CHRISTIAN PROBLEMS.

On Sunday evening, November 9Th,
the rector of st. Luke's church. of
this city, read to his congregation
the annual Pastoral Letter of the
House of Bishops, most able and
elevating paper, indeed, which not
only becomes powerful inspiration
to the churchman himself, viewed
from religious standpoint, but is
also prolific with some of the best
thought of the age upon topics which
occupy the political and social as
we'll as the theological theatre. Take
this splendid utterance:
"And this brings us to sneak
finally, of those two great problems
which, today, supremacy confront the

MAYOR THAYER.

If Mayor Thayer," says the New
Haven Leader, lis as bad as he is oc-
casionaLy pictured we do not believe
Norwich people would endorse him as
they did yesterday" 1t is a rather
notable fact that when Mayor Thayer
went into Office it was to make some
startling changes, especially that to Il
municipal ownership of the gas plant.
Feeling on this matter ran high and
every step on the way to accomplish
ing change of service has been made
difficult. Also there has been a strong
antagonisna to him on political and III
some cases on personal grounds. He
has kept OH his way, done what he
thought was right and relied on his
fellow citizens to support him. He has
also closed his ears to good deal OF
what passes pretty well for abuse and
Misrepresentation
From all this it would appear that
the New Haven paper is right in its
suggestion as to the support he re
ceived at Mondays election. The
republicans had professeda themselves
confident of winning, but the Fdemo
Gratis made clean sweep and Mayor
Thayer himself ran ahead of the avel
age majority for the ticket by some
thing like so per cent-Hartford
Times.

DRAWBACKS OF RURAL LIFE.
I'm It There Are Beauties Innunner-
able, But Loneliness Is Often
Depressing.

It is the transplanted urbanite who
feels most deeply that while the coun-
try has delights. it has also its draw
backs. The very silence, for instance,
gets on his nerves-the so-called peace
full silence of which poets who could not
be persuaded to live beyond the hearing
of street gongs write SO enticingly.
The zephyrs, says the Indianapolis
Journal, that watt the scent of clover
across the fields become different thing
when they wall and moan about the
lonely house at night or lash the trees
angrily. Bird songs are delightful, but
the blood-curdling screech of the owl
at midnight is another thing entirely.
The ''watchdog's honest bark may be
cheering, but the melancholy howl ola
dog baying the moon produces differ
emit effect as it is borne across the fields.
Sensitive persons have been known to
contemplate suicide after hearing the
chorus of the frogs on spring night.
The elements are not always conducive
to joy, whatever the environment. but
in the city one may forget that it is
raining outside or even look out at il
with interest In the country not even
the contemplation of possible agrfcul-
tural benefits can make the world other
than sodden and depressing when the
moon is not at the full or when clouds
are In the sky, and in the gloom objects
familiar by day loom large and strange.
The air becomes full of steaithy sounds;
the shrilling of insects here and there
accentuates the stiffness. The very
spirit of loneliness is abroad, and he is
a nature, lover indeed who In the night
watches does not long for the flare of
the electric lights. for the changing OF
the street car gong, for the echo OF pass
ing footsteps or the sound Of CHEEKY
whistling. In daytime, too, the con-
temptation of earth and sky and far
horizon becomes oppressive to the SIM
pie human soul not attuned to natures
vastness and he will wish for the COM
2anionship of his kind.
1t is we'll to live in the country; the
country has beauties innumerable; joy
and inspiration are there-but it some
times happens that it affords more in
spiration to the one who admires it
from affair than to him who is on the
ground.

THE UsELEssNEss OF MAN.
Of Importance, Unless There
Was a Pole to Climb.

mo, ladies, said the woman with the
double chin, who was delivering the
principal speech of the afternoon, relates
the Chicago Record Herald, I'VE are no
longer dwelling in a world where man
may put forth reasonable claim to SUI
periority.
I'VE have thrown of the shackles Of
social bondage. Woman has taken the
place to which nature assigned her in
the beginning. Not, let me hasten to
explain, because man has seen fit to
emancipate her. Through the shear
force of her own ability and her own
untiring zeal she has compelled him to
reluctantly yield to her the rights which
through countless ages he stubbornly
withheld upon the fatuous plea of his
own superior greatness.
1T makes my blood boil to think OF
the submissive manner in which the
women of the past were willing to be
thrust into the background and treated
not as mems fellow human beings, but
rather as necessary evils in the world.
Carthage fell and Rome fell because the
men of Carthage and Rome treated the
women as their interiors. Thank
heaven; woman has at last3aWakened to
a sense of her Importance in the world.
If every man were to be blotted out of
! existence tomorrow, the worlds affairs
would still go on. Man is no longer a
necessity
I'VE have women bankers, women ar
/ chitects, women engineers, women
! financiers. In the colleges women are
| taking all the honors for scholarship;
in every branch of business life you will
] find women taking a leading part. In
science women are rapidly leaving the
! men behind. As have said. man is no
! longer indispensable. We could to-day,
! If it were necessary, begin getting along
without him We scorn his claim that
+ he is needed here, and We"
Excuse me-" interrupted the lady
who was acting as chairman Of the meet
ing. II have just been informed that
the screen on which our dissolving views
are to be shown is loose and that we will
have to omit the pictures unless we can
! ind a man somewhere in the building
/ who will climb up that middle post and
! refasten the rope.
After the janitor had Skinned up ten
feet and made the screen secure the
i eloquent speaker went on, her assistant
working the magic lantern to show
| women in the act of voting, running To-
4 comotives, receiving money at bank
windows and doing other things that the
foolish men had once supposed they
alone were sent into the world to do.

