and take such hold upon the memory
as to linger there for years, often
through life, while others of more seri-
GUS import and far more worthy Of re-
membrance, slip away and are lost.
Yet the fact is there, and it is just as
stubborn a fact as any other of the
mental vagares against which the
logic-grinders vainly protest. Most
men-not all-are made that way" and
the sense. of nonsense-by no means
identical with the sense of humor-has
long been recognized as a gift of taste
not unworthy of being cultivated and
mlnlstered to. 1t was Horace who re-
commended the mingling of little
toily with our wisdom, as a little
nonsense now and then is pleasant" but
while it is gratifying to be able to forth
~ ourselves against the sneers of the
overWise with classic authority, it is
safe to say that nonsense is quite in
dependent of it, being well able to hold
its own by force of natural prediction.

THE WAR is OYER.

The war with Germany which has
ragged in the sensational newspapers is
over for the present. Last evening
Herbert W. Bowen, Venezuela's repre-
sentative in the negotiations at Wash
ington, signed with each of the allies
representatives a protocol providing for
the immediate raising of the Venezue-
Ian blockade and for the reference of
the question of preferential treatment
of the claims of the allies against Vene-
zuela to the Hague arbitration tri-
bunaI.
All concerned are reported happy,
and they have good reason for being
so. The affair has been a notable il
lustration and triumph Of the new and
improved way of doing things by the
powers. To be sure, Venezuela has had
taste of war" but she hasn't been
seriously hurt, and she has been taught
a needed and useful lesson. The debt
collecting nations while firm have been
in the main reasonable, and the United
States has shone throughout the whole
dangerous business like a guiding star
of hope. Verify we are good people,
and Mr.. Bowen is most emphatically
one of us.

THE FIRST MIGRANTS.

One of our leading ornithologists
recently remarked: when bird stu
dent has seen his first bluebird of the
year, it matters not what winter still
holds in store for him. For that man
at least, the spring has arrived" This
fact being true, let US go out into the
fields and orchards and hasten the
arrival of spring. by getting a glimpse
of our first bluebird of the season. And
we can hardly go out too soon, for
within the next few days the vanguard
Of the migrants will be here. Many or
US, I am afraid, are in the habit or
waiting until the middle Of March or
the beginning of April before going out
to look for birds, but the ornithologists
are on the lookout for the early arrivals
before the middle of February. There
will not be many birds seen as early as
that of course, but there are apt to be a
few. and no student can tell when he
may have the pleasure of seeing an
earliest on record for his locality.
One reason why some Of our birds
are back so early is that they find

short distance to the south Of us.
Some may have gone but fifty miles, or
twenty five, or ten, and these can be
back with US in few hours whenever
a warm day or two tempts them to
make the trip. Others. of course,
travelled thousands of miles to reach
their winter homes, and coming north
again in easy stages. 1t will take them
months to reach their breeding
grounds. But it is the early arrivals
with which we are interested at present;
we need not trouble ourselves about
the others until it is time for them to
put in an appearance. Let us hope
that our first migrant of the season will
be a sky-hued bluebird, for I know of
no other bird so typical Of the Spring.
His azure plumage harmonizes with the
last patches of the lingering snow and
with the appleblossoms soon to burst in
tinted clouds from the gray branches of
the leafless trees. His voice is soft and

A RUSSIAN EDY.

What can happen in this imperfect
world is sadly illustrated in the case of
Captain Kazimoff, member of one of
the most aristocratic families in st.
Petersburg, who has just been granted
a pardon by the Car after fifty years
of exile in Siberia. Captain Kazmoff
is over seventy years old. He was con-
demned for the murder of one Count
Demetri Dolgorouki, who was found in
the streets of st. Petersburg one morn
ing, stabbed to the heart. Captain Ka-
zimoff and the murdered man were In
the same army corps and were COM
panions in the enjoyment of some of
the gayeties of the Russian capital, but
it was proven that on the day preced-
ing the murder the two had quarrelled
over dancer at one of the theatres.
Captain KaZimoff was arrested, and
though he protested his innocence, and
said that he must have been in bed at
the time the murder took place, he was
| unable to prove an alibi and was found
guilty. The sentence passed upon him
was exile for life. A month ago it was
shown that Captain Kazimoff had for
half century suffered unjustly. While
on his death-bed an aged man in a
lower sphere of life than either the VIC
tim of the knife or the victim of the

PROGRESS OF 4 GREAT REFORM

PROGRESS OF GREAT RFFORM
When the six tagging and lonesome
towns in Connecticut that haven't join
ed the good roads movement get into
line, and when Connecticut is fully
provided with good roads it will be
proper if the adjoining States are also
equipped in the same way. So it is en-
couraging to notice that an extensive
plan of road Improvement in New York
has been thought out. A resolution
has just been introduced in the New
York State senate proposing consti-
tutional amendment to permit the
State to bond for $5O,OOO,OOO, at the rate
of $5,000,000 year, for the purpose of
building good roads. The proposed
amendment permits the mourning Of
Indebtedness for road improvement, not
to exceed fifty millions at any one time.
1t also provides that at least 2 per
cent. must be reserved annually for a
sinking fund.-, and general laws are to
be passed requiring the counties to pay
not exceeding 35-10Oths or the towns
not more than 15-100ths of the total
cost of highway improvement. 1t is es-
! timated that the main highways and
market roads In New York are about
10 per cent. Of the road mileage in the
State. The total number of miles which
! it is desired to equip with improved
/ stone roads is about $500, and it is de-
sired to have the State build those
roads, leaving the counties to develop
and maintain the remaining $685. miles
of dirt road.
| This is a large scheme, but none
too large for New York, which ought
to have as good roads as Connecticut.
