son was all these, and as president of Yale college had ample scope for the useful employ ment of his inherited and acquired pow CTS. He excelled as teacher and 8 preacher. As thinker and writer he made mark in "The Human Intellect" which will not be effaced while meta physics remains study. And he was also success as an administrator. Dur ing his presidency Yale college made rapid and substantial progress. He knew how to get money for the college and how to use it wisely. He dealt tactfully with the faculty and the students. He was not place have been, but he knew how to get along without frequent dis plays of power. He could be firm enough when occasion required. He left his high office with the warm ap- preciation and respect of all interested in the college and with the hearty affection of the many generations of students which had come and gone under his watchful eye and paternal care.
 Personally Dr. Porter was a very agree able man. His daily walk and converss- tion were characterized by lofty moral principle and true Christian courtesy. He was the same to high and low. The stu dents looked upon him as friend. His heart was as conspicuous to them as his intellect, and to many of them much more comforting He was very considerate of them and was always reluctant to deal with any of them severely, even when they seemed to deserve it. He will be truly mourned by all who were brought into close contact with him in or out of the class room.
 As citizen Dr. Porter was faithful to his duty. He never took any active part in municipal, state or national politics, but he was truly patriotic, and could be relied upon to support in suitable ways any movement in favor of good government. Since his retirement he has lived very quietly, most of the time at his home in New Haven. His we'll spent and useful life is ended, and he goes to his grave full of years and honors. The influence of | his acute mind and kindly spirit will long ravnain

STILL SIGNING,

STILL SIGNING. We print this morning another long lisl of names of those opposed to the perform ances of the Big Four. By Monday even- ing, when the aldermen meet, the list of signatures will be decidedly impressive. One has only to read those which have already been printed to see how general and deep-seated the feeling is. Hundreds of Democrats and Republicans, profes sional men, merchants and laborers, have signed. We notice in the list many names of personal friends of members of the Big Four. They have had to choose between what they believe is good citizenship and personal friendship. They have done their duty and have not hesitated to make the choice. The Big Four has invited just this kind of thing. It has made it necessary to draw the line.
 Of course the Big Four and the alderm sn are carefully scanning the signatures in or der to judge of their meaning. We can tell them what they mean. They mean that the citizens of New Haven are really aroused. We have had rather extended experience in watching public opinion in New Haven, and we do not hesitate to say that the present movement is decidedly deep and genuine one. It is not of the kind that can be brushed aside with the Tempest in teapot" phrase. The Big Four and the aldermen will do we'll to esti- mate it justly.
 In addition to signing tue petition it will be we'll for signers in each ward to tell their aldermen how they feel We believe it would take bold alderman to go against the sentiment of any ward in the city on this matter if that sentiment were made clear to him.

He says: 'I do not hesitate to affirm, as the result of my experience of half century, that no one breed of fowls has been taken in hand by the fancier that has not been seriously depreciated as useful variety of poultry" His point is that breeders have concerned themselves chiefly with the production of birds of fine size, plumage, and markings, without reference to the quality or flavor of their meat or their capacities as layers, in which all-important points prize chick ems exhibit great and progressive deterior- ation.
