VIEW HAVEN,s CLIMATE.

Although a little rain has come it is
welcome and need not interfere with
calling attention to the virtues and at
fractions of New Ravens climate. If
we did not thank the Lord on Thanks
giving day that we have been permitted
to live and breathe in New Haven this
year we forgot something that we
ought to have remembered. The spring
wasn't as burdensome as usual, and
the summer that was approached with
fear and trembling by those who don't
like summer turned out to be so beau
tifuI and cheering that nobody could
help liking it. It was a good summer
to work or play in. And 1.-The golden
glory of these autumnal days!" as one
of our preachers used to generously call
it. Hasn't that glory been wonder
full and wonderfully lasting? Here it is
the first of December, and no signs of
winter yet, except the futile efforts of
people to buy coal. The grass on 1.-The
historic Green" and also on "the lower
Green is green, and will be ready to
NOW soon unless belated frost strikes
it. The clothing merchants are Won
dering what has become of the bounda-
ries of the seasons, and the muskrat is
getting careless about his winter quar-
tiers.
They try to and often do sell the cli-
mate in southern California, and per-
haps New Haven can make something
out of its climate besides enjoyment.
We might begin to advertise New Ha-
ven as health resort as well as the
great convention city. The Chamber of
Commerce might point with pride to
this years weather. Perhaps there
wont be another such year soon, but
even if there isn't we have had this
one, and one year is sometimes enough
to make the reputation Of health re-
sort. And we don't know that we are
not going to have more such years right
along.

IMPUDBSr AND IMPRUDENT.

The sultan Of Bacolod has written to
Captain Pershing, at Camp Wears.
8iindanao. calling the Americans hogs
who eat hogs and challenging them
to a fight.
The sultan of Bacoiod can "call
names" rather neatly. His fling at the
pork-eating done by the United States
folks is not bad. and as he is a Mo-
hammedan and looks upon pork as I'M
clean he meant good deal by it. But,
like many who can call names well and
exhibit anxiety to fight, he isn't pru-
dent, and he hasn't picked out the
right people to sass" OF course the
United States authorities wont call him
names, but they may accept his chal-
Ienge to fight. If they do he will learn
something to his advantage if he re-
mains alive long enough to make his
lesson useful. He would show much
more wisdom if he would come off his
perch promptly and gracefully and be
civilized and Christianized. He is in
the way of 1.-THE onward march," etc,
and he must get out of the way, or else
he will get run over.

SINCE THE RAILROAD CAME.
The Growth of Comfort in an Ancient
Land,

The Growth Of Comfort in an Ancient
Land.
Since railway connection with the
United States was made, some eighteen
years ago. the growth of comfort in
middle-class families here has been
very noticeable. In the first place it
began with the better furnishing of
houses; foreign and especially Aneri-
can styles. came into vogue, and the
comfortable rattan furniture began to
find it's way into homes where formerly
Austrian brentwood was considered the
acme of good taste. Not that some Of
the finer forms of the Austrian furni-
ture are not comfortable, but surely
one cannot say this Of the stiff and
formal sofas and chairs. The Austrian
rocking-chairs were comfortable, but
clumsy Those of us who can recollect
the midde-cass house furnishings of
the early railway days have a mental
picture of the comfortless chairs and
sofas, of the tables made of pine and
stained black, of the tasteless carpets,
when there were any, and Of the con-
ventional arrangement of the chairs
and sofa, the "estrado," which was
survival Of Spanish colonial etiquette,
the sofa being the place of honor and
assigned to the guest. In some old
fashioned houses this arrangement still
holds good, and yet one may expect to
| find furniture that does not demand
rigidity of spine during the long hours
of a ceremonial call.
/ Wealthy families who could bring
| their furniture from France or England
! were in very distinct case, but we are
not considering them; they had their
| great mirrors, their pianos and all that,
| when the only means Of getting them
here was over the steep mountain
roads from Vera Cruz, just as to-day all
the household furniture of the people of
Bogota has to make a mule-back jour-
ney over trails from coast and river.
An old Mexican lady, well on into the
nineties, speaks Of the great houses
here during her early youth, with
numberless servants, kept to indicate
ones state and grandeur, who ranged
! themselves in the patio to receive the
visitor; of the great sala, or parlor,
with its huge mirrors, its rug on the
tiled floor in front of the sofa, and Of
the lonely candle lighted at dusk!'
In the old days there was, among the
rich, certain stateliness of life, and
but little real comfort. The middle
class, then much less numerous than
now, lived in houses furnished with a.
simplicity that to-day can only be par
alleled in some of the interior towns
where things have changed but little.
1t was all very plain here at the capt.
tai, save among the socially eminent.
French cooking was unknown and
chicken and puchero were staple arti-
cIes of daily diet. A whole world Of
culinary discoveries awaited the palate

