TUESDAY, AUGUST 2s, 1904.

The harmonious meeting of demo- crats last evening speaks well for the work that will be done in this city from now on.. The meeting was an informal affair, and called for tho purpose of bringing the leaders to- gether and opening up of the new democratic headquarters. There was very large attendance, and advan. tage was taken of this to form a club, the members of which will be very active from now on in laying plans to pile up a democratic majority in this city next November. Some stirring speeches were made, and 1t may truly be said that the campign is now opened in Waterbury.

New inventions, methods of rapid transportation, increased trade, the growth of cities, change radically the relations existing between the home, factory and school, says F. T. Carlton in special article in the September Engineering Magazine. With the rise of the modern factory system, the de- cay of the old forms of apprenticeship and the introduction of an extreme and minute division of labor, condi- tions in the industrial world were rev olutionized. The home and the fac tory are now sharply differentiated; the factory assumes many of the func- tions formerly belonging to the home. The latter, particularly when situated in the city, offers very little opportuni- ty for observation of, or participation in, constructive work of any kind. The home chores are few; there is no wood to split, no garden to hoe, no cow to milk, no blacksmithing is done, no shoes are made, no cloth is spun and no wagon or sled is built; all this work is performed elsewhere. In fact, the city home provides no regular and systematic work of importance for the youth The school is thus obliged to take upon itself new obligations; its sphere of action and influence is en, l larged to meet the new situation. The technical school, the manual training high school and ward school manual training have been grafted on to our educational system to meet the de mand for boys who possess trained hands and eyes-boys who are able to plan and execute.

SALE OF WHISKEY IN SUMMER

"The sale of whiskey falls off fully 30 per cent during the summer months" said the communicative bar. tender. "You needn't take my word for it, however Just ask William Me Coach, collector of internal revenue He will tell you the same thing, al though his point of view is somewhat different from mine.
 He has a force of whiskey gaus- gers constantly at work whose duty it is to test all whiskey sold in this district, and at least fifteen of them are laid off every summer because there isn't work enough to keep them busy. Still what Is one mans loss is usually another mans gain, and the breweries are all working overtime. | There are, of course, whiskey drink CTS who never switch off, taking the juice of the rye as steady diet; but they are the exception rather than the lrule"-PhiIadelphi Record.

Business men who are not in the trusts, but who have acted with the republican party and drawn checks for it in presidential years, do not feel this time that their commercial salvation depends upon a republican victory, especially Roosevelt victory. And that is particularly bruising bump, says our Washington core spondent. Sadly the new Roosevelt has begun the pumping slide down the record of the old Roosevelt, the real Roosevelt, the Roosevelt that would reappear again with every aggressive and reckless quality doubly empha- sized were he to be elected. There is no Coney Island gayety in his ''bumping the bumps," for he makes the descent with intense unwilling ness. He dreads the November landing. If MT Roosevelt did not fear RooseveItism as vital issue he would dare to be himself, welcome discussion of his chara eteristics and deeds and not try at the eleventh hour to offer himself as changed mana chastened, mild and inoffen- sive gentleman to whom the clanking of swords, the waving of big sticks and violent language are abhorrent. But the bumps of the ineffaceable record are there, and bump them Theodore Roosevelt must.

REFUSED HIS OWN MEDICINE

A noted surgeon of this city was recently attacked by appendicitis. This surgeon performed last year 800 operation and lost but two; but when he was told that he had to be oper- ated upon he objected, although the operators were also noted surgeons and intimate friends.
 Not on your life," said the pa tient Urging was of no avail, and finally remedies unaccompanied by the knife were used.
 The surgeon was sick some weeks but he finally recovered, and only re gently has been chronicled as having performed an operation for the dis ease with which he, too was afflicted and for which he would not undergo a siege at fellow professional hands, Baltimore Sun.

Acting under its general cooperative offer, the bureau of forestry is now preparing detailed working plans for several tracts of timber belonging to private owners in the states of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Three of the prob lems of management presented may be briefly indicated. Tn Kentucky the owner of a 40,OOO-acre tract wish es to retain large part of the prop erty in forest for continuous produc- ton of railroad ties. Tn West Vir- ginia a 3O,00O-acre tract, the property of a mining company, must be made to maintain a permanent supply of timbers for use in the mines. In the same state another working plan for 5000 acres of timber land aims to se- cure a steady income from the tim Der grown. The problems of man. agement presented the bureau differ with changing forest conditions and with the various purposes of the own CTS. The bureau field force exam ines the forest and counts and meas ures the trees to determine the stand of each species, the rate of growth, and both present and prospective yield in board feet. Having this in- formation, and knowing the habits of growth of the different species, the bureau is then in position to give def mite advice as to the proper course to pursue to attain by management any specified end.
