Tho State Board of Equalization evidently understands addition. but not subtraction and division. Last year it added millions to the grand list of the state. and now it has made another big "rake off as will be seen by an article elsewhere in this paper. Last year said board added $259. 900 to North OAnaan's grand list of 1900. and now seid board has added $75. 5.OOO to North CAnaAn's grand list of 1901. If misery loves company" it IS . satisfaction to know that some of the cities have had enormous amounts added to their lists. But where are the towns and the cities eventually going to land if not only the grand list is constantly increased, but in many instances the rate of taxation is increased? For number of years North Oanaan's grand list and rate of taxation increased alternately. The rate finally reached 90 mills. but with the increased valuation or grand list the rate vas gradually lowered until last October the town voted to lay tax of 12a mills to defray the expenses of the town the ensuing year, but, presto change. the State Board of Equalization has added $75. 900 to the grand list of 1901. It is an old saying that "Death and taxes are the only two things we aro sure of in this world"

The New Constitution Gets "Swatted"
 By O,93l Votes.
 The constitution proposed for the state of Connecticut was rejected by the people last Monday by a vote of 2O,931 to 10. .35s and clear majority of l0,573. Every one of the cities except Putnam voted against it. and every county also awaited" it. Ninety-six towns voted No. and sixty-five towns voted Yes, but only 15 per cent of the registered voters of the state took the trouble to go to the polls. Thus the people in every part of the state proved that they are satisfied with the present constitution which was adopted in 1918. The cities are responsible for calling the recent convention which consumed four and one half months of time and cost the state over S1OO,OO0 which went for naught.

A Suggestion to Bankers.

eff the bankers of the country only
knew the great difference a little soap
and water makes in a dirty banknote,
there would be more clean money in
circulation" said a treasury official
while talking with friends one day last
week. "If you have never seen the
operation, just spread soiled note out
upon a marble slab and use a small
brush that has been well soaped and
60 to work scrubbing, lightly, of course.
But few strokes are necessary to Sc
cure a clean note. l give my personal
attention to all the paper money
brought into my household, and tell
you feel repaid for the little work it
causes.
81 can see every reason why there
should be a person employed in the,
banking houses for this particular
duty. Certainly the neglect in doing
so gives ample cause for complaints
from the paTons concerning the dirty,
oily notes that are too frequently hand
ed to them. They may be full of germs
which, of course, are dangerous, and
this risk could be easily eliminated by
the simple use of soap and water"

Here is the latest story which Bishop
Potter is telling on himself: On Friday
evening, Nov. 81 last, the bishop per-
formed an ordination ceremony in Stat
en- Island and, as is his custom on such
occasions, wore a small red hood at the
back of his surplice.
An old negro woman was in the con-
gregation as an interested listener. Aft
er the ceremony her mistress, who was
also present, asked her what she thought
of it.
i"Well," she replied in a hesitating
way, 81 liked his speech fust rate, but
feel mighty sorry for dat man. l guess
he amt got no woman to tend to him,
has he?" she asked.
On being assured that the bishop was
given every possible attention she re-
piled positively:
Now, l know better dan dat, cause
one time. when he turned round, saw
dat de back of his coat was busted. an
his red undershirt was shown through"
