WEDNESDAY,, FEBRARY IT, 1904.

Speaking of the attitude of Tam- many toward the several democratic presidential candidates, the Union of New Haven says that Murphy hopes to let the candidates struggle for po- sition in various parts of the country without an official nod from New York as to what it's desires are, and then when the time arrives for accomplish ing results the New York leaders will come out for the candidate whom they think they can force the convention to take. They have no use for Hearst, in spite of the fact that he runs the only large newspaper ill that city which supported the Tammany ticket last November. and for that reason they cannot squarely antagonize him now. Murphy, 1t is believed. would like to see Mcclellan nominated.

It is generally supposed that leprosy is hereditary. We have different testi- mony, however, Of a very high order, says 8 writer in a medical journal
 Miss Miriam Sluder of St Louis, who is known as Sister Albana of the Fran cdscan Order, has been eleven years in the Hawaiian Islands, caring for the children of lepers, She has recently returned to St Louis on visit to har parents. She says that there Is lio truth In the common beltef that chil- dren of lepers inherit the disease. She further states, that they take the chil- dren when they are two days old, and that they have never had case where leprosy has developed in after years
 The children mostly all come from the Island Of Molokai, where the 1epIr col. ony is located. One by one the no tons promulgated by the medical pro fession go down before the crucial tes, of experience. Y

COMING 0F SPRING l
Nature Begins Early to Prepare for
 Her Awakening.
WhiIe Vet Snow Ts om the 0round Bfrds Are Busy seed-sovvamg-The Hybermatfng AnimaIs - Afr.
 Croaker's Spring song.

It seems early sor out of door garden Ing. but nature is forever preparing for the season to come. No human gardener perhaps would be found sowing his seed when the thermometers stood at I5 below ! zero, and when the snow lay three feet ! deep upon the ground, yet under these conditions nature is sowing myriads of seeds of the berry-bearing shrubs and creepers. She employs, as her sewers, the grouse, the pine grosbeaks, the red polls and many other birds, which at this season live chiefly on the pulp of the berries, and afterwards distribute the undfgested seeds through the forest. thus securing q perpetuatien of the shrubs whose berries they eat, and pro- vfding winter food for future genera tions of grouse and pine grosbsaks and redpolls.
 If you walk across the swamps at this I season, and look down where the ice is thin and clear. you will not see a Iifsless brown mass of deeaying vegetation, but a living army of plants looking upward hopefully at the light above them and waiting perhaps impatisntly. for a For ! ward! March!" from nature. that they 1Nay G0VAAlIC uHOA WhNEIAA@ WAAiGri. Nor is 1t necessary to visit the swAmps 1 to be aware of the preparations for spring. Look at the treetops and note i that swelling buds give the branches a rosy hue: notice that the willows are turning golden yellow, and that many 1 of the shrubs ares taking on q purple tinge. In fact, amongst all the plants of forest, field and swamp. there is a whis- per, not too loud, but quite audible, that the spring is on the way

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

The board of public works put@.out the hghtA again last night and made an attempt to transact public business in the dark. This is not the proper way of doing business, Mayor Elton and gentlemen of the board of public works. Let us have the business done in the open. The will of the people should be respected in this matter, and not the whim of any one or two mem- bers of the board. RememhAr, after all, you are only the peoples servants. Harken to what Editor Osborn of the New Haven Register, writing under his well known nom de plume ''Trum bull,' says on this question:
 'The public has q right to know wnat is being done. how 1t is done and who does it. It is an inalienable right, and 1t is to be suppressed only when an opposite course is incompati- ble with the public welfare. Such oc- casions rarely arise in a local govern ment, which is exclusively concerned with business matters which call for but ordinary business Judgment, In fact, the very safety of government depends upon the publicity with which its affairs are conducted. More than that, the very reputation of the off cials in power depends upon the open ness with which they do their work So that the real danger in the grow ing habit of the city boards or Water. bury consists, not in the possibility oi doing something that is not good fol the community. but entirely in the i'm pression they will give to the masses which trusted them with the power and make impossible repetition ot the campaign which did SO much tt set Waterbury alright in the eyes ol the other cities of the state. s
 There Is nothing more, irritating tt a community than to see it's business done in way which appears to keel 1t in ignorance of Its importanee. | l persisted in that method will. in time destroy the best organizations that me, can devise. So, in the case Of the new and unquestionably able admins stra
 ton of the city of Waterbury, it is 1
 pity that the principle of secret ses
 sions of city boards should be en forced.
 Personally I do not believe tha
 there is the slightest reason to doub 1 the wisdom of the acts done in secre
 session by the officials of that city.
 would bet on them through .lick an ! thin, but am equally positive tha
 the principle of secret sessions Is a
 corrupting at heart as the worst prin
 ciple man has ever tied himself to.
 doubt if 1t is institutional. excep
 where the people for their better pro
 tection acquiesce in it."

