A CITY FORESTER.

After New Haven gets her new flag
pole up, her schools properly supervised,
her firemen satisfied, her new charter
interpreted and her taxes reduced she
might perhaps find profit in making a
city forester. She has some celebrated
trees which are worth special attention,
her pleasing title ''the City of Elms' is
worth preserving, and a city forester
might do much good in several ways.
Springfield, Massachusetts, has a city
forester, and he is considered to be a
very useful man. The Northampton
Herald has this to say about him: The
city forester of Springfield is doing
work for his city that is well worthy of
the emulation Of the officials in charge
of shade trees all over the common
wealth. The people of Springfield have
for some time been awake to the impor-
lance of taking care of the trees, and
during the last session of the legisla-
lure llfey Seculeu llie ptSSdSG VI ill ACT
which would increase the powers of the
forester in dealing with the owners of
horses which gnaw the bark Of trees
along the curbstones. The forester has
now secured the cooperation of the su-
pervisors of highways and bridges, so
that the employees of that board will
hereafter think twice when laying curb
ings and sidewalks before slashing into
the roots Of neighboring trees which
may be little in their way. 1t is now
very properly held by the officials OF
Springfield that the law which forbids
the mutlation of trees applies to the
roots as much as to any other portion

Let 1t rise! Let it rise, till it meet
the sun in his coming Let the earliest
light of the morning gild it and the
parting day linger and play on it's
summit" So said Daniel Webster con-
corning the Bunker Hill monument.
So say we concerning the new flagpole
which is to be put up in the place of
the old one within thirty days" Just
think of it! New Haven. has actually
come to the end of another discussion
and is about to act again. Why, it re-
minds the old-timers of that decisive
day when the Parthenon on the Green
met its long-delayed and much dis
cussed fate. Torn and agitated as the
town was, and reproachfully as the
moon looked down on an iconoclastic
generation, there was widespread relief
in the discovery that New Haven could
make up her mind. She has again made
it up, and it now seems certain that
the Star Spangled Banner will float in
beauty and glory from the top of the
new f1agpole within thirty days" Let
the new f1agpole rise, and as it rises
let patriotism soar, and confidence in
New Haven rise and shine In spite
of all temptations, New Haven can still
make up her mind.

Of the tree, and they have 50 notified
all builders, excavators and contractors
in the city. Another move ON the part
of Springfelds forester is the recon-
mendation that street shade trees here
after be set out along the outer edge of
the abutters' lawns instead of as for
merly between the sidewalk and the
gutter, By laying out the tree-planting
space along the front of lawns the gains
are many over the old plan. The trees
are out of reach of horses; the roots are
not likely to be cut when laying curbs
and walks; the sidewalk drains freely
into the street in wet weather instead
of holding the water; the street appears
wider and the lawns are also increased,
and front verandas are better screened
from passers-by. This plan is urged
upon persons cutting new streets.
New Haven certainly needs city for
ester, but as it is becoming evident that
she can't have all she needs and stand
the taxation therefor we will not press
the matter now. BY and by, when she
has more means and ID living within
them, the matter can be brought up for
serious consideration

| To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Twelve thousand dollars for Dewey
celebration in Boston, Yes, that's all
right for Bostonians to be patriotic and
show that they love their country, and
appreciate noble work done for it, but
If these same Bostonans really loved
their country with a deep, true love-
would they allow the Cuban children
to long to go to Protestant school to
learn, when the Protestant school and
teachers are there all ready and waiting
for the $40 a month with which to pay
the rent of the building. How long
they will wait remains to be seen.
When the people in cuba, now our
citizens, are waiting to be gathered into
Protestant churches and taught the
way of life, the way to become citizens
worthy of our country, and we still let
them wait, let this grand opportunity
go by, for lack of funds to build
churches, etc, isn't there something
wrong?
Rev. A. De Barritt of Havana says:
Il have travelled in many countries
and seen opportunities in many lands,
pul nave never seen country so ripe
for Christian work as the Cuba Of to-
day. Unless the Gospel is preached to
this people and they are gathered in
Christian churches, ] shall view the flu
ture with apprehension. Thousands
now in the church are restless and de-
sire the truth but if the truth is with
held, then the responsibility will be
ours and the loss theirs

States travel hundreds of miles every
week, working in fields 1--WE times too

preeiated, when appeals for funds to

so small a response,-I say there must
be something the matter with our pa

IN EdRNEST PREICHER.

1t is recorded that a preacher in
Brooklyn said in HE Sunday morning
sermon: II would rather my son or
my friend should drink deeply of the
Intoxicating bowl than that either of
them should form a taste for that evil,
diaboical at its worst and bad at it's
best, known as Sunday journalism
After the preacher had said this at
the morning service and before he pre-
pared the letting off of another blast,
that Sunday night, that is, on that very
Sunday afternoon, he sat down and
wrote out summary of his morning
blast, satisfactory to himself, and
mailed it, that Sunday afternoon, to a
newspaper, with the polite request for
the publication of it in that paper 8
Mondays issue.
Thus the good man worked as re-
porter Sunday, in order to let his oppo-
sition to Sunday newspapers be known.
1t was self-sacrificing deed, and he
is more than half right about Sunday
newspapers.

There was little maiden once,
In fairy days gone by,
Whose every thought and every word
Always began with u.