There Is a life insurance association
in London which confines it's risks to the
members of a total abstinence society.
The figures so far show that the actual
losses on account Of sickness or death
are. much below the expectations upon
which the business was based. Now the
Rev. C. M. Sheldon of Kansas is organ
izing life insurance company to write
policies only on the lives of Christians
and total abstainers, and the churches
are invited to give aid TO the undertake
ing. The promised rates are reported to
be from 10 to 20 per cent below those
of companies which make no discrimi-
nation between enrolled saints and the
people of the world, trusting to the re-
port of their own physicians in respect
Of physical soundness and symptoms,
rather than to certificates of moral
character.
This is interesting work. Perhaps the
next thing in this line will be compan-
les formed for the insurance of only
good total abstainers and good Chris
tians.

A Sane of Politics.

They talk as if elections came too often in
these days;
They say they re bad for business IN
hundred different ways.
That may be true Of others, but md they
are q boon.
And add mucn to the profits Of my corner
beer saloon.
They say too much excitement has bad
effect on trade;
They claim in time Of turmoil that invest
ments are not made.
That may be true Of others, but ! sing an
other tune,
And, if you don't believe 1t, why just drop
in my saloon.
You'll find them on the tables, and your
lind them on the chairs;
You'll hear them making speeches wild,
for which no mortal cares.
You'll find the frayed spellbinder, and as
well the weak buffOOn,
All helping to make business for my little
beer saloon.
They may have time for nothing else;
they've always time for beer,
And so | wish elections came at least three
times = year.
They cannot come too fast for me; they
never come too soon
To help along the business Of my little beer
saloon.

SHE HATH DONE wHArsHE COULD


Mrs. Ashton of New Albany, Indiana,
is a woman who knows how to make
the most of herself and her opportuni-
ties. She is the widow of three Union
veterans and the wife of a fourth.
Upon the death of her first husband
Mrs. Ashton applied for a pension and
got it. When she married the second
time the pension stopped, but upon the
death of her second husband she Sc
cured two pension allowances from the
bureau. Then she married another
veteran and both pensions ceased. Up
on the death of the third husband Mrs.
Ashton promptly applied for three
pensions, which staggered the officials
of the bureau. While the case was
under consideration Mrs. Ashton grew
tired of life of single blessedness and
again selected a Union veteran for a
life partner. He is still alive, and the
question of how many pensions Mrs.
Ashton is entitled to will await further
developments.
Mrs. Ashton has done what she
could. What more she can do in the
pension-getting line remains to be
seen. If "her fourth" dies and she
manages to get four pensions she may
feel encouraged to try for fifth.

# The Elm City may be interested in
the fact that Paris is said to lead the
world in the culture of city trees The
success of the French capital is due not
80 much to an admirable soil and eli
mate as to we'll organized system Of
caring for the trees. In large nurser-
les, young trees are grown and prepar-
ed for the Partisan streets. The culture
or the soil is elaborate. From the very
beginning the trees are pruned and
staked to compel straight growth. BY
frequent transplanting the roots become
SO hardened that they are enabled to
withstand injury due to transportation.
When tree is sufficiently large it is
set out in the streets with the same
care that was lavished upon it in the
nursery. Often the cost of planting a
single tree is $50. Whenever a storm
destroys the city trees the nursery can
be Immediately drawn upon for another
supply.

most beautiful banner in the world, but