now consists of seamen of every gor. eign nation. With the growth of the navy this foreign element Is steadily increasing. The simple reason is that spirited and self-respecting American youths enter with an aristocratic re- luctance as seamen into an aristocratic and exclusive establishment in which they have no prospect of promotion, no matter how great their merits
 While they may attain to the command of the finest ships in the merchant ma rine, they can get no higher in the navy of the republic than the rank of petty warrant officer.-Philadelphia Record. The Associated Press is vindicating it's claim to the distinction of being the greatest newsgatherer in the world by it's achievements in the far east. Although the actual outbreak of hos tiIities was so sudden as to take the Russian commanders by surprise, there were no less than nine Associated Press correspondents on the scene or the initial conflict When the news of the naval skirnlish of Port Arthur, which cost Russia so dear, was re- ceived at the Associated Press ofice in this country, it did not come in the way of any great surprise to the men in charge there, That actual hostili- ties were under way had been known there for three days, though the infor- nation was not given out II the ..,ls- sians had known what the associated Press correspondents knew. quite like ly their warships would nave worked their searchlights with more diligence on, that fateful night when the tor pedoes punctured them.

and after we have had a warm day or two. we may get glimpse Of a hoary head poked inquiringIy from the. mouth of some sheltered burrow. But the old fellow will surely go back and take an- other nap, for the foraging will not be quite to his liking until March at least. The chipmunks will bs getting active, too, for they never sleep SO sound as the woodchucks do, and it will not be long before we hear the startled .schip" from some venturesome little hackhee, dart ing back to his burrow, as we pass by through the woods. And the big black bear. lean and hungry, will be leaving her den before long, to seek food for herself and her cubs, and woe to the lesser creature which crosses her path, for she is not vegetarian at this sea- son.
 The gray squirrels which have been seen only off and on during the hard- CT part of the winter. will soon be busy every day, raking up the leaves for nuts hidden long ago, or nibblinG the tender buds of the trees. And before the cold weather has really gone. they will be caring for their little families in brown leafy nests in the tops of the taller trees.
 As yet we have had no sign from that vigorous little herald of spring. the peeping frog, but we know, as we look down through the thin ice at the water plants, that he is down there with them, and that even before them he will come to the surface and tune his shriil bag pipe. How few, even among the coun- try people, seem to know this tiny frog. or, after having seen him. will believe that 1t is he who makes the loud piping they hear in the swamps To be sure. on this point, all one has to do. is to go down to the marsh when the frogs are peeping and after wading into the water, stand perfectly still. If the piping ceases. stand until 1t begin again. and then ad- vance as before. At last you will see, upon some reed or close to the surface of the water perhaps in tangle of dead grass. small object which puIsates al more or less regular intervals. At each pulsation you will hear a shrill peep and you will know that you have found what you sought Slowly and carefully put out your hand. and with last sud- den movement put it over the little peeper. You win see that your captive is about an inch long. with a yellowish brown back. on which you may trace 8 cross of 8 darker shade. If you take him home and place him in glass vessel
 with little water for him to stand In you may at dusk see his white throat swell out into 8 glistening round bub-
 bic as he tupes his pipe and sends forth
 his shrill peep, peep, peep" which
 means as plainly as anything does Spring, spring, spring"

How to .CaSer Books.

To cover paper bound books take two pieces of cardboard, tiny bit lar ger than the book. Paste fly leaves at the front and back to the cardboard, which of course is outside. Then take a strip of strong cotton cloth, paste it down. back of the book. have it wide so it will cover about one inch of each piece of cardboard, then joining the two pieces together. Now put a cover of brown paper over all. pasting se- eurely, and your decorated cover goes over this. The books may be covered with decorated silk, pique or duck If you paint or embroider, but the sim plest way is to cover with tissue paper lnot crape).

If you wish to avoid tobacco can cer do not smoke fast. was the i'm junction given by physician recent ly. He said it had been ascertained that the form of cancer which atlicts the mouths of smokers is caused by ir- ritation from the heat of the cigar or pipesten. This physician thought the nicotine had little or nothing to do with 1t. He said those who had can cer as the result of smoking are in- variabfy those who smoke much and particularly those who smoke fast, heating the tongue and the lips by the pipestem or the stub of the cigar. In fact, he said, it was mostly cigar and cigarette smokers who are afflicted with these malignant growths.
