been made, in existing conditions, to protect the president have. been greeted White House mail contained daily, ak most hourly, threats of assassination, Mr Cleveland was called coward by unscrupuious partisans because some extra secret service men were put on duty about his person. When a body oil cavalry attended Mir. Roosevelt on re- cent passage across the city of New York persons wrote to the newspapers to reprOach him for not trusting tho people and walking unarrned and alone. Such a spirit is a discouraging exhibition of folly. 8
 Whether further attempts to secure fit legislation will be more fortunate than the earlier ones may perhaps be doubtful. The field of debate is too tempting to the denagogue to be neg-s lected. Many will fancy that some po- litical advantage is to be gained by holding MT. Roosevelt up to ridicule as one departing from the republican sir- plicity of our fathers and making vain pretensions to royal Iaonors; and, in fact, it must be admitted that some un- balanced minds are caught by such aH plea. But it will be national disgrace X if we wait until another president has been sacrificed to an Anarchist or q madman before we realize the truth which three previous assassinat tions ought to have taught us.-Providence Journal.

NOT IN THE ORNAMENTAL POSE

But Lord Salisbury not only detached his mind from the observations of newspapers and other critics; he stood apart from the people which he govern ed. If he was respected, he was never popular. He did not cut conspic- uous figure in the public eye, as did MT. Gladstone, and it may De said in his praise that the heart of England never beat the quicker for his presence. He was willing enough to do the work, he was unwilling to assume the ornamental pose, of government. Nor did he for get that he was, in one of his incarrla- tions, a great feudal lord, the head of an ancient house. to whom any close ap- proach to the world outside was dis satisfied. Not that he was ever inap- positely conscious of his position. But being, like all great men, of a single temperament, he was more interested in the essentials of life and politics than in their superficial appurtenances. . Blackwood's

outcome of a plot. Whichever it is the victim is taken unwarned; and unless precautions against the approach or un- known persons are observed there are too many chances of q fatal outcome
 These considerations are so obvious that it is difficult to understand how any reasonable being can ignore them. Ingenious theories of democratic equal- ity are quite out of place in any dis cussion of the ways. and means of se- curing the President of the United States from assassination. Yet in the debates upon the subject the attempt IS been made to arouse unworthy preJu- dices by asserting that decent regard for the presidents life is an affectatlon of the pomp of royalty and denial or the principles of the Constitution. Sem ator Bacon, of Georgia, has declared that the president should have the same protection from the law that every citi- zen has, and no more. The analogy is entirely fallacious, The English com mon lay, indeed, ensures equality of treatment in all matters of justice. The king of England has no personal privi- leges in this respect which do not be- long to his humblest subject. The ab- sence of all caste distinctions has al ways characterized the English speak ing race. No one asks that the Presi- dent of the United States shall be hedged in with laws of lese-majeste like the German emperor. But his life is more than the life of the individual. It is the concern, not only of himself and his friends, but of every citizen. The consequences which may flow from his death are incalculable. The Constitu- ton provides, it is trueJ for the peaceful entrance into office of his successor. But even looking at the matter in that rather unfeeling way it is not difficult to conceive of circumstances in which a change would be an embarrassment if not a calamity What new dangers to the nation might have arisen if Lincoln had been assassinated in the middle of the civil war!
 From the lowest point of view it is bad politics as well as foolish states manship to insist that the president shall expose himself every day to risks that might be averted After the assas- sination of Mir. Mckinley three recom- mendations were made to congress b Mr Roosevelt on this subject. They were that Anarchists and anarchistic literature should be suppressed, that the federal courts should have Jurisdiction over any one who kills or attempts to kill the president, and that treaties should be made with other powers for dealing with anarchy. Yet with the ex- ception of clause in the immigration bill providing for the deportation of An archists congress has done nothing. More than this, such efforts as have

