voices with the birds, began to hunt
the "Bunny' nest, which they were
not long locating and many were I'LL
ed with the emblem of Easter, make
ing their young hearts glad and TILED
them with wonder.
Most of the early morning was
spent in the innocent hunt until the
sound of the irst bell reminded them
of the hour for Sunday school, which
is held every Sunday at 10 o'clock.
The beautiful Easter lesson Luke
II, togather with the beautiful music

the dinner bell summoned the an

DWTGHT IF. BLAKEsLEE.

New Haven has certainly had her share of tragedy so far this year. She was again startled and saddened yes- terday by the accident which resulted in the death of Dwight w. Blakeslee, His taking off was a most sudden and melancholy end of a career of uncom- mon force, activity and efficiency Mir. Blakeslee had been for many years concerned in large business affairs, and his conduct of them was able and successful. In his social relations he was friendly, kind and helpful, and he was a thoroughly good citizen. With apparently many years of useful life before him, he was instantly taken out of life. His fate is 8 sharp re- hinder of the uncertainty and mystery in which we all walk.

NOT 4 PROUD PREEMINENCE.

It is not pleasant to know that the United States, the richest and best country on the face of the globe. has gone to the head of the homicide list, Italy being second. This is not a proud pre-eminence During the year 1905 there were 115 homicides in this country to every million of the popula tion, and Italy had 1O5 to the million During the year the total number in this country was 9,212 This is not a complete list, as many murders were never reported, but the number of hom- icides exceeded that of 1904 by 7SO While no strict record by states was kept, 1t was found that homicides oc- cured most frequently R Pennsylva- nia, California, Ohio. New York and Illinois among the northern states and in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten nessee and Texas in the south.
 During the past year there were only 13S executions for murder In this coun. try, which are to be charged to the year 1904 when there were S,4S2 homi- cides committed This means that there was only one legal execution to sixty four homicides, which doesn't seem to be quite enough
 In good old Connecticut, the Land of Steady Habits, there were thirty homi- cides last year within three of the worst record ever made in this State. It is to be hoped that a large list of homicides isn't going to be one of our steady habits.

The Little EsIkynlo.

When I was out exploring in the
 Northern Polar Sea A lovely Arctic maiden I discovered; She was little Eskymo, as sweet as
 sweet could be, And with a sealskin jacket she was Though my hands and feet were freez-
 ing, Yet she seemed so very pleasing That l stood there unaware of my
 condition, For 1 couldn't quite resist her, So held her hand and kissed her AS she made to me this icy proposi-
 tion: 70 come and be an Esky, Eskymo, mo,
 mo, .i-dwelling where the Arctic breezes
 blow, blow, blow We can live on fish and blubber, With no one around to rubber Won't you come and be q pesky little
 Esky, Esky-mo?' I wooed that Arctic maiden for win
 try month or two, But l found, alasl that she was frog
 enhearted. She met me with an icy glare when'er
 l tried to woo, And so l hitched my reindeer and de-
 parted For it's hard to be hero Witb the mercury at zero, Yet 1 loved that Arctic maiden to
 distraction, And think l hear her calling When the wintry snows are falling, And the wind is from a northerly di-
 rection: 70 come and be an Esky, Eskymo, mo,
 mo, A-dwelling where the Arctic breezes
 blow blow, blow We can live on fish and blubber, With no one around to rubber Won't you come and be a pesky little
 Esky, Esky-mo?"

What can be done is shown by the re- suit of simple experiment, designed to check the waste of infant life, which has been made in the Yorkshire village of Longwood in England. The popula- tion of the place is 5,359, and the acre. age 1884; it's height above sea level varies from 15O feet to 1,2OO feet; there is no congested population, there are no slums; parts of the area are really urban, while other parts are almost purely agricultural. Most of the popu- lation, male and female, are factory workers engaged In the manufacture of woollen goods, with a sprinkling of quarrymen, masons, 1aborers. and small farmers, It is, however to be noted that a comparatively small number of married women go out to work, there being strong public opinion against this in the village. The death rate for ten years has averaged 19.44 and the birth-rate 1889, while the infantile mortality figure has been 122 per LOGO births. The experiment took the form of promise, on a card, to pay 91 as a birthday present to each baby born in the district between November 9, 1904, and November 9, 1905, on it's attaining the age of twelve months.
 The really effective working part" of the scheme was a small committee ot women. By means of the card the lat ter obtained an introduction to the homes and paid visits periodically as occasion offered, helping the mothers with advice and sympathy. On various occasions short personal letters of ad- vice as to the precautions needful were sent to each mother through the post Nothing more simple could well be im- agined, but the infant death-rate has been reduced from 122 to 54 or more than 50 per cent.

AN INGENIOUS ooMpBoM1sE.

The tainted money agitation hasn't quite died out. We read that when the Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church, up on Anthony Mountain, New Jersey, needed money Mrs. Susan Apgar a widow, who is a leading worker in the church, hit upon a scheme to raise it. Her scheme was to hold dance. She sent out invitations and opened her hospitable farmhouse for the event. It was a success. and after paying off the fiddler there was $40 net to be applied to the needs of the church. Pastor J. w. Lowden, however, wouldn't accept the money when she turned it in, declaring it was "taintaG,' and he was supported by most of Che trustees of the church. An unusual amount of discussion has fol- lowed ever since, and it was only with in the last few days that the question was disposed of. Then a compromise was effected, Both sides reached a conclusion that there could be no harm if the money was applied to repairing the church sheds. Mrs. Apgar has turned over the money and it will be used for this purpose.
 It isn't probable that whatever taint there is in this money will hurt the horses that stand in the sheds, but the sheds are near the church, and the influence of tainted money is some times strong.

All the smart thieves don't live and thrive in this country. An original kind of burglary has been practised in Paris for some time by an apparently respectable middle-aged woman named Anna Hoen. She went to the residences of persons who are both prosperous and philanthropic, and obtained money from them for a suburban sanatorium. When she reached the flats of the philanthro- pists and was not admitted after knock ing, she arrived at the conclusion that nobody was at home, and she was usu- ally right. Then she let herself in with a skeleton key-of which seventeen were found in her possession by the police searchers. The other day the willy Mime. Hoen made a mistake She let herself into a fiat where servants happened to be, and these, from their kitchen, heard her rummaging about. The woman was arrested, Jewels, ob- jects of art, antique curiosities, furs, and many other valuables, which she had stolen were found at her house.

Special agent Charles M. Pepper of the department of commerce and labor writing from Mexico, says that the manufacturers of the United States are far behind their European competitors in the matter of packing goods prop erly and complying with customs reg ulations. American goods received in foreign countries are often found to be badly damaged on account of im- proper packing, and the agent cites cases where wrong classification of goods by the shipper resulted in the im- position of high duty when the right classification would have enabled him to get his merchandise in at a low rate.
