(Willimantic Journal.) WIDER TIRES WANTED.

It is reasonable to hope that the atten- tion of our next general assembly will be again called to the necessity of more leg islation of the country roads, akin to the wide tire bill which died in the last legis- lature, mainly because the farmers were against the naval reserve and the shore town representatives retaliated on the subject of roads, though it would seem that their own nose must have been in- iured by the spiteful bite. Something of the kind ought to go through this time and when it comes to choosing candidates it will be good plan to find out how they feel on the subject of good roads. A country correspondent expresses the idea with good Yankee plainness when he says Farmers want common sense laws founded on common sense principles, with the red tape left out, laws that are equit- able and that don't allow one person to hold two offices at the same time that are | incompatible and inconsistent and liable | to abuse. Farmers have not worried over the passage of elevated bills or the in- crease of stock for telephone companies. l Their worry has been over the poor roads | they have to travel and do business on, and in providing some means to preserve the roads and keep them in condition af- ter large sums have been expended in making repairs. They believe that the best means to preserve the roads in good condition is to have wider tires on wag- ons drawing heavy loads. On all roads where wagons with wide tires are used you will find them smooth and free from ruts, but on roads where narrow tires arc used you will find them rough with deep ruts which makes them very bad for light | vehicles, and sometimes almost impass- able. Petitions have been sent to the leg islature from time to time asking that a law be passed requiring wider tires on all wagons heavily loaded that are run on public highways. Important as the pas sage of such law would be to the farm CTS in the small towns in having better roads at less expense, our legislature takes but little notice of the petitions, not realizing the good results that would follow if a law should be passed regulat- | ing the width of the tires on wagons to correspond with the weight of the loads Idrawn."

The census office has made public tho principal results of the investigation of the farm and home proprietorship, which was made in all of the states and territo- ries. This is the first investigation of the kind ever conducted for this or any other country. Of the 12, ,69O, 152 families in the whole country 47.S0 per cent. own their farms and homes, and 2.20 per cent. hire; and of the families owning their homes 27.97 per cent. have encumbrances thereon, and 72.03 per cent. no cncum- brance. The number of resident owners of land in the United States is 6,066, Ar plus such a number of land owners as may be living in tenant families. The farm families number 4,767, 179, of which 65. .92 per cent. own their own farms, and 34.S per cent. hire, while of the owning fami- lies 2S.22 per cent. have encumbrances on their farms and TITS per cent. have none. Among cities having 100,000 population and over, New York has the highest per centage of home tenancy, namely, 93.G7 {;
 Boston is next, with 91.57 per cent. The value of the 1,696,S90 farms and homes subject to incumbrance is $5,6S7 ,2S9, ,0G9, and the incumbrance on them is $2, 132,

It is a somewhat curious fact that, un- til the appearance of "The Golden House" in Harper's Magazine, the life of New York City, in its extremes of wealth and poverty, had never been made the subject of serious study and realistic handling by novelist. Perhaps no other field has been more thoroughly cultivated by the writers of short stories and sketches l; satires and sentimental or sensational in ventions there have been in abundance j; but before this no successful effort to re- alize, in the new manner of conscientious literary wol lkmen, the civic life as a whole-the whole care and carelessness of it-the whole light and shade of it. the shallow selfishness on the one hand, and on the other hand the fine and deep and tender helpfulness of it. Mir. Warmers novel may, therefore, with justice be call ed, as already the readers of serial stories have begun to call 1t, the American novel of the year.

USE IT IN TIME.-Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is, in fact, the great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariable precede ca tarrh, causing an excessive flow of mu- cous, and if the mucous discharge be- comes interrupted the disagreeable re- suits of catarrh will follow, such as bad breath, severe pain across forehead and about the eyes, roaring and buzzing sound in the ears, and oftentimes very offensive discharge.

Speaking of blow ups at the Hazard vile powder mills, the Tourist was in- formed that a singular feature of these explosions is the concussion felt fo1 some seconds before the explosion is heard. At the recent explosion a resident, perhaps half mile away, had just sat down to read a newspaper. 'I looked up," he said to the tourist, "and saw sash in the window opposite my seat in the room coming bodily toward me. It had been forced out of the frame. It also seemed as if the ceiling was coming down on me. 1 moved quickly away, and had gone sev- eral feet before 1 heard the explosion" " The Tourist was narrating this incident to friend. "Ah, that's nothing" he said; "I have a more exciting story of a powder explosion, and it is true, too. There used to be a powder mill in Col linsville, and during the war it blew up. There were two men in the room; one was blown to pieces, the other escaped. The one who escaped saw a thin bluish vapor rushing toward him. He knew it meant that there had been an explosion. He immediately jumped from the window into the river and kept himself under wa ter. He heard nothing, but when he came to the surface again the building was shattered to bits and his companion blown away. ."-H0rtfo7d Post.

 What is citizenship? The dictionary de- fines it as "The state of being vested with the rights and privileges of citizen"
 What are those rights and privileges? The immortal Declaration of Independ- ence defines them as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 In other words, the congregating of men together in civic life ought to guarantee to each one certain essential conditions. There should be safety of life and of prop erty; liberty to pursue one's individual bent, provided it in no way endangers the safety and happiness of others; and a mu- tual interest in and protection of each by all.
 Not only is this right of each individ- ual citizen, but it becomes, from the very fact of it's being a right, a corresponding duty, the neglect of which is criminal. Anything, therefore, which flinders in the performance of this duty is menace to citizenship, and it's destruction becomes

Last winter the speakers at the farmers institutes in Minnesota generally told their hearers that at the ruling price for wheat they should either go in for mixed farming or feed the wheat to the hogs. They were told that wheat-fed pork is better than corn-fed, and that they could make more money by handling wheat in this way than by shipping it east. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press" also advised this course, and now reports that the sug- gestions were very generally followed, and that the results have approved the wisdom of the change. It says that in stead of selling wheat at fifty cents a bushel the farmers who raised swine are now getting the equivalent of dollar a bushel by the conversion of their wheat into pork.