DOCTOR KNEW
.Had q Tried It HimseIf,

The doctor who has tried Postum Food Coffee knows that it is ar easy, certain, and pleasant way out of the coffee habit and all of the ails follow ing, and he prescribes it for his pa- tients as did physician of Prosper town, N. J., one of his patients says: During the summer just passed I suf- fered terribly with a heavy feeling at the pit of my stomach and dizzy feel ings in my head and then a blindness would come over my eyes so I would have to sit down. I would get so nerv- GUS I could hardly control my feel tings.
 Finally spoke to our family physi- elan about t and he asked If I drank much coffee, and mother told him that Isdid. He told me to immediately stop drinking coffee and drink Postum Food Coffee in it's place as he and his fam- ilye had used Postum and found it a powerful rebuilder, and delicious food drink.
 q hesitated for a time, disliking the idea of having to give up my coffee, but finally got a package and found it to be all the Dr. said. Since drinking the Postum in place of coffee my dizziness blindness and nervousness are all gone, my bowels are regular and I am again well and strong. That Is short state- ment of what Postum has done for me" Name given by Postun Co, Bat tie Creek, Mich.

 MT. Rogers was one of the organizers and directors Of the Totoket MaIleable Iron company. After this company had been in existence two years he bought a fourth interest in it and carried on the business under the firm name of Rogers & Hadley, until he sold out to the Malleable Iron Fittings company, still holding his interest in the company, however.
 Mir. Rogers leaves no fortune with which to found a library or college, but monuments rise up everywhere; near ly all of Branford's beautiful shade trees owe their life to him. His was the force that gave growth to every enter prise, that the town is enjoying to-day, and ibrary, schools, good roads, shade trees took their beginning in MT. Rog- CTS day and administration.
 Elizur Rogers, son of Abraham and Fanny Fowler Rogers, was born at Stony Creek, November 2, 1916. He was educated at the district schools and Branford Academy. In 1881 he went to New Haven as clerk in a dry goods store, and in 1882 was clerk at the long brick store in Fair Haven.
 In the spring of 1883 he returned to | Branford and accepted a position as clerk for his brother, Eli F. Rogers, who then owned store, corner Main and Montowese streets, where the Rogers house now stands.
 In 1899 he became partner with his brother and remained with him until late in 1S44. He afterwards opened Rogers street, and built wharf, where he conducted coal and lumber busi- ness for a number of years.
 In 1867 he was elected town clerk and treasurer, which office he held until 1870.
 He was for a number of years super intendent of highways in the town, and the improvements of the highways was largely due to his energies. ..
 The deceased also took a large inter- est in the consolidation of the schools, and as town treasurer, when the town tried to stop appropriations, Hon E. c. Scranton, then president of the Second National bank, loaned him, on the towns obligations the necessary money to pay the schools expenses, and the schools were kept running.
 In 1867 Mir. Rogers, with others, in- the Stony Creek Oyster com pany, and was elected secretary and treasurer. This company was the first l in the state to plant shells for spat to set on. He was for several years super intendent of the company. In the year of 1872 and 1873 this company sold over seventeen thousand dollars worth of | oysters that had grown from these sets, In 1S43 MT. Rogers was married to Miss Sally Foote, and two sons were born of this marriage. Mason Rogers, who enlisted in the Fifteenth Connecti- cut regiment in 1862, died fen the service in 1864. Another son, Frank Abraham Rogers, died in 1866. z..a4
 MT. and Mrs. Rogers removed to New Haven in 1889, and had since resided here. Mrs. Rogers died just year ago.

FAITH IN LITERATURE.