Il like, 81 want" 81 will

Her schoolmates would not play with her,
Her parents tried in vain
TO teach her better, and one day
Poor Il" cried out In pain

Do save me from this dreadtn' enid,
Or | shall soon be dead!'t

They caught poor az away
And nursed him into health again
Through many an anxious day;
And In his place they deity slipped

With roguish smiles, 1.-The betterV'
The little maiden wept and sulked
AT first, and would not speak,
But She grew tired of being dumb,
And so, within week
She used the substitute and 10!
Her playmates crowded round,
Her parents smiled, and all were pleased
To hear this novel sound.
She grew to use 1t steadily
And liked it more and more,
1t came to fill a larger place
Than "I' had done before;
And each year found the little maid
More kind and sweet and true.

CLOTH Machine stitching furnished the
band trimming. Revers and collar
were plaid cloth showing green, gray
and white, and white cloth piped the
edges. Still another point that proved
the newness of the suit though moth
ing besides what has been described
was necessary, was the skirts habit

thinking that the wearer OF this gown
was Indifferent to appearing up-to-date.
Flannel petticcats in all dainty colors
will be trimmed with silk f1ounces. That
is a good idea, for the set about the
hips will be snug and suitable for wear
under the skirt of the season. Then
flannel will be more comfortRb BILE than
will the all silk petticoat. Women need

All petticoats are cut with a flare of
frils from the knees, and many show a
row of frills up the back. the top row
coming just below the round of the fig
ure and being hardly longer than a
quarter of yard. From this length
the rows increase in length till the row

IA SHION NOTES,
Fashion Won't Permit n Uniform

Fashion Won't Permit IA Uniform.
Jacket suits are to be worn generally
this winter, and some of them are dis
tnctly dressy. These are greatly to be
preferred to the palmer ones. Fashion
will not endorse this season anything
like uniform of Jacket and skirt, as 1t
did with eton suits some eight years
ago. In consequence there is danger OF
appearing Indifferent to dressing well II
the suit does not have some up-to-date
touch in cut or trimming. All danger
of this can be avoided by a much
smaller degree of originality that char
acterized the suit pictured here, but 1t
was an especially pretty example and
shows what can be accomplished In this

Gambling" is still the name of the
process of testing eggs, although the
candle has gone out of date. In the
dark room of the poultry and eggs
house hangs an electric light. 1t is in
a house with two bright eyes. The egg
testers sit on the other side of the cleo
trio light. They raise two eggs at a
time from the cases in which they come
from the buyers and hold them for a
moment between the electric light and
the human vision. Decision is instant.
The movement which follows is so rapid
that it is hard to follow. Examining
two eggs al time, the tester must con-
clude at once in which Of five directions

FUN FOR THE CHILDREN.
Explaining to Them a Wonderful Meat.
 Eating Plant.

Eating Plant.
 Now, children, I am going to show you a few curious experiments with the sundew. which l believe were first tried by celebrated man named Fran cis Darwin. On this plate I have pill box full Of fine gravel, another filled with finely chopped raw meat, the third holds raw white of egg, and thls one has in it small chips of wood. Now, Eva, take very small pinch of sand, sprinkle few grains on this leaf, and tell me what you see. Don't push, children. There is plenty of room for every one, as I said before. I will sprinkle some on the second plant, so you can divide Up into two parties. Tommy, stand by me 1 know there are seven, but count as one, so now there are four to each pot. Well, what do you seer" A feeble chorus Of Moth ing. oh, nothing did not impress Un- e1e Grim. Look again. take differ ent leaf on each plant and I drop 8 little white of egg from the blade Of my knife. Now, watch" "Ohl" .Ahp Its shutting up!' "It's eating itl" were the cries, after minute or so. Quite right. You see, we cannot cheat this plant. It knows what suits 1t and what does not. and it is neither so ignorant nor foolish as to eat gravel which it could not possibly digest. Now I offer a third leaf on each plant q chip of wood, and you see they both again refuse to have anything to do with it. and, last Of all see how these same leaves wlEicb refused not a mo- ment ago the chips Of wood, now close tightly over the pieces Of meal" ."-- Cassell's Little Folks.

ODD BITS
Of Change Left by Customers Help Out

O1 Change Left by Customers Help Gut
 the Cashiers Salary.
 Philadelphia Inquirer: Odd bits of change thoughtlessly left by customers form no inconsiderable part of the income of cashiers in certain business establishments, notably restaurants, saloons, cigar stores and similar places where, during many hours of each day, there Is a steady rush of patrons. T get $15 a week salary said cashier, land I always count on an additional $3, CT 50 cents per day, through for gotten change. do not consider that am doing anything dishonest, either, because I always make an effort to att tract the customers attention to the fact that he is leaving his change be- hind. Nine cases cut of ten I succeed, even if have to send a waiter to fol- low the man clear out into the street. But there are enough of the tenth cases to make my receipts foot up all of the sum weekly I have named The majority of them are people in hurr " to catch a train or car or to keep dH dpp04nAA11Suty anu bAiCy Aef1h ' bA1O time to return. even if they did discoy- CT their loss a square or so away. The next day they don't care, or at least a majority of them do not to speak about such small matter, the overlooked change seldom being more than five or ten cents, and am just so much ahead. The proprietor get 1t? Certain Iy not. It doesn't belong to him, and just so the money in the cash drawer balances with the register he is sat- kfied." The presiding geniuses of the Atrical box offices are also occasion ally in pocket through the carelessness of ticket purchasers, but with box oe- flee transactions the change, if any, Is usually In such large amounts that their opportunities are fewer and far ther between.