The infnitesimal germs sent out from
Washington produce the necessary bac-

the successful cultivation OF cIoyers of
all kinds, alfalfa, soy beans, cowpeas
and all other members of the legume

In the resultant fluid, having been thor

growing plants must have nitrogen.
They absorb this by their roots, and
to replace this nitrogen fertilizers are

HAWAlPs VARIED CLIMATE.
Where the Traveller Can Enjoy the
Atmosphere Of Three
Zones in One.

There are two places in the world
where a person can pass through the
tropical, sub-tropical and temperate
zones inside of an hour. Hawaii is one
and Darieeling, in northeastern India,
is another In both these places the
trick is done by climbing up the high
mountains.
In Hawaii the traveller starts with
the warm breath of the Pacific tanning
him amid the smell of palm trees He
passes by great clusters of tropical
fruits and aas he mounts the trees
change until he is In the kind of seem
cry that may be found in the southern
United States. Still he climbs and soon
he notices that 1t Is much cooler and
that the character of the scene has
changed to one that reminds him of
the temperate zone. with fields in
which potatoes and other northern
vegetables are growing.
In DarieeTing the change is still
more wonderful. The entrance to the
tableland on which the little mountain
city stands is through a dark, somher
tropical pass, full of mighty palms and
hung with orchids and other jungle
growth,
After awhile the trees change from
palms to the wonderful tree ferns.
These alternate with banana trees I'M
til. after some more climbing, fofaais
are reached of magnolias and sinilar
trees. Through these magnolias the
way leads ever up and all at once, over
an open pass, there comes into view
thickets of Himalayan rhododendrons
and the evergreen of frs and eedars.
| and beyond stand the white. grim,
gnoW-clad, frozen mountain peaks like
arctic icebergs on land. In less than
two hours a traveller can ascend from
orchids through jungles to tea planta-
ern roses and violets.

James Gordon Bennett originated
the idea of havino these yearly tests
of the merits of automobiles manufac-
tured in the various countries of the
world and the skill of the drivers, five
years ago, when he confided to the GUS
tody of the Automobile club of France
the valuable trophy from which the
race takes its name. The race is
practically open to all, although the
entries must be made through an auto
mobile club of recognized standing
and the number of competing cars
from each club is limited to three. The
object, says an exchange, in addition
to promoting the sport of automobile
ing, is to encourage the production OF
thoroughly efficient touring cara
machine which shall combine speed
with the utmost reliability--and while
to the layman in this new sport there
is little in the appearance of the racing
carsr-veritable monstrosities some of
them-to suggest the touring vehicle,
| the results of the experience obtained
in these races have been of distinct
advantage, as conciusiyely shown in
the great Improvement in modern cars.
France has won the event twice-in
1900 with Panhard -Levassor, and in
the following year with a Panhard,
the courses being respectively from
Paris to- Lyons and Paris to Bordeaux
Great Britain once, with a Napier,
over the Paris Vienna course, and
! Germany once with a Mercedes, over
the circular course in Ireland last
year. The minimum distance fixed
by the rules is $50 kilometers (about
S44 miles,, and the maximum 65o kilo-
meters (416 miles,. The club holding
the trophy is entitled to choose the
route.

AMERICAN FOREST GIANTS
California, Washington and Oregon
Have Exhibits at the Fair.

In the outdoor forestry display at
the worlds fair is the trunk of a
giant California yellow pine that
measures IA feet from its base to
the first limb. AT the base the tree
measures four feet in diameter, and
at the first limb the thickness is but
seventeen inches less, showing body
as straight as q carved pillar or
tapering Marble
This specimen was felled in the
immense pine forests Of California;.
and brought to st. Louis i'll nine
sections, each as heavy as the logging
wagon coulA transport. The pieces
have been joined together and the
monster tree lies in its exhibit space
just as it appeared in the woods be-
fore it was stripped of its limbs and
divided by the lumbernan's saw.
Another California exhibit is the
section OF large sugar pine that
measures six feet nine inches in di-
;imeter. This log was run through
the saw hill and divided into twenty
large slabs to demonstrate the sound
ness of the timber. The sections
were put III place in the exhibit to
show the girth of the tree, but its
| fiber may, be examined by removing
| the pieces

the point of thickness. II is Il Doug