E One of the Things Indispensable to an
 Author. t All good literature must be written in faith. That is it's necessary condition. The writer's appeal is not immediate like an actors or an orators, or even like aipainter's, sculptor 5, or a nusi- cian's.- It's form Is invisible, and in modern times usually laudable too. It works solely upon the lonely mind, and has no outward aid. Nor can it's effect be tested by anything ike the demon- strations of a theater. A novelist once saw a young person blush over one of his books An emperor once saw dull person laughing over Don Quixote. But such visible expressions of emotion are rare, and in these days of print the au- thor himself can hardly ever hope to witness them. That is why he of all working people needs most faith. He has to cast his bread upon the waters, but it is extremely unlikely that he will find 1t again after many days. And twithout driving metaphor too far) we may say that the better the bread, the less chance he has of finding it. Instances are almost too obvious, but let Us take. the highest, of all and re- member that it was only be a mere fluks that Shakespeare's best plays were even thought worth preserving. Or, to take the case of Blake again, what chance oi recognition had the Songs of Inno- cence" in 17Ss? Within some thirty pr forty years Charles Lamb and Worlds worth had discovered them. Within an- other fifty or sixty years after that they became the common property of all who love iteralture: but by what faith in beauty and in mans ultimate recogni- tion of beauty must the poet have been inspired, who at the time when English verse had perhaps touched its lowest point could raise the song of ''The Fchoing Green" or 'The Chim Tey- Sweeper" or "The Divine Image" or that song of Night with it's metre of subtle and varying beauty. For a hum dred and fifty years nothing to conl- pare with such things had been heard in England, and the world around Blake was contemptuously deaf to them. He could only write in faith that some day human beings would again be born with minds sufficiently like his own to pei : ceive the beauty O his work. To re move mountain is a trivial task com pared with the confidence in so vast a change: and vet the change came.
 It is this faith in the ultimate simil.r. ity e great minds which makes great literature possible, for not even gcni 5 could produce without the hope that as some time it's work would be taken af it's value. An evidence for the eaitt may be seen in the peculiarity of all che work of the highest genius-that it a. pc3rs capable of growth, no matter how old it has become. There are passages in Homer and Shakesseare which 1t has been impossible for the world to ap- preciate or understand til this very moment. They appear to have pee. growing with the world, so much more Cal, the world discover in them now tran at any past time, This is why the works and teachings of .ke highest gen. jus are rightly called immortal.-A"ad- en.y and Literature.

WHAT ALCOHOL DOES.
ITS DESTRUCTIVE EXPECTS TO
 BE SET FORTH
Tn a circaiar 10 Teachers Tor Help in
 Instruction.


 School superintendentss and teacher. throughout the state will receive circu- lars in a short time, outlining a course of temperance instruction to be followed in the public schools. The circulars will be sent out by a com mittee which the president of the Connecticut Teachers association was instructed to appoint by the business meeting at the annual com vention of the association, held in this city last week.
 The circular will contain copy of the law enacted in 1901, ordering that the effects of alcohol and narcotics on the health be taught, in connection with hy- giene, to all pupils above the third grade in all graded public schools ex. cepting high schools. The circular vii also suggest to teachers a line of in. struction for the work. This circular will be similar to the one issued two years ago by committee, consisting oi w. B. Ferguson, F. H. Beede, w. I Twitchell and F. A. Verplanck. It will treat of the importance of physiological knowledge, the relation of narcotics to physiology and hygiene, and will give general suggestions on teaching tenn perance
 . The circular describes the destructive effects of alcohol on the bodily organs, and says that alcohol undermines both mind and morals and affects the inno- cent as we'll as the guilty. Unless warned, the innocent of to-day may be- come the guilty of tomorrow Teach CTS are asked to warn and endeavor tc fortify their children against the temp tations and dangers to which they may be exposed
 The circular will suggest that teach CTS emphasize the fact that alcohol has the power of creating an increased ap- petite for itself until, perhaps, the vic tim has lost all self-control, and be- comes a slave to an appetite stronger than love foraparents, wife or children stronger than desire of respect or dread of poverty or ridicule; an appetite ter rible in it's tornnents, and never to be satisfied in it's demands"
 < The following topics suggest the points to be most strongly emphasized Dy the teacher:
 The source of alcohol; the two. classes of alcoholic liquors, consisting of cider wines, beer and ale, which are fernent- ed, and brandy, whiskey, gin, rum which are distilled; that alcohol is a harmful drink because it injures the body the mind and the morals, and de- creases ones chances of succeeding ir life; that alcohol in sufficient quantities temporarily paralyzes the nerves thai control the voluntary muscles, and thus causes drunkenness; that alcohol, ir sufficient quantities, paralyzes the brain, causing unconsciousness, and sometimes death; that it is a potent cause of hereditary defects; that in gen. eral the abuse of alcohol leads to loss oi employment, health, self-respect and the respect of others, unhappiness, pov. erty and death.
 Main points to be taught about the effects of tobacco, opium, morphine chlora1 and cocaine are mentioned.

THE GARDENER IN OLD ROME.

He literally grew co1onnades; he fashioned obelisks of box, cypress or Hex. He not only fiattered his lord and master by inscribing his name in odor- iferous herabs or gorgeous flowers that started the garden with occasional tours de force, but he actually trimmed trees into family portraits, or even those of historical characters; he transformed
 bushes and thick foliaged shrubs into the fantastic likeness of ships, lions, bears and birds. And these rather de- generate "conceits' and extravagances
